246 – Abduction – The reason she lives 2
The training itself wasn’t too difficult.
With their faces covered in camouflage cream, this training, carried out in a way to avoid the training drones patrolling the surroundings with a sense similar to that of the Abyss, was simply going to the target point in terms of content.
During the fight, the fight is minimal, and in the process, simple rubber bullets are used instead of real bullets.
In addition, even the volley fire drill at the end
There is nothing particularly dangerous, and since this level of training was child’s play compared to actual combat, I only had the idea of ending it moderately and roughly, and it actually went that way.
“Haa.. Seriously, why do we have to do something like this?”
“Even if you don’t have anything like this, you can easily defeat the Abyss.”
“For those of us who have even succeeded in A-class missions, this is rather an insult.”
The hunters of the 28th guild grumbled and complained throughout the training.
All of them were S-class hunters who were rated higher than me in terms of combat power, but at a glance, it was possible to know that their personalities were not that good from their attitude.
“Hey Adjutant, where’s the fastest way from here?….. Don’t be a jerk, why do we have to take pictures of such small places one by one? Call me for a shortcut if you don’t want to go back and squeeze it.”
A person known as the Guild Master of the 28th Guild.
She was talking in a half-threatening tone to the adjutant who was analyzing the situation and giving instructions over the radio.
Apparently, the training route, which had to go round and round, seemed to be quite unsatisfactory. In response, she was demanding that the route be modified at will and a faster route be provided.
As a training officer, I originally had to put restrictions on this kind of behavior.
But… honestly, I didn’t really like this current training situation, and in addition, the other person was a S-class hunter with a higher position than me. I was observing the situation.
In the first place, whether the training ended well or not, it didn’t matter to me, who would be leaving for the next world anyway.
As a training assistant, the score would be reduced, but there was no reason for a dying person to worry about grades.
In addition, if this incident became a serious problem, even though he was a training instructor, he could appropriately hand over the responsibility by asking how an A-class hunter could rebel against an S-class hunter and even the guild master.
To give an analogy, it was a similar picture to listening to reservists hugging a training assistant.
‘Looks like they don’t seem to care about that either… Are they people like me who gave up on life?
So, as a result, the training itself was decided to move through a slightly rough but fast path thanks to the so-called ‘gapjil’ of the 28th guild master, and as a result, what was already trivial ended more quickly.
It’s relatively rough, but the hunters here are all beings with abilities that transcend humans.
There was no problem as they were able to move freely even after jumping off a cliff.
“arrival.”
“Then we go back.”
The hunters of the 28th Guild walk away after talking in voices filled with the feeling of being annoyed.
Seeing them like this, I let out a small sigh and looked at the others as they were.
“Anyway, since we’ve reached the target, this is the end of our training. thank you for your effort.”
“Ah yes.”
“You worked hard.”
Hunters return after saying goodbye with such an awkward feeling
After looking at them indifferently, I, who was left alone, slowly looked back.
What I could see was the training ground that was in disarray as a result of the last shooting drill.
Anyway, after the training in other areas is over, the disposal team members will come and clean it up, but it doesn’t look very good.
After noticing them, I sat down on a chair on the side and started writing a rough training report.
‘Although the person called the guild master is selfish… Still, the skills of the 28 guild hunters aren’t bad. His shooting is almost perfect, and he handled his targets well in his own way in the battles along the way.’
I sat alone in the corner of the rendezvous point, concentrating on writing a report for a while, feeling a bit surprised that my temperament itself wasn’t bad.
at that time..
“Hey… excuse me.”
“… ?”
The next moment, a man’s voice was suddenly heard.
As I recognized the fact that the opponent was not a Hunter, I looked in the direction of Sori.
Standing there was a Korean man in his mid-twenties with a relatively normal face.
His appearance was relatively normal, and he had a tired expression in many ways. Judging from his outfit, he looked like an adjutant rather than an ordinary soldier.
“who are you?”
I expressed my doubts about the fact that the adjutant who was supposed to be in the operation room, not the hunter or the disposal team, had come all the way here, and at my reaction, the man said with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Lee Jin-hyun, who is in charge of the former 28 guild’s adjutant. It’s no different, our guild Mars..hmm..hmm.. One of the guild’s hunters dropped a cartridge case, so I came to find it.”
“..Ah yes. The shell casings are probably somewhere over there. Around that time, the 28th guild had shooting training.”
“thank you.”
After bowing his head at those words, the man began to walk toward it with a weak staggering appearance.
I couldn’t figure out why I had to ask my adjutant to collect the shells.
All I could guess was the idea that this might be the ‘dunggungi’ that exists in the Korean military.
‘I didn’t seem to have a good impression during the operation, but… the guild master of the 28th Guild seems to have many problems in many ways.’
While thinking about that, I looked at the face of the lieutenant, who at first glance seemed to be being tormented by the guild master all along.
‘Lee Jin-hyeon… did you say that? I don’t know, but it looks like he’s going through a lot of trouble.’
Even at night, his appearance, looking haggard and haggard, was enough to arouse a feeling of pity even in me, no matter how dehydrated I was.
A shape that seems to express how hard human life is with the whole body.
The person lay down on the spot I had told him about and began to pick up the shell casings that were randomly rolling around on the floor.
I couldn’t figure out why the shell casings, which should have been stored quietly in the pockets at the same time as they were fired, were rolling around on the floor.
No one knows if there was a problem with the pocket… or if the owner of the cartridge case spilled it to feed the lieutenant as part of it.
Anyway, I was watching the man who made me feel bitter even though it wasn’t my job for a while.
at that time..
“… !”
“uh?”
A sudden, creepy feeling the next moment.
In response, I reflexively picked up the training gun I had leaned on one side.
The exact reason was unknown.
In addition, I also thought that it was strange to feel this way in this training ground, which is connected to the deep forest but is located in the rear area.
But… nevertheless, at this moment, my senses, which had been rolling over and over on the battlefield of life and death, suddenly started screaming.
‘What the hell…’
Confusion and tension began to wrap around me at the same time in an incomprehensible situation.
Meanwhile,
At the same time, I noticed one more thing.
The adjutant who was picking up the shell casings next to me.
That his eyes, which had apparently been dying just a moment ago, suddenly began to sharpen like sharpened knives.
“Be careful. This seems pretty dangerous.”
I wondered how the lieutenant, who was not even Hunter, knew about this fact.
However, I agree with what he said.
It’s not just an intuition…
At this moment, through the image of a black being walking out of the forest.
