Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack.
After the crackling sounds, the trainees’ noses were invariably crushed.
As if it were an Edeya, nobody could stop this bizarre phenomenon.
“Kyaaak! My nose!”
There were no exceptions for the female soldiers.
Uncommon nosebleeds were rampant between the sunken nostrils.
“Kyak! Everyone, get out of the way! He’s attacking the girls’ noses too!”
“Pa, the bracelet breaks in an instant?!”
“Don’t dodge! Just attack like this, aack! My noooose!”
Crack!
Yet another poor nasal bridge was crushed.
“Heheh! [After the crackling, the nose always collapses!] Rank S! Combat power also S!”
Park Jinsung excitedly induced guerrilla warfare.
The more chaotic the battlefield, the better for Park Jinsung.
He induced quick and decisive guerrilla warfare against a few, consistently fighting in this guerrilla warfare in a tournament format.
“[S-Spread to Enclose!]”
“Now the net is useless too. Just tear it apart.”
The bothersome Edeya was instantly crushed with the right hand. Trainees floundering in groups of two or three also lost their Edeya and their only nasal bridge.
‘Just become part of the landscape!’
Trainees clutching their broken noses inadvertently hindered the entry of other trainees.
Immediately, the next trainees attacked Park Jinsung but soon became the next landscape feature.
“Ta-da! Tournament place? Complete!”
“Hey! Move! I can’t see Park Jinsung because of you guys!”
“Wah, my nose!”
“Hehehehehehehehehe!”
Crack!
The battlefield turned out to be more excellent than Park Jinsung thought.
Moreover, the overlapping cries and nosebleeds instilled fear in the remaining trainees.
“Won’t you come in? Come on! Come on!”
If I’m careless, I might end up like that too! Better to just drop out quietly!
“Ugh! Damn it!”
“Do, don’t push! You bastards!”
“Hehe! Is this your nose, your nose?”
Crack again!
Trainees unable to endure the pain began to retire one by one.
Especially among the female soldiers, the frequency was higher, and the remaining female soldiers turned pale as they watched the scene.
Crunch!
Even the bracelet made by the school nurse couldn’t prevent the destruction of the nasal bridge and broke.
“Hehehehehe.”
“Gak!”
Park Jinsung mercilessly, really to the slightest bit, smashed the nasal bridges.
Even the trainees who had dropped out early involuntarily checked their own nasal bridges.
‘Hehehe. Anyway, Nurse will take care of this in a few hours.’
“Oh… please, Jinsung…”
The school nurse, watching from a distance, lamented her bleak future.
Twenty trainees were crying over their shattered nasal bridges, and thirty had voluntarily withdrawn.
Park Jinsung caused fifty trainees to drop out, even with trembling thighs.
‘It’s about time for some reaction from the outside.’
‘Heh, heh heh! Not bad for riff-raff!’
The principal refused to admire the situation any further and even denied the reality that was unfolding before him.
Those whose souls are graded F are beyond salvation, the lowest of the low.
A pig is supposed to act like a pig, displaying behaviors fitting its nature.
Why were only such pigs left in the pool while cute kids like Kim Seyun and Byun Kiyoung were eliminated?
‘Ugh. Perhaps the rules were in favor of Park Jinsung?’
Once they enter society, those with F-class have no future.
No vision, no honor, no power, and no money.
‘Such a guy would only tarnish our family’s image, even if we try to raise him well!’
Unfortunately, an F-grade soul does not fit the highest ranks in our lineage.
‘Haha! Perhaps!’
The principal, wrapped up in nonsensical logic, suddenly stumbled upon a question.
What would happen if Park Jinsung’s Edeya was turned off?
If even his insignificant dagger was taken away, how would he fight?
Would he still win, since he’s the type to rely on physical strength?
‘Such types often depend on just one thing. Hahaha. If I take away the dagger first, he might surprisingly become a fool.’
The principal was the type with a keen, yet unnecessary, sharpness.
Though he was often completely wrong, the outcomes always flowed in the direction he desired.
How many scenarios had he imagined on his way to becoming the leader of Haeun High?
In the principal’s scenarios, there was never an F-class pig, no matter how talented the person was.
“The Commander announces! Turn off the Edeya from this moment! Turn it off!”
“Ah, as expected.”
Park Jinsung clenched his fist with his hole-ridden right hand.
Throb, throb, throb!
Despite the searing pain, moving wasn’t much of an issue.
Park Jinsung grabbed the dagger again with his right hand.
“Haah! Let’s go, right hand!”
Throb, throb!
With a spirited shout, Park Jinsung attacked the wall right next to him.
Crash!
“Turn it off! Didn’t you hear the Commander’s broadcast to turn it off?!”
“Hehe! That’s it!”
Park Jinsung had been keeping an eye on the principal’s movements.
He had thought that the principal would definitely turn off the Edeya at least once.
If he confronted the trainees with partial killing intent, the principal might immediately turn off the Edeya.
‘So I slowly gnawed away at their noses.’
Little by little, by wearing them down, it was possible to eliminate more in one go than by attacking all at once.
It was a strategy of shaking them up, breaking their pride, guerrilla warfare, and tournament battles.
To face 250 people in a confined space alone, it was an unavoidable choice.
If pushed to a point where using Edeya was impossible, there would be no chance of winning.
“Hehe! This is what I’ve been aiming for! You… bastards!”
Then, at least a small opportunity could be created.
Crash… Boom, rumble!
A large hole appeared in the wall Park Jinsung had attacked.
Gurgle, whoosh!
A hole that extended outside the building started to drain the sewage from the pool.
The sewage, unsatisfied with the hole Park Jinsung had provided, escaped with considerable force.
“Ack! What is this?!”
“Grab onto anything! If you get swept away, you’re out!”
The trainees who had their Edeya turned off clung to anyone like in the 2002 World Cup, just to survive.
“Ugh. This is my first and last chance. Thighs, please, I beg you, hold on.”
Having moved away from the center of the current, Park Jinsung took off his combat boots and combat shirt. The combat boots, already heavy due to the muddy water, disappeared like arrows through the hole.
As the pool drained, the terrain completely changed.
“……?”
The minds of those who saw the changed terrain were also shaken.
The principal who had ordered the Edeya off, Kim Seyun anxiously worrying, Byun Kiyoung openly cursing, the instructors and Ju Ye with their eyes wide open, the trainees gaping in astonishment, the health teacher quietly applauding, the enthusiastic support from the 10th platoon leader and the stunned officers, and,
“Hmm!”
Ahn Sungho was no exception, having let out a sound close to admiration for the first time.
Everyone at the southern training ground was amazed by the scene that unfolded before them. They had wondered how they could be more amazed, but in the end, they surpassed that easily.
Gurgle!
Eventually, even the sewage that had reached up to their navels had completely drained.
What remained was a rough gravel field and the trainees holding onto each other.
Only Park Jinsung was preparing for his next move.
“Phew. I survived.”
Crack!
Park Jinsung’s bare feet, utilizing all ten toes, felt the ground.
The combat boots, heavy from soaking up water, had been discarded long ago.
“Still, this is quite alright.”
He considered giving up his combat trousers but decided to keep them on as a minimum courtesy.
The standard-issue green T-shirt, left on along with the trousers, unabashedly flaunted Park Jinsung’s physique. Clinging to him due to the water, it stirred the hearts of many female soldiers.
“Wow, amazing. Why does Park Jinsung look like that? Was he always that well-built?”
“Rumors said he was a monster even compared to muscular sergeants, but it seems true!”
“How can muscles be compressed in such a way?”
The female soldiers, who had previously dismissed Park Jinsung, blushed sneakily.
“Yaaaaaah! Disgusting!! Can’t you put on some clothes?!”
Kim Seyun screamed in frustration, but the secretly blooming blushes did not fade away.
Even though the water had drained, the mud hadn’t cleared completely. Debris from the broken wall, along with other remnants, formed a completely new field.
Park Jinsung grabbed a stone just the right size for his hand and leaped forward.
“Let’s go, thighs!”
Zap!
His thighs trembled like a tractor, forced to move by being hit.
“Yikes! It’s Park Jinsung!”
The first target in front of Park Jinsung was someone, whose waterlogged clothes seemed to be a nuisance, making a displeased face.
“Sorry. You just need to go peacefully.”
“Just a moment! Wait! Waiiit!”
Park Jinsung mercilessly struck the person.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!
He hit the head relentlessly, warranting an R-rated mark. Oddly, not a single wrinkle formed despite expectations of it smashing like a watermelon.
“Ha… Hahaha! Right! I had the bracelet the military doctor gave me! Your bracelet must have broken, right, Park Jinsung?! Hehe! You fool…!”
“Oh dear. How much planning do you think went into this? Of course, I knew about that.”
Park Jinsung stopped throwing the stone and removed the person’s bracelet.
Crack!
With the sound of a nose collapsing, the person’s body slumped.
“Cough! Park Jin…”
The action of hitting with the stone was merely performative art. However, this particular performance art squeezed out fear in its most extreme form.
To those behind, it must have looked like he was killed with the stone.
‘I’ll make use of everything I can. Hehe. Even your fear will be put to good use.’
Park Jinsung delivered one more punch to the fallen person.
Whoosh, thump!
The person’s body slightly lifted off the ground before falling back down. It was a moment that starkly displayed the power of the punch.
“Do you really have to go that far?”
“Breaking the nose, and being completely out of one’s mind…”
“No, I hate it…!”
Trainees, regardless of being male or female, were breaking out in fear, having gorged on terror.
The trainees couldn’t even attempt to roll their feet because of the heavy clothing, and they sobbed heavily. Like Park Jinsung, some tried to take off their tops, but the clothes that clung tightly refused to let them escape.
‘Scared, aren’t you? Now, let’s get a little more frightened. Blood will be spilled!’
Park Jinsung deliberately threw a pebble in front of the trainees and picked up a piece that resembled a half-moon-shaped stone knife.
A return to the Stone Age, no less!
Seeing Park Jinsung’s appearance, there must have been murderers even in the Stone Age.
“Heheh. If you don’t want a scar on your face, just scram.”
“You crazy bastard! Is that what you say to us?!”
“Shall I start with you first? Just come forward.”
“Ugh…”
The trainee who had suddenly shouted hid among the other trainees.
“It will be hard for all of you to move. From now on, prepare yourself as I will be messing around with you all to a reasonable extent.”
“Don’t be scared! Do you know how many of us there are!”
“Silence.”
The presence or absence of combat boots made a bigger difference than the trainees had imagined.
Park Jinsung quickly closed the distance and slashed a trainee’s face with the half-moon-shaped stone knife. The trainee was too busy covering his face to notice the existence of the bracelet.
Crack!
“Ack!”
Park Jinsung leisurely removed the bracelet and once again walked the path of the nose-breaking murderer.
The performance shown by Park Jinsung had an impact that could rival that of Renaissance art.
A masterpiece of fear, created by the terror of being eliminated and the fear of having one’s nose broken.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Eh, what? Oh my. This isn’t right…”
As they say, even a mouse will bite a cat when cornered.
The trainees suffered a collective seizure after being mentally assaulted.
The remaining trainees threw off their combat boots and tops. Items that were not easy to remove, yet 200 people managed to do so simultaneously, making it difficult to stop them.
“Ah. I was supposed to mess with you first!”
Park Jinsung was briefly overtaken by the trainees, as various combat boots flew over the pool like mortarboards.
Park Jinsung’s Stone Age performance worked far better than imagined.
What was intended to incite fear became a major poison instead.
“If you don’t want to die, catch that bastard Park Jinsung first!”
“I, I don’t want to die! Why should I die? Park Jinsung, you die!”
For the trainees, it was no longer about the points but survival. They all focused on survival, attacking the monstrous Stone Age murderer.
“Break the nose! The nose!”
“Then I’ll reserve the cheekbones!”
As one must stay under the eaves to avoid rain.
Just as one can avoid most but not all rain.
Even a physical monster could not completely avoid the numerous trainees, like raindrops.
“Alas… The sketch was perfect, but the coloring went horribly awry.”
“Got you!”
Park Jinsung, who had shown movement close to trickery, ultimately exposed his back.
Despite immediately trying to mimic Ahn Sungho’s style of fighting, he couldn’t stop the trainees who overwhelmed him from above.
Tumultuously.
Everyone tumultuously piled on.
“Ugh…!”
A groan filled with seriousness leaked from Park Jinsung’s mouth.
