chapter 3
Episode 3-Gubo
I put down the book I was holding and looked at Park Soo-hyun as naturally as possible.
“Why? Can’t I read the book?”
Why did Park Soo-hyun come looking for me?
No, why did I come to find the book I was reading?
‘Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like a hot bath at all.’
Apocalypse Escape also has classic plays.
When I just entered the academy, reading rare books hidden in the library and receiving small buffs was also a kind of standard, but fortunately, Park Soo-hyun also went around looking for books to play the standard. .
I don’t know how Park Soo-hyun, who obviously doesn’t know what will happen in the future, came to know about the existence of these books.
But at least I could tell that he was a guy who knew the rules and moved.
It doesn’t matter how you know.
The important thing is that my chances of survival go up.
“There’s nothing I can’t do. But it bothers me a little that the three books you borrowed are exactly the three books I was looking for.”
Park Soo-hyun walked over to me.
“Are you a human of the same category as me?”
“Shouldn’t I tell you what type of person you are, my friend? If you ask me after everything is cut off like that, I won’t be able to give you the answer you want.”
“I’m asking if you’re the type to receive instructions from something unknown.”
Dara being instructed by something unknown…
“How do you get instructions?”
I also spoke as if I was receiving instructions, and Park Soo-hyun answered right away.
“Sometimes the urge to do this hits me hard.”
‘Innocent bastard.’
Do you tell me right away that you ask?
No matter how much he is the main character, it seemed inevitable since he hadn’t seen a social work yet.
“I’m not like that.”
“What if?”
“I read it because I just wanted to read it. I didn’t receive instructions like that like you.”
I read And In front of him.
This time, as before, the contents of the book appeared in front of my eyes, but I just passed them over.
[I read the book .]
[Experience has increased slightly.]
[The chance of survival increases slightly when standing in front of a powerful being.]
[I read the book .]
[Experience has increased slightly.]
[The survival rate against monsters has increased slightly.]
After reading all the books, I picked them up and held them out to Park Soo-hyun.
“If you want to read it, read it, but return it yourself.”
I returned to my class leaving behind Park Soo-hyun, who frowned at me.
– Boom!!
“What did you just say?”
Once inside the class, the fight had been going on for quite some time.
Somehow, since it was the first day of admission and there were a lot of young people who were confident in their own abilities, it seemed that there was a high percentage of small pride fights using their bodies.
As this happens often enough to be called always, I turned my attention away from them and thought about what I should do in the future.
“What are you guys doing?”
The two cadets fighting behind the scenes were eventually subdued only after the instructor stepped forward.
“The cadets who fought are also a problem, but I was just watching it…”
I heard the instructor’s nagging in one ear and let it out in the other.
It was a story that I had seen dozens of times so far, and even if I heard it, it was meaningless anyway.
“I want the entire Class A to run 10 laps around the playground. Please build bonds with the cadets while running.”
…f*ck?
******
-Tup
A sand vest full of sand was put on my body.
‘Aww…’
I was given a canter for 10 laps for a ridiculous reason to build a bond, but since they are awakened people, they don’t do it in normal situations.
Since one lap of the playground is about 400m, even just 10 laps would be a considerable distance of 4km.
-Cheolluck.
If you moved with your bare body.
Unable to withstand the weight of the 40kg vest that was pressuring my body, I sat down on the floor.
‘f*ck… It’s filthy heavy.’
Even if you are an Awakener, you will get tired if you walk around the playground with a weight of about 40kg.
The problem is that 40kg is heavier than my weight.
“Ah…”
After hitting the vest with my hand, I stood up with all my might, and I was able to stand up again.
‘Take this and spin it 10 times?’
That was nonsense.
I think I’m about to collapse after barely taking one step, not even one lap…
“Does it look very difficult?”
“It’s really hard.”
Yang Ga-hyun came up to me and said.
‘Yes, I’d rather come now.’
When you get close, you’ll have to show a ferocious appearance.
“Can I help you?”
“Do you think the instructor will stay still?”
At my blunt words, Yang Ga-hyeon grinned.
“Do you remember what the instructor said earlier?”
“To build a bond?”
“Uh, if it’s 20kg, everyone can do ten laps, but if it’s 40kg, there will definitely be kids who fall out. Maybe the instructor expected us to help the weaker kids?”
“From my point of view, it seems like it was just a punishment to increase our stamina.”
“It could be something like that.”
I walked slowly, suffering from wobbly legs even when I stood still.
“I don’t need your help, so run on the playground.”
“If you’re having a hard time, just tell me and I’ll help you right away.”
‘Ask for help if you’re having a hard time…’
[Sudden Quest]
[Complete the race on your own.]
[Reward: A small amount of experience]
I looked at the quest column filling up the field of vision in the lower left corner from earlier.
‘I don’t know why the quest pops up for me, but I can’t give up the experience.’
Actually, it was very strange that a quest popped up for me.
Not only quests, but also using the status window and reading system was awkward.
These were originally things that only the main character could use.
I was skipping the status window and reading, thinking it was just a perk of possessing, but if the unexpected quest popped up, I liked that the things that only happened to Park Soo-hyun, the main character of this game, also happen to me.
“Whoa… Whoa…”
I didn’t have to think deeply about why I was seeing the status window or why the quest was popping up.
In order to survive in this damn world, I needed to make the best use of everything I was given.
– Wedge fluid.
At the same time as someone passed by me, numerous cadets passed by me.
I haven’t even turned a third of a turn yet, but everyone seems to have already turned a turn.
“Whoa… Whoa…”
Every time I walked with my teeth clenched, my full breath gushed out.
It was quite difficult to breathe properly because the scarf and nose and mouth were completely covered, but I couldn’t stop it.
Because there was anxiety that the moment I stopped once, I would fall down and not be able to get up, so I walked with my teeth gritting even when a heavy weight pressed down on my shoulders.
Unbelievably weak for an Awakener, his body couldn’t speed up no matter how much he tried.
“Haa…”
I hadn’t even run two laps, but my legs were shaking and my shoulders were about to break.
Unknowingly, tears flowed from the unbearable pain.
‘f*ck the f*ck.’
Even though I walked endlessly while swearing in my heart, I hadn’t even reached the second lap yet.
“Can I help you?”
Yang Ga-hyun’s voice was heard in the blurred vision.
Judging by the fact that she took off her vest and was walking comfortably, it seems that this b*tch has completed ten laps.
“All right.”
“It doesn’t mean you’re good enough. This training is training to see our bond. We can’t just leave a weak kid like you alone.”
It’s not training, it’s punishment.
The word came right into my mouth, but I couldn’t say it carelessly because I thought something would flow backwards from above.
“I’ll help you.”
Yang Ga-hyeon slammed the hand he was reaching out to me.
“Don’t f*ck with me. I don’t need any help.”
“This is a team play…”
“It’s team play, so I’m going to do it.”
Is it because my head is foggy from the weight?
My head didn’t roll well.
“If you’re weak, you shouldn’t think of getting help, you should think of becoming strong. Bonds between cadets? Help the weak? More important than that is the thought that I won’t be a nuisance to this group. It’s not like we’re fighting, so how can we get along with you if we can’t do simple things like this alone?”
When I think about it later, I wonder if I said it for nothing.
Because I spat out words full of conviction for no reason, it only made Yang Ga-hyun’s interest in me heavy.
But at this time, I couldn’t afford to think about such details.
– Plop
After saying this, I immediately fell down and passed out.
