40 Squad Leader, Han Lee 9 (2/2)

”The psychic drill instructor had told me to focus on my psychic strength rather than my physical strength. He said it would be better if I was an expert at one thing rather than being a master of none.”

Kuro explained. Kijo furrowed his brows like he had been waiting for these words.

”Are you saying my words are a load of rubbish?”

He didn't hide his hostility for the other in the least. Kijo looked down on Kuro while raising his voice gradually.

”Ah, no. That's not what I'm saying but it's what my drill instructors told me.”

”Haa, I just wanted to help you out, but you're making me lose face by treating me this way.”

He was trying to force the situation. But Kuro was getting affected by his words a bit. Kuro's eyes reflected confusion.

'Maybe I made a mistake saying those words….'

”Sorry, I didn't mean it that way.”

”It's fine. I just wanted to be your friend, but your words are like that. I won't just let you step all over me.”

Kijo said coldly, pushing Kuro. Kuro hesitated a bit and grasped onto Kijo's clothes.

'This guy is a total idiot, isn't he? How did this kind of guy get promoted into second year?'

”I'm so sorry. Let me apologize.”

”Hm, hmm. Then, are we friends from now on? Kuro.”

He pat Kuro's shoulder while speaking. His lips held a crooked sneer.

'You're now my underling.'

Kijo stabbed at Kuro's sense of guilt. Kuro spoke like he would do whatever for him.

”Ah, it's a cat.”

While chatting, Kuro discovered a cheese colored cat.

Many cats permanently resided on the artificial island, Ark. In the beginning stages when Ark was being built, many individuals suffered from loneliness and raised pets to cope. The pets that people had raised bred together and multiplied to the current population today. These cats would drop into the student dorms for food scraps.

'We were in the middle of an important conversation here. Tsk.'

Kijo clicked his tongue and kicked the cat. Kuro didn't have enough time to stop him. The cat went flying and slammed against the far wall. The sound of its bone breaking seemed to echo in the area. The cat twitched and its body spasmed.

”Ah, ah.”

Kuro groaned from the sudden shock. Kijo spoke matter of factly.

”My day becomes unlucky whenever I see cats in this place. They're devils.”

Kuro gripped his hands into fists. His body trembled from head to toe.

”You're wrong. They are considered mystical creatures from where I'm from. Also… you shouldn't treat animals who can't speak for themselves so cruelly.”

”Well, anyway. Where did we stop? Canute likes cola, Jose likes ice cream right? Hmm, this is an important matter. What does our squad leader Han like?”

”I don't have anything to say to you.”

Kuro said coldly. He walked to the cat with heavy steps. The cat was close to death. Kuro's sixth sense was superior than normal psykers and he could tell instantly. He could feel the tears welling in his tears about to burst out. Kuro was more tender hearted than the children his age. He had much sensitivity that didn't fit with the military lifestyle.

”Hey, are you going to talk like that to me again? There are tons of cats like that in Ark.”

The cat stopped breathing.

”I'm going to dig its grave.”

”Just toss it in the rubbish.”

Kijo tried to snatch the cat from Kuro. Kuro's eyes grew wide. Blue light glowed from his eyes.

”Let go.”

Kuro words were short, but stern. His determination seemed to make his strength exponentially stronger. A chilling psychic wave flowed like a tidal wave. The sand and dust from their surroundings began floating in the air.

Wwwuuu!

Cold sweat fell from Kijo's forehead. The steel rubbish bin next to him was instantly crushed. The rubbish bin was crumpled into the size of a tiny fist through telekinesis.

”H,huh?'

'This isn't how it should be.'

Kijo became dumbfounded. This had been the first time he had seen Kuro getting mad. Kuro had always laughed off all sorts of harsh jokes and bullying. However, due to this personality type Kijo had forgotten one important aspect.

”Get lost. Kijo.”

Kuro's blue eyes made him look like a goblin. Kijo shut his mouth and nodded. He realized he might get himself killed by making the wrong move. His whole body became drenched in sweat. His instincts warned him that he was in grave danger.

”Haa, haa.”

Kijo could only breath after escaping from Kuro. The manifestation and surge of psychic power had made it hard to breath. Such density of psychic energy was enough to reverse the flow of oxygen.

'He's psycho, wanting to kill a man for kicking a measly cat.'

Kijo felt overwhelming regret. He had let his emotions get the better of himself, but he never knew the cat would die from such a weak kick.

The next squad battle would be capture the flag. This was one of the battles that Han had the most confidence in. He had trained for this type of battle since his first year of Ark. Han gathered his squad members and briefed everyone on today's battle plans. He would divide their squad into three teams with the designated leaders of Han, Canute, and Jose. The three teams would attack the opponent's command center in rotations.
