Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Inside the gym now became quiet. At Yi-hyeon’s display of force it went beyond cheers and exclamations to shock.

And they could not believe at all what they just saw in front of their eyes. Even with eyes completely covered he knocked down Delta agents.

That too unilaterally.

Too overwhelming so it seems like actors moving according to a well-made prior script.

General Jimmy Kruger slowly stood up from his seat and began to clap.

Clap clap clap!

At first he began clapping alone, but soon most of the people in the gym stood up and clapped.

Clap clap!

Clap clap clap!

“Master!”

“Master!”

Here and there they called Yi-hyeon master and stamped their feet.

The gym heated up hotly.

“Wow! Yi-hyeon, really amazing!”

Amy McGregor who was on the platform also stood up and cheered while jumping.

“Damn, first I have to finish quickly.”

Herbert chewed his lips and approached Yi-hyeon. And with a deliberately exaggerated expression he raised both arms and said.

“Really amazing, Sergeant. I cannot believe my eyes.”

Yi-hyeon handed the eye mask and hood to him who approached and smiled slightly.

“Thanks to you I loosened the body well.”

Herbert grabbed Yi-hyeon’s arm and continuously admired. Now it was already late to downplay Yi-hyeon’s martial arts.

At times like this one should rather greatly praise the opponent. Because that way from the position of being hit it is less embarrassing.

* * *

Anyway after the sparring ended, Amy McGregor stuck tightly to Yi-hyeon and does not know how to fall off.

“So, um Yi-hyeon is now 21 years old? Then 3 years younger than me. Anyway I, don’t care.”

What doesn’t care?

She does not care whether Yi-hyeon’s expression is dumbfounded or not and tightly holds the arm and does not let go.

“Um, Miss McGregor? Let’s put this down for a moment and talk.”

Holding the arm so tightly one feels other things!

Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho who had changed back into formal uniform and was standing beside somehow found it funny and smiled and stepped a few steps away. Yi-hyeon of course also has the medal attached on the chest of the non-commissioned officer formal uniform.

Since there is the sincerity of the person who gave it one should wear it for about a day.

Now they were about to gradually return to the hotel which is the lodging, when from that side General Jimmy Kruger approached.

“Captain, Sergeant. Now the schedule in the US has ended right?”

“Yes, that’s right, General.”

“Yes.”

Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho answered sharply seeing the general, but Yi-hyeon just answered loosely.

It’s not even a Korean military general what.

“That, I have something to propose. Please stay two more days. Sightseeing here and there. Of course I will take responsibility for all additional expenses.”

Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho became a little troubled expression. It is not a problem of the US military side but they have to return to Korea and return to the unit. There is all a set schedule.

Seeing Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho’s expression General Jimmy Kruger quickly said.

“Ah, I will get cooperation from the Korean affiliated unit. Haha.”

Yi-hyeon sighed inwardly.

Perhaps because he is a US military general he talks too easily about getting cooperation from the Korean unit. As if an expression of ‘I’m going to do it what will you do’ so inwardly the mood is bad.

Anyway the two people unexpectedly received two days of leave. So they decided to sightsee downtown Richmond.

But before that Yi-hyeon could send the persistently following Amy only after promising that when he comes to the US next time he will definitely contact. When parting even though her father Congressman Ewing McGregor was looking blankly beside she ran at Yi-hyeon and gave a radical kiss so he broke into a cold sweat.

Isn’t this getting marked by a powerhouse of the US House of Representatives?

* * *

“Has the analysis still not ended? When did we hand over the materials.”

At General Jimmy Kruger’s shout the command was all on emergency. Now all analysis agents are rushing in and analyzing the actions performed by Yi-hyeon and Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho in second units. They were especially focusing on all of Yi-hyeon’s movements.

“That, turn that slowly.”

“Yes.”

At Herbert’s instruction the subordinate answered shortly.

On the screen the action when Yi-hyeon first faced two people was coming out. Whether they used an extremely good camera the picture quality was clean like watching a movie.

As soon as Yi-hyeon took one step he surged right up to the Delta agent’s eyes, and from that place slightly sat down and stood up while a light uppercut.

The Delta agent’s chin briefly clacked, and that was it. But what was the result. That agent could not wake up all day that day. The military doctor who diagnosed that agent said the inside of the brain was severely shaken so he has to be hospitalized for more than a week.

In short, the chin is fine but the damage received by that chin was transmitted to the brain and shook the brain all over.

“Krum. Is that possible?”

Herbert groaned.

He too during his time as US military in Japan had invited a famous karate master of Japan and trained hard. That instructor evaluated Herbert saying among foreigners he had not seen a person who became master level of karate as quickly as you.

But even he cannot know the principle of the movements Yi-hyeon performed in front of the eyes. It is a completely different dimension.

“Huu. Analyzing further than this will be useless. Well, organize only the materials so far and submit. I will report to the general.”

“Yes.”

They turned the organized materials again in front of General Jimmy Kruger. Compressed into about 5 minutes worth, but in fact there was nothing more to compress. Because Yi-hyeon’s actions ended that quickly. Eyes open two people. Then eyes closed 12 people.

To General Kruger who was still keeping silence Herbert briefly briefed. The scene where Yi-hyeon finally stamped the floor and vibrated the entire gym and afterward calmly handled the remaining four people as if catching sick chickens rose last on the screen.

“This person is one who has mastered the mysterious Eastern martial arts that has not been known until now. This is not explained by modern physical laws or laws of motion. ···That is all.”

Since it was an attitude of please speak now Jimmy frowned for a moment.

“Yes, that person, well from now let’s call that person Baby. If our Delta learns the martial arts that Baby has learned what will happen? If that is possible.”

“······.”

Herbert was silent for a moment. It seems he has not thought about it. But today he has to answer. Seeing it the General Kruger in front seems full of dreams.

“If the current Delta agents can follow even half of this, Baby’s martial arts··· that power will without question become the best. There will be people who say what is that talk in modern warfare overflowing with good performance firearms but my view is different. If mastering such techniques the physical ability also becomes the best so naturally the skill of handling firearms also becomes the best. There is no room for doubt.”

Jimmy Kruger nodded as if to continue.

“But, I assert we will not be able to learn that technique. Even if the general lays the board so that Baby can teach that technique to us.”

At Herbert’s words General Kruger’s brow furrowed.

“What is the reason? Are you saying our agents’ level is that low?”

“That is not it. Our agents’ level is by far the best. But this is not such a concept. The karate I learned when working in Japan I have been training until now, but Baby’s martial arts is a completely different level. This is a secret technique, that special techniques can only be learned by special people··· that meaning.”

General Kruger who was listening sighed.

“Would there be no slight upward effect? Even receiving direct teaching from Baby.”

At the general’s words Herbert quickly received the words.

“That is not it, General. That technique will have effect as much as learned. If only Baby sincerely teaches. Only the fact that no one will reach that Baby’s level is true.”

“That cannot even be hoped. I understand. Go out.”

“Yes.”

The conclusion was decided.

* * *

To the two people who were having a drink at the bar before sleeping after enjoying the unexpected leave and returning to the hotel contact came.

“At a late time···.”

Looking at Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho receiving the phone Yi-hyeon grumbled. Because who called was obvious without even looking.

“They say come in tomorrow morning. General Kruger.”

Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho who hung up the phone said.

“Let’s go, what. Now the US trip is also ending. Next time when coming I should go see some cool places. Here is countryside so there is nowhere to see,”

Looking at Yi-hyeon speaking indifferently Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho smiled.

Looking at this guy the famous general of the US special operations command is thought of just like the neighborhood convenience store uncle.

* * *

Next day morning. General Jimmy Kruger’s room.

“That is impossible.”

Yi-hyeon said bluntly.

He cut so bluntly that the back of Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho who was listening in attention posture beside itched.

“Huh? No need to think difficult, Sergeant. The sergeant comes to study abroad at West Point and when there is time briefly teach. The form well, set it as about external instructor. I guarantee the sergeant will receive much more compensation than thought. Of course US citizenship is a bonus, yes.”

This uncle more and more.

Who said they want that damn US citizenship?

“I don’t want to.”

Saying that Yi-hyeon closed his mouth. Because it was bothersome to speak long.

“······.”

General Jimmy Kruger’s proposal looked simple outwardly.

He will use his hands, so during the remaining period of the military make it as studying abroad at West Point of the US, and during that period teach martial arts to Delta agents.

Yi-hyeon of course refused. Why should I do that?

General Kruger who was blankly looking at Yi-hyeon for a moment seems to be gradually getting heated. He explained long with effort, but cutting with one stroke so continuing to speak is also funny.

Kruger has not seen many people who speak in this way in front of him after he became a general. Except for his divorced ex-wife and superiors.

He who was about to say something moved his mouth and stopped took out the cigarette placed on the desk and bit it and lit it.

“Look at this, Sergeant. The sergeant is still young so seems not to know the situation well, but world affairs do not turn according to one’s own will. This time just return to Korea, but I guarantee we will see each other often,”

Later it was words said smiling round and round so Yi-hyeon became in a bad mood. And smelling the strong cigarette smell is also a hardship.

Yi-hyeon stood up gathering and said.

“I will return now.”

Following Yi-hyeon Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho also awkwardly stood up from the seat.

“Then, I also···.”

Damn, when together with this guy sometimes a feeling of becoming a fool arises. That too often. Since he himself received even the medal the US military gave he somehow becomes weak in front of them.

Yi-hyeon and Kim Cheol-ho returned to Korea that way, but the situation was not ordinary.

First according to rumors coming in Colonel Im Gi-yong the commander is frequently called to the army headquarters and comes back.

“Hey, youngest. They say the commander was called to the army headquarters yesterday too and came?”

Now Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho who became fellow sufferers and together reverse battle comrades (?) heard the upper atmosphere from somewhere and conveyed. He is also from the Military Academy so he would have connections.

“Dragon is called again and comes? Somehow that Jimmy seems to be bothering.”

“This bastard’s way of speaking··· anyway soon something seems like it will burst from above.”

Dragon is the nick the cadres secretly call Commander Im Gi-yong, but Jimmy is a full US military general.

As Team Leader Kim Cheol-ho’s words something was moving from above. At the center of course there is Yi-hyeon.
