After emptying mag after mag, gun after a gun, Sophie finally felt satisfied. Putting down the gun she was holding she took off the headset and rolling her head from side to side, she let out a sigh.

Humming to the song that was on right now, Sophie made her way to the mannequin. Inspecting her own work she admired all the bullets that were stuck to the outside of the suit. Taking off, more like ripping off; couple of bullets, Sophie putted them into her jacket's pocket.

"For later inspection." She murmured humbly to herself.

Opening the jacket of the suit, she checked if bullets have gone through the fabric. Fishing out a small magnifying glass from the other pocket of hers, Sophie looked at the bullets one more time.

Next second the music stopped and a voice said:

"Richards. How's testing going?"

"Shit!" she yelped and dropped the magnifying glass. Quickly leaning down and trying to catch it while it was rolling around on the floor, made her look like a deer caught in the headlights. Straightening she saw Merlin and stood straight as a soldier. This was a second reason why she didn't want to be a Kingsman. She didn't have a grace to be one.

"Fall out, Richards. You are not a trainee." Merlin said. She stood normally while the only sound in the otherwise empty shooting range was sound of girl's magnifying glass as it finally clattered to a stop.

"Pick it up, will you?" Merlin said as his eyes dropped to the object on the floor.

"Yes, sir." Sophie scrambled to retrieve her magnifying glass.

"I need you to prepare regulation clothes for trainees. Understood?" Merlin said as she stood back up.

"Yes, sir." Sophie answered and quickly started pulling off the suit from the mannequin.

"Now, Richards." Merlin rolled his eyes.

"Of course, sir. ... I can come back later for this..." Sophie left the half of a jacket loosely dangle on the mannequin.

Making her way past Kingsman, she stopped and looked at him.

"Where should I put them, sir?" she asked.

"Measurements are sent to your desktop. Put them in their quarters accordingly to the numbers." Merlin explained and walked passed her.

"Yes, sir." Sophie mumbled and fallowed him out the doors.
