Rachel’s success turned the Pyeongtaek base, i.e. Camp Humphreys, upside down.

Of course it has to be that way.

They couldn’t treat me like a fraud because of what I showed them, but they must have been busy snorting to themselves when they heard me say that I could pass on my talents to others.

Didn’t you bring up Rahee and Juyeon as witnesses?

Well… Isn’t it such an absurd thing to believe with just a few witnesses?

And what’s more… Ra Hee-na and Ju-yeon, whom I brought forward as witnesses, were also people closely related to me.

Even when investigating crimes, aren’t there many cases where the testimony of those in a family relationship is not properly accepted?

So… they were pretending to believe me in order to completely recruit me to the US, but at the same time, they might have been thinking, ‘Ugh… they’re trying so hard to raise my price…’.

Yes, until this very moment.

As soon as the internal organ was safely formed inside Rachel’s body, I wasted no time in reporting the fact to the U.S. government.

Of course, I couldn’t do it directly, so I had to go through Amelia, who could be said to be in charge, and take a step forward… In any case, it was enough to get the news I wanted to get to the ears of the U.S. government.

And when the U.S. government heard the news I delivered, it responded so quickly that I was impressed.

The verification process began by mobilizing all available personnel immediately.

I guess I was trying to gain some discipline by doing that… but it didn’t bother me one bit.

That’s because if it ended up being a battle of facts, I had no choice but to be the one who won.

However, even for a country like that, it couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed when the commander of the base we were currently in charge of appeared on the mound.

No, it’s really no joke to go all the way to the stars when all you need to do is send medical staff.

“Captain Abraham.”

“Yes.”

“How do you feel? Personally, I’m curious about your thoughts.”

“···I don’t know if this expression is appropriate, but I feel like I was born again.”

“Hoo···.”

What happens after listening to personal opinions like that?

It seemed to be similar to the procedure I went through when entering Rahee’s guild, but more detailed tests were carried out.

Starting with basic tests to measure height and weight, to tests to check abilities related to exercise performance such as lung capacity and muscular endurance.

The entire process was carried out in the presence of the camp commander… and the results were enough to surprise those in charge of the inspection.

“This can’t be happening…”

“Why are you doing that?”

“I definitely checked the overall details in advance last night…”

Hey… did you check that too?

You really meant to grab my leash tightly.

While I was thinking this, a middle-aged military doctor who was acting as a representative of the medical staff raised his glasses and continued explaining.

“Although there was little change in things like height, weight, and muscle mass compared to when I checked yesterday, my overall physical abilities have increased.”

The man who spoke with admiration briefly added, ‘Of course, this is just the standard for the tests that have been conducted so far. It may change as we conduct more tests.’

“But isn’t it a great thing?”

“Yes, that is true. This is because the increase in physical ability was achieved without the help of any drugs.”

The way he looked and the way he spoke gave off the impression that he was closer to a researcher than a doctor, but was he actually closer to that tendency?

The man expressed his agreement with the commander’s remarks by nodding his head and then turned his gaze towards me.

I felt the same temperament as the question mark killers of the kids at our orphanage in that man’s eyes, and I immediately opened my mouth.

“There is nothing to be surprised about. This is just the beginning.”

“This is just the beginning?”

“Could you please explain?”

“If we were to compare Captain Rachel’s current situation to a plant, we could say it is like a seed that has just been planted in the ground.”

Were you surprised by my remarks like that?

The eyes of the camp commander, who introduced himself as Romei, widened slightly.

Needless to say, I was standing next to him.

However, I was proud.

Because it wasn’t completely wrong.

What Rachel was holding in her dantian right now was literally close to a seed.

First of all, it was about the size.

The size of the inner edge was a little smaller than the little fingernail, and it was about the size of a watermelon seed.

‘Nevertheless, the scary thing about naegong is that you can produce a performance that is different from before.’

But that was all.

Although internal power resides within the body, it has been reborn as a different being than before, but with that level of internal power, the energy source called internal power cannot be utilized properly.

The moment you try to use your internal power, your dantian will immediately become empty, so what’s the big deal?

That’s why starting now was important.

Just like rolling a snowball to increase its size, even if it is the size of a watermelon seed, if you keep rolling it, you will go beyond simply holding the internal power in your body and have the foundation to use martial arts.

The increase in overall physical ability that occurs in the process is a bonus.

“Because it is a seed, starting now is important. No matter how good the soil and seeds are, if the owner neglects management, eventually the flowers will not bloom properly and will wither.”

“I guess it was true that Captain Abraham had talent. If you can say it’s good soil.”

“Well… To be honest, I was a bit surprised too. No matter how much I was there to help, it usually takes at least a few days to reach that stage. It is quite common for people who do not have talent to be unable to reach them for the rest of their lives even if they only help with cancer.”

“I see… Then what about the other unit members…?”

“If it is not the case mentioned above, as time goes by, one by one, the captain will reach the place where he is now.”

Of course, I did not forget to add that it is difficult to guarantee.

If the remaining people, excluding Rachel, were as beautiful or at least women like Rachel, I would have used the same methods I used for Rachel and helped them form an inner circle… but that’s not the case, is it?

Aside from Rachel, all that remained were the little bastards.

They are even the ones who started fighting with me from the first time we met… Is there any reason why I should wholeheartedly help them?

I’ve already completed the proof through Rachel’s case, right?

Tell me what to do.

As Rachel succeeded in forming an inner circle much faster than I had expected, the remaining people ended up in a situation where it didn’t matter what happened.

Now, if they can’t learn martial arts, it’s not because I’m a liar or incapable, it’s because they’re not good at it.

I never had any particular intention, but the situation has turned out that way, so what can I do?

All I can do is pray for them so that they can do well.

‘by the way···.’

I thought to myself as I watched Rachel, who had completed all the basic tests and was engaged in battle with virtual monsters precisely created through a training hologram device.

By the way… they fight well.

Should I say that he basically has a fighting sense?

Even now, the amount of internal energy accumulated within the body is not very much. What will happen if I learn proper martial arts after learning the mind method in earnest and accumulating a sufficient amount of internal energy?

As an unmanned person, I couldn’t help but wonder, and because of that, I felt a little bit regretful.

Unlike Rahee, Ari, and Juyeon, she wasn’t just an adult, and in the case of Rachel, she was considerably older than those three.

Is that all?

I don’t know if it was because I came from the United States, where the meat-eating culture was very established, but the amount of toxins accumulated in my body was also significant.

“It’s a shame. Even if I had joined a little earlier, the point I could reach would have been different from now…”

So I complained like that without realizing it, but… did he react to my remarks like that?

A mysterious voice came from right next to me.

“Hmm? What does that mean?”

“Ah… There is one thing I realized when I realized this talent: the younger the person receiving the training, the better. This is because as you age, turbid energy accumulates in your body…”

“Couldn’t it be removed artificially?”

“To be honest, it’s a bit difficult. This is especially true if you are someone who enjoys eating meat.”

It must have been at the moment when I was having an informal conversation with Romei, the camp commander.

Are all procedures finally over?

With the sound of the wind escaping, the huge door that separated where we were and where Rachel was opened opened.

So when Rachel finally joined us again, her eyes… were noticeably different from before.

To be honest, it feels a little bit burdensome.
