With a almost silent soft spoken voice, Valeria mutters, "Mockingbird..."

Pointing at a bird that has landed on her outstretched hand before flying away.

With sawa and greta busy dissing each other's chosen name off, both of me and franke turn to look at Valeria then back to each others.

"Mockingbird does sound nice, though im not sure if its already taken. But I feel like this fits us for some reason." As I nod along with Anastasia, while franke thinks for a bit before nodding then stepping in to interrupt sawa and greta once more.

"Alright! Mockingbird bird it is! Franke could you please write that down on the paper?" As I turn to look at sawa and greta. "It's was Valeria's Idea, Not mine and I'd say it fits our squad."

"Mockingbird huh? Well its much better than the tacky golden whatever sawa wanted so im in!" As greta shrugs, while getting a glare from sawa.

"it's Golden Coin! And it is NOT tacky! But fine! Mockingbird is fine too i guess."

With franke nodding and writing it down on the paper before handing it to me, she then looks at the group muttering to herself, "mhm! With everyone so lively and different is feel like we would make a great team!"

After a while of talking to each other, and stopping a few more arguments between greta and sawa, a whistle gets blown getting the whole class's attention.

"Alright ladies! Ive given you all enough time to talk to yourselfs and decide a leader and your team name. There's 8 teams in this class, and I want all of the leaders to hand me the list of your team, leader and its name now! So I can get to explaining what we are doing next!" As iosifin then scans the somewhat scattered teams of six around the field.

And after collecting the 8 prices of paper she then blows on her whistle again, "alright ladies! This is how today's field activity will go, behind me by the firing stations on the range are standardized training rounds for everybody. I trust that you all should know how to rearm yourselfs right? and if not then ask your teammates so I won't bother explaining that."

As she then steps down the crate she was standing on, "now where was i, oh yeah. Today's activity is going to be accuracy training. Since this is the first time most of you will be shooting and using your gears the scores will be lowered so make sure you keep at it."

As she then walks towards one of the firing ranges shooting spot and loads her attire with a few shells before firing it down range and hitting a target 700 meters away repeatedly.

"Your goal, is to shoot at the targets at 300 meters, 500 meters and 700 meters. You all get five free testing shots, and another five shots for your scores. Each target is painted with rings on them, the closer to the center the more score you will get, miss and you won't get anything. Did I make myself clear?"

Everyone: "yes ma'am!"

Nodding before stepping out of the shooting spot then pointing to the rest of the spots, "alright good! There's only enough room for 4 squads each so each of you will take turns practicing then being graded. Call me over once everyone in your team has finished firing their first ranging shots and is ready to be scored! Teams one to four! Your up first!"

And with another blow of the whistle, the groups quickly heads to each shooting booth, while the rest of the teams watch and talk upon themselfs with iosifin occasionally scanning around to make sure nothing goes wrong.

With the first four groups now in the booths, our team goes back to talking to each other.

With greta asking everyone what's their experience with their gears,"alright, so what's everyone's experience with your attires? Since for me I've done a few training shots with mine before I got here and I am confident that I can nail that 500 meter target dead on."

"I've done a few practice shots myself aswell, but my gun isn't really built for range so im not sure if i can hit all of the shots in the 700 meter target." As with a sigh sawa shrugs as the taps the gum barrel on her gear.

"O-oh um... I did shoot a few test shots when I was fitted with the gear to see if it was working properly but uh... I dont think Im going to be able to hit anything... sorry... this is still all so new to me." Clutching her cannon close to her chest, franke slightly frowns knowing that she has no experience with alot of things.

Meanwhile Valeria nods in softly mutters, "im good..."

With everyone now done saying their part, I could only continue with Anastasia being by Valeria, she would be up next in the circle.

"I've had plenty of experience shooting another weapon, but with this other than the training shots of verifying that the gear is working. Nothing else but I am confident that I can hit all three somewhat accurately." Crossing my arms as I say so, before continuing with johan.

Shrugging before i speak with johan.

"Unlike my sister, I have no experience with shooting, and other than the same training shots to verify that the gear was working, I have no actual experience with shooting anything else other than I suppose pistols."

With everyone's attire experiences fully laid out, greta shrugs.

"Surely there's like, different scoring per gear class right? It wouldn't be fair if it wasn't so I think we will all do fine. And franke. Don't worry everyone has their first times. Look at leader bro here! I think he is the first manmaiden I've ever seen! Hahaha!"
