Chapter 12 – You’re No Slouch
The unit is peaceful after the cold weather training. Even the officers did not touch the soldiers at all.
In leisurely peace, December, which hadn’t been long, ended and the New Year arrived. In other words, it was the year that Seo Ju-hwan was discharged.
Seo Ju-hwan thought while smoking.
‘Ah, I want to have sex.’
Whether it was New Year’s Day or being discharged, he couldn’t forget Christmas night in his mind. That night when Jeong So-ra and I intensely coveted each other’s bodies. He wanted to tell Jung So-ra to go and have sex with her right away.
But the reality was grim.
‘I never thought he would be that determined.’
Seo Joo-hwan let out a deep sigh.
In fact, he had already sent a subtle signal to Jung So-ra. But her response was silence. One day, Jeong So-ra took him to an uninhabited place. It was Seo Joo-hwan who hoped that he would finally get through to him, but what he returned was a reprimand mixed with a sigh.
‘What are you doing in the unit? What are we going to do here? I thought you understood me then… Was it my mistake?’
‘…….’
‘Juhwan-ah, you’re not a careless kid.’
‘… Sorry.’
Seo Ju-hwan lowered his head and apologized. To be honest, he wasn’t without feelings of regret, but his embarrassment got even louder.
On the Christmas day when history was made, the two did not just have an intense physical conversation. In particular, in the case of Jung So-ra, she rejected his confession and expressed how she felt about serving in the military.
However, since he was indulging in sexual desire and begging us to have sex inside his military unit, it was belatedly embarrassing. When she came to her senses, he had no face to look at her directly.
‘Ah, I still want to have sex.’
Even so, the problem was that he didn’t change his desire to have sex.
Of course, he didn’t send strange eyes to Jeong So-ra anymore. However, the spirit of a 32-year-old man who had just taken off Adda and the robust body of a man in his early 20s created a synergistic effect. This was instinct before thinking. In addition, the blessing of the dream demon who made him the king of energy was now acting as poison.
Seo Ju-hwan took a special measure. It was intense exercise that he practiced to forget his sexual desire.
“Sergeant Seo Joo-hwan, are you going to exercise again?”
“Yes. Do you want to run too?”
Haha… I’m fine. Let’s fight!”
“OK.”
Seo Joo-hwan devoted himself to exercise after work hours were over. When he wears out his body with intense exercise, his libido subsides. Exactly, it makes me have no power to think like that.
‘At this point, I should make it with a human body.’
Originally, at this time, Seo Joo-hwan became a sergeant and gained a lot of weight due to Do-jin’s laziness and the stress he received from the army. The more you overheat here, the more your health will be at risk. It was a hundred times better for him to lose weight through exercise than to waste his time in the army.
“Whoop, whoop, whoop!”
He circled the parade ground about ten times and leaned against the trunk of a tree to catch his breath. Running too hard with his weight puts strain on his joints. Therefore, he exercised by walking three laps and jogging lightly for one lap.
It was the first week of the exercise when the message appeared in front of Seo Joo-hwan.
[Achievement 『Escape from obesity!』 Has been achieved.]
[300LP will be paid as compensation.]
A shabby reward that is incomparable to the previously achieved [Making a mochi with the boss]. However, according to Lucy’s words, in reality, the main supply and demand of LPs was the achievement of small achievements like this.
Seo Joo-hwan looked blankly at the message and frowned.
“You said I was overweight?”
Of course, I gained a lot of weight, but I had good strength and stamina in my own way. In other words, since the amount of muscle compared to body fat was high, there was no way that he was highly obese.
However, Lucy said as if that was just Seo Joo-hwan’s idea.
[Currently, the owner’s body fat percentage is 29.92. Now I barely escaped Godomiban.]
“… Really?”
[Yes. For reference, the current owner’s height is 171 cm, weight is 87.5 kg, and skeletal muscle mass is 33.7 kg.]
“… There is no need for an InBody.”
Lucy tells even the amount of skeletal muscle. Seo Ju-hwan admired a little, then let out a deep sigh at the state of his body, which was more damaged than he thought. Lucy comforted him.
[If you exercise like now, you will be able to get to a normal weight in no time.]
“Is that so?”
[Currently, the owner is receiving the 『Blessing of the Dream Demon God』 And the 『Blessing of the Hell Spear』 Together, so the efficiency is very good. Not only that, but the karma that was wrongly given to the master has been normalized and he is in the process of continuing to change physically. As proof of that, I grew 1 cm in height and lost nearly 5 kg in weight in a week.]
It’s exactly what Lucy said. I didn’t go on a diet while strictly following my diet, but I lost weight steadily. He also started to grow in height, which he hadn’t grown since he was 17. I never thought that the normalization of karma would lead to physical changes.
“Great. Let’s make it up to 80kg before going on vacation.”
In any case, it was a positive change, so Joo-hwan Seo devoted himself to exercising even more diligently. He gave up the frozen food he used to buy at PX, and kept his own diet.
“Today is the heart.”
He opened the door to the gym and entered. Inside, an upbeat club song thumped.
This was the atmosphere created by a soldier who likes sports and brought his own cassette to create an atmosphere. The soldier was reprimanded by the officers for trying to bring in electronic devices when he was a private soldier. However, he somehow managed to convince them and succeeded in bringing them in. Thanks to this, the number of users in the gym increased, and the average physical strength of soldiers in the Uljin Unit increased.
“Oh, Joo-hwan! Did you come today? You work very hard these days.”
The soldier who made that achievement was Lee Jeong-hoon.
Upon entering the room, he greeted Seo Joo-hwan. Even at a glance, Lee Jung-hoon’s body his, wearing only running shoes, was amazing. His shoulders are wide open and muscles are held all over his body.
Seo Joo-hwan clicked his tongue invisible. After all, the world is unfair. Even though his face is handsome and he has a good personality, he even has a good body.
[The owner can do it too.]
He nodded at Lucy’s support her. Now, about five days after he started exercising in earnest, he had his goal of 80 kg just around the corner. To be exact, he was 1 cm taller and weighed 83.5 after losing another 4 kg.
“Hyung, I’m going to bench, so help me out.”
“How many kilometers?”
Lee Jung-hoon, who had just finished his dips, asked while wiping his sweat. The two of them were now talking to each other and living like brothers.
“Well. Start with 70 and work your way down.”
“Already?”
“Since I turned 60 the other day, I thought it was worth doing.”
“Hey, you are really gifted. If you keep doing it, you’ll hit 100 in no time.”
Lee Jung-hoon opened his eyes round and said. That’s why Seo Joo-hwan’s growth rate was ridiculously fast. Ten days ago, he barely lifted 50kg, but he has already increased his weight by 20kg. He said that as a beginner, he gained weight quickly in the beginning, but there was a feeling that he was too fast.
This was all thanks to the effect of the blessing.
1. Dream Demon’s Blessing (60 days)
▶ Effect 1: Greatly increases luck related to sex.
▶ Effect 2: When you master something, you receive a 200% additional effect.
▶ Effect 3: Energy springs up.
2. Helchang’s Blessing (60 days)
▶ Effect 1: Male hormones rise significantly.
▶ Effect 2: All exercise proficiency increases by 200%.
▶ Effect 3: The recovery speed of muscles increases by 300%.
『Blessing of the Dream Demon』Makes him quickly master his motor skills, and 『Blessing of Hell Chang』Has a great effect on his muscle tone. In addition, the proficiency effect of 『Helchang’s Blessing』 Overlaps with 『Dream Demon’s Blessing』.
I don’t know if I don’t know, but I would change my religion right away if I saw this kind of blessing effect.
Seo Joo-hwan, lying on the bench, warmed up with an empty bar and hung 25kg on each side of the barbell. Since the bar weighed 20 kg, the total was 70 kg.
‘Great. Let’s tighten the pectoralis major muscle!’
He wanted to get rid of his fucking breasts her as soon as possible, as if he had gynecomastia.
Junghoon Lee says, placing his hand on the middle of the bar.
“Come on, I’ll help you so you don’t fall, so lift it up!”
This completely eliminates the risk of injury. Always be careful when exercising.
“Suck!”
Hold your breath and lift at once. And one, two, three… I passed two sets of eight each. This is the final set.
“Six! There are two left. Cheer up.”
“Ugh.”
“Seven!”
“Huh!”
“Eight! Let’s do one more and we’re done.”
Lee Jung-hoon shouted one more. Seo Joo-hwan gritted his teeth and squeezed all his strength.
“Huh!”
“Nine! One last thing!”
“Huh!”
Seo Joo-hwan squeezed out all the strength he had been really sucking on, no, he lifted the tenth one.
However, Lee Jung-hoon shouted again.
“The real last!”
야 이 개새끼야.
*
Tomorrow is the day Seo Ju-hwan goes on vacation in his later years.
The 4th Company has a tradition of working the night shift on the eve of vacation. It was a tradition to consider the remaining personnel due to the small number of people in the company. Instead, they do not set up work on the return day of vacation.
Belt belt. Tiririri-.
Widely.
When the time came, the set clock rang. I immediately turned off my watch so as not to wake others up.
‘Oh, I’m tired.’
Even on the early morning shift, 03:30 is too tiring. When they return from their two-hour guardhouse duty, they have less than an hour left to wake up. Ambiguous time to sleep again. It’s an ambiguous time even if you’re not sleeping and you’re awake. So, it was one of the working hours most avoided by all soldiers in the unit.
Clap. Swoop.
The door to the dormitory opened carefully, and a soldier in combat uniform entered. It is the vigil that came to wake up the next worker. He glanced around the dormitory and met Seo Ju-hwan’s eyes.
“Ah, Joo-hwan, are you awake? Mr. Jung Hoon too… You woke up.”
“Yes. I’m rooting for you.”
“Thanks. Joo-hwan, please work hard too.”
We exchanged good-byes and got up from our seats.
“Hyung, are you ready?”
“Uh. Let’s go down and smoke a cigarette.”
“Okay.”
It’s nice to work with someone who has some free time. Since the preparations are fast, there is enough time to smoke a cigarette leisurely.
The two smoked and headed to the command and control room.
When I opened the door and went in, I saw the watch commander and his adjutant. Seo Joo-hwan looked at the duty commander and widened his eyes.
“Steel. Was Jungdam the duty commander today?”
Jung So-ra was on duty. She saluted with a slightly weary look. She then tilts her head when she sees Lee Jung-hoon next to her.
“Are you two working?”
“Yes.”
“Why are the two seniors on duty?”
Jung So-ra raises a question mark above her head.
Originally, one senior and one subordinate are assigned to work. This is so that the seniors in the shooter’s seat can see and learn from what they are doing. In other words, Seo Joo-hwan, a late-aged sergeant, and Lee Jung-hoon, who will become a sergeant next month, will not be on duty together.
Seo Ju-hwan said with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“This is my last shift, so I’m going to stand with Jung Hoon.”
“Ah.”
Jeong So-ra nodded as if she understood.
Seo Joo-hwan went on vacation this time and when he comes back, he will be discharged without any more work days. Because of this, he adjusted his work day so that he could stand the last duty with Lee Jung-hoon, whom he had seen the longest and had been close with. Of course, Lee Jung-hoon agreed. However, the problem was that she forgot to report to Jeong So-ra separately.
“Sorry. I should have reported it earlier.”
“Hmm. Done. I’ve worked hard so far, but that’s about it.”
Fortunately, Jeong So-ra passed without saying anything. Lee Jung-hoon, who was watching her anxiously next to her, shouted a small yes.
Shortly thereafter, ammunition depot workers to be put in together arrived. The workers received ammunition release and headed to the work place along the input route.
The two men, who entered the gunner’s seat and vice-president’s seat, respectively, put their guns down moderately to avoid the CCTV angle. If I ate this much time, I would know about the blind spots of CCTV.
Lee Jeong-hoon said, leaning on the barracks of the deputy chief of staff.
“Juhwan, you’re already discharged.”
“There are still about 15 days left.”
“What did you say. When you return from vacation, you will be discharged the next day.”
“Hehe. Did you save up a lot of vacations?”
“Vacation? Hmm. To be honest, I was lacking a bit, but thanks to your concession this time, I got some room. Thank you so much.”
The two of them were wary of their surroundings and chatting. Since we had been in the military together for over a year, we had a lot to talk about. Actually, for Seo Joo-hwan, it was 10 years ago.
It was vague, but when Lee Jung-hoon threw a hwadu, it came to mind mysteriously.
While chatting for a while, Lee Jung-hoon suddenly remembered and asked a question.
“How was it when you stayed out? Did you make rice cake?”
At that question, Seo Ju-hwan felt like his heart was pounding.
