The Rogue System - Chapter 56

Break time was over before he knew it and Kang left for his class on his own. By the time he was at the door, all the young kids were already out, standing in a line obediently.

“Where are they going?”

Old man Gritchen smiled at him and patted his back. “We are going to the training hall,”

Kang went on a defensive state. ‘Training room again! Oh fuck how can I handle the cold?’ he touched the suit insecurely. It was keeping his body warm but he was not sure if ‘he’ can handle the cold temperature.

Because of the dragon curse, their bodies can’t handle cold.

“it’s nothing to worry about. Come, let’s go,’ the old man led them to a nearby glass training room. This one was much smaller than the one before.

It had a swing set, a seesaw, a princess castle, a small playground set, a sand box..

Pretty much it was a playground.

Kang let out a breath of relief. ‘Thank gods I thought this will be like that fucked up cold room.’

The kids happily ran to the playground taking turns in the swing and the sets.

While he just stood there. ‘eh what am I supposed to do? I can’t play in those. I’m pretty sure I’ll get stuck in the princess castle and I will be too heavy for sea saw…’

“Kang.. come over here kid,” the old man gestured for him to come close.

Curiously he moved closer. “Yes?”

“This one is for you,” he showed him the monkey bars.

Kang blinked at this. ‘Monkey bars? What am I five? Why should I even do this? Wait I can do this and get my license. It’s a very sweet deal,’

He excitedly ran to it.

“Wait wait, you’ll need this,” the old teacher held up what looked like cuffs.

“What’s that?”

He got down on his knees and cuffed both his legs. “It’s for your training..” the old man got up with difficulty and cuffed his arms.

Kang almost tippled down for the weight. “it’s heavy!” he struggled to stand straight.

“Yea, that’s the part of your training.”

He helped Kang up the monkey bars.

With difficulty, Kang clung on. The cuffs weighed about a fucking ton. It was putting a lot of pressure on his body. plus the ones on his leg were dragging him down.

This feeling… it was like he was hanging off the side of a building with someone dragging him down by his leg.

‘Ahh I hate this..’ he mentally cursed his fate. “Why… do I have to.. do this?” he grumbled even so.

“If you had listened to the class, you would have understood. There are two types of powers. One is a supernatural power, thunder lightning, time, the heat of the sun.. all of these are supernatural powers.

“The kids in our class all belong to the second class, the physical powers. I saw your fight with the snow probe. It looks like your body modifies itself to become stronger.”

Kang gritted his teeth trying to stay up the bars. “it’s not related to this insane exercise…’

“Well the first thing you need to learn is…”‘

Kang tightly squeezed the bar in a desperate attempt to hold on. The metal broke and he fell down to the sandy ground with a thud.

“Control. You need to control your strength.” He took out a remote from his pocket and pressed a button.

The broken bars automatically dismantled and went down to the ground while another bar replaced it. “You need to hang on for two hours and not break it. This is your first training Kang. If you pass this you will be on the same level as those kids,”

Kang glanced to the side. What he did not notice was that this was not a normal playground. the sea saw had a small notice that it weighed more than fifty kgs. Yet the kids were able to easily ride on it.

Kids were carrying a small metal ball up the slide and slid down.

The slide had a notice that said that small balls were made of fifty kgs weights. Yet the kids were carrying it around and sliding on it happily.

Even the swing… it was fucking hundred kgs!

His impression of the little radish heads went to a higher level.

‘Fuck these kids are strong..’

Compared to that.. he glanced at the cuffs. It was written that it was twenty kg each. “I’m super weak,”

“I’m happy you understood that soon,” the old man chuckled. “I’ll be up there observing. Go play till your heart’s content kids,”

“Yes, teacher~” the kids happily shouted after him.

Kang was the only one left shocked. None of the kids looked tired. They were happily playing around.

‘Gosh.. The difference is immense. If these little munchkins are that strong then the older kids will be on a different level… No wonder I was put in this class.’

“Uncle, get to work,” the chubby kid shouted from the seesaw

“Yeah yeah,” Kang hopped onto the rod with difficulty and hung onto it. ‘I can do this. I can do this without breaking.. All I have to do is not clench my hands…’

Ten minutes passed and his body started slipping off. ‘fuck,’ his grip tightened a bit.

The middle of the rod snapped once again.

He toppled to the ground.

“ha-ha uncle fell again ha-ha…” the kids laughed happily.

Kang laid on the sand with a dull look on his face. “Playtime is not so fun. Maybe I should try the other games… teacher! Can I play the other games?!”

“If you’re bored you can. But the two hours on the monkey rod is mandatory,”

“Great,” he first went to the seesaw. “Let me play with you,’

The chubby kid looked him up and down. “You won’t win. You can try, though.” He smugly smirked at him.

Kang lifted the kid on the other side and gently set him on the ground. “Bring it on little radish. We’ll see who is spicier,” he sat on the small seat.

“Hmph give up. You’re going to lose anyway,”

Zhu Kang gritted his teeth and pushed off the ground, sending him high up. “what do you say, huh? I lifted it.”

The kid grinned from ear to ear. “That’s not all,” the kid also kicked off the ground and pushed him to the lower position. “How do you like that?”

Kang gritted his teeth. In the lower position, he could feel the weight of the sea saw putting a strain on his calf. ‘How is this kid even doing that?’

He struggled a bit and pushed off the ground.

Just like that, he played with a literal six-year-old.

The chubby kid also seemed to be having fun.

“What’s your name kid?”

“Chu Gan, you?”

“Kang, Zhu Kang,” he smiled at him.

“You’re still old. My mom told me not to talk to you.”

“Cuz I’m old?”

“Yeah, the older ones are dangerous she said,” he said and got off the swing. “but I like you, you’re fun. You don’t smell bad. And adults usually don’t play with us,”

“yeahh~” the other kids happily swarmed around him.

Kang giggled. “See I told you I’m awesome. Hehe…”

“yeah yeah you still can’t stay on the rods right?”

His smile melted away. “It’s tough.”

“No, it’s easy.” Chu ran to the monkey bars which were too tall for him. “get on, I’ll teach you,”‘

Kang did not underestimate him anymore. He obediently listened and got on the bars. “Now what?”

“Think of the rods as an egg. Inside imagine the most disgusting thing. If you smash it, that disgusting thing will come out. Hold it carefully.”

Kang glanced down in surprise. ‘Not sure if it’s going to work. Let me try..’

‘This rod is an egg. Inside… inside I see a lot of strawberry love gel…’ he almost gagged at that though. ‘I think I’m traumatized if love gels now…’

Just like that, with that chubby little radish’s training, he actually held onto the rod without letting go.

“Pass,” the old man said from above. “You did be great.”

Kang let go of the rods panting. “I passed! Wo hooo!! I passed!”

“Uncle don’t gloat, every one of us can do that,” Chu Gan mumbled and walked away. “I only taught you because I like you,”

“Yeah kid, I like you too. Thank you. I’ll get you candy,”

Every little kid’s ears perked up. “Candy!!! He’s giving us candy!!’

Kang regretted that a lot… ‘Shit where am I going to get candy…’
