Kill the Dragon

Oracle has access to the Arc's database. She's been frozen to sleep for over a decade. The arc project has only a single piece of information.

“A cyker training plan to fight dragons. The Ark, meaning the last Ark of mankind. ”

Oracle mutters.

A type of supersoldier positivity. Only a sicker can kill a dragon. However, the cost of the Saiker and the Dragon's war exchange has been unilaterally disadvantageous. Before the dragons are wiped out, the talent pool called the Cyclops is exhausted. Reversing the disadvantage of the exchange fee and training an elite combat fighter with no combat losses. That's the Arc Project.

‘Power itself will be much more efficient at the same cost… but it is a special situation that only a sicker can kill a dragon. ’

Oracle was not very interested in the Arc Project. She's an indefinite woman, and the future doesn't mean much.

‘They care. ’

The third graders at the heart of the Arc project were more naive than Oracle thought. Although more mature than my age, my child-like appearance was revealed in everyday life.

“Funny thing about grades. Ridiculous.”

Oracle smiles lightly. The current arc project is a grade-school project. It is a public plan. They've recruited psychic children from all over the world. It's impossible to hide from the press. To the extent that it does not infringe on children's human rights, it is in parallel with formal education.

‘It's blindfolded, but every country is like this. ’

The value of democracy and freedom fell to the ground. Most presidents revise the Constitution and re-elect several times. It is difficult for the state to be established in a gentle way at the same time.

“Hmm.”

Oracle has access to information not accessible to third graders and ordinary soldiers. Oracle is unique. If Oracle does not act against the Arc, the Arc gives Oracle a special advantage.

‘The training of reinforcements is the ultimate goal.... but the sophomores. So the boys who stay in Phase 2 go to war as Cyclist soldiers. It's a shame to tease trained bikers with physical enhancements. I keep it in mind as a reserve reinforcement. ’

Oracle goes on to read the plan.

“He's a lot warmer than I thought. ”

It was not a bad thing to train a biker who did humanity a great service. This was good enough. Parties may not feel that way, but there were fewer anti-human elements compared to that scale.

Before the War of Dragons, the greatest wars before the First and Second World War were unheard of. At that time, no action was tolerated under the values of the state. Not to mention what humans would do under the value of human survival.

“Is there a space? ”

Oracle knew the document was missing from its origins six years ago. Her eyes narrow. The long eyebrows shivered slightly.

“This is going to be fun. What are you hiding? ”

Oracle mutters.

Ever since Paris' Dimensional Gate, arc fighters have been dispatched frequently. Requests for dispatch have come in from all over Europe. Especially small countries with no Minion Special Forces in their own countries were largely dependent on arcs.

Squad Leader Lee Han and his squad members were assigned to the operation alternately.

This time, the Elu and Minions were dispatched to a hidden outpost. The arc sent three teams.

“Eluda!”

Lee turned his head when he heard the sound. Five Elu Warriors stand out.

“I'll take care of it. ”

Lee went forward shooting. The Elu Warriors lift their shields and block the bullets. Elu's shield is a very cumbersome piece of equipment.

‘They're slow. ’

Elu Warriors wear heavy gear. It was that slow.

Click.

This enabled lighting. Psychic energy was absorbed along the left arm.

Parker!

Yihan emits a current to the shield of the Elu Warrior. The Elu Warrior convulses and collapses.

‘Stab.’

Lee had the gun attached to his thigh and pulled out a spear. I made the thought in my head. The spear moves dazzly. The two Elu Warriors collapsed in an instant.

“Fall back! ”

The soldier shouts. Lee draws his gun and shoots. You step back, halting the Elu Warrior. The grenade falls between the warriors.

Kwa-ang!

The limbs of the Elu Warriors are scattered to pieces.

“One left! ”

One of the Elu Warriors was a good psychic. You temporarily surround yourself with a psychic shield to prevent the explosion. Like Elu Meiji, the explosion was temporarily prevented even if it could not be sustained for a long time.

- No problem.

A message appeared on the helmet screen before Lee Han stepped forward.

Silence has moved using a blink. He stabs Ellu Warrior in the heart with a shield. The blade moves cheerfully.

The minions are no match for Arc's three teams. The minions gradually retreat back. The soldiers continue their pursuit and capture the minions. Unilateral combat. There are no victims of the Arc.

After the battle, the soldiers went into a gunfight. Several of Elu's fallen dead men have died in a frenzy. After straightening the situation, Lee sat down, taking off his helmet. Everyone rested after the battle.

‘There were five Elu Warriors, but I didn't feel like I was going to get them. I have time for my actions and thoughts. ’

His combat experience accumulated day by day. I dug through the five Elu Warriors and escaped lightly. As I became proficient in combat, I developed eyes that read the flow. I instinctively knew dangerous and easy situations. It was a value of a practical experience that was hard to obtain by training alone.

- I want that.

Silence looks at his gloves. Prototype lighting is this exclusive equipment. Lightning is a useful piece of equipment, but it is not worth hiring as a formal piece of equipment He also said that new species of Dragon Hide can be used for other purposes. Not enough leather left to make lightning.

‘Okto was a little grumpy when he said he couldn't recruit. ’

The lightning that has already been made has been used by Lee Han. It was definitely useful for those without features.

“You have the Blink. If you use this, you're wasting your psychic time. ”

Silence is lethal enough without lightning. Blink alone is an unnecessary tool for Silence, which is full of psychic energy.

- But I want it.

Silence revealed his greed for lightning. It was charming enough that the power went out of the gloves.

“Take off your mask and I'll give it to you. ”

Silence flinches at Lee Han's offer. In his mind, two values collided.

Dance.

Silence shrouds his head. He reaches forward and shakes his head.

- You can't do that. That's who I am.

This was a suggestion, knowing that it would not work. You made Silence give up. Silence's shoulders sag.

“I'll lend it to you once you get back to the arc. ”

Silence nods loudly, holding Lee's hand.

- I promise.

“All right, let it go. My hand hurts.”

Lee's wrist trembled. Okto's skill was astonishing. Lightning has never caused a malfunction in unintended movements. The precision, though simple in structure, is hard for any technician to imitate.

‘The problem is you're a freak. ’

Arc's soldiers clean up and wait for the transport.

Oracle examines the broken records. There was no information left in digital. She now enters the lost filing shed. The old documents sank into a pile of dust.

“I feel like a detective. ”

Oracle chews bubble gum. The blue-eyed man chases you inside the warehouse. She sits in the right seat and spreads out the paperwork. Finding the data took a long time. The discarded plans came out excellent.

“Ha? Are you kidding me? The Titan Project? ”

Oracle laughs. Some of the abandoned plans include giant robots. It was psychoframe macroscopication using the corpses of dragons. The sicker was planning to use psychic energy to manipulate a Dragon-sized humanoid robot. Of course, there was a technical problem, and even if I made diarrhea, there was no sicker that could handle it.

“Zeke Fried Schumacher? It's Okto. This guy's a real pain in the ass. ”

His real name is Siegfried Schumacher. It was the brainchild of a giant robot plan.

Oracle giggles, laughs, and hands over issues like this. Arc is a group that fights for humanity's honor. The budget is astronomical. There were also agendas where scientists and engineers used the budget to reveal their personal desires. Of course, the management has discarded all such agendas.

“Positive artificial biker…. ”

Oracle frowns. It failed. It was an experiment to use the dragon's psychic core to expose it to long psychic energies and turn the average person into a sicker. Volunteering subjects all dead.

“… perhaps someone who can become a Seeker at the genetic level has already been determined. ”

Oracle, who was reading, threw away the documents. It was not pleasant. As the year got older, the content became more and more grim.

“This is it.”

Oracle picks up an old document that says "Project Arc."

“By selecting 50 children rated high psychic.... ”

There are no details behind it. The important parts are all blacked out. I had no idea what was going on.

“Arc is not a fool. He wouldn't have left a record. ”

That's what I expected. Oracle sighs and closes the paperwork. A splash of dust sprayed out.

“Are you happy now? Oracle.”

Red sergeant has entered the warehouse. Oracle shrugs, not surprised.

“Are you fucking with me? ”

“The principle is not to restrain your actions. ”

Arc has been monitoring Oracle since Oracle's access to information. Sergeant Red was in charge. What Oracle is looking for is no longer documented. It's the only thing left in people's heads.

“What happened here? What did you do to erase the records in the yard where the human experiments don't destroy records? ”

“I don't know what to expect. The children of the early plan were running wild. The plan failed."

Sergeant Red said with his cold eyes. The old case is Arc's chieftain.

“If that's not stupid, then you know the situation. I'm curious about the details. Are they all dead? Or... killed him? ”

Oracle grumbles.

“To be honest, I don't know much more than that. We defeated those violent children. There were sacrifices. The whereabouts of the captured children... The Chief of Staff and a few of his men should know. No, he could have killed them all, just like you said. ”

“You expect me to believe that? The arc is where you don't know? ”

“At least I'm not lying to you. ”

Sergeant Red walks into the warehouse. He checked some of the photos in the document. They were old photographs.

“Did you kill them, too? ”

Oracle says, Sergeant Red nods.

“I tried to capture him alive.... They were stronger than us. I pushed psychoframes all the way down. ”

“You're crazy. They didn't do anything wrong.... They didn't know anything. ”

“That's the problem. We knew what kind of immortality would happen if the children who knew nothing had transcendent power. A monster who wields power with his own desires and impulses. ”

Sergeant Red recalls a bitter past. The growth rate of the second generation was more than he expected. By the time I was asked if I could control it, things had already exploded.

“What would the third graders do if they found out about this? ”

Oracle speaks. Sergeant Red knows Oracle wouldn't do that.

“Some of you with good minds know the drill. I just don't know how cruel it was. ”

If this incident is known, it's enough to buy back. The third graders are overwhelmed with anxiety. The third graders don't trust Arc, and they may turn their backs on him at any time. That's not supposed to happen in this situation.

‘We're running out of time. Now, if the third graders turn their backs, humanity is finished. ’

The third graders are in charge now, and when the third graders find out about it, Arc is bound to swing. When only hope realizes their value, Arc will have no choice but to accept any request. With mental education and control, third-graders still rely on the arc and obey it. We need to keep this situation afloat, and stop the Cyclist boys from running around again.
