When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield

After being contacted by the secretary’s office of the vice minister of military affairs.

Robert was able to communicate directly with the Secretary of State only after being contacted by other secretaries and aides.

Of course, it was the first time in my life.

All I did was see their faces from a distance or hear encouragement while passing by.

Direct phone calls were unthinkable.

This was because even the vice minister of military affairs was often busy with work and could not report face-to-face.

Compared to him, the Secretary of State was an even more difficult person.

A person who ranks within the top 10 in the United States statutory order, with a different degree of authority or responsibility than ordinary ministers.

That was what I was doing, so of course I didn’t have to talk to a person in charge like Robert.

While I was nervous, I heard the Secretary of State’s voice.

-Oh, Director Anderson?

“Yes, this is Robert Anderson, Director of External Relations.”

-I just got in touch. It’s hard to meet normally, but I know well that you’re trying. as well as the things you’ve done.

“No, thank you.”

– I should express my gratitude. That’s why I called today.

“Ah yes. I heard about it through the secretary’s office, but what was it in detail… … .”

As Robert answered, as if waiting for a business, he let out a rhyme, and soon a heavy answer came back.

-You know the operation in CAR (Central African Republic)?

“ah… Are you talking about an operation involving Israel?”

-is it so. I would like to give some congratulations to the agents because the operation was successful. Was everyone on vacation?

“Ah yes. It is, but… Are you talking directly?”

– The nuance is a bit negative, isn’t it?

“that is… I am also well aware of the Minister’s intentions, and I think that the agents should be praised… Since they are non-contracted agents, it is impossible to meet or record in a public place, so I think it is better to avoid them if possible.”

I couldn’t help but be concerned.

It was because the foreign cooperation bureau was the place where even contracts were kept hidden for the rest of their lives as the preservation period was extended.

A face-to-face meeting with the Secretary of State, whose identity was clearly revealed, was not recommended.

However, the answer came as if it was ready.

-I’m going to keep my schedule private, and there’s a clean safe house managed by the CIA for entertainment, so there’s no problem. And above all… … .

Whatever he said, it was time to listen.

– The President himself instructed. I would like you to pay special attention and care to the performing team.

“The President… … ?”

When even the number one person in the United States of America was mentioned, Robert flinched.

It was an unexpected word.

I was embarrassed because it was quite unusual for the Secretary of State to directly congratulate me, but on top of that, the president?

While Robert was perplexed.

The Secretary of State’s voice came over the receiver.

-Thanks to the operation in CAR, one important thing worked out, so you can think of it as congratulations.

“ah… … .”

-Then, I will deliver the schedule and procedures through the secretary, so please gather the entire team.

“Okay, Minister.”

pop.

When the phone hung up, Robert hesitated belatedly.

The direct congratulations of the minister and even the mention of the president made my head stiff for a moment, but now that I came to see it, it was so good.

Security was also fixed, so there was nothing bad about it.

‘It would be better to improve the treatment of the execution team or to receive budget support.’

Of course, you won’t be able to ask for or ask for everything you want all at once.

However, since the minister directly congratulated him and the president mentioned it, it will have some effect.

Even if you don’t receive something right away, you can ask for it later.

And most importantly, it was different.

Tae Kang.

It was finally an opportunity to state his importance directly in the face of the Secretary of State, who could be said to be second only to the President.

It will be much better than a written report that cannot be emphasized or repeated.

‘Lee’s actual value… I have to raise it superficially as well.’

That way, whether it’s support, follow-up, or whatever, you’ll be treated as you deserve.

Suddenly, a smile crept across Robert’s lips.

Half a month or so later, in mid-May.

From nob le mt l dot com

Like any other day, I was running to the gym with Harry.

The distance is about 15 km.

It was also carrying a body armor, Glock 19, and a bayonet, and running while wearing a gym bag.

Rather than jogging, at a brisk pace more like a marathon.

Of course, it wasn’t too difficult.

In addition to sharpshooter and steel mentality, he also had the special physical strength.

So I didn’t have to run.

It was because there was no decrease in stamina thanks to the characteristic.

But I had to run.

Because the more you run, the more you run.

I don’t know if it’s because my stamina has increased or if running know-how has been added, but it was clear that I could run faster and longer than before.

The records and statistics of the past six months were like that.

So, I reached the MMA gym where I registered for a while to run 15km without hesitation.

At the same time, a squeaking sound was heard.

Iron flip.

it was harry

Likewise, he who was wearing a gym bag gasped for breath before finally speaking out.

“Sir, senior… Whoops, really… How do you do this all vacation? Whoa… You’re really great, really… … .”

“You are great too. I didn’t expect to stick around for two weeks… … .”

I thought I would be back in a day if it was short, or about a week at most.

But already for two weeks, half of the vacation was spent sleeping, eating, and exercising together with me.

Both aerobic and anaerobic.

I felt it again while watching it.

The fact that he was not a Night Stalker for nothing, that he was a machine worthy of being recognized by the country, and worthy of being taken away by the CIA.

‘Yeah, you have to have that kind of persistence… … .’

Gradually, I got Harry to his feet and went into the MMA gym.

Then the greetings came as if they had been waiting.

“Lee, you came early today.”

He bumped into a fist with a bald coach who said he had trained UFC fighters, followed by amateurs who aspired to become pros.

There were still some people who were sloppy or bumpy, but it was mostly okay.

It was because he was from the military and was an active-duty mercenary.

Harry, who goes with him, is also white and a former Night Stalker.

Before long, the coach who was trying to get me the mitt immediately spoke out as if he remembered.

“Gee, today is only half the date left. Can you come to our gym on your next vacation, Lee?”

“You should come, my house is nearby.”

“I said it because there are many other gyms… It would be nice if you could come.”

I wondered if it was because of the school fees, but another word came out of the coach’s mouth.

“How about preparing for an amateur competition next vacation?”

“An amateur competition?”

“Yeah, I thought it would be okay to go to middleweight, which is an average weight, or to lose weight a little and compete at welterweight.”

“I? Been here for 2 weeks now? Are you really okay?”

I asked cautiously because it was a field I was a little interested in, and the coach nodded loudly.

“of course. I learned boxing before, so the basics were good, and I had a big physique for an Asian, and my visual acuity and reaction speed were really good, right? In addition, he has excellent strength, but the most important thing is… … .”

As I waited for the words to follow, as the coach emphasized, I added strength to my accent.

“It’s your monstrous stamina… It’s a truly indescribable ability. Even if you do 5 rounds in 3 minutes, you still breathe through your nose, right? legendary player… No, no one can do that. Only you can.”

“ah… … .”

I understood everything, so I nodded, and the coach lowered his voice and asked.

“I wanted to ask you a few days ago, how is the pro by any chance? I even came up with a ring name that suits you… … .”

“… … ?”

“Phoenix. A bird that never dies, you know? When I googled it, there was something similar in the East. I think it suits you.”

A similar missile name came to mind, but I didn’t bother to say it out of my mouth.

Harry was admiring it, because he was making the sound for me.

“Wow, also… I knew I would. You sir are omnipotent. A professional player offer? And the phoenix is really good too. Seniors don’t really die… … .”

“… … .”

Leaving Harry like that, he immediately changed the topic.

“But even if it’s an amateur tournament, it’s a bit like going to a pro.”

“why? Is it because of your skills? Don’t worry about that, you will definitely succeed. I’ll take care of it and send it to the UFC or the ONE Championship.”

I shook my head at those words.

My monstrous stamina, as the coach had mentioned, was a trait that transcended human nature.

I didn’t want to write it to the general public.

It was even a popular sport, and it involved money.

I had no desire to overthrow it by sprinkling psychic powers on it.

Conscience stabbed.

Of course, I’m not a sage or a wise man, but as a human being, I felt like I was uncomfortable.

It’s comfortable to wear on the battlefield, but that’s different from the target.

terrorists or terrorists.

On the other hand, professional fighters in MMA competitions were just ordinary people.

It was different from the enemy who deserved to die.

“Thank you for your words, but the reason I went to the gym was for work rather than professional or amateur players. Trying to survive on the field.”

“ah… yes you were a mercenary Um, sorry.”

The coach nodded as if he understood, then threw his words again.

“But if you’re going to debut, you have to do it at our gym, you know? If you come out against me and play against my players… Just imagining it is terrifying. How hard it is.”

“Heh heh, okay. You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Yeah, thank you for answering that.”

After talking like that, I started training right away.

About 30 minutes.

It was when the coach who was receiving the mitts declared a break, and I habitually checked my phone in the locker room.

“… … ?”

A number remained on the screen.

The number of the Foreign Cooperation Bureau.

It was also a direct contact for Robert, the director of the bureau, not Lily Morgan, who usually handed over various operations.

I wanted to know what was going on, so I immediately pressed the call button, and I quickly found out the reason.

“… Wait, today?”

-Yes, a car will go to your house in the next three hours. Just get on it and follow the instructions.

“ordnance… No, what is the operation? What do I need to prepare?”

-It’s not an operation, so you can relax. As you can see from the schedule, it’s hard to say because of security. If I could give you a hint though… Good thing.

“hmm… And what about Harry?”

– You can ride with Harry.

“Are there any other transmissions?”

-doesn’t exist. That’s all. See you later, Mr. Lee.

“All right.”

Of course, this was also something that wasn’t in Lareple.

Everything has changed from the very beginning, so I can’t predict what will happen, but Robert was trustworthy.

So I put my phone back in and counted the time.

“what… In 3 hours, I’ll do all my workouts today. It will be enough to run when you go.”

Setting the alarm on my watch, I left the locker room.

I don’t know what good things are going to happen, but for now, it was my turn to exercise.
