Kill the Dragon

Inspector Lu was annoyed by Lee. A sticky type. It's not forced, but sticky to get what you want.

‘If the typeface is more rounded, it might be this person.... ’

This limit is as noticeable as the tide. When I was an orphan, I lived a damn meal. I am used to knowing how adults feel.

“I have my next training, so may I be excused? ”

Inspector Lou couldn't restrain the 13th squad any longer. He pulled out candy and chocolate from his pocket before he left. The arc boys live a controlled life. Especially sweet is always lacking. It was a bribe from Inspector Lou.

“Everyone eat one on the way. They're like my nieces, so I'm gonna give them to you one by one. ”

The 13th squad members' eyes sparkle. Lee observed the squad member.

‘If you refuse that bribe, you'll end up in a group Lynch in your lodge. ’

Lee Han nodded his head indescribably. He handed out candy and chocolate and moved on. The boys forgot candy and chocolate on the way.

“That inspector, maybe he's a good man. ”

Kuro said as he laughed at the candy. Lee smiled at Kuro.

‘Because he's like Kuro, he must have brought candy. ’

Sweetness makes people feel good. Releases vigilance.

“You don't have to talk to the inspector. Avoid face to face. Especially since Kuro gives you candy. Don't follow him around. ”

Lee said that and put lemon-flavored candy in his mouth. On the way to the gym, I encountered Dimitri's fifth squad.

“Did you guys meet with the inspector? ”

Dmitri said first.

“I just got shot at by the principal. Aren't you guys on a shooting schedule? ”

After this, Dmitri sighs.

“Damn, there's inspectors everywhere. They're all attached to the principal. I'm going crazy. I can't beat him. And what are you eating? ”

Dmitri finds the whole 13-minute squad in the mouth. As Kuro boasted, he pulled out a chocolate foil and replied.

“The inspector I just met gave it to me. ”

The 5th squadron rumbles and pushes Dmitri's back.

“Let's go! Squad Leader! We want candy too! ”

Dmitri is swayed by his squad. They go straight up to the shooting principal. Lee looked at the five squads that were getting away and went into the gym.

“Let's get started.”

Lee tried to ignore the inspector on the second floor of the gym. He grabs the weapon from the gym wall. There was a boy practicing on a wooden doll, and they fought amongst themselves.

“Kuro, you practice with me. ”

“Again?"

Kuro says no, but he grabs the spear. Ihan and Kuro face each other in the arena. Lee focused on training Kuro.

‘Until now, I thought that even if Kuro was vulnerable, I could replenish it with my squad members. I can't always protect Kuro in action. Average in all combat areas. ’

Lee learned a lot in the Whiskey Squad. I gained experience as Sergeant Red intended.

Exactly!

Lee took a step forward and swung the spear. Kuro is in a hurry to stop it. I did not intend to attack.

“Kuro, attack. ”

Lee said, quitting the attack. Kuro sweats. He closes his eyes and swings his spear.

Exactly!

Ihan drove Kuro's spear out. Kuro misses the spear.

“Open your eyes and attack. Squeeze the spear. ”

Melee warfare, such as weapons, is the most vulnerable part of Kuro. Lee let Kuro rest for a while.

‘It is said that the body is slow in the first grade, but all sophomores are much faster and stronger than normal people. It's not a physical problem, it's a mental problem. ’

Lee can't teach Kuro to the spiritual part. He called Jose. Jose tilts his head.

“Jose! I have to go back for a while. If you don't come back, you're next in line. ”

In the 13th squad, the implicit partial colon was José. It wasn't set aside, but everyone thought so. Although Knut was worthy of the subordinate commander, he was often in the hospital, so José was usually in the subordinate commander role.

Lee Han left Jose with an autonomous training and headed to the first-grade district. When he entered the first-grade district, there was a vibration on the handset. In principle, direct contact between grades is prohibited. Lee entered the first-grade district after writing down the purpose of the visit with a handset. He went to see Instructor Wei.

“Hhan? It's been a long time. ”

Instructor Wei, who was sitting in the Oval Office, recognized Lee when he grew up. He was busy with paperwork.

“If you're busy, I'll come back later. ”

“That's okay. You coming in person means it's kind of important. I'm taking a break, too.I have a lot of second-grade candidates to pick this time, but I'm short on manpower and a lot of paperwork to review. ”

Instructor Wei took Woolong's car out and handed it to Yihan. Lee Han winced at the bitter taste of oolong tea for the first time. Instructor Wei was glad that Lee was like a child. He was always the one who pitied the arc's children.

“Thank you. Tasty, delicious. ”

Lee smiled forcefully. Instructor Wei drank tea in an elegant and skillful manner. He took a moment to breathe and said,

“So, what's going on? You're in second grade now.”

“I came to ask you something. ”

“To me?"

Instructor Wei tilted his head. There was nothing more to teach Yihan about weapons technology. Lee Han had a natural sense and learned quickly. All that remains are hands-on experience and repetitive training. He was one of the best students he ever taught.

“Do you remember Kuro? ”

“I know. I didn't stand out in my class. Haha.”

Instructor Wei thought of Kuro.

“He's my squad now. Kuro doesn't have enough aggression. Be hesitant to attack your opponent. If we just let it go, we'll lose our lives for it someday. ”

“But Kuro used to beat a lot of kids from a deserted island with rocks. ”

“You can't always fight from afar. Practice doesn't always work the way it wants. ”

Instructor Wei narrows his eyes. Lee Han's expression was serious.

Tsk!

Instructor Wei tore a note and drew a picture. You draw a simple picture of a gun, a spear, and a bare hand.

“Ihan, humans have different psychological distances depending on the weapon they use. ”

“Psychological distance? ”

“It's my refusal to attack others. Even a trained soldier killing a man with his bare hands isn't easy. Usually I quit. On the contrary, ordinary civilians can easily kill people by remote control of the robot or by bombing. The less I feel like I'm attacking someone, the less difficult it is to observe them, the less psychological it is. ”

Lee didn't understand quickly. He dares to attack if he is judged to be an enemy, regardless of such weapon.

“Is that so?"

“Most people do. The longer the weapon, the easier it is to kill a person. The closer the weapon, the more psychologically resistant it is to killing people. Of course, our opponent is not human, but we can see that the same mechanism works. ”

“I think it would be easier to explain Kuro as an example. ”

Lee said shakily. Instructor Wei smiles lightly. Lee was pinning his head. I came to get advice and took a class.

“Kuro is sensitive and empathetic. Kind of like a girl. The more of a class like that, the more hesitant they are in a combat situation, the less likely they are to attack. On the contrary, violent men are aggressive, and they cut off empathy with each other and plagiarize. Kuro easily attacked other children in the uninhabited country with stones because it was not a melee war. The psychological burden of trusting you again. You see why our instructors tied you and Kuro up together? ”

“Is there no other way? ”

“I thought I'd get better by the time I got up to sophomore year, but it hasn't been easy yet. Usually when you get a strong body, it increases your aggression. You become accustomed to violence when you realize you're strong. You seem to be in a hurry. ”

“I like that about Kuro. But Eluna Werewolves won't take that into account. Kuro will also face his enemies with weapons. Small hesitations at that time will have big consequences. just like I did.”

“Don't worry too much about Sergeant Red. Given that mistake, they took you sophomore year. It's Sergeant Red's fault you didn't make the mistake you wanted to make. ”

Instructor Wei saw the regrets in Lee's eyes. Lee made a sacrifice and learned something. Even a perfect student doesn't make a perfect soldier right away. Lee will be tough through brutal battles and sacrifices in the future.

“I want to make Kuro more aggressive. At least as much as the other kids. ”

Instructor Wei has been thinking for a long time. Kuro is supposed to be expelled. However, because his talent was so great, a lot of cold food came from the meeting. Kuro picked it up only by looking at the possibilities of the future.

“A type like Kuro needs a trigger. It's cruel for a child to just kill something for an order. I need to realize it for myself. Until then, I have nothing but repetitive training to get used to. ”

Lee Han nodded. I got a better answer than thinking to myself.

“Thank you, sir. ”

Instructor Wei watched Lee leave. He forgot to organize the paperwork and got lost in thought.

‘There's only one way. But we can't do that unless we're human. ’

Instructor Wei recalled the past as a nightmare. It starts with a small animal. The little killing animals grew larger. Dog, pig, b-monkey. At the end, I had to strangle a defenseless human with my bare hands. After that, you become numb to violence. I don't hesitate to hurt others. The user even feels the target is not the same person, but just a piece of wood.

Instructor Wei was part of a cult called Pyeonghong Pyeong before becoming a Saiker. In the time of the war against dragons, all kinds of cults fought. The father, who was the end of the cult, was a fanatic and offered his son as an activist. Instructor Wei received inhuman training there. I lived in darkness until I became a sicker and was called by the state.

“It's just the past. ”

Instructor Wei drank an easy oolong tea.

Arc adheres to harsh training methods. Instructor Wei always disliked that. But at least in the Arc, they don't tell you to give up your humanity.
