No Gossip, a Real Extra

64 – Retreat # 2

The next day.

When I woke up in the morning, there was a message.

“Oh my gosh. You just send me this as a message?”

It was a message from Instructor Lee So-ra. Retreat schedule file is attached. I received the file right away and tried to open it, but there is no viewer that can open the file.

“No f*ck.”

Do the damn thing.

I received an official document, but there is no viewer to open it? Don’t mobile phones have this feature these days? These bastards don’t seem to be doing any real technological advancement.

I was furious, but I couldn’t help it. I immediately opened the file after receiving the viewer while rubbing my sleepy eyes.

[Guideline for Ares Academy 1st Year Retreat]

“What?”

Is the date tomorrow?

Chairman, this personality is very hot. Are you thinking of sending it tomorrow? See. The duration of the retreat is… A bit longer than expected.

As I read through, I was able to know the approximate schedule. Well, it was a structure where I spent a lot of time while training and running the program, but I felt that this was a real retreat.

It is literally going to an outside facility for training. Anyway. Briefly, the contents are summarized as follows.

[Street Combat Training]

[Cadet Team Battle]

[Street Fight Subjugation Competition]

[Uninhabited Island Survival]

“But what about survival on an uninhabited island?”

Others are just training for monster subjugation using a hologram device in a set that assumes street fighting, learning how to fight using landmarks, and preparing for a battle with villains by actually having cadets battle each other. It was a normal training, but I didn’t know what survival on an uninhabited island was.

Do you really do this?

As I read, it seems that it is a program that is executed to cultivate the ability to survive in cases where survival training is conducted on an uninhabited island, such as in a dungeon or operation in a remote area of the earth.

The intention is good.

“Hmm… Geuncheol? Are you awake?”

From the side, Sihoo rubbed his eyes and turned to look at me.

“Uh. Bring the schedule for the retreat. They say you’re leaving tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?”

“Uh. Let’s see. The meeting time is… Hey. Wake up. They say we meet in the afternoon at the park near the school.”

It seems that they gathered together and listened to the explanation, and set off right there the next morning.

“Ah, that’s annoying.”

“hehehehe, that’s right.”

I called Leona in the rain.

“Le Ona-san?”

– Ah… What’s going on?

“Are you awake now?”

-I woke up because of the phone call.

“Look at the message. The instructor sent the schedule for the retreat. They say they’re leaving tomorrow, but they told me to gather at the park by afternoon.”

– No, what is that? Are you saying this all of a sudden?

“Uh. Hang up then.”

I immediately hung up and stood up.

I need to wash up.

* * *

Well, I went to the park and listened to a simple explanation. I felt like this was just a pre-convocation during vacation.

Listen to precautions and prepare supplies.

After going back, I prepared for the retreat, slept through the night, and woke up, finally it was the day of the retreat. After waking up early, we got ready, got Leona’s car, and headed to the other meeting place, the park.

“Huh, to be honest, I’m looking forward to something. Street combat training. I heard that the facilities there are very realistic.”

Leona, who was sitting next to her, said with a look of anticipation.

“Is that so? Why don’t you have something like that in Europe?”

“There is, but I heard Korea is doing better. It’s my first time going there too.”

“Draw?”

Ah, but that’s it. I heard that Korea has the best academy facilities in the world. So, Leona goes to school here. Even though her mother is Korean.

“Hey. But how do you train to defeat monsters? Any guesses?”

“There’s that. A portable hologram device. You’ll know it when you see it, right?”

“It’s full of amazing things. A hologram is omnipotent, omnipotent.”

In Korea, where I used to live, holograms have never been commercialized.

“Geuncheol-ah. Just looking at him, he seems to have lived in the countryside somewhere.”

“Anit! Ishihu! I can’t use that word!”

“Neither be quiet!”

After chatting with her friends, we arrived at the rendezvous point.

The cadets are already starting to show up. Looking at it, it looks like we can gather over there. The bus we are going to ride is parked over there… But what is it? That one?

“What are all those things? Aren’t they armored vehicles?”

“Geuncheol-ah. That’s an armored bus.”

“An armored bus?”

It was not an ordinary bus. What kind of armored bus should we call it? It is more like an armored vehicle than a bus.

What kind of buses are there?

“It’s thick armor and equipped with a shield generator. I have to go a little far, so I have no choice but to use something like that. It’s one of the safest vehicles in the world.”

“Really…”

It’s really strange that something like that exists.

“Did you get attacked in the middle of something?”

“Well, I haven’t heard of such an example, but any villain could try to attack if he put his mind to it, right? Terrorizing a bus wouldn’t be particularly difficult.”

“It’s bloody.”

In other words, it was a bus made for the safety of the cadets. If such heavy armor had a shield generator attached to it, it would certainly be safe.

“No, but I don’t think Korea is such a bad place.”

“There is no security for the sudden actions of villains. Doesn’t crime happen just because there are police in the world?”

“That’s right.”

All those who will commit a crime do it.

In fact, this is a part that can be known just by looking at Internet news. Because things like villains terrorizing private houses or kidnapping children with superhuman powers and running away happen.

I heard that the execution ceremony for villains is also held once every quarter.

I admire you so much.

“Hey. Kim Geun-cheol.”

A familiar Iljin woman, Yuuri, walked around with her hands in her pockets and called me.

“Aren’t you saying hello?”

“Is this glass glass glass? Nice to meet you.”

“What? Yu, Yuri Yuri? This bastard is saying something strange again. Didn’t you skip swordsmanship practice just because you were taking a break?”

“Hasn’t I learned anything from you yet?”

I haven’t learned swordsmanship from Yuri yet.

“That’s why I don’t do swordsmanship except wield it alone. I’m practicing other things. Mana control or dashing.”

“Yeah. Well. That’s good enough…”

Uri, who was strangely speechless, hesitated.

“What? Why?”

“No. I should have shown you the swordsmanship, but you haven’t been able to for a while. That’s why things went strangely…”

“Hey. I can’t help it. The gate incident has also happened. How can we see it? We?”

“Is that so?”

No need to be sorry. In the first place, Yuri was just one-sidedly looking after my swordsmanship. Put on hold for the time being. However, Yuri smiled as if she was relieved by my words.

“Rather than that. Kim Geun-cheol said you found something?”

“hehehehe, that? Hey. I’ll tell you later. Look.”

Instructor Lee So-ra was aligning the cadets.

“Now, now! Everyone, take your seats! We will board the armored bus after personnel check!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The cadets answered vigorously. I went straight to my seat and stood. It seems that rumors about me have spread to Yuri as well.

“Stand according to the number! According to the number! Enter according to the number!”

Well, I went in according to the number.

But when I went to my seat, I saw a familiar guy with light blue hair sitting in the window seat.

“Hey Mr. Liu? Did you sit next to me again?”

“I sat first, and you came second!”

“Does this bastard like me? Stalkers don’t like it, damn it.”

“I don’t know what you just heard my explanation about!”

Seeing Mr. Ryu yelling at me, I felt like I was going to look around because it was funny. Liu Chunhui has a taste for teasing.

“Okay.”

Anyway, I sat next to Mr. Ryu and fastened my seat belt. Mr. Ryu was desperately looking out the window.

“Hey.”

Looking at this bastard’s face, one thought comes to mind.

“Rather than that, when am I going to your house?”

“Damn it! Can’t you stop saying that!”

“hehehehe, hey. What should I do? The elders of your family invited you.”

I was definitely invited by Mr. Ryu’s older sister.

But I don’t think those were just words. So what do you do? Gotta go I can tell the difference between what I said as a greeting and what I said for real.

This has to go.

“Look. You know that, right? That’s why I’m worried about when to go.”

“Ouch! You look like this damn sister!”

“Is that what you want to say to your sister?”

“Never mind!”

Mr. Liu yelled again.

“I’m still calling every day to ask when I’ll bring it…!”

Look.

I have to go here. As you can see, he is excited because his unsociable younger brother has his first friend. But that older sister is a rather strong hero, isn’t it? This has to go

—-Brush.

Anyway, I took out snacks and drinks and set them up.

“Ryu, would you like something to eat?”

“I don’t want to look at junk food like that!”

“Oops. Then I have to eat it all by myself. I won’t give it to you today.”

ㅡ Wagsak.

Because I’m eating sweets like that.

“Then, from now on, let’s start at the training venue. Don’t talk too loudly. Especially Ryu Chun-hui and Kim Geun-cheol. Their voices are the loudest.”

“Why did I get into a fight with this guy…!”

“Oh, Instructor! I will be quiet!”

Then let’s go!

ㅡ Boo!

“Oh.”

Is this an armored bus?

Isn’t riding comfort a joke?

Furthermore, the bus driver was carrying a submachine gun. But what about the right hand cyborg? Is that a real cyborg? I think Korea has changed surprisingly.

“Hey, Ryu.”

“…”

“By the way, where is your house?”

“Never mind, you Taliban guy.”

The guy answered while biting his molars.

“hehehehe, why. Are you afraid I will terrorize you?”

“Don’t talk.”

“That’s because they don’t.”

“Be quiet!”

But it came to mind because of the terrorism, Mr. Ryu was literally the son of a rich family. Was that why he suffered from the threat of terrorism?

Suddenly, I felt that way.

“Hey. Come to think of it, you said you run the Ryuseong Group.”

“…”

“Is that why? Are the villains terrorizing buildings or are you sensitive to that part?”

Although Mr. Ryu kept ignoring my words.

“…The villain has never been a terrorist.”

Still, the answer is given.

“But what?”

Isn’t there ever a ‘time’ of a villain? It sounds like he’s been terrorized by something.

“Have you ever been terrorized? Then, have you been attacked by someone other than the villain?”

“I would have told you not to care.”

“You’re curious. Tell me. I’ll give you this.”

Point and say Pringles.

“…”

Mr. Ryu, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.

“It’s not my time. It’s my father’s time.”

“Oh. I opened my mouth for sweets.”

“I’m not specifically talking about sweets! I’m saying this because you’re going to be talking all day!”

“Yes, yes.”

Let’s say yes.

“My father was often terrorized.”

It’s heavy from the start.

“At that time, I heard that there were many worms who insisted on oppressing the Awoken. It is said that terrorism against the Awoken occurred frequently, so that must be the influence.”

“What? Really? Awakened being terrorized?”

When I asked that question, Mr. Ryu asked back with a puzzled face.

“Do you not even know the history?”

“No, I don’t know.”

“Study! You idiot!”

Finally, the world where you have to study if you don’t know has come!

“Then do a quick search.”

I immediately took out my phone and turned on the Internet. Good night. What to search for Awakener, the keyword you just heard. Terror. A long ago. Let’s search for something like this.

“Oh. It’s right there.”

An article about an Awoken terror incident that happened in the past came out.

“It actually happened.”

The terror was real.

The background of the era is right after the end of Dimension War.

At the time, it is said that ordinary people in power feared that superhuman Awakeners, who had rapidly emerged as war heroes, would reign. It was a little after the war, so there were awakenings running around, and there were frequent accidents by superhuman veterans pickled with PTSD.

Anyway, ordinary people in power used such issues to actively publicize the dangers of Awakeners and preach that they should limit their rights, and as a result, it is said that the anti-Awakener ideology spread nationwide.

Accordingly, it was at this time that laws to oppress the Awakened appeared one after another. The Awakeners, who were war heroes who saved the country, have become objects of fear.

In the process, there were also many hate crimes against the Awakened, most of which were terrorism. Terrorism such as throwing grenades at the houses of the Awoken or shooting guns at night.

Of course, ordinary people could not be opponents of the Awoken who slaughtered countless monsters during the Dimension War, and most of the terrorists were said to have been slaughtered alive.

Like a monster.

However, as such incidents occurred frequently, it seems that the awakened people were treated as more insane killers. It has become like a bomb that still cannot escape from the war.

As a result, the political world tried to tighten the awakened people even more, and at that time, the current president, S-rank Awakened Kim Ik-soo, staged a coup with his colleagues and carried out a great purge, and then seized power and reigned as a despot.

Ironically, the ordinary people in power who caused this incident turned out to be exactly what they were worried about.

From then until now, the monarch has reigned as an absolute power.

“This is terrible. Why did you oppress the war heroes like this?”

I don’t understand.

When I expressed my doubts, Mr. Ryu said while making a small sigh.

“Now you must have accumulated culture.”

There is a family history like that, so maybe your kid had something like that? Even I would have been furious if I had heard that my dad had been in a terrorist attack.

“Your father is a living witness of history.”

“Huh.”

At those words, Ryu’s face brightened.

“To realize that now. You are truly an absurdly ignorant sea cucumber.”

“Crazy man for real.”

I praised Ji’s dad. Did I compliment Ji?

It’s funny jjambbong, very.
