chapter 23
23 – Episode 23
The 30-day combat training for pilots has already passed half.
It’s not difficult to simply learn skills or general combat methods, but even if you learn skills, using them in combat is a different story.
It is virtually impossible to use a skill learned only superficially in an emergency situation, and it takes more training or actual combat experience to become proficient enough to use it in battle unconsciously or naturally.
Naturally, the heroes who were trained together came to lightly use their skills or sparred with each other.
I don’t know how to speak English, but there is an interpreter, and McCoy did the translation for me, so I got to know some of the other heroes.
There were three heroes from the United States, and most of them were favorable to me, probably because of the last plane attack.
Of course, not everyone was kind to me. I became a little uncomfortable with Irina, a female hero from Russia.
Irina once came up to me with a delighted expression and spoke to me in Russian, but when I didn’t understand at all, she muttered something with a puzzled look and body language, and left with a slightly disappointed expression.
I don’t know Russian at all, but I was able to infer what he was saying from his expression and body language.
Of course, I would be pretty disappointed if a Korean I met in another country couldn’t speak Korean at all, but I also had my own reasons, so I felt dirty.
Since her parents died in a villainous accident when she was very young, I never had the opportunity to learn Russian from my mother.
I don’t remember anything except for a few swear words that her mother used to fight with her father from time to time.
I don’t know if my father’s relatives were burdened with raising a mixed-race child, or if my mother and father were against it when they got married, but they didn’t want to take care of me and my mother’s family lived in Russia, so it was difficult to contact them at the time. So, I ended up going to an orphanage.
Eventually, after living in an orphanage, I realized my ability to strengthen my physical body, and the government started to intensively manage me, who had awakened very quickly, and sent me for adoption to a specialized foster family, and sent officials to check on me from time to time, helping me in various ways. Gave.
Of course, it must have been one of the policies implemented by the government to nurture and protect promising talents. For me, who was left without any connections, the public servants who came to check on me to see if I was doing well with constant interest were a great source of strength, and I was very grateful to the adoptive parents of professional foster families who entrusted many talented young people.
After growing up to a certain extent, I asked my adoptive parents what happened to the villain after hearing the reason why my parents died, but I was angry because I was killed on the spot and I couldn’t take revenge.
After becoming a hero, I planned to visit my birth mother’s family on vacation, but I put it off because I was busy with work and I didn’t know Russian, so I thought that even if I visited, I wouldn’t be able to communicate.
I could use an interpreter, but I still haven’t contacted you because I don’t like people knowing about my childhood.
Suddenly, after an argument that started a few years ago over whether or not I was taking my anger out on the villains, I felt the need to visit my adoptive parents more often, who had become a bit awkward.
I heard that when her mother died, she couldn’t contact her because there was no Russian-speaking government official involved.
I will not procrastinate any longer and go find my birth mother’s family.
I couldn’t concentrate on the last theory class and thought about my childhood, so I became depressed for a while. Since today we are going to practice combat, I headed to the training ground with a little anticipation.
It was said that the actual training was conducted as instructed by the instructors for those with similar abilities, but befitting a place where heroes from each country gathered, everyone spurred training until late because of pride and competition from yesterday.
I am also confident that I am among the strongest among the heroes of the same age.
Apart from his secret abilities, he possesses one of the top 10 body strengthening abilities in the world among active heroes, has excellent flight skills, and has experienced many high-density real battles.
Even before training started, I could feel that everyone was excited or nervous. There are pride battles between countries and individual pride, and everyone seemed to be serious about it today.
My first opponent was a Spanish hero, but he seemed a bit nervous when he saw me.
In actual combat training, the rule was that the one who lands a valid blow first wins. However, quite a few hits were not recognized as valid hits, and only attacks that would at least lose some combat power if hit during battle were recognized.
I’m one of the heroes who learned the tricks the fastest during training, and I’ve rarely lost even in light sparring.
Is it because the other person is nervous? The Spanish hero, who had been sparring several times so far, was not able to show off his skills during the sparring, and easily allowed the blow to win his first victory in vain.
It looked a little disgruntled, but he immediately admitted defeat and shook hands.
The second opponent was Irina from Russia, who was a little uncomfortable with me, but she seemed full of enthusiasm.
“Извините за то что, я обидел(а).”
From the way he spoke, it didn’t sound like he was swearing, but I couldn’t understand him at all.
“What do you mean Shiba?”
She inadvertently spoke her mind, but surprisingly Irina nodded her head and straightened her posture as if she accepted it favorably.
The advantage of being able to fly is that you can perform almost endless chain attacks with movements that are impossible on the ground.
In battles between fighters with the same flight ability, if the difference in physical ability or flight ability isn’t too great, usually the winner is in proficiency.
The difference between Irina and her physical ability was not great, but since she had an overwhelming advantage in reach, her attack and defense gradually became more advantageous to me.
Perhaps he worked very hard during the training period, there was almost no difference in his skill level.
Thanks to her rich difference, I was able to continue the one-sided offensive, and in the end, Irina, who was on the defensive, was defeated with a blow to her chin.
In the workshop that lasted longer than expected, both of them had many cuts on their arms and legs, and blood was dripping.
When people with similar levels of body enhancement abilities battle, their skin splits as if they were cut by a knife.
Irina immediately recovered her stance after being hit, but when she heard the instructor’s declaration of defeat, she immediately admitted her defeat.
“Sorry about last time. But consider learn Russian.”
(Sorry about that last time, but why don’t you try learning Russian)
Irina, who had admitted her defeat and withdrew, held out her hand as she handed her words to me in clumsy English.
I could understand this level of English, so she talked to me with a smile.
“It’s OK. I will try to learn.”
My English is not good enough, so the accent was a little strange, but Irina seemed to understand it, and she shook my hand and smiled. At the sight of the Russian beauty’s smile, the little bit of her unpleasant feeling melted away in an instant.
Here and there at the training ground, medical staff were treating the wounds of the heroes with large medical staplers exclusively for those with physical enhancement abilities.
After the practical training, everyone rushed to the medical room and received treatment mainly for deep wounds by a person with regenerative powers.
She
Received treatment and returned to the hotel she was staying at.
After today’s training, there was supposed to be a small party in the garden on the roof of the hotel, but most of the heroes attended.
After taking a shower, I went up to the rooftop, and the heroes who had already gathered were chatting with each other noisily.
Music was playing as if the hotel had prepared it, and waiters were serving food or champagne on trays.
This was the first time I had a Western-style party, except for the after-party for the medal conferment ceremony in the US last time. At the last party, I was not worried because the interpreter was always there, but I wasn’t used to parties, so I couldn’t help but look at the person I was close to like a bird that had lost its mother. Searched for
Fortunately, McCoy was very tall like me, so he was able to spot me at a glance.
“McCoy!”
“Nikolai. Welcome.”
McCoy was with Layla, an American heroine.
“Hey, Nikolai.”
Leila was a blonde, white woman in her early twenties, and she was kind to me without showing any signs of frustration despite my lack of English.
“Everyone, here’s Nikolai from Korea.”
(Everyone, this is Nikolai from Korea)
Leila appeared to be broadcasting on a cell phone connected to her selfie stick.
As if there were a lot of viewers, the chatting seemed to pass quickly even at first glance.
I saw a lot of waving emojis in the chats that passed by, and octopus emoticons often came up together.
I knew that Westerners had a high rate of hair loss, so there was little atmosphere teasing them about hair loss, but I guess that wasn’t the only thing.
I was a little anxious because there were so many bad memories when it was live or on camera, but McCoy translated what Layla was saying, so I exchanged greetings with the people chatting.
Leyla said she was curious about the chat, she asked how her experience in the US was.
“Um… First of all, it was nice to be able to receive very systematic and high-level training. The hotel was very comfortable and the food was delicious.”
In fact, most of the food was too salty and sweet compared to what I ate in Korea, but I said it was good.
At the moment, the meme that Americans eat like they have health insurance came to mind, and it was hard to resist wanting to say it.
Leyla asked what was difficult or uncomfortable this time, and McCoy translated right away.
There was nothing particularly difficult about her, but it was a bit difficult to bring less panties than expected, and she was sorry to ask the diplomat to buy them, so she remembered that she had to leave the laundry with room service every day.
“Oh, it was a little uncomfortable because I brought less panties.”
My interpreter, McCoy, looked at me again.
She looked at me with an expression as if I had heard it right, and she shrugged her shoulders, thinking that she was being particularly embarrassed, even though she wasn’t particularly ashamed.
Listening to McCoy’s interpretation, Layla looked a little taken aback.
For some reason, the chat window went up a little faster. I saw emoticons with embarrassing expressions coming up.
“Nikolai, are you wearing panties?”
When McCoy asked, she nodded in response.
“Of course, don’t you wear panties?”
“No. I don’t have that taste…”
After McCoy translated the conversation with me, her chat window went up like crazy.
I was wondering if wearing no panties is standard in America, but McCoy took a step away from me.
“I understand your taste, bro, but I didn’t have to say it during the broadcast.”
It felt like something was wrong, but I just thought the culture was different in the West, and I enjoyed drinking food and alcohol at the party.

Breaking News) Nikolai Coming Out During Live Streaming
Yesterday, it was reported that Nikolai wore panties during the live streaming of American hero Leila, so there were few articles in foreign countries as gay enjoying crossdressing.
In Korea, when you say panties, you mean underwear, but in English, panties mean women’s underwear.
Nikolai said that he wears panties, so the nose players thought that Nikolai had a hobby of dressing up as a girl, so they panicked as a group hahahaha
ㅇㅇ: No, did the panties mean that? hahahaha I feel so sorry for the dentist hahahaha
->ㅇㅇ: I already noticed what the situation was and corrected the article, but the US media has an algorithm that automatically copies provocative articles, so gay rumors are still going around.
->Hyggallum: Uh.. Nikolai is a virgin because he had a secret like this? I understand this and rumors are spreading hahahaha
->Heung: hahahahaha Oh, I feel so sorry for Nikolai. In Korea, I often see him hanging out with Han Seung-hee, so there are rumors of a romantic relationship.
->FB: To be honest, the interpreter was wrong. The interpreter is a hero who doesn’t know the difference hahahaha
Autumn Sound: From today, Galju will not receive any refutation for the ‘Dongsung Tram’.
->ㅇㅇ: Dongseong Train ㅇㅋㅋ hahahaha
->Humbson King: It’s only missing one stick, but the meaning has changed hahahahaha
->aaa: I have nothing to say even if I slap the translator. This is lol
Alzalttak: Nikolai changed his job to ‘Homo Tank’ after a mistake in translation hahahaha Where did the original interpreter go and where did the foreigner translate?
->ㅇㅇ: I don’t know about that, but I’m British and I speak Korean quite well. I hadn’t been to Korea myself, so I guess I didn’t know the difference.
->WF: Still, correction articles are coming up soon, so Nikolai must have been taken aback.
->Higael Ghost: When you wake up, how would you feel if an article appeared saying that you have a hobby in dressing up as a girl? Lol
——————————————–
McCoy, who noticed the situation belatedly, apologized with a knife.
That’s Japanese culture…. I told McCoy that Korea has a culture called grandeur.
Still, I was sincerely sorry, and since corrective reports began to come out, I forgave them.
It will take some time to clear up the misunderstanding, but honestly, I’m used to it because embarrassing things have been revealed so many times.
His heart was relieved to some extent when he saw McCoy’s sincere expression of clearing up misunderstandings one by one, saying it was a translation mistake to those who were training together.
Now, interviews, variety shows, and internet broadcasts are all rejected.
It seems that a series of terrible memories will cause trauma.
