I Returned, But My Power is the Same

“So, is the platoon commander’s face bleeding?”

“Uh, how did you hit it?”

“What, what?! Isn't that mana in Dojin's hand?!"

The soldiers are also dazzled by the fact that the platoon commander has been hit by me, and once again when they find the mana in my fist.

Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi, who was glaring at me as if he was going to kill me while clutching his blood-stained cheeks, stops for an instant.

All the other deputy commanders around were the same.

Of course, the person who surprised me the most was me.

no...

So this is now...

my eyes are suspicious

As I shake off my fists, wondering if something is wrong, a hazy energy shakes along with it.

And it shines even more.

It was definitely Mana.

Even if Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi was made like that in the first place, the problem was already over.

It's not stained with blood, so my skin is bursting.

one whole cheek.

In the meantime, it's a bit chilly.

I would have regretted it if I had hit it elsewhere... I felt it at that moment.

self!

body was boiling.

The fist gets hotter.

A sense of alienation that cannot be described in words.

It was then that the notification sounded.

[A new stat “Mana” has been created!]

what you have been waiting for and looking forward to.

mana.

It finally came to me with the word creation.

Even then, the notification continued two more times.

[Mana starts spinning.]

[Mana manifestation is possible.]

rotation.

and manifestation.

I really skipped those steps.

I shook my head vigorously, wondering if I could see a vision for a moment.

Instead, only the letters became clearer.

no more doubt

her...

What is this...

A voice that sounded like thunder resounded as exasperation poured out of his mouth.

“What are you, you bastard?”

Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi runs rampant along the road.

“Corrupt Do-Jin Choi.”

“What are you, other than the official name, you bastard!”

What the heck, you bastard who punched you with his fist.

Didn't you do that well?

I didn't expect the mana to appear, but if she had held her posture properly, she would have been able to avoid it.

pathetic guy.

Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi is actively expressing his anger even while I am talking to myself.

This is going to take me by the neck.

But I'm too busy trying to calm the corners of my lips.

It's so funny to see him do that with half his face covered in blood.

If it had been another executive, I would of course have asked for forgiveness.

Anyway, that's what my fist got.

But as Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi, his heart melts.

“I thought you would be okay even with this kind of trickery...”

“Don’t do that, 1st platoon commander.”

Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi comes closer as if he is grabbing me by the collar, and suddenly a loud voice rings out from behind.

A man with two bamboo flowers was walking in with his back.

He was the battalion commander.

“Chu, loyalty!”

“You can’t avoid it and do it to a soldier. Hearing that, you said you wanted to do a match first?”

"sorry..."

“Think and act.”

"Yes..."

He speaks with a smile, but the pressure that comes out of it is amazing.You can tell just by looking at Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi's smirk.

The battalion commander's head turns toward me.

He quickly placed his hand on his temple.

“Loyalty!”

“Yes, yes. Dojin.”

The soldiers and other deputy platoon commanders were already standing up and saluting.

In a tense atmosphere, the battalion commander looked at me and said.

It seems that the situation has already been reported.

“Skip all the steps in one punch and release mana. It’s amazing.”

I can't be surprised to the point of fainting.

“But no matter how much you think about it, it’s odd. If I had talent for mana enough to even appear at once, I would have woken up right away even when I opened my eyes. It’s been a while since Dojin reacted to you, hasn’t it?”

"That's right."

“Heh heh, the ghosts are singing. I think I have some talent.”

it's talent

There can be no such thing.

As the battalion commander said, if there was, the reaction would have been earlier.

It's probably a combination of several factors.

Herbs I ate while on vacation.

Bone characteristics.

and many other factors.

“Dojin.”

“Corporal Dojin Choi!”

“Try it one more time.”

The battalion commander looks at me with curious eyes.

It meant to re-apply mana.

Everyone's attention was already focused.

The soldiers, the deputy platoon commanders, and Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi were also staring at me with a chewy face.

He took a short breath and clenched his fists.

I didn't even know how to do it because I didn't know. how to manifest

But don't worry.

Because there was a notification about it earlier.

Kwak!

A light force is applied to his fist, and the flame of courtesy rises.

it was mana

The battalion commander said with a broad smile.

“Something came out right.”

***

“One thing came out. very well.”

Battalion Headquarters conference room.

The battalion commander and other company executives were gathered in one place.

“Does it make sense to say that you even managed to manifest mana in that brief moment, right?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen such a case while working as a Hunter.”

“It’s my first time seeing it.”

It was about Choi Do-jin earlier.

As the battalion commander sticks out his tongue, the executives put the porridge together.

The 1st platoon commander, whose cheeks were still red after being beaten by Choi Do-jin and being hit in the face, was nodding his head with a smile.

There's a bubbling heat boiling inside him, but what can he do?

I didn't know what the battalion commander would say if I trembled again here.

The battalion commander's gaze turned to the 1st company commander.

He was Choi Do-jin's direct supervisor.

“What do you think, Commander-in-Chief? About what Dojin showed today.”

“It’s still amazing. He was a guy who gave me a fresh shock every time, but I don't think that's enough."

"right?"

"Yes. I don’t think it should be left like this.”

“I was just about to say that. Do-jin can't be left like this."

The commander's eyes lit up.

“How much has the promotion exam schedule been moved forward?”

“It has been delayed by about a month.”

“It’s been a month… but there’s still quite a bit of time left.”

"That's right."

“Now for Dojin, there’s no need to make him wait until then.”

"Yes?"

On the long table, a certain document was spread out.

“Go ahead with this now.”

manifestation of mana.

The surprise is certainly right, but it's not uncommon.

When you become a squad leader, you do it occasionally.

But none of them skipped all the steps and accomplished it “at once” like me.

both in the past and in the future.

So I'm still confused

No matter how many factors worked, it was never easy.

Or, is there another factor that I am not aware of?

Or maybe I have a talent for mana... I shook my head right away.

As I said before, there is no such thing as talent.

If it was, would you have gone through all that hard work from the part where you reacted?

At that time, he faced Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi, whose face was still red as if the treatment had not been completed.

"You are..."

“Corrupt Do-Jin Choi.”

"done. go."

"Yes. Do your best.”

He said nothing.

I was beaten with a bamboo barrel by a single soldier, even in front of all the company members and junior officers, but I couldn't even keep my mouth shut.

The battalion commander's breath is strong.

And in the first place, it was his own initiative.

You should have been properly guarded.

I went up the hallway and moved in the opposite direction of the dormitory.

It was a training room.

From there, open the status window.

And I focused on the bottom part.

[Mana: Lv.1]

mana.

The stat I wanted to see so much.

it's like a dream

Unknowingly, I was pinching my cheek.

Kwak!

As I clenched my fists, my mana flashed again as if it was natural.

concentration is very low.

as well as staying power.

However, it is meaningful that it is ‘possible to express’.

From now on, it means that you can develop anything, whether it's concentration or maintenance, just by raising the level.

her.

I love it so much it makes me laugh

It's not like this.

If the water is open, you have to work on it.

I straightened up and sat cross-legged.

Then after about 5 minutes.

I was astonished.

[Mana is being generated!]

[Mana is being generated!]

[Mana is being generated!]

[Mana is spinning!]

[Mana is spinning!]

[Mana is spinning!]

Notifications pop up one after another.

Wow, what else is this?

Spawn and rotation aren't affected by mana-sensitive skills, so how does this happen?

What else worked?

medicinal herbs?

Bone characteristics?

My head, which had been spinning in a complicated way, quickly came up with an answer.

The action I'm taking right now.

This is the movement I have been doing for 10 years before the return.

mana craft.

thanks to that

The notice that followed was proof of that.

[The proficiency in mana practice is very high.]

It's not enough to create an A-grade mana-responsive skill, so it affects generation and rotation.

I am grateful for the 10 years before the return.

That was then.

I have another thing to be thankful for.

[A new skill “Mana Adjustment (F)” has been created!]mana rate.

A skill that literally tunes mana from creation, rotation, and manifestation to increase efficiency.

it was made

Just 5 minutes after starting mana practice.

The grade is the lowest F, but how can I be satisfied with my first drink?

You can grow up slowly.

It was time to put my hands on my knees again.

Tiling!

Immediately the alarm rang again.

And I just froze.

[You have a very high level of understanding about mana practice.]

[Related skills are affected by this.]

This time it was understandable.

And that's...

[The level of the mana adjustment skill rises by 5 stages.]

[Rank before ascent: F]

[Grade after ascent: A]

[Mana Attunement (A): Mana is tuned and all abilities related to mana increase.]

He transformed an F-class skill into an A-class skill at once.

gulp.

I swallowed saliva without realizing it.

And as if possessed by something, he resumed mana practice.

The results were surprising.

[The flow of mana is very fast!]

[The flow of mana is very fast!]

[The flow of mana is very fast!]

[The flow of mana is very fast!]

[The flow of mana is very fast!]

[Mana level rises to 5!]

Mana stats reached level 5 in an instant.

Considering that it is a skill that has just been created, this is ridiculously fast.

Because less than an hour had passed.

haha.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I liked it so much that I laughed like a madman to myself.

I hated the saying that hard work never betrays the most in the world, but I think I need to change it now.

My favorite word in the world.

Besides, mana tuning is not just for raising stats.

Affects all related abilities, as described in the description.

In other words.

When expressed, it also affects the rate of reaction, retention, concentration, and strength.

I asked one right.

If you go on vacation, then you should go to that valley and take care of it if you do it right.

My body trembles with anticipation.

When I left the training room, the time for the roll call was running out.

As I quickly moved to the dormitory, the sound of the microphone stopped me.

― Ah, it is preached in the administrative office. Corporal Dojin Choi, 1st Platoon, please go to the company commander's office.

commander's office?

What's going on?

Once I turned around

“Loyalty!”

“Uh, sit down.”

He sat down in front of the lieutenant colonel.

Something significant on your face? Such a smile hangs

“I told you to leave out the roll call, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

"Yes."

The lieutenant colonel smiled lightly.

“Dojin, you did a great job today.”

"no."

“He is humble. The battalion commander praised it so much, but if that's not a big deal, what would it be?"

“Haha, thank you.”

“Yes, yes. Oh, no need to worry about the 1st platoon commander. The fact that that bastard tried to fight a soldier by calling a soldier was wrong. Since I heard what the battalion commander had to say, there will be no disadvantage for him.”

already confirmed

Earlier, when he met for a moment, he was speechless.

“Then should we talk about the main point now? I have some good news for you.”

good news?

“You are a sergeant from next week.”
