I Returned, But My Power is the Same

To be honest, I wasn't expecting it, I was absolutely sure.

What do you mean by passing the promotion exam?

But when I see it with my own two eyes, I am a little confused.

“...!”

The hand holding the certificate of acceptance trembles.

My heart is pounding too.

I...

I really...

Would you like to become an officer...

I checked the seal of the Hunter Headquarters several times.

And I checked the phrase “Sergeant Do-Jin Choi to the rank of second lieutenant” written below it several times.

Of course not yet.

It was only the so-called rank insignia, and it was not officially named.

because.

This is because professional officer training must be received separately.

But don't worry.

The training is simply completed.

The appointment will not be revoked unless it is not possible to do so.

“You’re no longer Sergeant Choi Do-jin, but so-called Choi Do-jin?”

Lieutenant Young So-jin smiles and looks at me.

I just laughed out loud.

“Then can we talk comfortably now? It’s the same so-called.”

"Yes? Oh no!”

“Why, what how? Even among the soldiers, when the ranks are the same, they immediately talk about it.”

Yes it is

On this floor, rank takes precedence over career.

But the opponent is Lieutenant Young Sojin.

How can I have a conversation with the person who has been appointed as the deputy platoon commander over and over again?

Sadly, Lieutenant Young So-jin did not understand my feelings at all.

“Sojin-ah, Sojin-ah, do it.”

“Well, that’s a bit…”

“How about Sojin-ah?”

"Yes..."

“So, Sojin?”

“...”

What should I answer?

Should I say that Sojin is better than Sojinah?

“Fop. I'm kidding."

“Oh no, why are you joking like that...!”

“Did you think it was true?”

“Yes… I was thinking about whether I should say Sojin-ah or Sojin-san…”

“Oh, right? Would you like to do one of the two things you have been thinking about?”

“I’ll give it to you…”

“Um, sorry.”

He was like that last time at the athletic meet, and his playfulness is increasing day by day.

under.

Be careful.

“But Do Jin-ah.”

“Sergeant Dojin Choi.”

“Where do you plan to apply after being officially commissioned?”

formally commissioned.

It means after completing the training for professional officer training.

Normally, I would go to a unit designated by a senior unit, but my situation is different.

I had an appointment from the division commander the other day.

If you entrust me, I will let you go to any unit you want.

Second Lieutenant Young So-jin knows that and asks.

“Unless there is anything special, I plan to stay here.”

"Here?"

"Yes."

“It’s surprising. There are many units that are easy to promote.”

A lot.

very many

However, future memories and information cannot be used in other units.

So I want to stay here.

I couldn't tell the truth, so I roamed around.

“It's just nice to be here.”

"okay?"

"Yes. The deputy commander is also very nice.”

“No, what did I do?”

Lieutenant Young So-jin waved her hand.But the eyes and mouth are smiling.

“Anyway, I’m happy.”

and look at me

“Do-jin can still see you.”

***

It has not been officially announced, so we decided to keep it quiet for now. About the promotion test pass certificate.

But everyone already knew what had happened.

“Loyalty! Is the new lieutenant here?”

“Hey, everyone, get out of here! The lieutenant is coming!”

“Choi Do-jin! Congratulations!"

As soon as I enter the dormitory, the squad members surround me.

My head hurts from saluting.

Rumors spread as quickly as the rumors spread, and the next squad, or even the entire platoon, came to the situation.

Aww, I'm crazy

I feel good though.

I am the so-called

Starting off as a private person and earning the rank of second lieutenant.

I really didn't know it was going to be like this.

Yes.

Even myself, I still can't believe this.

So what about the other soldiers?

“...”

one of the dogs.

Oh-cheol Kim stood there with a confused face.

I don't know how to read his mind, but somehow I think I know how that bastard feels right now.

👌👌👌👌👌👌

He lost the rank of second lieutenant because the corporal and sergeant he had been longing for every day were not enough.

However, he doesn't want to come face to face with sarcasm.

That bastard just doesn't want to deal with it.

“Congratulations, Sergeant Dojin Choi!”

“Dojin-ah, congratulations~~~”

Yoo Chung-ah and Seong Da-kyung are also clapping.

Yeah, it's because of these two girls. The reason why you want to be officially commissioned and remain here.

Of course, so is Lieutenant Young So-jin.

Other units may have a better environment, but there will never be an angel like Ensign Young So-jin.

So, if possible, I want to go together for the rest of my life.

The commotion continued for a long time.

Until the next day.

again until the next day.

Then, it was the day of the announcement of the original successful applicants.

"Wow! Only two of us came out of our squad!”

"Amazing, Great. Even if two people came out of the whole unit, it would be a miracle, but two in one squad.”

“You keep training in pairs, and you pass the exam together.”

“One is a lieutenant, one is a sergeant… Is this completely newsworthy?”

“Hey, look at this. The article has already been published!”

“Where, where?”

“Congratulations to both of you!”

She passed, contrary to what she was worried about.

The story of Seong Da-kyung.

“Look, what did I say? Because you passed.”

“Ahhhh. Babe."

After receiving congratulations for a while, we met separately for a while, and wept and hugged him in my arms.

It's the first time I've seen him do this.

Well, I was like this too.

I liked it because I was running around.

“Calm down, calm down.”

“I can’t calm down. so very good.”

She cried until her chin was wet and then suddenly smiled broadly.

I can't keep up with the rapidly changing emotional lines.

Is this the way it is said that when you laugh and cry, you get a horn in your ass?

Anyway, it's a bit surprising

Seong Da-kyung has always had a strong image in my memory.

Her skills are great too.

So, even in the part where she passed the promotion exam, she thought she wouldn't feel that much excitement.

But no.

She can't feel it, she's crying like this.

Come to think of it, she was like that before taking the promotion exam.

Worrying about what if she falls.

He gently stroked Seong Da-kyung's hair.

Seong Da-kyung hugs her more tightly.

“Let’s go. Sergeant Lee Dae-yong is screaming for another shot, a riot.”

“Huh… I want to be with you two…”

“If you keep doing this, it might come.”

“Hmm… I see…”

returned to the dormitory.

Of course, it could be misunderstood, so Seong Da-kyung moved separately.

“Honey, where are you coming from now? I was waiting for you.”

As soon as they return, animals starving for food appear.

Damn it.

I'm going to blow up big again.

I'm happy though.

“Dakyung Seong! You too!”

I have someone to shoot with today.

***

“Lieutenant, Lieutenant! We have a second lieutenant hunter from our family!”

After paying the squad members almost a million won worth of congratulations.

I went on vacation for a while.

But I had to suffer from my older sister who talked in the neighborhood.

“Be quiet, be quiet.”

“How are you quiet? I'm not even a sergeant, I took a second lieutenant! Hehehe!"

I also agree with that.

But, there is no need to go around and talk about the house upstairs, downstairs, and next door.

I've already blown up the article with my own hands.

well anyway...

Thank you.

make me happy like this

love it

only my sister

“Our son is long!”

“Is there anything Dojin wants to eat?”

Of course, my parents also congratulated me.

You already did it over the phone, but is it the same as the phone call?

"thank you. What do you want to eat... Mother's food?”

“How delicious my food is.”

"no. It tastes better than any other dish in the world.”

“Oh my gosh.”

I had a happy day throughout my vacation.

The day before his return, he visited a high-end Korean restaurant and ate out.

"Oh right."

My older sister, who had been putting this and that in her mouth for a long time, after losing weight, says:

as if he remembered something.

“By the way, did your girlfriend also pass?”

"uh."

“Awesome, really. Do couples become executives in pairs?”

And then you look into my eyes.

what?

“Dojin-ah, I mean it in that sense…”

"do not do it."

“Ah, just listen.”

"What?"

“The two of us do an interview together…”

"I will not."

cut right off

no wonder.

It felt weird.

“Never do it.”

“Oh, why, dear?”

“It makes it hard to go outside when you do that.”

it's an experience

I felt it while putting my face on various media with work in the Five Colors Garden and Fury's Gate Gun.

Besides, dating Seong Da-kyung is an open secret.

There is a risk of getting ripped off.

My sister mumbles in a melancholy voice.

“Your one and only sibling turns down your sister’s request with a single blow… Sad, sad…”

While acting as if shedding tears.

Ugh.

I lost.

"okay okay. I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”

"Huh?! really?!"

“Instead, don’t make a video.”

“Okioki!”

“And except for Dakyung.”

“It’s a bit disappointing…”“Then don’t do it.”

"okay okay! Let's go!”

“But I have to discuss it with the unit first.”

“Are you going to do it right away?”

“How does your sister know?”

“I told you last time.”

The other day?

“Maybe when our troops came back then?”

"Huh."

“Wow, fast, fast.”

“So you are a journalist.”

It was exactly what my sister said.

When I returned, I asked if I was okay, and the call sign fell right away.

Thanks to you, I went straight to the interview.

Well, it was a fun time.

***

Now is the time to take off the sergeant's badge and put on the so-called clothes.

But before that.

As I said before, you must first receive professional officer training.

“I’m going too.”

“Thank you, Vice-Captain.”

"Huh."

Somehow, Lieutenant Young So-jin also came along. By participating as an instructor in this training.

“The deputy platoon commander is going to be an instructor?”

"uh."

“...”

“Are you okay?”

"Yeah... that's fine..."

I also go to receive Seong Da-kyung, but because I am a sergeant, the content of education is different from mine.

The training period is also different.

Anyway, that's the situation.

The reaction to Second Lieutenant Young So-jin is a bit strange.

What is really between the two?

“Let’s go.”

"Yep."

At the end of February, I left the unit for a while.

And then he went to the training room.

Like the promotion test, it was a facility for the Capital Defense Hunter Command.

When we arrived, there were already some soldiers, or even reserve lieutenants, already there.

Not to mention everyone's skills.

Being here means passing the promotion exam.

“You’re Comrade Choi Do-jin, right?”

"Five! This is Choi Do-jin’s comrade!”

Most people greet me first.

This situation is always embarrassing.

While we were greeting each other awkwardly, a few people wearing sunglasses appeared.

Instructors.

Among them was a familiar silhouette.

It was Lieutenant Young So-jin.

He looks at me and shakes his hand.

Nice to see you here

“This is a place to learn, not to test.”

After a brief introduction.

The senior instructor explains the training.

“From now on, squads will be formed among the trainees. It helps them learn the command system.”

command system.

Literally, commanding or doing soldiers.

The first position of a second lieutenant is one of the most necessary skills for most of the deputy platoon commanders.

Good good.

Let's work hard.

“There are several missions to be done. If the gate suddenly explodes, if you catch a large number of monsters in the dungeon, or if you enter a trap dungeon or gas dungeon, etc. We will see how to lead in each situation.”

difficult together.

But it'd be better to make it tricky.

This will make it easier for you to actually conduct yourself later.

“Then I will give you the first mission.”

Whatever it is, the first button is important.

I swallowed my saliva.

And he clenched his fist tightly.

I promise I will do well.

However...

“Before that, everyone disarmed.”

A completely unexpected statement followed.
