EP.376 Aftercare (3)

As I have mentioned several times in the past, before the war against infectious diseases, Korean society, and indeed most of the world, was in an era of iron-fisted rule.

When the worst international situation, resource depletion, environmental pollution, abnormal climate, and the gap between the rich and the poor all occur at once, even a warm grassland can turn into a jungle in an instant.

All members harbor poison and viciously sink their teeth into the flesh of their opponents in order to survive.

Naturally, state control had to become stricter.

There are countless cases where people are thrown in prison without mercy for actions that would have resulted in release in the past.

They went through a several-week resocialization process called the newly established ‘short-term mental education’.

Corrective robots were very close and familiar to the public.

The Korean Peninsula in particular has become the place in the world most familiar with combat robots, with Shelter troops poking around everywhere.

Thanks to this, the cadets had little resistance to using honorifics or being controlled by robots.

However, the robot instructor in front of me was quite refreshing.

[You guys are either really lucky guys! Or you’re just a bunch of cowards! You came here after the most lethal infection war in human history to act as an officer!]

The robot’s lines so far have been relatively polite, such as ‘Stop’, ‘This is a restricted area’, and ‘Please cooperate with the search.’

But this brash robot instructor didn’t hesitate to swear.

[I am Sergeant Do-nan, your training instructor. I have been given the difficult task of evolving you chimpanzees into humans as quickly as possible.]

A thief passing in front of the lined up candidates struck the back of one young man’s hand with his baton.

puck!

[Clench your fist!]

“Ugh!”

A groan escapes from the pain he has endured.

[You’re standing at attention, so why are you spreading your arms?]

Even those who had been holding their hands loosely clenched their fists.

[Fix your gaze forward!]

Bam!

A steel slam was struck in the forehead of a cadet who was looking at the freshman who had hit his hand by turning his head.

He fell backwards like a martial artist who had been hit by a high kick, but did not pass out.

Because the robbery was a power control. If he had really hit it, his skull would have been shattered and there would have been deaths from the first day.

[Original location!]

“Whoa, back to normal!”

The cadet returned to his attention position, resisting the urge to rub his forehead, which felt like it was going to break.

[The fact that everyone who entered here came from a camp or a warlord, but don’t those bastards even know the basics of etiquette?]

Shelter cadet training is not available to just anyone.

Although it is an attribute education, it costs a lot of money to follow the best facilities, supplies, instructors, and curriculum of this era.

Naturally, they would be the children of influential people from large-scale places.

[Raise your head!]

“Ugh!”

Two steel fingers were stuck into the nostrils of the female cadet who was bowing her head.

[Everyone, pay attention! Look here!]

As everyone’s eyes gather, her pretty face turns bright red with shame.

[Chin tucked in, head at this angle, eyes facing forward!]

The robber moved his fingers, which were still stuck in his nostrils, back and forth to maintain a perfect posture of attention.

Phong!

As soon as her finger was removed, the female student’s face suddenly distorted. It wasn’t because she was in pain or embarrassed.

“Phewchwi!”

It was due to sneezing caused by a large foreign body moving around.

“Phew!”

I heard someone laughing.

Kiing-!

The waist of the thief walking in front of the first row turned 180 degrees.

It’s like a scene from a horror movie, with the upper body turned upside down and the eyes glaring while the lower body remains the same.

[What kind of kid is he?]

“I’m done!”

A young man in the second row shouted loudly.

He has a large physique, bronze skin, and a solid, manly style. Physically, he was already a complete warrior.

This is Seok-dae Lee, the son of Commander Seong-bong Lee of Yeosu, who maintains a close relationship with the shelter.

[Do you find this funny?]

The thief ran up immediately and shouted right in front of his nose.

“I’m sorry! I couldn’t hold back my laughter!”

[The attitude of immediate recognition and the loud voice are useful. Let’s see if the skills match that spirit.]

The retreating thief waved his hand as if to invite someone to attack.

“I know it’s presumptuous of you to ask, but you’re a stalker model! You can tear me to pieces with your bare hands, so why should I attack you?”

As a member of one of the largest warlords on the Korean peninsula, he was also well aware of the Stalker series.

The thief smiled brightly.

This is thanks to the detailed facial tuning that allowed him to express joy, sorrow, and pleasure specifically for his effectiveness as an instructor.

The robber took a restful pose.

[I won’t use both hands. I won’t even kick.]

“You don’t even kick my butt!”

[That bull-like guy is also very meticulous. You’ll make a useful officer. Great! You won’t even use your knees!]

“…!”

If it had been another cadet, he would have repeatedly said, “I’m sorry!” and declined until the end, but Lee Seok-dae was reckless.

They ran in shouting as if they thought they had a chance at winning despite the ridiculous handicap.

Bullfight!

“Kwaaak!”

It was kicked by the theft’s body and flew about 5 meters before falling to the ground.

The robber walked slowly and stopped in front of Lee Seok-dae, who was rolling on the ground and groaning.

Lee Seok-dae couldn’t get up due to the excruciating pain that was sweeping through his entire body, but he looked up with wide eyes as if he couldn’t lose the momentum.

“Instructor! May I just say one thing?”

[I’ll give you permission to say anything just this once, considering your bravery!]

“Where did you sell the Three Laws of Robotics? Is it okay for you to beat a human like this?”

[I guess I can give it a try.]

The robber grabbed the arm of Lee Seok-dae, who was unable to control his body, and dragged him, throwing him back to his original position.

And then he looked for his next prey.

[What is this?]

A thief stood in front of an officer candidate and pointed his baton at his chest.

“Ah, it’s the chest.”

He was the most plump young man among the freshmen. He was the son of a landowner at the top.

[This is not a heart!]

He spoke while poking the unmanly plump chest with the baton.

The young man’s face was twisted in pain, but he bit his lip to keep himself from groaning.

He was able to maintain a proper attention posture, which showed that he had guts despite his appearance.

[We call these things breasts!]

“Ugh…”

A groan escaped from between her parted lips as she twisted the baton half a turn.

Only then did the robbers put away their batons.

The eyes of the thief looking down at the plump young man are clearly the lenses of a machine.

However, all of the officer cadets felt that this was different from the combat robots they had seen so far.

There was genuine malice in this robot’s eyes!

[As you may have been informed in advance, the officer training you will receive is a one-year intensive course! We do not have the luxury of teaching you with care for several years like before the war!]

As the robber raised his hand, an iron grip appeared.

It stopped at the plump young man’s full chest.

Clank! Clank!

Every time he squeezed and released it threateningly, a murderous sound was heard.

The plump young man who had been holding on even when being poked with a baton unconsciously pulled his upper body back now.

[I’ll give you 4 months. Within that time, turn these breasts back into a man’s chest. Otherwise, I’ll tear them off with my own hands.]

“Yes, Instructor!”

The plump young man shouted with all his might.

The habits and determination to live in each other’s respective living quarters began to rapidly disappear.

I was clearly determined not to mess with this killer robot.

* * *

“I wonder if we’ll run into trouble if we keep doing that.”

After watching the training session, I felt a bit indifferent.

“You have to do that much.”

Seyoung said from the side.

This is because officer candidate training uses land close to the police station.

It is natural for Se-young to want to practice on the day he came to see the sights.

“It’s been five years since the war of infection. The social image of the past that sought equality for all people, even on the surface, is no longer there. We’ve regressed to a semi-class society.”

Seyoung pointed to the new officer cadets who had started jumping with their arms outstretched on the parade ground.

“Most of them are children of camp landlords, captains, heads of famous expeditionary groups, and commanders or officers of various garrisons. You could say they are a kind of new aristocracy.”

“Are you the young masters who have lived with stiff shoulders?”

“Yes.”

Apart from the need to train new officers, this was also an extension of political activity to establish relations with external powers.

Of course, more than half of them are sons and daughters of former military personnel and have lived in military bases.

The other personnel also have some experience shooting guns or participating in search operations, so they will not lack in qualifications.

“We need to get this right once and for all and get rid of the camp stuff. In some ways it’s worse than the pre-war stuff.”

Seyoung smiled an evil smile that didn’t suit him.

“Manager, you are also a former officer. Didn’t you have a similar experience at the military academy?”

“I didn’t lose anything in the military academy training I received. After all, it was a time when society was functioning properly.”

The infamous Marine Corps boot camp is no different. They yell all sorts of shit in your ear, but they don’t really slap you like that robot instructor.

“But it’s definitely effective. Since it’s a short-term training, I guess there’s nothing I can do? I’m a bit worried about the side effects though…”

“Side effects?”

Seyoung opened her eyes wide and looked cute, so I patted her head.

“If you do something like that, you’ll probably get fragged at any moment. Hey, wait a minute! What’s that guy doing?”

My enhanced vision showed the thief pulling out the pistol from his waistband.

By immediately accessing the thief’s circuits through the brain implant, he was able to understand the situation.

[I swear to you! I’m the most fucked up person you’ve ever met! What you’ve seen in the past few minutes is just a taste!]

The thief released the safety of the pistol he had pulled and loaded it.

All the cadets became extremely tense at the sound of the clanking iron.

[If you train under me, there will be countless times when you will want to kill me! Don’t you all think so?]

“no!”

The cadets gave the obvious answer.

They just rolled their eyes and looked at the pistol in the thief’s hand.

The look on his face was like, ‘Surely this little bastard wouldn’t really shoot me, right?’

[No, it’s not. You’ll really want to kill me. And you can try as much as you want.]

Before the bewildered expressions of the cadets could soften, the thief placed a pistol into the hand of one of them.

“Bachelor! Kim Bu-seong!”

The cadet spoke reflexively.

The robber grabbed Kim Bu-seong’s finger, put it on the trigger, and put the gun to his forehead.

Metal clashes with iron, producing a metallic sound.

[Shoot.]

“No, I can’t!”

The robber didn’t say a word twice. He forced his finger and pulled the trigger.

bang!

Gunshots ring out from the shelter.

Through the thief’s view screen, he saw a crumpled pistol bullet hitting the ground.

The cadets’ eyes follow the rolling bullets.

[If I could kill you.]

The robber rubbed his scratched forehead and said.

[What are you guys doing?! Have you forgotten to stand at attention?!]

I disconnected the link to the brain implant as I watched the cadets quickly return to their original positions.

I shrugged my shoulders as I looked at Seyoung.

“Well, no matter how much you treat me like a dog, I don’t have to worry about getting fragged.”

“Ahahahaha!”

Seyoung laughed cheerfully.

* * *

After the cadets entered the training camp, representatives of the factions that had sent their sons and daughters gave them a brief greeting.

Among them was Lee Seong-bong, the commander of Yeosu.

[You don’t have to show any mercy because he’s my son. Treat him as well as you can, and if you want, break him in one or two places.]

He speaks frighteningly about the treatment of his own children.

“No matter what, I can’t do that.”

[This is not an empty promise. Every single day is a real battle. Dozens and hundreds of people die because of one officer’s foolish actions.]

Lee Seong-bong’s face was as stern as I had ever seen it before.

[With the shelter’s medical technology, wouldn’t it be possible to completely heal broken limbs?]

“That is true, but.”

[Unlike Houdae, he is quick-witted and has never experienced failure. That arrogance will catch up with him someday. I hope he learns something from the rigorous training at Shelter.]

Of course, other people didn’t ask for such harsh treatment.

[The first graduate of the only officer training institute of this era! I’m so happy that my son gets to enjoy that honor. I heard that it’s a very rigorous training course, hehe.]

Rather, there were many more people who offered bribes and asked for favors.

Unlike in the past, we live in a world where giving and receiving bribes is not at all shameful.

It feels like a kind of investment. You could think of it as something like China’s guanxi.

Of course I rejected them all.

To be exact, I guided them to donate to the police school out of consideration for the pride of the person giving it.

Because I didn’t want to be unnecessarily indebted to someone.

However, there were some types of bribes that were simply difficult to refuse.

“What did you just say?”

Even though I blurted out my informal speech in surprise, the person I was talking to on video didn’t seem to mind. Instead, he seemed to take it for granted.

The expression on the face of the president of the large explorer’s guild was ‘This will work!’ and it did.

[Regarding the robot search that you sent out in the past, we seem to have found some. Judging from the equipment you enclosed, it appears to be an entity called ‘Alpha’.]

The members of the Tanis expedition who followed me to the other side of the universe, a place that is incomparable to anything else, have been discovered.
