Kill the Dragon

The six-hour leg surgery is over. Rebecca is barely conscious. Surgical pain was mild thanks to pain medication. The left leg surrounded by a liquid cast was blunt.

“Huh?"

Rebecca looks inside her trousers as she feels uncomfortable between her legs. Her expression was subtle.

“Gee, diapers? ”

Rebecca had only just realized what pain was. Suddenly, my face turned red. What she was wearing was not a diaper, but a sanitary pad.

‘This is what caused the distress. ’

Rebecca grins bitterly. I have already been educated about menstruation. But I didn't think he would. Among the girls who grew up fast, there were those with menstrual periods and those without. Rebecca thought she was the latter.

“It bothers me. ”

Rebecca lies in a bundle. At that time, an Asian doctor came in. He was a Chinese physician from the Arc. His name is Baepan, an experienced surgeon forty years old, and he performed Rebecca's surgery.

“How are you feeling? ”

Baipan asks. Rebecca notices for a moment and nods.

“It's okay. No pain. ”

“If the painkillers run out, you'll be in pain. It'll take about five weeks to get back to training. I should have cut off his leg a little later. ”

Rebecca's eyes widen slightly. I didn't even care that I almost got my leg cut off. The part that bothered me was the backstory.

‘Is it okay if I skip five weeks? ’

Rebecca thinks. Deep in her heart, her fears rise. The training was difficult, but I was even more afraid that I wasn't trained. It was evidence of the brainwashing that had taken place.

Baipan read Rebecca's expression. I almost knew what she was thinking. He clenches his tongue, touching his pointy beard.

‘If you feel like it, I want you to know that you're okay because you passed. But I don't have the authority. ’

Baypan saw dozens of children become obstructed. It is a harsh training process both physically and mentally. Arc was abusing the children under the banner of raising elite soldiers. Only children who have overcome extreme circumstances are entitled to fight with all the support of humanity on their backs.

‘The process is hell for them now, but this is even more hell...' ’

Baipan is not an instructor. There was no reason to be cruel to the children. He was willing to do Rebecca a favor, even to prove his minimum conscience.

At the end of every training process, boys and girls become human weapons that carry out orders. The process now is simply to pave that foundation. It is impossible for them to live a normal life even if they lead the war to victory.

Even minimal socialization education was not part of the Arc's training. It meant that it was strictly taught as a weapon of war. Children who have been trained and brainwashed in Arc since childhood cannot live with the world without socialization education. The outside world is full of prejudices and fears about bikers.

‘This is a disposable knife. ’

The intention is clear. Baypan is not angry with such absurdity. I was too old to burn with such justice. He's just a middle-aged man in a world storm. Coming to the arc was simply because of Chinese authorities' dispatch orders and money.

“Rest well today. You should get some sleep. ”

Bai Pan left the room saying so. Rebecca soon goes back to sleep. The wounded and weary body needed rest.

Rebecca had a hard and irritating life. I was going crazy because my body ached. It was impossible to go outside. The trainees cannot travel alone except in designated areas. Spending time away in a stuffy room was all.

“Ow.”

Rebecca frowns. I got out of bed and tried to move. As soon as my toes touched the ground, the pain came over me. I curled up in bed and shed tears.

‘It hurts like hell. ’

The liquid cast makes it invisible, but Rebecca's injuries are severe.

“Are the others doing well? ”

Rebecca was anxious. What if it falls out like this? That's what I thought. No one knows what happens to the missing children.

Cheers.

The door to the room is open. Your baipan has arrived. He looks around at Rebecca's condition.

“Don't try to force it. If the bones don't stick together, we'll have to operate again. ”

Baipan speaks. Rebecca nods.

“Yes.”

“I know it's boring, but think of it as part of your training. Getting cured is just as important as training. ”

Baipan examines Rebecca's complexion.

‘Even if I say this... it's hard to stay locked up in a room all day. ’

Rebecca looks up at the sliding frame. Baipan scratched his beard. He takes his projector and installs it against the wall of the room.

Kiririk.

Machine sound flows from the projector. The video was played using the wall as a screen. Baipan touches the projector and finishes setting up a few settings.

“What is this? ”

Rebecca asks. Baipan shrugs.

“My collections. Press this to play, press this to stop. It's not a movie that girls would like... ”

Baipan was a movie buff. In particular, I liked history and harmony.

Whoo-hoo!

The movie begins. Rebecca stares at the screen dazed. This was her first time watching a movie. In the fictional stories, characters move like reality. She quickly immersed herself in the film.

‘Glad you're having fun. ’

Baipan quietly stands up and leaves the room. Showing movies to trainees is forbidden. It was because of the dangers of water in bad ideas and mindset. The trainees are empty now. They are greatly affected by little stimuli or education.

‘Well, whatever. It's only a movie. It's a pity to let it go. ’

Baipan enters the break room and smokes.

“Ha, I still have this feeling. ”

He said, spitting out dark smoke. Children who have fallen short of mere will or injury return to their home countries. It belongs to national property. Most of them will use their psychic abilities to work for national institutions.

The problem is children who have become obstructed. Mentally damaged children have no use for anything. Rather, it is dangerous because of its unstable capabilities. Those kids are in charge of psychic research. After all, I am a lab rat for life. Rumor has it that the dissection will take place.

After two weeks, Rebecca spends time with Baipan, except for a brief visit from incoming instructors.

“I've seen it all. ”

“Hmm, really? ”

“It was corny, but it wasn't bad. ”

The subject of the story was the movie I saw the other day. Baipan also liked the new young friend. Rebecca thought she'd be smart enough to watch the movie. I enjoyed the movie, not just focusing on what I saw, but focusing on the inside of the character.

"Better than my own daughter. ’

Bae Pan has a big daughter. I haven't heard from her since she got married. From some point on, I only called once at the holidays. It was over after my wife died. Baypan was a socially successful man, but always neglected his family. His hobbies and work were his whole life.

“The bones are sticking faster than I thought. She's doing well in rehab. ”

“Thanks to you.”

Rebecca smiles and answers. Baipan felt a deep guilt in that smile. He's got a strong mind, but he's still a pretty good kid. As the project progresses, the child will change.

‘I like to call it the Human Shield... In fact...' ’

Rebecca was at peace for two weeks. But the training camp was not at peace for two weeks.

Immortality has occurred in the Training Hall. Two more instructors are dead. He was friendly with the instructor who died in the fire last time. They roughly drive the trainees away, as if avenging their dead friends. They made a big mistake.

The remaining trainees were no longer weak children. The bikers were pushed to the edge of the cliff and devoted to evil.

“Shut up!"

Three trainees confronted the instructor. The alarm sounds and the Training Hall is in chaos. Even before the escorts arrived, the three trainees overwhelmed the instructors and took their weapons. They draw their guns in fury.

After more than a year of training, the boys were tough and cruel. In a situation where even hope was not seen, they chose self-destruction. Killing the instructors here won't change anything. However, the young boys struggled as they acted.

‘We are strong. ’

Rebel Akima watches the battle from afar. He looks at the response of the instructors and soldiers with his sharp eyes. Although only basic military training was completed, the combat method using psychic abilities was effective.

‘But I'm fighting without thinking. We're going to get caught soon. Even with great personal strength, fighting like that won't save our advantage at all. ’

Just as Ribel predicted. Three of her trainees have been captured shortly.

“These bastards killed Mick and House! ”

“Calm down!”

Something unexpected happened. The trainees were immediately disposed of on the spot.

Bang, bang!

The gunshot sounds long. An instructor excited about a colleague's death shoots and kills the trainees. Even the fellow instructors beside me didn't stop them. Just say, "No! I just said." Enemies initiated by orders are irreversibly deteriorating.

‘I want to kill each other...' ’

Rebel closes her eyes and opens her eyes. How long do I have to train like this? What the hell is the boss thinking? Rebel and the other boys were at their limit. I can't go on like this.

I looked at Rebel and the other boys. Rebel has already formed a faction among her trainees. A large number of children were following the Rebel.

‘I've decided.’

Rebel gazes at the distant building. A ward with Rebecca.

‘I wonder if he's still there...' ’

Maybe it's not already at the arc.

From that night on, Rebel began to make plans. You stole a Instructor Terminal to get inside maps and personnel. I checked the patrol route and area thoroughly. Acting only according to basic strategic guidelines, but the plans that Rebel made seemed great for her peers.

Rebel plans slowly around herself and her close children. If the plan leaks out and is discovered, it's over.

‘So far, the reaction may kill me. ’

Another week passed.

Their hatred was at its peak. Collapsed boys were turning it around. That night, Rebel told me her plans in front of the children at the inn.

“We're escaping the arc. Steal the ship. At the moment, the arc is mostly noncombatants, with the exception of its instructors. The combat force is only a minority. If we fight together, we have the upper hand in combat. ”

“Is that possible? ”

“Trust me. I've been making plans. What's to stop us from being worse than those instructors? We're sickers. That's one hell of a sicker. We can do whatever we want. Why do we deserve better than this? This is ridiculous. We can do anything we want out there. ”

Rebel convinced the children. It was hollow logic and poor follow-up, but it was enough for the children. I'm already tired of living now. I felt like I was going to go crazy if I lived like this for another day.

“No. We're all gonna die. Stop it."

There were children who opposed it. They hated and feared the instructors deep in their bones. I didn't even dream of going up against the instructors.

“Coward!”

A child in tune with Rebel sells the Dissidents. The rumbling grew.

“Don't be ridiculous. If you run, we will be harmed too. When we get out of here, we'll let you know right outside. Give it up. ”

The children who listened to the dissidents were delirious. Rebel narrows her eyes.

“Let's split the opposition here. ”

The children flinched and moved away. The upvotes stand behind Riebel. The Dissidents gathered among themselves.

“We have to live like this for a few more years. And when the dragons invade, they will fight for their lives. Is that how you want to live? Really?"

Rebel speaks to the Dissidents.

“If I follow you, I can escape? ”

“More colleagues will increase your chances. And I'm going to go to the hospital first. Maybe the fallen comrades from the training camp are still there. Rescue them and come with us. ”

In response, several people moved from the Dissident to the Upper Party. It moved my mind that I was saving my colleague. The Dissidents have been reduced to 10. The opposition was overwhelming.

“You're all against it. ”

Rebel told the Dissidents. The Dissidents hesitate. They do not have the courage to stand up to the instructor.

“Al, I'm not telling you. Leave us alone. ”

The rivet is inverted under the bed matrix. He catches the hidden iron. It was sharpened and sharpened. Rebel hides the iron in her sleeve and walks out to the Dissidents. A fierce glow emanates from his eyes.

“You're not friends anymore. ”

Rebel moves her hand. I threw iron and used mind-bending power. The accelerated metal pierces through the Dissident's neck in a row.

Shhh!

“... I can't believe what they're saying. ”

Standing defenselessly, the Dissidents collapse with their necks in their hands. Their blood drenches the floor vigorously. The supporters were surprised as well. They are shocked by Rebel's bold actions.

“I don't need to kill.... ”

Someone told Rebel. His voice was trembling.

“If one of them snitches, we're all dead. I had no choice. ”

Rebel says in a grave. Rebel made a decision to increase her chances of success. But his judgment was quite abnormal.

‘Rebel is not like us.... ’

Rebel's judgments and thoughts were different from those of other children. Even the children who ate the pot killed without hesitation. It was not about experience or intelligence. Basically, there was something else with Rebel. Is it because of Akima's strong heritage, or because of the family environment that was abused by parents?

Even the supporters are frightened by Rebel's actions. They were afraid of Rebel.
