“This is where we will train.”
As we made our way to the rendezvous point, Harry muttered and looked up at the four-story prefabricated temporary building.
I, too, raised my head and let out a small exclamation.
“Yeah, I thought it was just a training facility… … .”
“Oh, I took out the blueprints and put them in.”
Harry took what I said.
It was because the building I saw from afar when I entered was not a multipurpose tactical principal, but a building I had seen and heard during the briefing.
It wasn’t built with concrete or proper building wood, but like Harry said, everything was the same.
Not just the building, but the size, location, and number of windows.
Also, the panel looked like new.
There were traces of dust or glue from the construction process, but there were no signs of fading from rain or sunlight.
It must have been newly installed for this operation.
“also… … .”
I was amazed again.
I experienced a similar situation while living as a mercenary, and there was a job during my active duty as a special forces soldier, but it was not to this extent.
Although the training ground was customized, it was not this meticulous.
Usually, the ceiling was open or the false walls were installed to mimic passages or compartments.

Literally, only tactical training is possible.
On the other hand, the training ground in front of me was different from those fake ones.
It was a four-story building with both a ceiling and a roof.
while watching this.
“Chief, does this happen often?”
Harry asked Jake, who had approached before he knew it, and a calm answer came back.
“Not often.”
“Oh, you mean there was. Even the team leader did it himself… That’s great, I thought you would do this.”
“At that time, I thought it was not enough to do this.”
“Isn’t that great?”
It was when Harry, who had heard Jake’s words, asked in surprise.
The grave words fell down.
“There is a secret room. It was a place where one person could hide, and the guy there ruined everything. The thought that the preparation for the operation was so great quickly disappeared.”
“… … !”
I looked at it in surprise without knowing it, but Jake was looking at me.
It was just when I was about to say sorry.
Jake was talking.
“But, it will be different now. Because there was no way back then.”
“Ah, um… That’s right, since you have a senior, you’ll easily subdue that level of trap.”
“Don’t be shy, Lee. Compared to your skills, these expectations are lighter than the cost of a Girl Scout cookie.”
Harry nodded at Jake’s words, and a blank laugh naturally broke out.
“ha ha ha… … .”
It tickled me to hear the compliment, but it was because those were the words that came out of Jake’s mouth.
It wasn’t a character that expected me not to be burdened.
He was truly a man among men who did not lean on anyone easily.
He was a Viking from his appearance, and his strength and behavior were no different.
However, at some point, he was showing me a different side of himself.
His expression and tone were the same, so it wasn’t particularly noticeable, but the way he treated him was a little different from what he is now.
It was as if they regarded me as an attack helicopter capable of close air support or a tank capable of breaking through enemy lines.
While I was thinking about that, Jose’s voice interrupted.
“Uhm, then are those all the girls’ eyes asking for cookies? It’s very creepy and heinous… … .”
When I looked around at those words, several Delta Force members were indeed staring at me.
In the middle of the conversation, the person I was talking to made eye contact or gestured, and just like José said, everyone seemed to be expecting my skills.
Of course, not all were favourable.
From the beginning, there were people who didn’t mix words, and there were people who were expressionless or looked at me disapprovingly.
There was a lot of discomfort, not knowing if it was racism or territorialism.
Of course, nothing happened.
It wasn’t long before I stayed, and the legend of Delta, Jake, was by my side.
There was no one who would come and argue or be careless.
However, soon after the training started, it started to show.
“It doesn’t look like anything… … .”
“How did you get that rumor?”
“Maybe it was inflated. Like the CIA bastards are superficial.”
Words came out while learning the various infiltration routes, the engagement process with various variables, and the exit route.
It was worth it.
It was because he only learned how to move with a model gun made of plastic instead of a real gun.
It also took quite a while.
It was because it wasn’t just going around a course at a multipurpose tactical training ground.
In fact, it seemed to go around dozens of laps.
It was because he entered the patient room on the 4th floor in various ways using ladders, ropes, and stairs, and discussed how to engage the enemy while changing the method of encountering enemies there, and there were not just one or two routes to exit.
To put it simply, it felt like learning all the means and methods of entering and exiting a building.
One day wasn’t enough.
“It’s the first time I’ve spent a day with a model… … .”
“I can do this for a few more days.”
“is it so? It wouldn’t be bad to just do it with live fire… Do you always do it this way?”
When we were training together, we had never held a model gun made of plastic.
I trained with live ammunition and real guns.
It was dangerous to move while shooting right from the start, but it was because the team members worked well together and their skills were good.
I looked at Jake, and he shook his head.
“Unless it’s a show, I don’t pick up toys like this.”
“yes? Then why… … ?”
“Because it’s not hot.”
“ah… was that it? Are you afraid you might fire a shotgun?”
“Yes, there are other TFs over there, right?”
As he said, there were other TFs who came to support the field besides us.
Among them, besides Rachel, there were also people who were female, former military policemen or field agents.
They must be good enough, but in Delta’s eyes, it was cause for concern.
Delta Force was the place where most 2nd tier special forces members went back after drinking water.
“Then I’ll have to wait a few more days to get you some cookies.”
It was time to respond to Jake and Jose’s words.
“Damn, did you give me this boy scout toy for that reason? It’s ridiculous. Does an eighteen-year-old kid worry about that in a country that buys guns?”
It was Andrei.
He approached, throwing a plastic blue gun into the box.
“Team leader, then you’re saying you’re going to do this again tomorrow?”
“No, I’ll finish my afternoon schedule and do it again at night.”
“You carry that even at night?”
“Yes, because it is more dangerous at night.”
“Damn it. Even if they’re vagrants, they’ve been rolling on the floor for years, so can we just ignore them like this?”
Andrei frowned, and Jake shook his head.
“If I do it right, how many people will die before the training is over, do you want that?”
“You’re scaring me, damn it. Even though Delta is f*cking great, it’s not the Q course we’re doing, is it?”
“That’s the special force course. Delta is different.”
“Otherwise or not, what else do you do with this toy… … .”
“If you can’t do it, you can fall in, no, it’s better to quit as soon as possible. It’s troublesome to convince you every time you train, so I’ll send you home quietly.”
“Ha, instead of punching this time, f*cking threats?”
“What did I threaten?”
“Aren’t you going to knock me out and send me off? There’s no way I’ll go quietly like a frightened recruit.”
“Well, that makes sense.”
Jake nodded as if he hadn’t thought of it before asking.
“So what is the answer?”
Then he looked at Andrei, and he looked amazing when he was staring at him.
‘Stay with that… … ?’
It was because Jake was frowning.
Even with a frown.
It wasn’t just a rough level, it was a look that would make most ordinary people tired.
It was because Jake, who looked like a Viking and looked scary even when he was still, was even distorting his face.
I felt like I would break out in a cold sweat too.
However, Andrei was facing such a face up close.
It wasn’t even just watching.
It seemed like they were fighting back as if they weren’t going to support it.
‘After all, it’s not an ordinary kkang… … .’
I and everyone in the team risk their lives on the battlefield, but it was definitely different from Andrei.
Because he had a broken shoulder from being hit by Jake.
It’s impossible to look at Jake with these glowing eyes, but he was facing Jake as if he never did.
By the time I wonder if I’ll get another hit.
Before long, Andrei’s voice came out in a low voice.
“If I wasn’t going to do it, I would have thrown it in the first place.”
He nodded his head.
It was the same as Andrei’s appearance in the game.
A character who is trustworthy and faithful to given training and strategy, but whose personality is not normal.
However, his words did not end.
“… But if you’re a team leader, you should take steps to reduce these embarrassing games. Are you sure this idiot is fun? Or are you condoning it because it’s what Delta is doing? is this normal? No, I feel like sh*t because I feel like I’ve become an asshole. So, I want you to take action as a team leader to make me feel less f*cked up? What does team leader Jake Russell think?”
I was hesitant to say what I had to say until the end and respond.
Even though I knew everything about Jake, it was because it was difficult to predict everything from misaligned focus to fists.
If you take one hit here, Andrei will collapse as it is.
I thought it wouldn’t happen, but I was worried inside, but luckily Jake’s hand didn’t move as I had hoped.
And he answered briefly.
“Yeah, take action.”
“… … !”
As I flinched at the end of the slightly dramatic conversation, I heard applause from the side.
“That friend is really great, but was he originally like that? I don’t think it was like this when I was operating before… Was it because he was demoted from a team leader to a subordinate? Isn’t your temper a joke?”
As Jose muttered as he clapped, he heard Harry’s sympathetic voice.
“That’s right. That’s not normal. The team leader is a person whose desire to fight disappears just by looking at his face, but to overcome that.”
“I must have insulted God in front of him.”
“omg… Aren’t you crazy?”
After Harry’s surprised words, I shrugged.
“I heard that normal people can’t come to places like this?”
“that… Isn’t it different? I would never do that in front of my team leader or seniors. In front of the monsters… … .”
“Am I on the same level as the team leader?”
“No, I am more afraid of you. The team leader’s fighting ability is also excellent, but isn’t it impossible to snip from 2.4 miles (about 3.8 km) like you did?”
I was talking about what happened in the Tarile Islands.
To be precise, when he hit the nuclear development researcher on top of the cargo ship’s ladder.
“That was a bit difficult. I had some luck.”
Even thinking about it now, it doesn’t make sense.
It wasn’t easy even with my characteristics, and I wasn’t sure when I shot it.
However, I couldn’t answer properly to the next words.
“Does the equator of 1.6 miles (about 2.5 km) do the same?”
“… It was worth shooting.”
“So. You are the only one who can say that.”
This, too, was talking about the work in the Tarile Islands.
The day I hit the mortar operator in hiding.
Naturally, there was nothing else to say.
From nob le mt l dot com
Like I said to Harry, it was because it was worth shooting.
In the midst of this silence, Jake spoke.
“Yes, Lee. I’ll shoot you with live ammunition soon.”
“Ah, yes. yes?”
“You didn’t even consider it. Don’t be offended, I didn’t treat you like Andrei.”
“What am I so… … .”
When I answered, Andrei shook his head at me.
“I don’t know if you’re trying to hurt my feelings, but that’s what the team leader said. You can’t give Lee a plastic grip. It’s like putting blank bullets into a high-end weapon… … .”
While laughing bitterly at those words.
Jake turned to the Delta Force.
And after a brief conversation, he came back and quickly presented the results.
“Starting tonight, I will be disqualified from real guns, and I will start training with tracer bullets.”
“Then, is the other side okay?”
When I chinned to the TF with some women, Jake shook his head.
“No, we’ll just do it.”
“It sounds like Delta isn’t even doing it… … .”
“They said they were swapping out gun options. So we decided to do it first, just to demonstrate it.”
“It’s a demonstration in front of Delta… … .”
I laughed a little, but Andrei was chattering next to me.
“Training has begun, but an option change? I’m not even a Marine, what’s going on… Troops go around the same everywhere.”
By the time I heard that, I laughed briefly.
A familiar face appeared.
Someone who was neither Delta Force nor our team was waving at me.
“Nice to meet you, Lee. See you again.”
It was Philip Edman, a Korean-American liaison officer who spoke no Korean.
