I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Seong Da-kyung hugs me more.

My head is buried deep in my chest.

uh...

So this is now...

Am embarrassed.

And it's complicated.

I have no idea what to say.

At that moment when my troubles deepened, I knew.

That I don't really like Seong Da-kyung.

If you liked it, you wouldn't have to worry about it like this.

So it becomes more difficult to open your mouth.

What the hell am I supposed to say?

Thinking like that, Seong Da-kyung's voice continued again.

“I know Dojin doesn’t like me.”

"that is..."

"it's okay."

My body, still trembling with tension, escapes from my arms. her eyes are red

“I’m sorry to embarrass you…”

"no. I am not embarrassed at all.”

I denied even her hand with my paddle.

Sadly, Seong Da-kyung's eyes seemed to see it all.

“Dojin-san has it written on her face…”

"Yes?"

“I was embarrassed…”

"Ah!"

Hahaha quickly burst into laughter.

But that was to no avail.

“It’s all over…”

“Great.”

As she coughs with a shy face, Seong Da-kyung bursts out a small laugh.

I'm happy though.

Seong Da-kyung's face brightens.

“It’s been a while since I’ve liked Dojin… did you know?”

“Uh… yes. It’s recent.”

"I see. It seemed like that. It's been a while since you've treated me differently."

I thought I was acting like that.

It wasn't a sexual thing.

“Mr. Dojin.”

Seong Da-kyung looks at me again.

and say first

“You only see me three times.”

"Yes?"

“Please answer my confession after that.”

“Are you really saying that?”

"Yes. If you get an answer now, of course it's a refusal."

Seong Da-kyung's eyes were more serious than ever.

“Can you do it?”

Should be.

That would be a courtesy to Seong Da-kyung, who had the courage to come up with these words.

And I'm curious too.

It's clear that I don't like it, but I may have been closing my heart unknowingly because of the opportunity of regression and various goals.

So I want to check it out.

how do i feel

What kind of person Seong Da-kyung is to me?

I nodded.

"Yes."

"thank God."

A smile spreads across his lips as he exhales a sigh of relief.

Suddenly I feel like I'm the bad guy.

She is a woman who receives the attention of all men whenever she goes by, and that she is doing this to me, throwing away all of her pride.

Whoa.

But I can't help it.

In such a situation, it would be even worse to contain such feelings.

They also trample on Seong Da-kyung's sincerity.

However, I have one question.

Why did you confess now?

Is there any time for confession, something impatient? There was definitely that feeling.

Coincidentally, Seong Da-kyung mumbled something about it.

“But it’s a bit disappointing… That’s why I wanted to confess after making Dojin-san like me…”

After making me like you?

This story is something familiar.

Where did you hear it?

Obviously where...

Ah.

Five-color garden.

Is it the same as the story you told your friend back then?

While thinking about something else for a moment, Seong Da-kyung said.

“Dojin, you have a vacation next week. Can I change to going out on Wednesday? I want to meet you three times then.”

***

Reconciliation of vacation was not that difficult.

I have a lot of vacation left.

There is no special training.

The squad members were also able to adjust right away as no one was going out during the next week.

“I applied too!”

“So, Da-kyung, what about Wed-Thu-Geum? No, is it Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat?”

"no. It’s the same as Dojin-san.”

“Until next Monday?”

"Yes. Because you don’t know what will happen.”

Because you don't know what will happen...

I could understand immediately what he was saying.

“Aren’t you bored? Do you want to go to karaoke?”

“Oh, that’s good.”

Seong Da-kyung is the same.

treat me as usual

What happened on the autumn leaves road before seems like a dream.

But the way you look at me shows that it was never a dream.

under.

This is a real sin.

Very moderate, felony.

So I think I need to be more specific. When the time comes to give an answer to Seong Da-kyung's heart.

“I’ll figure out what to do.”

“Hey, can you? We knit together.”

“Dojin must be a game room again.”

“It’s different this time.”

“Where are you?”

Seong Da-kyung looks at me with her eyes lit up with lanterns.

Well...

Can't wait...

“It’s a play.”

“Oh, good! I've never seen that play. Have you seen Dojin often?”

"no. It's not often, but I've watched it a few times with my sister in the past and it was fun."

"iced coffee."

“Are you going?”

"Yes! But I thought you only knew Dojin-san’s game room, didn’t you?”

Hmm... I've only been talking about game rooms all this time.

While we're going on vacation and meeting three times, whatever we do, we should only do things that Da-kyung Seong likes.

However, something completely unexpected happened.

“But I really like the game room.”

"Yes?"

Seong Da-kyung smiles brightly.

“It’s something Dojin likes. Then I like it too.”

***

Two days before vacation departure, Monday.

As with last week, training for the promotion exam was held.

It can't be compared to training like ATT or guerrilla, but it was still quite demanding.

basic physical abilities.

combat ability.

coping ability.

Because there are so many things to pay attention to, etc.

Of course, I'm only the picky type, but the training was very easy.

I don't mean to spit

As I said before, the sergeant had already filmed it before he returned.

But there was one exception.

“This time, we will proceed with mana training.”

mana.

It hasn't been explored that much yet.

“Mana basically starts with the body reacting. Then you create it, rotate it, and then pull it out of your body. In the name of apparition.”

"Yes."

“You guys are probably just reacting right now, but there’s a saying that the beginning is half way, right? In that sense, the potential is very high.”

The company commander's gaze turned to the other soldiers over there for a moment.

They were people who had no talent for mana, who had been sitting still and sitting cross-legged from a while ago.

Of course, there were also sergeants and sergeants.

It's the feeling of sitting there, I know better than anyone.

'Cause I was the same

Because it didn't even respond.

“Well then, what do you guys do? Simple. Now that you have reacted mana, you just need to generate that mana. Rotation and expression are subsequent processes, so let’s focus on creating them first.”

"Yes."

“The basics are the same. It's a mana practice sitting cross-legged. It's just a matter of whether you just close your eyes like those guys there, or if you create the energy of mana like this."

That was literally it.

If the mana exercises of the soldiers over there are silently closing their eyes, the mana exercises of the soldiers on this side are puffing up a faint, hazy smoke.

me too

As I slowly opened my eyes, something fluttered.

I've seen it countless times, so it's not surprising anymore.

“It will be difficult. If it was easy, there would be no such thing as mana practice in the first place. And it's even more so because there's no specific method for this like a swordsmanship book."

"Yes."

“But the thought of making something inside my body makes me feel a little more relaxed.”

Creating something in the body.

I didn't understand it until a few days ago.

But now it's different.

[Mana is flowing!]

[Mana is flowing!]

[Mana is flowing!]

You have already passed the stage of the reaction.

If you keep going like this, it will quickly lead to creation.

I continued to immerse myself in mana practice.

“I will finish my mana training here, and now I will proceed with the physical ability training.”

about 15 o'clock.

I got up from my seat and moved to a nearby training room.

But there was a face he didn't want to see.

"what are you doing? Aren't you coming out fast?"

It was Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi.

We were obviously moving quickly, but we frowned at what we were so dissatisfied with.

Anyway, he has a sassy personality.

I want to put a fist in the mouth.

It was funny, but I was left behind.

All explanations were given to the deputy platoon leaders.

“Sit down and listen.”

"Yes."

“If we look at just how strong the physical abilities of the private and private soldiers are, we look at how much the physical abilities of the sergeants and sergeants are utilized. That is, this is it.”

The deputy platoon leaders begin to show off various physical techniques.

modest action.

And the angle of the crackling.

Even if you simply swing it in the air, its heavy power is transmitted as it is.

“There are horse guns and magic swords, so why are you using body art like this? As you all know, you never know what will happen inside the dungeon. All of a sudden, a mole monster might pop out of the ground and snatch your weapon. What if that happens? Are you going to roll your feet?”

"no. I will catch you.”

“Yes, yes. That's why you need chess. Then, from now on, let’s start practicing in pairs…”“I’ll do that later.”

Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi comes out from behind, yawning.

“It’s chess, shouldn’t you try it once?”

“Oh, yes.”

The deputy commanders step aside.

Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi stands in the middle.

And he beckons someone to go, as if waiting.

“You come here.”

it was me

“Corrupt Do-Jin Choi.”

“Let’s try a simple mock match with me.”

what's crazy

How do I play a mock match with you?

Swallowing those words only through his throat, he replied that he would know.

Because this floor is the first thing you need to peel.

under.

If I am an executive, I will always surpass you.

Let's see, you bastard.

“Of course, if I hit you, you will be in the room for at least six months. I'm going to go with a gentle touch, so don't be too burdened."

"Yes."

dog horn.

It's only a gentle touch from that guy's point of view, but from my point of view, if you get it wrong, it's a fracture.

Considering the average ability of the lieutenants.

Still, it doesn't use mana, so I think it's best to avoid it somehow.

By the way, why is that guy the only one out of so many people?

It's not just a choice.

As soon as he saw me, he just pointed me out.

as if waiting

I only cursed on the inside. I acted like other soldiers on the outside, but for what reason... Oh, it's because of Lieutenant Young So-jin.

One day, he said something absurd, 'Why do you hang out with Lieutenant Young so often?'

uh huh.

It's ridiculous and I can't even laugh.

We're in the same squad, so we hang out often.

“Start.”

"Yes."

Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi clicks his finger.

relaxed.

One corner of his mouth is curled up.

The face that you couldn't do anything.

Rather, it went well.

I wanted to shoot a fist in that man's mouth, but now I can do it legally.

Of course, you can only fly, but you can't hit it.

immediately jumped out of the seat.

He slammed his fist at Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi, who was still standing leisurely and with gaps all over his body.

Like I said before, I didn't think I could get it right.

I was satisfied with just being able to blow my fists.

However...

Whoops!

My fist hit Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi's face as it was.

“Ok!”

A painful sound emanates from the back of his bent head.

and blood splatter

...what?

It was fast.

it was too fast though

The fist flew a few times faster than I thought.

How the hell did this happen?

I couldn't do this without strengthening my body with mana... I could only see it then.

Kwakwak-!

A beam of light in his fist.

it was mana

Mana was manifested in my fist.

I haven't even gotten to the stage of creation, let alone rotation.
