I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Chapter 52 blink

“If you are demoted by one rank… will you become Private?”

“right. You will become a private.”

“You hit it really hard.”

“From what I’ve heard, it’s not like that in the first place, but I think it’s because of the double dungeon problem.”

“Then are you the same as Minho or Dojin now?”

“uh.”

“Wow, that’s great, really.”

There is a gap in the Hunters as well.

Even if you are of a lower rank, if you eat a little bit of time, you will be treated to a certain extent.

But that treatment is only given to those who deserve to be treated.

There is no need or reason to do anything to a guy like Kim Oh-cheol, you mean relegation?

Things got fun.

“Pu ha ha ha. What is it all about?”

“So that’s it. I was surprised to hear it too.”

“Pr. O-Cheol Kim, no, should I call myself Private O-Cheol Kim from now on? Anyway, are you aware of this?”

“You don’t know yet?”

“Doesn’t it make you faint when you hear it?”

“I’m glad it ends in fainting. It will take a while to run again.”

It is possible to be promoted by building achievements rather than by exams, but as the squad leader said, it takes quite a bit of time.

Since I was relegated due to non-compliance with orders, there must be a lot of difficulties even if I build up a track record.

In a word, completely fucked up.

Laughter keeps coming out of your mouth.

‘I hope Thursday comes sooner.’

***

The main weapon training continued the next day.

It was a little tighter than yesterday, but I rather liked it.

[Swordsmanship standard skill proficiency increases!][Swordsmanship standard skill proficiency increases!][Swordsmanship standard skill proficiency increases!]

Because I was able to fully enjoy the effects of the Infinite Swordsmanship buff.

The proficiency of skills such as one-point attack and continuous slashing has also risen vertically.

The notifications kept popping up and my eyes hurt.

Another day passed like that.

The same routine was repeated on Wednesday.

originally like this

If no training is scheduled, only the main weapon training will be conducted.

Or, because they are focused on shooting, they only grind their horse guns all week.

Another day later, Thursday.

The main weapon training continued without fail.

The soldiers felt a little bored with the repeated daily routine.

But our squad was an exception.

“Hey, do you have three hours left?”

“Are you talking until Corporal Kim Oh-cheol arrives?”

“uh. I’m really curious about his reaction, I’m going crazy.”

Even if he made a mistake, he was demoted to the first rank at the Military Training College, and how he mocks him, this is Kim Oh-cheol’s reputation.

I’m curious too.

I don’t want to make fun of you by sticking out your tongue, but I want to see that face.

“Everyone worked hard.”

“Yes.”

So the work day was over and I went up to the dormitory.

and how long has it been

“Oh, is Oh Cheol here?”

“···Yes.”

Finally he returned.

haggard face.

There is no life in his eyes.

“Quickly unpack and rest.”

“···Yes.”

Everyone pretends to be worried and glances at Kim Oh-cheol’s reaction.

You must have heard the news about Kim Oh-cheol. The news that he was demoted to 1st class due to further disciplinary action.

I’m feeling right now…’I’d say fuckin’ in a slang word.’

It’s over when you go to the military training college, even if it’s hard.

It means you have to live as a private until you get promoted again.

It wouldn’t be a lightning bolt.

“Fuck…”

You can tell just by looking at him muttering to himself.

Kim Oh-cheol is not just downgrading his rank now.

His salary was also reduced accordingly.

Above all, a corporal can no longer rule as a senior officer. either in the dormitory or at the training ground.

He said that the squad leader knew, but pretended not to know.

“Oh Chul-ah, did you hear the news? It was demoted by one rank.”

“···Yes.”

“Then, you are now in the same rank as Minho and Dojin, so be careful about your actions.”

“···Yes.”

The squad leader isn’t sarcastic, it’s true.

Corporals and Privates are bound to be different.

Kim Oh-cheol’s face hardens even more.

“Oh, did you hear that too? We’re going out for the 5th tomorrow.”

“···I heard.”

“Let’s do well, Oh Chul-ah.”

“···Yes.”

just answer yes yes

I’m a little out of my mind

‘I don’t think anything of it.’

So why did you go out then?

I’ll just keep quiet and follow instructions.

***

“After the above training… uh, Lieutenant Young.”

“Yes!”

“Take care of the kids so that they can take 5 standby shifts.”

“all right!”

The next day, Friday afternoon.

As soon as the work day was over, under the command of Second Lieutenant Young So-jin, a shift with the previous 5th squad was carried out.

There was nothing special.

Only the umbilical cord was delivered, and the battle vest, strap, and ammunition were newly provided from the control room.

And I went straight to the headquarters building.

It was because there was a separate dormitory for 5 waiting rooms.

“Loyalty!”

“Oh, loyalty.”

At the same time, the 1st Squadron 1st Squadron of the 3rd Squadron, who will be in the 5th squad, was also coming.

Since the deputy platoon leader over there has a little spare time, Lieutenant Young So-jin immediately salutes.

So, the deputy platoon leader over there is also in charge of command and headquarters.

Lieutenant Young So-jin is in charge of the search team.

Of course, there was also Seong Da-kyung in the crowd.

“I haven’t seen you in a while, but I see you again often.”

“Haha, I will.”

We greeted each other warmly and entered the dormitory.

This is because we do not sleep separately, but wait together.

“I am so-called Park Ki-ho, who is in charge of the command and headquarters team of this 5-minute combat stand-by unit. As much as we do it jointly, I want them to work hard while pulling each other together.”

“Yes!”

Following Lieutenant Park Ki-ho, Lieutenant Young So-jin also introduced herself.

And he exchanged greetings among his soldiers as well.

Since the companies were mixed, it took time to get to know each other to some extent.

It was composed of a main group, a search group, and a guard group.

I entered the search team led by Lieutenant Young So-jin, Gaejung.

A horse is a search force, but in fact, it is no less than a battle force.

If the gate suddenly explodes, the search team must take care of it as much as possible on the spot.

“Okay then, let’s do our best until next Friday.”

“Yes!”

The first 5 waits after the return that started like that.

However···

“…”

“…”

nothing

Just wait until something happens.

really just waiting.

As I said before, it is an unavoidable part.

No, that’s part of it.

When a situation arises, you have to jump out quickly within 5 minutes, how can you run another routine or task?

So I don’t even work.

‘It’s a little sweet not to be at work.’

Instead, it’s a 24-hour wait, so even if you sleep, you’ll have to wear a combat uniform to sleep.

Oh, and the combat boots.

ugh

I glanced around the bed.

There are quite a few people in the two squads, including medics, signalmen, and even observers.

But it’s not particularly complicated.

As such, the bed is spacious and the dormitory itself is very large in the first place.

‘They say it’s a dormitory dedicated to waiting for 5, and that’s it.’

I put my battle helmet down next to me. You must always maintain a single army, but you can take off your combat helmet.

And I opened my mission notebook.

In fact, you don’t even need to see it.

Because I already knew enough to memorize it before returning.

However, leaving the ranks, there are two executives sitting down to Lieutenant Young So-jin.

It’s a bit awkward to talk about…

“You said that your squad won the guerrilla fight last time?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Look, Lieutenant Young teaches well.”

“no. It’s just that the squad members took care of it.”

That’s not the case.

That’s right, Lieutenant Park Ki-ho was very free.

‘If you deal with situations well, you won’t hear anything even if you play mafia games during this waiting time.’

Unsurprisingly, the members of that squad were already chattering with the person next to them.

The mission notebook was just a decoration.

Of course, everyone, not just me, must have already been familiar with it.

Oh my gosh, there’s no one who doesn’t know what to do when he’s running for five.

“Hey.”

Then, someone from the side poked my thigh and stabbed me.

“A search team?”

“Oh, yes.”

“Good job. I am also a search team.”

“Oh, that’s right. Yes, good luck.”

It was a female hunter with a young face.

The rank is Infantry.

The face is ripe, of course.

I’ve seen it a few times since I broke the trap dungeon last week.

“It’s Yeonjung Oh.”

“This is Choi Do-jin.”

Somehow, I even got the last name again.

Of course, no one cared about us. Because everyone was talking about it before.

“Thank you for serving.”

“When is it?”

“When it comes to public support. At that time, my comrade saved me.”

“Ah···!”

I remember.

The gate suddenly opened and a lot of Barks appeared, and a young hunter with a young face who was close to being hit.

That woman is this woman.

“I wanted to say thank you right away, but it was a bit difficult to approach me willingly. sorry.”

“no. And I think he said thank you back then.”

“I got that kind of help, but it’s a one-time thing.”

“It’s only once. Don’t worry too much.”

“Be nice. Your personality is as good as your skills. But from then on, I knew.”

“What?”

“It’s the skill of your comrade.”

“Oh, no.”

“Did you see everything when you removed the trap dungeon?”“You have misunderstood.”

“Is the trap removed incorrectly? It’s all skill.”

Oh Yeon-jung lowers her voice slightly.

“Last time you rode the guerrilla king too. Beat all the seniors.”

“That’s different from combat ability.”

“Instead, you need physical ability. Doesn’t that mean that your comrades have better physical abilities than your seniors?”

“Hummm…”

“If I did that, I would just shudder. You are even humble.”

It’s not that I’m being humble, it’s something I’m a bit embarrassed about.

Why do you keep getting compliments like this?

Oh Yeon-jung held out her hand and said.

“We’ll be friends in the future.”

“Yes, yes.”

While holding Oh Yeon-jeong’s hand, she made eye contact with another female Hunter who was sitting on the bed opposite for a moment.

She was a surname.

‘You look interesting, Dojin.’

something like that look

I nodded my head slightly and answered it.

After that, I was in the middle of a conversation with Oh Yeon-jung.

Lieutenant Park Ki-ho, who had been banging on his cell phone the whole time whether he was texting or doing something with her girlfriend, jumped up from his seat.

“Let everyone have dinner.”

“Yes!”

It’s dinner time already.

There are things that happen because shifts are done after work, but there are also things that went faster thanks to Oh Yeon-jung. As she went down to the soldier’s dining room, she was chattering next to her.

“What is your favorite food?”

“Among the soldiers’ restaurant food?”

“no. Food outside.”

“Hmm… Chicken?”

“Oh, I like chicken too! So is it Chimaek or Chicole?”

“I’m Chicole.”

“Wow, me! Are you not good at drinking?”

“I drink it when I drink it, but I like Coke better for chicken.”

“that’s right. Chicken has Coke.”

You can’t judge a person by a few hours, but he has a personality that runs wildly.

I think it would be fun to be friendly.

At that time, my eyes met with a female hunter.

‘You look really interesting, Dojin.’

It was Sung Da-kyung again.

***

After dinner, before going up to the dormitory.

She stopped by the bathroom for a while.

It’s good to get things done when you have time like this.

Because you never know when things will happen.

“Hey.”

I wash my hands after doing something to do, but someone walks into the bathroom.

It was Kim Oh-cheol.

“I saw the senior, didn’t you salute?”

“…”

“Are you chewing on my words now?”

“…”

As I continued to say nothing, Kim Oh-cheol furrowed his brows.

Six characters were about to come out of his mouth at any moment.

I opened my mouth softly.

“Oh Cheol-ah.”

“What, what? Oh Cheol-ah?”

“Yes, Oh Chul-ah. It looks like you’re misunderstanding something right now, but you weren’t wearing a private coat of arms for a while in Corporal. It’s just a private, private. I was demoted by one rank and became a private just like me.”

“Hey, you bastard!”

Kim Oh-cheol raised his face and raised his fist.

I took it lightly.

“That means you shouldn’t do this to me in the future.”

“Hey, don’t you let this go?”

I said with a smile.

“Oh, I won’t let it go. This kid.”
