Unconventional Offer and Vacation-1

===========================

Lee Hyun-wook again confirmed the items protruding from Kobold’s body.

-Acquired the’Devil’s Medal (Inferno)’.

It looked like a small jewel.

‘It’s ridiculous. You said this was coming out of here….’

Daemon Medal

As the name implies, it was an object containing the power of the demonic race,’daemon’.

‘In the upper race medal series, Inferno is one of the most useful axes.’

When it comes to Inferno, it often means ‘hell fire.’

‘At first, Inferno, the savior of Busan, had this….’

Inferno is an incredibly strong player at this point, but by acquiring this item that fits his nickname, he will exert a more powerful flame power.

The appearance of raising the magma and sweeping everything like the waves of the ocean… Lee Hyun-wook recalled the disaster and swallowed dry saliva without knowing it.

However, even such an Inferno could not be an opponent of the “necromancer”.

The savior of Busan alone blocked the undead army that covered the coastal waters of Busan, but in the end…

‘······It became one undead.’

After that, this medal was also in the hands of the Necromancer.

‘After that, I heard that the Sulfur Fire Corpse Golem, that terrible biological weapon, was made using this.’

Haeundae Marine City in Busan, a corpse golem with tens of meters that smashed the skyscraper … … a concrete forest that was tragically devastated by a green fire ….

Lee Hyun-wook recalled the scene vividly and stuck his tongue out without knowing it.

Necromancer was really, the worst enemy.

“······By this, I am one step ahead of him, or two feet ahead of him.”

gulp-

He swallowed the item right away, who would see it.

There was Kobold’s blood on it, but I couldn’t afford to care about it.

– caution! There are ‘metals’ that are already being absorbed. There is a delay in absorption.

“After…… Corporal Hyun-wook Lee, is it over now?”

Ahn Min-tae approached and asked.

“Don’t be vigilant yet.”

At Lee Hyun-wook’s words, all of the squad began to watch the surroundings.

However, there was no Kobold alive.

In Lee Hyun-wook’s sense, there was no moving metal other than the squad member.

“Vice platoon leader. I think it’s all over.”

“Ah······.”

Choi Sun-ah nodded with a nerdy expression.

Lee Hyun-wook looked back at the squad members. They also looked similar to Choi Sun-ah.

‘I have to clear up my complex emotions.’

Lee Hyun-wook thought it was a moment in need of praise for the future. I’ll have to fight with them several times in the future, so I needed to instill confidence for myself.

“All done well.”

At that end, all eyes gathered on Lee Hyun-wook.

“No one made a mistake and coped well. As I asked for yesterday.”

They realized that his advice that Hyun-wook Lee said … that if he neglected training, he would not be able to save his own life, actually happened like a prophecy.

Lee Hyun-wook then made eye contact with Park Jun-mo.

“Especially Park Jun-mo. You played a decisive role in clearing up the remainder.”

“······Ah! Go, thank you!”

Park Joon-mo nodded in amazement.

When a gate occurred in the premises and faced a goblin, he was depressed after hearing a sound after showing a foolish appearance.

But this time, I received a great compliment. Even the decisive role…… Park Joon-mo bowed his head because it seemed to be reddening.

“Ahn Min-tae, you were also reassuring like a corporal.”

“That’s right, it’s natural. haha······.”

He said that, but he couldn’t hide his gum smile.

“And the deputy platoon leader.”

“Huh?”

“It’s funny to say that I dare say this, but at the end of the suppression fire order, it was very appropriate. If I had hesitated in the moment, I would have missed a few of them, but I am very fortunate.”

“······Ah!”

In fact, when she gave the order, the squad members hesitated and looked at Lee Hyun-wook, and only followed the order when Lee Hyun-wook lifted the muzzle.

Anyway,

Only then was Choi Sun-ah revived and laughed.

“Thanks! I’m glad no one was hurt, really….”

Then, aren’t tears forming around my eyes?

It was because I was relieved momentarily.

After all… Looking at this figure, it seemed that he still hadn’t taken off all his high school students’ tees.

It was then.

Ku-gung-

Somewhere a heavy vibration rang. Everyone lowered and raised the muzzle.

Something fell on his back, on a brown brick wall.

“Oh, he’s……”

It was a knight wearing black’full plate armor’.

‘Seo Eunha.’

T-oh!

She threw herself lightly towards the floor, landing heavily.

‘Tsu, I thought it would be a time when it appeared loudly, but it’s serious.’

Lee Hyun-wook looked at her unpleasantly without even knowing.

No matter how heavier the knight series, he told her to go carefully, and in the distant future, Lee Hyun-wook told her to wear out her mouth.

It wasn’t some kind of’super hero landing’, but it was a necessity to land so nicely.

‘This was also one of the contents where I whined about being drunk and sad, probably.’

At the moment, Lee Hyun-wook wondered whether he had caught the pod without my knowledge like Lee Hee-min, the 2nd platoon leader.

However, no matter how much I thought about it, what he did was advice to become bones and flesh.

‘No matter, it’s natural.’

Cheol-chuck!

At that time, Eunha Seo’s face cover, “Visor,” went up.

Then her expression of embarrassment was revealed as it was.

“······.”

“Thank you. There was an unexpected situation, but it was successfully suppressed.”

Lee Hyun-wook tried to salute her.

However, her eyes were full of unknown hostility.

The next moment, she lifted the great sword and pointed at Lee Hyun-wook to the end.

“······Hey you.”

“Please say yes.”

“······You, what the hell are you?”

Something like this happened a while ago.

A sudden accident, a situation that has already ended even though she was dispatched in an hurry, and even that soldier standing in the middle of it…

One eyebrow of Seo Eun-ha wriggled. Even without a toilet, the redness spread over the pure white skin. It was because of intense doubts.

“Yes? What do you mean?”

“Last time, how did you do it?”

“……I still don’t know what you’re talking about.”

It was then.

“······power!”

A loud sound began to come from the inner alley.

“Well, ready for battle!”

It was the voice of Lee Hee-min, the second platoon leader.

He led Squad 3 and Squad 4 and returned urgently.

However, like Seo Eun-ha, it was a step late.

“······Oh, huh?”

He looked around with an expression full of embarrassment, then looked at Seo Eun-ha.

“Seo, Eunha Seo! what? Why are you here…

Seo Eun-ha shook her head without answer.

“What? no? So what, what, what happened?”

Lee Hee-min was more embarrassed than Seo Eun-ha, but was soaked in cold sweat.

I had to do that.

He was the person in charge of the middle point, but a very serious problem had occurred, so he could not avoid censure.

His embarrassment turned into irritation and naturally turned to the deputy platoon leader, Choi Sun-ah.

“this! this! Best! What happened! Damn, I told you to keep things straight so you don’t get into trouble!”

“Ah, platoon leader, that….”

He approached Sun-Ah with a spirited momentum and stepped back without knowing it.

I can see how much I have suffered normally, and my shoulders instinctively shrunk.

At that time, Lee Hyun-wook blocked his front.

“Platform Captain, I’ll report it.”

“What? What are you? I, fuck, told you to figure out the subject, right?”

Lee Hee-min couldn’t control his anger, and like an upset male goat, he bumped my bullet-proof helmet against Lee Hyun-wook’s bullet-proof helmet.

“······Okay. Then I’ll report it directly to the battalion commander.”

“What? Where are F-class cubs dare to feed the battalion commander!”

However, Lee Hyun-wook was looking somewhere other than Lee Hee-min.

“Huh? The cubs, …… Where to see. ”

Subsequently, a scene was directed that made Lee Hee-min’s chest more violent.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-

I heard the engine sound from behind.

It was the first car.

The car with the battalion commander passed through an alley and stopped in front of the middle point.

chin-

Soon, the passenger seat door opened, and Namsan’s druid and battalion commander Kim Gang-seok stood tall.

Looking up at the giant, Lee Hee-min breathed and inhaled.

“Chu, loyalty! Battalion Commander, a situation of unknown cause has occurred, so I buy it now, and the situation has been cleared up, but ah, there is no accurate information yet! We will report it after investigating a little more!”

His right hand, as he salutes, trembled like an aspen.

Kim Gang-seok’s thick hand put his chin on his shoulder.

“2nd Platoon Leader.”

“······Ugh! 2nd Platoon Leader, Lee Hee-min!”

“The commander of Platoon 2 is out there.”

“Eh, yes?”

“What are you trying to compel you to report that you know what you just came in from outside the middle base? Don’t waste time. I don’t like formal things, don’t you know?”

“······Sin, sorry!”

Kim Gang-seok passed Lee Hee-min without an answer.

Lee Hee-min trembled and rolled only his eyes, looking at the battalion commander’s back. He stopped in front of Lee Hyun-wook.

“The 5th squad leader.”

“Sergeant, Lee Hyun-wook!”

“You report it.”

Unlike Lee Hee-min, who is swaying, Lee Hyun-wook nodded with a calm expression, looking at the scene, and Lee Hee-min had no choice but to make an expression that looked like he chewed shit.

“Yes, I will report. During the middle point installation and alert operation, a black magic-type wide-area abnormality magic occurred in the sewer, and we responded to MOPP stage 3. Subsequently, a group of Kobolds attempted a raid and defeated it at the end of the battle. It is presumed that it is the remnant that was hidden away from surveillance at the time of the first eruption.”

“······.”

“BAT commander, would you like to report in detail? About how I responded to the F-class.”

Kim Gang-seok shook his head.

“We’ll hear that later, and we’re still in operation, so I’ll give you the next order.”

The battalion commander began to scan the traces of the battle scattered throughout the midpoint.

Dozens of dead bodies, M9 great swords stuck in them…… Lee Hyun-wook saw Kim Gang-seok’s eyebrows wriggling once.

“······ Now, from now on, Lieutenant Eun-ha Seo will direct this place and the middle point.”

Kim Gang-seok said that and looked at Seo Eun-ha.

She seemed somewhat embarrassed, but immediately saluteed her.

“Yes, I will.”

Lee Hyun-wook waited for the next word.

“And Lee Hyun-wook, you are performing the 1st Squad Leader mission as I said earlier. As Lieutenant Eun-ha Seo and other platoon members are waiting nearby, there will be nothing to put the two squads in danger as if you were worried… No, as if you pretended to be worried. Is there any good reason to reject this order?”

“······There is not.”

“Move immediately. And prove to me the best you can do.”

Lee Hyun-wook gave a big salute and nodded as he looked at Ahn Min-tae.

It meant asking for the 5th squad.

When I turned to the gate like that, I made eye contact with Cheon Myeong-ho, who was in the back seat of car 1.

“······.”

Lee Hyun-wook salutes him and passes by quickly.

Cheon Myeong-ho looked at his back with an expressionless expression.

“Ha…….”

He lamented a little, unknowingly, and looked at the landscape he had made.

“What the hell is that……”

He shook his head.

“Even if I saw it wrong, I saw it firmly.”

It even contained a bit of annoyance now.

“······It’s not a leopard, it’s just a criminal, right?”

In his eyes, Lee Hyun-wook’s back was even bigger.

***

On that day, the gate was closed at around 7 p.m. and all operations were completed.

And the next day,

In the counseling room of the 1st Company barracks, three private soldiers were sitting on the sofa.

“······Wow! crazy! So, what happened next?”

It was a private member of Squad 1, Seong-min Seong, who asked this question with an interesting face.

He was on vacation at the time of the last operation in Itaewon, so he did not know a lot of incidents that happened before and after, but he was listening to his brothers and sisters about the amazing things.

“What happened, Corporal Hyun-wook Lee suddenly came in front of us….”

He frowned and began to imitate Lee Hyun-wook.

“……I direct you. Yes, you must be complaining. I know. It doesn’t matter if we show off as we do now, but if we don’t follow the order, we will dispose of it immediately. This is a practice and I am a commander as a commander.”

“What? Does that make sense? Don’t lie!”

“It’s real! Anyway! When I said that, a few people answered yes and no, but the atmosphere was very strange. Especially, the expression of Corporal Geun-ho Kim, who was the temporary squad leader, really is, uh….”

Lee Hyun-wook served as the 1st squad leader at the command of the battalion commander.

It’s pretty successful too.

“The more shocking thing was during the third eruption.”

“······Why what is it?”

The story that follows was virtually a heroic story.

During the 3rd eruption, an elite monster, “Kobold Bomber,” appeared.

He was a pretty tricky opponent, carrying explosives in his body and throwing them or self-destructing.

Even it was mixed between a number of Kobold miscellaneous bottles, so it was difficult to correctly select and handle.

However, it was said that Corporal Hyun-wook Lee selected their locations and ordered a wide-area “freezing” magic attack around them, tied their feet and ordered a sniper, and attacked them perfectly.

“······On the other hand, in the second squad, commanded by the platoon leader, three tankers were injured. Well, that must be a very successful result, but Corporal Lee Hyun-wook was perfect.”

“Wow…… Then you made a more accurate judgment than the first platoon leader?”

“It’s actually like that.”

“No, wait a minute! 1st Platoon Leader is an elite! Some say you’re going to be the leader of the 3rd Battalion attack platoon soon? F-class did better than that person?”

Seongmin Koo still looked disbelievable.

It was then.

Queek-

The tiger also came when I said it, and Lee Hyun-wook came in as the door of the counseling room opened.

“······uh?”

“Ah! Corporal Hyun-wook Lee…….”

“Can, you have a lot of work!”

The three bowed their heads, hiding their surprised expressions.

Lee Hyun-wook nodded lightly and opened the shared refrigerator.

“I…… Corporal Hyun-wook Lee.”

“Huh?”

“Congratulations!”

“······what?”

“That! Today, don’t you get the battalion commander’s citation? I heard that the battalion commander is visiting in person during the afternoon dinner meeting.”

“Ah, that? Yes, thank you.”

Lee Hyun-wook said so, and took out a drink.

“Well, Corporal Hyun-wook Lee!”

When he was about to go out, a private soldier called Lee Hyun-wook to stand up.

The guy was crouching, then laughed darkly, and opened his mouth.

“I think it was the perfect command in the last battle. At that time, I was also showing a dissatisfied expression…I am sorry even now. I will be careful in the future.”

Lee Hyun-wook smiled and nodded.

“Yes, thank you for following me well at that time.”

“Yes! Take it easy!”

So let’s Lee Hyun-wook out…

“after······.”

The privates then exhaled a trembling breath.

“Hey, was it so trembling to talk with Corporal Hyun-wook Lee?”

“So I was nervous without knowing. after······.”

And only then, Seong-min nodded.

“Wow! Is everything you’ve said so far true?”

“But, you bastard!”

“Wow…… Corporal Hyun-wook Lee, from the look of your eyes is quite different. Doesn’t it look like a completely different person?”

“Oh, that’s right…”

Now, it wasn’t just Lee Hyun-wook that changed.

The eyes of the company members looking at Lee Hyun-wook also changed.

Like this, if you build an overwhelming ball, your position will change.

This is because the most important factor in evaluating people is skill.

***

“Hey!”

Lee Hyun-wook inhaled the drink from the shared refrigerator and ran to the bathroom.

Tongue!

He grabbed the toilet and groaned.

It was because of the burning pain.

The reason is that······.

-Metal absorption is complete. : Devil’s Medal (Inferno)

* Controllable metal weight has been increased. : 499g

By this…

-A’breath room’ is being formed in the stomach. (2%)

* May be accompanied by excruciating pain!

It was because of this.

It was the process of absorbing the demon’s medal and gaining new skills.

The so-called Breath Room, in simple terms, refers to a special organ in the body of a monster that attacks a “breath” that emits something like a dragon.

At this moment, such an organ was being created in Lee Hyun-wook’s body.

‘I’ve been through it once, but this body is still weak, so it’s much more painful.’

The whole body seemed to boil and the stomach melted.

The breath room is a kind of “furnace” and a “combustion engine” like a jet engine.

It was a terrible thing, as it was not easily understood that such a thing could happen to humans’ fragile bodies.

“Oh, uh….”

As he sat down on the floor and groaned, Park Joon-mo’s voice was heard from outside.

“······Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee! Are you here?”

Lee Hyun-wook suppressed the sound and took a slow breath.

“Who… Oh, yes. It’s a bathroom.”

“Ah! Sorry! It is said that the citation ceremony will begin soon. This is the company commander’s order to wait for the rehearsal.”

I also felt the pain added to it in my previous life. This much was tolerable.

“Yes, I’m coming out soon.”

He stood up against the wall.

*** *

“Sorry! Lee Hyun-wook! Thank you!”

With all the company members gathered, Lee Hyun-wook was awarded a citation.

Unlike usual, the battalion commander came out and delivered it.

Pair-Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap-

‘You must be crazy.’

I had a pain like burning my whole body, but I didn’t show off as much as possible.

Perhaps it was because of the reddening of his face, and from around him, I heard that Corporal Hyun-wook Lee was quite impressed, but it was only that much.

The battalion commander opened his mouth.

“You’ve got a lot of rewards for you because you’ve made a lot bigger ball than when the gates occurred in the last quarter. If you have anything you want, you can tell me directly.”

Two achievements within a few days, which resulted in not a few reward points.

‘I can do some shopping after changing to a vacation.’

It seemed that some decent items could be obtained from the military item store.

For now, I thought I had to buy something like a pain reduction potion and suppress this burning pain first.

“Oh, and. Let’s have dinner together. I have something to say.”

“Yes, I understand.”

‘······Damn it.’

Unfortunately, there was no time to buy the potion.

Lee Hyun-wook followed the battalion commander to the executive restaurant.

Staffs were sitting around a round table that would have been found in a Chinese restaurant, and glass dishes were set.

It was a pretty classy atmosphere that didn’t go well with the military, but the food was a little better than the soldier’s restaurant, and it was prepared at a normal level.

“Yesterday, I said I was going to test you, you’ll remember.”

“Yes that’s right.”

Kim Gang-seok raised his coffee cup and looked at Lee Hyun-wook.

He sips over a sip of coffee and sips, then slowly opens his mouth.

“······Appointment as AMT officer, Lee Hyun-wook.”

Again, an unconventional proposal came in.
