The exercise was meant to be symbolic — a historical reenactment of the past, polished by modern understanding. Then the human showed up with a Y-shaped stick, a strip of rubber, and a handful of metal bearings. No glow. No hum. Just wood, tension, and confidence. The instructor smirked. “That’s… quaint. A child’s toy, is it not?” The human grinned. “Depends on who’s holding it.” When testing began, the alien cadets activated guided projectiles that curved perfectly toward stationary targets. The human waited, scanning the far end of the hall — where the instructor’s personal observation drone hovered, recording the exercise. He pulled back the rubber band, sighted without a visor, and released. The bearing cut through the air faster than sensors could register. One sound. One spark. The drone dropped, smoking. The class froze. The instructor blinked, stunned. “You… intended that?” The human shrugged. “In my world, we learned to hit what moves, not what waits.” Silence followed — the kind that comes when a room full of advanced species remembers that on Earth, the Stone Age never really ended. #scifi #hfy #scifistories #scifishorts #sciencefiction
