I Returned, But My Power is the Same

last week of May.

Holding my trembling chest, I set off.

But it doesn't come off easily.

It wasn't like this when I took the promotion test.

“Are you shaking a lot?”

"Yes."

“You can drop today. It’s a good day.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin smiles brightly.

right.

You can fall today.

It's such a good day to finally officially get the so-called commission.

Next to it is Seong Da-kyung.

The symptoms are worse than mine, and I am sweating profusely.

I patted her on the shoulder because she wanted to fall over like this.

Then, as if waiting, he grabs my hand.

and grab hold of it

"Hey hey hey."

“Oh, just a little… I’m so nervous…”

Lieutenant Young Sojin looked at his eyes and held his hand for a little while.

Fortunately, nothing caught on.

The place I barely walked to was a certain interior of the Capital Defense Hunter Command.

"Oh oh..."

"Wow..."

As soon as I entered, I was impressed with Seong Da-kyung.

A spacious stage that looks like it could be filmed for a musical.

Seats laid out like movie theater seats.

The command flag towering on both sides of the indifference.

dazzling lights.

As the finale, there is even a sign that reads ‘Professional Officer Appointment Ceremony in 2041’.

I can't help but admire it.

“Come this way.”

"Yep!"

Admiration for a moment.

He moved his body according to the command of the commander.

There was nothing difficult.

All you have to do is sit in a designated seat and wait.

About that time, they arrived.

“Dojin-ah!”

"son!"

were my parents

I can see my sister's face behind me.

I want to go and chat, but it's not easy because the seats are available.

He quietly waved his hand.

It was the same with Seong Da-kyung.

Mother and father came, but they stayed still.

Then he sees something and smiles brightly.

“Somehow, it became a meeting case.”

“A meeting?”

“Look at that, you’re with me.”

When I said something, my parents and Seong Da-kyung's parents were sitting side by side.

You even share your words.

What are you talking about...

And why am I so anxious...

“From now on, we will proceed with the commissioning ceremony of professional executives in 2041.”

After everyone is seated.

Finally, the inauguration ceremony was held.

He controlled his trembling hands and adjusted his clothes.

Hold each of the battle suits back a bit.

Wear a battle hat flat.

It's a picture that will last a lifetime, shouldn't it look as cool as possible?

“Those who have been called, please go up to the podium.”

After greetings and several turns, the names of the professional executives were called one by one.

Of course, the names of me and Seong Da-kyung.

When it's time to go up, I'm not nervous.

Seong Da-kyung is...

"it's okay?"

"Yes."As I was walking, I almost fell.

I quickly grabbed it and only twisted my body a little.

Fortunately, Seong Da-kyung was also fine on the podium.

“Loyalty!”

She opened her chest and raised her voice.

Her head is also straight.

“Congratulations everyone. I hope you will fight hard for the country, citizens, and families in the future.”

"Yes!"

A badge of commendation comes in on one arm.

Applause like thunder pours.

Clap clap clap-!

Clap clap clap-!

I feel weird.

It's like sitting on a cloud.

I wish my whole life would be like today.

Then you will still be happy.

No.

Can I make it like that?

“Loyalty!”

He turned around and saluted his family.

to live harder in the future.

***

Articles poured in as soon as he returned.

The names of the commissioned hunters were written on them.

It deserves it.

It's not uncommon for a soldier to rise to an executive rank.

My sister's newspaper removed only me and put it in the headlines.

Even if I wonder if my family is this good...

I'm a little shy...

Anyway, it feels good.

When are you going to experience something like this again?

“Congratulations, Dojin-ah. Have a good trip.”

"thank you. Loyalty!”

I also took a special vacation.

It was a reward for 11 weeks of officer training, and it was a reward given by the unit itself.

that you have suffered in the past.

it was me thank you

“The so-called sir is coming! Everyone applaud!”

“Wow!”

“Somin-ah, you should applaud your uncle, applaud.”

“Tamchon, congratulations!”

As soon as I got home, my family and friends gathered in one place and held a feast.

Hunter Choi Do-jin's so-called congratulatory ceremony...

It was the yangban that noona put in the headlines of my name.

huh

“Because I knew Dojin would be like this! haha!"

“I have seen this guy from a young age, he has a talent.”

This is not what everyone is saying now.

you always supported me

It'll be fine.

I'm sure you'll succeed

Then I'll have to repay you.

“Take this.”

“Hey, what are you giving me like this?”

“I just want to give. please accept this."

I got one of the department store gift certificates.

As a second lieutenant, his salary went up dramatically, but the reward of 300 million won at that time is still full.

This is not even a thing.

“Thank you, Dojin-ah. Don’t use it well.”

“Our Dojin is now giving us this as well. All grown up, all grown up.”

Seeing you happy makes me better.

I've already given it to my parents.

Create a separate account.

I just offered you that you wouldn't get one.

After all, it's me, training and fighting every day, so I don't have much money to spend.

And I want to take care of you more.

How many times have you suffered because of me?

“Oh, the lieutenant has come all the way here!”

“Choi Do-jin, have you become a complete celebrity? Are there solo articles?”

He also broke up with his friends.

Even though they seem mean, they are always the same.

So better.

“Today I shoot! Drink all you can!”

"Oh oh! Good good! let's go!"

He drank alcohol until his nose was crooked.

I have to think about stats and stamina and adjust them appropriately, but can I do that until a day like this?

You should enjoy it when you enjoy it.

“How long have you two been seeing each other? hey.”

"Yeah."

I saw Sir Seongda only after meeting her friends.

Seong Da-kyung also had an appointment with her family until then.

“Where are you going?”

“In your mind?”

“Aww, when I see you doing this, I’ll probably have to carry a real iron or something.”

“Mr. Lee, you’re doing this because you like it, so why? And do you know how much it costs us to see like this? A few months, a few months.”

Seong Da-kyung turns her head with a shriveled face.

do it

I haven't seen you in so long.

I coughed in vain and tapped Seong Da-kyung.

Seong Da-kyung takes my hand with a bashful smile as if when did it.

It was a date nothing special.

walking down the street.

Eat rice.

watching a movie.

But it was fun to meet her after a while, no matter what.

It was when she went to a cafe and had coffee.

Seong Da-kyung says abruptly.

“So, you mean that the deputy platoon commander will inform you separately?”

"Huh? What?"

“They were tutoring when I was training for an officer. She said that she would keep telling them separately even after they came to the unit.”

"Ah. uh Told you.”

“You really are an angel, you are an angel.”

At that time, it seems that she was also called an angel as a character.

“He was a great angel.”

It's a bit strange to hear it as a voiceover.

I have to say that there are some emotions, some bad emotions mixed in.

“When are you going to tell me, then?”

"I do not know yet. You have to ask.”

"cellar..."

"Why?"

"If you ask me like that, I'm sure you'll be fine..."

“Hey, how are you all right? You have a job and you need to rest.”

Seong Da-kyung shakes his head with a straw in his mouth.

"no. I'm sure you'll be fine. Ha, I can’t say anything because it seems like he’s telling me to do well.”

Why do you keep saying it's all right?

And what can't you say?

What would you have done in a different situation?

All sorts of questions arose, but I couldn't ask them.

Seong Da-kyung put his straw in his mouth and nodded and lowered his head.

He must have been tired from shooting all day long.

Well.

I'll ask later.

***

after returning from vacation.

An unexpected call flew in.

“Dojin-ah, you should go to Satan for a little while. This is a call from the commander.”

“Are you talking about the captain?”

"uh."

Is the boss me?

why?

Oh, maybe that's why

Because I said that if I was commissioned, I would seat you wherever you wanted.

“Let’s go right away.”

"Yes."

He went straight to the division.

I have already decided on what I said earlier.to stay in the army now.

1st Battalion, 1st Company, 1st Platoon, as it is.

Special forces are good and other units that are promoted well are good, but I can't ignore the memories and information before the return.

Some receive private tutoring from Second Lieutenant Young So-jin.

“Loyalty! Hello!"

“Long time no see. Sit down.”

"Yes!"

division commander's office.

As soon as I sat down, a two-star battle suit caught my eye.

Somehow I can't get used to seeing that shape.

It feels like eating rice.

“Congratulations on being commissioned as a so-called.”

"thank you."

“I expected you to be commissioned, but I didn’t expect it to be this fast.”

"Hahaha."

He scratched the back of his head and laughed softly.

I don't know how to respond in this case.

“I heard that mana extraction was successful, is that true?”

"That's right."

“Heh heh, that’s great. It’s not a skill that can be learned so easily.”

The captain drank tea and said.

“I think of you when I see you.”

“What are your thoughts?”

“I think I would have done well if I went to the Hunter Academy.”

"no. I wouldn't have been able to.”

It really is.

The reason I became stronger is because of the various hidden pieces and the strength and senses I had accumulated before returning.

If I had gone to the Hunter Academy, I wouldn't have been able to use it at all.

"is it? I think I would have done well.”

The commander chuckles.

After a long conversation like that, the main point came out.

“Do you remember what I said before? I said that if I was commissioned, I would put you in the seat you want.”

I knew it.

It was because of that.

“Yes, I remember.”

“How did you think?”

This part should be clearly stated when speaking.

Besides, the opponent is no other person, but the division commander.

Two-star division commander.

answered right away.

“Yes, I have decided.”

“Oh, okay? What do you think?”

“Now, I will remain in the 1st Battalion, 1st Company, 1st Platoon, 111th Regiment.”

"as it is?"

The division commander asks with a face that he does not understand at all.

“You are a professional officer. Even if I stood still, I would go there. Are you going to use the opportunity I gave you there?”

"Yes."

“Wow, I don’t quite understand.”

Of course, from the commander-in-chief's point of view.

Because he wanted me to join the soon-to-be-established special forces.

But there seems to be another reason.

“The commander role is essential, but the deputy platoon leader does not have that.”

“That… I know.”

“Are you going to stay the same?”

"Yes."

“If I stay there, who will give me a treasure?”

I think I said it because I didn't understand it too much, but from my point of view, it's correct.

Memories and information before regression.

That's a treasure for me.

“Actually, I wanted to put you in the soon-to-be-established special forces unit. It will be of great help in terms of power. But I was thinking that you might have your own will, so you might not want to go. But that must be the unit now. Heh heh, this is true.”

"sorry."

“I have no regrets. Like I said, you, too, must have your own will.”

The division commander thinks about something and opens his mouth again.

“Then tell me.”

"Yes."

“Do you want to work for me?”

"Yes...?"

The division commander looks at me with a kind smile.

“You probably didn’t want to grab my string.”
