I Returned, But My Power is the Same

There are three things that can be called a troll's ability.

Power based on enormous muscles.

Recovery that stops bleeding.

Play that regenerates even a severed arm.

There are many other things, but these are the only ones that can literally be called abilities.

[Absorbing the troll's powers... (25%)]

saliva goes over

What abilities will you get?

[A troll's ability is being absorbed... (50%)]

whatever you get is good

Strength will be good for pumping up stats, recovery will be good for avoiding the trouble of sucking potions, and regeneration will be good for recovering quickly from serious injuries.

[A troll's ability is being absorbed... (75%)]

If I had to pick the best out of all of them, it was definitely playback.

It hurts my mouth to speak for a long time.

it's just deceptive

Strength and recovery are covered by stats, skills, equipment, etc., but regeneration doesn't do that at all.

No, it is impossible to write at all.

What in the world can regenerate a severed arm?

[The ability is being absorbed… (100%)]

[All abilities have been absorbed.]

[Check the ability in the attribute window.]

in the properties window?

Does it work as a kind of characteristic?

If it had been for strength or recovery, I don't think it would have happened.

Then maybe... … .

With a little bit of anticipation, I opened the properties window.

“Good job, Choi Dojin!”

"thank you."

It got louder as Major Jung Man-young came around, but there was no time to worry about it.

I wanted to quickly check the troll's abilities.

And finally the result.

For a moment, I almost shouted hurray.

[Regeneration: When a body part is cut or damaged, it is regenerated to its original state. However, it takes a considerable amount of time to regenerate.]

It was play.

What I was most looking forward to came out.

The effect was the same as I saw while catching the troll.

It was good.

This is it.

However, there is one drawback.

That it takes a considerable amount of time to regenerate.

I wouldn't use the word 'significant' to the extent that it takes several tens of minutes or hours, so it seems to take quite a while.

Hmm.

The troll was over in 5 seconds.

Well, nothing to regret.

Anyway, is it playable?

Im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool.

Because when you fight, you can fight more aggressively.

for a moment.

But am I the only one who got this?

Even though Ko Sung-hoon and Song Hyeong-gi were the same, Lieutenant Young So-jin fought together the whole time.

[This ability is only absorbed by the person who contributed the most to the troll's defeat.]

Ah.

i only got it

I'm sorry, but it's unavoidable.

If that's how the system is set up.

“Have you seen it before? Did you cut off the troll's arm?"

“You see, I cut it twice.”

“I thought I couldn’t do it because it was playing so soon, but wow, it just stabbed me in the heart and ended it.”

“You killed Lieutenant Young and his breathing. Did you put them together separately?”

“The two of you are strong, you are strong.”

The surroundings were still noisy.Major Man-Young Jung also smiled and added a word.

“I hope you catch the troll. No matter how you look at it, it’s amazing.”

I just said thank you.

I have a slight desire to tease you, but if I were alone, I would never have caught it.

Even Lieutenant Young So-jin, who is right next to me right now, is the same.

“But Lieutenant Song didn’t have much? Oh, but what if he said he was really going to show his strength this time?”

Song Hyung-ki was definitely helpful.

Although he recovered all of it, he lost the troll's power anyway.

But he was making the team laugh.

"So. Rather, it was just a hindrance.”

“Look at me. You can’t even do a mare.”

“It’s fine. Keep doing that.”

This is why it is important for people to behave regularly.

And I brushed my mouth too much.

Or just finish it all up and shave it off.

I didn't even mention Song Hyeong-gi.

He was also busy talking with Lieutenant Young So-jin.

“Operation Master, you worked hard.”

“No, Dojin, you suffered.”

“Hey, the operation officer did a good job marking him, so he only stretched his sword a few times.”

“I was the only one who swung my sword from the side because Dojin blocked all of your attacks.”

"haha."

“Feel free.”

We looked at each other and laughed for a while.

Couldn't be more happy than this.

At the same time, a staff meeting was being held at the Capital Defense Hunter Command.

While several agendas were circulating, a story about this special work came up.

“Operation Staff, why didn’t you tell us about the final boss? If I had informed you, I would have been prepared enough to go in.”

“It was to show coping ability.”

“Are you coping?”

“As you know, this special project is not aimed at eliminating dungeons.”

The operating staff continued speaking in a calm tone.

“The purpose is to select talents who will protect our Capital Defense Hunter Command in the future. That's why. If it's a real talent, you'll be able to catch it even if you don't know it."

“The sea I sympathize with.”

The person sitting at the top received the words of the operation chief.

He was Commander Gyungpil Yoo.

“Besides, a special forces unit will soon be established around the new barracks of the 1st Battalion of the 111th Regiment. Not even ready for it.”

“However… … .”

“Why?”

“I heard that the final boss is a troll. No matter how talented they are, I don’t think it would be too much for a lieutenant.”

“Don’t worry. Major Jung accompanied him. Of course, there will be no need for Major Jung to go out, though.”

"Yes?"

Yes? The word came out of only one person's mouth, but inside, most of them must have had the same reaction.

Major Man-Young Jung is not going to fight against the trolls?

Even before trolling, you have to fight a lot of black monsters, poison traps, and even the middle boss Picart.

Commander Gyungpil Yoo gave a brief answer.

“There is someone you can trust.”

With the exception of Major Jung Man-young, all of them are made up of lieutenants, and they are trustworthy.

Questions appeared again on everyone's faces.

one of the staff asked.

“Are you talking about Lieutenant Choi Do-jin?”

“Yeah, that’s my friend. And didn't I tell you once before? I think he would do a good job with this.”

At this moment, there will be only one word on the staff's lips.

Even so, there were a lot of tribute elites, but I wondered if it was right to hit Lieutenant Dojin Choi the best.

But that word was immediately broken by a report that came in in real time.

“It is said that the troll was killed without the help of Major Man-Young Jung.”

“What did everyone say to me?”

Commander Yu Kyung-pil's gaze glanced at the staff once, then returned to the reporter again.

“Who was caught?”

“We all fought together, but most of them left due to injuries, and it is said that four people including Ko Seong-hoon, Song Hyeong-ki, Young So-jin, and Choi Do-jin caught them.”

Commander Yu Kyung-pil nodded his head as if he knew it.

The reporter's words continued.

“Lieutenant Ko Seong-hoon and Lieutenant Song Hyeong-gi also left immediately, so Lieutenant Yeong So-jin and Lieutenant Choi Do-jin actually caught them, and among them, Lieutenant Choi Do-jin was particularly active.”

“As expected. So, how did you do it?”

"It is said that he cut off the troll's arm twice, and Lieutenant Young Sojin pierced his heart through the cracks in his chains."

“Oh.”

Commander Gyung-pil Yoo, who is constantly admiring.

When the staff realized that their thinking was completely wrong, they had to admit that he had an excellent eye for people.

He used to compliment Choi Do-jin with a dry mouth even before this happened.

Laughter rang out for a while.

Then the creator of the laughter mumbled these words:

“That friend, I have to make it mine at all costs.”

* * *

Eliminating dungeons is a kind of duty for hunters.

So, unless there is a special case, there is no such thing as a bounty.

It was the same with this special.

I didn't receive anything else.

instead.

I got something else, no, something more precious.

“It has been reflected in the performance.”

“Oh, is it?”

"Huh. Do-jin, you will be promoted to captain as well.”

performance right away.

To some extent, official notices came down from the headquarters to our unit.

Appreciating the part for the special work.

“Hey, not the captain. It’s still a long way off.”

“Why, if we only do a few more specials like this one, there’s a good chance that it will happen.”

Just a few more things like this special project.

Well, then I guess it's really possible.

However, the special works are very infrequent.

Even if it progresses, if it is not called out, it means nothing.

For now, let's be satisfied with this moment.

“Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief. Oh, come to think of it, isn't it the special promotion of the operations officer? You must have had a longer career as a lieutenant than me, and you must have achieved more achievements in the past.”

“No, what am I?”

You say, but it's coming soon.

Thinking about this special case, I'll be back sooner.

“Yeah, I have one too.”

“What else?”

Another document unfolds on the table.

This time, the seal of Commander Gyung-pil Yoo is stamped.

It's only one seal, but something's bothering me.

However, the actual content was made to be that way.

“The above two have a lot of work for this special project, so… Instructs the commander's special leave to the entire company... Heh, is this true?”

"Huh. It's a special vacation for all of our company."

“Wow, this is my first time seeing this.”

"Is not it? The battalion commander earlier asked if there was such a system.”

Somehow, when we met in the hallway earlier, he said he would be cheered by the company members and tapped my shoulder.

That's how it was.

“The duration is 8 nights and 9 days.”

8 nights 9 days.

Because it is a three-star award, the period is also exceptional.

“But what about the troops during that time?”

Second to the unit, what is the jurisdiction?

major training?

There were various worries ahead of me, but after listening to Lieutenant Young So-jin’s words, I think I was worried about nothing.

“It’s the commander’s reward. You'll figure it out on your own."

Yes, it's the commander's reward.

And since it's the jurisdiction in the first place, it doesn't matter if you see other units as well.

If the battalion commander takes care of the company training, there won't be any problems.

“I’m leaving next Thursday. Plan your vacation well.”

"Yes."

What should I do?

Should I get some sleep?

No.You can't have a golden vacation like that.

then… Heh, it's good to just imagine what you're doing.

“Operation officer, do you have any plans?”

“Um, I should think about it now.”

“Operation officer, make a good plan too. After this is over, I’ll just run again for a while without a break.”

"Huh."

“Then let’s get up first.”

“Is that so?”

Lieutenant Young So-jin also stands up as he salutes.

He quickly waved his hand.

"Fine. Please sit down.”

“Oh, ok.”

He saluted Lieutenant Young So-jin again, saying hello while sitting, and left the operation department.

And I met Seong Da-kyung, who was on duty yesterday and today.

"really really? So the entire company is on vacation?”

"uh."

“How long?”

“Eight nights and nine days.”

“8 nights 9 days?!”

Seong Da-kyung's eyes widen.

Earlier, I must have looked like this when I heard from Lieutenant Young So-jin.

“Then let’s go on a date for nine days!”

“Nine days?”

"Huh! We haven't been able to play."

Fortress it was

Especially because of the special.

But I think it would be a bit unreasonable to keep watching for 9 days... Two dazzling eyes stare intently at me.

Without realizing it, I shook my head.

“Uh, good.”

“Hehe, I see. I have to make a plan from today. Oh, but baby.”

The dazzling eyes become sharp in an instant.

“Did you get along so well with the operations officer?”

"synthesis?"

“You said that you caught a troll in the special project this time, and you caught it because it worked well with the operation officer?”

“Ah, uh. So I was able to catch it.”

“Hey, that’s right.”

Seong Da-kyung's lips protrude.

"I'm afraid I'll turn into an officer at this point."

“As an officer? Why?"

“Severe things keep getting in the way of where I should be.”

“He’s here again. I really have nothing to do with the operation officer.”

“But I just hate it. After all, the operation officer is also a woman.”

“Oh, I have only Seong Da-kyung as a woman.”

When I said something exaggerated on purpose, Da-kyung Seong burst into laughter.

“You must be tired of standing on the watch, so please stop. I'll go see the platoon members."

"Huh! See you later in the evening.”

"uh."

Waving her hand, he parted with Sung Da-kyung.

by the way.

What's wrong with this, isn't it?

Is it just like cute jealousy?

shrugged her shoulders.

yes, what would it be

“Wow! Is that true?"

“Even so.”

“Thank you, platoon commander!”

“Hey, ladies! No matter how good it is, it's not a hug!"

The platoon members were also informed about the special vacation.

As soon as she announced it, everyone hugged her and regretted it for a moment, but she was so proud to see her running around and liking her.

That day passed like that.

I spent the next day, the day after, and the day after, thinking about the upcoming vacation.

Then it was one day.

Just three days before the start of the vacation, unexpected news flew in.
