The Villain’s Dead Child

Episode 9, Survival Training

‘Survival’ training session in the afternoon.

The superintendent in charge is Raiko Grillich.

It was a man who showed up on a motorcycle this morning. He was Croatian, and unusually, the lessons were conducted in English.

Even though the language was different, I could feel his pleasant and slow personality, but the words that came out through the interpreter were infinitely stiff.

“I am not in Korea yet, but I live beyond the dimension for at least 15 days and at most half a year during the Crystal Gate deployment operation. Personal items, as well as supplies, are bound to bottom out.”

As the name implies, the Crystal Gate is a gate in the form of a’shining glass screen’ and is connected to the otherworldly field (probably the planet itself).

“Operation Crack and Blue Hole does not mean that there is no such thing. We always face unexpected variables in paranormal environments.”

Players collectively call it something—usually a place name or a grade-gate—but in the setting, gates have classification names.

A crack is a one-time dungeon that occurs unexpectedly, and a blue hole is a multi-time dungeon that continues to create another space until the magical power runs out.

For reference, the mana lump (lumpgate) mentioned by Seongah Ham in the entrance ceremony speech is a little different, but it is a disaster itself accompanied by an explosion and the appearance of a large-scale monster as a ‘phenomenon’ of powerful magic condensation.

So we have to survive not only monsters but also food shortages, disease, and poisoning.

In the future, through this course, you will acquire food security in a paranormal environment, first aid, detoxification, and the basic knowledge necessary for alchemy.

Instructor Raiko searched under the podium before the interpreter finished speaking and took out two glass bottles containing different ‘things’.

And it was something I was familiar with.

“This is the venom sac of a wild boar. The mountain boar is a Tier 8 monstrous species that has been witnessed in most countries that have experienced more than a crack. However, there is a continuing controversy that it should be classified as at least level 6 or higher even in terms of risk management. The venom they emit is… ”

I was looking at a bottle other than the one that Instructor Raikou was holding. ‘Scarab beetle?’ A killer beetle the size of half a fist.

It is an extremely hateful pest that pierces the skin of people or animals and eats the inside. How did you get the creature?

The fucking insect was glowing inside the bottle. It’s a scarab beetle in the venom of a wild boar…. I immediately recognized what Instructor Raiko wanted to teach in today’s class.

Was it because of the experiment? I still thought that a class space like a science room did not match the name of the subject.

A detoxification experiment using the sap of the beetle. Scarab beetle sap is an excellent antidote for almost all poisonings, and even in the game, I always carried five or six dead beetles.

“The beetle is a small insect of no rank, but dozens to hundreds of units appear at once.”

I lost interest in the class probably because I knew everything.

After unfocusing and hitting the ‘UI bruise’, I suddenly remembered what I needed for life after I went to sleep. To think of it, I need to save up some money in advance.

[necessary event]

※ An incident where the death of Han Seong-jun can be disguised.

– Time limit 2 years, 264 days, 22 hours, 52 minutes, 32 seconds

──────────

If you do the math, it’s around May 24, 2032. 11 months until the main story begins, and at least 2 years if you add in the amount of time you shouldn’t face your father yet.

In the meantime, it was said that I had to prepare a living fund.

‘It’s not even a job to make money.’

Loco 33 is a vast game that covers all aspects of society, including politics, economy, culture, education, and art, and I had a shallow but wide knowledge of noteworthy events in all fields.

However, the time when I needed funds was a long time before the start of the game.

Even with the background at the beginning of the game, stocks that would soon become a cake could be seen, but that also required some money and time.

‘I have no choice but to use it.’

Borrowing or sponsoring. The point of writing first and repaying after the main story is the same. The opponent will be Song Yeon-hee or Cha Yu-ra.

Lee Na-eun is half different, and her personality is so damn right. Based on the main story, Song Yeon-hee’s family, Daehwa Group, and Cha Yoo-ra’s father’s JS Oparts are not lagging behind Shinsung Group’s status, ‘though those two aren’t ordinary characters either.

Because I know everything, there are some awkward parts. … … Anyway, since there was a ring trade, I decided to attack Cha Yoo-ra.

“Seongjun. Knock, knock. Seongjun!”

Tak-tak-tak! “Uh, yes?”

Instructor Raiko came over, called me, and knocked on the table.

“Sungjun, are you no good in my class?”

“no.”

He walked with me in the morning, but I didn’t expect him to remember my name.

But he also speaks Korean…

“Then is he young? Do you have a Quansim?”

“yes? What is that… no?”

Raiko pointed to the table across from me, and the cadets made a strange ‘Oooh’ as a group. Cha Yoo-ra was sitting where he pointed.

“I saw that you keep watching.”

What is this guy saying?

“I was just thinking about something else. sorry.”

I politely apologized, wanting to end the situation quickly.

In the meantime, I glanced at Cha Yu-ra, but as always, there was no expression on her face. It was natural. She was set to have alexithymia.

“OK, Seongjun. I forgive you. but, help me out.”

Raiko beckoned me to follow, then handed me a bottle of wild boar venom.

“Inhale it.” “What’s this?” “Drink it.” crazy<0x07> <0x07>. You want the cadet to drink poison now?

The cadets who were watching also started to get agitated as if they were just as absurd.

“Noisy, It is Okay.”

Raikou calmed the cadets down and spoke to the interpreter in quick English.

“In survival education, experience is the most important. Knowing with your head rather causes embarrassment and anxiety when faced with a real situation. It means failure in the field where quick judgment is required. Now, both the detoxification potion and the recovery potion are prepared, so trust the instructor.”

“<0x07> <0x07>.”

I expected an experiment in which poison bags were handed out to each table and neutralized with beetle extract.

Anyway, it was a process that was originally prepared, and it was not a ploy to pony up for nothing. Raiko smiled and waved a glass bottle of azure potion.

It was an advanced detoxification potion made through alchemy.

‘It looks like they’re only experiencing toxicity first.’

To be honest, I was more reluctant to chew on a beetle than to inhale a venom bag. It was only in the game that the ‘Wagjak’ sound effect was all there was to right-click the mouse,

but in reality…

because it wasn’t If there is a separate antidote potion, there is no reason to avoid it. Repeated poisoning and detoxification also help increase poison tolerance.

─Click.
Sup… …

I opened the bottle cap and inhaled the air inside the bottle. [You are poisoned and your vitality decreases.] I felt an acrid smell hit somewhere in my head.

It’s like when you first learn to smoke…

ok!

However, the headache that immediately followed was completely different from the hazy one.

It can lead to death if not treated quickly.

“Oh sh*t.”

Despite being in front of the instructor, swear words came out naturally. I continued to breathe in quickly to suck in fresh air, but it only added to the pain of burning my respiratory tract.

Jureuk.

It was the second nosebleed today.

I inadvertently looked around at the too-quiet reaction and saw the cadets observing me without even blinking.

Kwon Ha-sun and Ga-yeong, who misunderstand my physical condition, are restless.

I laughed out of proportion to the situation.

It was a good way to induce the cadets’ concentration.

The pain was offset to some extent as recovery began due to the action of the attribute. However, feeling the uncomfortable energy spreading through his body, he reached out his hand to Raikou.

It was a gesture to ask for the detoxification potion.

“Uh… !”

While Raiko was handing over the potion, she lost the bottle in front of my fingertips.

Clink.

“Kick!”

One of the girls screamed as if they were too immersed in it.

“Oh, shit!”

Raikou’s sigh, one beat slow.

damn…

That man did it on purpose.

As expected, Raikou continued with a nonchalant face.

“If a situation like this happens during an operation, how should we respond?”

After going through the plain tone of the interpreter, it felt even more hateful.

‘This must have been a direction to blow that comment.’ Okay. I can understand that. But chewing on the ass of a bug was another matter, and I never intended to tune in to that tune. Raikou answered quickly before explaining the effectiveness of the beetle. “Hold on tight, and we’ll carry out the operation.”

“What? No! Then it’s dog death.”

“no. It’s not that I’m going to die; it’s that I’m patient.”

It was not an object. The decrease in life force due to poisoning could not catch up with the magic recovery speed, and thanks to the life force interlocking characteristic, I was maintaining ‘full blood’.

The state of addiction and the discomfort caused by it remained the same, but that was enough to be resolved even after the class was over.

“No way, what the heck!”

Raikou checked my complexion closely with an expression of incomprehension, then tilted her head while examining my head and chest.

“I think I’m okay now. Can I go back to my seat?”

“Wait, wait. Seongjun, are you poison immunity?”

“yes?”

“You ask if I have toxic immunity.”

I was prepared for a scuffle, but you might think so.

“I don’t know because I haven’t been tested.”

“<0x01> <0x07> OK.”

Raikou took out an intact detox potion from his pocket and handed it over, saying something.

“I’m not sure of the condition, so tell me to drink it.”

“Ah yes.”

Oh, I had a spare. The moment I thought that, Raiko muttered something with the words ‘Shit’ and ‘Next Class’ in it.

Well, at over $1,000 per bottle at international market rates, you probably won’t be able to open a few bottles per class.

You have escaped from addiction. I drank the detoxifying potion on the spot and returned to my seat.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Wow, Hyung, are you immune to toxicity?”

“Are you okay? Because I don’t know.”

Kwon Ha-sun and Ga-young, who were sitting at the same table, whispered, but a dazed silence lingered in the room.

In addition, everyone’s eyes were on me. Kang Seon-ho, Song Yeon-hee, and Cha Yu-ra… .

[Impressive memories for Kang Seon-ho and 32 others—DP acquired 165]

It’s not awkward for me to get attention because I also have an executive jjambab, but the current air was a bit burdensome.

It should be over when Raikou resumes class, but he seemed to be thinking about how to deal with it.

‘I’m sorry for nothing.’

I just didn’t want to eat bug poop, but as a result, I made the class twisted.

Raikou scratched his head as he looked down at the fragments of the broken potion bottle. After a while, he opened his mouth again.

“Do you have any cadets who dare to try poisoning again?”

If you’re even a little bit sensible, you’ll know what Raiko’s plan is and what an alternative to the antidote is There will be applicants…

“I will do it.”

The person who dared to look in my direction and raised his hand was Seo Beom-jin.

***

The survival class was able to finish safely thanks to Seo Beom-jin’s sacrifice.

Due to a series of incidents, I had no choice but to focus on the rest of the class, which was unexpectedly very meaningful. That’s when I learned the effect of the trait.

The whole story was like this. After the toxic neutralization experiment was over, theoretical lectures on field alchemy and super-elements that applied it continued.

But what I suddenly realized was that I understood the complex content so easily.

In fact, beyond understanding, I already understood. No matter how many settings there are, they cannot cover all areas of reality. In particular, if you go into academic details, you cannot know the end.

Of course, these were concepts I had never heard of, but the ability to see into the details created by the world from the ‘initial setting’ like flowing water. that means that.

‘It means that I don’t have to study to make my head explode.’

It is truly a characteristic that is optimized for school life.

“Why are you sitting alone? Aren’t you going?”

Kwon Ha-seon tapped and pointed to the entrance to the classroom. More than half of the cadets had left. “Young is taking me down.

I’ll make a call in a quiet place, and then I’ll go down.”

“If it takes a long time, why don’t we just go to the dormitory?”

“Go soon.”

Just as Cha Yu-ra was leaving the classroom, she pushed Ha-seon Kwon and said, And right away, he searched the academy’s contact network and wrote a message to Cha Yu-ra.

(Can I see you from the 4th floor east stairs?)

I wrote ‘Wait a minute’ at the end of ‘Let’s see’ and sent it. It was a reasonable judgment. Because she was interested in unpredictable and stimulating things.

At the far end of the hallway, Cha Yu-ra stopped walking and checked her smartwatch. Soon, the group that had been walking a few steps ahead turned around and exchanged something.

However, the face of the group was surprising. Song Yeon-hee, Choi Bum-gyun… Seonho Kang?

When I left the classroom, I didn’t expect that I would eat one like that because I was mixed with the other cadets.

‘The Balbung team has already come out.’

I was able to roughly infer how the team was formed based on the information I knew, but Kang Seon-ho was unexpected.

For a moment, Kang Seon-ho’s eyes met. However, I left first to see if the conversation was over, and after confirming that Cha Yu-ra had turned around, I headed for the stairs on the other side.

***

“What is it, Han Seong-jun? Isn’t he interested in Yura-Annie? What do you think?”

“Maybe, maybe not.”

In response to Kang Seon-ho’s lukewarm response, Song Yeon-hee raised the decibel.

“No, what is it? Is there anything else a man who hasn’t even given his name yet wants to see separately?”

“So who is Han Seong-jun?”

Choi Beom-gyun, who was walking behind, asked with his characteristic bored tone.

“That toxic immunity.”

“ah… That bastard? I wondered if X or corruption would work. Yura-nuna is already insensitive or something.”

“It’s the inability to express emotions. Oh, it’s really rude.”

Song Yeon-hee turned her head away as if she didn’t want to mix things up anymore.

“right. Have you ever seen a mountain dog boar in Africa?”

Kang Seon-ho just nodded his head without answering.

“really? Did you know that you can detoxify with a dung beetle?”

“<0x06> <0x07> uh.”

Kang Seon-ho was almost the only one of the cadets from the dispatched army who had experience hunting monsters,

and that was the reason Song Yeon-hee recruited him in the first place.

However, because it was a memory that Kang Seon-ho did not want to recall, he became sensitive whenever he was asked such a question.

“Ugh! If that’s the only antidote, I’ll just hang on and die. I thought I was going to vomit earlier, so I thought I was going to die.”

“<0x07> <0x07>.”

Kang Seon-ho’s temples wriggled.

She pulled out one of the most horrifying moments.

“I thought I would die from laughing. Is it Seo Beomjin? Shit stood up proudly, biting on crab foam and rolling on the floor, but the dog almost exploded. Oh, that takya.”

As Choi Bum-gyun’s giggles increased, Kang Seon-ho could not stand it any longer and stopped walking. “Anyone other than Seo Beom-jin is addicted to that poison and cannot maintain reason.

It was the purpose of the class to let them know.

If you have learned, do not laugh at me, but thank you.” It was a calm and low voice, but it sounded like a warning from a beast.

Maybe that’s why Choi Beom-gyun also stopped laughing. Kang Seon-ho moved his steps again and continued.

“No matter what your stomach is, if you can put an end to that pain, you will find something worse than bugs. When there was nothing… none of those who died from that poison feared death itself.”

It is his eyewitness account, and those who died must have been his comrades.

Song Yeon-hee guessed that and admitted her mistake.

“sorry. I think I said something a little careless.”

Kang Seon-ho also made a slightly embarrassed expression. It was something anyone could say enough, and he knew that he was in a unique position.

“just… I wanted to tell you that it is not light poison.”

Maybe the fear is bigger because I didn’t feel it myself.

I let half of my platoon go and watched hundreds of civilians die. Kang Seon-ho was most afraid of poison.

Even though he is immune to toxicity. Also, I knew that.

The fact that he is not immune to poison. I saw it for the first time. endure the pain, A crazy person who deserves to be patient
