I Returned, But My Power is the Same

At the top of the paperwork was written:

Special promotion target in 2042.

This is not a letter of recommendation or application.

On one side, the division commander and commander, as well as the seal of the Hunter Chief of Staff, are stamped.

“… … !”

He looked at it with his mouth wide open.

It was because the very familiar name was engraved on the bottom part.

# 111th Regiment 1st Battalion Lieutenant Dojin Choi

it was my name

I was given a special promotion to lieutenant.

What the hell happened?

“This time, the Commander-in-Chief got some breath.”

“The commander… … ?”

"Huh. I didn't know last time, but this time I'm sure. Dojin, because you rise to the rank of lieutenant.”

Another Commander-in-Chief, Kyung-pil Yoo.

I didn't know you would care so much.

“But if it wasn’t for Commander-nim, he wouldn’t have mattered too much.”

It's not anyone else, it's the commander, so it wouldn't matter much?

What else is this?

“Isn’t that enough for anyone to see?”

Lieutenant Young So-jin puts another document in front of me.

There were a total of five chapters, and all the achievements from when I was commissioned as a second lieutenant were summarized.

“From his individual combat abilities to his ability to command soldiers, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.”

"Ugh… … .”

“Anyway, congratulations, Dojin-ah.”

be stunned

It's like a dream because I can't be surprised.

Really?

Are you really going to be a lieutenant?

It's been half a year since I got the so-called ticket.

Even including the training period for officers, it is only 9 months.

But you're already a lieutenant.

He worked hard.

Aside from performance, I worked really hard to live in the training room every day after work.

Because of that, Seong Da-kyung has been fighting dozens of times.

But nonetheless.

I didn't know it would go this fast though.

I think this is all...

“Thank you, platoon commander.”

It's Lieutenant Young So-jin.

"Huh?"

“I think it’s thanks to the platoon commander.”

“No, it’s because of me. Dojin, you did a good job.”

The results I have built.

I also did training.

However, the driving force that was able to do so was only from Lieutenant Young So-jin.

The ability to command soldiers.

And the ability to manipulate mana.

Because I learned everything from Lieutenant Young So-jin.

What if it wasn't for Lieutenant Young So-jin?

The ability to command soldiers must have been learned somehow.

However, the ability to handle mana must have been still struggling.

Considering my condition at the time, it was obvious that I didn't even look at it.

“How many things did the platoon commander tell you? I will never forget this grace.”

“You really… Instead, don’t say things like I’ll pay you back like before.”

"Yes."

He grinned and shook her head.

Lieutenant Young So-jin looks at me like that and smiles. Then he said.

“But we became real friends.”

"Yes? Oh no. You did it last time.”“I only submitted the application last time, but now it’s confirmed. Look, it’s even stamped with the Chief of Staff’s signature like this.”

“Still, that’s a bit… … .”

“Why?”

Lieutenant Young So-jin smiles sinisterly.

“Sojin-ah, say it.”

“… … .”

“I want to hear you talk nonsense to me.”

It's been like that for a while, but now I feel it a lot more. playing a joke on me

ahhh

No matter how it is, he is a person who has been seen as a senior for nearly 12 years before his return.

friend

Sojin-ah, Lani.

That's nonsense.

“Loyalty! Let's go first!”

I didn't know what would happen if I stayed any longer, so I ran away.

* * *

― Special promotion to lieutenant?!

He was the first to tell his family.

I hear applause over my phone.

“Yes, that’s it.”

― I don't know much about the world over there, but can a promotion really happen that quickly? No matter how special the promotion is.

“It wasn’t always this fast. But I think I got some recognition after accumulating a lot of performance.”

- Ho ho ho, right? Great, my son!

“Haha, thank you.”

― If you have time, go home... no. Make sure you get the date right.

"why?"

― Why, you invite your relatives and locals to hold a party.

“Child, really. You did it once last time.”

―At that time, you were commissioned, and now you are getting a special promotion.

couldn't dry it.

Her mother was already urging her father, 'Call me, call me!'

Great, I didn't mean to do this.

But how happy are you?

Just think of filial piety.

“Special promotion to lieutenant?!”

Seong Da-kyung also showed the same reaction as her parents.

She said it through her face, not the phone, so she could see the reaction with her own eyes.

“Awesome great!”

When she speaks to her, she has a cold wind and a face that looks like it's going to blow, and she jumps and jumps like a frog.

Then she flirted with her for a while.

“Not the first, the first? A lieutenant sweet like you so quickly? Wait, how long exactly did it take? Because the officer training was completed around June... Wow! So you've been sweet after half a year?"

“Is that so?”

“Awesome great!”

In a short time, the sound of the jackpot came out four times.

Of course, there has been a lot more since then.

it was good for me

I welcome you as if it were your job.

“… Are you… … .”

The same was true for her squad members.

However, their reaction was slightly different.

I congratulated her, but her face was all frozen.

I wondered why...

“Now then, are you going to break up with the deputy commander?”

Of course, as you rise to the rank of lieutenant, the position changes.

The deputy platoon commander is only assigned to lieutenants or sergeants.

She was worried about it.

“Um, right?”

“… … .”

"do not worry. Whether I become a platoon commander or an advisor, I will visit you often.”

“… Can't you go to another company or a different unit altogether?"

That can't be.

Consider the case of Captain Kwak Sang-gi or Lieutenant Young So-jin.

"Nope. It will remain in our company.”

"Is that true?"

"then."

“After all, I’m glad.”

The squad members' faces brightened at that moment.

guys really.

I barely held back my tears.

“Loyalty.”

At that moment, the dormitory door opened and a soldier entered.

one stick.

ill.

But not a newbie.

Hunter is a guy who ate only Jjambap for years.

But why are you sick?

“Oh, Oh Cheol.”

This is Kim Oh-cheol.

A few months ago, due to the Caruso incident, he was disciplined with a month of military training and demotion by one rank.

So that's how I ended up putting on this disease label.

“You got a special promotion… Congratulations."

“Yes, thank you.”

For some reason, I made a congratulatory sound, but her expression was hardened as if she had chewed something wrong.

It could be said that it was an expression of mixed emotions.

At that time, he felt it when he enlisted at the Military Training College, but he probably didn't think much of it.

The guy who Ji was meditating by looking at the wall wasn't enough to become an executive, so he put him down to a lieutenant.

If you want to, you can immediately get yourself down here!

But he doesn't want to.

Because you don't want to be the same guy?

Other than that, I just don't have much to worry about now.

Oh-cheol Kim and I are in completely different positions now.

* * *

“I order first-class special promotion to Second Lieutenant Choi Do-jin. Captain of the Hunter Chief of Staff, Admiral Baek Eui-cheon.”

December 24, Christmas Eve.

I climbed into the four heats of the parade ground.

"Congratulations."

“Lieutenant Dojin Choi! thank you!"

“Yes, I hope you will continue to fight hard for the country, citizens, and families.”

"Yes!"

The battalion commander gives you a plaque.

It's a special promotion, not a general promotion, so it looks like there's a plaque like this.

by the way.

It's a situation I've already experienced several times, such as when I was in the city gate, when I was commissioned as a second lieutenant, etc.

tremble again

Even if it's the Great Admiral, isn't it because Hunter Chief of Staff gives it to you?

“To the battalion commander, salute.”

Hua Hua calmed his chest and raised his hand.

“Loyalty!”

Thunderous applause pours from under the podium.

This has happened many times, too, but my heart is beating louder than it has just been.

Suddenly I wonder

A lieutenant is like this, but what if he had a captain?

And what about the top?

I tremble just thinking about it, but I want to feel it right away.

It's not a bad shake, it's a good shake.

Really so good trembling.

“I won, what have you done, lieutenant already?”

Everyone congratulates them, but some complained.

Captain Kwak Sang-gi was one of the dogs.

“Are you, Commander-in-Chief, holding on to any great strings?”

that's a great line

fact is true

There is a connection with Commander Gyung-pil Yoo and Division Commander Jeon Kwan-young.

But the line only shortens.If performance and skills are not supported, it means nothing.

And in the first place, Captain Kwak Sang-gi holds the line tighter.

Hunter Academy's network alone would make him one more truck than me.

“Hmm, I know that the company commander is also holding some strings... Get on that line. Oh, before that, build up your skills first. If you don’t have the skills, you have to catch a good line only for cancer, right?”

“What, what man?”

Although Captain Kwak Sang-gi is in cancer, a senior is still a senior.

If you go out like this, you will all come back, but I have a corner you can trust.

“Hey, 1st company commander.”

“Loyalty! Yes, battalion commander!”

“When I see you alone, it seems that Dojin craves too much. Is it my mistake?”

“Oh no!”

“Be nice to you, be nice to you.”

“Oh, I see!”

Hwang Dae-man.

The promotion to colonel has already been confirmed.

As long as I have him on my side, at least one captain isn't that scary.

“Hey, fuck… … .”

“Then let’s go. Loyalty.”

As the battalion commander disappears, Captain Kwak Sang-gi mumbles six letters.

I smiled and got out of my seat.

Anyway.

As of today, I have been wearing two diamonds.

It was the best Christmas present.

“Where did that friend say he was going?”

Capital Defense Hunter Command's Commander's Office.

During a staff meeting, there was talk of an officer.

“You mean Lieutenant Choi Do-jin, no, Lieutenant Choi Do-jin?”

"okay."

“They say they are going to the same company as a platoon commander.”

“It’s a platoon commander. right. A decent person should be the platoon leader.”

Commander Gyungpil Yoo smiled satisfied.

“Now I’m going to be a more officer-like officer.”

“It’s an insult, but don’t you think Lieutenant Choi Do-jin is too good?”

The staff member cautiously intervened.

“Yeah, you must be a soldier.”

“That sound was only valid until a few months ago.”

"Yes?"

“When you have time, look at that friend’s report card. I can't use the word 'from a soldier' ​​anymore."

“… … .”

“But I think you’ve been saying that for a long time. Now, stop that prejudice.”

"greatness… all right."

“I mean.”

Commander Gyung-pil Yoo said while looking at each staff member, including the personnel staff.

“It’s rather unfortunate right now. I can’t have such a talented person right under me.”

“… … .”

“I would like to take it by force, but is it possible? That friend must have a will in her own way.”

“… … .”

“Of course, you can’t just keep it inside a narrow fence.”

At the word “narrow fence”, the operations staff responded this time.

“Then what are you going to do?”

"I'll keep the job as platoon leader, but I'll have to do something else from time to time."

“If you do something else… … ?”

“It’s like this.”

Commander Gyungpil Yoo's hand pointed to one of the agenda items from today's meeting.

Then the staff immediately protested.

“Are you talking about that? It was a difficult task for even hunters who said that they flew. Don't you know better, Commander?"

“So, I’m going to do it.”

"Yes?"

Commander Gyungpil Yoo's eyes lit up.

And soon, a voice full of conviction followed.

“I think that friend will do well.”
