Kidnapped Dragons

Time passed quickly and became the weekend.

Travel or training day was bright.

Summer, when she was contacted by Keeping, informed the team that she was free for a week. You're wasting a week at the end of the ranking competition in a month? However, due to so much work over the past three months, Tim Mochie took the summer's opinion lightly. Everyone was mentally marginalized. They needed time to rest.

Keeping the car towed and waiting for the summer at the promised place.

“ ……. ”

Winter was sitting in the passenger seat with his arms on.

This blue-haired child deserved this situation.

“... why, come with me? ”

“Who. Summer? ”

“... Yes. ”

“I was originally thinking of going with him. ”

“ ……? ”

That was a little more inappropriate.

Maintenance was only looking at the watch. Winter relieves the look when no one ever complains.

Still, I can't stop thinking.

“… why water play…. ”

Stop talking for a second.

It seems too childish to say this. Winter used to squeeze out his lips, and he froze and followed the horses.

“... I'm going to the water play, but... I don't want you to go to me. ”

“Watershed?”

“ ……. ”

“Ah, winter. You must have misunderstood something. ”

“ ……? ”

“I wasn't going to play with summer. He's gonna go train. ”

“… training? ”

Go to a tourist attraction?

“... What about me? ”

“You should play with me. ”

Then the lips that protrude from the tuck of winter slip in. If that's the case, it was admission.

That's when someone knocked on the passenger seat door.

It was the summer when I couldn't see the breakup foot for a bit longer.

“Hello!”

“Welcome. ”

“It's been a long time. Ah? The blue one is here too. ”

It hasn't been very nice to see you in a long time, so winter shook your hand without saying a word. And the summer took hold of the great winter, and sat in the passenger seat, and the winter was on my knees.

“ ……!? ”

Winter tried to seize the fact that he sat on his lap in the summer, then pondered for a while, and endured.

My waistband was full of scars on my hands in the summer. Moreover, I also had a share of the summer look. Basically, there was a subtle smile on his face that was full of complaints.

It made me feel a little worse, but I couldn't spit on my smiling face.

“But you've gotten heavy since you didn't see it. ”

“... Huh? ”

“Don't eat and play all the time, but take care of your weight. To be a pig again? ”

“... Nam Isa? ”

“That was fucking funny. ”

“... Get your hands off me. ”

The two of them were delirious.

In the meantime, the car runs towards the warp station. I went through the station to Southeast. In the southeast, it again followed the rift to the dimension of the ‘tranquil sea’.

When I opened my eyes again.

A mysterious landscape unfolds before them.

* * *

It was a cylindrical world.

A world where the horizon feels very close. It seemed like a transparent membrane wrapped around the horizon beyond the sea.

The sea was quite quiet, as its name suggests. I did it because there was no wind. There were clouds in the bright gray sky, but they did not move. The sea was not enough to be called the ‘sea', but there was not a single remnant.

Winter seemed like a world where time had stopped for a while.

Far from the tranquil sea.

There was one human-sized reef approximately two nautical miles from the shoreline in front of the crack. I decided to stay there.

Immediately after arriving at his destination, he used a field set to tent and set up a bonfire that would not go off with the equipment.

Summer sighed everywhere in the world.

“Wow. Here's a real geoo... ”

Throw your gaze from close to far. Everywhere I looked, I realized that there was only a manatee of water that I thought was disgusting.

“..... It's like a place like Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. ”

Winter, on the other hand, had already taken off his shoes and dipped his feet in water. Charlotte and I. The sleep seems to have stopped, causing the doorway to winter's footsteps.

“From now on, you'll be in training. ”

“Uh, ready. ”

I opened my mouth while scratching the equipment.

“The waters of this tranquil sea have only one unique characteristic. ”

“What is it?”

“The mana particles in the water attribute have a complex hook shape. ”

“Hook?”

“Yes. Then, the other attribute manas are not very good at interlocking. The fever is more likely to freak out. If you want to boil ramen with this water, you have to boil it for three hours. The water that eats the heat in the middle of the water. ”

“Oh, right. I think so... ”

Summer looked at the water with a steamy expression.

“It looks like water, but it's the same principle? ”

“That's right. Manna particles in the form of complex hooks are intricately intertwined. It also affects the material system. Increases surface tension. It may feel like swamp. ”

In fact, it would be quite unpleasant to stand in this space, but the summer nodded unhappily.

“Nice face. Are you confident?”

“You know what? I don't know. You can't say you're not confident. ”

He recalled the troubles of summer.

“Do you feel Mana's depletion? ”

“That's right.”

Last summer, I drew three months of battles into my head. We're fighting on the front lines. We're fighting again. When I fought again, I felt at some point my heart was empty.

“When I burst into force, the polymorph kept trying to unravel. It's a couple of hours by yourself, and Mana keeps running out of time. ”

It was a bitter voice.

If there are 100 dragons. Among them, the talent born by summer will be about 98. His talent is wretched by the dragon's standards.

It is from waking up from eggs a hundred years later than a superior individual of the same generation.

“Summer, be nervous and listen. ”

“Huh?”

“I'll tell you one really important fact from now on. ”

The voice of Yu Hyeong-tae became serious.

“Mana is attracted as much as I wish. ”

“Yeah, I know. ”

Mana is a force that embodies her physical will in time and space.

“If you want to hold more Mana in your chest. I think I need something. ”

“Well? Should I be willing for more time? ”

“No, you can have a short time. You need to have a stronger will. ”

“Strong will……. ”

“Time is nothing but an opportunity. A young man is given a little more opportunity to embrace his strong will. ”

To break the line.

Existence must be confronted with extreme circumstances.

“Ten years, 100 years. When you try to hold Mana with the right will, the change is minor. But if you crave it like you're gonna die for just a week. A manna big enough for you to imagine will be in your dragon heart. ”

This was advice stemming from experience.

This summer will have experiences like suffocation in real time in the water. In order to live, I need to protect my body by making the most of the Mana in my heart.

I've been in tents all night. Maintenance caused a body attack.

“I am. I'm a little worried here, honestly. ”

“Are you worried about what you're not doing? It's okay. I'm fucking motivated. ”

He cared what he said.

Worrying about maintenance meant he had to worry. This training is just as dangerous. And it hurts. It was a training exercise I knew because I tried it myself.

But summer must do this now.

Twenty years given to Jude is not a long time. It may not be very different from two years. As I said before. However, the 'right will’ does not change over time.

Just once. You just have to be desperate enough to die for just one moment, but you don't get that moment and it's like a person doesn't change until he dies.

“The ocean here is quite deep instead of narrow. It's more than a few hundred nautical miles from Earth. I put three flags of the same shape under the deep sea. 200 m each. 500 m each. And I have to go deeper than that. You can take those three from now on. ”

“Oki! Can we go right away? ”

“You can't take all three right away. Pick it up from 200 meters. ”

“I know!”

Summer was still bright. In fact, just standing here will suffocate.

But that confidence won't last long...

“Prepare your mind. ”

“I got it all in my car. ”

“Do a little more. To be mentally armed in advance. ”

“Oh, shit. What's wrong with you? You don't believe me? ”

Summer looked at his face and shook my chest.

“The last thing I say. Hang in there no matter how distressed you are. If you don't find the flag, don't come back. ”

“Oh, what a nag. Just one more time. Thirty times. ”

“Carve it. I'll be a little harsh when the training starts. I don't want you to understand. ”

There is something that cannot be compromised. The words of retention contained such a sense of weight. So the summer shouted with a slightly frozen expression.

“I'm not coming back! I'm not coming! I'm drowning, I'm dying, I'm rescuing my dead body! Are you satisfied with this?”

We have to do it now.

If you can't do it now, you can't do it forever.

Hyeong-tae nodded.

* * *

“You know what, Master? ”

Before going into the water. Summer tied his head up and opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“I've never been so hasty, have I? Next training.”

“I did.”

“Every day I pressed and held on to what I wanted to rush. There must be a reason I want to. But I really didn't think I'd teach you anything big for a year. Damn it. How long have I been waiting for today? ”

“ ……. ”

“What if it's a little hard? I've endured so hard all the time. Right? I can't stand the hard or the hard. But I can't stand my weakness. ”

Summer swoops down my churning zipper. Training Top. You can see the scarred body inside. I'm new to what I've been living for three months. The pregnancy does not erase it, it is because we are proud of it.

Summer took off the churning.

“Oh, it's in my pocket. Keep this dirty water out of reach. ”

“Got it."

“200 meters. 500 meters. And you said three more down there, right? And you want to take 200 meters at first? ”

“Yes.”

“All right. If I come with a 200m flag... ”

Put your index finger and stop on your mouth. Let's have a cigarette.

“Oki?”

“Yes.”

“Then I'll go. ”

Trolls ― Summer throws himself into the water.

Within a week, the digging becomes pale. The water vortex is silent. The air bubbles that were pushed away disappear. He looks into the water of Sacaman rather than the blue one.

One thing. There was something I didn't tell Summer.

Mana is an expression of will. The hook-shaped attribute Mana occurs only when there is a willingness to hold something by force. In other words, this whole deep, wide pool was like a trap. And all kinds of traps are set by hunters.

There's a hunter on that deep seabed.

* * *

The curiously dived summer did not come down long enough, and his eyes blinked and he stopped.

Seawater began to strangle in the summer. It entangled the whole body of summer. In so much friction that it vomits. The fire manas that make up the body of summer begin to tear out into the water.

‘You didn't say this..? ’

I just explained it was like a swamp. No, the sea was moving.

I thought it was 200m. However, if I knew this would happen, I would have woken up my heart using respiratory methods beforehand.

Summer looked up at the surface. Not even 10m down yet. I thought I should go up and wake up the Mana of the Heart with Karl-Gulaqua's breathing technique. So it was when summer went up to the surface.

Jaw!

A large, rough hand blocked the head of the summer.

What are you doing? I'll be out in a minute! ’

The Hand of Maintenance was clear. Summer grabbed my wrist and tried to get rid of it. However, the hand that blocked his head was not cleared. Still, it twitched, and with its evil power it drowned in the water of summer.

I was distracted by the shock. The summer, which fell almost a dozen metres in an instant, opened wide.

On the surface, he looked down at himself.

“ ……! ”

Summer felt something was wrong.
