Episode 4. Hell of the Swamp


Buck! Buck!

Shaak-


tear A
Ugh!

dump


tear A
Haa..haa..v! Is this training not over yet?


tear V
Wake up! You're being punished. I told you clearly... 10 hours of hellish training... Get moving!


tear A
Ugh..damn!!

This is a special training ground in the swamp

aka hell of a swamp

It is literally hellish special training where you have to block all the attacks from the assassination dolls that tear N himself created in pitch-black darkness.

A is currently undergoing 10 hours of hellish special training under the guidance of V, who is furious that N's injury was caused by A's foolish mistake.

But as everyone knows, N's production and modification skills are better than anyone else's, so each and every one of the iron dolls he makes has skills similar to N's.

A's body, which had been training for two hours, was covered in cuts and bruises.

But Boss V just looked at A with his cold gaze, as if he was well known for his cruelty.


tear J
V..Are you really going to make me do 10 hours of hellish training?


tear V
I never go back on my word. If I say 10 hours, it's 10 hours.


tear J
Isn't that too much? If you keep doing that, A will die!


tear V
Seriously? Because of that guy's ridiculous mistake, N almost died. We almost lost N, who made up half of our organization!


tear J
that...


tear V
And... I don't think he's weak enough to die from this level of training. You know that, having experienced this training yourself.


tear J
.....


tear V
K! Call N and M. We need to discuss something.


tear K
All right.


tear J
I'm going back to my room. I'm tired.


tear V
No! You're still here. I have something to talk about with you too.


tear J
......?

20

20 minutes

20 minutes later!


tear N
What's going on? You called me here? Is there something wrong with the Iron Man training system?


tear m
If that were the case, J and I wouldn't have been called here.


tear V
I have something to tell you. It's something I can only tell the four of you who have completed this Iron Man training system.

N,M
...?


tear V
Let me get straight to the point. I'm thinking of increasing the difficulty of the training A is doing... What do you think?

N,M
......!


tear J
V! Are you in your right mind? Even the lowest difficulty level is already hard for A. Plus, I'm covered in bruises! And now you're going to raise the difficulty again?


tear V
I hope you don't get swayed by emotions and look at it with a broader perspective. J.


tear J
What is that...


tear V
I may be being too cold-hearted, but... given A's current abilities, he can't survive in our organization. That's why I had no choice but to come to this conclusion.


tear N
Well... he may seem calm, but his personality of losing his cool often and his bad habit of insisting on a knife rather than a gun are fatal. Look.

N stopped talking and pointed to the training ground where A was.


tear N
Right now, we're helpless against puppets who only use knives and fire guns from afar.


tear m
Then... wouldn't it be better to give them a gun from the beginning and then raise it to level 2? If using a knife is a disadvantage, it'd be better to force them to break that habit.


tear N
I think so too. V, what do you think?


tear V
Well... I don't think there are any other opinions, so let's just decide! Before we do that...


tear N
?


tear m
?


자까
?


tear N
You go in.


자까
yes..


tear V
N, you haven't forgotten, have you? The Iron Man training system requires manual manipulation of the dolls starting from stage 2...


tear J
What? Manual?


tear V
Yes. In short, you have to input all the various movements into the brains of those countless iron dolls and make them move.


tear J
Do you think that's possible now?


tear N
You did it. Stage 2, which I personally control.


tear J
No matter what, the situation is completely different now than it was then! And my head is injured too...


tear N
I really appreciate your concern, but I'm fine. For this organization, I can do anything.


tear m
N...


tear V
So it's decided?

In response to N's answer, V pressed the training pause button, temporarily stopping the movements of the iron dolls.


tear A
What are you doing?


tear V
You will now enter the second stage of the Iron Man training system. You will only be given guns as weapons.


tear A
Are you kidding me? I've only ever used a knife as an assassin. You expect me to pass the second stage armed only with a gun?


tear V
If you join our organization and remain as a member who only handles one weapon, it will be a loss for the organization's reputation.


tear A
Selfish bastard..


tear V
I have permission, so...M, give the two guns you took from the armory to A.


tear m
huh.

At V's command, M went down to the training room with the two guns he had brought beforehand and handed them to A.


tear m
I'll tell you how it works.


tear A
Okay. Who do you think I am? Do you even know how a gun works? Why isn't it firing?


tear m
That's why I said I'd tell you. Listen carefully. This is a gun that N specially made. It's perfect for beginners who are using a gun for the first time.


tear A
Are you kidding me?


tear m
Don't empathize and just listen to the explanation. Usually, you have to pull here to release the lock before pulling the trigger on a gun.


tear A
huh.


tear m
But this gun has been modified to reduce such cumbersome actions and to be released only once for rapid firing.


tear A
How do I solve it?


tear m
Just flick this bullet cap once. Then the lock inside will be completely released.


tear A
here?


tear m
And one thing to note is that when you put in bullets and close the lid, the lock automatically locks, so you have to reload the bullets and then unlock it again.


tear A
okay.


tear m
then..

As M, who had finished explaining everything, went up to the training room, V sent a signal to N, who had been preparing in advance.


tear V
N! Now start.


tear N
okay!

N, who received V's signal, moved his fingers dazzlingly on the keyboard, and the two-stage iron dolls, whose movements were inputted, began to run towards him with guns and swords.

As the iron men ran towards him, A tried to remain calm and started shooting them one by one.


tear N
Hoo... Your body vision is pretty good, isn't it? M, you gave me the auxiliary bullets properly, right?


tear m
huh.


tear A
..ugh...there's a mouse on my finger..


tear V
As expected, since I'm not used to guns, my fingers get cramps easily.


tear A
I can overcome this... I left that organization with such determination... Do you think I'll give in to this kind of training?!


tear N
.....uh..

A, who was madly firing bullets in a fit of rage, suddenly realized that he had run out of bullets and quickly reloaded.


tear A
Ah... That's why guns are annoying... Okay. Hurry up and do it again.

Grumble.. Grumble..


tear A
Huh? Why... isn't it firing?


tear J
You have to unlock it!


tear V
It's no use. All sounds here have already been blocked out.


tear J
Why don't you pull the lock?


tear V
'When people are put in an unfamiliar situation, their brains suddenly shut down and they forget what to do next.'


tear V
How would you react in this situation?

N, who saw V's gaze, muttered quietly.


tear N
So that's why they gave me that punishment...

one side,

A, who was in the training room, was in a state of panic and unable to unlock the door. His body was badly damaged from being hit multiple times.


tear A
Damn it... why the hell aren't the bullets firing! Ah...

A giant iron doll, unlike the previous iron dolls, appeared 5m away from A, boasting an enormous size and long, sharp, thorny claws.


tear A
iced coffee..


tear J
If you keep doing this, A will die! Stop the training now. V!


tear V
No, keep going like this. If he dies here... that's his fate.


이지원
