Kill the Dragon

- She's responding. Just a little more!

Okto clenches his fist. Lee took a slow breath inside the psychoframe.

"It hurts. My knees are going to break. ’

My knees are hot. My muscles are torn. Lee raised his head and looked around.

The floor decays slightly.

Wiiiing!

As Lee tries to sigh, the tack comes up from the ground. As the sack moves, you aim at Lee Han.

Kwa-ang!

Practice Cannonball has been fired. A shell that shatters and scatters when it comes into contact with a target. If you're naked, you die alone.

“Cough.”

Lee got kicked in the chest. I got up on the ground. He stares at the sack and twists. The next bullet dodges lightly.

“This wasn't supposed to happen. ”

Yihan grunts. It's an annoying voice.

- I just found out. It was inspired by Smith. Destroy it.

Lee Han moved as fast as the sacks could not keep up. You take a long detour to the side.

- There's a wall over there.

“I know. I'll get it over with. ”

The psychoframe's glow darkened. Lee ran, putting his foot on the wall. I jumped over the wall to the side. Lee ran like a shot and ran high as he smashed through the wall. You reach out your arm as you land on the tack.

Yuck! Yuck!

Lee grabbed the cannon and twisted it up. Even steel was a crushing grip. In the helmet shield, there is a shimmering spectacle. Twenty blue lights flow through the frame's exterior.

“… limit. Okto.”

First maneuver. Multiple problems. Lee Han frowned and sweated.

- Good job.

Okto woke up on his feet. He runs out of the Test Ground and approaches the arc executives.

Most were positive responses to second-generation psychoframes. Given that it was the first maneuver, it was an amazing ability to move.

Lee went out of the testing yard and into the hangar trailer. Lee sat down wearing a psychoframe. He takes off his helmet and throws it down.

“Ha, ha. ”

Lee Han's hair was drenched. The heat inside the helmet spreads.

Kieing.

The psychoframe opens, and Lee gets up with the support of the technicians. As soon as Lee Han sat on the chair, people put the ice pack on him. Lee Han wrapped his knees in ice packs. I had a fever and was in a lot of pain.

“More knee joint angles than I expected. ”

The technician who examined the psychoframe said. The knee joint mobility range of the psychoframe was wider than that of the human knee. This caused damage to the ligament of the knee. If it weren't for reinforcement, it would have been unbearable and severed.

“As expected, joints are a problem. Focusing on lightening, the strength to withstand tension is too weak to loose. I never thought it would happen with this kind of movement. ”

Okto, who has just returned, said.

“I thought you were dead. ”

Lee Han frowned. There is a slight hint of blame on Okto.

“It's better than finding it in action. ”

Okto mutters as if it were nothing. He even sings a snort. The test was successful, and the superiors determined that he could handle the psychoframe.

“What do the bosses say? ”

“Positive review. I got an extra budget. Besides the benefits of immediate power, you thought the data from the prototype might be useful. ”

Okto was delighted to fly. I hit old Smith with the right punch. I don't think I need to eat snacks because my mouth is sore for a while.

"Will Okto be sad when I die? Well, he's always like that. ’

Lee Han covered his face with ice packs. I felt refreshed. He taped to his knees and walked. I finished the test early, so I didn't get as badly injured as I thought.

“Schedule your next test quickly. ”

Lee Han walked out and said.

“What's the rush? ”

Okto tilts his head.

“Somehow we don't have a lot of time. ”

Lee recalled Oracle's words. Her prophecy felt like it was about the near future.

A woman in a strange atmosphere came in between the summoned officers and the soldiers of Arc Jung opportunity- It was Oracle, the only civilian in the conference room. She wears a t-shirt in her jeans and holds a game machine in her hand.

Boop, boop.

The sound of pressing the game machine spread to the conference room. Oracle flicks his fingers with his tongue again.

“Sergeant Red. Please dry my headache before it gets worse. ”

Chief of Staff Alexander told Sergeant Red. Red is one of the few people that can touch Oracle.

Qajik!

Sergeant Red grabs Oracle's game machine and throws it. The game machine smashed into the wall. Oracle glances at Sergeant Red, irritated.

“Huh? What am I supposed to do during a boring meeting? ”

Oracle grunts. Sergeant Red sighs deeply. He put up with his temper.

“Just stay still. ”

Sergeant Red grunts. Oracle is not dead at all, and his mouth tightens. She folds her arms and arrogantly bends her torso.

“The date of the next psychoframe test was set a week later. He wants it fast. It's a lot of motivation.”

Okto said, inspiring Smith sitting in front of him turned red. In the end, the prototype was completely in Okto's hands. There is no argument.

“Keep budgeting separate. ”

Alexander nods. The sudden fire that falls into the arc goes out one by one. Pure wave problems were resolved to some extent, and the second generation reinforcements were replenished in place of the lost first generation reinforcements. The complicated problems were solved one by one. Alexander's eyes are blackened by the hardships of his schedule.

“Oracle, do you still see the same future? ”

Oracle stares down at the ceiling, dumbstruck.

“The same. The dragons that cover the sky. Tons of minions. Red bitten ground. It's the beginning of the end. ”

Oracle said in a grave.

“What if a dragon appeared before then? ”

Alexander asks why you woke Oracle. Humanity thought it was 15 years away from the threat of dragons. But the appearance of Bahamut changed the story. In addition to the invasion of the prophecy, there is a possibility that dragons will emerge. If a dragon appears in an uncontrolled situation, humanity will suffer enormous damage.

The Council Chairman waits for Oracle's answer.

Oracle closes his eyes for a moment and thinks, tapping the table.

“Oh, right. I saw it the other day. Give me a paper and a pen. ”

Oracle takes the paper and pen and bows. Her hands move quickly. Shortly after, the sketch was completed. Before the war, she was a college student at the Department of Fine Arts.

Sarsazak.

Oracle picks up the paper. It was just a figure, but no one could recognize it.

“Dragon.... ”

There was a cry in the conference room. Dragons and minions swarm across the city. People evacuated, dragons destroyed. The people who remembered the power of the dragon were terrified by the painting.

“It's going to happen in at least 10 days. I told you I'd see you in 15 years. I didn't say no dragons would come before. even though I didn't know the dragon was coming. However, there is no guarantee that the first invasion will not happen again. ”

Oracle said, her prophecy has never been wrong. Oracle is a wild and uncontrollable Cyclist. But she doesn't lie.

“Can you tell me exactly where? ”

Alexander's palms are sweaty.

“Europe or the US? I know it's a white city... ”

Oracle tilts his head and mutters. Her mouth is slightly raised.

“More detail! ”

Alexander exclaims in a loud voice. Oracle does not blink. Everyone was nervous about the prophecy of dragons appearing, but she smiled calmly.

“Stop fooling around. You already know that. Oracle.”

Sergeant Red who was listening said Najjik. He stares through the Oracle. No one knows Oracle better than Sergeant Red here. The relationship between the two was quite famous at the time of the war.

“You think that's funny? Red.”

Oracle covers his mouth and smiles. Sergeant Red looks like he's going to hit Oracle right now.

“We're not playing games. Dammit... tens of thousands or tens of thousands of lives are at stake in your words! ”

Oracle looks at Alexander with a cynical look.

“France, Paris. I actually saw the Eiffel Tower. ”

Oracle shrugs, meaning he robbed you of everything.

The meeting is over. Everyone is busy moving on. Alexander plans to replenish his slumber after the meeting, but instead, he fills his mouth with nicotine and caffeine. I couldn't sleep well for a while.

Sergeant Red and Oracle walk down the hall. Sergeant Red grabs Oracle's arm and goes into an empty room. Oracle opens his eyes.

“Bitch. What's your beef with me? ”

Bang!

Red said as he slammed against the wall. Oracle pulls the cigarette out of his pocket and asks.

“You don't know? Light 'em up, Human Lighter. ”

Sergeant Red snatches the cigarette and burns the whole thing. Oracle frowns.

“Don't be a child. Catherine, you're not the only one who can live with the sacrifice. ”

Oracle's real name. The one who didn't want to wake up Oracle the most was Sergeant Red. He was angry at the arc's decision. But once Oracle is awake, we must make the most of her power. You can save a lot of people.

‘Katherine must have seen the dragon attack a few days ago. I knew and I didn't tell anyone. ’

What I learned late was Oracle's temper. But those few days are precious to Arc. You can save more lives by preparing for those few days.

“I know. Sacrifice? That's a nice thing to say.My heart is warm. ”

A red glare emanates from Sergeant Red's eyes. The wall he was looking at is charred.

“Don't be sarcastic. Do you know how old those kids are down there right now? Thirteen, twelve at the most. Even those kids are risking their lives. ”

Sergeant Red is the cruelest first-grade instructor. It's like a human garbage without blood or tears. But he's human, too. It always caught my heart to bring the children into the battlefield. I just do it because I had no choice.

“But other people have a future of hope. Defeat the dragons, and believe that peace will come. Hope to live in a world without the threat of dragons. And who am I? What am I supposed to do when I see the future with my superpowers? My future is nowhere. Why do I have to fight for other people? ”

Sergeant Red's expression distorted. Oracle has a short life span. Two, three years, tops. Maybe tomorrow morning he'll get worse and die. Psychic itself is an indecipherable force. Diseases caused by psychosis have no clue how to treat them.

Sergeant Red hesitates.

“... because you're a good woman. ”

Red said. Oracle snorts.

“That's funny. Idiot.”

Oracle opens the door and walks out. Sergeant Red only looks behind her quietly.
