Kill the Dragon

00049 # 8 Inspection

Kuro, the fourth simulated battlefield, touches the gun with anxious eyes. Lee Han formed a team and went on a first-grade rescue mission. It was the first time we were able to move away from Yihan.

‘I must have dropped it because I couldn't believe it. ’

Kuro also knows the criteria by which Lee chose his team members. I picked only boys who could fight without hesitation in action. Kuro does not meet that standard. Kuro thinks he's pathetic.

‘If only I could fight like everyone else.... ’

Kuro's natural character was not fit for battle. Especially not to humans. The arc is well aware of Kuro's problems, but does not tolerate personality correction. Arc researchers have determined that Kuro may be the source of a strong psychic.

“Kuro, keep an eye on the inspectors. ”

Jose told Kuro. José shared his command with Dmitri. Jose is not exceptional, but a pass point in all respects. There is some leadership in particular. His advantage is that in any situation, one person's share is achieved. He is flexible enough to catch his breath with any kind of squad member.

“Is Hahn going to be okay? ”

Kuro mutters. Dmitri takes his rest.

“You'll have to worry about us first. I just got your report. Some of the soldiers are coming this way. Get ready."

Dmitri signals to the boys. Each of you hid in the shadows and waited for the enemy. They pulled all the rocks and logs from the fourth simulated battlefield.

‘If we hold out, we win. ’

The artificial island arc is a huge fortress. Resident soldiers and instructors are elite and veterans, chosen from different countries. Soldiers from the front are coming to wipe out the enemies inside the arc. Enemies are in a hurry.

“Here she is."

The battle has begun. Soldiers on the fourth simulated battlefield point guns at the boys. The boys who hid themselves firmly under cover were not easily beaten. Dmitri calmly orders a full-scale strike. The goal was to stop him, not kill him, and that was enough. Neutral weapons, such as grenades, strike with their psychic abilities.

Kwa-ang!

A conceptual grenade explodes from the air. Focusing on the firepower didn't work at all. The soldiers slowly embarked.

“It's impossible to take them down with firepower now. ”

The deputy said, the commander frowned.

“We're fully armed, and they only have one gun. What are you doing!”

“But it doesn't work. ”

Psychic boys are trained with modern warfare knowledge. A group of super-soldiers training with human dignity. As long as they defend it openly, it cannot be easily penetrated. The commander rolls his feet and shouts to the comms.

“Aye! Request air space. Bombardment!”

“Yes? It's impossible for a bomber to get through the shell right now. ”

The deputy said in a panic. A long time after the raid, the bomb shelter was fully operational. Even a little closer, the anti-aircraft cannons were aiming. It is no longer possible to get further support.

“That's an order!”

“… Got it. ”

The deputy thinks it's crazy, but he calls for a bombing through communications. The answer came as a surprise.

Laser guidance, please.

The hangar of the aircraft that flew over the Arc has been opened. The UAV falls down. The aircraft has entered the firing range of the anti-aircraft cannon. The aircraft pilot is prepared to die and attracts anti-aircraft guns on behalf of the UAV.

- God is great!

The aircraft was hit by a cannon. Suddenly, a drone bomber lands and flies. It was a low-altitude flight, so the anti-aircraft cannons couldn't shoot it down.

Pure Humans are a multinational group, with many motives and purposes. Some people think their lives are insignificant in front of God's mission.

Wiiiing!

An unmanned attack aircraft set as an autopilot flies towards the firing point. The rear opens, revealing the engineering missile.

“Something's coming. ”

Kuro's back is creepy. Kuro's short-term forecast is a tactical weapon. Kuro stays by the squad leader or commander's side for a quick response.

“Kuro?”

Jose looked at Kuro and said, He looked around. So far there has been no significant risk. The deadlock only lasts. But if Kuro felt something, it means the danger is certain. Kuro has never been wrong.

Gooooo!

Kuro's eyes glow blue. I can't even see his pupils. His retina is not present, but a few seconds ahead. Smooth aircraft with no cockpit, missiles underneath. The missile flew into the center of the fourth simulated battlefield.

‘We're all going to die. ’

Kuro's face is pale. This is what happens in a few seconds. There's no way out of range of missiles. The boys in front of me will burn to the ground in a minute.

“Kuro?”

Kuro doesn't answer. Speaking now is not something we can do.

‘Maybe it's a good thing it's not here. Lee can't die in a place like this. ’

The arc boys have spotted a drone attacking from behind. Their eyes widen. Missiles have landed beneath the UAV. A missile flies out of the sky with a burst of flame.

“It's over.”

Someone tells me Kuro is watching the incoming missile. It's getting closer. It feels like a long time in seconds. It was a short life, but I had a vision of a long memory. Life in Japan was not pleasant. I was left out because of my skin color, and Kuro, who was reserved, didn't have the courage to get along with anyone. Rather, the hard life in the arc was more enjoyable. At least I had a friend and a colleague I could count on. His colleagues treated Kuro as an equal.

‘Ihan... I wouldn't have given up. ’

Lee was Kuro's mental example. Kuro always wanted to be strong like this.

‘I'm not as smart as Yihan. He's not even as determined as Simon. He's not as brave as Knut. All I've ever been able to do is protect a friend, not defeat an enemy. ’

Goooooooo!

Kuro reaches for the sky. Psychic airflow flows from around his body. The ground is swirling and the dirt and dust spins round.

“I won't let you die. José and the others... ”

Kuro's voice is low as if resting. Kuro grabs his fist as he pulls on his extended arm.

Kuoooooo!

A thud strikes. Kuro grabs the missile with impulsive force, like compressing space. Missile stopped in midair.

Glug glug!

The blood spills out of Kuro's nose. There was a vein of blood on my face.

“Blow up! ”

Kuro shouts. The surface of the missile crumbles. Kuro clenches his fist until his fingernails dig into the flesh.

Kwa-ang!

Missile in mid-air. The spark rises. It's magnificent. The fallen flames set fire to the fourth simulated battlefield. A forest simulated battlefield has become a sea of fire.

“More coming! ”

The UAV fires two remaining missiles. Kuro had already foreseen it. I stretched my arms out and used psychics to squeeze out my life force. The psychic aura is shaped around his body. Not only eyelight, but also a bluish aura appeared on the skin. Aura shakes like a flame. It was like a blue flame.

“Class S!”

The squad member looks at Kuro and says, Psychic grades are subdivided by numbers from A. Class S is an alias for Psychic Powers that are abnormally powerful psychics. The evidence is that the energy is observed by the eye, so it is shaped with a strong density.

Ooh, ooh!

The hand shaped psychic energy captures the missile. It was the same psychic energy as Kuro's hands. Brilliant imagination and dense psychokinetic energy have made this mind-bending reality possible.

“Turn it off! ”

Kuro swings his arm wide. The psychic hand that caught the missile moved the same way. Kuro's missile was hit by a drone strike. The UAV explodes, causing debris to erupt everywhere.

“Oh, my God…. ”

The enemy soldiers, as well as the inspectors, wake up. They soon became appalled. It was like the hand of God in the Bible or mythology. The hand of the blue glowing god moves like a thunderbolt.

“Ah, ahhhh! ”

Kuro's psychic abilities have reached their limit. His glare flashes. The psychic hand also faded and repeatedly darkened. The captured missile flinches.

Don't let him get away! ’

Kuro blinks at you. He swings his arm out loud. The missile deviates from orbit as it circles pingly. Missiles that have lost their way have fallen to the enemy.

“Doom. This isn't human power. ”

The commander who requested the bombing muttered. He seemed taken aback. He looks at the incoming missile. His men shouted something. I can't hear you. Kwa-ang. The sound of explosion. The consciousness is gone. At the end of the explosion, only the charred corpse. The soul is just a missing piece of meat.

“Kaaak!”

Kuro squats, his hands and feet trembling. He vomited blood. Blood spilled from my eyes, nose and ears.

“Anyone with a medical kit! Hurry up!"

Jose screamed. He wraps his arms around Kuro. It was too much psycho-kicking for anyone to see. Kuro might die. Kuro convulses and trembles.

“No. Don't die, Kuro. Wake up!”

Jose felt like he was going to cry. Dmitri opened a medical kit on his behalf and took out the pain medication.

“Out of the way, Jose. ”

Dmitri pushes Jose away and calmly makes a first aid effort. There is nothing they can do about the injuries caused by psychic overuse. should be treated in the ward. Right now, all we have to do is administer medicine to ease Kuro's pain as much as possible.

“Jose! Keep talking to Kuro. Don't lose consciousness. ”

Demetri says. José holds Kuro's hand and continues to say something. I didn't know what I was talking about, but I said anything.

The inspectors were unable to shut up about what had just happened. Even the inspectors were captivated by the fear of the Cyclist. If those boys grow up, what will they become? I empathize with the fears of the pure Humans. Generation 1 and generation 2 are distinctly different. Generation 2 may be uncontrollable superhumans.

“What a monster. They should all have died here. ”

‘If you have that kind of power, you must reign over humans. Our purebreds are not wrong. The sickers are monsters to be killed. ’

One of the inspectors mutters. His eyes were dangerous. The madness that had lost its mind flashed. I saw Kuro's psychic, and he was horrified. I felt the mission to kill the bikers. While everyone was standing still, the inspector pulled out a palm-sized pistol from the heel of his shoe. He aims at Kuro through the crowd.

"Pistol?"

Inspector James Lu, standing among the crowd, finds the pistol and makes his move. He attacks the man with the pistol. The two of them tangled and made a commotion. The bullet passes through Inspector Lou's flank. Inspector Lou is also from the military. He clenches his fist and slaps the man in the face instead of screaming.

“Enough!”

The boys rushed in and separated Inspector Lou and the man. They take a man's pistol and wrap it around his arms and legs. Inspector Lou sits down, wrapped around his side.

“Damn, there really was a traitor among us. ”

Inspector Lou kicked his tongue. The balance of the Arc and High Commission will be shaken in the future. Arc took heavy damage from the inspection. For the time being, the Supreme Committee is unable to speak loudly to Arc. You cannot refuse the funding to recover.

Gooooo!

The arc is engulfed in flames and smoke. There have been reports that the situation is over. The intruder is defeated, but the signs of intruder remain deep in the mind of the boys. Boys raised as shields to protect humanity. The fact that you were attacked by humans, not by minions, is shocking. The wound may be a trigger for future discrimination and oppression as pure waves worry.

Arc's first and second graders received total psychotherapy. Nearly half of first graders died, and half of the remaining students were expelled. Seven deaths occurred in second grade. The Arc Establishment anomaly, the worst disaster, happened twice in a row. Even the Supreme Committee was aware of the seriousness of the situation and provided substantial support. The Arc Project itself may collapse if it does.

“Ihan, how are you? ”

A young psychotherapist said. Lee closed his eyes and opened them.

“It's okay now. ”

Even for the first two days, I couldn't sleep without sedation. The excitement and frenzy of the battle do not leave your mind. The other boys were in worse condition. I stood still, but I broke things and broke the window for no reason. With the help of psychotherapy and medication, the boys gradually returned to their daily lives.

“I'm going to give you three more days of medicine, so take it if you feel like you're going to have a heartbeat or anxiety. ”

Lee Han nodded. After leaving the pit, he looked at the second ward.

‘Kuro.’

Kuro was admitted to ward two. Arc's top medical staff are stuck. Barely saved his life, but he needs to be admitted for at least a month. Kuro was convicted of Class S cycler in the case. He was also a hero who saved the lives of countless boys.

“Well done, Kuro. ”

Lee said to himself. He stares at the window. No training or classes for a while. You are instructed to devote yourself to rest. The upper part of the arc feared that second graders would fall into a recession. Even if first graders were to be replenished in some way, a reduction in second graders would compromise the arc project itself.

“Squad Leader Lee Han. ”

Inspector James Lou limps. Yesterday, he was hospitalized with attendants as if he were leaving now.

“Inspector Lou. ”

Lee bowed briefly. I heard he saved Kuro's life.

“You're good. I admire your leadership and judgment on the ground. ”

Inspector Lou did not mock. It was literal.

“Thank you."

“That's why you hate us even more. You'd think they were grown-ups who were too busy taking care of themselves. ”

“… No. ”

“I'm not here to listen to you talk. I just want you to know one thing. I'm just trying to work on the future of my country, too. It's hard to understand right now. Losing a war with a dragon will be the end of it all... But as history has proven, we humans are not so rational and wise. Obviously, they repeat mistakes. We'll avoid annihilation if we give each other one step at a time, but we choose annihilation because of our pride and small gains. If the dragon hadn't invaded, where would humanity have shot all those nuclear weapons we stockpiled? Right over each other's heads. ”

Lee's eyebrows twitched. Inspector Lou walks away with his back turned. Lee said behind his back.

“… A cowardly excuse. I know it was a mistake, and I repeat it. Are you insane? ”

Inspector Lou pauses for a moment. He said without looking at this.

“That's why you're good. I don't usually talk about your age that way. If an adult says something difficult, there's a decent naivety to it. Like Kuro. Yikes, I talked a lot and you have a punctured flank. ”

Inspector Lou makes a miraculous step, wrapped around his flank. Lee watched him disappear for a long time. Lee didn't want to understand Inspector Lu. He just wants to protect his brothers and colleagues. That little wish requires a partnership. We must save mankind from extinction. Lee saw the convenience of the dragon in the dimensional crack. The dragon's invasion is a predetermined reality.
