I died and was reincarnated as Warship in a fantasy world

The next day after my training with the knights I decided to skip the classes again. Of course, Lilith was not too happy about it and considering how spineless I become when it concerns her, I attended some of the morning lessons.

“Miss Delight, why you don’t want to have a lunch together?” This time her puppy eyes did not shake my resolve.

“Lilith, do you not remember?”

“I understand that you have an appointment but why not spend some time with me until you have to go?” (L)

“Because I should be going now if I want to arrive in time.”

‘Sigh’

“But…” She was going to refute, yet the decision is the same.

“This discussion is over. If you are alone then you might go play with Charlotte. You two were having fun together, so why not?”

“As you say…” ‘Baka…’ Did she say something…?

---

I arrived to the training grounds a bit later than I planned. Judging by the instructor’s face he was not pleased.

“Repeat the exercises we did yesterday.” Instead of scolding me he just made me work out.

While I was busy I checked if I have anything new.

‘Ding’

‘You received 14 upgrade points, 4 silver coins, 40mm/56.3 Bofors STAAG Mk II (Replaces Medium AA), 14’’/50 Mk IX (Replaces MG)’

“I am done.”

“Who said you’re done?! CONTINUE.” (I)

“Yes sir!” I guess it is a bit too early to say I was not punished.

---

After I finished the warm-up the instructor called out to have some targets created.

“Use some smaller spells which can be used within short range.” The targets are human-sized so I guess this is the plan.

Bang Bang

Bang Bang

Bang Bang

“Just how can you miss from such a range?!” He was tearing his hair after seeing that only one shell hit a target. Well, my secondaries are not the most accurate weapons.

“Should I just fire the main guns?” He fervently shook his head after understanding what will be fired.

“Will this change if you are closer?” (I)

“No. Just accept that only a third hits the targets.”

“Fine… Set up a lot of targets!” A large group of targets appeared.

“Now, try attacking the targets with the stiletto but after a few seconds use the spells.” I leaped towards the targets.

‘Pierce Pierce Pierce’

Bang Bang Bu-bu-bu-bum

The results were quite satisfactory. A couple of targets were destroyed with the stiletto and a few were torn apart by the gunfire from point blank range.

“This is impressive but now you will be repeating this. Again and again and again…” (I)

---

Two hours later.

“This should do it. While you are sluggish to learn, you still made quite a lot of progress. You want to train a bit longer or try the next of my ideas?” (I)

“Go ahead, sir.”

“Good. Try attacking some targets in melee and the rest destroy from range. All should be done simultaneously.” Three groups of targets appeared.

Bang Ba-Bang

While I was piercing the targets in the first group I fired a few shells at another group. The results were predictably bad but I am still surprised to see that only one shot hit the target.

Bu-bu-bu-bu-bum Bu-bu-bu-bu-bum

As I fired a number of shots I noticed that only the first few shots are flying almost where I aimed but the following shots stray quite a lot from the aim. I guess the longer I fire, the more recoil affects my shots.

“Can I have some time trying a certain something…?” The instructor nodded.

“Can anybody make me a huge, super armored target?” Meanwhile, the gun barrels lowered.

The B turret had a jamming which was immediately solved but the X turret had more serious issues with hydro-electric system and is now offline.

BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BOOM

Instead of firing with delay I fired all shots in a fast broadside fashion. I was not amused to see that all of the shells flew in different directions. It is like if I hip-fired a fully automatic .50 machine gun.

“I guess we can try again that exercise.” The instructor nodded, even though he was quite dumbfounded.

After I applied my new knowledge, the results were better. Instead of firing rapidly, I fired single shots from cannons and short bursts from automatic weaponry.

“That should be it for today. I gave you some ideas of how to use your abilities. I hope one day you will remember me with a good word. If you want to train with the stiletto, find me. Farewell, Miss.” The instructor turned around and walked towards the sunset.

[Sunset…? Sunset… SUNSET?! I HAVE A MEETING SCHEDULED!]
