I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Chapter 107 not measurable

“If you are already dating… I think it would be difficult.”

It was difficult to speak

Lieutenant Young So-jin’s eyes were getting redder.

Tears are plentiful in the corners of my eyes.

How hard would it be to show such a strong person like that?

my heart aches

“Is that so…? Will it be difficult…?”

Lieutenant Young Sojin wipes his eyes with the back of his hand.

As if trying to hide his tears.

But no matter how much he wiped, he couldn’t even wipe the red tears from his eyes.

“I’m sorry, I’m too lazy.”

“no. I fully understand.”

“thanks.”

Lieutenant Young Sojin said with his head slightly bowed.

“Can you keep it a secret now? It’s embarrassing when I’m actually doing this.”

“Yes. I’ll take it to the grave. My mouth is really heavy.”

I said deliberately overdoing it.

I was afraid that this would make Second Lieutenant Young So-jin feel a little better.

“Didn’t you tell me last time that I did that with alcohol?”

“Yes. He doesn’t drink alcohol at all to take it to the grave.”

“Who was the person who said that my sister went out to a college classmate’s meeting yesterday and drank alcohol…”

“Ouch… that’s…”

He humbly scratched the back of his head.

I hear laughter in front of me.

You seem to have relaxed a bit.

Phew.

I’m glad.

“Will you stop waking up?”

“Yes.”

The place ended like that.

Although he laughed at the end, I was a little worried because he seemed so emotional, but fortunately he was still smiling even when he came out.

But it won’t be a lie.

The shadows hidden behind the smiling face are all visible.

What are you going to do now?

He knew that the man had another woman, so would he give up?

“I’m in big trouble…”

“What are you talking about?”

“If I had known that I had another woman, I should have broken my heart…”

Coincidentally, Lieutenant Young So-jin brought up the story.

However, something completely unexpected happened.

“It doesn’t fold… I think you’ll still like it, that man…”

***

“From now on, we will start the special promotion ceremony for Corporal Dojin Choi of the 1st Company.”

After a vacation of 5 nights and 6 days.

As soon as they returned to the unit, a special promotion ceremony was held.

Since the members of the unit were completely unaware of it, there is still a sign of confusion on his face.

Only Seong Da-kyung secretly comes out and makes eye contact and congratulates him.

“In front of the promoted person.”

“Yes!”

The award was given by the battalion commander himself.

How many times have I already been standing in this place?

I think it was difficult to even stand even once before the return.

“…to have excellent grades and achievements, so we have to specially promote him to a sergeant.”

“Sergeant Dojin Choi!”

“Congratulations, Dojin.”

“thank you!”

He put the promotion badge on his left arm and held the battalion commander’s hand.

He barely calmed his shaking shoulders.

The sergeant had already weighed it before returning, but as for anything to be excited about, the timing of the measurement was advanced by several years.

Moreover, it is a special promotion that is as difficult as passing the promotion test.

I can’t help but be happy

Hi-Hi.

“Wow, congratulations to Corporal Do-jin Choi, no, Sgt. Do-jin Choi!”

“Thank you, hey.”“Hey, Dojin! Congratulations!”

“Haha, thank you.”

When the promotion ceremony is over, the troops come from all over the place.

“Sergeant, just how old are you, sergeant? It’s really great.”

“Damn it… Corporal was also given a special promotion, right?”

“Private was put on the difficult promotion test.”

“Even if I were a Hunter, there wouldn’t be anyone like you, probably.”

It was also a job to say thank you to each one.

After suffering here and there, I finally returned to the dormitory.

“Dojin-ah, be comfortable. You are now a sergeant too.”

As I continued to use respectful words from a while ago, Sgt. Lee Dae-yong said there was no need for that.

he doesn’t need it

Hunter-kun is unconditionally equal if they have the same rank.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t ignore the past.

Sgt. Dae-Yong Lee is also the squad leader of our squad.

“Fine. I will do it now.”

“Hmm, if you’re fine. okay.”

“Yes.”

“Thank you for nothing.”

“no.”

I do this because I am also Sgt. Lee Dae-yong.

Because he was someone who took good care of me when I was having a hard time before returning home.

“Oh Cheol-ah.”

“Private Kim Oh-cheol!”

“Open the window and let the air in.”

“The air purifier doesn’t work.”

“Is it the same as being artificially created and created by nature?”

“sorry!”

“Move it.”

“Yes!”

What if Kim Oh-cheol was that bastard?

no shit

Even when he was relegated to Private, that’s why he didn’t treat me at all.

When the window opens, the cool autumn breeze returns.

After that, the sunset slowly ripens.

It’s autumn now.

But even then, the cold will come soon.

And the hellish cold season training begins… Ugh, let’s think about that later.

“rest.”

As I shake my head, Seong Da-kyung and other female hunters from our squad rush in.

Behind him is Lieutenant Young So-jin.

You’re looking like a normal person to the point where you might wonder who the person you met yesterday was.

I’m relieved now.

“It’s been a while, guys.”

“I missed you, Vice-Captain!”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

Neither me nor the rest of the squad are flattering.

It really is.

Considering how much I was tormented by the 2nd platoon commander and Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi all last week.

“It feels good that way.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin smiles bashfully and talks about some of the messages.

for further training.

Tomorrow is the physical ability evaluation.

And the other one…

“I’ll be back next Monday.”

“Who are you talking about?”

“boot.”

“Five!”

“Everyone has to do well. If there is something difficult or unknown, please kindly let me know.”

“Yep!”

It was a story about a recruit.

it’s finally coming

The squad members are already looking forward to it.

Except for me.

Starting with who I am, I already know everything from face to personality.

“It’s just a little vague.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin’s eyes are on me.

“The opposite is the sergeant.”

“haha…”

“Are you okay, Dojin-ah? This is but I can’t help it Because the matchmaking is decided by military number, not by rank.”

“Fine! What I couldn’t do before, I’ll do better this time…”

“Huh?”

No, what are you talking about, nigga!

changed words quickly.

“Hahaha. I mean, you did as good as I was before!”

“okay. I’m not worried about Dojin. So good.”

me too.

no worries at all

Can’t you just do the parts you didn’t do well before the return?

Do better what you did well.

Come quickly, Yoochung.

***

next day.

As soon as the work started, they gathered by platoon.

It was used to measure physical ability.

There is a promotion test coming soon, but it is usually done periodically.

Although it may not seem like much, this is very important.

“When the measurement is finished, it comes out as a numerical value. Your level is clearly revealed in numbers, that is.”

for that very reason.

It is especially important to me.

When you go up to an executive level, the most important thing to pay attention to is that number.

It’s even more so because he’s a soldier, not the Hunter Academy.

“We will be looking at strength, stamina, and agility. Each part will be measured twice, and it will be recorded with a higher score, so you only need to get it well once out of the two.”

it went well

Mana enhancement obtained during this vacation.

It is also an A-grade mana enhancement.

I wanted to compare in more detail when I wrote it and when I didn’t, and I think I’ll find out for sure here today.

So, would you like to unwind?

Slowly loosen the muscles in your arms and legs.

Turn your neck around once.

“From the third minute forward.”

“Yes!”

“If you look at each person’s feet, there will be one groove. When the whistle sounds, balls the size of a soccer ball rise one by one. All you have to do is throw the ball over there to the line. only for 5 minutes. How about it, simple?”

Holding the ball and throwing it is strength.

Agility is what increases its speed.

It is stamina that maintains that speed.

So it’s simple.

You can see three things at once.

But the problem is that the ball is heavy enough to vomit.

You can tell just by looking at what the 3rd squad is doing right now.

“Look at the blood on your face. It seems very heavy.”

“Have you not heard of that? It’s hard to lift, let alone fly.”

Even if it’s hard, it can’t be helped

Each soldier wears a small sensor, because it scores points based on their holding and flying positions and number of times.

Very accurate with decimals.

Results came out soon.

“Gyeongjun scored 75.5 points.”

“Yoonji 77.2 points.”

“Jungmin got 80.8 points.”

“You have to work harder, the 3rd squad.”

That said, it wasn’t a disappointing fight.

75 is the average of these measurements.

For the former Hunter army.

Squad 2 was the same.

Generally, 75 points were obtained, and the highest was 80 points.

Then it was our squad’s turn.

He took a short breath and took a position.

Mana enhancement was turned off. For comparison by writing on the second measurement.

beep-

When the whistle sounds, the ball rises from the groove.As soon as you hear it, you feel it.

heavy.

But that was it.

How much training did you do for that day and how much hidden pieces did you eat?

That’s about it.

He immediately started throwing the ball like crazy.

“…what is he?”

“How is Corporal Do-jin Choi so fast?”

A muffled voice is heard from behind.

Of course, there was no room for concern.

If you do it straight, you can make a more accurate comparison.

Again, the results came out quickly.

“Dae-yong scored 89.1 points.”

“Dakyung scored 93.7 points. It’s also Dakyung.”

The same sound came out of my mouth.

Also Seong Da-kyung.

He must have passed the promotion exam.

“Dojin is…”

The measurer, who had been grinning, suddenly stuttered.

“Hey, that’s perfect. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a perfect score while measuring this. You deserve a special promotion to Sergeant.”

“thank you.”

it’s perfect

To be honest, I kind of expected it.

As I said before, there’s something I’ve done in the past.

“Wow, how do you get a perfect score?”

“Isn’t this our first unit? No, it seems like the first time in the whole army, right?”

The sound of admiration pouring from all over.

It was even said that it was the first in the entire army, but I was preoccupied with something else.

Only then would I get a perfect score even if I use Mana Enhancement, so I was wondering if it could be compared.

Should I look for another chance?

I took a break and swallowed my regrets.

And an hour later, the turn started again from the third minute.

This was the second measurement.

“One minute forward.”

“Yes!”

And finally, it was our squad’s turn.

It wouldn’t make any sense, but I turned on mana enhancement first.

Even if you don’t know the score, you can figure out how many more balls you’ve hit.

self!

Something invisible to the eye, yet boiling, is wrapped around him.

in my body.

A tremendous amount of power is already rising.

It was a different feeling from that time in the valley.

beep-

As soon as the whistle sounded, he lifted the ball and flew it.

The speed was much faster than before.

“What, what? Are you faster than before?”

“What did he really do…?”

The back is louder than before.

I didn’t care and focused on my work.

And after 5 minutes.

I was able to get my own results.

It looks like you lifted the ball almost twice as much as it did the first time you measured it.

🥺

It’s a bit sad though.

It would have been better if it was judged by an accurate score.

“Dojin is…”

Then my score is recited.

The measurer’s voice trembled again.

what?

It’ll be the same score anyway, so why are you like that?

The reason can be seen in the following sentence.

“It’s impossible to measure.”

“Yes…?”

As if the measurement officer was absurd, he continued talking as if he could not believe it.

“The record wasn’t perfect, but it was completely unmeasurable. It must have gone beyond what the sensor could contain. It’s not just about hitting a lot of balls, it’s about your physical ability.”
