I Became a Mental Health Care Patient in the Apocalyptic Era

Episode 2-Reading

Although it is called the academy, we should not think that the academy of this era is a space where young people can develop their dreams and hopes.

Since the age of first awakening is adolescence, all cadets are teenagers who do not become adults, but what they experience at the academy is not bright and lively, but hard and solemn.

‘It’s closer to the military than the academy.’

Of course, from a military standpoint, it looked better than the military, but since the world was so gloomy, it wasn’t a place that could be viewed in a good way.

“Humanity created an academy, an institution that specializes in fostering awakened people in order to survive from monsters.”

The first thing I did after entering the academy was to instill in the academy’s students what an Awakener was and what the academy meant.

Awakeners are beings who have to sacrifice everything for humanity. The academy is an institution created by inheriting the noble spirit of mankind.

Some of the many gamers who saw the education of the cadets by emphasizing only the positive aspects did not hide their discomfort, but most gamers thought that forcing individual sacrifices would harm the probability as the worldview is the worldview. Did not

In the first place, the main character that gamers will play, Park Soo-hyun, did not strictly follow the theory of sacrifice emphasized by the academy.

I turned my head and looked at Park Soo-hyun.

Indigo hair with a sharp impression,

Eyes that seem to have gone through all the hardships of childbirth even though they are still teenagers.

Having the same appearance as he appeared in the cutscene, he had an unusual impression to anyone.

‘Originally, I should have told her what Yang Ga-hyun said to me.’

Still, since he was a remarkably powerful cadet, I was able to play the role of distracting Yang Ga-hyun from me.

“Lee Joo-eun, let’s go eat together.”

As soon as the ideological education that continued throughout the morning was over, Yang Ga-hyeon approached me and said.

Next to him was Park Soo-hyun, frowning and being dragged along.

“All right.”

“Why?”

She asked with innocent eyes that contained no malice.

Yang Ga-hyun was the so-called chosen person.

He was born into a well-to-do family from an early age and had the conviction to save humanity from monsters.

Thanks to that belief, he rarely suffered from stress management, but he was often trapped in his beliefs and unable to understand others.

“I didn’t ask for lunch.”

“Why?”

“Time for lunch is also a waste. It’s better to bring a packed lunch and put something on your head during that time.”

If I said that I couldn’t apply because I didn’t have money, it was clear that they would try to interfere with me.

It was good to keep a distance from the main characters who flow this era like Park Soo-hyun and Yang Ga-hyun.

Since they are the main character and his main colleagues, they have the power to run in front of the world, but I couldn’t follow them because I was an extra with no ability.

“I heard that I have eyes for people. Yes, train hard.”

Yang Ga-hyun dragged Park Soo-hyun and moved.

‘It still seems to be going as far as I know…’

There could be some kind of butterfly effect from Yang Ga-hyun’s interest in me, but that was an area that I could anticipate and prepare for in advance.

Since I don’t have the fraudulent ability to read the future, it’s impossible to respond perfectly, but it means that I can think of a crisis in my head at least once.

The problem was Park Soo-hyun.

‘Park Soo-hyun is a playable character.’

It is easy to predict Yang Ga-hyun.

She participates as the main heroine whenever Apocalypse Escape proceeds, and she is mostly aware of the mental pain and growth she will experience.

Likewise, it is very difficult to predict the personality and behavior patterns of other main characters, but it is possible to get a direction.

However, Park Soo-hyun is originally a character controlled by the player.

There is no official character of Park Soo-hyun in this game.

Since Park Soo-Hyun acts as the player moves, is it possible to predict how he will move?

‘Isn’t that something I should worry about?’

She just said that she would keep her distance from the main characters, and she was worrying about these useless things.

After sighing, I got up from my seat.

“Little girl over there, can you talk to me for a minute?”

As I was about to leave the class, I heard a very dignified voice.

“Haa…”

I looked at her presence as if she wanted to hear her, sighing loudly and turning her head wildly at her to call me.

“What is it?”

I deliberately spat out words full of annoyance.

As far as I know, the woman who talked to me hated rude people.

“You have quite rude words and actions.”

The woman reflected in my eyes was really beautiful.

Her long braided light purple hair style brought her neatness to a higher level, and her glasses, which had no prescription but had various functions, helped her to have a more sober image. .

“Aren’t you the one who was rude first? I don’t think a person who calls himself a kid when he sees it for the first time has the right personality. What do you think?”

She frowned at my words.

I felt like her heart was beating wildly when I thought of fighting with a person who had magical powers so strong that she could freeze my body even now, but it was something I had to say in order to keep my distance from her. .

Lee Seo-yeon, the Witch of the Cold, who is looking at me, because she would never stand by anyone who treats her disrespectfully.

“I was curious about what kind of person Yang Ga-hyun was because he was watching with interest, but if it’s someone like you, I don’t think I even need to pay attention.”

“I don’t want attention from a guy like you either.”

She gave her eyes a small sneer, then turned right back and left the class.

-Kung! Kung! Kung!

I heard the sound of my heart beating like crazy.

‘Shut up. It worked out well.’

Lee Seo-yeon is not a thoughtless woman enough to cast a spell on me.

She knew it in her head, but her body was shaking.

Is this the sorrow of the weak?

Even if she said she was stronger than me, she was about 3 vs. 500. To me, whom I had only met, fighting a human who could kill me at any time was no different from risking my life.

But she knew very well that if she didn’t do this, she would rather die, so she rejected her instincts and moved.

-Dalkak

“Who are you?”

“I’m here to read a book.”

She opened the door to the library and as she went inside, she heard her librarian’s voice.

“It sounds like you’re a freshman, but you’re already interested in books. Are you looking forward to the future?”

A woman who was organizing books looked at me and smiled.

“You can borrow up to three books per person for one week.”

“Okay.”

I looked through the library and found the books I needed.

Maybe it was because I moved early, the books I was looking for were still there.

“I’ll borrow it like this.”

“Yes, please return it by next week.”

I took the book from the woman and moved to the empty space in the academy to open the book.

[Would you like to read the book ?]

Couldn’t I just read it myself?

I borrowed the book because I was curious about how the books in this world were written, not because I wanted to see the summarized information created by the game’s permission, but when the information window popped up like this, my excitement cooled.

‘I’ll read it.’

But I have to do what I have to do.

As soon as I answered inwardly, a faint light emanated from the book.

[In AD 2023, monsters first appeared.]

I quickly moved the status window and turned all the pages.

Because I already knew everything in the book.

Since I completely memorized the well-organized information on the site outside the game, I didn’t have to read this long text again.

[You have read the book .]

[Experience increases slightly.]

[The chance of not falling into a stun situation increases when facing a monster.]

Fortunately, even in this non-game world, reading rare books seemed to help.

I put down the history of monsters and brought up the survival method of the weak.

“It’s you, I took those books.”

When I raised my head at the sudden sound, Park Soo-hyun, who had been taken by Yang Ga-hyun, was looking at me.
