Kill the Dragon

Most of the members assigned as reinforcements were seniors. It consisted of members for at least a year. It was just an exception.

‘So these are proven soldiers. ’

Lee thought while checking the member list.

Simon, Knute and Kuro are also candidates for reinforcement, but they have many uncertainties. There were many opinions that it would lead to reinforcements immediately.

Silence became a psychoframe reinforcer, unanimously. No one suspected Silence would become a reinforcement soldier. His position was solid.

“That makes eight of me. ”

Yihan mutters. He said he had three teams in the first place. There were not enough of them to form three.

‘… Are they my squad members now? ’

Lee had no idea about the shortage of people. Squad members assigned under him are Silence, Moose and Amir. Without Silence, they had never had a deep conversation.

Moose is a South African-American, rare in the Arc. He is not a light-skinned hybrid like Kuro, but he has African-American skin. Amir is an Aryan Indian, so he looked almost European white.

“Alpha Team. ”

Lee received a new code. The first team and the meaning of the prototype squad were mixed code.

‘I just wanted to be with the right people when I got distracted. Realistically, it's not possible right now. ’

Silence was stationed in the Alpha Squad, but the top was concerned about this convenience. Simon, Knute and Kuro were gradually experiencing problems using them as reinforcements right away.

‘Moose and Amir were even better. They're not falling. ’

Moose and Amir are better than Simon or Knut, based on their combat skills and abilities.

Alpha team first mission.

It's a waste of fire to send a team of psychoframe reinforcements into minion annihilation. However, the Alpha team needed experience with hand-to-hand. Raise your combat experience using psychoframes.

- I think I'll be fine on my own. Haha.

Moose laughs a lot. There was a part of me that wanted to turn the whole situation to laughter. He moves casually, throwing a joke. Ki-ying, ki-ying. You hear the psychoframes moving.

‘Two hours in a non-combat situation. It takes about 30 minutes to get into combat. Is this the average of our team? ’

Improving your Psychic Energy Distribution increases uptime. The average uptime of the alpha team is still short. Rather, the operating time was the longest since the psychic energy was at least highly controlled.

“Slow down. ”

Lee told Moose ahead. Moose is a hard type to handle. I'm not a bit picky, but I handed everything over playfully and spilled the other person's words into one ear. It is liberal to say good things, and not bad things.

- All right, boss.

Moose replies, pretending to slow down. Soon after anyway, I will move quickly again.

Amazon rainforests. A huge forest, also known as Earth's Void Forest. This area is crawling with minions as rarely as humankind. The arc is also constantly monitoring the Amazon through satellites. Arc's team is dispatched as soon as a swarm of minions is observed.

- Minions. Ellu, Werewolf, Grunt, look at this? There's even Basilisks.

Ihan shared Moose's vision. He gives a quick instruction.

“Silence is Basilisk. The rest are free to fight.”

You don't even have to have formations. You can sweep it away with your bare hands.

- Let's go.

Moose says the squad comms only heard Lhyan and Moose. Silence is speechless, and Amir rarely speaks useless. I just said what I needed to say.

Lee Han sent a signal to open fire. The squad jumps out in unison. It was a one-sided massacre. This mission aims to test combat strength. The minions have fallen before even the right resistance.

‘I can't feel.'

Yihan mutters, not a peep of emotion in the sight of the minions dying. No fear, no excitement. You shoot and kill minions, just like you practiced shooting. Squads, including Lee Han, are accustomed to killing. There is no emotional response to taking a life. In fact, some people enjoy it as if playing.

‘Course it is. ’

Lee tried to think. I think about the time I fought the werewolves and Elu Hunters in the Theocratic World Rift. It was a fight to survive. I fought to survive on the edge of life and death.

‘I'm not risking my life right now. It's like playing a shooting game in a safe place. ’

Those with superior power slaughter the other side as if playing a game.

‘I don't even feel nervous. ’

Lee had a habit of sharpening the magazine. Tailored to the size of the psychoframe, the shotgun R-3 uses 20mm cod rounds. Even a sturdy grunt blows its head off.

Gueung.

Silence moves toward the Basilisk's head and swings his sword. You cut down the basilisk vertebrae in one fell swoop. It is possible thanks to the strength of the psychoframe.

Silence's psychoframe was thin and light. Internal artificial muscles are rare. Due to the nature of the Blink, the heavier the body, the more psychokinetic energy consumption has led to extreme lightening.

“Situation terminated.”

Lee reported to the arc. He looks through the helmet shield to check the status of the squad member.

‘There is little change in PP compared to before the battle. ’

The change in PP figures was marginal. Evidence that everyone has subdued the minions with minimal force.

Cheapskate, cheapskate.

Lee walked on the bloody floor. The corpses of the minions are cruel.

- Smells terrible.

Moose grunts. They are accustomed to this sight.

“Rest.”

Lee stopped the psychoframe from sitting down. The internal space was shielded and the psychic energy supply was cut off. They wait for the transport.

Alpha team's combat strength test was three more times in a month. The battle results have always been remarkable, with the second generation of psychoframes boasting end-stage performance. The more experienced the wearer, the better the performance. It seemed to grow with the wearer.

Half a year after the emergence of the new dragon, Code Jupiter, appeared at the Paris World Gate, the 3rd Grade PsychoFrame II team was ready. The Alpha and Blue teams were assigned top third graders. They are at the end of their coordination.

“Instructor Wei Chen is leaving? ”

There was a large-scale renovation in the arc. There was no new freshman recruitment. You will receive new boys in no time, so you will not raise soldiers until the war. Saikers, who had been assigned as instructors, returned to active duty one by one.

Wei Chen was a popular instructor. I gained a lot of trust because of my personality among the instructors. Many thought he would return to the service of the Arc, but the result was surprising. Wei Chen chose the way back to China. I accepted it as if only a few people knew.

“He only accepted the instructor's position in the first place. ”

Red said. Arc's airfield was swarming with people. Many leave the arc. As the renovation took place, unnecessary personnel returned home. Most of them are not deeply related to arc projects.

“What are the rest of the psychoframes for? ”

Lee asked after encountering Sergeant Red. The only person who could ask this question was Sergeant Red. Sergeant Red has at least favors for Yihan. We do not do anything that is disadvantageous to Lee Han.

‘I have to use Sergeant Red's favor.... ’

Sergeant Red narrows his eyes as if he knew to ask such a question. He looked at Lee Han.

“Curious? You won't believe me if I say reserve..." ”

“I heard you put together three teams. But right now it's only the Alpha and Blue teams. ”

Sergeant Red nods his head toward this. The gesture is to follow. They walk away from people's gaze.

“You're a major player these days. Han.”

“I didn't do anything. ”

“Don't try to know too much. Curiosity brings disaster. Damn it.”

Sergeant Red bites the cigar and sets the fire. The cloudy smoke rises in annoyance.

“Do you know Zach de Gaulle? ”

Sergeant Red's eyebrows twitch. It meant I knew.

“I heard you met on a mission. ”

“Zach told me that six years ago, he killed a group of arc-trained children. I thought it was disposable in some way, but it sounded a little different when it came to killing people. ”

Lee Han was a gambler. If this comment is known to the top, Lee is firmly stamped. As Lt. Lee said, he's still being watched by the arc.

“Did you tell that story to the others? ”

“I'm the only one who knows yet. Nothing good about it. ”

Sergeant Red closes his eyes and squeezes his glabella. It was complicated in my head. Sergeant Red doesn't have the strength to solve this situation. Sergeant Red is just a first-generation, influential biker. No matter how legendary he is, he has no real power.

‘I never thought being smart would be a problem like this. ’

The thinking of third-graders is simple. High combat intelligence and coping skills, but no doubt arc through brainwashing mental training. Arc is an absolute good, and they think they're doing the right thing for humanity. Even Simon, who has many complaints, has no doubts about the arc.

‘Less women and children with personality and thinking are easy to brainwash.... Lee was a man of character from the moment he came in. ’

Lee Han is a boy with intense will and complete values.

Sergeant Red hasn't spoken in a while. He was concerned. Report the situation to the superiors or ignore it. Lee doesn't believe in Arc. I am confident beyond the category of doubt. Tendencies such as excessive violence and aggression can be controlled with medication, but this tendency is not a part of drug correction.

‘Rather, if you try to control it with drugs, even its natural advantages disappear. ’

This is an advantage of thorough self-control. One advantage remains to fill in the gaps. Sturdy reasoning leads to meetings. Normal people dig up the pieces of the puzzle without just passing them on.

“No more unsanitary behavior. Let me teach you just one thing. There are three teams as scheduled. You just don't know it. ”

Up to this point, Lee could make a variety of inferences.

First generation team? No way.First generation is not efficient enough for writing. Running time will be short. ’

Lee looked at Sergeant Red. He used to be a big looking instructor. Now that I know so much about Sergeant Red, he looks so small. I know the limits of Sergeant Red. It's like watching a little boy become a little father. Sergeant Red, who seemed capable of anything, was just one of the Arc's men.

“If things go wrong, do we dispose of them? ”

Lee's words pierce Sergeant Red coldly. Sergeant Red disfigures his face. Because I was angry, I wanted to be beaten by arrogant Lee Hwan right away. He suppressed his anger to the end.

“Do you think Arc can afford to kill you now? ”

A little patience rises from the mouth of Sergeant Red's mouth.

“No.”

Lee knew and asked. I was convinced of Sergeant Red's attitude. Sergeant Red is furious, as if touching disgusting water.

‘Arc has no alternative but us. ’

Even if you have something to hide, you cannot replace the third grade. The arc project is in its finalization phase. It's impossible to turn everything upside down here and start over.

In a short answer, Sergeant Red wept. He knew he had fallen into Lee's trap. The little Lee Han became an unbearable existence. You stand out like a demon.

Lee read the meaning in small actions and words. By inference, I came close to the correct answer.

‘It's reversed. ’

Sergeant Red smiles bitterly. Reversal of relationships, boys grow up and adults grow old. This growth was abnormally fast.

Lee bowed briefly and disappeared. In the blue sky, I saw a transport plane carrying those leaving the arc.
