I Returned, But My Power is the Same

I woke up and the world was different.

The next day, I realized that.

All day long on the portal and in each community was just my talk.

The headline on the front page of the newspaper also had three letters of my name engraved on it.

When I turned on the TV, any news was showing me yesterday.

“Hey, the national hero!”

“I would like an autograph, please, Sgt. Choi Do-jin.”

It was obvious outside, so it was only in the army.

Every passerby tormented me saying it was a national hero or autograph.

It wasn't meant as a joke.

There were even people who actually took my autograph.

I am going to give it to my family and friends.

shy

And it's kind of embarrassing.

But it still feels good.

It's said that it's fame rather than money, maybe that's why?

“Do-jin, the bounty will come in a bit heavy.”

“Sergeant Dojin Choi! thank you!"

“You have nothing to thank me for. You did it yourself.”

Money, of course, came in.

It was such a huge amount that I couldn't even get a few months as a salary.

The company commander taps on my shoulder.

“Maybe we will hear better news soon.”

“What else do you have?”

"uh. Some say that the commander has talked about you. Anyway, look forward to it.”

"all right!"

Commander.

That would be a different story.

He smiled and returned to the dormitory.

weekend after all.

The time when everyone left for leisure, saying they couldn't play properly because they were digging the Furis Dungeon during the week.

Seong Da-kyung sneaked over to our dormitory.

“Is nobody there?”

“Please refrain from saying, “There is no one, but it is my baby.”

“Oh, why why why?”

Seong Da-kyung clings to my side.

He quickly removed it and said.

“Are you going to get caught again like last time?”

“Don’t hang. Today is the weekend, so there are no executives.”

“There are squad members. What would you think if you suddenly came in now and saw the two of us doing this?”

“Um, shall we change seats then?”

"Where?"

"karaoke? never get caught there. Heh heh.”

laughter is ugly

Still better than being here.

“Can I do whatever I want now?”

“Yes, but…”

A karaoke room located in the annex of the barracks.

As if Seong Da-kyung had been waiting, she clings to me again. holding his arms tight.

“Hey, by the way, that’s a big deal.”

"Why?"

“Look at this.”

Seong Da-kyung turns on his cell phone and shows an article.

it was my talk

I've been watching since yesterday.

“Why is this?”

“Comments, not articles.”

As I scrolled down, a comment that reads, 'That oppa is so cool ♥♥' caught my eye.

Thousands of recommendations are embedded.

Ah.

I think I know what you're talking about.

“I think these girls are crazy. Sending a heart to someone who owns it.”

“It’s because we don’t know each other, these people.”

"no. I still feel bad.”

“Aren’t you trying to be too possessive of me?”

When I asked him playfully, Da-kyung Seong looked at me as if he was saying something natural.

“You have to own it. It’s mine.”“If I even made eye contact with another woman, I would be very upset.”

“It doesn’t end in a riot. I'm going to go and knock it down."

Hmm.

That's kinda scary.

“Are you the deputy commander? Whether in battle or training, to be instructed and to move, you have to make eye contact.”

“The deputy platoon leader is no exception.”

“Ugh, I should be careful about that.”

“Well then. hehe. Oh right. You said you went to the deputy commander's office?"

"Huh?"

“I heard you went to the deputy platoon commander’s office after hearing that the company commander scolded you because of him? Sergeant Lee Dae-yong?”

“Oh, uh. I went to say sorry.”

Seong Da-kyung puts her cell phone in and asks.

“What do you say? I’m sorry.”

“It doesn’t matter. And the next time something like that happens, you'll do the same again. As you can see, there is no one like our deputy platoon commander. The squad members really take good care of you.”

“Maybe it’s unique.”

“Toxic? to whom?”

"Nope."

Seong Da-kyung shakes his head briefly and grabs his microphone.

“I will sing a song. It’s a song dedicated to you.”

“Uh, uh.”

Jeonju flows out of the device.

Seong Da-kyung looks at me and frowns in one of his eyes.

Soon a sweet voice echoes in the space.

But another thought was running through my mind.

Toxic...

Maybe it's just that...

Seeing that, yes

The deputy platoon commander is special only to me... Ah.

No.

what am i thinking now

***

Monday.

As soon as the work started, I received a call from the company commander.

“Loyalty! Sgt. Choi Do-jin has been busy with the company commander's office..."

“Uh, sit down, sit down.”

The company commander greets me with a smile.

“You remember yesterday? There will be better news.”

"Ah! Yes."

“The commander asked me to make a seat with you.”

A place with the commander.

This was not expected.

Even though the media that came with the Fury's Gate Gun was buzzing, I'm sure the commander would do the same.

“And that is today.”

"Yes...?"

“I’m going to leave after lunch, so I’m getting ready.”

“Huh… I see.”

“Nothing to be nervous about. No, no.”

The company commander immediately changed his words.

“You have to be nervous. As much as possible with the spirit of a hunter, hold each one and listen only to what they say quietly. The salute is always loud. Oh, if you ask me something, I answer it calmly and well.”

"Yes."

“Then go out.”

“Is the company commander going with you?”

“I have some plans in the afternoon, so I will go with the deputy platoon commander.”

I'm going with Lieutenant Young So-jin.

"all right. Loyalty!”

"okay."

Time passed quickly.

Rumors circulated that the squad members were more fussy than me.

“Wow, are you having a 1:1 interview with the commander then?”

“Haha, this is not an interview. I think you just want to say a few things about Furis Gate.”

"still. Fuck you.”

“Aren’t you going to get a special promotion again?”

“Dude, I’m a sergeant, and I can’t get a special promotion anymore. I don't know if I can pass the promotion test."

“Can I pass the promotion test?”

“It’s just a joke, kid. No matter how much I go up to an executive, would that be a pass?”

The noisy atmosphere makes my head ache.

There was also Seong Da-kyung.

He smiles and raises his thumb.

Sgt. Lee Dae-yong looked at his watch and said.

“Hey, everyone, get out of here now. You have to go.”

“Thank you, Sgt. Lee Dae-yong.”

“Oh, have a good time. But who are you going with? Commander-in-Chief?”

“Ah, the company commander has a schedule, so he goes with the deputy platoon commander.”

“With the deputy commander? Shit... I'm envious..."

Sgt. Lee Dae-yong laughs.

“Anyway, have a good trip.”

"Yep."

The way out of the dormitory.

I feel something stinging from my side.

It was Seong Da-kyung.

'Why?'

'Nope.'

what?

Ah.

With other women, even Lieutenant Young So-jin doesn't even want to make eye contact.

Is it because of that?

I coughed in vain and left the dormitory.

And get into the car... Huh?

“Loyalty!”

“Yes, Dojin-ah. let's go."

“Are you going in your personal vehicle, Vice-Captain?”

"Yep. I guess the train didn’t come.”

It's because it's a hasty schedule.

Well, it's more convenient.

climbed into the passenger seat.

Were you on vacation after the guerrilla break?

My parents and I broke our lunch promise, so we rode this together and went to eat naengmyeon.

“At that time, I rode this and went to eat naengmyeon. I remember?"

“Oh.”

"Huh? Why?"

“I am thinking about it now.”

"really?"

"Yes."

If you look closely, a lot of things happened with Lieutenant Young So-jin.

Eat cold noodles together.

Trapped in a double dungeon and sleeping overnight in a tent.

Lieutenant Young So-jin hugged me after going to the haunted house for a squad outing.

Trying to stop the Red Goblin raid, he gets tangled and falls.

There are also drinking incidents.

I laugh without realizing it.

At the time, I was very upset.

“Are you nervous? I saw you, Commander.”

“Whoa… yes. I am sweating profusely.”

It really is.

back is wet

“Would you like to come in with me?”

“Oh, is that okay?”

“Of course not. I'm kidding."

“…I was looking forward to the moment. It would be nice if you could go in together.”

At those words, Lieutenant Young So-jin spoke up again.

“Then may I ask? Can I come in with you?”

“I’m joking too.”

The car just stopped for a while.

Lieutenant Young So-jin narrows her eyes and looks at me.

“What, you knew it was true.”

"haha."

Laughing and chatting, we finally arrived at the headquarters.

I suddenly feel chills all over my body.

Did you mean to come and eat even one Woohwang Cheongsimhwan?

While filming a promotional video, I also went to Hunter's headquarters, but at that time, I was passing by and only met him for a while.

But now we have to face it in person.

The situation is different.

“Loyalty!”

“Oh, it was a lot of hard work coming here. Follow me."

A certain lieutenant colonel came out as a guide.

If it were our unit, the person who would have been the battalion commander, literally, came out as the leader.That means the commander's position is high.

You can tell just by looking at the rank of lieutenant general.

smart-

I went into the main building and went back and forth a few more times.

A door reminiscent of a drama conglomerate president's office is knocked on.

There is a sign right next to the door that reads “Commander Lieutenant General Yu Gyung-pil”.

“Listen well and answer well.”

"Yes."

Hearing the words he had heard from the company commander once again, he went inside.

And the salute sounded right away.

Bigger than in the range.

“Loyalty!!!”

“You are Sgt. Choi Do-jin.”

"That's right!!!"

“Sit here.”

Commander Gyungpil Yoo sits at the top with a nice smile.

I quickly put my butt in front of it.

Fortunately, I didn't sweat a lot to see if holding my breath worked the whole time I came.

“Have you eaten lunch?”

"Yes!"

“That’s right.”

The beginning was a private story.

Of course, even that was difficult for me.

Probably because the opponent is the opponent.

About 15 minutes later, the main topic came out.

“Did you do a big job last week? Even if the citizens were in danger, it would not have been easy to do it alone.”

"no! I learned to do it, of course, in such a situation!”

“Heh heh, well educated.”

These positions are not easily created.

So, you have to get points unconditionally even with the sound you put in your mouth.

It will be helpful in some way later.

However, there were words that made it unnecessary. from the commander's mouth.

“Don’t go anywhere else, stay here.”

"Yes...?"

“I don’t want to hand over talented people like you to another unit, that’s the point.”

huh.

I didn't expect to hear such an end.

"Thank you for a good look!"

“It’s not a good look. You say what you see.”

“Go, thank you!”

The commander chuckles.

this situation.

It means a lot to me now.

After the division commander, it is possible that he will take another line.

But in fact, there is a way to catch the line even if this wasn't the case.

“Then see you later.”

"Yes!!! Loyalty!!!”

Commander of the Capital Defense Hunter Command, Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil.

This is because he is closely related to the upcoming ‘recruit’.

***

after returning to the unit.

Our squad members as well as other members of the squad flocked to ask questions about what we had been talking about with the commander from all directions.

It took me a year just to answer them one by one.

Then someone spoke up.

“But didn’t you decide to come as a recruit today?”

“Oh, that’s right. The deputy commander said it was today.”

“When are you coming?”

“Isn’t it pushed?”

no.

not pushed

Even in my memory before the return, it is definitely today.

That was then.

Knock-!

Suddenly, the dormitory door swings open.

And a young girl with a young face came in. Throwing a double pack on the floor of the dormitory.

“Get a recruit!”

whey.

He was a new recruit and a child who would be my successor.
