When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield

The so-called ‘F-word’ swear words poured out of Jose’s mouth.

It’s a rough and low-quality term, but it didn’t mean anything bad.

It was because it was full of compliments, such as saying that he was good as f*ck, that he was f*cking crazy, and that he used goddamn magic.

As Kang-tae was about to start laughing as he adjusted to the light, Marcus intervened in the middle.

“Okay, why don’t you shut up and take out $100?”

“… sh*t.”

José sighed and rummaged through his pockets.

Right after Kang-tae went inside, the two made a bet. About whether the record of 2 minutes, called the horse’s record, which even the unofficial 1st place in the training center could not be broken could be shortened.

And the result was marked on the small electronic signboard in front of my eyes.

[RECORD: 01’56″10]

A whopping 1 minute and 56 seconds.

Jose, who had bet that it would last over two minutes, had no choice but to take out $100.

As Marcus grinned and pulled away, Jose’s eyes soon turned to Kang-tae.

Even though he was annoyed at the money being ripped off, he still looked surprised.

“Lee, what the hell did you do?! Have you ever been to this f*cking training center? Or are you clairvoyant like Christopher Reeve?”

“Who is Christopher Reeve?”

“Superman! I mean the original Superman. I don’t know?”

“ah… Was that him?”

“So you know how to do clairvoyance too? really? Or how did you break 2 minutes? I thought you would win first place, but I didn’t expect you to finish this fast. The first place record here is 2 minutes and 6 seconds. 2 minutes and 6 seconds! But how did you shorten that by 10 seconds? If it wasn’t for the jam in the middle, a few more seconds there… … .”

As they continued to talk, Marcus, who had $100 in his pocket, cut it off.

“I can’t listen anymore. How long are you going to talk about it?”

“Marcus, aren’t you curious about that? 2 minutes and 6 seconds is f*cking fast, right? I mean, how do you get 10 more seconds off there? Wouldn’t it have been faster if it hadn’t been for the catch in the middle?”

“Yeah, I think so too. It’s fantastic because it’s not amazing. But not like you. If you’re going to do this, why don’t you learn to rap? I will teach you, so would you like to learn? After all, I was 50 Cent in Detroit.”

“Don’t be boring, the most poor of the blacks teaches what rap… … .”

Between two people exchanging words as if they were fighting.

Jake looked at Kang-tae in silence.

It was because it wasn’t as great as Jose said. Rather, there was a curious part.

‘There are always variables in the field, and each person has a different way of acting, so there is no such thing as a standard, but… … .’

After a moment of thought, Jake’s mouth opened.

“It looks rusty, Lee.”

“… yes?”

Kang-tae, who had retracted the bolt and emptied the chamber, blinked and asked again, and Jake asked with a calm face.

“I mean posture or movement. I was like an old man who retired and took a break for a while. Was your style originally like that? Or is there another reason?”

Then José and Marcus, who had been bickering, stopped what they were doing and reacted similarly to Jake.

“… That’s right, not as much as the team leader, but I thought it was a bit unfortunate.”

“Um, yes… The movements were a little big and heavy for someone who had just been discharged. Should I say it’s unnecessary?”

Kang-tae’s record was overwhelmingly great, so I didn’t bother to mention it, but the movements captured by the monitor seemed to be quite lacking compared to his shooting skills.

To be precise, I feel like I need to go through a little more practice or training.

In the meantime, Kangtae, who was blinking, asked again.

“… Did it really look like that?”

“Yeah, maybe it felt that way because it contrasted more with your marksmanship, but it felt like I was back after taking a 10-year break.”

At those words, Jose and Marcus’ eyes naturally moved to Jake and then to Kang-tae.

At the same time, Kang Tae’s mouth opened.

“and… … .”

It was something I hadn’t even thought of, and even though it was an accurate point, it was an admiration that flowed spontaneously.

‘I thought there wasn’t much of a difference, but it turned out… … ?’

There was a new surprise in Kang-tae’s eyes as he looked at Jake.

‘… It’s really not normal.’

Same with Marcus and Jose, who agreed right away.

Soon, Kang Tae’s mouth opened.

“If you point out anything, I will fix it.”

There were no excuses or excuses to make otherwise.

I thought I moved as I had learned and trained, but that was because all the team members pointed it out.

In particular, Jake even said that he felt like he had taken a break for 10 years.

Then, a concise answer came back.

“There is nothing you need to fix.”

“yes?”

“I wonder, but that’s all. With that rusty style, you made every operation a ridiculous success. Just broke the record in the test. But what would you suggest I fix? You are not a rookie mercenary from PMC who came to take CQB lectures, but a veteran who has served in the Korean special forces for 10 years, right? With more operations and training, all the rust will disappear. If you want a rusty style, there’s no reason to fix it.”

It was a long word that Jake didn’t usually say.

Kang-tae hesitated, and Jose and Marcus also looked at Jake with quite surprised faces.

‘Wow, really… It’s a pretty cool guy. The more I look, the more genuine people are.’

Kang Tae’s thoughts led to light imagination. What if Jake had been a senior in the military, or if he had been an officer or commander.

‘It’s okay, this is a romance… … !’

Of course, there were decent seniors in the unit I served in, but none like Jake. He was also a character that would be hard to find in the first place even if he wasn’t in that unit.

Soon, Jake shifted his gaze to Rachel as if his business was over.

“Now Rachel, it’s your turn.”

The atmosphere was settled in one word, and Rachel nodded.

“I’ll go in.”

A slight strain was reflected on her face.

It wasn’t because I had to start testing soon.

It was because of the video that Kangtae had just left.

‘… It’s made clear with this video. Lee is such a powerful person that even Delta or SEAL agents wouldn’t dare deal with him. A man worthy of being called a true human weapon… It’s like a weapon that will never be defeated in a one-on-one, one-on-many battle.’

After calculating the whole time, Rachel came to a short conclusion.

‘We need to secure the video first and report it to the director. If it goes to the CIA or Homeland Security, it’s going to be noisy.’

* * *

After Rachel entered and exited the one-man course, the rest of the team was also tested.

The results were all similar.

Mid-to-late half of about 2 minutes.

It just reaffirmed that my test result of 1 minute and 56 seconds was unrivaled, and nothing else was out of the ordinary.

I just heard Jose’s Superman joke again.

After that, the team course was conducted.

It was conducted in a building much larger than the one-man course.

Gunshots, explosions, and screams could be heard from the speakers everywhere, and the targets were hanging from rails in the ceiling and moving around, but it wasn’t too difficult.

It’s not as good as the one-person course, but this was also because I played it several times when playing on PC.

I took the lead and shortened the record, and at the same time, I matched my breath with my teammates while watching the situation moderately.

No matter how talented you are, there are probably things you can’t solve on your own.

I repeated the team course for almost two hours, and during a short break, I looked at the information board that was neatly prepared and then stopped.

There were CQB training and various firearms lectures, but it was because there was a striking flyer attached to them.

[Martial Arts Team Coaching Professional Instructor MMA Lecture]

It was similar to what was in Lareple.

You had to receive training for a certain amount of time, and after completing it, only kicking and punching motions were added.

It worked to the point of giving the user fun, but it was a game to the end.

reality will be different.

It won’t just increase punching and kicking motions.

Close combat skills will increase.

‘Okay, let’s try it.’

I decided to take the course and entered my contact information into my Motorola cell phone.

From the beginning, I was thinking of learning MMA or whatever.

It was because, as a front-line combatant, he had to prepare for a situation where he could not use weapons.

Of course, my body is tall and strong, but that was all.

I didn’t know what to do.

Although he was accustomed to special martial arts, he had no power at all because he had been neglected for 10 years. In the first place, I had been living as an old man with a limp, and since I came into the game, I have only been running and strength training, so in reality, I was no different from a scarecrow in close quarters.

Of course, I was full of cans, but that was something all special forces members had.

In other words, I was in a situation where I had to learn something right now.

So it was time to call the number you entered.

Tiriri- Tiri-ri-

The bell rang.

Not from me, from Jake.

At the same time, Jose, Marcus, and even Rachel’s gazes gathered on him.

It was because Jake, who worked as a mercenary in this remote land, with no family other than military personnel, was the obvious person to talk to.

That is Ron Myers, General Manager of G&G Corp’s Southwest Asia Branch.

It seemed that the prediction was correct.

Jake finished the call before he knew it and glanced outside.

“Clean up and come out.”

It meant returning.

As soon as the words were finished, almost reflexively, I packed up the equipment I had unpacked and went outside, and sat down in a row just like when I started.

And the moment the door closed, Jose stepped on the accelerator and started.

At the same time, he glanced behind him and asked.

“Chief, why are you here all of a sudden? What did you say?”

I was also curious about that, so I looked at Jake, and a short answer came back, like an order.

“They told me to come back soon.”

“Ah, yes! All right. I will stomp hard.”

Booooooooooooooo!

At the same time as José’s exaggerated answer, Mitsubishi’s old engine roared as if overdoing it, and the car pushed forward as if leaning against the seat.

In the meantime, I thought about the situation for a while, but nothing came to mind yet.

It was because there were several missions that started suddenly, like the joint operation with Sairet Matkal, and they often changed from time to time.

Fortunately, it was a game, so there was a pattern or something, but I couldn’t pinpoint anything.

‘I’ll have to go and listen.’

However, there was one catch.

‘… I think the way it turns is similar to playing a game?’

Quests come in and the main story progresses as soon as you have a break, it felt like a game flow with a sense of speed.

Just like giving short-term goals so that users don’t feel bored.

‘Doesn’t this make it harder to block the ending? No, is the State Department going to help you? Niimi… What’s going on… … .’

While the trouble is so deep.

The car stopped in front of the command container at the plant construction site, and as soon as I got inside, I realized things were not going well.

The Bravo team waiting in the compound was armed and gathered, because there were a few outsiders on one side.

However, they are armed like us, not technicians or executives at this site.

After looking at it for a moment, something popped into my mind.

‘… Is this a little tight?’

The moment I sat down with my thoughts, I immediately heard Ron’s voice.

“I’ll start with the main point.”

While the eyes of our Charlie team, Bravo team, and a few outsiders gathered, Ron displayed a map with a red dot on the screen.

“A call for rescue came in.”

It was an area of Iraq close to Al Jamash.
