The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 6
6fury
After the company dinner, I adapted to the team smoothly without any incident..
Jeong Da-hyeon, who claimed to be my gunner, explained in detail what a civil servant hunter should do..
As with all tasks, a hunter dedicated to villains does not mean that he only deals with villains..
Various discussions are held on various measures to suppress the occurrence of villains as much as possible, measures to strengthen security, curb access to monsters inside and outside the city, etc. In addition, one must be able to view various documents and ensure that cooperation between various departments continues organically. did.
In addition, we are equipped with various reconnaissance assets, so if an incident occurs in Seoul, we have established a system that reaches the nearby department within 5 minutes and dispatches within 30 minutes..
Although it had some inefficiencies, it was a system designed to keep the city safe. If it had been 'elimination' rather than 'arrest' of the villain, the efficiency would have been much higher..
“······Therefore, establishing a cooperative system with other departments is most important..”
Dahyun Jeong emphasized cooperation several times..
“But doesn't cooperation mean slowing down??”
“that's right. So on-site judgment is important..”
The person who could make that decision was the civil servant Hunter. Because ‘public power’ was given to do so..
The presence or absence of public power creates the difference between hunters and villains..
I have no intention of seeking cooperation from other departments, as Jeong Da-hyun requested. If he were a villain, he was something that had to be eliminated, and from the perspective of a civil servant hunter who had to minimize damage, speed battles were important..
This would be the ordinary mindset of a civil servant hunter who protects citizens..
I really liked the fact that qualifications can be determined with just one test..
“Then shall we go for lunch??”
I checked the time and it was lunch time. Da-hyeon Jeong and I went outside and went to Baekban House, located a little away from the National Security Bureau. The mushroom soybean paste stew at this restaurant is so good that I ate here all week..
“It's good to have a system, but isn't it better to catch villains on the front lines??”
“It's easier said than done.”
“If it's not easy?”
“Being a villain hiding in the city means being more cunning than you can imagine..”
“······.”
Honestly, I couldn't understand that..
Dahyun Jeong saw my expression and smiled faintly..
“You will find out soon.”

After going to work and adjusting to the life of a civil servant hunter, I watched Yunhee's training after work..
It's not because he's my younger brother, but because he's born with talent..
Agile body movements, force affinity, adaptability, and operational ability were ranked high..
I grumbled that it was difficult because the map was quite harsh, but I persevered after seeing my skills improve..
The more skill I had at rolling, the more I enjoyed rolling. Maybe it's because I'm her younger sister, but I'm motivated to play..
Looking at that, I remembered that the person who blocked Yunhee's path in the past was me..
My younger sister was loved by my parents and friends because of her hot-headed and never-ending personality..
Because of me, my dream was shattered and I ended up having to be monitored for the rest of my life. All I could do was watch my little sister from afar sometimes..
I didn't have the courage to face it, but what would it have been like if I had faced it in person?.
“You're just going to nag me, right? She said she failed to properly lead her oppa, who was hit hard, and turned him into a villain. The best decision in my life was to make my brother take the civil service hunter exam..”
This is the answer to the question, “What would I say if I ever became a villain?”.
“Don't even think about doing something villainous. Be sure to stay next to Dahyun! Then I should have done something in the middle.?”
For some reason, it seemed like he trusted Dahyun Jeong more than me. But since when did you start calling Dahyun Jeong your sister? She thought it was a passing thought, but she didn't ask any further questions..
“Thank you for your concern, little brother..”
“Now, wait! Why are you smiling so cruelly! Do not come!”
“Who is bothering you? Let's practice, fun practice..”
“What's fun about training? mom! This guy caught his younger brother!”
I struggled to find my parents in the countryside, but it soon calmed down..
If it's too hard, there's no room for it..

level measurement.
It is an essential process to go through when becoming a hunter..
Level is a measure of power, and high-level awakeners are evaluated and treated as the nation's main force..
The level of awakened people active on the front lines is 4~5, levels 6~7 are called high level awakened, and level 8 is called transcendent awakened..
In particular, the level 8 awakened is the strongest force that no place has more than 10 people except in the United States..
South Korea is currently a country that officially has four Level 8 Awakened people..
With a systematic training system and the emergence of outstanding prospects, it is considered one of the world's leading awakening powerhouses..
Therefore, those who nurture promising talent do not believe in the existence of ‘geniuses who appear like comets’. A true genius is created by thoroughly revealing talent and refining it from an early age..
But today, that common sense was broken. Jeong Joo-ho looked at Jeong Da-hyun with a stiff expression..
“···did you know?”
“I didn't know it would be like this either.”
“Level 7, can you believe it??”
“You have to believe it.”
“Yes, you have to believe it. Because the meter won't lie.”
Level measurements do not represent all combat abilities. However, it is the most widely known method and boasts a high probability of success..
In the level measurement conducted today, Choi Jun-ho proved level 7..
I tested it a few more times with a different measuring device to see if it was an error, but the results were the same..
7 in the first level measurement after awakening. Improbable growth process. And support for civil servant hunters.
From one to ten, there was no part that I understood..
20If you were level 7 in the mid-teens, there would have been a lot of guilds willing to take you, even if it meant pulling out the roots..
“What kind of person is the Choi Jun-ho you see??”
“It's like drawing paper.”
“drawing paper?”
“Yes, it is a pure white painting. So innocent that it doesn't suit your age.”
I felt like it was worn out somewhere, but I didn't bother to mention it..
Choi Jun-ho is a character who must be handled with caution. The more you point out that he is a bit aggressive and force him to control himself, the more he will react..
If we make a mistake, there is a high possibility that humanity will face a huge disaster that we have never faced before..
So Jeong Da-hyun chose the path of protecting Choi Jun-ho..
“But the painting is pure white.”
“It means it can be dyed..”
“Yes, it's dangerous..”
A person who can be a loyal civil servant hunter, but if he makes a mistake, he can become a more dangerous villain than anyone else..
The Choi Jun-ho that Jeong Da-hyun saw was like that..
“I need to be by your side.”
“I believe in you, but the catch is that there is no past..”
“You just have to figure it out little by little. If there had been another plan, I wouldn't have approached it like this..”
“I guess so. Okay, just watch from the side for the time being..”
Jeong Joo-ho tried to end the conversation with that, but Jeong Da-hyun pointed out a point that could have been missed..
“And there's one more thing you need to know.”
“What?”
“The level measuring instrument... can only measure up to level 7..”
“···No way, no.”
Jeong Joo-ho shook his head. But there were goosebumps on her arms..
To measure level 8, a measuring instrument located in the central government is needed. Even a level 8 awakened person shows up as level 7 using the normal meter..
Jeong Da-hyun’s guess is absurd. But it was also something to keep in mind..
“Probably not?”
“I also said it first..”
“First of all, this takes time. Let's just report it to the higher-ups and leave the announcement of this guy's level for a while..”
“yes.”

2 weeks after becoming a civil servant hunter.
Internal work was handed over and level measurement was completed..
My level is 7. After internal discussion, we decided to set the public level to 5..
I don't really care about the level, but I was a bit surprised because it was different from the level I was evaluated on in my last life..
In my last life, I saw a lot of high-level villains getting their heads blown off by low-level villains while they were bragging about their national level..
So I don't blindly trust the level. Wouldn’t it be right to view it as the output of the power I can exert?.
Today, I went out with Dahyun Jeong. It was finally field work..
They said we shouldn't let our guard down, so we ate stir-fried pork instead of soybean paste stew for lunch. I'm not sure what the difference is, but the solemn atmosphere was conveyed well..
“Last time, I asked if it would be better to catch more villains on the front line.?”
“yes.”
“In fact, it’s not that we don’t know about it and that’s why we don’t do it..”
“then?”
“I can't do it because I can't. I can't exactly catch the villain..”
Can't catch the villain? It was difficult to understand.
“Compared to the size of the city, the number of awakeners dedicated to villains is small. Most of them are preoccupied with hunting monsters and calculating the value of by-products. This seemingly peaceful city is actually full of holes like cheese..”
I nodded. When I was a villain, there were dark afterimages of the awakened people who were persistently pursuing me, but I guess there wasn't enough manpower to cover all the minnow villains..
I went crazy and started killing people out loud, but there was no villain walking around full of life when I saw the awakened people walking around with their eyes wide open..
“The numbers are not enough, but the biggest problem is this..”
Dahyun Jeong stretched out her cheeks..
“fake face?”
“that's right.”
Fake face, also known as fake face, is similar to human skin mask and is a disguise tool made by processing the skin of a humanoid monster. It is also a frequent item for villains. Although it cannot be used for a long time due to its toxicity, it was useful inside the city..
“The number of awakened people is insufficient and the villains hide their identities. This is why, even if we cooperate with multiple teams, we have no choice but to focus on control rather than prevention..”
“Is there any way to recognize fake faces??”
“Facial recognition needs to be done at close range. But that's.”
“The backlash will be strong..”
“Because there is a backlash against the awakened..”
Awakened people are objects of admiration, but at the same time, they are like a newly emerged class. Citizens envied their powerful power, wealth, honor, and power..
But the underlying inferiority complex is the problem..
Ordinary citizens wanted the Awakened to be under control and were wary of the emergence of a privileged class comprised only of them..
“So, we aim to suppress villains as quickly as possible when they cause an accident through a systematic construction network. That's the best.”
“I have a question. Secretary, which is more important, the elimination of villains or the safety of citizens?.”
“It's the safety of citizens..”
“Even if the surviving villain becomes a disaster in the future??”
“···What I felt as I faced reality was that I couldn't have everything. If you can't have both, the safety of citizens comes first..”
Straight eyes turned to me. It was the same eye I saw in my last life. Those eyes you had before you died in my hands.
I don't hate people who try to adapt to reality in order not to give up their beliefs..
“I believe that arresting one villain will ensure the safety of 100 citizens. That thought hasn't changed.”
“Junho's thoughts could easily create innocent victims..”
“At that time, you can just apologize. Isn't it better than not being able to get vaccinated because you're afraid of side effects? For example, look at the person walking over there right now..”
“yes?”
I approached the goal that caught my senses..
“What, what??”
An ordinary-looking man standing there looked at me with a surprised expression, but instead of answering, I reached out and pulled his face..
profit!
His face changed from an ordinary face to a grim expression full of scars..
“This is how you can find the villain.”
