I Returned, But My Power is the Same

“Congratulations.”

“… … thank you!"

When he woke up, there were already three medals hanging around his neck.

There seems to be a name for each, but I can't remember.

I'm so crazy right now

“Korea will be happy. Because we have talented people like Major Dojin Choi.”

The President of Russia pats me on the shoulder with a handshake.

To receive such congratulations and praise from the head of a country.

more distracted

“Loyalty!”

I turned back and saluted.

pouring applause.

A lot of crews look at me and clap their hands like that.

I don't think I've ever had a heart so hot in my life.

just good

“Major Dojin Choi, a member of Team Black Wing of the Korean Special Warfare Command, is one of the hunters who made the most breakthrough in this White Field conquest. Once again, we ask for your generous applause.”

Applause followed once again at the speaker's words.

The Black Wing team members are shouting until hurray and shaking hands.

When I go back to Korea, I'll have to shoot properly.

Clap clap-!

Clap clap-!

Clap clap-!

A sound that sounds sweeter than any other medley.

Is this what it feels like to be heartbroken?

The corners of my mouth are curled up and I can't get it to get stuck in my ears.

It's such a happy moment.

* * *

"Wow! If you include the ones you received in Korea, you have a total of five, right?”

“Ugh, as expected, our team leader!”

“Isn’t it rare among generals to receive five medals? No matter how mixed it is with what I received from other countries.”

“Have you seen the internet? There is a lot of uproar about the manager right now, uproar!”

“If there are five medals… … Team leader, there might be some good news when you return to Korea?”

After the funeral ceremony and the victory ceremony.

After a long life in Russia, I finally returned to Korea.

An airship was flying to take us in the distance.

“Haha, everyone calm down.”

The Black Wing team members have been arguing like this since before, no, from the moment I received three medals at the victory ceremony.

You seem to be more excited than me.

Of course, that's something to be grateful for.

To make you happy like your own work.

So I also want to pass the ball I got here to my teammates.

“I was able to receive it because you were there. It’s not something I did well.”

“Because our team leader is so good-natured that it’s a mask.”

“That’s it. At times like this, you can slurp a little and do that.”

"Yes. It doesn't make any sense to say that everyone left and blocked the Smoke Breath."

“Kya, the one that blocked the Smoke Breath really killed me. Mochi in front to protect us! and take it.”

“If it wasn’t for the team leader, we wouldn’t be able to stand here now.”

I want to turn it around, but it doesn't give me a chance to do so.

hmmm.

I coughed in vain and changed the topic.

“Are you all okay?”

"sure!"

“They say I will have to go back and be hospitalized for a few more days, but I think I will get better soon.”“I have no problem.”

Starting with Sergeant Min-tae Han, Sgt. Kim Woo-jong and Sergeant Jeong Jin-guk, and other team members answer in turn.

Captain Young So-jin was also smiling.

“Now everything is fine.”

thank God.

What if there was any problem?

“Are you the manager?”

“I’m fine too. Uh, the airship has arrived.”

An airship landing on the ground with a loud noise.

It's already been 4 months and over a fortnight since I came here on that ride.

Time is so fast.

If I go back to Korea and do various things, another few months will pass.

Then I'll come next year.

"Thank you."

"thank you."

The Russian Hunter Army also came out to see me off.

There were quite a few

This is because other countries also board airships in the vicinity.

So, Lieutenant General Alithef was among the personnel.

“I will never forget what Major Choi did here.”

It's not because of me, but the thought of being seen off by Three Stars makes my heart flutter.

“Loyalty!”

“Yes, yes. go well.”

I saluted and finally boarded the airship.

Four medals wiggled from his neck.

If there is anything to remember about the White Field conquest in the future, I think you can just look at these four medals.

The airship soon departed.

Now, back to Korea.

* * *

"Ah! It's coming over there!"

A landing site located on the other side of the Hunter Headquarters.

The atmosphere there was as hot as when we had just returned to our garrison after finishing the Whitefield conquest.

Reporters from various media outlets.

Hunter headquarters staff.

Secretary Hunter and related lawmakers.

A military band that sounds fanfare.

Thousands of soldiers and executives lined up on either side to applaud.

and the supporters' families.

Could there be a more grandiose reception than this?

'father! Mother! sister!'

‘My son!’

‘Do Jin-ah!’

I found Yongke's parents and older sister at a glance.

My parents were waving to me where the volunteers' families were gathering, and my sister was waving at me where the reporters were standing.

Contact was made right from the start.

After finishing the White Field conquest, I did it twelve more times a day.

But is there any comparison between meeting with your voice and seeing you in real life?

Your eyes will soon become cold.

You don't know how much I missed those faces.

under!

I'm here!

“These are our proud Korean hunters who saved Russia from crisis and raised the status of Korea!”

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

A feast of endless shouts.

It was a situation I had already experienced several times from Russia, but it was still good.

And it took four months.

So, shouldn't the congratulations last that long?

So that's the right balance.

I looked at the front with a futile thought.

The interview was already in full swing.

“Tell me something as a commander!”

“Haha, I don’t have much to say. What I did in the Whitefield Conquest was simply to lead the reinforcements to Russia.”

As a commander, the focus was on Brigadier General Lee Jong-gu, but he resolutely waved his hand.

Then he pointed out one person.

“There is one officer who has received as many as four medals on this mission. Listen to that officer.”

it was me

At the same time, a number of cameras were illuminating me.

Actually, it's been like that before.

Dozens of people had gathered and pointed the microphone at me.

However, when Brigadier General Lee Jong-goo pointed at me and pointed me out, the enthusiasm intensified.

There were so many cameras that I didn't know where to look.

“Major Dojin Choi! You did a great job on this mission! Please say something to him!”

Then, a pleasant sound is heard.

it was my sister

I was then able to open my mouth.

“… … I want to tell you. In the end, everyone did well and I didn’t do anything special.”

The answer is the same as what I said to the Black Wing team members, with only a few changes.

I'm not trying to be humble because it's a public position.

I just said this because I really think so.

What stopped Smoke's breath?

What opened up the new inspection day?

It would never have been possible if my comrades hadn't been with me.

If I had been alone, it would have been difficult for me to save my life, let alone stop Smoke's breath and open the new sword union.

“Due to his active work on this mission, the future of Major Dojin Choi is paying attention! What do you think of that!”

future occupancy.

The mission success is also a success, and it seems like he is reporting that he will not stay in the Black Wing because he has received four medals and has accumulated an enormous amount of achievements.

“I have nothing to say about that.”

Of course I have nothing to say.

Aside from the fact that nothing has been decided yet, this is because it is not something I would say this or that in the first place.

"How you doing?"

"Of course we've been fine! your son?”

I just finished the interview and met my parents.

My mother hugged me right away, and my father followed me into my arms.

Mother, even if that is the case, my father is a person who doesn't usually express himself like this.

He must have been away for a long time.

Of course, as soon as I saw them, I fell into their arms.

“Jjajjak, is it pretty?”

“Thank you, sister.”

Because of filming, I was able to meet her for a short time.

He tapped my shoulder and said playfully, but I felt it all.

No, I saw it all.

Tears welling up in the corners of my eyes.

“Let’s talk again later.”

“Oh, see you then.”

It's a pity, but it's unavoidable.

Leaving behind her older sister who returned to her seat, she continued meeting with her parents.

There was too much to talk about, so it was a mask.

Because this mission was truly spectacular.

* * *After the reception ceremony, there were many seats.

Hunter headquarters staff, members of the Hunter Department, and additional media interviews.

Of course, it was not only me, but all the hunters who participated in the reinforcements.

“Hahaha, thanks to Major Choi, the position of our Korean Hunter Army has been greatly improved.”

“I am very grateful to Major Choi as Minister on this mission.”

There are only a few people who have met the Chief of Staff Hunter and even the Deputy Secretary Hunter like me.

It was only after those events were completed that we could return to our unit.

Special Warfare Command.

It was truly a gold rush.

All the troops gathered at the Grand Regiment to greet them.

There was only one Black Wing team involved in this mission in our unit.

In other words, this place is reserved exclusively for Black Wings.

And I knew.

Why did the reporters talk about 'future' at the reception?

“I order all of the Black Wings to receive a first-class special promotion.”

1st class special.

Literally.

The rank will rise from major to lieutenant colonel.

I had already experienced special promotion when I was in the military.

But that and this are completely different matters.

A lieutenant colonel is in a position to operate one battalion.

Hundreds of his subordinates alone.

It is different from drawing one more stick.

"Congratulations."

Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil held his hand.

A new insignia was already hung on his chest.

Two bamboo flowers.

It was only five months ago that he became a major from a major (Jin), but he became a lieutenant colonel in an instant.

now it's close

The dream that I nurtured before returning, and which I had grown even bigger after returning, is now closer.

to star.

If you keep going like this, you can definitely achieve it.

“Loyalty!”

know.

The fact that we have only gotten closer in class, but in reality there is still a long way to go.

But the possibilities have definitely increased.

“I look forward to seeing you in the future.”

"Yes!"

You just have to work as hard as you do now so that that possibility bears good results.

You have to run hard.

The sky I looked up at suddenly was clear without a single speck.

The sun was hotter than ever.

I didn't know it well because I was only in the vicinity of White Field, but it is already summer in Korea.

Normally, it would have been hot and I would have shook my head.

It's nice to have a day like this today.

Isn't it a bit like when the surroundings are dull at a good moment?

He smiled and got off his seat.

The smiles on the faces of the team members did not stop.

Yarn from the boss.

As a non-commissioned officer, you have ascended to the highest position you can rise to, so how great is that joy.

Captain Young So-jin, no, Major Young So-jin was the same.

She, too, has now become a consul from a consulate.

She looked up at the sky again and vowed.

I will continue to paint such a brilliant future together with our team members.

and… … I'm sure my dream will come true
