The Novel's Extra (0-100)

Chapter 9 - Within Everyday Life (1)

Wednesday's first class was anti-personnel training, a 2 hour class where cadets simply paired up and sparred. Cadets used training weapons to avoid injuries and make grading easier. Kim Suho paired with Yi Yeonghan and Shin Jonghak paired with Kim Horak.

"Uwoooh."

"Rank 934 Kim Hajin, get up!"

"I, I can't."

As for me, I paired with the anti-personnel combat instructor rather than a cadet because there were no training guns. I was stuck fighting the instructor since a real gun could cause serious injury.

"What do you mean you can't!"

The female instructor ordered me to give my all. Exactly 1 minute later, it was the instructor giving it her all. It seemed my gift threatened her more than she anticipated.

"Get up!"

She furiously grabbed my collar when a bullet grazed her forearm. I suddenly regretted spending my first 2 weeks in this world loafing around. I should've been working out.

"I can't continue."

"Yes, you can!"

"My body won't move."

"It will!"

The instructor forcefully pulled me up.

"Put your guard up and do something!"

She ordered, but the handgun in my hand felt heavy. I pulled the trigger half-heartedly. The instructor blocked the bullet with her hand and tackled me. I couldn't resist and fell. A stinging pain coursed through my body.

"I give up. I give up."

"You didn't move after shooting. I said do something!"

Chak! She slapped my face.

"GET UP!"

Chak! I was starting to get annoyed. Come to think of it, wasn't this woman younger than me?

"I said, GET UP!"

I refused to take it a third time. I grabbed her arm, then...

"You fucker."

I bit the instructor's hair.

"Ah! What are you doing!? 934... Ak! Let go! Let go! Let go!"

I gnashed on her hair and pulled back as though my life depended on it. My strange actions turned the surroundings silent, but I didn't have the time to pay attention to something like that.

"T-This is a warning! Let go! I said, LET GO!"

This hair, I'll bite it off. I swear I'll bite it off.

"Y-You...!"

I could see the instructor's fist in front of my eyes. I had no memories of what happened next, but it didn't feel too bad since I managed to gain 40 SP.

Cube also had various clubs. Head instructor Kim Soohyuk said we wouldn't be able to enjoy our youths, but I didn't create Cube to be so horrible. While it was normal to be covered in monster blood or to kill djinns from time to time, Cube encouraged cadets to enjoy their hobbies for mental health. Being in a relationship was technically prohibited, but tacitly allowed by all the faculty.

Cube's clubs were no different from college circles. Club promotions happened in the second week after first year cadets arrived.

I set the number of clubs in my novel to around 100, but that might not have been realistic considering the school only had 5000 cadets. A club existed for practically any topic: hobby clubs like bowling, pool, VR, and also academic clubs like studying, martial arts, and training.
