Mercenary's War-Chapter 2130 - 2107: Test

The only thing that’s not too important but still somewhat interesting now is to see what Yuri is actually suited for.

A person who is significantly different from the average is bound to draw attention. For instance, Yuri with his particularly large build attracted a lot of people’s attention, not just Satan’s people, but also others like Ludwig and Li Qiu were all drawn by the sudden appearance of Yuri.

By the time Gao Yang bid farewell to Yarebin and arrived at the training ground, a circle of people had already gathered.

"Big guy, let’s have a spar, show me what you’ve got. Don’t just grow big and act like a sissy, come on, throw a few punches with me."

No need to look, Gao Yang already knew it was Big Mister Ludwig taunting, a guy who would provoke anyone he met. Since suffering a loss at the hands of Li Jinfang, Ludwig had been more restrained around Satan’s people, but after so long, Ludwig was back to his old habits.

Ludwig was also a towering figure, over six feet tall and weighing over 200 pounds, but compared to Yuri, he was noticeably smaller. Yet standing in front of Yuri, Ludwig was full of excitement.

Yuri’s nature is actually quite calm. Though he has a large build, he doesn’t have a fiery temper. Faced with Ludwig’s provocation, he was at a loss and just looked at Glolov beside him.

Gao Yang initially planned to stop Ludwig, but seeing Yuri’s reaction, he changed his mind.

Yuri’s nature is somewhat soft, which is really not a good thing for a mercenary.

Seeing no one speaking up around him, Yuri hesitantly said: "I’m not very good at fighting, I think you’ve found the wrong person."

Ludwig is not someone who stops when he’s ahead. He only pushes further. Seeing Yuri’s reaction, Ludwig had a smug look on his face, clenching his fist and saying: "Kid, listen up, as a mercenary, if you don’t know how to hit, at least you have to learn how to take a hit. This is called an over-the-shoulder throw!"

Ludwig suddenly lunged forward, grabbed one of Yuri’s arms, then swiftly turned and pulled Yuri’s arm forward. He intended to throw Yuri, but although Yuri was unprepared and indeed got moved by him, he wasn’t thrown. Instead, he directly landed on Ludwig’s back.

Failing to throw Yuri, Ludwig was a bit surprised. He tried to forcefully throw forward again, but by then Yuri had already grabbed him by the neck with his other hand.

If he can’t be thrown, there’s nothing else to do about it.

Ludwig turned around, hooked his foot and pushed with both hands, and the towering Yuri immediately fell hard on the ground.

Ludwig clapped his hands, looking disdainful and said: "A big size for nothing, kid you’re too weak."

Yuri’s face was red, breathing heavily as he struggled to stand up, angrily saying: "You’re going too far!"

Yuri was angry, making a stance as if ready to wrestle, but Ludwig just laughed heartily and said: "You’re too green, go practice and come find me again. I never clash with sissies."

"Enough."

Gao Yang yelled from outside the crowd and then walked in, saying to Yuri: "You do need some practice. Train well and beat him later, or else you’ll only get beaten really badly now."

Li Jinfang, standing at the side, said: "Big Mister, what you did just now wasn’t an over-the-shoulder throw, Yuri, let me teach you. In a few days, you’ll be able to throw him down, with an over-the-shoulder throw."

Ludwig had no choice but to respect Li Jinfang, too scared of getting beaten.

With an embarrassed wave, Ludwig didn’t dare boast anymore. He feared Li Jinfang challenging him, for accepting a challenge meant getting beaten, and refusing was disgraceful, so staying quiet was better.

Gao Yang looked around and loudly said: "Where to start, let’s start with the assistant machine gunner, give him a full set of single-soldier gear, and also two thousand machine gun bullets."

The necessary items arrived quickly, but the backpack was too small, the bulletproof vest was too tight, and the helmet was a bit small. Yuri looked helplessly and said: "I can’t wear them."

Gao Yang waved his hand and said: "Then just figure out a way to carry everything and start running."

The backpack slung over one shoulder, the bulletproof vest left open, Yuri carried a bag of ammo belts in his left hand, a rifle and a machine gun in his right, looking absolutely encumbered.

Gao Yang looked at his watch and suddenly said: "Run! Full speed sprint!"

Yuri started slowly, but once he got moving, his speed wasn’t slow, thanks to his long legs. Even with all that gear, he ran pretty fast.

Seeing Yuri’s speed significantly drop after a while, Gao Yang shouted: "Jog!"

Fast, slow, slow, and fast running, after running like this for a while, Gao Yang nodded and said: "Good physical condition."

Li Jinfang shook his head and said: "Not good, still needs practice, it’s not up to par yet, not even a bit of technique."

Peter suddenly said: "But he’s got a good foundation, easy to train up. Now we should see his reaction speed, running speed isn’t very important, but if the reactions are too slow, that’s not good."

Gao Yang laughed and said: "You guys test it out, I don’t know how to do it."

Glolov urgently said: "No, see if he can be an assistant gunner first, Yuri, come back."

After calling Yuri back, Glolov took back the machine gun from him, rapidly swapped the barrel, and said to Yuri: "Did you get that?"

Breathing heavily, he said loudly: "Yes, yes I got it."

"Good, do it, as fast as you can."

Yuri put down the other items, picked up the machine gun, and though slow, he successfully swapped the barrel. Glolov said: "Move faster, do it quicker."

Although much slower compared to the familiar skill of Glolov, Yuri’s speed as a beginner wasn’t bad at all, at least it passed.

After watching for a while, Glolov said satisfied: "Alright, no problem at all, definitely could be an assistant gunner."

Peter nodded towards Gao Yang beside him and whispered: "His reaction speed is fine, his hands are not slow, seems like he’s just slow in nature, not in his head."

Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "That’s good, I was afraid he couldn’t do anything quickly. Since he’s within a normal range, I’m relieved."

Peter laughed and suddenly said: "Give him to me, let me train him. In a month, I guarantee he can haul Big Mister and throw him."

Li Jinfang said: "You’re going to teach him?"

Peter replied: "That’s right, I’ll teach him. Your skills don’t suit him, they’re too varied. I’ll teach him some simple and practical ones. Big guys always have an advantage, and it won’t be long before he can get revenge on Big Mister."

Gao Yang laughed: "Have Big Dog teach him how to use a machine gun, and Peter, teach him the basic skills of a soldier. The most important thing, combat—I’m waiting to see him get Big Mister back."
