Chapter 32 – Survival (3)
“Oh, really?”
Midsummer’s eyes widened.
It’s clear what you’re thinking
The reality is completely different from the midsummer pink delusion.
Condoms are used for many other things besides contraception.
It can be used as a temporary water bottle, taking up little volume and weight, or used as a substitute for rubber for waterproofing electronic devices or cutting it.
Magnifying glass, toilet and so on.
There are many more ways to use it.
It is for this reason that condoms are usually found in survival bags.
Of course, it wouldn’t be without reason to prevent the high-blooded cadets from having accidents.
Surveillance devices would be everywhere, but it didn’t seem like there were many cadets tall enough to have an open relationship.
“OK. Are you sure.”
Unmanned people have good ears.
Especially for the cadets at the level of admission here, it was possible to hear all of our conversations, no matter how whispered they were.
Maybe if it was spoken with a whole tone, Midsummer hadn’t mastered the whole tone yet.
Thanks to that, the glare turned to the condom.
“Are you curious about this?”
Sergeant Jeon Il-hwan openly picked up the condom.
Then, like a balloon, air was pumped into it.
The condom inflated dozens of times and became full.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the next word.
I don’t know exactly what the lives of unmanned people in this world are like, but seeing grown adults focusing on a single condom strangely made me laugh.
“In survival art, condoms are pretty useful. It can be used for natural purposes such as contraception, as well as as a temporary water bottle. As I said before, water is key to survival. Unmanned people would survive much better, but there is a saying that 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without temperature, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. Water is so important. It can easily hold several liters of water.”
As I expected, Sergeant Jeon Il-hwan explained the purpose of the condom step by step.
“What, that was the reason?”
Midsummer whispered in a strangely disappointed voice.
“Then what did you think?”
“Sour. You are in class.”
Midsummer rolled her eyes and glared at me.
Starting with the condom, the components of the survival kit were discussed, followed by an explanation of the curriculum.
“Yes?”
Han Yeoreum tilted her head while watching the presentation.
There was something I wasn’t expecting at all.
“You will be trained in ‘flying through the air’ along with survival skills classes. Because when you evaluate an uninhabited island, you are put in from the air.”
It’s not some kind of survival game.
It was getting farther and farther away from the uninhabited island experience where you get on a cruise ship and survivehahahoho.
Was this the reason the soldier was in charge of the class?
“Sergeant. May I ask you a question?”
Jiah Lee said while raising her hand.
“Of course.”
“Then do you personally ride helicopters or transport planes during training?”
“Of course it is. Unmanned people in high realms can even fly with swords or fly freely through the air using Neunggongheodo, etc. The biggest advantage of civilization is convenience. President Dokgopae also just takes a plane whenever he goes anywhere. It’s a dedicated base.”
Sergeant Jeon Il-hwan replied with a smile on his face.
In fact, modern Murim people do not reject the victory of civilization as Sergeant Jeon Il-hwan said.
It is human nature to seek comfort.
In terms of efficiency, there was nothing bad about saving power.
“In fact, at the site of erosion, unmanned people prefer to just jump from the air rather than moving on the ground. The higher you go, the more you don’t even need a parachute. Of course you will be put in with a parachute for safety. There may be some people who think I don’t need it, but I would appreciate it if you would follow me as safety is the top priority.”
Even here, there is only one person who doesn’t need a parachute.
Cheon Ha-yeon.
She is the only one who can cast the qi chungso 御 氣 衝 溯, which can control the speed of falling using inner energy, or the celestial 梯, which can go up and down the air like stairs using jinki as a stepping stone.
No matter how many super rookies they are, they are just adults.
Due to the nature of political martial arts, Kim Yong is an atmospheric late formation, so his potential has not exploded yet.
“Okay, then let’s start with the boring theory class.”
Sergeant Jeon Il-hwan opened a thick book.
“I really hate it…”
Midsummer sat down on the desk and looked at me.
“Wake up. I have to study.”
He stroked her hair and grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, pulling her upright.
I can’t think of it right now.
“…Ugh.”
There was a look of drowsiness in her eyes.
After a boring theory class that went on for a while.
Cook Cook.
I poked Midsummer’s cheek with her finger.
In the end, Han Yeo-reum could not stand the boredom of her theory class and passed out as it was.
“Yumma, wake up. Class is over.”
“Eh…?”
“Eh what. Class is over What are you going to do during the exam?”
He let out a deep sigh and pulled her up by the soft scruff of her neck once again.
It feels like lifting a cat.
“Ruined.”
“Did you know now?”
“Wake me up first.”
“He stabbed me in the side more than ten times.”
“…Why am I so mad?”
Midsummer spat, covering her face with both her hands.
“Instead of being a prick, you got a lot of strength, right?”
Puck-
A fist was stabbed right into my side.
“Sick.”
“I told a girl that I was pissed off, so even if I get hit, it’s cheap. Taste the mighty power.”
“You said you’d be mad at yourself first.”
“Isn’t it normal to comfort you? Whether it’s not being a jerk. You need to know more about women.”
“Because I can’t lie. In the past, honesty is my strength.”
“Mr. Lee…”
Midsummer huffed and raised her body.
“I’m hungry. Would you like some rice?”
“OK. What do you want to eat?”
I got up and tidied up.
“Meat. I’m stressed out so I need to taste some blood.”
“It’s not some kind of blood religion. What does blood taste like?”
“Don’t say that, even as a joke. Because it’s terrible.”
“Sorry. It was a mistake.”
Well, Blood Religion was too disgusting to be joked about.
“Let’s hurry up and come back. Tired of the cafeteria inside the academy.”
“Is it time to go out?”
“That’s enough.”
Still, I was drawn to something delicious.
I mean, he and I get along really well in that respect.
***
Surprisingly, there were many high-end restaurants near the academy.
That is what sets it apart from the typical college students.
Soldiers are practically no different from nobles.
Of course, the amount of money spent was different from that of ordinary people.
Just like Cheon Ha-yeon just threw 10 billion at me.
“The thing I like most about coming here is eating.”
Midsummer picked up the meat with a happy expression.
“It’s a small happiness at the cost of the threat of life.”
“Isn’t it hard to look at what you eat?”
“Is that too?”
A piece of beef grilled over a high quality charcoal fire.
There was a feeling of elasticity in the mouth at the rich oil taste and the savory taste of the meat.
“But what did you say when I was sleeping?”
“Anyway, you can just read the book and memorize the theory. If it’s something special, the evaluation process?”
“Process? He said he was jumping on a transport plane.”
“Uh. Did you take a private plane to Okinawa and then take a military transport plane from the US military base there to an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean?”
“You’re not going all at once from here.”
“That would have been hell.”
The feeling of boarding a military transport plane is not good even with empty words.
This world seems to have used magic stones to make transports a little bigger, but that’s how military use is military use.
If military use has become ‘more’ comfortable, civil aircraft are just hotels.
“I look forward to it. An uninhabited island experience.”
“Don’t expect Because reality is hell.”
“Still, there’s something romantic about it.”
“What is romance? Insects the size of a finger would be flying around under the scorching sun that made it hard to breathe.”
“You have to break other people’s illusions to get rid of your temper?”
Midsummer pursed her lips.
She immediately picked up a piece of meat and held it to Midsummer’s mouth.
Well well.
Take it quietly like a baby bird.
After repeating the series of steps a few times, the expression was released again.
“If I prepare well, it might be better than I thought.”
“Ugh. I only trust you.”
“Neither can I.”
“What are you talking about?”
Midsummer tilted her head.
“Can we fall apart?”
“You can find it quickly.”
“I don’t know if it is possible or impossible. Memorize it because I will tell you only the key parts.”
“Yes.”
“Well, this.”
He took out a wooden box from her arms and handed it to Hanyeoreum.
“What is this?”
“Honwondan. You have it.”
“Is it an elixir?”
“OK. Roughly, the effect is… A top-notch top for boosting internal energy?”
“Why are you giving this to me? You eat.”
Midsummer stared blankly at me.
“Because you never know when you go to an uninhabited island. If something is dangerous, eat it. Possessions will be restricted, but it is probably possible to carry this much.”
I thought a lot about whether I should eat it right away, but it was too wasteful to recklessly eat it, saying that it would increase the strength of the top-notch top.
In fact, it was like adding one more life to her.
“…What will you do?”
“I’m not stupid like you, but I can memorize all of the survival manuals.”
“Can’t we split this in half?”
“I will do it. Then the effect will be greatly diminished.”
“Let’s split it in half. Anyway, when the two of you meet, if you are in a hurry, you can combine them.”
“I have to ask Jia one more time, but that’s it.”
Depending on the type of elixir, there were cases in which one had to take it in its entirety.
If Honwondan is of that kind, it is possible to just share the medicine and throw it away.
“Ugh. Then ask, and if it’s okay, let’s share.”
Midsummer pushed the wooden box towards me again and said.
***
“It’s okay. Instead, the effect is only half.”
At my question, Lee Ji-ah smiled softly.
“I’m glad. Thank you.”
“What. Do you want to share with Midsummer?”
“Uh. I’m worried because his studies are completely useless. If you are going to die on a deserted island, you should eat at least that.”
“Is that so? I think I’ll do well calmly.”
“I don’t think I have a bad head, but I just don’t want to study even if I die. My eyes close when I look at the book.”
“There are people like that.”
Jiah Lee shook her head, tucking her red hair behind her ear.
– Aaaaagh!
– Aaaaagh!
In an instant, a series of screams resounded nearby.
“Wow. I guess it’s tougher than I thought.”
“It’s our car coming soon, are you carefree?”
“I often jumped off a cliff. I am used to high places.”
What kind of door is Honwonmun?
Looking at the calm and weak Lee Ji-ah, a question arose.
Descent training consists of several stages.
First, training to handle various movements and equipment required for descent.
It was over in an instant, probably because these were talented warriors.
Next is model tower descent training.
It was training to jump off the huge tower that is now placed in front of us.
“Is this right?”
Midsummer, who had been waiting in front of her, slipped inside her and grabbed her sleeve.
“It’s not like this kind of training in the first place.”
The ‘model tower’ I know is not this high.
Model tower training involves descending on a rope from a tower about 11m tall, the height that humans feel the most fear at most.
Roughly speaking, it is over 100m.
As a building, it is over 30 stories high.
Besides, the speed of descent is insane.
It’s not a roller coaster, it accelerates at a crazy speed at first and then decelerates again in the middle.
If it wasn’t for the uninhabited, it would have shaken all the intestines.
It is clear that some kind of number was written.
Somehow, it was strange from the time they brought us to the 25th Special Mission Wing, not inside the academy, but nearby.
Well, 10m was too low for a warrior.
Still, I thought 100m was a bit excessive.
“Midsummer cadet, come up.”
Suddenly, a broadcast calling for midsummer was heard.
“Help me.”
Midsummer looked at me with her pitiful eyes.
“Sorry. Bye.”
She firmly pulled up her sleeve.
Like a cow being led to a slaughterhouse, Midsummer hurriedly boarded the elevator.
– Kyaaaaagh!
After a while.
The screeching screams of midsummer resounded high in the sky as if on a ride.
