When I arrived at the training room on the 4th floor with two trainees and one dog, I immediately started teaching.
“Come on, quietly. Everyone Jeong-suk! Let’s start today’s class.”
Aji yawned with a spinal reflex as usual, then went to the back of the management room and lay down on her stomach. No matter what, you don’t even understand, let alone show the will to do so. If the difference between wisdom and intellect contained in language is so obvious, does it mean that human voices heard by dogs are equally accepted as dog noises heard by humans?
However, the gentleman are those who look for something to learn from seeing rude people. Even if dogs don’t show courtesy, humans can’t be the same. I spoke to the trainees in the most dignified manner possible.
“I’m going to tell you a crazy story today, so get ready to be amazed. Please prepare in advance for an enthusiastic applause.”
“If it’s not a big deal, daggers will fly instead of applause. try.”
The regressor responded sharply, wondering if being dragged was still terrifying. I can’t even joke properly. I’m afraid of the returner, so can you explain it to me?
He lamented that he was thrown into the abyss because he could not fall to the ground, and began to explain with a human and a corpse in front of him.
“To check your concentration, today we will change to an active participatory class. bottomless. Does anyone know what this word means? Yes, you are a Tirkanjaka trainee?”
The vampire, who raised the parasol slightly, answered in a relaxed tone.
“Isn’t that a term used in the Great Mother Protestant Church to mean something similar to hell? A horse of the land that was cursed by the Earth Mother and lost her support.”
“That’s right! We give 10 points to Tirkanjaka trainees! This score will be reflected in the ranking in my mind later, so save it well!”
After paying for my answer with a karate check, I shouted.
“you’re right. The abyss is the hell that many religions often describe, and among them, the hell of the Great Mother Protestantism. When describing the most terrifying space to punish sinners, this is the first concept that comes to mind by the Mama Boys of the Great Mother Protestant Church. Like Mama Boy, a place where mother is not present is hell. Oh my, it’s ugly.”

More than purgatory where sulfur burns, more than the underworld, where you must suffer for eternity.
Those who believed in Earth Mother Protestant were afraid of their feet falling off the ground. They did not seek fear from afar. A fall, the dizzy feeling of when your feet don’t touch the ground, and the horrific devastation it creates. That was the hell for the Zemo Protestants.
“By the way, the land that should exist in the doctrine of the Zemotheists. Hell, which had no impact because it was too simple for a hell that I had been trying to think of, appeared in reality after a certain event. That place is here, the abyss Tantalus.”
I tapped the floor with my foot. To emphasize the fact that the whole land on which we are treading belongs to the abyss.
“After the military plan was established to use the abyss, the hell of a major religion, as a prison, Tantalus was regarded as a prison for felons. Anyway, it’s not really a prison. A land that cannot be set on foot. An abyss that falls forever and has no choice but to die in solitude without time or space. That’s abysmal.”
But.
You should feel something strange here. I need to realize the sense of incongruity and point it out in my words.
Why, in the abyss, we can stand on our feet.
Transmitting knowledge unilaterally is not real education. It is the duty of the educator to help the learners think and reason for themselves.
After raising the topic, I read the thoughts of the trainees.
‘Oh oh. Interesting.’
‘This is the story you know so far. When are we going to talk about the structure of Tantalus?’
“bruise… .”
I shouldn’t expect They have absolutely no motivation to actively fit something!
Not even the last thought! Really barking!
“Everyone, aren’t you curious? How can we stand on our feet in such an abyss?”
“I wonder. Please explain.”
It’s like they don’t have any sense of improvement. Are you saying that it is not a baby bird that uses evil in its nest, and that you have to eat it in your mouth?
I grabbed the white chalk and headed to the blackboard. Two long vertical lines were drawn in the middle of the green chalkboard. it’s abysmal
“Come on, look. An abyss is basically a bottomless land, and therefore a deep pit that falls forever. So if someone falls into the abyss.”
The chalk is rotated and placed between the fingers, and magical power is raised from the elbow to process it. A faint alchemy light at the tip of the chalk, the proof that it contained mysteries, sparkles as if it melts into the air. I drew a symbolized person between the vertical lines with enchanted chalk.
The figure of a person spreads his arms and legs, looks down once, then looks straight ahead again. It fell like a comic book out of date.
“Since there is no way to reach the bottom, it will continue to fall. It will be a rare experience where death comes before collision.”
As if it had come from a real abyss, the figure of a person swung its limbs and fell to the bottom edge of the blackboard… disappeared under it.
Through a simple enchantment made with chalk, it is possible to move the drawings drawn with this chalk at will. It doesn’t require a lot of mana, so even a mana waste like mine can be used enough.
The military blackboard is double-sided. The picture of the person who went back to the back of the blackboard now climbed up the board upside down. Shortly thereafter, the figure of the person reappeared from the top of the blackboard and repeated the same fall as before.
Well, how are you? my technique.
‘It seems that moving pictures are common these days. It’s weird, but… It’s no big deal to see that no one is surprised.’
‘The delicacy of mana management is quite good. Heh, yes. Are you saying this is the basics?’
Even though I did the same tricks as other instructors would do, the reaction was very poor. Nothing comes out compared to the ball you put in. Even stocks that are capricious and incomparable will be more honest than you guys.
Sheesh. Now, don’t play tricks, let’s explain.
“But the abyss has no bottom, not without walls. There is no place to step on, but there are cliffs all around, right? And if there’s even a tiny chin somewhere on this wall. Or if you make a chin.”
I drew the protruding irregularities with chalk on the vertical lines. A picture of a person who had been falling all the while collided with the irregularities that just appeared and jumped up. The figure of a man struggling with his arms short compared to his head barely managed to set foot on the unevenness.
“Like this, can you hold on to me for a moment? Even though this place is an abyss, there will be no falling.”
Of course, there is not enough land to eat, sleep and live. Because human life requires minimal space.
However, as a corpse, the vampire, who only needed space to lie down, was puzzled by the picture.
“yes? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be possible to live a normal life?”
He shook his head at the vampire’s question.
“The curse of the Earthmother is not so soft. This is by no means a trick. If there is soil that can be stepped on, it is also land. In the abyss, that land will also one day erode and disappear beneath it.”
As soon as I finished my words, the irregularities drawn in chalk slowly flowed down as if melting, and the picture of the person standing on it fluttered anxiously and stuck to the wall. But it can’t be helped. The abyss is the cursed land. Mother of all people does not allow to stand on foot only here.
Eventually, the space to step on disappeared, and the picture of a person who lost a small haven of one span continued to fall again without any hope… .
“Well, so many adventurers threw themselves at the bottom of the abyss to find the legacy that was sleeping, but the rest of their fortune was turned into a legacy. They nailed the wall and tied themselves with ropes, but eventually they too became prey to the abyss when the entire land was sinking down. After the lives of fools who know if it is poison or food, people have finally gained the wisdom not to approach the abyss. However, our proud military has decided to use these qualities of the abyss as well.”
A large disk was drawn on the abyss drawn on the blackboard. Above it, a large five-story building and towering lamps were depicted. Unless you’re an idiot, you’d immediately know what that building was.
The vampire sighed a little.
“It is here.”
“yes. The military has built huge structures. How huge it is, a round structure that will cover this abyss like a manhole cover.”
“manhole?”
“Because you were a thousand years ago, you don’t know manholes. Just think of it as a well cap. anyway.”
He waved his fingers as if in command. Then the chalk-drawn picture of Tantalus slowly falls onto the abyss. With slow but heavy movements like a giant meteorite.
A thump-thump sounds like it’s ringing in my ears. There was no sound because it was just a chalk drawing, but it made me imagine even the sound without the details of the chalk powder scattering with a blunt movement.
Satisfied with the directing himself, he continued the explanation.
“To the military engineering corps, concrete is a universal stone. The ground was made out of it and a huge structure made by erecting pillars was placed on top of the abyss. On top of that, the prisoners were released. All of them who dared to set foot in a space cursed by the Earthmother had to sink beneath it.”
But.
Although the ground may sink. Concrete doesn’t. This is because it is not a collection of soil and sand, but a separate object.
“However, this concrete structure created by humans digging up, humans processing, humans pouring it into a frame, pouring it with steel as a framework, and designing each one by humans. Even if it is made from the product of the earth, it can never become the earth. After all, it is a huge structure that is ‘made’ by a ‘human’, that is, an object. Originally, it had to fall under the abyss, but it was wider than the width of the abyss, so both ends were draped over it. As a result, this tantalus does not fall, it just sinks. like this.”
The walls of the abyss flow down like muddy mud. At the same time, the large structure covering the abyss gradually sinks downward.
But nothing falls. The manhole cover does not fall down even if it flips over. It slides slowly while hanging on the walls on both sides, barely balancing and sinking.
“This is how we live on a sinking land. Like a piece of bread stuck in your throat.”
Let’s thank Gamma
If he hadn’t thought of going down there through the basement of the control room, he wouldn’t have found out about this. Thanks to you, my knowledge has increased.
The last knowledge you left behind. I will write well.
‘This land, all of this is artificial… . I thought it was foreign for a rock, but it’s amazing.’
The vampire looked at the blackboard and the ground with interest. He draped his ass on the coffin and even tapped the floor with his toes.
No, don’t be curious, but feel something.
