Chapter 75. Qualifying Camp (2)
Meteor Shower National Team Qualifier.
The place where the abbreviated selection match is held is Signal’s training camp. It is located in an outlying area a little far from the signal site.
The characteristic of the training camp is that there are many training grounds near the main building that assume various situations.
‘In short, it’s a place where facilities such as a range for adults and a departure dreamtel are spread out.’
A unique scene that catches the attention of students even before they get close to the dormitory. Exclamation bursts out here and there at all kinds of outdoor training facilities reminiscent of a large theme park.
Needless to say, the main target of exclamations were first-year students seeing this scene for the first time. They said they wanted to go see it soon, and were excited like children who came to an amusement park for the first time.
‘Compared to that, the 2nd and 3rd graders… … .’
Sadness is pouring out of your eyes.
“now! I want you to be quiet from here and stand at regular intervals in front of the playground in front of you.”
As I walked, lost in thought, I was at the entrance of the training camp before I knew it. The lines were divided by grade and gender, so I was separated from my friends and headed to the playground.
And what started was a boring training time that would have principals all over the country slapping their foreheads.
At first, I listened in hopes that something important would come out, but more and more it was mostly nagging adorned with mental education, so later on, I just listened to it with one ear and let it go with the other.
“The 1st orientation ends here! So that you can quickly unpack your luggage at the training camp! The 2nd orientation will be held in the video guidance room inside the training camp after breakfast! After that, we will have a lunch break and have time to tour the test center where you guys will take the test. more!”
As I stared blankly at the church, the sermon ended before I knew it.
The students who were standing side by side on the grounds of the training camp headed to their respective accommodations following the guidance of the leading teachers. I heard earlier that the dorms are occupied by six people per room, and two people per grade are assigned so that positions do not overlap.
‘The reason why 1st to 3rd graders were mixed in the dorm was the intention of wanting the seniors to teach the juniors well… … .’
The intention was not necessarily to apply to everyone. Like me for example.
I dragged a carrier with extra clothes and toiletries that I had prepared and arrived in front of the assigned accommodation.
There were students who arrived at the dorm before me.
Woo woo.
“hey. Is there a store here? There was talk of installing it last year.”
“I don’t know either. But at a glance, I don’t think there will be any?”
“Tsk. I always used to do things at the level of handling. It seemed like that too. That’s why I brought all the alcohol, cigarettes and rubber.”
“wow. brother. The foresight is boring. kuhh uh? But aside from alcohol and cigarettes, is there a place to use rubber? Where is the place to do that?”
It seemed that it was stuck firmly wrong.
Before entering, the entrance door to the accommodation was open at an angle, so I quietly looked inside.
The inside of the house was thick with cigarette smoke. Three male students whose names I don’t know if they know each other were looking at each other and giggling.
“You don’t know. If you look around the dormitory here, there are several spots that are good for stealth.”
“How are you going to save the woman? Did your girlfriend also participate in the contest?”
“no. He said he won’t do it this time. They said there’s no chance of winning anyway.”
From nob le mt l. com
Judging by the color of the tie, it seemed that there were two second-year students and one third-year student.
“Then how are you going to use the rubber?”
“Do I really need to do this with my girlfriend? Why don’t you just twist it on the spot and take it with you?”
“Isn’t it a big deal if you get caught by your girlfriend?”
“What if I get caught? It’s okay if we break up I have nothing to regret.”
Why is it that even if a roommate is caught, it is tied to a room with these bad guys? It couldn’t be the most terrible and hateful moment when living in a group.
“uh? Are you in the same first grade as me? Are you in the dorm?”
Around the time I was setting the timing to enter. A male student with an impressive physique and a very gentle appearance pretended to know me.
“huh. I am also in this dorm.”
“aha! Then we’ll be using the same room for a while. nice to meet you. My name is Myungjun Oh.”
“Kim Do-yoon. Please take good care of me.”
“Ah~ My name is Doyoon Kim… . Is that Kim Do-yoon by any chance?”
“okay.”
Oh Myung-Jun’s hand trembles as he asked me to shake his hand. I took his outstretched hand and shook it up and down lightly so he wouldn’t feel awkward.
‘How are you treating me like this… … .’
It was the kind of behavior that an outcast in the class would do when suddenly facing Iljin. The reason why I know that so well is because I personally experienced school violence when I was in middle school.
Unlike now, in the past, my body and face were a mess because I didn’t take care of myself. It was a so-called contemplation that was easy to look down on, and I suffered a lot because I was not good around words.
‘Really, when I was in middle school, my impression was exactly like that guy.’
Afterwards, in order to change, I worked hard to exercise, took care of my skin, and even studied psychology to improve interpersonal relationships. Then, gradually, I began to enjoy studying psychology and walked the path of a counseling psychologist, and somehow ended up taking a graduate school course… … . Let’s stop this sad anecdote here.
“Hmm. I see I’ll go inside first.”
Oh Myung-jun knew my identity and went into the dorm as if he were running away.
anyway.
As someone with such experience, I would like to say that he chose the wrong place to escape.
‘It would be a big trouble if I went in there alone.’
I was able to check the result right away.
“Coke! Cough Cough!”
“Uh, what is it? Are you a first-year student?”
“hey. This is a non-smoking area… … .”
The moment Oh Myung-jun enters, the eyes of the trio of archers who were giggling at the window suddenly change like wild beasts that have found their prey.
“Ah, it was. I’m sorry, junior. But can I ask you something?”
“Cough Cough! yes? Ah yes. Please.”
“What is the position of juniors by any chance?”
“I participated as a supporter… … .”
“aha. supporter? Thanks for letting me know.”
Quack!
At that moment, Oh Myung-Jun’s head crashed to the floor as if it had been pulled by something.
“Ouch! big… .”
“supporter? did you support? Wow, the tool can speak. When the dealer and the tank risk their lives fighting on the front line, the guy sucking honey from behind is crazy.”
“this… If so, I will report it. Aren’t you in trouble if you tell the teachers?”
“Oh, do it. Go and try it once. but you know that You’re beaten to the point of blood here and go whining, right? You’re going to go wild right there on the spot.”
“yes? what is that… … .”
A sophomore who seems to be the one who activated the power of nature to Oh Myung-jun speaks.
“I know that? I didn’t give you that hard. No matter how supportive you are, if you knew how to use combat posture, you would not have kissed the floor so stupidly.”
“… … .”
“Supporters also need to be equipped with armed forces to protect themselves. Don’t you know that’s a basic requirement? If you warmly drink honey from behind the Diltans, you should behave yourself well. I’m sorry if you helplessly squeeze and explode, but you can’t be selected as a national representative, you man.”
“Hey. he will cry Just go there.”
I was quietly watching the scene.
If it were real, it would be a scene of really serious violence, but in the world of Psychic Age, where mines and monsters disturb public order, it was a scene that happened like a normal day.
“brother! Because these idiots are set to represent the national team, our country can’t even win! Do these bugs think they’ll be adults if you don’t wake up like this?”
“hahahahaha! that’s cheap In society, adults are often treated as honored guests, so sometimes there are a lot of bugs that don’t understand the subject and go into shoulder pads.”
Did Yooseong ever go through something like this?
‘He was lucky. The male students in the dormitory they were assigned to were all seniors and juniors, and they felt like they were proud of each other.’
The Psychic Age grants a background suitable for the nature of an adult and an ordeal suitable for it. If you look at the stories of the characters, all of them were like that.
If you call it ‘destiny’. If I, too, are entangled in such a fate.
This situation can be said to be inevitable.
smart.
Before the bullying of my seniors against Oh Myung-woon grew bigger, I deliberately knocked on the open door and focused my attention on myself.
“George seniors. If you’re going to smoke, do it with ventilation. Ooh, look at the smell.”
I deliberately fanned my hands around my face, exaggerated. The key was to carefully observe the seniors’ facial expressions while pretending not to care.
Usually, when it comes out like this, third-rate villain lines such as ‘What are you, you son of a b*tch?’
at the beginning of admission. Dae-hyeok Dae, who had been arguing with me when I was choosing an all-rounder position, was like that too. Aren’t there guys like that? The type of people who don’t know how scary the world is.
but.
“oh? Are you Doyun Kim? That’s Kim Do-yoon!”
“Do you know me?”
It was possible because the information about me had not yet been solved by Signal. Now, I am very famous among freshmen, and my name is quite well known among seniors.
An image that is not good at all among common sense people.
Then how will I look in the eyes of the guys in the opposite camp?
“Hey, you know! Everyone knows! Who doesn’t know a superstar like you? Wow, nice to meet you.”
“What are you doing, Cheolmin? Don’t open the window right away.”
“huh? Ah, oke oke~ It was just a little stuffy.”
cognation.
In the eyes of the guys, I will look like that.
‘It’s obvious. Those 3rd years must be the real power among that group. I’m a second year student, but the guy who asked me to open the window must be higher in rank than that guy who opened the window.’
People who are accustomed to media such as dramas and movies often have one prejudice. There is a prejudice that all bullies who quarrel with the main character in the story are stupid.
It was an incredibly dangerous delusion.
‘You can’t do bad things if you’re stupid. Because it can be done with some sense.’
I can hear their eyeballs rolling from here.
How far did they really know about me? No matter how far I cross the line, will they tolerate it?
“hmm. The senior who told me to open the window there? What is your name?”
“I’m Ma Kang-jun.”
“aha. Senior Ma Kang-jun. I took a peek at it earlier, but it seems that the power is amazing. Still, I can’t do that by hitting my juniors. We share the same room, but it’s uncomfortable when we’re awkward. So, are you apologizing?”
From nob le mt l. com
Judging from the way he was condescending earlier, it must be a demand that would scratch his ego. It was because it was a cheeky request from a junior, not from anyone else.
“Jun Kang. Go apologize.”
The 3rd year student looked at Ma Kang-jun and chined.
“… … sorry. I was in a bad mood today.”
Kang-Jun Ma said as he approached Myeong-Jun Oh. It was a quiet voice.
“Yes.”
As he approached, Oh Myung-jun noticed and stood up quietly.
‘indeed. It’s a composition that that third year is holding both of them tightly.’
After all, the experience of rolling for more than 2 years at Signal is not going anywhere. The feeling was definitely different from that of the second year students who had clumsily accumulated experience.
From the moment I entered the room until now. That 3rd year student was the only one maintaining a combat readiness. It was a very elaborate and secret handling so that it was not even obvious.
‘Compared to Glene, the level of sophistication is far below, but… … .’
my eyes can never lie Because through the setting book, I know all the external phenomena that occur when I enter the state of warfare.
“Guys. Let’s go out and smoke.”
The 3rd grader stopped for a moment before passing me, gave me a look, and then opened his mouth again. It was a voice that was as low as possible so that only I could hear it.
“Kim Do-yoon.”
“yes. tell.”
“I know you a little. Before entering Signal, I heard that he was a broker who made a name for himself by raising and arranging parasitic children. Even on campus, it seemed like they were paying for their name and reputation.”
I just rolled my eyes and looked at him.
“Your mouth is a bit light.”
“Heh. to be sensitive. It just means they recognized you because you’re famous. It has no other meaning. I felt sorry if I hid my background as a broker in school. But don’t worry, those two over there are heavy-mouthed. The other one… … . What do you know?”
Saying that, he patted my shoulder twice and patted me heavily, and then he took two of his subordinates and left the inn.
“uh… . I am Doyun. Am I really heavy? I will never tell you what I just heard. So, please don’t hit me… … .”
A sigh came out of my mouth.
“Don’t hit me. And I’ll believe you, so don’t be afraid. It’s the same first year.”
It was a sigh that came from that 3rd grader’s unreasonable restraint.
This is their way.
A radical method to kill the spirit of those who are easy to see. Be careful with opponents who don’t think you should attack them recklessly. At the same time, he has an attitude that he will not back down just to take care of his pride.
“First of all, let’s unpack our luggage. I should go get breakfast.”
“It was meant to be. Ahahahaha… .”
“Is it okay that you were hit earlier? If you’re going to tell the teachers, I can be your witness.”
“no! it’s okay!”
“why. Are you afraid of retaliation?”
Oh Myung-jun shook his head with a confused face.
“I don’t want to fail without a proper challenge.”
“You’re paying attention to the fact that you could be eliminated from the tryouts the moment you go to press charges.”
“I don’t know anything else, but I heard your words very sincerely.”
“Your intuition is right. If you had gone to talk, you would have been notified of your rejection by the examiner for sure by today.”
It would have been possible to have a report filed for violence, or to give those seniors a suspension or other disciplinary action. Instead, he will be eliminated from the Meteor Shower Trials.
“I am… … I want to pass the selection unconditionally. Even if you have to put up with this level of humiliation, by all means.”
Was it a support position?
Unfortunately, among the first year students, Seol Chae-hwa and Min Seo-eun are holding on tight, so that dream will not come true.
then.
“hey. Myungjun. Don’t you want to take revenge on those seniors?”
At least I’ll have to get revenge.
“uh? uh, what does that mean?”
“It’s not like I’m going to secretly soak it somewhere, so don’t worry.”
“then?”
As they are assigned to the same room, they will continue to see each other face to face. It was difficult to stretch out and sleep comfortably without being noticed in this inn.
“You want them to pay you back the way they tried to eliminate you.”
The Meteor Shower Qualifier is a world of weak meat. Because the examiners knew that, there were times when they implicitly tolerated some of the violent behavior of students.
‘If I leave the contest, the teachers must be very venomous as the students come back with porridge every time.’
A weak student will be kicked out without even worth a second thought. Whether it was a fair report or whatever.
If you’re not going to survive, if you’re going to whine, just give up and go back.
Signal itself may have been forced into compulsory education, but it wasn’t like someone threatening to do it with a knife.
“Those seniors looked strong. I’m a supporter, so I’m not that strong… … .”
“Let me ask you one thing. If I were to survive until the last day, it would be ten days. I have to stay with them in this dorm for ten days. Wouldn’t it be stressful to live with tired kids like that even if you’re in the best condition?”
“Of course, don’t stress!”
“good. Then I’ll take revenge and kick you out. The same way they tried to kick you out.”
If I kick them out simply because I don’t like them, then I’m no different from them. However, I saw a comrade like me, a first grader, beaten unfairly.
If you look at this and just ignore it and say it’s not my business, it’s safe to say that humanity is dead.
‘Besides, I’m a non-smoker. He might have gone out because I noticed now, but when I’m gone, he’ll definitely be smoking here. I’ll never see that.’
That alone was enough to justify kicking them out.
“really? But are you okay? There are three seniors. I won’t be of much help. Would you like to go out alone? I’m a little worried.”
Myungjun Oh asks.
If you ask me if I’m okay, I’m fine.
No matter how long and rampant they are, if it’s not even mentioned in the original story, no. The fact that he is not a person in my memory is just an extra level.
If even those guys can’t handle it, they can’t handle the main episode. Oh, did I mention that I am worried?
‘Mmm. Are there any concerns?’
I was worried about how to cook it and what to choose because there were so many recipes.
