25 Squad 13 4 (2/2)

Within the first years, no matter how distinguished a student was, he was only a young child. However, starting from second year, everyone's bodies became stronger and sturdier than a full grown adult.

This resulted in much more brutal training drills.

”Han Lee, you specialize in close combat. Kuro, you excel in psychic skills.”

Kato spoke shortly. He looked down at Han. He had a coercive attitude.

”Should I call you squad leader? Kato.”

”I heard you were transferred here from class B. Your psychic skills ranked the lowest. I'll be frank, I brought you into our team for Kuro's sake alone. You guys seemed to be one set. I don't have any expectations out of you Han. Just don't get in our way.”

Han's brows quirked. This was blatant contempt. The squad members snickered.

”Ah, ah.”

Kuro looked taken aback and looked to Han. The corner of Han's lips rose up as he laughed. He offered a handshake to Kato.

”I'll do my best not to get in your way. Kato.”

”Call me Squad Commander Kato.”

”I got it. Squad Commander Kato.”

Han laughed coldly and walked to his room.

The second years used private rooms. They were also scheduled more free period time. During their first year, it had felt like school. However, second year focused on the military aspects.

”It's okay, there's no problem.”

Han mumbled to himself. He put up a hologram photo onto his desk. It was a photo of his younger siblings in Korea.

'I just need to endure and my siblings won't need to worry about food.'

Han had nightmares regularly before he came to ark. His siblings who had died of starvation came to haunt his dreams. After he registered into Ark, those dreams had stopped altogether.

Han's door opened. Kuro stepped in.

”Are you okay?”

”Huh? There are high handed people like that everywhere. More so for people they don't welcome. Kuro, don't mind me. Display your skills with everything you got so that nobody can look down on you. You must show them just who you are.”

Han could easily laugh off these moments. He had had to face these types of people within a hell-like environment while looking after his younger siblings from adults since he could remember.

'Kuro's weak minded. If Kuro were to fail his role in the team, they would pressure him a lot. His psychic skills weaken greatly under pressure. Many times, he fails completely.'

Han blankly looked to Kuro.

'To start, Kuro doesn't have the personality that fits with Ark.'

Han unpacked his belongings.

He could easily reach the cabinets that were higher up. He suddenly realized how much taller he had become.

Han glanced to the mirror that was by his closet. He had already become accustomed to his own body. Now, he was a second year.
