Kill the Dragon

The eighth training ground was a dense forest. Artificially constructed forests were tall enough to remind me of northern Europe. Smells of blue forest. Squads 9 and 13 stand at either end of the forest.

Bang!

The instructor fires his gun into the sky. Each squad started to act.

“Let's just get this over with. ”

Squad 9 was overconfident. He is the best marksman in the whole squad. I picked four of them, and I thought I couldn't lose.

“Explore at intervals. ”

Squad 9 has a formal mission. The four of them march forward in a row. They skillfully distributed their vision. It was impossible to avoid their eyes.

Jiaying.

The cameras hanging from the branches move. The camera twists its head slightly as the squad moves. All events are being transmitted in real time. The second graders are now looking at the ninth and 13th squads. No sophomore will miss a new squad match. This is an opportunity to learn about the features and combat strength of the 13th squad.

“The 13th doesn't move, does it? ”

“Are you going to defend yourself at the beginning? ”

The second graders gave a loud shout. The actions of the ninth and 13th squads on the screen were extreme and dramatic. The ninth squads moved forward as they searched regularly. The 13th squads were looking around the trees. Squad Leader Lee Han searched for the right tree.

‘We can't win a gunfight anyway. We can't turn that train upside down with a fucked-up plan. ’

Lee had been thinking about going up to the tree and ambushing him, pretending to be an ambush, and a lot of other operations.

‘Shooting from trees is too much for us who are not skilled. Not to mention the disguise. Sometimes irregularities are better than obscene formalities. ’

Lee found a tree of the right size. He looks at Kuro.

“Kuro, can you do this much? You can't be smaller than this. Should be enough to cover our bodies. ”

“I'll try. ”

“Kuro doesn't have to shoot. Focus here, Jose. Let's get started."

Jose nods. His eyes flush. Psychic expression is essentially blue, but varies depending on the individual's disposition or characteristics. The color changes with imagination based on your abilities. The bulk of the combustibles have a red psychic color.

Aaaaah!

Jose burned the base of the tree. His face was sweating. I adjusted my firing range while exerting my concentration to its limit. Narrow range, strong firepower. It was a difficult psychic control.

“Slow down. It's okay. Jose.”

Lee said calmly.

‘Time is of the essence, but psychokinesis is important. The more you get distracted, the harder it is to concentrate. ’

“And Knut goes out first and looks into the company of the enemy. Do not engage if you find out. ”

Knut nods and runs away. Knut's footsteps were swift, even in the forest.

“Ha, ha. ”

I sweated on Jose's face. The smell of burning wood and smoke rose. José sat down for a moment and rested.

“That's enough. ”

Lee ran and hit the tree. The burning tree shakes.

‘Damn, there's still wick left. But Jose was tired. If you work too hard here, you'll fall before the battle. ’

Kuro, who was watching, put his palm on the tree. Ihan watched Kuro.

“Hahn, let me try. ”

Boom, boom.

Kuro's burnt base is concentrated. You hear the cracking of the tree trunk.

Gooooo!

“One, two, three, push. ”

Lee Han nodded.

“One, two, three. ”

Lee ran and pushed the tree. I pushed down on the tree as hard as I could with Kuro.

Kwajijijik!

A large, broad tree collapsed.

“Huff, huff. ”

The exhausted squad, including Lee Han, leaned against the fallen tree. They gasp.

“You lost all your strength before the fight. ”

“Let's take a break and get moving. ”

“Kuro, do you have time? ”

“Just a little rest and you'll be fine. ”

Lee examined Kuro's condition. The point of the operation was Kuro.

‘Kuro should have saved his strength, but he wasted his psychic energy. ’

Things don't always go as planned. Lee chose to breathe. A message appeared on the handset because I was afraid to sit down and relax.

- Enemy approaching 200 meters ahead. I'll join you.

It was Knut's message. Lee smiles bitterly. Everyone on the squad got up because they knew the situation.

“I don't have time to rest. Get ready now."

Ta-ang!

A gunshot strikes through the forest. The shooting continues in a row. You hear a short shout. Knut groans and runs on one leg. He's got a bullet in his leg. There is no lethal force or penetration, but the electric shock paralyzes Knut's leg.

“Damn it.”

Knut runs through the pain.

‘It's unusual. You hit me on that street. ’

The ninth squad is veteran. They hit fast moving Knut. They drive you as if you were hunting Knut.

“Huff, huff. Too late.”

Knut considers it difficult to join his squad.

‘Even if you join, this bridge will interfere. It's better to run in a different direction and buy time. ’

Knut runs to the other side of the rendezvous. He reported the situation to Lee Han.

Ta-ang!

You hear gunfire approaching. There was a spark on the tree next to you.

“Damn it.”

Knut turns his torso and shoots. It doesn't fit in an unstable position. The ninth squad laughs as they hide in the trees.

“You don't have to cover for me. It's a lousy shot.”

Knut was a good marksman, but it's a story from the shooting range. Targeting moving targets in action is a completely different story. Knut felt the difference. The 9th and 13th squads had different experience points.

‘At least one of us needs to get hurt. ’

Knut fires his gun. He sharpens the magazine. Nine squadrons rush out of the gap.

“Farewell. ”

Nine squads fired a single shot. The bullet hits you just as it hits Knute. Knute's body shakes violently. He couldn't even speak properly because of the electrical impulses. He twitches like a seizure. Knut was incapable of battle.

“I got one. There's only three left. ”

“Why is there only one person in front of us? There's only four of us, and we need to use the first bottle. This fight is gonna end in all-out war anyway. ”

The ninth squad takes a breather as they bend the helmet shield. They wonder. The 13th squad loses valuable power by sending out a first squad. Ten combatants are 1/10, but one in four is 1/4. It's a fatal loss. We didn't have to risk it for a four-to-four reconnaissance.

“It was just an awkward strategy. ”

The ninth squad members line up as they lower the helmet shield. They find the 13th squad and go down.

Lee received Knut's last report. The report was unresponsive.

“Let's get started. Knut's down. Last time I bought myself time. ”

Lee had a good understanding of the situation just by making a short report and taking action on Knut.

‘You must have been injured. You'd think it'd be better to turn around and buy some time than join us. Knute should have been able to make this judgment. ’

If he was just a command focused type, he would have tried to join the herd. If so, the entire squad could be in danger. Knut is the type to think and judge for himself.

“A break from Knut. It's time for revenge. ”

Jose and Kuro looked better. Kuro slowly started his psychic abilities. The cut log is dragged to the ground. The camera was still filming the scene.

“What the hell is that? ”

“I cut down the log. ”

“No way... ”

The second graders were talking about watching the contest video in holograms. Survivors often use features to shoot at their opponents.

“A shield.”

“Maybe it's because it's Kuro. ”

“Better that than Kuro, who's bad at fighting. ”

The instructors analyzed the situation and said. It was a survival tactic they had never seen before. Survival is the most formal and contemporary of all competitions. There is little room for psychic intervention in front of a overwhelming weapon called a gun.

“I encountered Squad 9! ”

Someone shouts. Nine and thirteen squads clash at the hologram. It was within range of the shooting.

“Kuro-!"

Ihan shouts. Kuro clenches his fist. The log rises and covers the front. A spark forms as the bullet hits the log.

“What's that? ”

The ninth squad panics. A log covers the 13th squad. The moving shields move cleverly. The 13th squad lowers and moves with the log. I only held out my head once on a log to examine the situation. Even the best nine-squad members couldn't fit through there.

‘No one will be psychic because they chose 4 people based on their marksmanship. ’

He mutters. There was no one in the ninth squad who would interfere with Kuro's mobility. We could stop them if all four were active, but then all four would be defenseless.

“Damn it, hide in the trees. We have cover anyway. Slow down. Slow down. I'm tired of those bikers someday. ”

The ninth squad halts firing and hides behind the tree. Yihan stabbed José in the side.

“Jose, go ahead. ”

José's eyes turned red. The bush burns. The ninth squad light a fire near the bunker.

“Not with this kind of flame... ”

The ninth squad member shuts up while speaking. The fire was not the problem. The smoke is blocking my view. I can't see where the 13th squad is.

“Move!”

Nine squad members have escaped the smoke. Lee was quickly approached by clearing the view of the smoke.

Bang!

Lee Hwan shot a nine-squad member who had escaped the smoke without hesitation. One man falls without screaming. The remaining nine squadrons are three. They looked at this and cried out.

“There's one! Shoot!”

Lee Han rolled to the ground. He hides behind the tree.

“Ho-see!”

Lee Hwan shouted loudly. Jose lit another fire and made a grey smoke screen. Only then did the ninth-graders, as well as the teachers who were watching, notice the schemes of the 13th.

‘I see. Kuro and Jose had no intention of shooting from the start. It's literally a support role. It's just Ihan and Knut fighting. I'm alone because Knut was beaten, but in that situation... ’

Lee takes a breath. The ninth squad members are trapped in smoke and logs. The only way for them to get rid of it first is to attack Kuro and Jose.

Unemployed.

The ninth squad members panic. The branches of the trees they're hiding are broken for no reason. It was Kuro. Kuro hid in the log and broke only the branches of the tree where the ninth squad hid.

‘There it is.'

Lee Han's ears were crooked. Due to smoke, the field of view is sealed against each other. Kuro, who had escaped from the choir, told Lee that he was breaking the branches of the ninth squad at the very least.

‘I'm guessing, but I have the advantage of knowing the direction. Besides, with this kind of stunt, nine-squad marksmanship is useless. ’

Lee carefully checked the location of the trees before the smoke rose. He moves on the battlefield map in his head. He moves to the side of squad nine and pulls the trigger.

“Cock!”

You hear a short scream. Lee fired a shot into the area and emptied out all the magazines. There was swearing in the smoke.

“Huff, puff. ”

Lee calmly took a breath.

‘We need to get out of the smoke. ’

There were only two members left in the ninth squad. I found that fighting in the smoke is disadvantageous. They decided that even if they took a bit of a risk, they needed to get out of here and take their place.

Nod.

The ninth squad nods, face to face. They run fast. Their bodies were exposed to the smoke. However, I didn't see them because Lee was still in the smoke.

“Well done. Friends.”

Jose smiles and shoots. Jose was able to shoot because he had already smoked enough. He waits for the ninth squad to come out. Nine minutes out of the smoke were exposed to Jose's shooting. A bullet protrudes from Jose's gun.

“Khh.”

“Haha, my marksmanship is terrible. ”

Jose mutters and hides behind the log. The ninth squad members stop hurting. They were shot in the arm and leg. I crawled to my remaining limbs and barely covered myself.

“Kuro, please. ”

After escaping the stagecoach, Lee hid behind a log that had been laid down. He approaches the escaped nine-squad members. Lee did not let his guard down until the end. He hides his body thoroughly and shoots a nine-squad member with just a gun.

“Tsk, shame on you! ”

A nine-squad member spits out his words and falls into a convulsion. The other one withdrew knowing that there was no chance.

- 13th Squad wins.

A message appeared as the handset rang.

“I won!”

Kuro sits down and shouts. He looks exhausted. According to his fatigue, Kuro is the most physically drained. It was unusual to lift a large log for an extended period of time.

“Kuro, well done. ”

Lee Han, whose face was scorched, said. He takes out a bucket of water and drinks it. I rinsed my mouth because of the thick smoke.

“I think my head is empty. I couldn't tell you any weirder. ”

Kuro said, taking a bucket from Ihan.

“We won! You guys, are you watching me? ”

Jose flies a stop, looking at the camera. The second graders beyond the camera were a variety of reactions. Some were funny, some were angry. Some say the 13th squad is cowards.

“That's a dirty move, in a way. ”

“The way I see it, it's lethal. It's lethal. There is no place like the battlefield where means are justified in the face of victory. ”

“That's right. ”

The Watched Instructors smile at the delightful battle. The 13th squad's methods were disparate, but there were no rule violations.

“But there's a guy named Ihan. Quite the poison. Even under the most certain conditions of victory, I ended up carelessly. ”

“He's an incapable opponent, but he hides in a log, pulls out his gun and talks. ”

“The body is like that, but when you think about real age, it gives you goosebumps. ”

The instructors nodded, agreeing. 13th Squad Leader Lee Han began to get the attention of the second-grade instructors.
