Village located outside Deggendorf, Bavaria, Germany.
As soon as the SSE (Sensitive Site Exploitation: information collection) was finished in the infiltrated dormitory-type accommodation, the CIA appeared as if it had been waiting for it.
Timing accurate enough to count in seconds.
The CIA’s operation was just as sophisticated and clear.
While our TF stood on the border, they received SSE data, removed the body, and even processed related traces, but everything was done without any errors.
It was as if they had rehearsed in advance in the dormitory room.
Even in the midst of that, it was time for our TF to be vigilant.
As if it had been sorted out before I knew it, a CIA agent gave a brief instruction in our direction.
“It’s done. Please come back.”
As befits the world’s largest intelligence agency, the tone was cold and commanding, not businesslike.
I feel similar to the NIS staff I sometimes see.
Our TF would do the same, but I thought so too, and sent the CIA without reply, then hesitated.
“Oh, the team leader?”
I was asking because the injured Jake was still there.
Of course, I thought they would take them and treat them, but the CIA was leaving the scene by itself.
As soon as he glanced back at this, Harry opened his mouth.
“The manager is fine.”
“Are you okay?”
No matter how much Jake said he worked his muscles, the opponent was not a childlike weakling.
Well-trained mercenaries.
Even though they were dulled by retirement and playing, they were much stronger than the stout adult men.
Since they were stabbed by such people, it must be treated surgically.
But there was a voice that seemed to be nothing.
“Because I’m fine, prepare to leave first.”
Before I knew it, Jake, who had finished greeting the local Foreign Cooperation Bureau agent, was passing by behind me.
I stopped involuntarily at the sight.
It wasn’t just the words, it was because the actions didn’t seem to hurt either.
It was an unbelievable sight when I recalled that just a few minutes ago, two knives had been stabbed into my body.
‘I’m sorry, but it’s still a knife… … ?’
As if he had heard my thoughts, Harry’s voice followed like an explanation.
“ah… I can’t believe it either, but it’ll be just fine. There are no visible signs of nerve damage. And the bleeding stopped, and the temporary suturing was completed with a skin stapler… I think maybe the impact was offset by the blade engaging the bulletproof plate and the plate fiber structure… … .”
Then he shrugged at me.
“… I thought, but it must be true that the monster-like muscles held the knife. Just like a moose or a bison won’t budge from small-bore bullets.”
Unknowingly, I nodded my head.
It was because the large deer and bison felt more like Jake than most SUVs.
Half-human, half-beast, half-human, half-god.
As those useless thoughts spread, I felt a presence next to me.
While I was on guard outside the window, an agent in charge of foreign affairs in Europe approached nearby.

Looking at it properly, it looked like a person disguised as a taxi driver in the game.
I still can’t remember the name, but he came out of nowhere to shake my hand.
And that too with an outrageous sound.
“Maybe you.”
“… … ?”
I looked at it for some reason, and a leisurely explanation flowed out half a beat late.
“They said they hit Central Africa… The main character of the rumor. Ah, it won’t be a rumor anymore, the truth is right in front of you.”
“ah… that… … .”
“You don’t have to answer. It would be too long to tell, and it would be difficult to tell it all. I’m not here to get your information… I just spoke to you after seeing the results today. No, to be precise… I came here to say that I wish you well in the future.”
We shook hands lightly at those words, but thinking about it, it was worth it.
Since the local agent opened the door, I thought he hadn’t seen me because he had been on the lookout for the second floor in the hallway, but he seemed to have seen me.
No, even if I hadn’t seen it, I could have guessed enough because I was there.

Like the sound, and my movements, in fact, there were many signs that transcended people.
Even if I tried not to, I couldn’t help it.
That way, the chances of living are higher, and the chances of someone getting hurt are reduced.
In particular, if it was a local agent, it would be more difficult to know the situation going back because it was a fast-paced person who ate enough to eat.
So you’re going to have to come over and shake hands and talk.
Our team, which has become immune to my performance, gets used to it and I think so too, but it was clear that it was a surprise enough for someone seeing it for the first time.
His words soon followed.
“Anyway, nice to meet you, no… I must say I was happy. It’s too late to say goodbye properly… Then exit successfully and see you next time.”
“Okay, you worked hard today too.”
I shook his hand vigorously and bowed my head briefly.
It was because he was the person who infiltrated the lodging in advance, delivered inside information, administered sleeping pills to the management staff and regular guests, put them to sleep, and even opened the door.
I was also one of the people who died or were injured while existing as an extra without a name in the Foreign Cooperation Bureau to which I belonged.
So, after greeting the local agent with a little bonding.
started to withdraw quickly.
It was to go out vigilantly in order, climb into a vehicle parked at the rental accommodation opposite, and get out of the neighborhood.
This too was done in an instant.
It was because I received verbal instructions while waiting, and it was thanks to running the simulation while waiting.
The breathing between the team members was also good.
It was time to get in the car and take a breath after moving so busily.
“… Indeed, Lee. I mean the bayonet throw. Did you always throw that well? Like your marksmanship?”
“Oh, that? what… similar.”
I answered roughly.
After all, this was also demonstrated through the effect of the Marksman trait.
And he had never shown great sword throwing.
I’ve thrown it a few times by myself at a small shooting range next to the hostel to test the characteristics in places like Al Jamash, but that was all.
I didn’t try much because it was all about checking whether the characteristics were applied or not.
The great sword was nothing special.
Rather, he devoted himself to shooting.
It was because the important thing on this floor was not the throwing of a bayonet within a few meters, but bullets that could cover hundreds of meters to several kilometers.
So, the situation where the skills that had never been shown or hidden unintentionally were revealed.
Jose’s admiration added.
“I was quite surprised. I thought you were doing a circus. No, it was hard to believe, like your shot. To pick up what I threw and throw it again… Didn’t that also throw two when I threw one?”
I didn’t have an answer to give, so I just licked my lips, when I heard Harry’s voice.
“Are you good at throwing? Seniors?”
“what… do some.”
“You are great too. Can’t you show it to me later?”
“… Stop talking and be vigilant.”
“You’re doing it perfectly, senpai. Then, during this vacation, can I stay with you like I did last time?”
“also?”
“Yes, senior. Seniors?”
It was natural for Harry to call out as if urging him to answer.
“I was a bit crazy, but… Aren’t you going to see your family?”
“Then I’ll come see the family.”
“What about your girlfriend?”
“You will understand. We also promised marriage.”
“This crazy… But are you coming again because you have something to learn from me? Didn’t something happen last time?”
I asked out of curiosity.
It was because there was nothing special when I fired tens of thousands of MK.20s on Uncle Harry’s land.
There was nothing to tell.
I tried to raise him like a successor, but looking back, it was impossible.
What Harry wants, after all, is my sharpshooter trait, because that’s not something I can tell or pass on.
It’s just an ability applied to me.
So there was nothing other than shooting hard together, exercising hard, and just training without rest.
However, I hesitated at the answer that came back.
“There was something different.”
“Is there?”
I was trying to look at it because I wanted to know what it was, but around the time I fixed my gaze through the window in accordance with the given mission.
Harry’s voice continued.
“All of your daily routines were special.”
“what?”
“While serving in the military, I have never seen anyone train as intensely as you did during vacation. No alcohol, no cigarettes, no girls, no common PlayStation games… Isn’t it special that you do such intense training even though you continued to fight during your service period? Just by being together, I can set my mindset, and if I follow the schedule, I too can develop my skills… … .”
When I was young, I naturally laughed bitterly as it led to excessive praise.
Jose’s chuimsae also intervened.
“Hmm, I really envy you. A junior like Harry… … .”
“… Alright, let’s go quietly.”
When I stopped talking like that, Harry’s words sounded like they were ending.
“Okay, then I’ll drop by your house during this holiday and then visit you at your house.”
* * *
USA, Washington DC, West Wing of the White House.
It was the time when the important people who had finished their business came up from the basement conference room, and Robert was also trying to get out of the White House.
“Look, Director Anderson.”
The Minister of Defense called him over and continued with a light smile.
“Before reporting to the President, it would be good to discuss with Director Anderson… Could you give me some time?”
“Yes, when would you like?”
“How are you now? I’m going to see you today.”
“I think it will take about 30 minutes now, would that be enough?”
“I don’t have a lot of time either, so 30 minutes is enough.”
The Minister of Defense laughed contentedly, and Robert agreed without questioning anything.
It was because I had guessed this situation to some extent.
No, I always had that in mind.
‘It’s harder to see Lee and leave him alone. Especially if you have enough military knowledge to understand his performance… … .’
With that thought in mind, Robert looked at the Minister of Defense walking ahead.
He, too, was hoping for Kang Tae.
Although the head of the agency did not move directly as it is now, the CIA also had many cases of contacting behind the scenes, so I knew it very well.
Even the business cards they handed to Kang-tae went well over ten.
I don’t know how many pieces exactly.
In the meantime, fortunately, Kang-tae did not show any interest in the CIA.
So Robert could be calm.
It was because he believed that Kang-tae would remain in the Foreign Cooperation Agency even if the defense minister contacted and conciliated.
And, as expected, several suggestions were handed over.
‘… The purpose is clearly visible.’
Precisely, the means leading to observation, contact, and data collection disguised as permanent protection through military satellites or high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, participation in and observation of various military training, and testing of the latest weapons of the Ministry of National Defense.
But Robert couldn’t refuse.
It was because everything that came out there was helpful to Kang-tae.
In particular, participation in military training and weapons testing were among the issues that Kang Tae-do had requested before, and were also very welcome.
Above all, it will be possible to protect Kang-tae’s body, so he will be able to relieve his worries.
Suddenly, the Minister of Defense continued to speak.
“Anyway, he is an American, and he is a special talent needed by the country… Shouldn’t there be something like this?”
“great.”
“… Are you allowing it?”
“Yes, that’s how you report to the president.”
“ah… … .”
The Minister of Defense was rather taken aback by the answer that came out readily, and then cautiously added an afterword.
“I’m asking just in case… Is the property owned by your institution? So, the developed super soldier… … .”
“no.”
“Didn’t it involve drugs or surgery? at all?”
“Not at all.”
“Um… I’ll get it right now. Then see you next time.”
The Minister of Defense got up.
It was because I didn’t fully believe the answer Robert had just given.
No, I couldn’t believe it.
This was because it was impossible for any member under his command to hit all four shots of a Glock 19 in less than a second at night when enemies and allies were entangled.
It’s the same no matter how many times you look back.
‘I’ll have to find out for myself, what happened… … .’
While the Minister of Defense was leaving, organizing his thoughts.
A bitter smile formed on Robert’s lips as he watched his back.
It was because I hadn’t dissected Kang-tae, but had checked every detail possible, using every possible test.
Naturally, the results were nothing special.
‘There was a time when I was like that too… … .’
