27 – Why did you get discharged?
-Chang~
Lightly clinking glasses, the smell of grilled meat stimulating the tip of the nose
In the meantime, I am three beautiful A-rank hunters.
I drank a glass with Iare, Yu Kwon-soon, and Glass Li Shu.
“Kadia.. good! After all, beer after work is the best!”
“I agree. Vin (wine) is good, but for a cool drink, Bière isn’t bad either.”
The girls chatting while tipping their glasses in a happy mood.
In the meantime, Are was silent for a while while grilling the meat after drinking a glass of alcohol.
“Hey… I’ll do it. You must have been tired from your mission.”
“No, it’s fine. If that’s the case, Jinhyeon will be more tired than me.”
“Ummm..”
A story that cares for me as usual,
But. Regarding this, I told her with a little bit of strength, thinking that this was not a big deal.
“Please, I appreciate your consideration, but I still can’t make someone who has been to the battlefield do this.”
“The one who prepared and commanded the battlefield situation is the adjutant in front of me. We cannot entrust these things to the same person who carried us all on his shoulders.”
“Still, the only thing I struggled with was the mental part, wasn’t it? I’ll do it. Mr. Are just needs to be comfortable.”
“Mental fatigue is more dangerous than physical fatigue. don’t say that Since I was starting first, I will finish it.”
It was a situation that unintentionally got into a bit of a fight, but for some reason I didn’t want to step back from here.
Not just because of pride, but from the bottom of my heart…
It was an action that stemmed from the worry that she couldn’t make her grill meat after having toil hundreds of Abyss.
at that time. Suddenly, I started to feel a strange gaze beside us.
“Hello, it’s not good for couples to fight in a place like this.”
“That’s right. Je suis embarrassé (embarrassing) in the eyes of others.”
“… ”
“Ummm..”
Two people who talk with a little emotion in a light joke.
In response, I had no choice but to step back, feeling as if my face was blushing momentarily at the fact that I had acted a little excessively.
On the other hand, Are, in front of me, also began to try to pay attention to the situation above the fire in silence with her head lowered as if she had just been a little embarrassed by the situation.
Like that, after a moment of silence, only the sound of grilling meat could be heard clearly.
As if trying to reverse this slightly strange atmosphere, Kwon Soon opened her mouth with a lively voice.
“Oh, come to think of it… wasn’t this operation really great?”
“Yes, it really was. I’ve heard that Aide is quite capable, but I didn’t expect him to be this much..”
“It is overrated. This much is something you just have to pay attention to in order to proceed with the battle.”
“Ah, to be honest, that is too modest. If so, are the hunters and lieutenants who are still struggling for days and days are all fools? This is not simply a matter of worrying about something, but the ability of the adjutant is excellent.”
“That’s right. I also worked as a hunter in another area, but it was the first time I had an adjutant like aide.”
“Ah..ahahahaha..”
Receiving an unfamiliar compliment, I smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Of course, the first time I came up with an operation like this in the past, I had a very satisfying and delighted experience myself. It was the first time I had ever received such high praise for it.
In the first place, it was difficult to carry out such an operation in the presence of uncontrollable S-class hunters like Senna,
Even when I used it a few times as a test, I almost got into a dangerous situation by Senna and Eugene, who ran amok, and had to eat it with a gourd for swearing.
In the end, despite its effectiveness, the strategy was half-dead within the Hunter Guild.
In that respect,
The success of this tactic could be attributed to the hunters, including Are, who acted according to my words without any sudden action, even though their combat power was slightly reduced.
“Even though I conceived the idea, it is all of you who actually put it into practice and brought it to victory. In that respect, I would like to thank you all again as an adjutant.”
They acknowledge my ability and admire it.
in their words,
I expressed my sincere gratitude to the hunters in front of me, feeling as if I had been rewarded for the sadness I had suffered so far.
“ah… ”
“Ummm..”
At that time, two people who felt a little embarrassed while watching me like that.
Afterwards, they looked at each other for a while and then carefully asked me.
“As expected.. I don’t understand.”
“Même idée (same thought)“
“Yeah?.. What do you mean?”
At the sudden words of the two people, I expressed a little doubt.
Regarding this, they looked straight into my face and asked.
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand it. Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun is so talented and has such a humble personality, why the hell did he get discharged?”
“No matter how bad the condition of the Armée sud-coréenne (Korean Army) is, I don’t understand. What were the hunters in your unit thinking when they replaced the aide?”
They ask questions with deep curiosity and frustration.
About this. I talked about the biggest part of the reasons that account for 60% of my entire career.
“It’s just… the guild master didn’t like my face because I didn’t like it. I guess that’s why.”
“a… That’s not real.”
“Aide is still not bad, I think.”
“I don’t hate it either.”
It was a truth that could never be said to be true, but
The two of them took it as a joke and reacted lightly.
Unexpectedly, Aree spoke in a slightly serious voice.
‘It’s the reason for the war…’
However, apart from the answer, due to their question, I automatically once again.
I started thinking about why I could come out of that damn place and be here.
*
The reason why I did the military service.
Of course, if I had to point out the biggest reason, it would be about 60% that Sena and other S-class hunters didn’t like me.
As I just said, perhaps the biggest reason was that I didn’t have a good face, but other than that, there were also complex reasons such as my conducting style not matching them.
However, this is only a general background,
Again, the decisive factor must have been that the 28th Guild, despite successive achievements, attracted the attention of the government despite being a late-comer unit.
Watching the progress of the 28th Guild, which was going on a winning streak, the government mentioned the right to replace an aide-de-camp under the pretext of increasing support, and Senna, who was usually dissatisfied with me, asked me about it.
It was a thankful thing from my point of view, but apart from that, I had some idea why the government made such a proposal.
Regarding the reason why it can’t be seen as very neat.
‘It must be part of the generational change, right?’
Although it was an issue that was rarely revealed externally, starting with me, a fairly big change was taking place in the Hunter Guild’s aide-de-camp system.
Until three years ago, most of Hunter’s lieutenants, like me, were from general military academies.
A method of randomly selecting personnel among those who were following the officer route.
Because of this, I, who was originally aiming for a general, ended up in the Hunter Guild unluckily.
But,
Most of the lieutenants who were officers were fundamentally quite different from the military, and in addition, they did not adapt well to the Hunter Guild, which was filled with women with superhuman strength.
Is it similar to how a man can’t adapt to a women’s college?
In the end, there were quite a lot of cases where they were forced to be discharged or transferred to another unit by force, and at some point the government began to devise other means besides the current method.
It was to separately educate and select deputies who professionally manage only hunters, not from military academies.
There was this background in the birth of the so-called elite deputies from prestigious universities.
