Chapter 216
Episode 216 [The Beginning of War (2)]
Hyukjun stopped in front of a large tent.
[6th Division Awakened Branch]
The sign in front of the tent had the words he wanted written on it.
It was a tent right next to the division headquarters. For some reason, the tent seemed deserted.
Since I was only here to register as an awakened person, it didn’t matter that it was quiet.
He entered the tent.
The inside of the tent was not much different from the regimental headquarters or command tent.
A white board covered with various tables, maps, pictures and text attached to the tent wall. And long tables and chairs for meetings.
What was different was that there was a strange electronic device in place of a communicator and a young woman sitting in front of it and looking at him.
No matter how I looked, the woman in front of me looked like an office worker, not a soldier.
But he didn’t find it that strange. He was the one who fought with the young boy. Whether old or female, they were all just awakened people.
“This is a barracks exclusively for awakened people. “What brings an ordinary soldier here?”
She watched him come in with a worried look on his face.
It wasn’t often that private soldiers came here. Most of the problems were with the awakened members of the platoon. In the end, it’s just a headache. Her expression couldn’t have been good.
But when Hyukjun opened his mouth, her expression changed completely.
“I came to register as an awakened person.”
“yes? really?”
She seemed very surprised.
“Wow, there’s someone who awakens even before the battle. congratulations!”
He burst out laughing in pure congratulations.
“Oh right. I need to check first. “I didn’t know how to write this already.”
She dragged the electronic equipment that had been pushed to the back. It was a piece of equipment that looked like a measuring instrument found in a hospital.
“Could you please put your hand on the tester for a moment to check?”
“Is this a mana meter?”
“Yes, it is a tester that measures the current grade and characteristics.”
He looked at the equipment in front of him and sighed.
It was too big.
From the body’s owner’s memory, mana science in this world seemed to have advanced considerably, but a measuring instrument of that size.
As someone who remembered the mobile phone-type measuring instrument, he could not help but shake his head at the sight of the outdated measuring instrument.
Anyway, he placed his hand in the position the woman mentioned.
She took out a document and looked at Hyukjun’s chest.
“His name is Youngcheol Koo… What unit are you in?”
He looked blank for a moment after hearing the woman’s words.
His name was Hyukjun, but Hyukjun no longer exists.
I had a lifetime of memories, but I couldn’t tell if those memories were an illusion, a dream, or a past life.
“I see, I’m Gu Young-cheol now.”
I had both memories in my head. Although he was clearly aware that he was Hyukjun, now he had to live as Goo Youngcheol.
He told us about the company and platoon.
The woman nodded and started the equipment.
“It appears that there are products made as small as a watch, but they are not yet available in the field. Well, honestly, there’s no reason to make it that small.”
Hyukjun, or rather Yeongcheol, laughed bitterly at the woman’s words. It seemed like there was a misunderstanding.
“Then let’s start measuring. “You just have to be comfortable.”
But he had no intention of staying still.
It was better to get good results from the test.
And he knew how to raise the bar. Although the grade itself could not be surpassed, the value could be raised sufficiently within it.
He began to move the mana in his body.
The numbers on the screen rose quickly.
As expected, there were no grades F or higher. But the woman looked surprised.
“and. That’s a huge number for someone who registered for the first time, right? “There isn’t much of a difference until the next grade.”
She looked at him with admiration.
He shrugged. I have received this kind of admiration many times before.
Rather, the woman’s admiration felt less great than expected.
“But it says the characteristics are unknown. I guess it’s a special characteristic. “Don’t you know what the trait is?”
He shook his head at the woman’s words.
There was a high possibility that the characteristics of this body were possession. It was a trait he had never heard of. There was no way there was any information.
“Do not worry. There are many people who find out later. “Then I’ll start the paperwork.”
The woman took out documents here and there and laid them out on the desk.
“I’m not in charge, so it will take some time. I said I would stay because he likes to be alone. Please wait a moment.”
Contrary to what she said, the woman quickly filled out the documents and immediately contacted the division headquarters.
“Among the soldiers, an awakened person has emerged. His name is Corporal Koo Young-cheol. The unit is….”
It seemed like the solution could be resolved with just one phone call. . It seemed that the woman’s position was not lower than expected.
Or perhaps the position of the awakened person was better than expected.
After hanging up the phone, she checked the documents and said to Hyeok-jun, or rather Yeong-cheol,
“I am currently a soldier, so I will be an awakened person belonging to the state until I am discharged. “You will have to maintain your status. Now, ordinary awakened people are also being conscripted, so don’t be too disappointed.”
He also knew the situation. There was a large-scale wave, so there was no way he wouldn’t be conscripted.
“And… first, you have to go to the rear and receive awakened training for about a month.”
“wait a minute.”
He raised his hand to block the explanation:
“I don’t need any training.”
“yes?”
“I want to fight right away.”
I had to raise my level as soon as possible. There was no reason to waste time.
“But there are regulations…” “
I can fight well even without that training. If necessary, I can take the test. Unless I am in a position to make decisions. You can call the person in charge.”
The woman looked embarrassed at his firm words.
“I could make the decision, but…”
As expected, it was a woman whose position was higher than expected.
“It would be difficult to make a decision just by trusting what you say. I’ll call someone. Just a moment.” .”
She said that and continued to sit in her seat.
Yeongcheol waited, but she didn’t want to move or call.
“Aren’t you going to call me?”
Finally, Youngcheol couldn’t bear it anymore and asked her. And he received an unexpected answer:
“I contacted you a little while ago. We’re almost there.”
Yeongcheol frowned. This was a trait.
“No way…”
Just as he was about to speak,
a person came into the tent.
“Some of the soldiers have awakened?”
It was a large man wearing full body armor. And it was a man who the owner of his body knew. It was
Park Jin-hyuk, the most famous male awakener in Korea and the president of the awakening association.
Youngcheol was confused by the sudden intrusion of a famous person.
He hurriedly I looked at the woman again.
“No way, your name is….”
“Oh, I didn’t tell you my name. My name is Seol-yeon.”
“The director of the association, an awakened telepath…”
He couldn’t remember the face, but he knew that among the directors of the association there was a person with strong telepathic abilities.
Yeongcheol’s expression hardened.
Wow.
He quickly wrapped mana around his head. He
must be a telepathic person. That’s right. I might have recognized the thoughts that came to my mind until now. -Don’t
worry. I normally block my senses. I don’t know what Yeongcheol was thinking. My
defense was useless.
I wrapped my head with mana, but my senses were blocked. Her voice was heard.
She was a much stronger awakened person than expected. Even in the world she was in, it was rare to see someone with this level of telepathic ability.
“How can I do it now…”
“I recognized her by her facial expression. If they knew my identity, everyone would know. “They had similar facial expressions.”
Even with Seol-yeon’s words, he couldn’t relax his nerves. He didn’t know that his secret might be revealed from the start.
“What do you mean, you won’t get an education?”
Jinhyeok, the president of the association, had already heard the entire story through telepathy.
“He says he can fight well without training, but I am not a combat awakened person, so it is difficult to confirm.”
At Seol-yeon’s words, Jin-hyuk turned his head and looked at him.
A tingling
sensation flowed from his body.
Perhaps because he was the president of the association, he was a strong awakener. It seemed like there would be at least a two-level difference.
But he was confident. Although
he might not win . His skills were enough to get recognition.
“If you need a test, you can do it.”
At Yeongcheol’s words, Jinhyeok tilted his head and shook his hands.
“As you know, I am the president of the Awakened Association. I will attack you as a test, so try to block it.”
Yeongcheol grinned. It was what he expected.
He raised both hands and drew up mana. Then he circulated the mana according to the mana practice.
It was a mana practice that he had refined after numerous fights in the world he was in. He used the mana he had. It was a never-to-be-used method of mana that moved within the body to create speed and power several times stronger
. The world became slower and slower. Muscles gained strength and fur rose. It felt like the opponent’s movements could be caught. It was
disappointing that the grade was lowered, but here The mana practice was equally effective.
He put his feet out and opened his hands according to the flow of mana. It was the basic posture of mana martial arts. It was
difficult to block because the level difference was quite large, but he could avoid the opponent’s attack with just the mana practice and mana martial arts. That was enough.
As expected, the other person seemed very surprised.
And the president of the association took a similar stance.
‘Imitating it doesn’t mean it will work.’
He secretly laughed at the president of the association who did the same, but glared at the other person without saying a word.
At that moment,
“I’m going!”
Boom!
The president of the association took a big step forward. Dust kicked up from his feet, and the president of the association suddenly approached him.
Youngcheol gaped when he saw the president approaching him one step at a time.
“No way! Balgyeong?”
It was nonsense. It was a technique that could not be performed unless someone had properly learned the Mana Practice. The
president of the association extended his fist towards him. It was an ordinary scream.
But the speed was so fast that it was impossible for an ordinary person to notice.
‘Pfft!’
Youngcheol could barely see it. Yeongcheol desperately held out both hands.
It was a faster fist than expected. It was impossible to stand still and completely throw it away.
Yeongcheol desperately swung both hands to push away the approaching fist.
At the same time, he moved to the side. He threw his body away.
But the approaching fist went over his blocking hand and chased after him as he ran away.
The fist filled his eyes.
Kwaang!
A sound of air bursting was heard.
Squeak!
Then the tent was torn and Yeongcheol was thrown out of the tent. I went out.
“Oops! Mistake.”
The sound of Jinhyuk clicking his tongue was heard,
“Chairman of the Association! What have you done to someone who has just awakened!”
“No, after seeing his stance and mana use, I unconsciously felt like I was dealing with Kyung-hoon…”
“There is something else to compare to!”
“If you stopped punching at the end, you wouldn’t have been seriously hurt. But did you really learn it properly? I don’t think I need any separate training.”
Listening to the noise in the tent, Yeongcheol looked up at the sky blankly.
There were fist marks all over his face, but he couldn’t remember them.
“What on earth has happened to this world?”
It was just the beginning, but nothing went as planned.
At this rate, becoming the world’s best awakened person and protecting the world couldn’t be easy.
“There must be a reason. I need to find out what happened.”
There was clearly something that he and the owner of this body did not know.
At that time, his eyes saw helicopters passing in the sky.
They were high-tech helicopters that could not be seen in the other world. Next to the helicopters, there was a mark drawn. A
moving pattern that the owner of the body also knew. It was the mark of EV.
