The Returner

“What took you so long? ”

Lee Hyuk made an impression when he saw Seo Ah-young, who is a dacha tree.

“No matter how screwed up this is, how long until it's over, and now that it's over, can you tell me to get ready right now? And who do you think you're talking to? ”

“Then go to work. ”

“ ……. ”

Immediately, Lee Ji-hyuk, who had wrongfully whistled all his logic, came to his place. There was no way that Lee Hyuk had abandoned his duty as a worker who had to go to work.

“Well, it could be. ”

“That burn, seriously! ”

“Calm down.”

Choi Jung-hoon withheld Seo Ah-young.

“He hasn't done that in a day or two. ”

“That's right. I've been feeling a little pissed off lately. I'm gonna flip it over. ”

Lee Hyuk listened to Seo Ah-young's evil talk with one ear and turned on the computer.

“Why is the computer on? I'll be right there. ”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

Lee Hyuk filled his tongue with Seo Ah Young's words.

“Business once or twice. I want to emphasize how important this is and emphasize and commit to mourning, emphasizing that I know how important this is, and I want to spend an hour. ”

“… No. ”

In fact, Choi Jung-hoon, who was planning to do that, flinched.

‘No, if you don't, you'll get in trouble again. ’

It is the pity of the middle management to insult the boss when they nag him, and to insult the boss when they nag him because he didn't let him know beforehand.

I had no choice but to curse, but I couldn't help but hate someone who picks it up and says,

I hate Lee Hyuk, but it wasn't yesterday.

“Heh-heh.”

Choi Jung-hoon opened his mouth, venting the atmosphere with a clear-headed cough.

“Your authorization has been denied. ”

“Approval?”

“Yes, you can train in the United States. ”

“Why would the United States approve me to train you? I have to approve it. ”

“Huh?"

Choi Jung-hoon tilted his head.

That's what I hear, right?

“This, for now, is about training American personnel. Besides, they're criminals, and they train within U.S. territory. ”

“I told you to find out where to train, when to do it in America? If it's close, call all the kids to Korea. You don't even play baseball these days.You can shove it in the playground and train it. ”

It's tempting.

“Tell me a little earlier if you like. ”

He said to Christopher, who couldn't hide his uncomfortable mood because he had no idea at all, that Choi Jung-hoon was unfair.

“Of course I knew that. ”

“… It's my fault. ”

Even though the conclusion of everything in the world seemed to continue to be his fault, Choi Jung-hoon had a hard time finding words to refute.

“Let's cut to the chase. His conversation doesn't cover the situation, really. ”

When Seo Ah-young spoke in a sharp voice, everyone around her also agreed. Unlike his intentions, Choi Jeong-hoon, who was heavily positioned, swallowed up tears again, being so time-consuming.

‘It's not because of me...' ’

Why does no one complain directly to Lee Ji-hyuk? Lee Hyuk caught the tail, by the looks of it.

“However, the U.S. approval has been passed. Instead, we were asked to allow elite members of the U.S. and elite members of Europe to train together. ”

Choi Jung-hoon looked at Lee Hyuk.

“What would you do?”

“No one will stop me if I want to die. Come.”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon was amazed at Lee Hyuk's ability to turn the air around into ice. In short, the NDFs wince at each other with rotten faces.

‘I was going to ask if anyone would leave at the end.... ’

It seemed like the process had to be skipped. If I asked in this atmosphere, I was half ready to leave.

However, someone smashed Choi Jung-hoon's plan head-on. Kim Da-hyun, who is not at all good at understanding the atmosphere, lifted his hand.

“Yes?”

“I have a question for Lee Hyuk. ”

“… Oh, really? ”

Don't ask questions. Tell me you're bothering me.

Unlike Choi Jung-hoon's desperate wind, Lee Hyuk smiled and replied.

“Why?”

“... I'm curious, but is it hard to train now? More than your last training? ”

At that moment, Lee Hyuk began to think carefully.

“Well, that should be easy compared to the training you received last time. Besides, I've already had one. What's the big deal? ”

“Right?"

Kim Da Hyun sighed as if he was relieved. However, Lee Hyuk couldn't have comforted people that much.

“But I hope the training I received last time is not dangerous because I've already done it... ”

"Not dangerous"? ’

It was a miracle everyone came back alive.

The whole group is wiped out in no time.

And that's not dangerous?

It was a quick annihilation.

“I've never had this training before, so it might be a little dangerous. In fact, the concept of mixing ether and magic is already being utilized, but if it has become a proactive utilization rather than a buff shape... Hmm... ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his cheeks.

“Wouldn't it explode if it was hard? Like a balloon?”

“ ……. ”

The office atmosphere became as cold as Antarctica.

“Well, that's as far as it goes, but it's still a dead body. Everyone's so tough, right? ”

Kim Da Hyun smiled and asked Jung-hoon Choi.

“Deputy.”

“Yes?”

“You know what you said last time. Saying that anyone who wants to get out can get out. Is that still valid? ”

“She left the ship. Please join us.”

“… rotten. ”

Kim Da-hyun was unable to find a place to escape. No matter how much I look at it, it's like going to die, but there's nowhere to run.

“Do I have to do this? ”

When Yoon Hyuk-gyu looked uncomfortable, Choi Jung-hoon regained his expressions.

“Dead now, dead later, same thing. ”

“What the hell, man. ”

“Oh, that's not it. However, if we overcome this crisis, we have the possibility of saving the world. Isn't that right, Lee Ji-hyuk? ”

“That sounds a little subtle.... ”

“… yes. ”

Choi Jeong-hoon is now a feeling of desperation. What to do if the party doesn't help.

“Anyway.”

Lee Hyuk opened his mouth at the point when Choi Jung-hoon shouted, "Be as you will."

“You'll be stronger than you are now. The biggest problem we have right now is that we're not dealing with the Demon King, we're not even dealing with the horses down there. ”

“Well……. ”

“A single individual has a way of doing things. Hit the numbers, hit the weaknesses. But if that single entity is in the group, there's no way to target it. In order for Humans to win against the Horsemen, we need people to attack them. ”

“So that's who we are. ”

“No, Alpha. ”

“ ……. ”

“While you guys are doing it, you're doing it together. ”

Has there ever been such a journeying ceremony in history that would discourage people?

Choi Jung-hoon thought that they might be making a history right now.

“Well, let's just get going. ”

“Don't you want to tell me more? ”

“I had a lot to ask for, but I don't remember. Your head is empty. ”

“Alzheimer's? ”

“... If you think about it, it's better to just stick around and clean up after yourself. It's not like I'm not going anyway. ”

To put it bluntly, there was no guarantee that the Alpha side would remain silent as long as it did not cause trouble here. Perhaps this is a rugged pattern, but if you're close to the regular army, you're a group of real criminals dealing with terrorism and destruction.

If there is a problem, it will happen there.

“Let's go, just go. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded his head as Choi Jung-hoon spoke with a blunt face.

“Well, whatever. Oh, by the way, I didn't tell my mom. Is she gonna be okay? Can I make one phone call? ”

“… Yes. Well, of course. ”

What does it matter if you stop calling now?

Choi Jung-hoon's shoulders sagged, thinking about the grand ceremony of the future of mankind. Seo Ah-young patted his shoulder like that.

“You knew this would happen anyway. ”

“That's true……. ”

At the moment when Lee Hyuk was involved, the normal trip ceremony was like flying. I knew enough, but I couldn't help but feel the pain.

After some time had elapsed in an awkward atmosphere, Lee Hyuk came inside with a grumpy face.

“Oh, really! ”

“Is something wrong? ”

“Mom's been buying hamburgers. ”

“ ……. ”

“You think you're going to play, really. ”

In Lee Ji-hyuk's unmistakable menthol, Mother's share seemed to be at least 50%.

‘You're a bride if you think about it. ’

If he was born a man, he would command the world as a general. That's the kind of person who can raise a brilliant human like Yi Hyuk.

Great Contribution to Humanity (?) and Jung-hoon Choi opened his mouth.

“Let's open the gate. ”

* * *

“South Korea has stated its intention to join us. ”

“Europe?”

“We'll use all available teleporters to send people. They should be here soon. ”

“Available teleporters? What's taking them so long? ”

“Many teleporters were sacrificed when we opened the defenses in Germany. Except for the current injuries, there are not many people available. ”

“You're doing great. ”

Christopher stared at the vision with a very annoying face. There was a list of selected people to participate in the exercise.

“I'm good at this, too. ”

I had a meeting about whether training elite American dignitaries with criminal groups was the right thing to do, but now was not the time.

You have to do everything you can. even if it's stretching someone's crotch.

“Does Lee Hyuk know that we were after him? ”

“I don't think I know. And Choi Jeong-hoon said that he wasn't a great person to care about, even though he knew it. Lee Hyuk won't be hostile to the United States as long as it takes. ”

He said, "You have to do it. You have to do it with an Alpha. ”

Christopher sighs and gestures.

“Turn on your vision. What about the training ground?"

“Alpha team is arriving now and waiting for the South Koreans. ”

“You've met her at the top. ”

Christopher sharpened his teeth.

Alpha was a fugitive in the United States, even before the Magic Spot opened. But as soon as the spot opened, the position rose dramatically, and now the US government is becoming an untouchable herb.

“You've done the rest of the business. ”

It may not have been aimed at this, but it was an Alpha that took advantage.

Christopher sharpened his teeth watching the Alpha's vision unfold.

“It won't end this way. ”

His eyes burn unevenly.
