I Became a Mental Health Care Patient in the Apocalyptic Era

Episode 5-Additional Education

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to catch me?”

Seeing Lee Seo-yeon urging me while looking at me, I robbed myself of my seat and got up.

“Ciri with outstretched hand, is this the way you keep your distance from me?”

“Don’t say anything strange and go away.”

Due to Lee Seo-yeon’s personality, if I cursed at this level, it would be normal for her to frown and completely cut off any interest she had in me, but she was still looking down at me with a smile.

“You’re a really cute person. Do you think I’ll be fooled if I act like that in the current situation?”

If you say anything more, it will only dry you up.

She just ignored her at my side and tried to pass by her, but she jerked her body and stopped in front of her.

“Where are you going in such a hurry? Come talk to me.”

“I’ll tell you one last time. I don’t want to talk to you.”

“I’ll help you pay for your additional education.”

The moment I heard her words, I stopped without realizing it.

Since I did not have the money to receive additional education, I tried to make up for it by reading books and giving personal training, but there is a difference between learning from a proper instructor and training myself.

“Are you tempted?”

“What are the benefits of supporting me?”

When I asked in a sharp tone, a deep smile appeared on her lips.

It was a really dirty smile because it made me feel like it was laughing at me, but also because it was so cute that I was going crazy.

“Once I support you, I suffer little loss.”

Of course it is.

Because you come from a prestigious family that cannot be compared to someone like Lee Joo-eun.

“However, the benefits are huge. As Yang Ga-hyun said, a person with strong beliefs like you has that much power. If you think of investing in a lottery ticket with a very high probability of success, it’s not that much of a loss.”

“I have no intention of working for you.”

“Well? Could I?”

Lee Seo-yeon stroked my hair.

“You know. Following me is the best option for you. You know that it’s better to follow me, even if you have to call me master, than to do it alone, right?”

Her face hardened with repulsion at the expression as if she was blatantly forcing me to obey.

Anyway, my face is covered with a scarf, so I won’t be able to see it well, but my emotions will be conveyed well with just my eyes.

“Pu-sup, I’m kidding. Joke, even if you don’t come under me, it doesn’t seem like a loss if you provide an environment where outstanding talent can receive proper education.”

She looked down at me with an innocent smile, as if she had a lustful expression.

“And, just seeing you with a humiliated face while being supported by me, I think I’ll be able to get all the rewards I can get.”

Lee Seo-yeon looked at me with a clear smile.

“Choose. You’re not going to get any money for nothing?”

I set aside her antipathy for Lee Seo-yeon for a while and began to think rationally.

It is always good to receive additional education, also called after school.

Even in the game, the level of time efficiency is different from personal training, and in reality, there will probably be a gap in efficiency that can be said to be overwhelming when it comes to learning with the body.

It’s not like you have to obey her.

You just have to take her money.

‘If it becomes a relationship between a boss and a subordinate rather than a friend, you might not be drawn to the main story.’

The fact that you shouldn’t be close to the main characters is also because a weak human like me can’t survive if you get dragged into a dangerous story. It was very likely not to.

“I’ll take it.”

“Okay, charge me later.”

As if Lee Seo-yeon knew that, she patted me on the head and left.

Her steps seemed so light.

– Drurrureuk.

“Are you going to receive additional training?”

What do you ask after putting everything inside?

Looking at the instructor, who had an incomparably brighter expression, he nodded softly.

*******

My talent is trash.

You may be surprised at the sudden self-loathing, but this is not that I hate myself, it is just looking at me from an objectified point of view.

I’m not saying that talent is trash simply because the body is weak.

The sense to move the body was too lacking.

I could tell the moment I swung the sword.

This body is said to have no talent for swordsmanship, aside from the strength of its physical abilities.

So, originally, I was going to abandon all physical activities and accumulate knowledge to become a staff member of a certain unit.

It was a very inefficient way to call it a way to roll an Awakener, but that was the place that suited me.

However, as long as Lee Seo-yeon gave her money for additional education, she could somehow roll her body to become stronger.

‘This is how it works.’

You can apply for any additional education you want.

Those who wanted to learn swordsmanship could apply for swordsmanship, and they could freely apply for spearmanship if it was spearmanship, or bowmanship if it was a bow.

When enough cadets flock to the subject they applied for and enough money is collected to give it to the instructor, the lecture is held.

At first, I tried to fill it with administrative positions unconditionally, but I wrote down my gun skills with the thought that there must be a minimum force to protect me.

In this worldview, as always in the worldview where Awakeners fly around, guns are weapons that do not function properly as combat power meters.

It was a very economical force in that it could create troops capable of stable combat power in a short training time, but it was a very inefficient subject to teach to awakened people who could grow as much as they could with effort.

That’s why I thought it would never work because there weren’t enough people, but why did I get an instructor?

‘Is it rather cheap because it’s a gun?’

Since other subjects are the exclusive property of the Awoken, you have to hire an Awakener to teach them, but in the case of gun skills, it may be much cheaper to find an instructor as it is a weapon specialized for use by non-Awakened people, not Awakened people. There was.

Anyway, I moved to the place assigned to me as soon as the regular class was over at 4:00 to learn the gun skills assigned for 4 hours each on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

‘It’s so small.’

In the first place, there were not many people learning, so I knew that they would assign a small building, but it was so small that I wondered if it was too small.

I wondered how the building was so small that it seemed like it would fill up with about 10 people.

“Are you here?”

As I entered the building, I heard a sound from inside.

“Yes, I am.”

Unknowingly, my body stiffened at the voice that seemed to be full of charisma even after listening to it roughly.

“Then let’s move slowly.”

The person who came out of the building had a very familiar face to my eyes.

You might ask how familiar his face is because he’s the first person I’ve seen today, but that means he’s a person who has appeared a lot in the game’s cutscenes.

“Whoops!”

“What are you so surprised about? First time seeing a prosthetic arm?”

The woman, who appears to be in her early thirties, frowns as she points to her arm.

She looked like she was only in her early 30s, but she was actually a human in her late 40s.

The reason I know so much about her is because she was a famous war hero in her game.

“Choi… Choi So-ah, aren’t you a hero?”

“Huh? You know me?”

“How could you not know that you are a non-Awakened person who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Awoken people…”

I was still dumbfounded.

Why did this woman appear here?

“Couldn’t you have come to teach me…”

“No. Dude, I heard there’s some stupid Awakener who wants to learn gun skills, so she’s here to make a point.”

She stroked my body.

“But it’s definitely a body that can’t see the answer other than gun skills.”

She looked at me as she stroked her chin with her prosthesis, then let out her sigh.

“Come with me. I think I need to know your skills.”

“Okay!”

I don’t know why a man called a war hero came all the way here to teach me, but this was a kind of surprise.

Even if you don’t receive teaching continuously, if you can receive it properly just once, that in itself is a great benefit.

Her I moved after her, barely hiding her excitement.
