When she first discovered her talent, she was secretly disappointed.

Since awakening can happen to anyone, and for some it is a phenomenon that may never be experienced in their lifetime, she also imagined a time when her talent was awakened.

And in that imagination, she had always been the owner of a simple, intuitive and powerful talent such as physical strength.

Tell me what to do.

Her usual motto was ‘Simple is best’.

In that respect, there was nothing that fit her values more closely than the talent to strengthen her body.

However, what I was able to obtain through the luck of awakening was a somewhat ambiguous talent called sense amplification.

Just becoming an Awakened person could be said to be a huge blessing, but despite this, she felt disappointed inside.

Being able to amplify certain senses at will was certainly a great thing, but it was a bit far from the simple and intuitive talent she had hoped for.

Plus… it didn’t seem particularly powerful.

Let alone acting as a drug detection dog in places like airports, what would they do if their sense of smell were amplified?

When attacked by monsters, going to the goal is not much different from that of ordinary people.

Through the awakening process, she gained superior physical abilities compared to ordinary people, but compared to the commonly referred to physically awakened people, she was just an ordinary person.

So I couldn’t hide my disappointment…

It was during my first real match that I realized that it was not something to just be disappointed about.

Was it because, for the first time in my life, I had to face a monster head-on?

She ignored the instructor’s instructions to remain calm and showed off her talents to the best of her ability.

And thanks to this, in the feast of information sent by infinitely amplified senses… she was able to know instinctively.

The easiest way to deal with the ‘enemy’ that is right in front of you.

It didn’t feel like the ability to see through the other person’s weaknesses.

Rather, it was much closer to the feeling of predicting what would happen a few seconds later.

What was important was that its accuracy was almost equivalent to foresight.

Predictions close to foresight.

That ability, which could truly be called a supernatural ability, raised her to the top of the monster-fighting unit in a short period of time… That’s why she trusted that ability more than anything else.

In that way, the sense that had given her several experiences of success was speaking.

If Samuel had taken a couple more steps, he would have fallen face down on the floor of the training ground.

‘What is this man…?’

Who has she dealt with so far?

It failed to show more than three ‘predicted results’.

In other words, it was possible to ‘predict’ no matter who the opponent was.

But this…

‘I can’t see it.’

There were no ‘predicted results’ to be derived from the man, as if his abilities had suddenly disappeared.

The ‘result’ of Samuel falling forward due to something was clearly observed, but nothing was observed on the part of the man who was very likely to be that something.

So… it was creepy.

When I came to my senses, goosebumps spread through my body, as if I had just witnessed a sharp knife hanging under my chin, or perhaps even worse.

“Yes? But you heard what this arrogant bastard was saying.”

“···I clearly told you to stop.”

Even if I suddenly encountered a monster like the boss of a crack, I wouldn’t feel so wary and fearful.

But Samuel didn’t even know that and was climbing up and down…

“···There were many rude examples. Because my subordinate is very hot-tempered.”

“No, thanks to you, I was able to think about the old days for the first time in a while and it was nice. What.”

Thinking about the past…?

What kind of life have you been living?

Like most Americans, she fell into the category of people who find it difficult to tell the age of Asians.

It wasn’t a racist remark, it was the truth.

And looking through her eyes, the man who was still smiling heartily looked like he was in his late teens at best.

However, even when faced with the threat of Samuel, who had the bloodiest appearance among her subordinates, she did not even blink an eye and instead smiled as if it was fun.

If I hadn’t amplified my senses from the beginning to find out what kind of person they were and whether they were worthy of making them come this far, I would have definitely thought it was a bluff.

‘The superiors did not give such an order because they doubted this man’s abilities.’

I didn’t want to find out whether the other person was a fraudster or not, but I wanted to check the ‘limits’.

That’s why I gave those instructions to her and other crew members this morning.

“Just looking at it, it looks like everyone is very dissatisfied with me… How about giving it a try?”

“How?”

“Going classic.”

Let’s not use our talents or anything like that, but let’s stick together body-to-body like a man.

“Ah, I guess the expression ‘manly’ is a bit harsh.”

I don’t know why I keep laughing, but my reaction is that it looks like it’s going to be really fun.

Looking at the reaction, I was very reluctant to accept the offer… but it was also a bit difficult to refuse it.

It wasn’t just because of instructions from superiors to test the man’s abilities.

Perhaps because they thought they were being looked down on, the reactions of their subordinates showed them with very proud faces.

“···No, no. Let’s do as they say.”

“You’re so refreshing.”

“If you want something like an advantage-”

“Wait a minute, it’s an advantage, right? Isn’t it a penalty?”

“Yes?”

“No, I don’t know if it means using talent, but I was wondering if it was really necessary since it only comes from physical strength.”

A provocative smile.

I sighed inwardly at that smile, which no one could tell was deliberately faked.

It seemed like we weren’t the only ones who were stimulated by the other person’s attitude.

To be honest, I thought it went well.

I already wanted to check the performance of the enhanced body, and it seemed like they would be a very good test partner.

‘Wow, look at yourself.’

Are the US military providing steroid injections or something like that?

After all, it is Cheonjo-guk.

Although I said that right away, the bodies of the US military hunters that I can see now are different from the fake muscles that were forcibly pumped with the help of drugs.

As you can see, the sharply split muscles are muscles that have been thoroughly developed through actual combat.

Do you have the right to say such things when you have borrowed the power of an app that is more fraudulent than drugs?

If you’re curious, why don’t you become a Link app user like me?

And what more-

‘It’s the same for me as a practical muscle.’

Does Korea’s Heon Jun-saeng look like a dick?

“The sparring order is…”

“You decide the order yourself. If you have a hard time deciding, you can try it as a group.”

Anyway, that was why I went out in a slightly overly provocative manner.

I’m trying to test the performance of my body that has changed through sparring with them, but wouldn’t it be a shame if the sparring ended too dullly?

“···What are you thinking about as a rule?”

“Let’s keep it simple. If you go down even once, you lose.”

Are you saying there are no rules other than that?

This meant that almost everything was allowed.

Aren’t there things like lateral kicks, elbow cuts, etc. that are usually strictly prohibited in martial arts venues?

Did he immediately sense the inner meaning contained in my words?

The eyes of some of the guys who were gritting their teeth to try to do something to me had a sinister gleam in their eyes.

The way he looked at me was so sinister that it seemed like he was ready to kick the butt, which is a taboo among men.

‘these guys···.’

I have seen your faces.

While I was storing up in my mind the characteristics of those who gave me that meaningful look, one person walked out among the people who were busily doing something, such as rolling up the sleeves of the military uniform they were wearing.

It was a blond guy who had been arguing with me earlier, but was interrupted by his superior, a woman, and had no choice but to back away.

“Hmm…”

“Why? Do you think you’re scared because you’re trying to get along? Like chicken.”

“No, not that.”

“···?”

“Well… I thought it was obvious.”

Judging by his temperament, I thought he might jump out with the first blow the moment the plate was laid, but I never thought it would actually happen.

“The monster might be smarter at this level…”

“This bastard…!”

Tak!

The sound of a strong kick to the ground was followed by the guy striking a boxing pose.

‘Was he a boxer? No, this is-‘

“I fell behind—!”

From boxing stance to tackle.

The guy who naturally changed his posture stretched out his thick arms towards me.

As if he was going to pin me to the ground like this.
