I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Along with my promotion to lieutenant, there was a major change of position in our unit.

First, a sergeant-level soldier took over the position of squad leader again.

Of course, the combat ability or command ability would be better for a sergeant, but it was because of the reason that the efficiency of the soldiers would then decrease.

The deputy platoon commander took over the duties of a second lieutenant.

Naturally, the position of my first deputy platoon leader was transferred to Seong Da-kyung.

Lieutenant Young So-jin, who was serving as the 1st platoon commander, was changed to an operations officer.

It may be a sudden change in personnel, but it meant that he was able to handle his work well.

It also means that he is a trustworthy person.

Operation is the most important part of unit operation.

And I.

Lieutenant Young So-jin succeeded the 1st Platoon Baton.

It was a little burdensome to suddenly lead more than thirty or forty after conducting at most ten people, but that is why I am preparing harder.

Lieutenant Young So-jin also visits and learns from time to time.

‘I am now twenty-two years old.’

The new year has dawned.

There's not much excitement other than that I'm one year older. I've been very busy with my job as a fortress platoon commander.

No, it's the same age.

I lived until I was 30 before returning, so I think it will continue like this for the next few years.

but.

it's just weird

Before returning, I was a soldier when I was 22.

It was also going back and forth between Private and Private.

I am now a platoon commander.

I still can't believe my situation sometimes.

“Nice to meet you, guys.”

"Hello!!! Loyalty!!!”

The day I take my first steps as a platoon commander after completing all handovers.

I said goodbye to the platoon members.

Yes, these are the guys I see all the time.

One more part especially beyond that.

However, when I look at the position of platoon leader, something is new.

“I am in the role of guiding you, and you are in the role of performing missions according to my command, but apart from that, I want to have a relationship that gives each other strength. Let’s do well in the future.”

"Yes!!!"

Coming to this place, I think I can understand why the executives told me to raise my voice so loudly.

It's nice to see you looking strong.

“Loyalty!!!”

It's just, it's so, so, I'm a little puzzled.

I don't think it was like this when Captain Kwak Sang-gi was talking earlier.

“The deputy commander… No, platoon commander!”

“Uh, Chung-ah.”

“All the members of the platoon are happy. A good person came as the platoon commander.”

The reason could be heard from the whey.

“Um, aren’t you just saying that?”

"no. Always speak for the soldiers, help them when they work, and lead them safely in training or operational situations. What a good person you are.”

“Oh, right?”

But hearing it face-to-face is a bit strange.

I smile shyly, and Yoo Chung-ah looks up at me and smiles bashfully.

“Of course I think so.”

I always thought

Even if we can't be the best, let's be the best.

I'm glad it seems to have happened.

"thanks."

“That’s what I want to say. Thank you for coming as platoon commander.”

wow

Suddenly, my heart is beating fast.

I thought this is the feeling you get when you like someone.

The tip of the nose is also cold.I said while coughing in vain.

“Okay, let’s do better in the future.”

"Yep!"

Let's try our best.

And let's do better.

She nodded and headed to the office.

Then in the hallway, I ran into a certain so-called.

"under… Loyalty.”

it was a royal

It was a motive, but now it is a relationship between a superior and a subordinate.

iffy.

So it's better to just stick with the relationship.

“When you two are together, take it easy, Holy Grail.”

“How could that be? You are a higher rank than me.”

"it's okay. Motivation.”

"under… … .”

Wang Seong-bae sighed continuously.

with a furrowed brow.

Hmm, that's the expression Kim Oh-cheol makes when he sees me.

Well, I understand.

Kim Oh-cheol and Wang Seong-bae, obviously, I was on the same line as you, but it must be complicated in many ways because I'm the only one running.

But nonetheless.

“Did you use any alcohol? I really don’t understand.”

I wonder if I even need to say something like drinking.

I used to talk back and forth, but now I'm very blunt.

“You should try drinking too, then.”

"what?"

“I’ll tell you to use some magic and put a lieutenant on it.”

He said in a blunt tone and tapped Wang Seong-bae's shoulder.

A sullen face stares at me silently.

* * *

“Power attack!”

The platoon commander had the same role as the deputy platoon commander.

Manage platoon members.

It is dispatched when the gate breaks out.

attacking.

hold on

kill

attending the meeting.

That was it.

However, the number of troops to be dealt with is different.

And the way they deal with it is different.

At first, it hurt my head to catch relatively simple monsters such as orcs.

Because reports come from all over the place.

But gradually, as time passed, it got better.

"Squad 1 climbs up the hill to annihilate the enemy, Squad 2 blocks the rear, and Squad 3 allows you to defeat the escaping enemy!"

"Yes!"

The cold season training that took place after a while was the starting point.

He learned a lot of senses while smashing dungeons here and there all night long.

What tactics should be used in what situations.

How should the soldiers lead?

etc.

“Wow, it tastes like death.”

“Captain... Give me some sleep... … .”

“The Yeti, those Dog Babies… … .”

“It’s going to be hard for everyone, but let’s do our best. If you overcome this, you will evolve one step further.”

He also learned how to control soldiers outside of combat.

It was the same with myself.

There was no body left to do other things, but in the end I overcame it.

“Also, Dojin. You are doing well.”

"thank you."

Of course, Lieutenant Young So-jin's help was also great.

He continued to inform the platoon commander about the necessary parts and his own know-how even during the cold season training.

He's been like that since last year's officer training, so he's been helping me for almost a year.

“Dojin-ah, you must be a genius. How are you doing this?”

"no. what such.”

“Why did you show me something?”

“Ah, no, I just showed you. And that’s what the operations officer told you.”

“If you learn everything you said, would the other lieutenants already have Dojin as a lieutenant like you?”

It's hard to tell.

But one day, Lieutenant Young So-jin did that. Don't tell me you're going to repay me with grace or something.

ahhh

Considering what he received, he can't help but pay it back.

Should I just buy something and put it in the office secretly and run away?

“You’ve worked hard, platoon commander.”

“You guys worked hard too. Let's go back and rest."

"Yep!"

Anyway.

Winter training has given me a lot.

The position of the platoon commander is now more comfortable as if it was my original position.

He became comfortable with what he had to do on the spot.

All aside, it's like looking at just one skill.

[Command (D): The combat ability of those who respond to command increases. Morale increases.]

The rank of the command skill went up one more step from E to D.

Then the effect was added.

increase fraud.

If the fighting ability is only high, the morale is low, and the efficiency cannot be achieved.

It will fill that part.

‘Especially when you meet black monsters or boss monsters. When that happens, the morale goes down. Those worries are lessened.’

Satisfied, he closed the skill window.

It's just command skills.

There was also a significant change in stats.

As a platoon leader, there were more instances of commanding soldiers, but that's because more powerful monsters were captured.

[Strength: Lv.52]

[Health: Lv.50]

[Agility: Lv.48]

[Animation: Lv.27]

[Mana: Lv.26]

Basic stats were raised by 2 levels, vitality stats and mana stats increased by 3 levels.

Considering that it is gradually entering a high level, it is growing very rapidly.

It was good.

let's just go like this

There was no case where a new skill was created or the rank was raised like a command skill.

But how many things have you gained so far?

A few more upgrades.

This is satisfactory enough.

There is only one thing that takes.

suffocation.

There is hardly any use of that deceptive skill that reached a whopping S-class.

However, if you deliberately search for poison monsters, you get caught.

hmmm.

For the time being, should I just serve it like a Shinjukdanji?

Then it was one day.

“1st platoon commander.”

“Yes, battalion commander.”

I heard unexpected news from the battalion commander who had only one more thing left to do, after the promotion was confirmed.“This time, a special operation is being conducted under the leadership of the command, and the 1st platoon commander was summoned there.”

special.

special operation.

In that special operation led by the command and not elsewhere, I was involved.

* * *

What is the difference between special operations and general operations?

number of troops?

Dungeon size?

I can't say no, but there is a clearer difference.

That's the difficulty

“It is a very difficult place. Nearly fifty mid-level executives have been deployed so far, but they haven't cleared it yet. No, I couldn’t even dig that dungeon properly, let alone clear it.”

Capital Defense Hunter Command's Operations Room.

Everyone present listened to the words of the operating staff.

“This time, we have gathered talented people like you to put an end to it.”

Those sitting on the horse looked at each other.

All ranks are Lieutenant.

However, it is slightly different from a regular lieutenant.

This is because only elites called Nanda Ginda were recruited separately from each unit.

And I was one of them.

“If you look at the results of Hunter Academy right now, there will be no talented people like you.”

Hunter Academy grades.

right.

At the rank of lieutenant or captain, it is directly related to power.

That's what it means to be talented.

No, it's the same when you go to the captain's rank.

Even if you think about what Commander Gyungpil Yoo, who is now the owner of the Capital Defense Hunter Command, was like when he was a cadet.

"anyway."

The operations staff continues to speak and sheds me a little.

The only non-hunter academy among them here.

Maybe my name doesn't exist in that person's talent list.

At first, I was a little skeptical too.

me?

As the operating staff said, are there such special talents?

But it means that he recognized me that much.

So you have to work harder.

To repay you for being acknowledged.

By the way, which dungeon will you attack?

I've only heard of being called up for a special project, but I haven't heard of anything else.

Of course, there is no memory before the return.

It's because it's not our unit, it's the headquarters, and in the first place, I couldn't even be commissioned as an officer, let alone a lieutenant.

I kept my back upright and continued to listen to the operational staff.

“I will briefly explain the dungeon. It is a place where black monsters are pouring from the beginning, there are intermediate bosses on every road, and clearing is completed only when you catch the final boss.”

A black monster, an intermediate boss, and a final boss.

It's hard to even listen to.

However, I wonder if it is a place that cannot be cleared even if close to fifty people are put in.

The reason could be seen in the following sentence.

“But there is more than one situation in that dungeon.”

abnormal situation?

“It’s a poison trap. It is a very dangerous poison trap, which can lead to death with any defense skill.”

The moment that word falls.

Hearing noises were heard all over the place.

instinctively would not. The difficulty of this special work is higher than expected.

But I was different.

It was rather enjoyable.

At the end of the day, I almost screamed for hurray.

because.

[Invincible (S): Protects the body from all poisons except the poison of transcendent beings.]

Because I have the skill to dispel any poison.

I used to write it, but the day has finally come.
