Episode 55 [Training (1)]
It was as expected.
All material played in the auditorium was safe.
Even if the control room was damaged, all the data would not be burned.
Moreover, since the storage device was a CD, it had nothing to do with the control room being damaged.
“It’s similar to a jukebox. Does this allow you to choose between several tracks and play them?”
Kyung-hoon stood in front of a machine containing dozens of CDs and scratched his head.
“This is compatible with ours, right?”
-It is the same standard. Just insert it into your existing CD-ROM.
“I’m glad.”
Kwasik.
Kyunghoon broke the clear plastic lid and took out the CDs.

Dozens of CDs were all training methods.
-All of these are basic educational materials for hunters.
“But it must be a systematic training method that has been systematized after fighting monsters for a long time. These are the most necessary items in the current situation where we are heading to the ground.”
He took the CD with a satisfied expression and approached the emergency exit on the other side.
Kyung-hoon looked inside the emergency exit and clicked his tongue.
“It’s all a trap.”
The floor of the emergency exit appeared dozens of meters below.
Naturally, the bottom floor had iron bars sticking out, and the iron plates that were originally the floor were shaking with holes in the iron bars.
Half-exposed gun muzzles and flamethrower holes were visible throughout the walls.
I wasn’t thinking about moving right now, but it would have been very dangerous if I had gone through the emergency exit without thinking.
But now it was just light rock climbing.
Kyung-hoon jumped into the stairs that had become a vertical passage.
chin. chin.
The gun muzzles and holes protruding from the wall provided excellent footholds.
He climbed up the wall as if doing parkour and was able to easily enter the door on the next floor.
The next floor was a gym with large mattresses. Unfortunately, there were no items left in the gym.
“Is it like a sparring hall?”
Kyung-hoon, who was licking his lips after looking at the empty interior, opened his eyes when he saw the door in the corner.
[Armory]
The door with a heavy lock was the place he wanted to find the most. He was afraid that someone would steal it
,
so he ran to the door like lightning. He struck the lock with a dagger.
Sharply.
The lock was easily cut. Gyeong-hoon hurriedly opened the door and had a happy face.
Inside the armory was a variety of weapons, including swords, spears, shields, and crossbows.
All of them had patterns engraved on them. -Unfortunately, no firearms were left behind. Since ordinary people can also use them, they must have been managed separately. If the
items in front of you get into the hands of an awakened person, they will become more terrifying weapons than guns, but the awakened person’s body itself was a weapon anyway. -In addition, it is a basic
type .
It’s equipment. It’s just an ordinary reinforced type without any mana stones set up.
Even that was just a blessing to Kyung-hoon.
“Will there be any difference if the mana stones are set up?”
– In addition to strengthening the strength, additional abilities can be used. This can be considered a proper item.
The pistol that Kyung-hoon has was also such an item. It is an item that leaves mana on bullets due to the mana stone contained in the gun.
Naturally, the weapon is here. There were no mana stones embedded in it.
Anyway, Gyeong-hoon put the weapons into his backpack with a happy expression.
He had only ever fought with a sword or a dagger. He put several sets of each type of weapon in his backpack, so he was full even without eating. In an instant, he was full
. The inside of the armory was empty. Kyung-hoon felt that his backpack was heavy.
-If I put it in like this, it would be difficult to take the motorcycle back with me…
Kyung-hoon flinched at Eve’s words, but he sighed and remembered the motorcycle he had hidden outside the building. I erased it from there.
I thought about riding it when I was young, but the motorcycle was much noisier than I expected. As expected, I had to leave the memories behind.
“Then, shall we go to the next floor?”
Kyung-hoon went up the vertical passage again and went upstairs.
The upper floor had a small auditorium connected to the control room. Because the control room collapsed, there was a gaping hole in one side of the wall.
Other than the hole in the wall, it was an ordinary small auditorium.
However, there were scrawled words written on the wall in front of the auditorium.
［Those who awaken late should come to Seoul Airport. Colonel Han Kyung-
soo］ The text at the top was written in large letters. But there were two lines drawn across the text.
[shit! Don’t go to Seoul airport. Daejeon is the new retreat center.]
And below that, there was a sentence written that seemed to have been written in a hurry. It seemed like the person who wrote the post below had drawn a line to ignore the post above.
-What happened?
Kyung-hoon shrugged his shoulders at Eve’s words.
“I don’t know. It was already a long time ago.”
Seeing that the Awakened Training Center was also empty, Kyung-hoon gave up his expectations to some extent.
Too much time had passed. Now, he might just be looking back on past history.
“Still, I’ll have to find out what happened. If you want to go to Daejeon anyway, you will have to go through Seoul Airport. “Maybe we can check why they told us not to go.”
I don’t know what happened, but it was highly likely that troops gathered at Seoul Airport.
“It would be nice to have a useful gun…”
I looked around more, but there was nothing left here.
But Kyung-hoon didn’t go back right away.
If you think about it, this was a huge safe facility where monsters didn’t invade.
“Hopefully ,” he said. “I could use this as my warehouse.”
-It will take time to destroy the control room and get it up and running.
“You can do that slowly.”
Kyung-hoon answered Eve’s words by tearing down the heavy machine gun installed in the passage.
Unfortunately, these guns and bullets were not for the Awakened. If it was something that could be made so easily, there was no reason to go through all that trouble.
Kyung-hoon somehow stuffed the disassembled machine gun into his backpack and opened the dimensional door.
It seemed like I could barely cross the dimension.
Kyung-hoon looked back at the dome one last time and jumped into the portal.
A weightless space filled with starlight welcomed him.
But among the starlight, there were only a few places he could go.
He proceeded along the line drawn before him. The dimensional gates of the original world approached him.
Home Factory Awakened Association Armistice Line Hong Kong….
The expanded dimensional doors sparkled like starlight.
Kyung-hoon moved towards the factory and then turned his gaze elsewhere.
I saw a dimly lit portal next to my room.
It was a dimension door that had been there from the beginning. Unlike other doors, I couldn’t tell where it was leading.
I had been ignoring it so far, but I couldn’t ignore it forever.
Kyung-hoon made a decision after checking the heavy backpack. Now was a good time to check that door.
The door approached.
Kyung-hoon jumped into an unknown door.
“what?”
Kyung-hoon, who was extremely nervous, blinked his eyes.
Boom.
“You can’t get out of the way! What are you doing in the middle of the street!”
A passing truck driver shouted at Kyung-hoon.
Kyung-hoon walked away with a puzzled expression.
He opened the dimensional door and came out in the middle of an ordinary local highway.
Kyung-hoon stood on the side of the road and checked his cell phone navigation. Pyeongchang-gun,
Gangwon-do . Daegwallyeong-myeon.
“Daegwallyeong?”
Come to think of it, it was very winding for a national road and the terrain was high.
-Have you ever traveled from here before meeting me?
“No. I checked the unknown door I mentioned before… and came to a strange place.
– Oh, that dimension door was the place I mentioned before.
Unlike Kyung-hoon, Eve couldn’t distinguish between the dimension doors.
“I was extremely nervous. “I feel like I don’t know anything anymore.”
Kyung-hoon looked at the empty road and sighed.
No matter how much I looked around, there was nothing special.
All I could see was the curved old road of Daegwallyeong and the wide pastures of the highlands.
“Well, Eve gave Kyung-hoon, who was shrugging his shoulders to take comfort in the fact that another new dimension has opened,
another concern.
– I think we need to think about a way to get back rather than that.
” No way…. The Internet call taxi is here . “Can’t you get there?”
Luckily, a taxi did come. It took a few hours and it arrived at night.
The taxi driver looked at Kyung-hoon sitting on the side of the road with a puzzled expression.
“Once a young person takes on a challenge, we have to uproot him. “What if I give up midway?”
The taxi driver seemed to have seen Kyung-hoon as a young man on a walking trip.
Fortunately, I was able to return to Seoul safely.
When Kyung-hoon arrived home, he took a quick shower and took out an old laptop from the storage room.
“As expected, it’s a good thing I didn’t throw it away.”
-I think I can just buy a CD drive…
I ignored Eve’s words and plugged the cord into the laptop. When I turned it on, the CD-ROM light blinked.
Kyung-hoon took out the CDs from his backpack.
“Okay, what should we watch first?” .”
Kyung-hoon looked at the CDs with the feeling of someone choosing food at a buffet.
★ ★ ★
Early morning the next day.
The laptop that was left running all night eventually broke down. Kyunghoon looked at the broken laptop screen with a disappointed expression.
-I think it’s time to stop watching. Even if you are an awakened person, you need a regular life.
Kyung-hoon nodded at Eve’s words.
“That’s right. Just seeing isn’t enough. You have to actually see it.”
Kyung-hoon, who had changed into his gym clothes, thought for a moment.
“Rather than trying it alone, I think it would be better to try it with someone else…”
– If you don’t release the video separately, you can give each other advice and spar, so it would be better. It seems like it, but is there anyone who can join me?
It was still difficult to meet people from the Awakened Association.
“There is one awakened person who lacks exercise. This is perfect.”
Kyung-hoon called upstairs. Eve looked a little annoyed.
-It’s a nuisance to call this early in the morning.
The phone rang several times and the person on the other end answered.
-Wei…
Chinese was heard, mixed with sleepiness.
“That’s me. Kyung-hoon.”
-Shenma? What’s going on? In the wee hours of the morning.
Jin Xiawei immediately responded to Kyung Hoon’s words in Korean. Even though she hasn’t been there very long, she already speaks Korean fluently.
“Let’s do morning exercise with me.”
However, her Korean was not heard again. The phone was quiet for a while.
-Are you asking for a date? There are quite a few reservations.
After a while, a drowsy voice with a sigh came from the phone.
“Do I also have to make a reservation for morning exercise? “It may be a bit of an intense exercise, so please consider it.”
“Oh my. That’s an interesting saying.”
Her voice changed at Kyung-hoon’s words. Maybe she misunderstood something, but she seemed to have woken up anyway. “I’ll go out in a minute.
”
The phone ended with her laughing.

After a while, she laughed . turned into a scream:
“Aaaah! “It hurts!”
