I Returned, But My Power is the Same

black sword.

A skill created when mana is completely applied to the sword.

What I thought was only the property of executives, was made by me.

Kwak-!

The sword was still burning.

It was only a little bit covered, but it was satisfactory enough.

I was thrilled that I was not satisfied.

Up until this point, instead of being covered up, it was all about blinking and disappearing.

[Sword Ki (B): Apply mana to the sword.]

The grade is also B from the start.

Mana response, mana adjustment, mana enhancement, and even fortresses, I already have several A's, but B's are so big.

Depending on how the sword is used, it exerts an effect of B or higher.

concentration of mana.

amount of mana.

by etc.

That's all.

It is possible to raise the grade itself by further polishing.

Then the effect will be much stronger.

That's when I burst out laughing for a long time.

Cheers erupt from the front.

“Wow!”

Lieutenant Young So-jin is running in place.

“Dojin-ah! Success!”

"Yes!"

One day, Lieutenant Young So-jin and the palms of both hands were bumping into each other.

I, too, jumped and jumped in the same place.

I said hello from the beginning.

“Thank you, platoon commander!”

“No, no. why thank me Dojin, you did it because you worked hard.”

at all.

It's true that I worked hard, but if Lieutenant Young Sojin hadn't looked after him like this, he'd still be lost.

Because swordsmanship is such a difficult and difficult skill.

If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have suffered so much when I was training for a professional officer.

Lieutenant Young So-jin said with a characteristic clapping of seals.

“The effort seems to be paying off now. great job. You did a great job, Dojin-ah.”

All the way to the end, it's just my ball.

Are there really other people like this?

“Even if you say that, the platoon commander is my benefactor.”

“No.”

“No. What a help.”

It wasn't just to watch.

Point out what doesn't work.

correct the wrong part.

Let me know where you are confused until you understand.

What a great help.

“So that’s the point, platoon commander.”

I said while coughing in vain.

“Can I continue to ask you?”

“I don't know if I'll be of any help... Then. I am all right.”

“The platoon commander is too. Because it will, help. Anyway, I know that you will continue to look after me.”

Lieutenant Young Sojin smiled and nodded his head.

I also don't intend to go barefoot.

You should give back as much as you received.

Giving you a gift or whatever.

Ah.

It's your birthday soon, so let's take care of that first.

***

"really really? show me!"

After training, I met Seong Da-kyung for a while.

When I told him about swordsmanship, he liked it even more than I did.

"okay. look."

"Huh!"

He took out his training sword and held it lightly.

And it raised mana.

He didn't have to lift much.

It's not the quantity or the concentration that matters, it's the mana that is applied to the sword.

Mana is quickly drained from her body.

It rides on my hand and seeps into the swordsman and even the swordsman.

Kwak-!

Flames rise again on the sword, just like before.lively.

It's like touching your hand.

"Wow!"

admiration bursts out in front.

Seong Da-kyung opens her mouth wide.

“Awesome great!”

"how? Do you look okay?”

"Huh! very!"

Big eyes scan my sword back and forth.

He even touches her fingers when spraying. Oh, it's hot! And I took it off right away.

Seong Da-kyung says with a very excited face.

“Would you like to catch a monster?”

"monster?"

“I wonder about this. How powerful is it?”

"next time. It is too late now.”

"is it? it's a shame."

I'm sorry too.

But it can be seen with the naked eye. how much power do you have

And we have training tomorrow.

Then there are joint operations with other units.

There are plenty of opportunities to check it out.

“Let’s go in.”

"already? Let’s wait a little longer, let’s go, just a little longer.”

"No. Go to bed early so you can train in good shape tomorrow.”

"huh."

The way back.

Seong Da-kyung shook her head and murmured.

“His condition.”

“For people like us, physical condition is life.”

“Write down that condition for me as well.”

"to you?"

"Uh. You want to surprise me.”

"haha. okay. instead later.”

“When later?”

“After the joint operation of other units?”

“...”

Seong Da-kyung bows her head with a melancholy face.

However, the battalion commander still ordered training until the joint operation of other units.

I can't afford to take the time

So I canceled the plan to go to the beach.

“It will be over soon.”

“Is that so?”

"uh. look now Time goes by quickly.”

“I’m with you now, so I’ll bet right away.”

"Anyway."

"tooth."

Seong Da-kyung enters first with a slightly shriveled face. However, the moment she enters, she waves her hand with her smile.

I also stopped waving my hand.

by the way.

Even if I can't go to the beach, I have to take care of my birthday.

Lieutenant Young So-jin's birthday is also around the same time, so I can give it to you.

Hmm.

But what do you give

bag?

clothes?

I don't think the bag is too practical.

The clothes... Yeah, the clothes would be better.

Da-kyung Seong doesn't know what style she likes, so let's match it with that.

The problem is Lieutenant Young So-jin.

What do you really give to Lieutenant Young So-jin?

The bag is a little evanescent apart from practicality.

The clothes don't fit at all.

It's convenient to just ask what you like.

It's quite a surprise.

A surprise gift is meaningless if you ask and give it.

I can't help it, what

let's take a chance

"sister."

The next day, during a break during training, I briefly called my sister.

A woman's heart is well known by the same woman.

- Huh. My cute and lovely little brother, Do Jin-ah.

“...what is that, that vulgar tone of voice and name?”

― These days, I am supported and supported by you. He said he had a younger brother, a famous hunter. Ho Ho. But what's going on?

I understand why, but it's kind of an ominous laugh.

under.

First of all, let me ask you something.

“Please recommend me a present for a girl’s birthday.”

― A girl's birthday present? Is it Dakyung's birthday?

"I do not know. So, give me some recommendations. Something not to be embarrassed about.”

― It shouldn't be a burden... Oh, there's only one.

"what?"

- perfume.

“Oh, the perfume is fine. But doesn’t it feel a little uncomfortable when sweat is mixed with that?”

― Seeing you talking about sweat, it's true that Mr. Dakyung is giving it to you.

“Oh, let me tell you.”

― Sweat can make you feel a bit uncomfortable, but it's up to you to choose.

"okay? So what's good?"

As soon as I ask a question, my sister pours out weird terms.

They were all perfume names, but to me, who was not familiar with the area, it just sounded like a weird term.

“…Leave a text message.”

- Okioki.

Finally got it back in text.

There are a total of twelve candidates.

What Lieutenant Young So-jin might like... Okay, I'll leave this to my senses.

"thank you. come again."

"Yes. work hard."

late evening.

I stopped by a department store near the base to buy clothes for Seong Da-kyung and perfume for Lieutenant Young So-jin.

And first, I met Seong Da-kyung.

“Oh my gosh! what is this?"

"Gift."

"Gift?"

“It’s your birthday soon. I think I won't be able to take care of you because of training, so I'm going to give it to you now."

"really? Thanks, baby!”

Seong Da-kyung hugs me.

And she pours kisses on her cheeks like a stamp.

“Stop it and open your gift right away.”

“Heh, I see.”

Seong Da-kyung's hands are busily tearing open the packaging.

Soon, a dress with water droplets on it and a blouse with white tones are in their hands.

you should like it

"Wow! So pretty!"

Fortunately, he seems to like it.

I look right into my body.

"how? matches well?"

"uh. They fit perfectly.”

"Hi-Hi."

Seeing what I like makes me feel better.

Lieutenant Young So-jin visited the next day.

Just in time for you in the office.

“Sergeant Major.”

“Yes, Dojin-ah.”

“I have something to give you.”

"What?"

I brought out the prepared gift.

As soon as he took it out, Lieutenant Young So-jin's eyes turned round.

"what's this?"

“It’s your birthday soon. I prepared a small gift for you.”

"Yes? No, no. Why did you buy it?”

Lieutenant Young So-jin looks at me with a puzzled face.

Of course, I expected this to happen.

“There are things that you have helped me in the past, and I am giving it to you. If you don’t accept it, I’m rather sad.”

“Ah, no… that, but this…”

“Hurry up, platoon commander.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin finally accepts the gift.

“Thank you, Dojin-ah.”

"no. Release it immediately.”

"Huh."

One by one the packaging is peeled off.

Contents will be revealed soon.

little perfume.

Lieutenant Young So-jin's eyes turn round again.

His mouth is also slightly open.

“Perfume?”"Yes. I don't know if you'll like it."

“I like it so much.”

“Hey, you haven’t even sprayed it yet.”

"Nope. I like this.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin goes to his seat and goes through something.

it's a bag

Then he takes a small bottle out of it and shakes it towards me.

Uh... that...

“How is it, is it the same?”

"Ugh."

“How did you know my taste? I like it to look like it was lightly sprinkled like this.”

The nominees were chosen by my sister.

But it was purely my sense that I picked only one from there.

It could be the same as the one you used.

that's interesting.

"Thank you so much. I was just about to go out and buy it.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin smiles brightly. Putting the perfume I gave you into your arms.

Then he opens the desk drawer.

Soon, a small, square, beautifully packaged box comes out of her hand.

what is that

"ruler."

hand it over to me

“Uh… what is this?”

“I’m a present too.”

“A gift?”

“I couldn’t give it to you. Take it first.”

Can't you give it to me?

I don't know what it is, but I accepted it.

When I opened it, it was a wallet.

A wallet that looks very luxurious even to those who do not know much about luxury goods.

Wow.

"it's okay?"

“Wow, I really like it.”

“Isn’t that just a word?”

"no. I really like it.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin breathes a sigh of relief when he sees the face he likes and trembles with fuss.

"that is great. It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot.”

“Haha, me too, we sniped each other’s tastes.”

"Yeah."

We looked at each other and laughed for a while.

No, by the way.

Let me ask you about that.

“But platoon commander.”

"Huh."

“What do you mean by giving and not giving? I still have half a year left before my birthday.”

“Ah, that’s…”

Lieutenant Young So-jin hesitated a bit and said.

“It’s not this year’s birthday… it’s last year’s birthday. I couldn't give you something like that. I’m happy to be able to give it to you now.”

***

Joint operation of other units.

Now it's right in front of you.

The preparation was very well done.

“Everyone is fine! Let's just go like this!”

"Yes!"

As the training went on, it became much easier to command the soldiers.

The soldiers also follow me better.

Personally, of course.

I also raised the stat level one by one.

Skill proficiency was also raised throughout.

I don't know if it will help, but I'm mentally strong enough to fight any monster right away.

It's all gone, even if it's just the sword.

Kwak-!

When I first made it, the maintenance time was very short, but now I can afford it.

Enough to keep using it for a couple of hours.

The amount and concentration of mana was also much better than before.

Of course nonetheless.

I've caught a few monsters, but I've never used them properly in practice.

But it came quickly.

“Make sure everyone is alert. This is not training. Literally, it's an operation. It is also a joint operation with other units. So, once again, I try to keep my spirits up.”

"Yes!"

“When you’re ready, let’s go.”

It's time to put it to good use in practice.
