55 Episode 55 - Gimpo International Airport, Part II (2/2)

In addition, Kim was not given the rank of Major just because he did dangerous things. They gave him the rank of Major to direct the crowd.

'We have to check his abilities first.'

Regardless, what mattered was how much of a threat Kim could be. 'If he is stronger than I think, I should keep the negotiation in mind. In fact, it is too much to protect the capital area right now.

'Although the land of Bucheon was given to us, we cannot manage it. Moreover, there is no oil from Bucheon, no important munitions factory, and no power plant. If he collects survivors from the land of Bucheon and removes monsters, we are willing to aid him. However, we don't have to show that much so soon.'

”How do I test him rather? We can't use a gun or a sword.”

”Do it with your fists.”

”I think it's better to just fight with a gun. You know what kind of fist I have.”

”Be careful. I want to see his abilities. You don't need to kill your opponent.”

”Yes, I'll keep it in mind.”

Of course, there was no such thing as Oh's defeat in the mind of the Lieutenant Colonel Yoo, who knew there were countless kills behind him.

'This is how things work.'

From Bucheon to Gimpo International Airport, Kim had thought a lot while walking the never-short distance. But he didn't want to take a test.

If negotiation was done as desired, he would only negotiate, and if the negotiations broke down, he would only have to show evidence that he could threaten if threats were necessary.

In the meantime, there was no room for a test, a frivolous act.

'Oh Se-bum.'

However, Oh's appearance shattered all of Kim's scenarios without mercy.

'I don't think he is the same person.' This was the name Kim said clearly in his dream.

'A traitor.'

Kim Tae-hoon of the future spoke clearly to Kim Tae-hoon of the past, who dreamt of himself being killed by a traitor.

And at the same time, he advised, ”Use him.”

'I didn't tell myself to kill him as soon as I saw him.'

It was Kim Tae-hoon himself who knew Kim Tae-hoon best.

So he could believe it. That Kim Tae-hoon of the future included the word ”use” among the few allowed words before he died, had a reason to do so.

'It's worth to use him, so I will use him.'

Furthermore, the current situation showed that Oh plays the same role as an ace of the Capital Defense Command.

It was not difficult to grasp.

- In what way do I test him…

- With fists…

It was easy for Kim to listen to the conversation between Lieutenant Colonel Yoo and Oh from a long distance at the quiet Gimpo International Airport.

The sound of Oh blowing out cigarette smoke in front of Lieutenant Colonel Yoo was clearly heard.

'By Lieutenant Colonel Yoo's tolerance, it means that he cannot help it.'

Lieutenant Colonel Yoo was quite strict. First, the 35th Commandos were not a clumsy organization. It is a unit where only the elite of the elites could be placed, and where someone who became a soldier as a job to eat and live could not be a Commander.

He was not a man who could not readily tolerate a novice who was a subordinate and smoking in front of him.

'Major.'

However, the fact that he, who seemed to be in his mid-twenties, was already ranked Major meant that he has already made the right contributions. There was only one contribution in this world: killing monsters.

'I'll check his abilities first.'

That's why Kim was taking the ridiculous test. At the same time, he also created a benchmark.

'And if I really think he's a threat to me… I will remove him anyway.'

”Hello, my name is Oh Se-bum. My Rank is Major, the same as you. Ah, you're not a soldier now.”

Oh threw his left fist into the air with the words.

A light jab...

But the sound of the wind was frightening. It felt like pulling the trigger of a gun, not a punch. It was already beyond human standards.

”Let's just play the first round of five minutes. Don't be too hard, because we're just looking at our abilities. What's good about hurting each other? If you get hurt, you can't get insurance and a pension.”

Naturally, that punch wouldn't stop him from getting sick and bruised.

Above all, he only fought with his bare hands.

'The purpose is to ascertain what power he has.'

There were no words not to use the powers acquired from the monsters. And that was the point.

What Lieutenant Colonel Yoo wanted was to check the cards Kim had.

And that was also what Kim wanted. He was checking the cards Oh had.

”Now, when we are ready, we start.”

Therefore, neither Kim nor Oh played any games.

”Start!” The moment Oh's voice sounded, he instantly narrowed the distance from Kim and jabbed out his left hand.

The fist that flew towards Kim's nose was swift. Kim did not avoid the fist and raised his arms to block it.

Whack!

Kim's body did not shake at all.

'He must have eaten the monster stones properly?' Oh thought.

The two deduced two facts from this attack and defense. Their Strength and physical Defense were similar.

At that moment, Oh raised the Energy in his gut. His Energy spread to his whole body with the force, and his spirit changed quickly.

The spine of Kim Tae-hoon, who looked at Oh Se-bum through his arms to play guard, also chilled.

'Oh's Energy rank is at least… above B rank.'

When the short thought crossed Kim's mind, the right fist that Oh put out came to Kim's nose. It was much faster than the previous punch. With his basic skills, Kim could not avoid it. So, at this moment, Kim used his Telekinesis to pull his body sideways.

Paat!

Oh's right straight punch ripped through the air and generated its own wind.

The place where Kim had been, showed traces of wind pressure, and the snowfield behind him was blowing around.

'He is going to kill me.'

Kim had enough reason to avoid it urgently. He was tense.

'He avoided my punch by pulling his body with his Telekinesis? This?' At the same time, Oh was nervous, too. He was also willing to kill Kim if necessary. However, Kim avoided the attack easily and was widening the distance between them.

'His Telekinesis rank and skills are no jokes.'

Furthermore, Kim definitely used Telekinesis. Otherwise, such avoidance was impossible.

'I don't know what's going to happen if the distance is widened.'

'It is not a good idea to widen the distance to those who use Telekinesis.'

Naturally, the eyes of the two changed.

The playfulness disappeared from Oh's eyes, Kim's pupils were black.

With that spirit, Oh ran towards Kim, who was widening the distance between them.

Oh's physical ability was strengthened through Energy,and it was virtually impossible for Kim to escape.

It was also practically impossible to avoid all of the punches which Oh would start pouring out from now on with only his basic ability, even if he had the Eyes of Black Snake. Of course, he used his Telekinesis.

'I'll catch him.'

He caught Oh's body with his own Telekinesis and pulled his arms into a chain of Telekinesis.

Gnash!

There was a gnashing sound of teeth from Oh Se-bum, who was doing his best to break the Telekinesis that bound him.

Of course, it was impossible to stop Oh's body completely. Oh's hands repeated a one-two punch. However, it was not too fast for Kim to avoid.

'Okay!' In the end, Oh collected his whole power to strike a clear blow, a right-hand straight, not only to shatter Kim's Telekinesis which tied him up but also to shatter his skull.

Oh's punches, which were pouring toward Kim, stopped.

At that moment, Kim poured out a huge flame as if he had been waiting for this moment.

Fwoosh!! The flame filled Oh's vision, and furthermore, wrapped around his body.

'Fuck!'

The flame clung to Oh's body like sticky liquid. If he left it like this, he would not be able to avoid being burned. He released his Energy all over his body.

Paat!

The flame that stuck to Oh's body was thrown off.

'I'll kill you!' After shaking off the flame, Oh flashed his eyes to find Kim. This was already no test in his mind. He was fully thinking of killing Kim.

'Where is he?'

But Kim was not visible. Oh's eyes turned to the ground reflexively, following the footprints.

'What?'

However, Kim's footprints were not anywhere. At that moment, Oh looked up reflexively as if he had felt something. Kim's right fist, which had turned black, fell on his face.

Oh's memory stopped right there.
