Kill the Dragon

“There are survivors in uninhabited radioactive contamination zones or remote areas. Apart from being a Cyclist, one of Arc's other missions is to defeat the minions. Anyway, listen to the detailed explanation later, and gather after 03: 00 from now on. You will be guided by Silence and equipped. ”

Sergeant Red looks at Silence. Silence slapped Ihan and Simon on the shoulder.

- Come with me.

Lee Han and Simon look at each other and follow Silence. Silence leads them to the armory. Arc's engineers are busy moving. You hear machines spinning all over the place.

“Silence, who are those two? You haven't heard from the new guy. ”

The oily technician said. Silence answered with an electronic note.

Second graders, gear up.

“Really? Come with me. ”

The technicians called Ihan and Simon. He points to the weapons on display in the armory.

“A standard dragon weapon. Catch it and take what you like. There's a serial number, so be sure to write it down and return it. ”

The weapons made of dragon bones were ivory. It was clear and not cloudy, so my face was glowing. Even one piece of art was not excessive. A practical and simple design without embellishment, but with charm.

Twitch.

Lee had a good spear to swing. The grip is tingling. It feels like static electricity is working. Psychic energy surrounds you from the ivory spear.

“Materials like dragon bones and leather have the properties of sucking out psychic energy. That's why the dragon's psychic energy is infinite. It's supposedly a structure that absorbs psychic energy and stores it in the heart. ”

The technician didn't even ask, but he uttered the phrase.

“Is this enough to break through some kind of psychic shield? ”

Lee asked.

“Theoretically, yes. Psychic energy is the energy of the mind. When hostile Psychic Energy is hit, there is a rapid neutralization reaction. That's why the dragon can only be hit by a sicker. Only a sicker can plant a weapon in that instant. ”

While Lee was asking questions, Simon grabbed a knife like that. The technician wrote down the weapon serial number and the user's name on the document.

“R-2 uses supplies. Two airbeats is standard. Do you need more? Well, you don't have to. Let's see... ”

The technician took out a bunch of equipment. It weighed nearly 20 kilograms.

Aaaaah!

Lee Han wore an underwarmor wrapped around his chest. The technician pulls back the strap, and the underwarmor closest to the chest without any empty space. It is lightweight and thin, but increases survival with bayonet and impact relief.

“This is suffocating. ”

“You'll get used to it. ”

The technician pulls the rope even harder, ignoring his grumbling. As the technician said, I quickly became accustomed to the uncomfortable foreign body. Rather, I felt confident. The helmet that wrapped around his head was surprisingly light.

Weeing.

As the helmet shield closed, various information appeared outside the field of view. It was an interface I had seen a lot.

"It's tied to the bracelet. ’

I thought the equipment I used in the second grade was cutting-edge, but the equipment I used in practice was beyond my wildest imagination. Materials are light and durable. Equipment was not ergonomically designed and felt uneventful.

Weeing.

Silence came out of the locker room wearing equipment. He wore a Zachman helmet instead of his usual skull mask. It was still a full-face type that completely covered its face. In the helmet shield, letters and emoticons flowed out like a light panel.

“You've never seen it before? A helmet for Silence only. You know, he can't talk. With a simple macro input using a handset, rapid expression and communication are displayed on the helmet shield. It's like a robot with a monitor face from a movie, right? ”

In the helmet shield of Silence being tested, all the letters and emoticons passed in unison.

“That's... pretty cute. It's printed.”

Yihan mutters, the emoticons used by the arc boys on the network. Sharp silences made me strangely awkward, enjoying my black clothes and wearing those emoticons.

Whirlyric!

After completing the helmet test, Silence captures his beloved twin swords. The blade was narrower than the standard and about two inches longer. I thought I could handle it so long, but Silence wields his blade. It was almost an art form.

‘It's nimble. I can't believe I beat that guy. ’

In practice, there are numerous variables and coincidences. It is in the game that a stronger person wins on data. Lee did not miss the variables and coincidences, and only led to his victory.

“I wish my knife was lighter than this. Like Silence, if you narrow it down, but the length stays the same and you lose weight... ”

Simon approaches the technician and says, He swung his sword a few times and didn't seem to like it.

“Apply when you're in third grade. Baby, dragon weapons aren't made every day of the night. ”

The technician threw Simon out in one fell swoop. Simon picks up his knife, snoring.

“You don't need that. ”

Lee looked at the sloth Simon. Even in his early days, Simon was always arrogant and proud. But it was as sure as I could. It is a guaranteed card to be used with trust.

‘Simon had a hard time even in the race. ’

Occasionally, a talented talent can perform tactical skills. Simon was like that. Squad Combat Strength is not a Squad Combat Strength, it has the ability to subdue Squad. It can rarely be used as a free material in combat during sophomore year.

Pirick.

Silence's helmet flashes. Text appeared on the front of the helmet shield.

- Let's go.

Lee looked at the full-length mirror on the wall as he walked. A fully armed soldier stands. It's not the same as when you were relentlessly headed for a dimensional rift. I remembered the dead sophomores. The arc boys had a bond between them. I had never properly spoken to them, but Lee would have become involved in giving their lives to each other when the time came. Deep bond and belonging. A little anger from him. A sense of vengeance.

‘This time, our side will attack. ’

Sergeant Red called Lee Han separately before initiating the operation. Not only that, Silence and Simon had separate interviews. Lee Han entered the room the last time. Sergeant Red is in a smoky room. It smells pungent. In the corner of the ceiling, the ventilator turns.

“Why did you put me on this mission? ”

Lee said as if he was playing first. Sergeant Red smiles.

“Why do you think? ”

“I'm not proud of it, but I'm an excellent sophomore. But I don't think there's anyone in third grade better than me. I don't think there's any reason to include me in terms of power up. ”

Lee said what he thought. Sergeant Red nods.

‘It is also a calm analysis. ’

Sergeant Red looked at Lee Hwan. The second graders who survived in the rift zone, especially the squad leaders, have mostly suffered from psychological sequelae. However, Lee Han's squad members survived and recovered quickly to their daily routine. Everyone knows how great it is to have experienced the battlefield.

Humans are not machines. When placed in an abnormal environment called a battlefield, Humans will collapse one day. There is only a difference between training and mental status.

"You're a monster. You're like a worn veteran." ’

Calm judgment and excellent combat accident. Red thought that if there was a fighting machine, it would be similar to this one.

Sergeant Red once suspected Lee was a psychopath. Psychopathic tests and experiments did not reveal a psychopath, but an intelligent psychopath may have intentionally avoided it. His combat skills and achievements were in line with his "natural killer and soldier," i.e. psychopathic tendencies. I felt cold and calm about defining and exterminating my enemies. There are no weaknesses in combat where sentimental humans can be seen.

‘But a psychopath does not become a respected commander. ’

The responsibility of taking care of orphans is Kuro's mental leadership, and he has an attitude towards the personality rather than seeing his squad as tools. There is always a strong self that does not hold others accountable. It is not possible for psychopaths with poor empathy.

Sergeant Red had entrusted mental emotions to external experts with his records and data.

‘It was supposed to be compassionate and caring. I tend to value people around me very much. I'm used to having a heavy responsibility, and I have an obsessive-compulsive aspect of losing my family or relatives in the past. It blocks emotional empathy and takes an exclusive stance on those who have defined it as an enemy. He has a strong conscience about protecting himself and his group from outside enemies. ’

Sergeant Red looked into this. What Lee needs is no longer training. It's a practical experience.

“This operation is not a punitive war. Better situational judgment is more important than individual combat skills. You have insight and judgment. Any more questions? ”

“Nothing.”

“In total combat strength, Silence and Simon outrank you. What your team is asking of you is not your full combat skills, but your judgmental ability to analyze situations. You understand what role sharing means, don't you? ”

“I understand.”

Lee bowed and left the room. In a short interview, Lee learned a lot of information.

‘Sergeant Red aims to expedite the practical experience for me and Simon. I added some reasons, but the most important reason is the actual experience. You must have the Silence to compensate for your lack of squadron combat skills. ’

Silence has a short-term teleportation - the ability to blink. A terrifying ability for less-intelligent minions. The werewolves don't stand a chance against Silence's Blink, and Pickup goes down in a strike.

Lee took a short nap for the remaining time. I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes, and woke up to the alarm on the handset.

Whoo-hoo!

You hear the transporter engines. Lee Han recalled an unpleasant memory when he saw the aircraft. It reminded me of the sophomores who blew up the plane. Lee closed his eyes for a moment and focused his mind. He opens his eyes and boards the transport.

In the corner of the Hangar, you can see Black Crow painted in black. There are only four supercollectors in the world. Despite the cost of drying, there have been several discarding administrative costs, but operating at the end of a tight budget, given the nature of the arc that requires global mobility. Three were on missions and one was being serviced.

Radio contact with the tower has been repeated in the cockpit. The Whiskey Squad is on the bench. Sergeant Red begins Operation Briefing.

“The mission is called Catchingwizard. This squad sneaks into the crack zone and captures Elu Meiji by taking down the aircraft. The command line is in the following order: me, Yihan, Simon, Silence. ”

Silence has excellent combat skills, but poor communication. The inability to speak is too much for him to lead. He is a second-grade squadron commander, and he is naturally the second commanding officer with experience in practice.

“It drops about 8 kilometers away from the target area and travels. Elu Meiji has a number of psychic abilities that we call feature, and one of the main ones is teleporting. If we don't defeat them immediately, we have a good chance of escaping to Teleport. ”

The higher the transport, the heavier the atmosphere. Simon and Ihan were not the humorous type, nor were they close enough to make jokes about each other.

Shut up, shut up.

- Don't freak out, kiddies.

Silence tapped the handset. The text flashes in his helmet shield. Silence is a veteran with a significant number of missions in the third grade. He is one of the oldest students in the arc.

“Around Elu Meiji is the Escort Elu Warrior. If there is anything lacking in this knowledge, learn from the handset. ”

Lee Han and Simon turned on the hologram of the bracelet terminal. Elu Meiji and the Warrior have been informed. Lee already knew, but I learned again. The Elu Warrior, like the Hunter, has minimal psychic abilities.

‘Even if it is minor, it is an agitated psychic ability. The only thing we got ahead of us is good equipment. ’

Elu societies are speculated to be a society that has been graded from birth to natural psychic abilities. High powered Elu belongs to a high rank. Diseases are also categorized according to their ranks. In the Arc, the Elu tribes were given different names.

“We're here.”

The pilot says the transport has landed in a large clearing. The gas shifts and shakes.

“Silence takes the lead, me, Simon, Ehan. Border is 12: 7, 3: 00, 6: 00 on the transport rear. Then, the search form is in a single group, and the order is the same. Clear view ahead, left, right, rear. ”

Silence opens the hatch first and lowers. He takes his place and takes precautions. Then Sergeant Red leaps out. The squadron takes off in an orderly fashion. The hot heat ambushes the squad.

- Good luck, Whiskey-1.

At the end of the last radio, the aircraft leaves.
