EP.19 EP2. test(3)
Choi Ki-yeol.
His father would always emphasize his spirit when it was time for training.
‘Hey Choi Ki-yeol! Tell me what kind of family our family is!’
‘It’s from the Marines!’
‘Once the Marines
Eternal Marines! And we, who inherited that blood, are heirs who inherited the spirit of the Marines! Although humanity will go out to sea after the cataclysm
Even if the work is reduced and even a small amount of expenses are entrusted to the heroes specialized in winning battles, the spirit must not change even at this moment.
will be! I understand what you mean!’
‘understand!!!’
What are marines, and why do they use evil in everything they do, and catch Gao even in the smallest things?
Coincidentally, young Choi Ki-yeol did not know about it.
The training was painful, and yet his father’s shouts and falcons were even more terrifying, so he just followed his orders.
However, now that he has become an adult, all of that has become something to be called his pride and pride.
Whatever the reason, thanks to those teachings, he was able to overcome his fears at any time and show his leisure as a strong man.
Conversely, he felt disgust towards those who could not demonstrate such a spirit, but the man he thought would be the target turned and faced himself again.
“Hey, did the current words touch you?”
“Ah, it’s a body that I’ve lived through hearing that it’s a corpse, except for toughness.”
A man who answers his words with a blunt voice.
He had spoken in a tense voice until before, but after his provocation, the atmosphere had completely changed.
When you see them in suits, they look like ordinary office workers, not even heroes or mercenaries, or interviewees… … .
‘This man is unusual.’
yes this man
It was something I had felt before, but unlike the other test takers, I never lost my temper in front of him.
“Honestly, it’s a waste of time… . What is the point of stepping away after hearing such a thing, so let’s try it first.”
Even in a situation where the C-class rookies who are said to be introverted are stretching out, they have the same attitude.
On the contrary, he just turned his high-pressure gaze towards himself and took a stance.
“Kah ha ha! Yes, I will only admit that courage. “
Seeing this, Ki-yeol Choi put strength into his fist with a fishy smile.
“Then I’ll go right away without any acknowledgment!”
No further conversation is needed.
Now this is a test.
It’s just a moment when you just need to know your opponent’s qualifications.
– Dude!
As he put his fists into force for that, the advice of my father began to come to Ki-yeol Choi’s head.
‘Father, can I ask you one thing?’
‘Ask a question, let’s ask!’
‘What is ahah?’
‘Oh! That’s a word for premature babies who aren’t yet qualified! In other words, we must develop the assei of this world into great marines!’
‘I, Father. What we need to teach is not marines, but heroes… … .’
‘Baby, Giyeol!!’
‘Ki, Giyeol!’
‘Listen up, Choi Ki-yeol!! Even if you’re a hero, it all starts with Assey! If you want to become a real strong man, you have to change from an asshole brain to a marine! Did you understand!?’
‘Aww!!’
Yes, the fist of today is never meant to kill the enemy.
A technique for judging the level of the opponent by itself.
If mental and physical strength were not perfected, this skill would never stand.
“A SAY ONE PUNCH!!!”
– Aww!
With such a teaching, a young fist slammed right into the opponent’s abdomen.
However, the moment their fists met, Choi Ki-yeol had no choice but to be enveloped in a sense of alienation different from before.
‘My senses are shallow… … ?’
If you are a superhuman, it is basic to defend yourself by unconsciously demonstrating your superhuman strength only for attacks that Jishin recognizes.
Even if it’s a surprise attack, it’s impossible to unconsciously gather a superhuman force at the same time you signal that you’re going to attack.
‘Are you sure, non-choice?’
Immediately after feeling cold for an instant.
– Duck!
His two legs, which should have been blown away by the shock, were rooted in the ground and tried to brake.
The body, which had receded to some extent, eventually stood upright without touching the wall.
“… … Cool.”
And at that moment, blood spurted out of his mouth.
Surprised by this, the people around tried to approach him, but the man only raised his hand and wiped the blood from his mouth.
“Wait, are you okay?”
“Oh, it’s fine. It’s okay if you take a breath.”
Saying that, the man gently put his hand on his stomach.
His expression wrinkled as if in shock, but his face was only slightly frowned upon, showing no fear of death at all.
“However… Cool, it’s obvious that you’re playing while watching, but if you can’t stand this much, where can you go and show off your guts?”
Did you hit it while watching it?
No, I didn’t think of it that way now.
An attack that maximizes damage in the event of a collision by emitting a shock wave with a massive superhuman force that blows away the opponent.
If you withstand the shock wave and prevent a collision, the damage can be offset by more than 90%, but usually you are pushed by the momentum of a fist swing, and you often fail to reach the idea of surviving the shock wave.
Even if you can understand it with your head, your reason and instinct are paralyzed by the spirit you emit.
Suppressing that feeling and slamming your legs into the ground is impossible with any courage.
“Hey, what is the grade of the gift?”
Especially if it’s a non-super with a much lower ability than the gift holder.
“…E-class.”
“E-class?”
“Is there a problem?”
Yeah, you mean you weren’t very non-super?
However, even with an E-class, his evaluation does not change.
E-class is one step above the incompetent F-class. If you are a pyrotechnic person, you can light a fire at your fingertips, and if you have telekinetic power, it is only enough to lift a stone in front of you.
Of course, if you are a person who specializes in recovery, even a cleanly severed arm can be attached within a few seconds, but that is to the extent that it is ‘faster and more efficient than modern medicine’, and it cannot be said that it is very special in a society of superhumans.
Above all else, those with regenerative abilities have their nerves alive ‘under any circumstances’.
Unable to even enjoy pain paralysis due to damage or the analgesic effect of adrenaline rush, the self-proclaimed meat shield means that they are prepared for pain several times or ten times greater than that of ordinary people.
‘How can you withstand my attack even though you are prepared for it… … .’
The moment when you can understand why he was angry at the word ‘I don’t have guts’ in the past
And the image he showed at this moment made this moment boil Choi Ki-yeol’s heart.
“I’ve survived now, so can I go?”
“Are you going? Where do you mean?”
“No, I didn’t come here for an interview in the first place… … .”
“A SAY ONE WITCH!!!”
– Coogong!
Evolution made with the spirit.
With him, the space resonated, and the atmosphere of the test takers began to stiffen again.
Even in the midst of this, the opponent is only bewildered, but not as frightened as the others around him.
‘Yes, this is sleeping. This guy is the one who will succeed me as a marine!’
A person who may be more than himself with only one toughness.
How could I miss a person like that?
“Let’s postpone the exam until later. Come on, follow me right now! I will guide you and make you the best marines of this era… … .”
The moment I tried to surround him with both hands that were inflated with such power.
– Click.
Except for shouting, the sound of unlocking the lock heard in the scene where there is silence.
The moment someone opened the door and entered the waiting room, the eyes of everyone at the scene turned to the exit.
“Excuse me~ Did someone come here with a letter of recommendation?”
The same goes for Choi Ki-yeol.
Choi Ki-yeol’s expression softened at the moment of interruption, but even that was dyed with contemplation the moment he met the person who entered.
“Kaa!”
“Well?”
Either way, the woman who came in is only interested in my business.
The appearance of wearing a sweatshirt and horn-rimmed glasses did not suit the scene where the strong C-class gathered, but the woman’s footsteps in the waiting room were dignified.
“Huh? Well?”
The woman’s footsteps stopped at the man who had been confronting Choi Ki-yeol before.
The woman who groaned as she looked around his face put her hand in my arms and pulled out something.
“Hey, why… … .”
“Wait.”
A gray-brown paper bag that the man pulled out before he could even utter a question.
The woman took the paper bag and put it on the man’s head.
A man who was very embarrassed by his actions.
“… … there.”
“ah! It was you too!”
However, what came out of the woman’s mouth was none other than an exclamation of joy.
“I mean, do you know how long I have been waiting for you? When they come, they tell me that they have come. Why are you flirting here?”
“No, wait a minute… … .”
“Okay, so come this way. I have a lot to tell you.”
A man who feels confused in a situation where he cannot understand English.
Nevertheless, the woman grabbed his hand and began to move towards the exit of the waiting room.
At that moment, Choi Ki-yeol came to his senses.
“Come on, wait a minute, Suzuki-san!”
Choi Ki-yeol calls her name urgently.
However, there was no semblance of the spirit that had been maintained before in that voice.
Cold sweat in the wide-open eyes peering under the hat. Due to the trembling of his jaw, he could even hear the faint crackling of his teeth.
The moment when his mood, which had always had a face like a wooden stone, was disturbed. A woman called Suzuki looked at Choi Ki-yeol with her indifferent eyes.
“Why are you calling me sir?”
“No, that… … . Why is he taking him?”
“Why are you taking me? Hey, is this person the guest I called here?”
“Uh, uh… … ?”
“I don’t know how I came to hang out here, but… there must have been some misunderstanding. Then, I’m working with this person from now on, so hey, uncle, do what you have to do.”
Hey.
A title she always puts in her mouth whenever she calls herself.
The word itself meant to treat a ‘recruit’, but Choi Ki-yeol didn’t even feel sad about it.
Well, she was a person who could treat herself as a ‘baby’.
“That, that… … .”
“What else do you have to say?”
Suzuki looked back with a frown.
Ki-yeol Choi, who swallowed his saliva, bowed his head and answered.
“… … Yes, yes.”
nothing but respect.
He grabbed the man as she was a smiling woman and immediately closed the door to the waiting room.
The moment when the hardened breath was released again.
After that, the test takers looked back at Choi Ki-yeol, but the enthusiasm he had seen before was gone as if he had washed away his legs.
***
“Hey, I don’t quite understand the situation right now, but… … .”
A situation in which he was suddenly swayed by a bodyguard test, and was dragged out by a woman he had never met for the first time.
When I asked him a question late, barely clearing his confusion, the woman stopped walking and turned to look at me.
“I don’t understand, sir, have you forgotten me?”
“I forgot and slept, and I have no memory at all… … . Where have we met?”
A woman who sighs a little, saying, “Ha,” at my words.
After that, she released her hand from me and gently opened her sweatshirt zipper and took out something inside.
An overall pink tint.
Star-shaped ornaments hanging everywhere.
“yap!”
The woman rotated the dagger by hand, and started moving her legs as if dancing.
“Twinkle~ Twinkle~ Shining like a shooting star in the sky, I am a symbol of brilliant hope that will illuminate this era!
– Whirlik. 🤩🤩🤩
The rotating wand stopped for a moment.
The woman who took the pose immediately tried to wink by bringing the V-signa to the corner of her eye.
A star-shaped figure drawn with a frown and exposed eyes.
Although it was a lens change to the last, it was also an object that gave a personality that you can’t forget if you look at it once.
“How do you remember this?”
A woman who reveals her personality and asks questions to me.
I reflexively answered the question with low expectations.
“… who?”
“Hey, this person!! What if I don’t recognize you even after doing this!”
No, I already figured it out.
I just thought it would be better to go back to the old place.
Damn, you idiot with a lot of guts is the next monster woman who throws people at the speed of sound?
