I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Kim Soo-jung.

My ex-girlfriend who I really liked, but didn't even want to think about after that.

Perhaps the text will come again soon.

It was nonetheless

# Kim Su-jeong: Can I see your face once?

# Kim Soo-jung: Let's see.

# Kim Soo-jung: I miss you.

# Kim Soo-jung: Let's meet again, we.

Before the return, I was shaken here.

No, rather than being shaken, I continued to like him like Corporal Lim Kyung-jun.

So I said right away.

Of course, now, I don't want to be tied up with texts, not just one face.

I just put the block on.

‘Whoa.’

In my mind, I want to repay you as much as I have suffered.

But I really want to waste my emotions and time like that.

It's okay to just brush it off.

‘Let’s get some sleep.’

I went back to dreamland.

“You’re really jingy too, jinghye.”

“Pr. Choi Do-jin. sorry."

“No, no, there is nothing to be sorry about. I’m just curious.”

next day.

The squad leader sticks out his tongue when he says that he will go to the training room for a while before going out.

“You have to be like you to pass the promotion test.”

“I want to work hard and raise my rank again.”

“Yeah, Hunter is talking about performance rather than salary. If you train hard, you will be able to build up that performance better. go away I don't go out late and go well."

"all right."

“Oh, and Dojin-ah.”

“Private Choi Do-jin.”

“Now you don’t need my permission to go anywhere. Put it on me well.”

The squad leader points to the squad status board on the wall.

It's overwhelming

Before the return, it took me years to get moving with that.

“Even three months after moving in, Private is Private, but you shouldn’t be touched like you did when Private.”

"thank you."

“Thank you imma. It’s all like that.”

right.

Originally it was all

But because he was our squad leader, if he was a bastard like Kim Oh-cheol, he would have bet on the other side.

Where does the water bottle come from?

“Then I will go.”

"uh. Have a good time going out.”

"Yes."

The current time is 08:10.

If you count the time it takes you to change and go down, it seems like you can train for about 30 minutes.

‘It’s a bit weird to think about doing this until the day you go out, but it’s because your body is itchy.’

To be precise, I want to quickly extract skills such as intensive swordsmanship.

Using the senses before the return.

‘Let’s get the main weapon-related stuff out of the way first.’

I clenched my sword.

And he proceeded slowly.

Scratch!

The action itself is nothing special.

You just need to stretch it out in a straight line.

‘This is a skill that doesn’t look special, but it is very difficult to unlock it as a skill.’

concisely.

quickly.

and sternly.

I don't know how many swords I lifted for this one.

After about 30 minutes.

I guess I'll have to quit at this point and go downstairs to report going out.

It was such a moment to put down the sword.

[I am feeling a mysterious energy.]

mysterious aura.

An occasional notification when a skill is about to be unlocked.Hopefully this response will come already.

‘Even if the feeling before the return is still there, the response will not come after only 30 minutes of training… Is it that the things you have been doing since returning are piling up and going to explode now?’

Either way, it's an advantage for me.

This kind of response means that if you invest a little more time, you will be able to unlock it as a skill.

‘Good.’

I clenched my fists tight.

In my mind, I would like to pick up a sword or go into a simulation and catch a monster, but there are plenty of opportunities anyway.

There is also going out today.

‘Let’s go out and do it. No, it’s the dungeon raid period starting next week, so I’ll go ahead and open it properly.’

***

“Why don’t you ask?”

that afternoon.

When my parents, who had been congratulating me on my promotion the whole time, left for a while, my sister opened her mouth as if she was waiting.

"What?"

“I told you I had a better sauce yesterday. You guys told me that you don't have to tell me anymore."

“Oh, that?”

"Huh. Aren't you curious?"

“Do you think you know what it is?”

“You think you know what it is? What?"

Well.

Shall I play with my sister?

“Isn’t it like closely covering Hunter-kun like a celebrity observation program?”

“What, what? Uh, how did you know?”

“What kind of reality are you talking about, so I roughly hit you right?”

“Ah, no, but how did you get it so accurate?”

The older sister put down the fork and continued talking.

“These days, hunters just open their mind-reading skills, aren’t they?”

“Where is that?”

If there is, there is.

“You’re so right.”

“So, where are you filming?”

"I'm looking everywhere for now, but if possible, I'll go to where you are."

“You’re just picking out the dongsaeng-ppong completely.”

“At a time like this, I will pick it up and when will I pick it up again? Oh, just in case, ask questions about it, and then it will be unconditional.”

“Even if you ask such a question, it is a formality. It will all be decided at the top anyway.”

“Still, it will be unconditional for now.”

"okay."

Don't worry.

Our unit, even there, will be filming with exactly our company in the background.

It's not a coincidence, it's because I'm my older sister's younger sister.

What did you say?

Was it a harmony between a reporter in the Hunter Department of a newspaper company and the younger brother of a second-class hunter?

However, now I am not a second-class hunter, but a first-class hunter.

“But how much is your salary?”

"salary?"

“Wasn’t it possible that you jumped out of being a private?”

“It’s different every time because of the allowance.”

“Isn’t the base salary fixed?”

"right."

“How much is that?”

My sister looks at me with her eyes twinkling.

It seems quite curious.

“I don’t want to tell you because I see him so curious.”

“Have you ever been stabbed by a fork?”

"Hahaha. Gee, I was going to tell you now.”

I sighed and spread my fingers.

as much as my base salary.

“Hey, do you get that much?”

“Is a Hunter a Hunter for nothing? But didn't my sister know about it? Didn't you hear that while you were working there?"

"Well? And it's often adjusted, Hunter's salary."

“It is not.”

"Well."

"Why?"

“Should I beat this job and become a hunter too?”

"try."

“Oh, do you think I’ll do well?”

"I don't know if I'll do well, but if I'm confident that I'll catch a monster and cut the stomach, then separate the intestines and bones and receive the blood separately, it's okay."

“...”

“If the battle uniform is damaged during battle, the monsters are sometimes stabbed with axes or horns.

“...”

“Ah, there are times when situations arise, don’t you? Then, at 4 in the morning, I get fully armed and run away. Even though it didn’t show up, I couldn’t feel so refreshed when I entered the dungeon.”

“No, no, no! Never!”

“Why, give it a try.”

The older sister is disgusted and picks up the fork again.

“Looking back, I think this job is the right fit for me.”

“Did you hit me earlier?”

“That was just one voice.”

It would really be just one thing.

Even after 10 years have passed, my sister is still working in that newspaper's hunter club.

“What are you talking about so much?”

“My sister said she hit a reporter and tried to hunt.”

"Hey! What are you talking about! I was just joking.”

Soon the parents returned.

The celebrations were ripe again.

***

After returning and washing, it was time for the roll call.

A day passed like that.

The next Sunday was the same.

In the morning, I slept a little, and in the afternoon, I played a game with my seniors, and the day was quickly ending.

‘I was going to do some swordsmanship training, but I couldn’t do anything. Well, it's okay. It’s the dungeon raid period from next week, so you can do it then.’

But before that, there is one event.

Award of commendation for passing the promotion test.

Laughter erupts out of nowhere.

‘Uh-huh. How can all of this happen?’

It's still like this now, but how about at the place we saw tomorrow?

My heart is trembling already.

next day.

With excitement, I started the day as if I was sleeping properly.

As soon as the roll call was over, the company commander called me to the auditorium.

He seems to be trying to tell me something about the award.

"okay. Just stand there like this. Oh, and if you give it, you can get it like this. got it?"

"all right."

“Don’t forget to raise your voice.”

"Yes."

From one to ten, even walking motions are all woven together.

Can not help it.

In fact, such a position is both an award and an award, but how you receive the award is also important.

“Ah, the inauguration ceremony for the deputy platoon commander will be held after you award your commendation. You don't really care, but I know."

"Yes."

right.

There was also an inauguration ceremony for the deputy commander-in-chief.

I forgot for a moment just thinking about receiving my commendation.

new deputy commander.

nice.

I can't forget it, I can't forget it

‘There will be a riot later.’

It's me, I haven't seen you for a long time before returning, so I can't be that impressed...

who is that person

"again! Can't you get the line straight?"

“Go in there a little bit more.”

“You come out a little bit, nigga.”

09:45.

When it is time for the battalion commander to arrive, the company commander and platoon commander are busily moving.

The soldiers had been gathered from the very beginning.

A loud noise continues.

I was seated separately in the waiting area.

Then, a woman entered the auditorium.

"uh? who is this?"

“Wow, what? OMG···"

"Wow···"

A pale face with white skin that makes you feel pale.

It's strange that the eyes, nose and mouth are all in that small face, but they all create a beautiful harmony.

In particular, the eyes are so much that I wonder if they are studded with jewels.

At this moment, it feels like that woman shines brighter than the countless lights in the auditorium.

“Deputy platoon commander, come this way.”

"Yes!"

That woman is the new deputy platoon leader who came in today.

Her name is Young Sojin.An elite who graduated from the Hunter Academy with excellent grades.

Then she comes towards me.

“Quiet quiet!”

“...”

It was as expected.

With the appearance of the deputy platoon leader, there was a riot in the auditorium.

Even though the company commander shouted, he could still hear the whispers.

Meanwhile, the deputy platoon commander came right next to me.

and he looks at me

"Hi? Are you the kid who said that he passed the promotion test and received a commendation?”

“Private Choi Do-jin! That's right."

“Dojin? do you go in too? It’s me.”

“Is that so?”

"Huh. i'm exhausted Young So-jin.”

We had a conversation like this before returning.

I feel something strange.

“Where do you belong?”

“1st Company, 1st Platoon, 1st Squad.”

“Uh, really? It's my business there."

The actual role of our deputy platoon leaders is the senior squad leader of each squad.

Lieutenant Young So-jin was in charge of our 1st squad.

So... a lot had happened before the return.

“Let’s get along well.”

“Private Choi Do-jin.”

Lieutenant Young Sojin smiled and held out his hand.

I quickly grabbed her hand.

“Oh, the battalion commander is coming. Let's get up."

"Yes."

soft talk.

friendly fish.

But when you get to know it, it's a little different... Oh, it's not the time to think about anything else.

I quickly got up from my seat.

“To the battalion commander, salute!”

“Loyalty!”

Soon the auditorium rumbled.

The company commander who seemed so high today feels lower than me.

Because that's what class is, so it's scary.

“The battalion commander will give the award.”

After a while, my name was called.

I went up to the front of the podium with my beating heart behind me.

One gaze, one step, one touch, etc. All while keeping the angle as much as possible.

“This award is given to the second-ranked hunter who was promoted to the first-class hunter by recording excellent results in the promotion test this quarter.”

“Loyalty!”

The battalion commander shakes hands and hands a certificate of commendation in my hand.

hey

How could this happen to me?

Click-click-

Click-click-

You can hear the soldiers taking pictures from behind.

A flash that explodes accordingly.

In it, me and the battalion commander are standing together.

"Good work. I hope to show you a better side of me in the future.”

“Pr. Choi Do-jin! thank you! Loyalty!”

“Yes, yes.”

I came down from the podium, barely holding on to my shaky legs.

The inauguration ceremony of the deputy platoon commander was held shortly thereafter.

“Because .

“Loyalty!”

“Loyalty. I hope you lead the soldiers well.”

"all right!"

The awarding of commendations and the inauguration of the deputy platoon commander ended like that.

And with the words congratulations on the commendation, I had to suffer from the questioning of the seniors what it was like to see Lieutenant Young So-jin up close.

After that, it was time to eat lunch and prepare for the afternoon work.

As I was passing by the executives' offices, someone called me.

“Dojin-ah.”

“Pr. Dojin Choi!”

It was Lieutenant Young So-jin.

Stand with the door half-open, and point your finger inside.

“Would you like to come into my room for a minute?”
