EP.485 People who do not stand up when they see injustice (3)

***

Saaah – the scenery revealed with the sound of dust flying… It was a training ground.

A training ground where boys wearing sandbags, not soldiers or students, are running around.

-number 3! Run faster! If you are any later than now, you will be eliminated from today!

-Number 11! Who told you to stop?!

-Number 8! How many times do I tell you to speed up!

Soldiers who appeared to be instructors were shouting loudly at the running boys. But none of them called their names.

The boys, who were called by number, seemed to be familiar with this situation and followed the instructor’s orders by exerting their strength.

And how long did it run like that?

When some boys who could not endure the training collapsed from exhaustion, the instructors rushed over and dragged them away.

Dawn, who did not want to know what would happen to the boys, forced her eyes to focus on the training ground. She, to be precise, looked at the boy who was running in a particularly outstanding manner.

no. 1. A boy who looks very similar to Kim Kang-hyuk.

“What on earth does this scenery have to do with patriotism?”

When Dawn asked him, Number 1 stopped running and said.

“Do you know why the great President Syngman Rhee failed to prevent the Korean War and the invasion of the Soviet Union and the United States?”

It was a random question. Dawn answered indifferently.

“In the documentary I watched, it was said that it was a situation where no one could stop it.”

“No, you are wrong. His power was abundant and overflowing. only… “The vessels of the Joseon Peninsula, which had just become independent, were insufficient to embrace him.”

“uh… “That’s an interesting perspective.”

“It’s not a point of view, it’s a fact. “If he had just one more wise and capable subordinate, our people’s portal would never have been taken away.”

“… Load? Then here… ?”

“It’s a breeding ground for nurturing talented people who will assist you.”

“… .”

farm. It was an inappropriate word to use for humans. Number 1 stopped walking while Soemiri held his hand tightly.

Immediately after, the scenery changed again.

Number 1, who had been running while wearing a sandbag, was now sitting in the classroom dressed neatly. It was a luxurious classroom that was indistinguishable from modern classrooms.

-If one of the two is inevitable, it is safer to be feared than to be loved.

However, the content taught by the teacher standing in front of the classroom blackboard was a bit strange.

“Monarch theory… Are you teaching caesarism to an adolescent child?”

Dawn asked, barely suppressing her desire to be sarcastic. Number 1, who was diligently taking notes, nodded her head confidently.

“It’s not just Caesarea. “We learned everything to become talented people who can assist you.”

“… .”

“History, social studies, math, fighting, military law, military law, and… Anti-communism!”

After saying that, Number 1 suddenly stood up, turned around, and threw the pen.

Whilick, pop! The pen that flew right through the photo stuck at the back of the classroom.

A photo of Stalin already full of holes.

After seeing the medal hanging on Stalin’s chest in the photo, Dawn struggled to talk.

“Then what about mana? “Not everyone could become a superhuman.”

“By-products that were out of date went to their proper place.”

“… .”

“The only ones who can remain here are perfect talents who have gathered in response to the call of the times and the nation. “As we shouldered the historical mission of reviving our country, we were not allowed to fall short.”

His voice was full of pride as he answered. It was the pride of a human raised in a breeding farm.

When Dawn saw that, she was neither sarcastic nor impressed.

Pride is an extremely personal emotion.

Just as a janitor has the pride of being a janitor, livestock can have their own pride.

But Soemiri’s thoughts were different. She, who was hiding behind Dawn, held his hand tightly and said.

“Dawn, do I have to keep listening to that nonsense? “Can’t I just turn to another memory?”

“Other memories? “Can you change it?”

In the meantime, was he interpreting the dream inside the vision artifact? As her dawn turned to look at her, her somiri nodded her head.

“yes. I’ve been looking into my dreams since the moment I came here. There were so many memories contained in the relic that I couldn’t interpret them all… “You can at least change your mental image right away.”

Soemi-ri, who had said that, looked at Kim Kang-hyuk once more.

“Considering that you haven’t noticed me, it seems like the magic that deals with imagery itself is simple compared to the capacity contained within the arcane artifact. Maybe I lacked technical skills… .”

“… “I have another plan.”

As Yeo-myeong continued the conversation, Soe-miri agreed and added.

“Don’t worry too much though. “Once the analysis is finished, you will be able to leave immediately.”

“… I’m fine. “I’m worried about you.”

“yes? Me?”

“Yeah, I think something worse will come out in the future… “Are you okay?”

Dawn folded her hands on the back of her hands. Then Soemiri answered with a brave smile.

“I’m fine. “Even if it looks like this, we have all seen the war with the United States.”

“okay? But that war didn’t happen decades ago… .”

Before Dawn could say anything, Soemiri pointed her wand at the sky. And just like that – Gigi Geek!

Following her wand, the classroom landscape distorted, and a new landscape unfolded.

***

As soon as the new scenery unfolded, Dawn could not help but frown.

Because a terrible scene was waiting for him, incomparable to the classroom just moments ago.

Walls soaked in blood, bodies of a family rolling on the floor.

-Did you handle it well?

-Uh, I completed the confirmation and kill cleanly.

In a scene that reminded me of a B-grade gore movie set, there were only two things alive.

Kim Kang-hyuk, who has now become a young man, and someone who appears to be his colleague. The two people were having a conversation while skillfully removing the body.

-But this time it’s Mr. Kim again. The guy you killed last time was also Mr. Kim, right?

-To be exact, 3 times in a row. I think there are a lot of problems with young politicians these days, especially Mr. Kim.

-Well, it would still be a communist thing. This guy is the son-in-law of a Daegu communist who died a few years ago.

-damn. The other teams are being scolded and listening to His Excellency Ki-Bung Lee’s orders, but we’re just cleaning up trash like this… .

The voice was so calm that it was hard to believe it was a conversation between people who massacred people, or more precisely, entire families.

“Can we use this scene as evidence later?”

Soemiri turned her head as if she had seen something disgusting, but asked Yeomyeong if it was useful.

Dawn shook her head.

“No, that will be difficult.”

“why? The murder case of a politician, not just anyone else… .”

“Look at the calendar date over there. “It’s so old.”

As Soemiri followed his fingers, she saw a calendar with the year 1959 written on it. The memory was so vivid that I didn’t realize it, but this happened decades ago.

The dead are silent, and time is a coffin lid that adds silence.

Returning to reality, no matter how much I searched, it seemed difficult to even find the identity of the dead person, let alone find evidence.

All we can learn from this is that the Korean government has been killing politicians almost from the beginning.

“… “Let’s move on to another scene.”

As soon as Dawn could look away from the scene, Soemiri swung her wand again.

***

Kim Kang-hyuk returned to the prison where he first met.

He was lying sprawled on the floor wearing a black school uniform, commonly known as a gakuran, with several places torn and dried blood as if he had been severely beaten.

-no. 1. Why on earth did you join the reactionaries?

And beyond the prison bars, a man who appeared to be an instructor was interrogating him. Kim Kang-hyuk gasped and opened his mouth.

-Cough, they… It’s not a reaction.

The instructor’s expression distorted. He spoke in a mournful voice.

-no. 1! What on earth are you thinking when you say something like that? Are you still out of your mind?! They insulted His Excellency Ki-Bung Lee!

-no… They are just students who rose up for freedom… .

-freedom? What kind of freedom do you communists have? Freedom to sell the country to Stalin?

The instructor jumped up and grabbed Kim Kang-hyuk by the collar beyond the iron bars. But Kim Kang-hyuk did not stop talking even as his blood dripped from his torn lip.

-Student leaders are not communists… Everyone was holding His Excellency Syngman Rhee’s writings… they… I am a patriot… .

Dawn found a burning conviction on Kanghyuk’s face. Although she was very short-lived, it was a belief that could not be hidden by anything.

-This bastard… Are you crazy? Just because of that, you disobeyed orders and joined those guys?

-A tree branch that has grown bent cannot suddenly straighten, and a child that has grown up sedentary cannot travel far in a day… Ha, the students just did as His Excellency said. The success or failure of any political system is… Cough, it always depends on the level of the country’s people… .

The instructor flinched when he heard those words and lost sight of Kanghyuk Kim. Because you were moved by his words? No, it wasn’t.

Jeez.

It was because of someone approaching from beyond the prison hallway.

Although I couldn’t see his face because of the darkness of the hallway, the look in the man’s eyes toward Kim Kang-hyuk was unusual.

Kind eyes that resemble those of a Buddha statue.

Who is it? The man spoke while Yeo-myeong felt an indescribable discomfort while looking at him.

-Spirit of independence. These are the words written in His Excellency Syngman Rhee’s book. I learned it very well.

Contrary to expectations, his voice was much younger and more ordinary than expected. It was a voice you wouldn’t even remember if you heard it on the market floor.

However, seeing that the instructor was fidgeting, it was clear that he was a very high-ranking person.

The man continued speaking leisurely.

-Did the students gather at the Gyeongbuk Provincial Office to keep those words?

Kim Kang-hyuk answered in a shattered voice.

-yes… That’s right… .

Dawn could feel the anticipation in his voice, or something more earnest than that.

He was begging. To this unidentified man.

Did the man feel that too? He paused for a moment.

And just as Yeo-myeong was examining the man’s whole body to find the cause of the strangeness, the man asked the instructor, not Kim Kang-hyuk.

-Instructor Park. I said that number 1 was the candidate with the best performance.

-yes! That’s right.

-hmm… In that case, I guess I should give it one more chance. Teach him the Cheondun Sword Technique and send him back to his students.

-yes? but… Well, the Cheondun Sword Technique… .

Instructor Park looked back and forth between the man and Kim Kang-hyuk with a surprised expression, but the man spoke in a tone that did not allow for a counterargument.

-I am giving this order through my own authority. I’ll have to check for myself to see if what he says is correct.

The moment Kim Kang-hyuk burst into tears at those merciful words, Dawn realized the true nature of the strangeness.

That bastard… Are you looking at me?

“Miri, step back.”

“yes?”

“right now.”

As soon as she took a step back, Dawn quietly drew her sword.

Only then did Soemiri realize that the eyes in the darkness were facing Dawning.

Eyes that seem kind, or just half-open.

Instead of panicking after seeing this, Soemiri grasped the situation with the calmness of an elf.

“… “Dawn, do you remember earlier when you suspected that we might have done something here?”

“Yes, I remember.”

“… I guess the word has become a seed. It’s not Minister Kim Kang-hyuk’s memory… “That seems to be the core of this arcane artifact.”

“Is it really a vision artifact in the first place?”

“Well, um… If we learn anything from here, wouldn’t it be a vision artifact…? ?”

As she trailed off, the body of the guy in the dark began to wriggle.

Soon, Soemiri saw the shadow of a tentacle slowly rising from the guy’s body and tightened his grip on his staff.

But Dawn’s reaction was different. He opened his eyes wide and raised the corners of his mouth like a man who has found a treasure.

It had to be that way. This is because it was the same mana contained in the sacrificial lamb sisters’ gold.

“… After all, coming here was the right answer.”

“yes? “Does Dawn know what that is?”

“No, I have to find out from now on.”

Immediately after Dawn finished speaking, the body of the guy who was slurping came out loud! Countless tentacles came out and started rushing into the hallway.

Although it was a terrifying sight, the dawn brought on the light of the comet without any hesitation.

[uh? Wait, where are we-]

The very next moment, the voice of Hye-seong, who had been dragged into someone else’s image without knowing why, rang out.

The comet’s light hit Kanghyuk Kim, Instructor Park, and all the tentacles.
