72-Death?




'That's not good enough.

Patrick muttered to himself as he reflected on the recent field trip.
'The tree tops at night are good for hiding and attacking. It's a problem if you don't notice it.

In the day, I just dove into the beast's den and blocked the entrance from the inside.
If you'd been paying attention, you'd have noticed the unnaturalness.

The lack of concentration due to lack of sleep must have reduced his cognitive ability.
In order to carry out the mission of the 8th Army, you have to hide from the enemy, and in some cases, run away.

'I guess we'll just have to train for now and see how important it is.




A voice called out to Patrick as he walked through the training center.

'Hmm? They call me Major?

'That's because I'm right in front of you! They call me the Reaper behind my back! There's a rumor going around that you're about to be taken to the mortal world for training.
'What? They're still too naive to think that they're going to the world of death. Starting today, I'm going to show them the real hell.

Wayne smirked at Patrick,
'Seriously?

Wayne says, 'Really?
