The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 38
38fury
The reason why Nuri, who appears a month later, is called No. 8 is because he is the eighth level 8 monster to appear..
Level 8 harmful monster.
It is a power that can destroy a country..
A level 8 superhuman can inflict significant damage, and hunting requires at least a hundred hunters of level 6 or higher to assist..
···Honestly, I don't think there is a need for this much power..
“Although this is a standard for hunting with minimal damage,.”
Of course, hunting is possible even without level 8..
The problem is that about 1/3 to half of the city was destroyed..
I remember those days.
At this time, hundreds of elite hunters die due to Nuri, and Seoul suffers great damage..
After trying to somehow join a large guild, I aimed for the post-war recovery period, but the result was a failure..
Even though there were countless empty seats, there was no place for me in the guild..
I think things have gone awry since then. In the end, my abilities were not enough, but I blamed the world..
I remember it clearly because it was the time when my life went astray and I made the most foolish choices..
I moved into the Blue House with Choi Myung-guk..
* * *
“When will I say hello to the President??”
Junho Choi A meeting that took place with just one word.
Choi Myung-guk thought that the later the meeting between the President and Choi Jun-ho was delayed, the better..
The reason for concern was simple..
There is a possibility that the two will get along well..
One is the president of a country and the other is a superman..
South Korea is a presidential-centered country. The president's power was truly great. And the value of Choi Jun-ho, the youngest superhuman, can be compared with just one hand..
I was afraid of how much destructive power the two would unleash if they teamed up..
Choi Myung-guk took a step first..
“The President has a very busy schedule, so the meeting may take place late..”
“It doesn't matter.”
However, it is impossible to avoid Choi Jun-ho's straight shot..
In the end, Choi Myung-guk had no choice but to report to the President as Choi Jun-ho requested..
and.
The meeting took place on the same day..
* * *
I was lucky.
I was able to meet the President less than an hour after Choi Myung-guk submitted his report..
The name of the current President of the Republic of Korea is Jeon Han-cheol, a three-term member of the National Assembly in Seoul who served as a minister and party leader before becoming president..
He is called Buddha because of his always smiling face and is gaining solid support for his smooth and unobtrusive management of state affairs..
60The president, now in his mid-teens, had white hair, deepened wrinkles, and a benevolent appearance as if to prove the stress of the past..
People like this usually have other plans..
“My name is Jeon Han-cheol..”
“This is Junho Choi. Please take it easy, Mr. President..”
“I will speak slowly. I wanted to meet you at least once. You are as tall as you see on the screen..”
“The president also makes a much better impression..”
“I often hear that the real thing is better..”
“······.”
Well, first of all, I have a lot of pride in my appearance. First of all, it makes a good impression. Add pride in appearance.
Aside from that, the conversation between me and the president continued amicably..
Choi Myeong-guk, why is that man looking at me with such anxious eyes? It's almost annoying..
Could it be that the president was among the people who called me half-hearted? If so, the story is different. Blacklist, no, I need to get my gossip list quickly..
Because I decided to just watch it anyway..
And President Jeon Han-cheol.
How does this person look at me?.
Before I could ask, the President said with sparkling eyes..
“Personally, I am watching Choi Jun-ho's progress with interest. I can't tell you how relieved I felt after watching the press conference..”
“Don't you usually say be careful??”
“I'm one of those people who hears that too..”
The President burst out laughing..
“So, I wanted to meet Choi Jun-ho several times, but Director Choi stopped me because he was busy. So it took quite some time..”
“······.”
As expected, that guy Choi Myeong-guk was blocking it..
Isn't Choi Myung-guk on the first line of the blacklist, or the gossip list?.
After talking to you, I understand. If the people around him, the President, did not cover him, he would have caused various controversies with his gossip. The expression was quite direct..
“Thank you for a good look.”
“Of course, we should look at it positively. Didn't you reject persistent courtship from many places and choose our country? As the head of the administration, I can only thank you. but.”
The President's eyes, who were smiling kindly, slightly brightened..
“There will be pressure to perform..”
“You're talking about half of it..”
“That's not necessarily the case. Choi Jun-ho is a superhuman representing the country, so various pressures can come from various directions..”
The President smiles kindly again..
He praised her with lip service, but just looking at him, he was a fox who said what he had to say and took care of himself..
Hmm, more like a raccoon than a fox..
“I'm not the type of person who feels particularly pressured..”
“As expected, it’s extraordinary. I like that distribution.”
“Soon you will have a chance to show your skills..”
If you take action because you are swayed by what is whispered behind your back, it is like admitting that you are sensitive to rumors..
“That's cool. I'm also looking forward to Choi Jun-ho's performance..”
“You can look forward to it..”
The distance between the president and me was just right..
There were only two categories of people I had relationships with..
You can either accept everything while interacting, or you can scream with joy..
In that respect, the President maintained an appropriate distance and said everything he wanted to say in a calm manner..
Even though I wasn't an awakened person, it had a lot of weight..
It seemed like that kind of behavior was necessary to become president..
“As the year goes by, foreign guests will be visiting. At that time, superhumans also visit, and quite a bit of nerves can break out..”
“How to deal with it?”
“oh! Is it possible to do what I want? Even if you ask me to break the opponent's spirit?”
“Instead, the other person may get hurt a lot..”
The president laughed at what I said..
“That's good. The person who was there before just said let's go. We are also a powerhouse of awakened people and have nothing to lag behind, so why do they always ask us to look at their opinions? No matter how well it is presented, diplomacy is ultimately power. When people have different opinions and clash, the stronger side's words are given more weight. I will only trust Choi Jun-ho as a superhuman..”
“yes.”
“Mr. President.”
“I don't know, I decided to just believe what superhumans say.”
“······.”
The deepening of Choi Myung-guk's wrinkles was also an interesting point. I thought he had a bad look on his face, but he did it because of the president..
It was new to me to see someone who always told me to control myself and then turn my back on me like this..
The more this happened, the more the complexion of Choi Myeong-guk, who was standing behind him, changed to an earthy color..
Anyone who sees it will think I'm trying to turn things upside down beyond repair..
As we talked, it was already 6 PM..
“Now, let's talk next while we eat..”
The person who mainly talked while moving around was the president..
He explained to me about foreign superpowers and situations. In summary, he said that countries around the world are suffering from the league, and that there is no place like Korea where the government and guilds maintain a balanced and stable system..
“Balance and stability are very important. When government power becomes too great, it takes the form of repression, and when large guilds become too large, they begin to privatize state power. No matter which way you lean, the results are not good..”
In that respect, he said the time when the league was about to enter was a watershed..
Radical ideas easily color the surroundings. He added that the league's vision is attractive at first glance, but in the end, everyone will live an unhappy life due to endless struggle..
“This is all thanks to Choi Jun-ho, who responded preemptively. and.”
I see Choi Myung-guk following behind me, and he slowly leans towards me..
“I suspect that Choi Jun-ho was the one who moved Berserker and destroyed the remaining forces of the League..”
As expected, since he is the president, he has good information. Maybe it was Choi Myung-guk who reported it. Or is it a stabbing stage?.
There was no need to hide it, so I obediently agreed..
“I will post a detailed report soon..”
“Although I went to a convenience store and bought a 1+1 product for the election campaign, this is the first time I've seen a superhuman get 1+1..”
the president said with a big smile.
But why am I 1+1 with that crazy Berserker guy? I felt strange. He's crazy and I'm a normal person. I wanted to make it right, but I quietly moved on..
Dinner is a Korean meal..
The deep, yet subtle flavor is exactly what I like..
Among them, the highlight was soybean paste stew. Envy you. The president must eat this every day?
As the crab ate one gulp of air as if hiding its eyes and was taking a second gulp, I met the surprised eyes of the president..
“why are you like that?”
“I was surprised at how delicious it was. Choi Jun-ho looks like he's good at cutting steak..”
“My favorite thing is soybean paste stew..”
“That's what my wife did..”
I was shocked when he said it as if he was bragging. I ate it not while I was in the Blue House, but throughout my married life.?
“So you continued to eat this after you got married??”
“Yeah, that's right?”
“envious.”
“what? Ha ha ha ha ha! I didn't know those words would come out. Was it that much??”
“···I almost called you mother.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
He was a president who made big noises. I never thought I would feel envious of the real president..
I was curious about what it would taste like if the First Lady made Owlbore Soybean Paste Hot Pot..
“Hey, Owlbo. I'll treat you with that next time..”
“President, I think you are truly blessed..”
“I guess my wife should listen to this..”
The president called the first lady that way and exchanged greetings..
When I praised the soybean paste stew, the First Lady's eyes sparkled and she started talking about cooking with me..
He had extensive knowledge of cooking, and was especially interested in flavoring monsters with ingredients..
Wasn’t I also an expert in survival cooking? The First Lady and I got along better than I thought..
He looked at me and asked me how I was a superhuman and that I looked like I couldn't even see blood, so I was satisfied. Like a ghost, he sensed that I was changing my mind and trying to live a good life. This is what age means..
However, Choi Myung-guk next to me had irreverent eyes..
“Please come next time. I'll make you a delicious soybean paste stew called Owlbore..”
“I will definitely come.”
After finishing the meal and leaving the Blue House, he said he wanted to make me his youngest son and asked me to treat him comfortably..
When talking about Owlbore soybean paste stew, you can’t leave out Jeong Da-hyun. Next time, I should bring Jeong Da-hyeon too..
* * *
It was a useful day.
Choi Myeong-guk's complexion was gloomy as he came out to see him off..
“I hope that you will consider what the President said today at an appropriate level..”
“Of course I think so..”
“thank you.”
I looked at you with eager eyes and I guess that's all.
“However, I was able to see that the words of the president and the director were quite different..”
“···Some are refined, while others take into account each department's position. I hope you like it.”
“All right.”
Since he is a capable person, he will act with good judgment..
However, after talking with the president, I could see that he supported me emotionally..
Of course, when I do my part as a superhuman,.
That meant that all you had to do was catch Nuri, the 8th monster, and prove that you were not half-hearted..
“List, please..”
“···ha ha ha.”
I took Choi Myung-guk's smile as approval and returned home..
Yunhee was still in a state of confusion with the sofa..
“I'm here? Today’s event was amazing.”
“Did you see the article?.”
“Oh, Sehee is getting prettier every day..”
“You should stop rolling around and make things up too..”
“I'm not a celebrity, I'm a hunter.”
He uses things to his advantage in an amazing way..
He pretended to answer indifferently, but was busy glancing at my complexion..
Looks like he knows half a thing too.
“Were you worried about the monster hunting thing?.”
Yoonhee got up from her seat in shock..
“What, how do you know that??”
“I heard it from Director Choi..”
“No, how can you say something like that to their face? How sensitive it is depending on the person.!”
“I'm not sensitive.”
“still!”
Yunhee, who was full of energy, screamed. I think Choi Myung-guk spoke carefully enough. Even if I told her, it would be awkward for Yoon-hee to get angry, so I decided to leave her alone..
Anyway, I never thought Yunhee would worry about me this much. It was a little touching.
“You're not hurt.?”
“Would I accept that?.”
“thank god.”
A relieved Yunhee buried herself on the sofa..
My younger brother, who seemed like a child, has grown up and gotten angry at people who criticize me. She felt better after returning and thinking that she had not lived wrongly..
“Even if you curse, I have to curse. I know how angry it gets when other people curse.?”
Oh, was that something like that?.
* * *
Today, the National Defense Bureau was going about its daily life as usual..
Being the same as usual means that an incident occurred without fail..
Suddenly a meeting was held and the affiliated hunters were busy moving around..
I quietly watched the scene, and after the meeting was over, I went into the director's office at Jeong Joo-ho's call..
“The executioner moved..”
“Ah, level 7 villain..”
I remembered the villain trying to join the league. After that, I forgot about him because he didn't really exist..
I don't remember anything from my last life either..
Were you there when I destroyed the Korean branch of the league??
“Is there any problem??”
“The guy who used to walk alone started to get older. I don't know what the intention was.”
Joo-ho Jeong said that the executioner was a villain who used to travel alone..
The Executioner is a madman who is on par with Berserker, and is a murderer who kills people whenever he feels like it..
If Berserker kills villains and hunters rather than civilians, the executioner is a guy who does whatever he wants..
“They're making a fuss about not being able to join the league. Because the area where he operates is rural, it is not easy to project power..”
Executioners were mainly active in Chungcheong-do and Jeollabuk-do..
This guy was inciting chaos in connection with a local villain organization, and as the scale grew, an incident occurred in which the military's villain response team was destroyed and devastated..
“They say they are currently heading north, but according to internal information, their target is Cheonan. They'll attack tomorrow.”
“Cheonan.”
After all, it’s near Cheongju. My parents live there. It hasn't come up yet.
Even if it is operated by the National Defense Bureau, it will be necessary to send several core teams to directly deal with the level 7 villain. The decision process couldn't have been quick..
Then I guess I'll have to deal with it..
Jeong Joo-ho probably knew that my parents were in Cheongju and threw bait just in case. As expected, he is a sly snake..
“Even if a decision is made tomorrow and a team is dispatched, there is a high possibility that the executioner will attack first..”
“yes. So we are considering sending some power first..”
However, he showed a negative attitude, saying that there were concerns about individual factions breaking apart..
There were two ways. One was to gather nearby power in Cheonan, but if the attack route is changed, empty houses can be robbed..
The second is to temporarily vacate the base and gather forces to retake it. But this also means giving up the advantage of defense, so the damage will increase..
After thinking about it for a while, I thought of a natural person who went camping as a princess..
“We will stop the executioner from moving north..”
“I'm going directly?”
“I'm thinking of moving tomorrow, and I have someone who will move for me..”
Instead of answering, I held up my smartphone. And I sent a message to Berserker..
Me-what are you doing?
Berserker-ㅇㅇ?
Berserker - Since you're Sun Talk, I guess you have some work to do..
Berserker-I am now
Berserker-[Attach photo][Attach photo][Attach photo]
Berserker-Taking mixed poison. It's thrilling. haha...!
Berserker - Soon, the poisonous fire will be mine. When that time comes.
Berserker - I almost said something crazy for a moment. It's cancelled..
Berserker - But what do you want me to do??
Berserker - Answer me.
I heard the executioner is moving north. Try to stop the executioner from coming up. I will go tomorrow.
Berserker - I got it. I'll contact you soon.
