Ji-hoon does his exercises and looks at his sword at the same time.
Only 3 days left until I have to break those guys' heads.
Ji-hoon gets up and walks to the lake and looks in.
I'm dying of thirst, I can't drink the water in the lake.
Ji-hoon's tongue is completely dry, and his throat is starting to hurt.
I can't help it anymore.
Ji-hoon is about to drink from the water but stops and gets up from the floor slapping his face hard remaining with a mark.
I have another idea than drinking this water.
Ji-hoon puts his shirt around his mouth like a mask then puts his hoodie on and hides his sword inside his hoodie, making it more uncomfortable because the blade of the sword makes direct contact with his skin.
I'll go to a store to buy water and then somewhere to buy a sheath for my sword.
He walks carefully so as not to cut himself with the sword. Eventually he arrives in the city where he sees posters of himself everywhere and even when he gets a little further ahead he sees his picture on a big screen.
Damn, they've taken it to the extreme already with their desire to see me dead, but at the same time my desire to kill them has grown significantly greater.
He pulls his hood over his head and continues to walk with his head in the ground as people walk past him.
I don't want to kill citizens, I've already killed one and I don't want to kill any more innocent people even if they deserve it for their incompetence, people are brainwashed by money.
He finds a supermarket so he goes in and looks for water, finding the water cooler he gets a large water and pays for it without making contact with the cashier.
The cashier looks odd but scans the water and ignores Ji-hoon's strange behavior.
"Seventy-eight rubles or pay by card so you can pay."
Ji-hoon doesn't say anything and takes out his wallet and then his card and pays and takes his water, walking out of the supermarket he goes to a safer place where there are no people and pulls his hood down from his head, drinking the water quickly, the water runs down his mouth and he wipes it off after he finishes drinking the water.
Now I have to buy a sheath for my sword and from here I can only stay out of town until at least June 5 to avoid killing civilians.
Can I still find something like that in 2291? I mean come on weapons have evolved over the years so I still can't explain why swords are still used for attacks.
He walks down the street and thinks about where he can find a shop to buy a sword sheath.
It must be at a special shop for one but where could I find one?
Ji-hoon sighs and walks on.
I need to find a place for such things.
He lifts his head and reads a sign.
Guns, swords, knives and grenades.
Bingo!
Ji-hoon goes inside and looks for a perfect sheath for his sword.
However, he sees some strange weapons, in addition to the already existing and known ones there are others with strange shapes and emitting lasers.
Ji-hoon puts his hand on one such weapon to observe it and at that moment an employee says to put that weapon down because it's dangerous.
"What's so dangerous about it?"
"It's a laser weapon that can melt anything instantly, including titanium."
Ji-hoon looked at the guy strangely.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"Then why do you keep it for public eye here?"
"That's a model that has no energy in it, it runs on super high energy voltages that aren't present here"
Ji-hoon looks at this guy even more strangely noticing that he doesn't have a badge that he works here.
"I just warned you about that."
"Ok"
Ji-hoon remembers what he's looking for.
"I need a sword sheath."
The man turns to Ji-hoon and asks him what sword he needs a sheath for.
Ji-hoon turns so he can pull his sword out of his hoodie managing not to cut himself with it by accident.
"This model."
The man takes the sword in his hand and inspects it.
"Cold steel, an extremely old model, how did you get hold of such a rare model?"
"I found it on the ground and I said I'd take it"
Ji-hoon totally avoided saying that he killed a group that wanted to kill him and that's how he got his hands on this sword.
"This model, on the street?! It really was your lucky day"
Ji-hoon looks at the sword and at the man at the same time and starts to sweat feeling that something is off.
"So do you have a sheath for this model or?"
"Ah, I think so, I'll go and see, you can come with me if you like"
I don't want this sword to disappear so I'm going to go with this guy and see if he has a sheath for this model.
"Okay, I'm coming with you."
"Good, follow me"
Ji-hoon follows the man, walking into a room behind the desk.
The guy starts looking through tons of boxes for a sheath for the Cold Steel model.
With so many boxes we'll never find what I want.
Ji-hoon sighs and looks over at the guy searching through the boxes.
"Aha, there you are."
The guy pulls out a sheath exactly for the Cold Steel model.
Turns out I was wrong.
The guy puts the sword in the sheath and hands it back to Ji-hoon.
"Quick question, what's your name?"
Ji-hoon stiffens in place hearing that question.
"Why do you want to know my name?"
Ji-hoon is ready to run out of the store.
"As a helper and store owner I want to know who I'm giving access to a sheath for a white weapon"
Ji-hoon is silent for a moment, just looking at his sword and his feet.
"My name is Ji-hoon, just Ji-hoon."
He's ready to run but the man calmly replies.
"Ji-hoon? The one the Russian police are looking for?"
Ji-hoon's heart stops in place for a few moments as he hears what the man said. He avoids answering but the man insists on finding out the answer.
"I don't know what you're talking about, maybe it's another Ji-hoon."
"No, you know we're in Russia and not South Korea"
Ji-hoon stays silent and doesn't say anything else, he doesn't feel afraid but he feels quite uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I hate the world we live in now too"
"What?"
"Yeah, I'm not going to turn you in because I hate being manipulated by money anyway"
Ji-hoon feels relief but is still cautious and prepared for whatever is about to happen next.
"You can go, the sheath is from me, watch out for the police, avoid places where the police frequent like markets or intersections"
"I didn't expect anyone to help me"
"Remember, always out there somewhere, there is one or more people who will help you"
Ji-hoon says nothing and just walks away, the man staying behind.
Ji-hoon looks at the sheath and puts the sheath on his back.
Now the adventure for power really begins.
Currently 2300.
Soo-min slams hard into the bag and knocks Min-ji down.
"How do you hit this bag so hard?"
"I don't know either, possibly it's a skill I've just discovered"
Soo-min helps Min-ji up from the ground and smiles at her, to which Min-ji smiles back.
"It's my turn to hit the bag"
"Okay, okay."
Soo-min laughs.
Soo-min gets behind the bag and Min-ji kicks the bag, hits it hard but still can't hit as hard as Soo-min.
Mr Kim's voice is heard over the loudspeakers.
"Hello everyone, I am announcing that as of tomorrow you will be leaving the organization in 3 bands of 10 members"
They all look strange hearing this but they were also happy to finally be able to get out of the organization.
"We can get out of the organization?"
Soo-min and Min-ji are distraught upon hearing this announcement and don't feel happy about being released to any extent but feel fear.
"As you know, the monsters that were frozen in the aftermath of the war have escaped their icy prison and are walking free on the outside, I want to tell you that I will not consider possible further deaths"
The voice of Mr. Kim fills the rooms again but this time with his announcement he scares everyone.
"Further deaths...?"
"Mr. Kim is joking, right? Is that right Soo-min?"
Soo-min has a pale face trying to process what she just heard.
Min-ji shakes Soo-min to wake her from her trance.
"No..Mr. Kim isn't kidding at all.."
Tears stream down their cheeks.
"Mr. Tanaka, we've received some messages from South Korea headquarters about a boy named Song Ji-hoon being sent back in time to save the world from their claims"
"Thank you for telling me Haruto, however I already know that Kim did this with this boy even though I clearly told him not to do it under any circumstances"
"And shouldn't we intervene? After all we are an organization at least on paper united"
"We will intervene when necessary, I would still like you to keep me informed of what that boy is doing in the past if you have access to this information"
Hatoru's panel appears in front of him.
[Information about you]
Name: Yamamoto Hatoru
ID Number: 0389
Abilities: Timeline tracker
Blood type: B
Allergies: None
Physical Condition: Perfect
Rank: Class 2
Previous missions: Antarctic Ocean
Tech Rank: 7
He presses several buttons.
"Mr. Tanaka, this boy is in Russia on a mission to exterminate the first enemy that led to the destruction of the world, he is still training for a possible additional mission"
"Thank you for the information Hatoru, keep me posted in the future on what this boy is doing"
"Of course Mr. Tanaka, have a nice day!"
"You too Hatoru"
Hatoru walks out of the room.
This Song Ji-hoon boy, what's so special about him that he was sent to the past? Maybe there's something magical about him.
"I have communicated this information to you so that you know the consequences but you cannot oppose this rule"
Mr. Kim's voice fills the room again.
"Can't we oppose it? What kind of joke is this? Are we a united organization or not?"
"Next I will tell you who will go outside the organization for tomorrow"
They are all sitting perfectly silent, scared of being called out for their first outing, and some can't wait to be called out.
"The team consists of Ahn Min-ji, Kang Soo-min...."
That's all it took for them to hear that they started crying worse.
"Followed by Oh Donghae, Yoon Minho, Han Seung-min"
These three are shocked to hear this but the only one who isn't scared is Yoon Minho.
"Also followed by Jeong Yeji, Baek Yohan, Lee Junho Lim Haeun and Cho Taemin"
"This is the first group that will go outside the organization to tell us what's going on there"
All the appointees are shocked, the most shocked being Soo-min and Min-ji
"Is this thing really real?"
Min-ji looks at Soo-min shocked.
"It's...it's real."
I'm ready, for an intense fight.
Ji-hoon looks at his sword and cuts a piece of iron with it.
Let's see what you guys can do to me.
Ji-hoon's eyes glow bright red.
Mr Alexei grins as he looks at a timer he has set on his phone.
Two more days, and you'll die, Song Ji-hoon.
At that moment he receives a phone call.
bzzz-bzzzz
Mr Alexei answers.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Alexei, it's me, Voronin."
Mr. Alexei grins and a white light appears in his eyes.
"Is something wrong Voronin?"
"No, I just wanted to let you know that we are ready for battle."
"Good Voronin, I can't wait to see what your special mind and powers can do"
Mr. Alexei hangs up his phone and sits in silence and the room goes completely dark, no small light is present inside the room where Alexei is or was.
I'm looking forward to the moment you die, Song Ji-hoon, even if I don't kill you, the other gods will surely do it.
