I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Chapter 22 Seong Da-kyung

“Uh… what are you talking about?”

“Um, what do you and your comrade have in common?”

What do I and Seong Da-kyung have in common?

“Anyway, can I do it later?”

“Yes, it is possible.”

“Then see you later.”

Seong Da-kyung suddenly disappears, waving his hand.

what?

What do you and Seong Da-kyung have in common?

“Hey, Dojin-ah! What!”

“Wow, did Seong Da-kyung talk to you first? Awesome, really.”

“What happened, Dojin-ah?”

There was no bird to dig into the question.

Due to the squad and platoon members flocking around me.

“Uh, well, I have something to tell you later.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It didn’t say that.”

“So, as a result… you’re saying we’ll meet again later?”

“I think so.”

“Wow, I’m so envious. But what did you have to see?”

“I don’t know either. We just talked and left.”

The seniors talked for a while longer.

Then, when the platoon commander heard the sound of ‘Don’t play tricks and do it quickly!’, they quickly dispersed.

Oh-cheol Kim has been standing next to me since before, and he didn’t even open his mouth, let alone hide his words.

It was a shitty face the whole time.

I’m going to get some ten bucks.

I said that if I talked, it would flow through the back of my ear, but instead of spilling it, on the contrary, I talked to him first.

I proceeded with the work again with Oh-cheol Kim, who was walking staggeringly behind him.

Tsutsu-

Tsutsu-

Tsutsu-

Gate debris emitting a strange light.

The size is at most about two bricks, but the weight almost feels like lifting some kind of rice kiln.

Whoops, it’s heavy.

Still, he did it without hesitation.

It’s not because it’s a job.

[Experience of strength stat increases slightly!][Experience of strength stat increases slightly!][Experience of strength stat increases slightly!]

Because this also leads to experience points.

Of course, I saw the effect of the beads again this time.

It’s a complete bummer, that’s it.

Hi-Hi.

uh wait…

Come to think of it···

‘I think something happened here.’

long and gloomy

was it now or later.

Is the place right here?

‘Ah. No. right here It’s true that I’m waking up today.’

I looked at the place where the female hunters were gathered over there.

That’s it.

There, today, things happen.

‘Suddenly, a gate was created and the barks poured out.’

Bark.

It’s a monster similar to a Gnoll, except in appearance and strength, it’s a little stronger than a Gnoll.

‘It’s not that hard to catch. the problem is···’

The point is that all the female hunters over there are private soldiers.

It also just moved in.

‘Did you leave these soldiers alone because there are a lot of things to clean over there? Male and female hunters are the same when it comes to hitting.’

If this goes on, some of me will get injured.

This is because even if Bark is weak, it is rather difficult for a new recruit to handle it.

‘I’ll have to go on time. I’ll have to catch it.’It’s not about pretending to be a hero who defeats a villain.

Bark gives good experience.

very quite.

‘I have to catch the monster anyway. In order to unlock the reaction-on slash-related skills over the weekend.’

“Eat everyone deliciously!”

“Yes!”

12:05.

A dining table was set up on one side of the farmhouse.

It is enough to sit with your buttocks on the floor, but you cannot enter a restaurant in this state.

Because there are debris all over the body.

“Hey, Dojin-ah.”

“Private Choi Do-jin.”

“When is Seong Da-kyung coming?”

“Would you like to come after lunch?”

“okay? Then I will stay by your side.”

At the words of one senior, hands rained down here and there.

“Put me in too!”

“me too!”

“I’ll be there too!”

It seems like they are trying to watch Seong Da-kyung while they are together.

But that wind was soon broken mercilessly.

“Comrade, let’s go over there and talk.”

“Uh, yes.”

After lunch.

Seong Da-kyung, who came to me again, points to the tree trunk over there.

The seniors around him seem to be unconcerned.

Oh-cheol Kim is also putting his buttocks on to fit in, but he doesn’t even look at it at all.

“Oh, you haven’t introduced me yet. I am Seong Da-kyung.”

“This is Choi Do-jin.”

I don’t really need to introduce myself.

It’s not that it’s not, because Seong Da-kyung is more well-known in our unit than the battalion commander.

“Can I call you Dojin?”

“sure.”

“You call me that too, Do-jin.”

“Yes.”

Originally, hunters from other companies call themselves comrades or anyone anyone.

I’m more comfortable with the latter.

Feeling like something sticks better in your mouth?

by the way···

If you look closely, you look really pretty, Seong Da-kyung.

The saying that I could be an idol didn’t come out for nothing.

“Have you thought about what I and Dojin have in common?”

“I thought about it, but I don’t know. what?”

“It’s a promotion test.”

“A promotion test?”

“Only me and Do-jin are the passers of this promotion test.”

Ah.

That was the story.

Seong Da-kyung said, leaning on the back of a tree.

“So speaking, I think Do-jin is really great.”

“What?”

“The pass rate for the promotion exam from corporal to sergeant is still a bit high, but the pass rate for the promotion exam from private to private is very low.”

“It is, but…”

“How the hell did you get through it? Miraculous.”

“I just practiced hard.”

“Are you just doing ten or fifteen hours a day?”

“Ugh, I can’t do that. I have a job.”

“Then, are you really talented?”

No way.

“no. It’s normal. And you know Da-kyung, if you’re talented, you’re an officer, there’s no reason to be in the military.”

“Some of the soldiers may have good talent.”

Not at all either.

It was my talent as a hunter that always fought for the bottom rank among the soldiers.

But now I think I have to agree to some extent.

It can’t be said that it was thanks to the return and maintaining the power, right?

“Among the soldiers… it could be.”

“Then, aren’t we going all the way up to corporal and sergeant now? If you have Dojin-san’s skills, I think your performance will be great in areas such as catching monsters and training.”

There are two main ways for a Hunter to be promoted.

One is to pass the promotion exam.

The other is to build achievements as Seong Da-kyung says now.

Most hunters are promoted to the latter.

‘Because that’s what it means to be strong.’

Before the return, I couldn’t do that.

really supportive.

I answered once.

“Hey, I’m just starting, so that’s a little bit. And although the pass rate is low, the difficulty itself is much more difficult for the promotion test from corporal to sergeant. So I think Da-kyung would be more like that.”

“Me?”

“If Da-kyung is talented, won’t she be promoted to an executive sooner or later?”

It’s not something I’m trying to say.

In fact, Da-kyung Seong is later promoted to an executive.

“Then it would be nice, but first, you have to work hard.”

“I think I can do it.”

“Do you see that?”

“Yes.”

“I saw you for the first time today.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen it, but I’ve heard it a lot.”

“What did you hear?”

“Hmm, shall I say what I heard?”

“Yes.”

“It is said that a hunter named Seong Da-kyung in the 3rd Company kills his skills really horribly.”

Seong Da-kyung, who did not show any change in expression during the conversation, bursts into laughter, saying, “You are speaking exactly what you heard.”

And open your mouth again.

“Who did that?”

“Soldiers and officers as well.”

“Are the officers too?”

“Yes. You are already famous for your skills.”

The face is also a celebrity.

“To be honest, I heard a lot of that kind of thing in our company, but I didn’t know that it came out like that in the 1st company as well.”

“It could be that other units also have that kind of sound.”

“It has gone too far.”

It’s true…

Seong Da-kyung looked at her watch and said.

“Time goes by very quickly. It’s already 12:55.”

“okay? Then we’ll be back soon.”

“Yes. It was fun talking.”

“Me too.”

He bowed slightly and returned to his original seat.

something strange

‘He has a very expressionless face, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel cold.’

I thought she was a widow, but she’s not a widow.

a little that…

‘I do not know. Let’s do something.’

***

“What is Seong Da-kyung?”

“Dakyung Seong, won’t you talk about me?”

“How is Seong Da-kyung?”

Seong Da-kyung… Seong Da-kyung…

As soon as he returns to his seat, questions are flying all over the place.

By the time I answered them one by one, it was already well past 13 o’clock.

Originally, I should have listened to one saying that I was joking, but it was a riot to tie me up even more.

Seong Da-kyung’s influence is huge.

It was approaching 13:20 when he barely pulled himself out.

In memory…

‘The gate will explode from the other side 40 minutes from now.’

At that point, private female hunters were still standing one after another.

There were also quite a few privates, but they were a bit out of the way.

‘I’ll have to move my body over there first.’There is nothing difficult.

There’s a lot of debris over there, so it’s okay to use it as an excuse for work.

time passing like that.

I glanced at the clock and saw 13:59.

‘It’s a minute before the explosion and there is no sign of anything.’

That’s basically what the gate is.

Not even a minute, but a second before, there is really no sign of anything.

The body was already attached to that point.

Private female hunters were still carrying debris without knowing anything.

‘Now is the time to be created… now!’

The weapon is already in your hand.

There is no sign until a second before, and a gate is created suddenly like that, so you should always carry it with you.

Aww!

There was already a hole in the air.

Gnoll-like monsters are pouring out of it.

it was bark

“Gate!”

“Everyone get out of the way!”

Calls from the platoon commander and other executives can be heard here and there.

However, it is impossible to keep up with the speed at which the gates are created only if the hunters’ reactions are fast.

Unless you know in advance like me and don’t move.

Wicked!

I just swung my sword.

A Bark, who was about to hit a young-faced female hunter, collapses with a squeaky sound.

I couldn’t stand up right away, so I attacked the other guy.

Wicked!

Wicked!

Wicked!

About ten heads.

If there are many, that’s a lot of numbers, but it wasn’t a difficult fight for me.

‘I caught a few trucks before they returned.’

Officers and senior soldiers were already running from here and there.

In fact, the battle is already over.

But rather than winning…

‘It matters how much you catch.’

Bark gives a lot of experience points compared to its grade, so it is also called a rogue monster.

However, the number of appearances is so small that it is almost impossible to see them normally.

Unless you look around and find it.

With that in mind, even if you get hit with an arm or a leg, you have to catch it.

It’s a wound that can be healed later.

“Queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

“Ouch.”

Funny thing is, I was really hit in the forearm by a guy, but it only bled a little.

Almost all of the equipment was protected.

“Looks like you went out to clear the gate debris and then you really need to clear the gate.”

“Remove it now!”

The battle was soon over.

Due to the circumstances, the officers hurriedly got rid of them.

I was satisfied.

Seven of them died on my sword.

[Experience of strength stats increases!][Experience of the stamina stat increases!][Experience of agility stats increases!]

Good good.

Erm, I’m sorry.

“Wow… what is that comrade… that’s cool…”

“Thank you, Comrade!”

I can hear female hunters talking around.

Then he looked at my forearm and ran to me in amazement.

“it’s okay? Are you hurt a lot?”

“What should I do, look at this blood.”

Female hunters surround me.

But at this moment, my eyes were on a completely different place.

‘Oh oh!’
