Krystal switched his Army Instructor mode on.

''First lesson, breathing!'' He said sternly.

Isaac nodded, they were still in the firing range, and they were all alone. Most of the soldiers are currently having their swordsmanship training.

''Your breathing was alright, but it was not great! Your breathing can move the Flintlock just enough to throw off your shot— I think that's what happened during your shooting.''

Isaac listened closely— he sucked every information he got into his brilliant brain.

''Let's try the first method. Try shooting one more time, but this time, try first breathing method.'' Krystal said and stepped aside.

Isaac nodded and walked towards the red line— he went into his shooting stance and waited for more instructors.

''Draw a deep breath and exhale only half of it. Then hold your breath as you squeeze the trigger.''

Isaac nodded, ''Phew.'' He took a deep breath, and when he started exhaling it out, he only exhaled half out.

Then, he held his breath and pressed the trigger.

*Bang*

The bullet left the barrel, and this time Isaac felt like it felt much more comfortable.

*Bam*

The bullet hit the edge of the target board!

''It worked!'' Isaac looked amazed.

Krystal nodded, ''Let's try the second method.''

Isaac nodded and waited till the Flintlock was ready to be reloaded.

18 seconds later, he reloaded the Flintlock and went into his shooting form.

''Take several deep breaths. Then squeeze the trigger after you exhale one breath and before you inhale the next breath.''

Isaac nodded and started taking several deep breathes.

Then, he exhaled one breathe and instantly pressed the trigger.

*Bang*

The bullet left the barrel like a cannon, and this time it hit the target as well, around the same spot as previously.

Krystal nodded, ''Well done. Which one was better to use?''

Isaac pondered for a moment— he replied a few moments later, ''The first one, it felt quicker as well.''

Krystal's mouth curved into a small smile, ''Then, you should use it.''

Isaac nodded.

''I have seen you relaxing after you take a shot, don't do that.'' Krystal reminded.

''Why?'' Isaac tilted his head.

''Keep the trigger pressed for a few seconds longer after the bullet left, and keep your posture. It will help your accuracy, but keep in mind that I am only talking about firing a gun. Anything can happen in the battle, and you need to be prepared to be versatile.''

Isaac nodded.

Krystal put arms behind his back and mentioned, ''I am only teaching you to shoot the gun, I don't teach you to battle with it, everyone has their own way of battling, and copying someone might be inefficient.''

Isaac looked at his Flintlock, 'Battle style...'

''We have a few hours before the soldiers come to have their daily shooting practice, till then, let's see can we improve your stance.''

Isaac nodded and for the next few hours spent time with Krystal on the firing range.

His accuracy was improved by miles, and one of the shots already managed to hit the bullseye.

Krystal couldn't comprehend the talent this young man in front of him possesses— he is definitely the best student he ever had!

After the soldiers arrived, Krystal and Isaac left the firing range, and at first, Isaac thought it was the end of the training, but he was wrong.

Krystal took him to the nearby Public Library.

The library already had people of every age, but there was open seats available.

''Wait for a moment,'' Krystal said as Isaac sat on the chair with a small desk in front of him.

Isaac nodded and watched as Krystal went to search for books.

Shortly afterward, Krystal came back with four books.

He put three of them in front of Isaac and sat on the other side of the table— he started reading one of the books about Commanding an Army.

Isaac took the first book, and the text was [Terrain of Beast Forest]

''Hmm?'' Isaac got curious and started reading.

The book was about the different terrains Beast Forest has. It interested Isaac quite a lot because apparently, the edges of the Beast Forest have very soft ground, which makes mobility extremely difficult, especially for the people with heavy armors.

A few hours later, he finished the book and grabbed the second one.

[Battle Tacticts]

Isaac breezed through the book, and it was fascinating to read about so many different strategies— sometimes even he couldn't comprehend how someone could find such a way to defeat their enemies. It even seemed laughable, but they still worked.

The third book was named [Importances of Physique]

It told what was important during the battles. Strength and Stamina were important during the Wars.

Agility and Stamina were important in battles against Beasts. Human strength cannot be stronger than Beasts of the same level, which means that humans have to adapt and use different ways to defeat their enemies.

That's where Agility and Stamina appeared. Beasts couldn't use their four limbs as freely as humans, which made Agility extremely important.

But, what made Isaac surprised was that the book also talked about the third thing. Intelligence.

Book said that don't expect to be able to beat your enemies with brute strength alone. Intelligence and trickery are an important part of defeating your enemy.

Isaac looked fascinated— he agrees with everything— he would have died many times without being cunning.

Soon, he finished reading it as well.

''What do you think?'' Krystal said and closed his book. He had a calm smile on his face as he looked at Isaac's excited face.

''I have now wider knowledge about everything. Thank you.'' Isaac stood up and bowed.

Krystal chuckled and waved his hand, ''Don't mention it. I know that you will find the best ways to utilize these tactics.''

Isaac nodded firmly, ''I won't disappoint you.''

Krystal chuckled— he stood and patted his shoulder, ''Farewell, Good luck in your endeavors.''

Isaac watched as Krystal left. He only trained him for less than a day— he still learned a lot!

*Ding* *Ding*

A messages popped up in front of Isaac.
