I Was Discharged From the Hunter Guild

80 – May I ask for your autograph?

“Ummm..”

“Uh… Aide? Somehow the atmosphere seems a bit strange…”

“I think so too, but did you do something wrong in the meantime?”

“Ah… no? Nothing like that ever happened…”

After completing the ‘reconnaissance mission’, my colleagues and I entered the temporary headquarters to report the situation.

However, right after that, we started to feel a strange atmosphere that was quite different from before.

From the moment they entered the building, people’s attention suddenly began to focus on them.

Recognizing the emotions contained within it, such as trembling and a little wariness, I automatically began to question.

‘No, what the hell are you doing? Did I really do something wrong without my knowledge? I’ve never done anything worth taking…’

All I had just done was simply personally experimenting with something I’d always been curious about and conducting a double-deal reconnaissance mission.

As it was officially approved, there was no element that could be a problem in the military law in the process.

Even the battles that were dragged out came back without paying any damage, so there shouldn’t be anything that could be a problem about this.

Even though I hadn’t done anything that would sting me, I started to feel a little shrunken by the unusual atmosphere I was feeling at this moment.

at that time..

“Ah..that..over there..!”

The next moment, people rushing this way from the end of the hallway.

Apparently, they seemed to belong to the same group as the adjutant who had rented the fighter the other day, and they stood right in front of us, breathing heavily.

“Uhhhhdd..dreamers’s thn…wouldn’t it be right?”)

“..Yes, it is. I’m Lee Jin-hyeon, but… what’s going on?”

A female adjutant looked at me and seemed to have something urgent to say.

Then, the male adjutant who accompanied her stood behind her, and she continued to speak in a slightly trembling tone.

“That.. that.. so.. this. for now..”

While gasping for breath with those words, she starts to pull out something.

Regarding this, in line with the unusual atmosphere around us, our A-class hunters began to show a little wariness, and I also felt a strange tension and closely watched the behavior of the person in front of my eyes.

And… the thing brought out in front of me…

“… ? This… what is this?”

“So, can I ask for an autograph?”

“..yes?”

She holds out the paper and the fan while talking in a very earnest voice.

I began to feel even more doubtful and perplexed by her words, which did not seem to be joking, and seemed to contain considerable sincerity.

“Boo.. please! My name is Park Ha-eun.. Just one piece with the word cheer up..”

“Hey Park Ha-eun.. that’s not it. What do you do in front of everyone else?”

“That…but…”

“Put personal responsibilities for later, work comes first for now.”

“Ugh..”

Towards a female adjutant named Park Ha-eun

A male adjutant who speaks in an absurd voice.

Then he looked at my face with a calm expression on his face and spoke in a polite voice.

“Excuse me. My colleague is so immature…”

“Ah… no. Excuse me… By the way, I still don’t understand it well, so could you explain what the hell this situation is?”

“yes. We’ll do that as soon as possible, but I’d like you to move your seat a little before that. Maybe that’s why the atmosphere here is a bit off.”

“I see what you mean.”

Certainly, normal conversation would be almost impossible in a situation like this where the attention of the people around you is focused.

Accordingly, I and the hunters followed the two lieutenants and started moving somewhere.

*

We arrived at the place guided by the Air Force adjutants.

When I arrived at the place, which is considered to be a place usually used as a conference hall, I began to feel embarrassed once again due to a different picture from what I had imagined.

The hunters and I thought we would go to a relatively quiet place and hear about this strange atmosphere from the adjutants who guided me.

But… at this moment, in front of us were three or four high-ranking officers, including Adjutant Song Dana, who first offered me the fighter.

Those who actually lead the current Hamheung front line, and those who can be said to have the authority to command the front line.

So, when I unexpectedly arrived at the place where the so-called key staff members were gathered, I began to feel a deep sense of tension…

Seeing me like that, Adjutant Song Dana opened her mouth with a calm smile on her lips.

“Welcome, Lieutenant Jinhyeon Lee. I am really sorry for calling you so suddenly.”

The slightly arrogant attitude of the first meeting has completely disappeared, and she speaks to me in a tone that feels quite polite.

To this, I answered her with a little embarrassment.

“Ah… no, I’m fine. If it doesn’t matter, could you please explain the situation before anything else?”

“Sure, I’d be happy to do that, but I’d like you to take a look at this first.”

With those words, Adjutant Song Dana slowly rose from her seat.

Then, she played the screen in front of us as it was, and then started playing a short video in front of us.

“yes?”

“This is obviously…”

The video begins to appear in front of our eyes through a fairly large screen.

What it was, we could recognize without much difficulty.

‘This is… this is the video from when I was on a reconnaissance mission just now… why the hell is this?’

‘It was definitely a great video. It’s because it contains information on how to neutralize the anti-aircraft nets of the Abyss.’

‘But even so, it feels a bit too fast to figure out and obtain this in this way.. Perhaps, looking at the temporal circumstances, it seems that we have been watching our actions since the first sortie.’

Of course, I was also somewhat aware of the value of this video that was being shown in front of me at this moment.

If applied well, the return rate of allied aircraft can be dramatically increased, and through this, a video that can be said to contain a secret plan to save enormous resources and power.

However, apart from the value of such a video, I inevitably had doubts about their reactions that were too fast for a simple coincidence, and I also started to have some doubts.

‘If you think about it, it was very strange that you handed over five fighter jets worth 80 billion won to me, an adjutant of a mercenary, not a regular army. And crucially, this reaction… I knew from the beginning that I would come out with something like this…’

A situation that makes you feel not very pleasant, like being watched, depending on what you think.

With that thought in mind, I decided to listen to what Adjutant Song Dana in front of me was trying to say, and began to watch the situation with vigilance.

And after a while, after the video, which was quite short compared to the entire mission time, ended…

She, Adjutant Song Dana, looked at me and said with a bright smile on her lips.

“As you can see… I watched Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun’s performance well. To be honest, I knew that you would show something out of the ordinary, but I never really thought that you would show something so extraordinary.”

Adjutant Dana conveys words of admiration with sincerity.

About this, I told her with a little wariness.

“It seems that you had high expectations from me from the beginning… but if you don’t mind, may I ask the reason?”

Depending on the situation, it was a question that could be a bit like a sharp awl.

Who are you to know me so well? Could it be that there is something behind this?

Because it was a story that could be a question to dig into the other person’s identity or background.

But..

In response to my question, Adjutant Song Dana said to me with a smile that was slightly burdensome.

“Of course, since it’s not really a secret anyway, there’s no reason not to reveal it.”

With those words, she slowly handed me her phone.

Shortly thereafter, scans of materials that seemed somehow familiar to my eyes began to come in.
