levels | kim yukwon & min dahee

I’ve done this before. The obstacles were always familiar in this particular class, General Defense. The point of the class was to learn how to survive in different situations, advancing to new levels after mastering each obstacle. These obstacles ranged from the simple, the small-time mugger in an alley, to the difficult, the powerful mutant in the rainforest. The catch was that you were assigned one partner for the duration of the class, and you were to survive, or fail, together. I think I can do it this time. It was very possible that he, Kim Yukwon, could not do it this time. While he was gifted (as some would say), he was not talented.

“We got this!” Yukwon said cheerfully as he looked to his partner, Min Dahee. The two had been paired since the beginning of the semester, combining their wits and abilities to make their way through whatever was thrown at them, barely scraping by up to this point without any toxin disasters- a disaster in which he becomes toxic at the wrong time and takes out his own teammate. While the two had synced quite well outside of the institute over the better half of a year, the same could not be said of their synergy in combat (but they were working on that). While Dahee had been skilled at defense tactics and had a good grasp of her ability, Yukwon had been the weaker link of the two, being bit clumsy at times when it counted the most.

The danger room suddenly changed to the setting that it had been the week before, simple, yet mentally (for Yukwon) and physically draining. The pair was to make it up a series of cliff-like structures in a forest setting, beginning nearly 200 feet above the ground, the wind and uneven terrain making it an immediately uncomfortable situation. While they were essentially safe in such an advanced simulator, the uniqueness of each blade of grass and the dampness of the ground leaving mud clinging to the sides of the pair’s shoes made it feel as real as ever. Yukwon had lacked such advanced climbing skills and had only made it past a couple of cliffs, depending on the strongest of tree branches, unable to grip the small rocks. That was definitely on the list of things he would have to develop- Yes, it was a real list.

“L-let’s go,” he stumbled through the simple sentence as he grabbed for the nearest branch, easily pulling himself up to challenge the first cliff. Maybe he had learned something from the last attempt.
