Former and present (1)

2028. 10. 04. Wednesday.

After listening to different and useless lectures such as [Hero Ethics], [Business Clothing], and [Multinational Raid: Manners and Etiquette], the sun was already setting outside.

I go to the front gate of the training academy, where the school vehicles are gathered, and look around.

Excluding the students staying in the dormitory, there are only seven cars waiting because many others stay until late in the evening to train.

Of course, the number of people was too small, so every face was familiar.

They are students belonging to companies within the top 20 in the business world, such as OSSAM, GIS, ATK, etc.

Soon, naturally, the other person also notices my presence and greets them with a light eye greeting or a nod.

“Yongsu!”

Just in time, the manager’s voice intervened, eliminating any room for an answer.

Knock, thump.

“Did you have a good class today?”

“… It’s okay.”

As I closed the back door and leaned my head against the cushion, the slight fatigue came over me for a while, and I frowned at the question flying from the passenger seat.

The ethics of the heroes was not my concern, and the business attire subject, which told me to always pay attention to how I dressed, was also the same.

At the end, the manners and etiquette among multinational members were discussed… I didn’t even want to mention it.

I just replied in moderation because the parrot’s surveillance was strict.

“You worked hard. There is no shooting schedule after that… I have an appointment for a meal. The president suddenly called. The meeting place is Seodaemun-gu, so I will go there.”

“… … .”

Then, all of a sudden, the head that was against the seat was lifted by an unexpected sound.

I am satisfied with the fact that there is no shooting schedule, but I have doubts about the following remarks.

Why is the president

“I didn’t call you for something bad, so don’t worry too much about it.”

“… … .”

“It’s real. Thanks to Mr. Yong-soo, HT Construction’s stock price has risen by more than 3 percent. That’s 3 percent in the crash market.”

Well.

You seem to be concerned about yourself right now.

It’s not like it’s not, the reflection in the rearview mirror- Park Yoo-jin avoids his eyes with an unconvinced expression and then stretches out his words.

It is the first time in 4 years that a promising player with a round deal who said he needed hope due to difficult domestic and foreign situations has been active.

They said that it would never be a bad thing, and lined up speculations that were closer to hopes than cold judgments.

In response, I chose to turn my attention elsewhere by manipulating the button on the armrest of the back seat and turning on the TV screen.

Even though I am talkative in normal times and babble from time to time, in the end I was the person who provided the cause.

Because there was no point in complaining.

[…] If I exaggerate a little, I think it will go well here.]

[OSSAM? It seems like a hasty choice. As it is the number one company in the business world, the status of the affiliated raid group is not easy.]

[Of course, it’s not the 1st raid. Although it is said that Lee Yong-soo is a promising talent, the premise itself assumes that he will grow up later. By the time you graduate, I think you can easily enter the 3rd and 4th raid lineup.]

Did you turn it on for nothing?

Suddenly, only the ears of the driver and passenger seat pricked at the voice that came out of the speaker.

At first glance, I noticed that I was trying to fit a sticker with my name on it to the rest of the raid list.

No matter how comical it is, the way the two panels chatter annoyed the enemy.

[There is also a HT group-]

[It’s because it’s a pity to look at the list of the national team’s regular attack team. Actually, I’m very sorry. OSSAM has Kwon Dan-yong, who is ranked No. 1 in Korea, and Young Kim, who is No. 2. On the other hand, the HT group has only one Mr. Kwak Chul-min, and even he is ranked 5th, so he fell into the standing army.]

[No, what’s so important about the national team?]

[It’s important. When a 1st or 2nd grade monster appears and a national mobilization order is declared, the first thing to be summoned is the National Guard. Is that all? It is also used as a measure of the monster defense ability ranking by country. Because of this, it’s okay to transfer to OSSAM from the perspective of working together in advance… That’s what it means.]

In succession, even arguing about how much the transfer fee would be appropriate (it was said that between 150 billion won and 200 billion won was appropriate).

On the outside, they used to form a team for survival, but on the inside, it seemed like it was just for fun.

Of course, it wasn’t something that I couldn’t understand.

Immediately after subduing a level 5 monster. Even in the middle of the public media, the story of C-9 was not published properly, and even the news of the death of the engineering chief was not published in a single line of subtitles.

If you add the scenery beyond the car window here… There is no such thing as contradiction.

“Imported materials, differential distribution!”

“Abolish, abolish!”

“Irresponsible hasty administration!”

“Admit it, apologize!”

The moment we moved from Jongno, where the hero training academy is located, to Seodaemun-gu, the streets were full of protesters, regardless of roads and sidewalks.

Considering the slogans being shouted, there was a problem with the distribution process of marine supplies, and it seemed that they came out to protest-

puck!

There is no mercy in the hands of the riot squad.

If it was the first barrier, I would have mobilized even a water cannon.

In Seodaemun-gu, which corresponds to Region 2, it seemed like it was a waste to invest resources, and when the military and police on horseback rushed through the crowd, men with riot batons jumped in and arrested them.

Well.

Still, I think it’s better not to hit the head than the scene of the disbanding of the protests in Seongnam (where I lived as a child).

On the other hand, while looking out the window in silence, Yujin Park, who was enumerating the shortcomings of OSSAM, added an additional comment.

There was a problem with grain imports, and prices skyrocketed.

“I imported it, but when I unloaded it, it looked like the placenta was not edible. Of course, the things that went bad again were wheat and corn… … .”

“… … .”

It seemed like I couldn’t even think of it.

If it had been the same as in my previous life, I would have been accommodated in a prison for people with special abilities by now, and I would have been adjusting for a while, but I remember that it was not easy to take care of meals.

“But it will be resolved soon. The government said that it would diversify importing countries, and the United States also compensated-”

“America?”

Then, all of a sudden, I cut off the other person’s words with a single knife.

It’s because of the memories that were buried deep in the brain.

In the second half of 2028, US merchant ships, smuggling.

In the meantime, I couldn’t find it in the level 3 secret handling authorization information, but the puzzle that was scattered in my head on its own came together.

The so-called shadow swallow, Yoo Yeong-tae, has arrived in Korea.

“Yes. I heard it directly from my friend. I heard you came here from the United States? Half of them are obsolete, but I’m pretty sure they’re American ships anyway.”

“… Did anything happen?”

“Yes? Yes. Yes? take care… Did you?”

What kind of bizarre question-and-answer is this?

The important thing is to decide how to respond to the fate of the previous life.

If you look closely, it’s not like they were entangled in a terrible bad relationship, but there was a small but important problem that couldn’t be easily overlooked.

His nickname is Daedo (大盜: Big Thief).

The conglomerates never admitted it, but under the premise that the story they had heard in their previous life was correct- it was clear that they would crawl into Seongbuk-dong as well.

Therefore, the back story is also decided.

“Can I go out by any chance?”

“Yes? Are you going out? uh, when? I have a lot of schedules… … . 2 weeks is full, right? If it’s okay after that-“

“… That’s Okay.”

It should arrive in two days at the latest, two weeks.

When the plan to avoid the body for a while was blocked, a subtle irritation soared in one side of the mind.

yes.

Actually, he’s a thief and at the same time-

It’s because he’s a homicidal maniac with a tricky ability to deal with.

Seogyeongmirak, 107 Tongil-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

In the midst of the empty restaurant full of silence, the chef prepared food for one table.

The menu is Haesintang.

“Excuse me.”

As soon as a pot the size of a hamstringer appears, I glance at the contents.

All sorts of seafood such as scallops, abalone, and shrimp, plus a whole local chicken… Indeed, it was constituting an inverted shape.

I didn’t say it wrong.

It’s the first time I’ve seen food, but it was disgusting.

“Did you hate seafood?”

“Yes.”

“Help.”

The second president, Park Yoo-jin, and even Kim Da-yoon stared fiercely at the answer that I didn’t notice, but I didn’t like what I didn’t like.

The sea is a food storehouse for people in the third zone and below, so the fish head was so boring that I ate enough to make my teeth tremble.

On the other hand, from the perspective of the elderly, as if it were food of memories, they present a deal with a calm complexion.

Let’s swap abalone and chicken legs.

“I think I should order chicken gomtang next time. Anything in this house is fine.”

“… … .”

As Park Yu-jin said, is it because the stock price went up? Unlike the previous meeting, Kim Joo-hak, the chairman of HT Group, showed a docile speech and a benevolent smile.

“Shall I rip it off?”

“no. it’s okay.”

Plus, as soon as he noticed that I couldn’t move my right arm freely, he tried to tear off a chicken leg.

No matter how much I thought about it, I wasn’t a nobleman who would do favors for no reason, so rather than a specific feeling, I felt wary.

“Chairman, enjoy your meal-”

“Oh, I had a meeting with the director of the management bureau today. You said you lied about the report technology?”

“… … .”

Sure enough, the old man gets to the point before he can even open a couple of spoonfuls.

Even while waiting for food, he lined up all sorts of courtesy, and it seems that it was a ploy to make the other person feel bad.

Unfortunately or fortunately, the chicken legs smelled like the sea, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

“Crushing and identifying weaknesses, muscle tissue… What was it?”

“… Muscle tissue control, President.”

“Um, yes. Anyway, I heard that you can’t break the shield with those three skills. If you are an awakened person, you have to train for at least 3 years, but even that can’t be broken at once like a video record. Am I right?”

“… … .”

You asked me the question, but why does Park Yu-jin’s face turn pale?

To make matters worse

The direction of criticism soon turned to Da-yoon Kim, a senior adopted child.

In other words, why didn’t you take care of it in time?

“Even if the manager made a mistake, Dayoon should have told you about the subjugation process. If they can’t take care of you because you’re busy, that’s someone else, isn’t that your family?”

“… sorry.”

However, even in the midst of my displeasure, I didn’t have a hemisphere, so I was wondering if I was swearing or not.

Belatedly, a reprimanding remark is heard.

To be precise, scolding… no.

It was more like some kind of advice.

“You made a mistake this time, you bastard. If you’re going to tell a lie, you should have made it well.”

“… … ?”

“There is no one without a secret in the world, but if you want to keep it hidden, you have to mix half truth and half lies to make it work. I just can’t write ambiguous things.”

This is because real stocks go up.

With only one side of her lips raised, facing a friendly face, she feels slightly embarrassed.

I have no intention of saving your life.
