Chapter 33 – [What Is Life, Just Live as You Live]

When Baek-ri returns home, Ruri comes out to meet him first.

“Chicken!”

“Hey, if you eat like that, you’ll get fat!”

“I study as much as I ate, so it’s okay!”

“What kind of chicken delivery man do I look like?”

“Mister, how much is it? Is it a card? Did you bring a coupon?”

“Not for sale!”

The story was like that, and as they giggled, Baekri handed over the chicken and Ruri received the chicken.

There are many houses where siblings fight and fight, but there are also houses where they are on good terms. In the case of Baek-ri, he tends to be generous, so he is somewhat on the good side.

But these days, the purpose is mostly chicken brought by Baek-ri.

“You guys are getting fat. You should eat less at night.”

“One chicken is a little bit for a high school girl in her prime. Mom”

“I can’t use it if I eat too much oil”

“Chicken is a perfect dish that contains carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, so it’s okay.”

Ruri’s mother shouted at Ruri, who was eating chicken at night, but she was of no use. As a rule, adolescence is the strongest, and men tend to come out with sexual desire and women with appetite.

“Hey, Ruri. I understand fat because it’s fried in oil, and protein in chicken breast, but where are the carbohydrates?”

“In tempura”

“Is that a carbohydrate?”

“In the US, pizza is called a vegetable because it has tomato sauce in it.

“How can you not say a word?”

Certainly, if you look at the ingredients of things like tempura flour when making fried batter, the carbohydrate content is high. This is because it contains grain ingredients such as flour. However, if you look at the proportion in chicken, it is the lowest.

Baek-ri ate at most one or two pieces. If you fry chicken all day long, you won’t get an appetite just by smelling the oil. Even so, she ate the breast and gave all her legs to Ruri.

“Ah, that’s right. Come to think of it, the broadcasting station asked if it was okay to come and film today.”

“Really? Which show is it on?”

“VJ Special Forces”

“Isn’t this program outdated these days?”

“Didn’t you see them often when you were little?”

“That’s when I was young. Looking at it, I don’t think the ratings are that high.”

Long-term programs are like that. The older the program, the lower the material, and then the ratings inevitably drop.

Of course, if you broadcast for a long time, there will be a lot of fixed viewers, but compared to today’s entertainment programs, it is not very popular.

After finishing the chicken and cleaning up, it was close to midnight. Both Ruri and Baekri have to go to bed to wake up tomorrow morning, but neither of them went to their rooms.

“You’re not sleeping”

“How about it, let’s study some more and then go to sleep.”

“Not sleepy?”

“Isn’t your brother the same?”

If there is one good thing after awakening as a force user, it is that the body does not get tired easily.

His metabolism improved several times over that of ordinary people, and his stamina and strength increased. So even if you sleep for only three or four hours, you can wake up refreshed as if you had a good night’s sleep.

Baekli, who had just awakened as a Force user, felt the same way, but it was even more so with Luri, who had awakened a long time ago.

“Since I only sleep for two hours a day and study, my grades have gone up, so it’s a good thing”

“It’s cheesy, it’s cheesy. Isn’t that a foul?”

“All you have to do is awaken the force user”

“You’re cheating because you can’t”

Studying becomes the easiest thing in the world if you have better memory, stamina, and resilience than ordinary people. I don’t say that I can understand the whole process in one day, but I’m certain that I’m a few steps ahead of others.

“The boss said you’re stronger than me, is that true?”

“Then I ate more of the force user time, but am I weaker than you?”

“You didn’t receive anything except basic education just like me, did you?”

When you become a force user, you basically receive a basic curriculum for force control from the country. Because if you roam the streets with uncontrollable power, it’s no different than a bomb.

Even if you do not belong to the state, you must receive basic education. They don’t teach much, only training at the level to acquire basic physical strengthening abilities. Beyond that, you have to enter a full-fledged training center.

“If you fail in the CSAT, you should just think that you went to college and do something with your body. I heard that force users are welcome in the construction industry.”

“I’ve thought about that as well…But I heard that I can’t go up to a managerial position, so I have no prospects.”

When a force user with stronger power than others goes to a construction site, he can carry heavy materials even where equipment cannot enter. Thanks to this, Force users have high wages in the construction industry, but that’s all, and there is no safety. It’s just that even Force users get hurt less at construction sites, it’s not that they don’t.

In addition, because you have to use your body yourself, you can’t do a position in the management system. Because there is no fool who would give a wage that is several times higher and put him in a position where he could not use his power.

It is the only industry to enter with the expectation of high wages.

“But what’s going on? If it’s a typical reason like ‘I want to be strong’, I’d like to wipe my feet and go to bed.”

“Sir, do you use mind reading? Do you have any mental characteristics?”

“I’ve been living with my brother for almost 20 years, but if you pretend, you’re close.”

“… Hey, how is it a bit dirty to compare?”

“High school girls like naughty things too. More than men think. Where do you get the idea that high school girls are innocent?”

“No, at the point of becoming a high school girl like you, all hope was abandoned on the day of your entrance ceremony.”

“I should have abandoned my older brother’s virginity the day before enlistment. It’s strange, but I won’t tell you to go, but I wish I had a girlfriend.”

“Hey!!”

I gave it back and received it verbally. When Baekri fights with Ruri, most of them go to a fight, and there are some that Baekri takes care of, but there are also those that Ruri can’t win because she’s very talkative. No, it was mostly the latter.

“But what do you want to ask? Do you want to ask something like how to become really strong?”

“Yes”

“Why?”

“Uh… It’s just nice, isn’t it? I’ve awakened as a Force user, but it’s good if I get stronger and don’t get hit somewhere.”

“I don’t know what it is like then and now because there is a difference of almost 10 years. Oppa also heard about it when he was receiving basic training, right? To awaken as a Force user, you need to have a strong emotional change.”

“I think I heard it, but…”

“Sibel, I heard it in the first class, so I still remember it, but I can’t remember the oppa I heard it a few months ago?”

“……I fell asleep.”

“Honestly, the first class is a theory class, so I’m sleepy. Anyway, there is a time when oppa wakes up, right? What did you think?”

Baekli recalled that time that he still remembers.

A dozen years ago, hostile species emerged from a dimension quake that was unexpectedly created by a dimension quake detector that was not yet properly prepared. While running away from them, Ruri awakened as a Force user and barely survived.

I was young, but the memories are vivid. The sight of the kid from the apartment building next door, whom we were playing with just before, being ground up by the teeth of an enemy species and pouring out his intestines on the floor, was not a metaphor, but a real one, to the point of peeing in his pants.

In fear, all Baekri could do was take Ruri nearby and run away. He knew he would be caught and killed soon, but it was something he had to do.

The moment just before death. On the contrary, Ruri awakened as a force user and rather she saved Baek-ri, but she was never as desperate as the feeling of helplessness at that time.

It’s the same when he wakes up.

In order to save his father who was left at the scene of the fire, he shook off the helplessness and despair in his heart and got up. The change in emotion at that moment awakened him as a force user.

“I was similar. At that time, I couldn’t forget even if I wanted to forget. I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do, but I remembered my brother taking me and running away. Woke up”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard this from you…”

“That’s not a good story.”

It wasn’t a story that the two people wanted to forget easily.

But now, both of them were Force users. A consensus was created to understand each other.

“Looking at my brother, I think he can do well even if he belongs to the country. He’s kind, so he’ll do well even if he gets bullied anywhere. Even if he’s not in the anti-species response team, you can join the same force user crime response team or the original-type disposal team.”

“The crime response team is difficult because the hurdles are high. Dealing with people is the same. The competition rate for the original species is high.”

Not all Force users belonging to a nation deal with hostile species.

First, the Crime Response Team. This is an institution for arresting people who commit crimes as fellow Force users. Force users are what enable people who are likely to die tomorrow to have more power than professional martial arts players, so only the same force users can arrest criminals. Usually, there is one team at each local police station.

Unlike enemy species, force users seem to be able to arrest ordinary people through modern firearms, but even if they have guns, it is difficult for ordinary people to deal with force users. I don’t know if it’s the military.

It’s the same reason as giving them a gun and asking them to catch a tiger. Innately different. No, because humans have knowledge, they are more terrifying than tigers.

At least the tiger won’t go after the family of the person trying to capture it and kill it in retaliation.

“The original species disposal team is a sweetheart.”

“Is not it?”

It has been 20 years since the appearance of the enemy species and the Gaia Force revealed to the world.

It wasn’t just humans who awakened as Force users.

Dogs and cats, which are common around, and wild animals such as bears and wild boars that live in the mountains often awaken as force users and adversely affect society.

There are cases where raised animals do this, but it is extremely rare and in most cases, wild animals awaken and come down to urban areas and cause human casualties.

In this way, creatures born from the awakening of non-human beings born on Earth as Force users were called ‘originals’, and a separate team was set up to deal with them.

Although the species are different, the original species is also a force user. It has the effect of firearms, and since it was originally a wild animal, it is easy to grasp its habits, so it is also the best job among the jobs that Force users can choose.

Moreover, among wild animals in Korea, wild boar is the upper limit at most. Native tigers have been extinct for a long time, so there are few animals that can be called beasts of prey, so the hurdles are lower than those of the enemy species.

However, because there are so many applicants, it is also a highly competitive job. It is a difficult job for Baekri, who has awakened this year, to enter. I don’t know if I’m going to build a career somewhere else.

“I think I know what my brother is trying to be strong for. So do I. But I live as a normal person because I think it would be better to do what my family wants than to fight. I’m going to die if I can’t do it.”

“You made a good choice”

“If you want to become strong, just remember your initial intention. At least you won’t die easily anywhere.”

“Aren’t you going to die?!”

“You can’t look at the world in terms of water. It’s a world where even people stronger than you die in a flash… But why are you suddenly concerned about such a thing? Recently, I’ve been paying attention to the recipe for fried chicken.”

Suddenly, Ruri took out his cell phone to see if something came to mind.

“Oh, is it because of this?”

Ruri entered the video site and played the most popular video at the top.

【Heavenly Sword】Kyungjin Lee VS Raccoon Man.

It was a concise title, but it was a title that expressed everything. It was also a video that is shaking the world right now.

“That doesn’t have any effect…”

“All men are idiots. Do you see things like this and burn your feelings? If you want to become like this, oppa, would you have to spend 20 years confined in the mountains learning from a goddamn teacher?”

“I’m offended by an oddly realistic example.”

“I can fight well if you tell me to fight, but compared to this, it’s lame. No matter who the opponent is, I can’t last 5 minutes.”

“If you say you can’t last 5 minutes, you mean you can last less than 5 minutes. It’s amazing that you can last even a little.”

Baek-ri, Lee Gyeong-jin, or the worst, if either of them fights, it ends with a single blow. With one sword, one blow, the head is cut off or the body is shattered, and it is easily over.

From the basic physical ability to the use of characteristics, the difference is as big as the sky and the earth.

“It’s good to see Bill Gates and think, ‘I want to become rich like that!’

“You mean to look for a Force user senior or teacher? If that’s the case…”

“I know, the owner of the chicken restaurant often gives me advice, right?”

“……Muh, I don’t know what you mean.”

Baek-ri tried to deny it, but Ruri said it as if she already knew.

“A fire accident happened. My brother woke up as a Force user then, and Raccoon Man appeared at that place to save him. Ji?”

“……..”

Ruri was no fool. She is a child who diligently goes back to her hair. Baekri’s clumsy lies couldn’t fool him.

“Besides, when I met the older brother of the chicken restaurant owner, I sneakily explored it. I pretended to be a normal person, but from the point of view I noticed, there were one or two things that were poorly hidden.”

“Your brother is a master user, can you figure out that?”

“Even if it’s the same Mona Lisa painting, if you say ‘this is a forgery’ on either side, you’ll see something that will tell you that it’s fake, right? If you look for it when you’re already suspicious, it’s a little bit, but it stands out. One of my characteristics is that side. Part of it is thanks, but”

“What are your characteristics?”

“It’s always best not to reveal your abilities. It was like that in JoJo.”

“No, Jojo is there?!”

“It’s the beginning of a battle for talented people, so what’s up? Anyway, ask the older brother of the chicken restaurant to teach you.

“Hyung told me to learn from you first.”

“I thought passing responsibility was a specialty of high-ranking people!”

Ruri said after thinking for a moment.

“Then I will teach you roughly and pass it on.”

“……What are you going to do?”

“You can’t fight like that? Follow me to the park!”

“……?”

It is 1:30 in the morning now. Unless it is a place where you work overtime, most of them go back to their homes to rest or sleep.

“It’s 1:34 in the morning… It’s the perfect time when your sister won’t feel guilty for losing her brother.”

“……Mom, I’m going to do some exercise with Ruri.”

Since the season is summer, the two of them headed to a park near their house without needing to dress separately. Near the two people’s house, there is a small park that the local men sometimes use for early football.

It’s less than a 5-minute walk, so when I arrived at the park, breathing in the night air, there was no one around and only a dull atmosphere was hanging around.

Ruri said, turning her wrists and ankles to loosen her body.

“I’ll tell you in advance, I’m pretty strong!”

“That’s right, when you and I fight, I always lose.”

“If you listen to the stories of kids who have older brothers among their friends, there were no professional wrestling matches, but compared to that, my older brother is a very angel.”

“Why are you giving me all my praise?”

“I’m going to fuck you from now on, but I’m sorry”

Ruri clenched her fist. Baek-ri’s eyes began to see the force in Ruri’s fist.

“First bread victory!”

Phut!

With the sound of her collar quickly flapping, a fist with power similar to that of an ordinary professional martial artist’s full-strength attack aimed at Baek-ri’s philtrum. Frightened by this, Baek Li strengthened his body using his traits.

“You’re determined to kill me?! What kind of madman is going to punch you in the face?!”

“Isn’t it crazy bitch? Hey, crazy bitch! Talk to me!”

“Hey!”

The only thing Baekli could do was block it. In addition to his normal body enhancement, he added his own characteristic “Reinforcement” To double his body, but he was only able to knock out Ruri’s fist.

It wasn’t just a punch, but each punch was fierce, using the shoulders like a boxer.

Every time I play, Pang! The menacing sound of flapping collars was like an explosion to Baek-ri.

“You can’t do anything just by avoiding or blocking?”

“I know?!”

Fortunately, it was possible to react to Ruri’s fist. Her double-enhanced body was barely able to see her fists and dodge vitals or slash them with her hands to create a standoff.

Conversely, it is said that even if Baekri uses the characteristic, it is only a response.

General body enhancement using Gaia Force. In addition, double reinforcement using the force characteristic ‘reinforcement’. Even so, she is at a loss because she can’t defeat Ruri, who just strengthened her body with the Force.

“I don’t know who my brother will fight, but he won’t just throw a jab like this honestly? You can do it like this.”

Ruri pretended to jab again and grabbed Baekri’s wrist to block her. She then pulled and at the same time she landed a knee kick to his abdomen.

The shock, as heavy as the authentic hit, was transmitted to Baekri’s brain.

Few!!

Then Ruri threw an uppercut on Baekri, raising his body about a meter off the ground like a cartoon.

Baek-ri, who saw the stars for an instant, rolled on the floor with a tingling sensation. It’s not an unbearable pain, but it hurts her pride to be beaten for nothing.

“I hit it once with the intention of knocking it out, but it’s only good for toughness. Is it because of its characteristics?”

“Ugh…”

“Now you know that oppa is a newbie among newbies, right? Leave it alone and run a chicken restaurant with the boss oppa.”

Ruri tuk-tuk, shaking her hand, reached out her hand to help the fallen Baek-ri. Bai Li took her hand and rose from her seat.

Shaking off her dirt from her body, Baek-ri thought of something about her and proposed to her.

“Hey, have you looked into computers before?”

“Why is that? To be honest, it’s amazing that the two of us are using a laptop from 10 years ago. Even the rolls barely work.”

Bai Li sighed for a moment and said.

“I’ll buy you a computer, so give me some tutoring, just for an hour or two at night.”

“I’ll make rice cakes in a month to build up basic skills. I’ll serve you with an accelerated course, customer!”

In a capitalist society, the one who gives money is the best. Alright!
