16.

Lee Seong-han hates military life.

-Bambapabam───!

– Ah, this is an announcement from the administrative office. The current time is 06:30. Please wake up all troops. Due to the heavy snowfall today, roll call will be held indoors.

“Sigh. Are we just going to let it pass today?”

I heard a sigh of relief from the side.

Beep─

-······Hook hook, this is an announcement from the administrative office. Due to the heavy snowfall today, we will skip the morning roll call and ask all company personnel to gather at the parade ground after putting on their winter gear for snow removal operations. This includes awakened soldiers.

‘Fuck.’

My sweet sleep was taken away from me.

A headache came on immediately.

The outside of the window was pure white. Just like Lee Seong-han’s feelings right now. It was snowing heavily at that level.

-Uh, the commander on duty today has given a special order. We will proceed with today’s work as normal after the snow removal, so please make sure you don’t miss any equipment.

From the women’s barracks, thick curses could be heard.

“Hey. Which torturer whistled when he didn’t even have time? You’re going to get screwed.”

“It’s sad that I couldn’t properly spend my military Christmas. I’m going to get screwed. Hey! Bring out the green jacket and ski parka.”

Lee Seong-han also reluctantly got up awkwardly.

Because a soldier is a soldier.

“Ah, should I apply for a dispatch job?”

Beep─

A noise that rings through the speakers just before a broadcast.

What is it now?

Lee Seong-han scratched the back of his head as if he was now displeased.

-Hook hook, this is a broadcast from the administrative office. Lee Seong-han. Please move to the administrative office immediately to implement the awakening soldier dispatch system.

It was Lee Seong-han’s first happy moment as an awakened being.

“It’s been a while.”

“React calmly. React calmly. As if nothing happened. Now, smile slowly.”

Until I met Mr. Mo of Namsan.

Awakening soldier dispatch system.

This refers to the work of military service members collaborating with other organizations.

“Oh, good morning.”

“… … .”

“Why are you opening your eyes so wide? I’m the only one who can call Mr. Seonghan. Do you want some coffee?”

Kang Jin-young was licking a can of coffee with a crescent moon shape on his lips.

At first, someone did it by wearing an Eskimo padding.

“Eeeeek. I thought I was going to die from all that writing. Except for the recent sudden worsening of my herniated disc. I’m quite satisfied!”

“What happened a week ago?”

“Is this the Capital Hospital?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I heard that the report was sent up… … I’m currently investigating the situation. It’s such a ridiculous story. I’ve heard that I tried to do something terrible. But I don’t remember.”

There’s no way I don’t remember. That woman’s statement was a lie.

“I called you like this because of official business, but I’ll explain it later.”

I went out into the hallway to avoid the cold stares of the administrative officers.

“Shall we walk for now? My sister will be arriving soon.”

“Isn’t there a hearing? Because of the Capital Hospital Gate.”

“Is it WWE?”

“WWE?”

“Ah, Seonghan-ssi, don’t you play games? I mean, it’s a rigged game of Go-Stop. If you punish him, there’ll be a huge backlash. It’s not for nothing that he’s called the idol of the battlefield.”

Lee Seong-han nodded.

The gate to the Armed Forces Capital Hospital was closed.

No one died. This is a really rare case.

Kang Jin-young laid a bridge for words.

“Neither I nor my sister remember. But what crime would you blame us for? Even Seonghan said the same thing.”

I tilted my head. She wasn’t usually this calm of a woman.

If you open your mouth, isn’t 90% of what you say a lie and 10% of what you say an accidental remark?

Kang Jin-young’s dark psychology always worked. I could hear the voice inside me like a snake. She was such an easy woman to understand.

“Tch. What should I do if I remember everything? What on earth did Kang Jin-young do in the past! What on earth?!?”

The wait didn’t last long, because Kang Mi-young was walking down the hallway.

Kang Mi-young waved her hand lightly from the end of the hallway.

“Ah, you’re awake.”

“Loyalty!”

“Loyalty. You came right after hearing the broadcast. Did you wake up early?”

A fluffy navy blue sweater.

The tight-fitting jeans accentuated her figure. Her legs were long and slender like a model’s, and she looked like a pictorial in anything she wore.

“No, I just got here too.”

Lee Seong-han answered briefly.

“Did you hear an explanation of today’s official duties in advance?”

“Yes, I heard from the company commander that I need to renew my license information.”

“Yes. In this operation, I am… … .”

Kang Mi-young glanced at Kang Jin-young.

Just looking at her expression, it was like, “What the hell are you talking about?” Her face was like that. Kang Mi-young’s mouth kept spitting out words without stopping.

“Kang Jin-young is accompanying you. You may not like it, but I hope you understand.”

The sisters looked at each other. Lee Seong-han hesitated backwards to avoid being struck by a spark.

A volcano that looks like it might explode if anyone touches it.

The atmosphere itself is like a sheet of thin ice.

I was cautious about bringing it up.

“What? Weren’t you unable to come because of the hearing?”

“You would dare to use trickery to steal the best talent in the Republic of Korea Army?”

Now there are two voices that can be heard. This is a damn ability, too. Lee Seonghan thought it would be nice if there was a mute function.

[You can apply it by assigning some of the ‘Auto Battle’.]

‘how much?’

[As it allocates at a rate of 0.02kb per second, it takes 39 years and 117 days to produce.]

I decided to just hit him.

* * *

korea.

The Hunter Association is famous for having the tallest building in Seoul.

“It’s really wide?”

“That’s right. It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”

Kang Jin-young answered questions and guided the way. The atmosphere felt different, like that of the best hunter organization in South Korea.

The lobby in particular was so crowded that it reminded me of a market.

Hunters seeking a party.

A manufacturing workshop.

Even overseas buyers.

Lee Seong-han swallowed dry saliva.

This kind of atmosphere was a first.

Was it like this when you were taken away right after awakening?

“By the way, shouldn’t we wait for the Major?”

“It’ll take a few more hours. Look at the crowd. My sister’s personality is such that she’ll take them all in one by one. Let’s go first!”

Kang Jin-nyeong shrugged and pointed to the glass front door. A crowd of people had gathered, forming a tangled wave.

Who would have thought that everyone would gather like this just to see Kang Mi-young? Lee Seong-han felt his throat burn. Well, it’s Kang Mi-young, so wouldn’t it be stranger not to know?

-Your Majesty······ I’m sorry. This is also tomorrow. Let’s proceed first.

The order was given to proceed with the issuance of the license. Only then did Lee Seong-han’s expression brighten.

“Since I was little, my sister has always been the center of attention. Her face, her beauty, her love. I didn’t like it.”

“Well… If I create a romantic mood, I can solidify my position. Sister, this is helpful at times like this.”

Kang Jin-young stood next to Lee Seong-han. He quickly linked arms with him.

“Huh?”

Kwaaak─

“Walk quietly.”

I would never miss it, that was my firm determination.

Kang Jin-young walked side by side with his feet together.

“Security work will continue as is.”

“Isn’t it too sticky?”

“Phew. These days, all security guards do this. Naturally, like lovers, like family. ”

There was a hint of laughter as he spoke.

“This is why it’s good to be dull~ I’m glad I don’t remember, really. Ah, it’s like a huge teddy bear.”

‘I’m not dull. Rather, I’m rather sharp. But your gaze is a bit sharp. Should I say something?’

Lee Seong-han chewed his lower lip.

I hope no one notices me.

“Excuse me, Agent.”

“Yes.”

“Please let this go for a bit.”

Kang Jin-young frowned.

“Would you like it?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay?”

“Oh, do you know what kind of place the 10th Bureau of the National Intelligence Service is?”

“Awakened person management.”

“That’s right. Awakened person management. Arms crossed, is this something you really care about? I’ll think about it when I write my job application. Let’s see, in my pocket.”

Lee Seong-han saw the rummaging scene and spoke hurriedly.

“I don’t do that.”

“You’re being annoying. You like it too. Do you hate being with a natural beauty like me?”

“You never know what they might do.”

“Seonghan-ssi also looks like a landmine man. What is that? Menhera?”

Lee Seong-han tried his best to shake it off, but there was no sign of it coming loose.

Did your abilities grow?

“Look at that. So weak.”

Lee Seong-han scratched the back of his head.

I remember it clearly.

I was trying to get a special job at the National Intelligence Service.

What about trying to cover it up? I don’t think it was intended to change perception. But in the end, it’s still difficult.

“Should I have come when it was a little quieter?”

“Where the hell are you lowlifes after my shit?”

Kang Jin-young said brightly.

He kept a wary eye on the surrounding area with a cold expression that contrasted with his expression.

Like a mother protecting her baby.

“Wow, look at that guy. Isn’t he handsome?”

“The woman saved the country in her past life. Kehehehe.”

Kang Jin-young was speechless.

“You’re still looking for him? What are you saying to the best elite agent in the Republic of Korea?”

I’ve never seen anything good happen when that condition persists.

Lee Seong-han spouted out sugar-coated words.

“I think Agent is pretty too. She’s very strong.”

“Ahahaha······ Don’t say nice things.”

Her face turned red as if she was embarrassed.

This is my first time receiving a compliment from a guy.

It was clear that this man was being nice but was being pushy.

“How can someone like me beat my sister? She’s an S-class.”

“Are you openly flirting with me?”

Kang Jin-young’s face brightened up.

Gulp. A faint gulp. He glanced at Lee Seong-han with his half-moon eyes.

“Well, it doesn’t seem like you had any bad intentions, so I’ll let it slide just this once.”

“Thank you.”

“No need to be thankful. It’s a given. Go ahead. Before I change my mind again.”

Lee Seong-han, who arrived at the reception desk safely(?), barely managed to escape the clutches.

Lee Seong-han put down several files on the reception desk.

“Hello. Are you here to get your license?”

A female employee with a bright face. She glanced at Lee Seong-han and smiled brightly.

“Yes, that’s right. Here’s this and this. I brought it because you said you needed additional information.”

“Just a moment. Please submit your identification documents to the front. I’ll find it for you right away.”

“Okay.”

Wait at the reception desk for a few minutes.

“I······ Hunter.”

The person in charge came back. He looked very nervous.

Lee Seong-han relaxed his stiff body.

“Do you have your license now? I need to submit my certificate quickly to shorten my discharge period by two months.”

“Sorry, there was an error during the issuance process.”

The employees who had been in good spirits until just now all looked like they were dying.

The employee bowed his head at a 90-degree angle.

“The president of the association wants to deliver it to you personally.”
