I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 rebar

“Oh my gosh! Are you okay? Stop kicking hard… I’m sorry!”

After I fell on purpose once, I ran to Kim Oh-cheol.

Then, he apologized in advance and emphasized that it was absolutely not intentional.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Oh, you got the nose right.”

“Hey, blood.”

Seniors also approach Kim Oh-cheol with a surprised face.

It’s not like everyone’s worried about something.

The part that shows Kim Oh-cheol’s personal relationships.

It’s good news for me

“I’ll call the medics! Wait a minute!”

“···Hey.”

“Lee Byung Choi Do-jin!”

“…you got it right on purpose, didn’t you?”

right.

I need to come out like this so it’s easier for me to talk.

“I just kicked as hard as I could… Then, Corporal Oh-cheol Kim, do you think that I can control the direction with enough power? This is my first time today.”

“No, that’s not it, ha, damn it.”

“How did I just get caught, but I’m sorry about Corporal Kim Oh-cheol’s face…! I’m really sorry!”

I bowed my back one after another.

Of course, I didn’t do it a few times.

The seniors next to me said it was okay and said it wasn’t your fault, but rather comforted me.

The squad leader did it himself.

“You said it with your mouth. Asmodian balls are completely different from tossing and attacking. With common sense, it’s impossible to hit someone who is playing the demon for the first time today.”

“No, you’re so damn cool.”

“Isn’t that because you kicked hard? And did you see it too? He couldn’t overcome that power and fell as soon as he kicked it.”

Not because the squad leader said it, but Kim Oh-cheol would be hard to deny.

Because if I admit it, my demonic skills become that much superior.

There is no way Kim Oh-cheol, who has strong self-esteem, can do that.

“Look at him bowing his back like this because he’s sorry too.”

“…”

Oh-cheol Kim gets up from his seat as if he has nothing more to say.

Blood smeared on the shit he chewed on his face.

I barely held back the moment I almost burst out of laughter.

“The youngest, Oh Chul, take me to the medical school. You’d better get there first when I’m going to call the medics and get them here.”

“It’s done. I go alone.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

Kim Oh-cheol trudges away, stealing blood with his sleeve.

He was a little thirsty after playing a few games, so he probably doesn’t have to drink soda.

Seeing that miserable backside makes my whole body cool.

That evening.

The senior who went to Hunter Mart with me earlier is talking about it.

“Fu ha ha ha. Do Jin-ah.”

“Lee Byung Choi Do-jin.

“You said you put a magic ball on Kim Oh-cheol’s face?”

“Ah, that’s…”

“You know, you know. How did you get it to go in? But how does that get stuck on Kim Oh-cheol’s face again? It’s funny, really.”

“Now that’s why you’re lying on the medical bed… How to ask for forgiveness…”

“What kind of forgiveness is forgiveness? You get hurt while playing. And I wish I could rot there for a month. I will live without seeing your face.”

no.

I wish I could come right up tomorrow.

Because of today’s work, you’re going to want me even more with any fuss, but what about it?

‘I can pay you back like today. That’s more fun.’

***

Sunday was spent training.

Since Monday was the preparation period for the promotion exam, it was not too much of a problem.

And back on Monday.the start of the week.

The squad members’ faces filled with gloom at the thought that the fatigue that had barely been relieved was piling up again.

“It’s Monday again.”

“Why does the weekend go by so quickly?”

“I feel like I’ve passed out again… I’m suddenly out of my mind…”

Even if they say that, when it comes to training or battle, they work harder than anyone else.

To be honest, the sense of duty to protect the country and the people…

‘Because I have to get money.’

Hunter’s basic salary is also the basic salary, and the bonus is especially high.

He comes back as much as he did.

Just like I got a bounty for catching a count while on duty.

‘Let’s continue to make things like that.’

It is not difficult to make.

Numerous incidents and accidents to occur in the future.

You already know everything, so all you have to do is go in and solve it at the right time.

‘Of course, you must have the power to solve it.’

Its power continues to grow.

I go to and from the training room every day.

08:30.

The squad leader briefed the schedule as usual.

“You all know? There’s a promotion test this week. It is the preparation period from today.”

“A horse is a preparation period, isn’t it actually just general training?”

“Almost not. Still, it’s better than preparing readiness and tactical training, isn’t it?”

“Hmm, that’s right.”

“Come on, if you understand, let’s all go to the outdoor training ground on time. It will probably be done by rank.”

The promotion test has different standards for each rank.

So, it is natural to divide the preparation by class.

There is no good news for sick people like me.

Because I can’t see the seniors.

Although I have little meaning due to Kim Oh-cheol’s absence.

“Let’s go down first.”

“Oh, yes.”

I first moved to the field training ground with the other privates.

unconditionally prior to appointment.

And at least 15 minutes before the meeting time.

If you want to get there in time, you have to leave now.

Of course, things get a little better when you become a private.

‘Before the return, it took several years to get one of those privates. Well, it’s okay. You don’t have to repeat it this time.’

I relaxed and looked around the outdoor training ground.

There is not much difference from 10 years later.

It’s less outdated and looks more modern.

As 09 o’clock approached, the hunters gathered one by one.

And soon the trainers appeared.

“They stand in three columns by rank. practice!”

“practice!”

Hunters line up neatly.

I also found a place among the soldiers.

“These soldiers follow me.”

“Yes!”

The place that moved along the training center was a certain large hall.

The walls are lined with strange cylinders.

“We will conduct training to develop physical ability, which is one of the promotion tests, and agility among dogs.”

“Yes!”

“Five people from the left to come forward.”

“Yes!”

The method is simple.

A small amount of magical energy is fired from the cylinder on the wall, and you have to avoid it.

but···

‘There’s just too much to avoid. It’s also fast.’

Still, there is no other training like this to develop agility.

after.

Reminds me of old times

I really did a lot.

To be precise, not in the past, but before the return.

“Slow. Move faster.”

“Heh heh. Yes.”

“More.”

“Heh heh heh.”

The hall soon filled with the sound of heavy breathing.

If the concentration of the magical mass was a little higher, the pain would have been mixed with that breath.

“Look at these levels, levels. next!”

Then my turn came.

I stood in the hall with the privates assigned to the same group.

🤩🤩🤩🤩

A small light spreads inside the cylinder.

A signal that a mass of magic has been fired.

I took a short deep breath and took a position.

Of course it’s nothing.

Lightly, just roll your feet.

Shoo shoot!

Soon, dozens of magical masses jumped out of the cylinder.

otherwise there is no gap.

It flies from all directions, front, back, side, and above.

‘It’s agility training, but there shouldn’t be any gaps.’

I leaned back slightly.

A lump of magic flies to the other side and gets stuck.

That was the beginning.

Shoo shoot!

Masses of magic are poured out indiscriminately.

If yes, what will happen?

It doesn’t hurt that much.

Instead, it leaves a mark on the combat uniform.

‘Therefore, the purpose of this training is to reduce the traces as much as possible. But I’m not reducing it, it’s that it won’t happen at all.’

I don’t mean to be arrogant.

All training related to the promotion test, including this training, is tailored to the average ability of the privates.

For me, who already has sergeant-level power, of course it has to be easy.

In addition, it has the characteristics of strong bones.

‘If you’re struggling here, that’s more of a problem.’

A mass of magic was still flying around.

If it had been before the return, he would have given up his limbs, as well as his torso and head, right away.

But not now.

It brushed away a mass of magic like flowing water.

It was possible to snatch it by hand without avoiding it if he wanted to.

“Uh… just stop. Good work.”

At the height of the scene, the training center stops operating the cylinder.

I’m sorry.

If I had done more, it would have led to an increase in experience.

I shrugged my shoulders and walked out of the hall.

body was clean.

Among the numerous masses of magic, not a single one passed by my body.

“Choi Do-jin.”

The training officer who was seating the next privates calls me in for a moment.

“Lee Byung Choi Do-jin!”

“You, this guy, are doing pretty well. Since I moved in, I have been confined to the training room like a poison bell, but now it seems to be starting to shine.”

“thank you!”“Yeah, go ahead and wait.”

“Yes!”

In fact, it is still a questionable situation to describe with words.

But the training officer didn’t seem to care that much.

‘Today alone, the kids who did well ended up with only three or four hits. There’s nothing strange about not getting a single hit.’

The problem was rather elsewhere.

There were soldiers around.

“Dojin-ah, what did you do? Please tell me the trick.”

“Did you do any special training?”

“Have you eaten any spirit that improves agility? It’s not like you’ve been avoiding the magic nugget, it’s like the magic nugget evaded you.”

What should I explain?

I pondered for a moment, then brought out exactly what the trainer had just said to me.

“I think it’s because I trained hard.”

It’s not a lie.

It is true that he has been trained like that, although his strength remains the same after returning.

‘But if you show your power recklessly, questions like these spring up around you. Well, that’s what I expected.’

No problem.

because it won’t be a problem.

‘But if it’s related to illegal drugs, it’s a bit of a pain in the ass. Before returning, I already had poor grades.’

But let’s hide our power…

No.

‘But there’s no need to hide your power. And what if you get tested for illegal drugs? It’s clean.’

After all, training and promotion tests are all based on the standards of private soldiers.

Even if he gets a perfect score, he’s not even above average, let alone exceptional.

‘Don’t make it complicated. You don’t have to be too naive to say the least.’

That’s how I organized my thoughts.

Meanwhile, agility training was also being completed.

“The hard work was done. In the afternoon we will do other training.”

“Yes!”

I went to the dining room with the other soldiers.

And I filled my stomach for the next afternoon.

“We will proceed with strength and stamina training.”

“Yes.”

The afternoon was strength and strength training.

First of all, the latter is not too difficult because the gait is slightly modified.

However, the former is so difficult that it is called a difficult course even in the promotion exam.

because.

It’s because if you lose even a little of your strength, it’s impossible to pass at all.

“The first is strength training. Have you seen this once? Hold it with both hands, lift it up and lower it like a dumbbell, and repeat.”

“Yes.”

A long rebar was held in the training officer’s hand.

Dungeon Reinforcement.

As the name suggests, reinforcing bars are often found in dungeons, but they are quite heavy like real rebars, so they are often used as exercise equipment.

‘If you use items from the dungeon, you gain resistance to the heterogeneous energy in the dungeon. If you’re going to exercise in the past, it’s much more effective to exercise with something like this.’

Soon, the dungeon reinforcing bars were also held in the hands of the soldiers.

The trainer said about the precautions.

“As you can see just by looking at it, it is heavy, but it is very sturdy. If you accidentally drop it on the instep of your foot, you’ll be in the medical service right away. If you don’t want to, just throw it to the ground.”

“Yes.”

“Then do three sets of 5 reps per set. practice.”

“practice!”

Do three sets of 5 reps per set.

Same as morning agility training.

It’s too easy for me

So, suddenly, a strange curiosity arose.

‘But is it that hard?’

I tried applying strength to the dungeon rebar once.

Of course it won’t break, but you can get a rough idea of how strong it is…

···what?
