Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ (Side Story) Prove it]

“Preparation is everything it’s over?”

In response to Daein’s question, Sosinhan nodded with a calm expression.

Perhaps because of the grueling training he had gone through over the past few weeks, even though the day of the operation arrived, Soshinhan only looked a little nervous and did not appear overly agitated.

Daein nodded in satisfaction at Sosinhan’s appearance, which was calmer than expected.

“Just act naturally as usual. “There is no need for us to worry.”

“…yes.”

Today, So Shin-han was scheduled to infiltrate Red Finger’s headquarters with An Jun.

The great man patted his shoulder and said.

“It’s been a lot of hard work. Let’s cheer up and think that today is the last day.”

“Last time… sigh.”

Soshinhan nodded with a tearful expression, as if the countless days between life and death were passing by like a flash of light.

‘It was a lot of hardship.’

Daein looked at Sosinhan, whose cheeks were sagging, with a slightly sorry expression.

Sometimes it got to the point where I thought it might be too much.

The training process was so rigorous that the guy whose greatest strength was hard work and sincerity tried to give up several times – he even tried to run away at night.

‘Still, I was fortunate that he was more tenacious than I thought.’

Soshinhan, who secretly ran away at night because the training was difficult, always returned to his feet a few hours later, bowed his head in apology to Daein, gritted his teeth and endured the training again.

And now,

“Didn’t I do well to hold on and not run away until the end?”

“Haha…”

Soshinhan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment at Daein’s mischievous question.

As a result of enduring the difficult training, So Shin-han learned how to control his individuality and magical power, with a body as sturdy as a stone stone and near-perfect physical balance.

On the outside, it didn’t look much different from a few weeks ago, but on the inside, it has become incomparably stronger.

“It’s okay to have some confidence now. “It was a short period of time, but I taught almost everything I could teach in that time.”

The great man had a proud expression on his face, as if he was looking at a work of art that had been painstakingly completed.

At that time, Lilith clicked her tongue and spoke next to me.

“If anyone sees it, they’ll think you’re seeing off a child sending off to the military.”

“Do you really need to light a candle in this warm atmosphere?”

When Daein glanced at him, Lilith tapped her watch and said.

“It’s nice to feel warm, but shouldn’t we let it go quickly now? “I understand that you are worried about your one and only student, but if you are late like this, the other side may be suspicious.”

It meant to stop holding on and let go.

But the man looked like he still had something to say.

“For the last time… no.”

I couldn’t help but feel worried.

But I couldn’t keep holding on forever just because I was worried.

Daein said, taking his hand off Sosinhan’s shoulder.

“Go ahead. “When I come back, I will reward you with a generous bonus for all your hard work.”

“…president.”

Soshinhan took a few steps back and bowed deeply to Daein.

“Come on?”

Soshinhan spoke with sincerity to Daein, who opened his eyes wide in embarrassment.

“thank you.”

There was no way that Sosinhan did not know how much of a favor he had received from Daein.

The last few weeks of training were so difficult that sometimes I thought it would be better to die.

It wasn’t the strength of my conviction alone that allowed me to endure it.

‘If it weren’t for the boss…’

Daein interrogated him every night, and if there was something he didn’t understand, he explained it step by step until he understood.

Also, whenever he really felt like giving up, he cheered himself up with old stories about his idol, the landlord, and his colleagues.

One day, Sosinhan asked Daein this.

―Why are you so nice to a guy like me who doesn’t really matter?

The great man thought for a moment, then scratched his chin and said.

-Is it because I feel like I’m seeing myself in the past, when I was living a miserable life? No matter how hard you try, life isn’t easy. I hoped for it every time. If I were given a proper chance, I would try my best.

―…….

Daein chuckled and continued talking as if it was no big deal.

―Sometimes, you get some luck that you can’t handle, and isn’t that what makes life worth living?

Recalling the conversation of that day, Soshinhan looked at Daein with solemn eyes.

“The opportunity given by the boss! “I will never let go and catch you!”

The great man who saw that burdensome look in his eyes was disgusted and took a step back. He waved his hand.

“Okay, go quickly. “I’ve never taught you to say dirty words, so why is it getting worse?”

“yes! “I’ll be back!”

Soshinhan, who grinned, got up from his seat, bowed his head to Daein, and then turned around.

As he opened the door and was about to leave the store, Daein added another word in exasperation.

“…If possible, don’t use what I taught you last night. “Unless it’s a really dangerous moment.”

“yes! Do not worry!”

Lastly, So Shin-han, who showed a bright gummy smile, opened the restaurant door and went out.

The great man looked at him quietly with his arms crossed.

At that time, Lilith and Lily came to both sides of the great man and poked his sides at the same time.

“what. “What did you teach me last night?”

“Special move? Did you ever tell me about the special move? “If there is such a thing, please let me know!”

“…You don’t have to know.”

Daein ignored the curious eyes of the two girls and quietly looked at Sosinhan’s rapidly shrinking back.

Lilith, seeing his complicated expression, smiled and asked.

“why? Are you worried about Shinhan oppa?”

“Of course. “Anyway, I’m the one and only employee.”

The eyes of the two girls who were caught by Daein’s small slip of the tongue were shining brightly.

“Did you just say disciple? Lily, did you hear that too?”

“huh! I heard it too! “I definitely said he was a disciple!”

“It’s officially acknowledged!”

In response to the two girls making a fuss over something insignificant, Daein briefly clicked his tongue and then turned and went into the kitchen.

“Let’s not talk nonsense and eat breakfast.”

Today’s operation is not a single operation.

At the same time that Soshinhan infiltrates Red Finger’s headquarters, Daein will mobilize all available forces to surround Red Finger’s headquarters.

After that, whether it will be an extermination operation or a suppression and rescue operation will be decided after checking inside the Red Finger headquarters.

‘There are still too many uncertain variables.’

There was only one thing of which one could be certain.

After a while, the great man prepared a generous breakfast and served it on the table.

“Eat well now. “Today is going to be quite a long day.”

At his words, the two girls also nodded with serious expressions.

“huh. “But there’s no chicken?”

“If I don’t eat before a fight, I won’t have any strength.”

“…Ugh.”

Daein took a deep breath and called the chicken restaurant.

***

“Everyone is gathered.”

An Jun looked around at the people gathered around him and had a kind smile on his face.

A total of seven people.

The eyes of the boys and girls of all races, all WHA students, were shining with strange desire.

That member also included Soshinhan.

“Then shall we leave?”

Anjun naturally became a leader and led the group.

The name is a friendship trip.

WHA reported that close friends gathered together on the weekend and went on a trip for two days and one night.

However, its real purpose was to bring new believers who had been recruited into Red Finger to the main altar to be baptized.

“Finally…”

“I see him.”

The students, who had been brainwashed by Anjun for a long time, could not contain their excitement about going to Redfinger’s headquarters.

They might have looked suspicious, but Anjun didn’t pay much attention.

‘It will end one way or another today anyway.’

Anjun was trained by Redfinger for quite a long time and was raised to be an excellent spy.

However, after his identity was discovered by Daein, the boy was shocked to realize that he had also been subjected to strong brainwashing.

‘I was just a piece of chess, too.’

The boy who believed that one day he would become a high-ranking member of Red Finger and spread his glory throughout the universe has now become a double agent, bringing a dagger to the headquarters that will pierce the heart of the organization.

At that moment, An Jun and So Shinhan’s eyes met.

Su Xinhan sent a message to An Jun.

-How long is it until the destination?

-We will arrive at the meeting point soon. If you wait there, the priest will come.

―You said you don’t know the exact location of the headquarters, right?

Despite knowing that he was heading into the middle of enemy territory, Soshinhan’s expression was surprisingly calm.

An Jun was a little annoyed by that fact.

-As I said before, I have only been to the headquarters a few times. You cannot get there without the guidance of a priest.

―The person called the priest…

An Jun, who was so irritated, shot back.

-Do it in moderation, right? I understand that you have provided enough information. Or do you want to scare me?

―…….

Su Xinhan stared at An Jun for a moment with an indifferent expression and then turned his head.

Anjun gritted his teeth, glaring at the back of his head.

***

The group crossed a total of four dimensional gates and arrived at the junction.

After arriving at the accommodation known as the destination for friendship travel in WHA, Anjun wiped the fake smile from his face and spoke in a commanding tone.

“It moves, leaving a pile here. “Everyone please follow me.”

“…yes.”

The students who had already been brainwashed by An Jun meekly followed his words.

Soshinhan also mixed in with them and lowered his head.

‘From here on out, you’ll have to think of Redfinger’s eyes everywhere.’

People who looked exactly like the group were waiting at the dorm.

An expressionless face and lifeless eyes.

‘These are dummies.’

This was Redfinger’s method of capturing homeless people, brainwashing them, turning them into puppets, and then cutting off their tails or creating an alibi.

“Follow me.”

The group left their travel itinerary to Dummy and headed to the hotel basement.

After walking for a while down a winding staircase without an elevator, they were able to reach the final meeting point.

-Jeeee…eee.

There, the gloomy gray gate flickered faintly as if it would go off at any moment.

gulp.

Soshinhan swallowed dryly at the thought that he was getting close to the enemy’s base.

‘Illegal gate.’

Anyone who uses a naturally occurring dimensional gate for the personal purposes of an individual or group without reporting it to the Federation could be subject to severe punishment.

What was in front of So Xinhan right now was exactly that kind of illegal gate.

―Jeeeee…eeeee!

After the gray gate gave off an ominous light, a person wearing a deep black hood walked out from within.

“See the priest.”

-thud!

When Anjun knelt in front of the priest, people followed suit.

““Meet the priest!”” It

was dark underground, and the priest’s face was barely visible due to the black hood pulled down deep.

An unpleasant voice came out as if fingernails were scratching a blackboard.

“Raise your head. Are you ready to become His children?”

“yes!”

Everyone answered with confident voices.

The priest looked around at each of them and pointed at one person with a finger as thin as a skeleton.

“Prove it.”

The finger was pointing exactly at An Jun.

“Kill it.”

“!!”

The moment An Jun’s expression hardened and everyone’s bodies froze in embarrassment at the sudden command, only one person rushed at An Jun without hesitation.

-Whisk!

It was a conviction.
