After David, a former MMA player who came as a visiting tutor, left the mission, military doctors visited and conducted physical and psychological tests.
I tested it right after I came in from China, but I was going to do it again to make up for it.
It was far from a simple or formal procedure.
It was because they handed out medical records to fill out and took time to talk, and even brought in a portable X-Ray the size of a kimchi refrigerator.
As if it was quite heavy, the male nurses had brought it on wheels.
As I was looking at the heavy machine, I heard Harry’s voice.
“and… It’s amazing, I never thought I’d be treated like this. It is thanks to you.”
“… … .”
When I was quiet, Andrei nodded in response.
“Is the post-processing amazing because Lee’s skills are amazing? When I was in the military or working at a company, only aspirin was prescribed, so I only ate it… I never thought the military surgeons would care this much.”
“… But I’m new to this too. what so far… … .”
I was embarrassed and answered roughly, but Jose interrupted as if he had been waiting.
“No, something similar has already happened, right? There just wasn’t any machine like that. Besides, I thought that this moment would come someday. More moments will come. If it’s your skill, you should be treated accordingly.”
He immediately added a giggle.
“hehehehe, since we are having this experience thanks to him, should I say thank you?”
“sure. I just want to thank my seniors. This kind of treatment is really… … .”
Harry responded with exaggerated facial expressions and actions, but I couldn’t deny that I wasn’t either.
That was right.
Because my ability transcends people.
So I didn’t think it was wrong to be treated like this.
It was just embarrassing to talk right in front of me, but this kind of treatment was never lacking.
In a way, it was a bit late.
Before the invasion of Shenzhen, former MMA players, but military doctors and nurses did not come directly.
Perhaps the video was released, so there was a high possibility that he would pay more attention to it.
It simply wasn’t my guess.
On the way there was something I heard from Ron.
There are other organizations in the US looking for our presence in the video.
Of course, the purpose was the same.
Scouting, business cooperation, invitation, request for support, etc.
In the end, he wanted me.
Fortunately, even though his face or identity was not revealed at all, he was convinced that he was a special operations agent or special forces member in the United States and was looking for him.
And criminal gangs and shadowy groups were looking for me for other reasons.
However, it wasn’t because of that that his shoulders were tight.
Rather, it was embarrassing.
That’s because if you don’t have a colleague, if you’re left alone, what you can do is limited.
Although my ability surpasses them, I couldn’t be without my colleagues.
It didn’t have eyes on the back of its head, and it didn’t have two more arms to cover its sides.
Above all, you need to have people you can trust.
It was only our team.
Around the time I made up my mind as if I was making up my mind alone, I heard a noise outside.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung-
Aye on top!
A roaring sound like breaking the ground and a sharp mechanical sound.
My body flinched reflexively, but I didn’t do anything or say anything.
Because I know what you’re talking about.
swimming pool construction.
It was also in the midst of making an indoor heated pool that could be used in winter.
“Oh, it’s finally starting. You can swim comfortably.”
I laughed out loud at those words.
Because, as Harry said, it was one of my requests.
Of course, it was fine without it, but it was better with it.
So when I asked if there was anything I wanted after arriving, I asked if I could make it.
that was done now.
While Harry continued to speak as if he were trembling.
smart smart
A familiar face appeared with a knock.
“Your order has arrived.”
It was Marcus.
My colleague, who withdrew from the field due to injury, but later moved to an administrative position and played his role.
He continued to stay at the mission, managing half of it.
Even after returning, he greeted me most warmly.
Today, as usual, we greeted each other lightly, but Andrei suddenly raised his voice.
“All passed?”
“Yes, everything came in without being rejected.”
“Oh, what a special treat.”
His eyes were particularly bright, and I could see why.
It was because they asked for several items, including expensive whiskey and brandy, as well as high-quality ingredients to eat as snacks.
He suddenly looked at me and said.
“Maybe it’s because of you, Lee? I should say thank you.”
“No, what… … .”
“Don’t say no, you know what I ordered, right?”
“Is it a bit expensive?”
“It’s not just expensive, it’s filthy expensive. That’s 3 months of my salary. Of course, it might not be a month’s worth for you, but anyway… You didn’t reject it, did you send everything away? for free?”
“… It’s not free, I risked my life for something.”
Andrei waved his hand at my answer.
“I’ve been shooting guns for decades, but I’ve never paid for my life like this. It’s my first time. Since you’re a monster, your life must be damn expensive, but I’m not.”
“I know what you mean, but… … .”
I laughed bitterly.
It was because of the memories of being in the military in South Korea and receiving tens of thousands of won in dangerous work allowance.
‘How much do you want to go up now… … .’
As I was thinking about it, a door that had been closed opened and Rachel appeared.
The figure lowering and rubbing one shoulder as if he had been injected.
she looked at me and said
“Lee, it’s your turn.”
At her words, I got up with the completed paperwork.
Following the training with David who had come this morning, it was time to go get another treat.
There was more than this, but it didn’t show much.
The money was piling up in the account, but it was thanks to the fact that I didn’t have to go on a spree.
I used to spend some money on personal equipment, but now I was paying for all of that from above.
As a result, my bank account has become a savings account for accumulating my salary.
I don’t know exactly how much I have because I haven’t opened an account recently, but I had enough to live comfortably even after buying a nice apartment and several luxury foreign cars in Korea.
It was thanks to the accumulation of this and that, and at least 10 billion units of Hanwha fell asleep.
But that was it.
I didn’t take it out, so it didn’t touch me at all.
While living at the diplomatic mission, I bought things I needed with the credit card given to me by the government, and they gave it to me when I asked for something.
‘If I retire, I’m going to have a luxury, and I’ll have to spend a little bit… … .’
By the time I finished my thoughts with a laugh.
The doctor I was facing opened my mouth.
“Nice to meet you. Please sit over here. I heard that you exercised this morning too… Is that correct?”
“Ah yes.”
The military surgeon, who was lucky with a simple conversation, continued the conversation as if he were inquiring, took a picture with the portable X-Ray he brought, and gave some medicines and advised precautions.
Then, at the end of it, he added a word as if to ask for it.
“ah… And you must not divulge about your condition in peacetime.”
“yes?”
I looked up to see what he was saying, and the army doctor lowered his voice a little more.
“Do you have a cold or a headache or something hurt… Especially those words that make your condition deteriorate. This should only be said to the attending medical officer or when treatment is needed on the spot.”
“… No, should I go that far?”
I asked back at the unexpected words, and the doctor said with the most solemn expression he had ever seen.
“Yes, your information is classified as the second most important level after the President.”
“… … .”
I just blinked my eyes.
I didn’t know that the word president would come out here.
When he couldn’t even reply, the military surgeon continued.
“Simply put, you can refrain from talking about anything related to health. And please wear this at all times.”
Then, the military surgeon held out his wristwatch to me, who only opened his eyes.
Even for brands with the apple logo.
“Why… … ?”
“I heard that it is a machine that encodes and transmits various necessary signals, including vital signs. I said that the details would be conveyed by the superior, not by me.”
“ah… … .”
I received it with admiration without knowing it.
It was a moment that reminded me of the 007 movies I watched when I was young.
“Hey… I’ll put chips or something in my body.”
I was amazed, but I flinched at the answer that came back.
“Would you like that?”
“yes? Oh no… It’s not what I want, it’s what I mean… Will that work?”
“it’s possible.”
He hesitated at the short and bold answer, then asked as if he had lost his luck.
“however… You’re not just an army surgeon, are you?”
When he came in, he introduced himself as an army doctor, so I thought so, but now that I see him, his behavior and gaze are different from those of ordinary doctors.
It was like a well-trained person.
A special forces soldier or agent capable of following along in the field.
I thought maybe I had been trained there, but instead of answering my words, the surgeon smiled.
“It’s over, call the next person.”
“and… It looks like a real movie.”
While I was thinking of the 007 movie again, a nurse with thick forearms standing with her hands behind her back opened the door.
When I left the room, I saw the watch wrapped around Rachel’s wrist.
The same goes for Jake, who was the first to enter.
“and… Captain, didn’t you tell me that?”
“Because you will find out.”
I laughed at the short answer even though I was begging and asked cautiously.
“Is that military surgeon an agent too?”
“maybe.”
While Jake nodded as if he felt the same thing as expected.
Andrei suddenly raised his voice.
“What are you talking about?”
“ah… Um, what should I say… … . That’s why the team leader didn’t say anything.”
“what?”
“You’ll find out when you get in.”
“Looks like you have a secret. Seeing that you also have a watch that wasn’t on your wrist.”
“uh… did you recognize it?”
When I asked, Andrei frowned.
“It looks like that, can’t you recognize it?”
“I’m fine… … .”
Shaking his head, Andrei shook his head.
“You say that watch is out of sight? You don’t fit in with that big guy at all? It’s not a clunky military watch.”
“Yeah, looking at it now, it seems like that… Come to think of it, are you not normal?”
Admiring what Andrei recognized, he looked me up and down and said:
“You don’t seem to be a perfect monster either.”
“The monster is perfect… What are you talking about?”
“hehehehe, I’m talking to you, what are you talking about?”
Andrei spoke, then glanced around the room and said:
“Then, what about the agent, I guess you said it after seeing the doctor.”
“oh… also… … .”
“If you only show that kind of reaction, there’s nothing better. Let’s continue to be together in the future. That is, until one of them dies. Chances are, I’ll die before you.”
“I shouldn’t let that happen.”
When I answered, Andrei smiled.
“That’s a very strong word.”
