The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 92
92fury
Franz's apparent reason for visiting Korea was revenge for his disciple, but the reality was different..
He doesn't really care where his disciples get beaten from..
Laura is already a recognized superhuman. If I get hit outside, I have to overcome it with my own skills..
On the contrary, if you did not die even after being defeated, heaven would have helped you..
After becoming a superman, I started to think I was good and had a high opinion of myself, so I thought I gained some good experience..
Franz fixed his eyes on the guy in front of him..
‘Junho Choi.’
A new superhuman who rose like a comet.
I came all the way across the sea to see him. There was deep suspicion in Franz's eyes towards him..
A creepy nickname called Head Breaker.
If the number is wrong here, the hand goes out without the slightest hesitation..
Even the cruelty that makes a mess of an enemy who cannot resist..
Franz saw in him a mentality that was infinitely closer to a villain than a righteous superman..
They covet his power and treat him as a nationally recognized superhuman, but a superhuman with an incorrect mentality only creates the three evils of another league..
Franz got this idea while watching a video of Choi Jun-ho fighting Schwandtner, Laura, and Traore at the World Supernatural Day event..
Since they are all superhumans belonging to the European Union, Franz is well aware of the skills of the three. Even though the three superhumans, who were never left behind, worked together, they were pushed out by Choi Jun-ho..
‘This guy is so dangerous.’
If you do it wrong, you can become a great evil that will destroy the world..
Franz recalled an old memory of meeting the Three Evils who created the League. Even when they were young, these guys were unusually talented..
There was a time when I thought it didn't matter if I had a twisted mind as long as I protected the world from monsters. But that carelessness gave birth to the monster called League..
Franz still regrets.
If he had taken action or changed his mind when he felt uncomfortable, or if he had taken action out of a strong will, the league might not have emerged. But the three evils of the league ascended to a place beyond their reach..
So I wanted to know what Choi Jun-ho was thinking before he went astray..
If Choi Jun-ho joins a league that has grown in power by taking advantage of the conflict between awakened and non-awakened people,?
‘If you have the wrong idea... I will stop it..’
Even if I sacrifice my life.
If a superhuman like Choi Jun-ho joins the league, it could be -100, not -1, or even more..
Humanity, already having a hard time dealing with monsters, could have perished..
“Come on.”
Franz shouted in a determined voice..
30 minutes after that.
“oh my! I'm dying! A young guy hits someone!”
Franz fell down and cried out..
* * *
The results of testing Choi Jun-ho were harsh..
Starting from the left shoulder, the entire arm and wrist were broken, and the right arm was bent in the opposite direction and broken..
Even the two bridges that were barely holding on were in danger due to mines persistently digging into them..
Unlike himself, who was completely broken, Choi Jun-ho was fine. All there was was torn clothes and minor wounds..
“How can a young man beat up an old man like this?!”
But Franz's voice was trembling as he spoke..
Although it was only a small part, I was able to see Choi Jun-ho's side. It was absolute madness and murderous intent. Choi Jun-ho had an innocence that could not be mixed up with the league that dedicated itself to the world..
This is the power of someone who became a superhuman less than a year ago.?
I have never experienced anything more horrible than this. It was reminiscent of a killing machine programmed to kill people..
As a German superhuman, Franz has faced countless monsters on the front lines and has been dealing with the league's villains since the league's inception..
Among them is the Hell Master, and Franz is one of the few superhumans who is safe from dealing with him..
Even the three evils of the league do not use such harsh tactics. Choi Jun-ho said he was much stronger than anyone expected and was a dangerous guy..
“So why are you testing?.”
Choi Jun-ho comes closer, clicks his tongue, and sprays a recovery agent. Broken bones return to their original places and powder takes shape..
The pain in my whole body disappears like a lie. I couldn't help but think that he had expected everything from the beginning, as he was putting out what he had prepared..
It felt like the madness and murderous intent I had seen just a moment ago from his calm expression was a lie..
“···Boy, did you notice?.”
Franz felt dumbfounded by the completely unexpected words..
“So you thought I wouldn’t know? I know you're not in the league..”
“I knew I was lying?”
“That's why I'm alive.”
Or I would have broken his neck..
“······.”
Then what was he acting for?.
What was your determination? What about this injury? why?
Franz shouted, throwing away his confusion over Choi Jun-ho's identity..
“The guy who knows that messed me up like this.?”
“The old man was so strong that I couldn't win without getting injured..”
“Don't lie, you bastard.!”
“You can think of it as a price to test..”
“···Yes, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have thought of testing you, but it's all my fault..”
Ironically, I was relieved to hear that..
If he was in the league, there would be no way he would have been saved..
It was a glimmer of hope gained as my old body became a mess..
“I guess you do something called reflection..”
“Okay, just spray another recovery agent.!”
“This is expensive.”
“I don't think I have that much money?”
“will charge you.”
“What a petty bastard! In my day, if a colleague was in debt, I would lend it to them, even if it was on credit.!”
“That's crossing the line.”
You were played into this bastard's hands from the beginning..
As I was collapsing, the injured area was throbbing..
profit!
This restorative medicine worked well, but the pain was really bad..
* * *
I knew from the beginning that old Franz was testing me..
Still, the reason I hung out with him was because I was curious about his ability that hasn't yet been broken..
Although I withdrew of my own accord, I wanted to experience the skills that made me a teenage superhuman during my prime..
As for the results, they were quite impressive..
In particular, I had a few things to refer to when it came to skill and the application of mines..
“So, were you satisfied with making a mess of old me??”
“I know you're fine.”
The reason why the result of the match came out sour was simple. The way to subdue an opponent with experience and know-how is to hit harder and faster..
As a result, it was a mess, but the power of Shinsung Group's special recovery agent is amazing. Even though I had a bone disease inside, I succeeded in making myself look fine on the outside..
“He seems like a heartless guy..”
Franz, who was glaring at me, sat down in his seat with a relaxed expression..
“so how about.”
“What do you mean?.”
“It's my skills..”
“···Just say you're going to the league. I'm going to call everyone I know and raid you..”
Anyone who sees me will think I'm crazy like I did with the hematoma..
And, that doesn't catch me..
Franz didn't seem to mean what he said either..
“Are you that worried about going to the league?.”
“Then you're not worried? Things are like these days, if you make a mistake, you turn everything around and run away to become a villain..”
“I don't like that.”
“Don't you even think about how many times you've upset me??”
This is the first time I've ever wondered what on earth they're talking about..
Franz sees my expression and sighs. Something's pissing me off..
So what you're saying is that I'm a troublemaker.?
“Well, that's insensitive, so maybe the worst didn't happen..”
“I have no intention of going to the league..”
“I know, I know someone is deaf.?”
I didn't believe it. What a shameless inspiration..
“That's how dangerous the league's ideology is. Aren’t you attracted to the things I just said??”
“I wasn't attracted to you..”
“really?”
“Being swayed by bullshit means you are that stupid..”
It's sweet what the league says, but that's it in the end. Because the words spoken by those who attempt revolution are, as always, sweet..
If you don't come up with something as an alternative, it's just nonsense..
Creating a world where awakened people are treated well? Then what about the non-awakened??
Just because I'm an awakened doesn't mean everyone in my family is awakened..
The league completely excludes any mention of this and talks as if it will create a righteous world led by talented people. So, is it okay for a person without skills to die? Even if I sympathize with it at first, would I accept it with a smile if it were my family that had to be eliminated??
Internal contradictions can be resolved internally. like me.
“···haha. Okay, I guess I was wrong from the beginning..”
Franz, hearing my thoughts, smiled empty-handedly..
“Do you have any faith now??”
“Couldn’t you have told me in advance??”
“So are you going to believe me??”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to believe it??”
Franz's voice became blurred..
“You know the answer yourself..”
“You don't give up a single word. A toxic guy.”
Who says this is so toxic?.
I thought it was amazing in another way to see him maintain his old-fashioned attitude until the end..
“You don't seem worried about the league..”
“Is there really a need to care about those guys??”
“You know, if the world is going to end, it will be because of them..”
“The world does not fall easily.”
Even when I became a hematoma and went crazy, I didn't perish..
It's just seriously damaged.
Franz shakes his head. What else is there??
“In the early days when the Awakened Ones appeared, there was a prophet with the gift of prophecy. do you know him?”
“I do not know.”
I had never heard of it and had no interest in it..
Was prophecy even possible in the first place? It seems like he's just praising himself for getting one or two things right..
Then I too can prophesy..
From now on, I will not go crazy, I will live peacefully, and I will not have any accidents..
Prophecy, it's so easy.
Contrary to my negative answer, Franz spoke with a serious expression..
“Unfortunately, the prophet was a person who did not even receive a proper education. However, he was concerned that the world could be destroyed by humans rather than monsters, and he left several prophecies in the land where he lived..”
Franz says that the cataclysm predicted by the prophet coincided..
“Unfortunately, not all prophecies have been secured. When we discovered, much of the prophet's prophecy had been lost..”
It is said that the prophet was from a small coastal village in Namibia, untouched by civilization..
It is said that he left a prophecy written on a stone without knowing how to write..
“The prophet's last prophecy was as follows. 'Darkness, which thinks of itself as light, will swallow up all the blessings of the world.' We think of this darkness as a league and this blessing as a gift..”
“······.”
“The league has absolute powerhouses such as Black Hound and Hell Master, but the center is undoubtedly Argos. He never grows old, he has the world in his sights, and he plots cunningly..”
I agree with you when you say that Argos is cunning..
Who says you were born to be a villain?.
This is a rant I have never heard before..
“When interpreting the prophecy, there are two ways to think about swallowing up blessings. The first means multiple gifts. It is already known that Argos is the holder of more than just dual gifts..”
“What's the other one??”
“Swallowing a gift means taking the gift. It refers to the awakened people who are included in the league..”
“That seems plausible..”
To me, it looked like a nose ring when worn on the nose, and an earring when worn on the ear..
“Ultimately, it means that Argos is a villain who can bring destruction to the world..”
“Have you ever seen Argos?”
“there is. But I can't tell if even that image is real..”
Are you that cunning?.
“In the end, the story goes that they must join forces to eliminate the league..”
“okay.”
Franz nodded..
I didn't know the league was that strong..
The number of superhumans currently in the league is known to be around 40..
No single force has this many superhumans, but the league is also scattered into point organizations, so it cannot project its power in one place..
If you think there are too many people needlessly gathering, just kill them all..
“You don’t have to accept what I say right away. Don't just ignore it.”
“Of course.”
I thought the prophecy of the destruction of the world was really grandiose..
I try not to think too complicatedly..
If you see it, kill it, it will disappear someday..
We talked to the restaurant, got some new clothes, changed and headed to the hotel where Franz was staying..
“The world can exist because there are many people. keep that in mind.”
After saying that, I went inside..
It seems like he's trying to inform me of the dangers of the league until the end, but I don't know..
Korea has the most liberal league in the world, so maybe I didn't feel it..
“by the way.”
The prophecy that Franz had mentioned earlier stuck in my mind..
Devour all blessings?
I feel like this is somehow talking about my blood intake..
No way, no.
* * *
For Franz, this visit to Korea was fruitful..
I was satisfied with experiencing the skills of Choi Jun-ho, a monster, and with the fact that his personality was at odds with the league..
Even if he made it to the league, his personality would have destroyed everyone's heads..
Except for being overly cruel..
“No courtesy, no courtesy.”
The injury was completely healed, but my bones still felt cold..
This meant that the injury suffered in the match with Choi Jun-ho was serious..
Laura expressed concern..
“You're okay, right??”
“Well, even if I’m not okay, I have to pretend I’m okay..”
“···So Choi Jun-ho said you have to be careful..”
“A guy like that said he didn't want to hang out with Choi Jun-ho and threw him out.?”
“sorry.”
When Franz raised his eyes, Laura immediately apologized. But why did she do that? She was relatable..
He's like a crazy person who thinks he's the only one who's normal..
Still, overall it was a satisfactory visit..
The food was delicious, and I also saw the city run under a strict alert system..
“Did you enjoy the sights??”
“Yes, I've seen everything there is to see..”
“It sounds like you had all the fun while your teacher was getting beaten up..”
“······.”
“Ah, back in my day, a disciple followed his teacher like heaven..”
“It's the same thing over and over again.?”
By the time they arrived at the airport, Franz and Laura were surrounded by reporters who had been waiting in advance..
“Prince Franz! Did you enjoy your visit to Korea??”
“What was your image of Korea??”
“What kind of conversation did you have with President Jeon Han-cheol??”
Reporters who had not been able to get close to Choi Jun-ho until recently were right next to him, but he started asking questions in droves..
Franz smiled and answered the interview wholeheartedly..
“It is a very beautiful, dynamic, and talented country. We got a glimpse of the Awakened nation's ability to become a world leader..”
When calm Korean was spoken, all the reporters were surprised and asked questions..
A foreign giant praising the Republic of Korea was a code that worked regardless of the time..
The moment the atmosphere froze was when the question changed from advice to Korea to something Korea should pay attention to, and then came a negative question about Choi Jun-ho..
“Recently, social conflict has deepened with the appearance of Choi Jun-ho, a superhuman, and I would like to know your thoughts on this.!”
“Choi Jun-ho is being evaluated as being no different from a villain. What do you think??”
“Don't you think it's a national disgrace for a superhuman to behave so lightly as if he were an idol?······.”
“How do you view the social phenomenon of hunters being more cruel than villains?······.”
It was all a good topic to talk about..
“······.”
Laura's expression, who could listen in Korean, hardened, and Franz's expression, who had been answering softly, also hardened and quietly smoothed his chin. This is what happens when you feel uncomfortable..
Even the reporters who were asking questions suddenly became mute..
I was overwhelmed by the momentum Franz radiated..
“Were they parasites on peace rather than those who served the country??”
“······!”
The reporters froze, unable to answer, due to the cold stare..
Although he was said to have retired from being a teenage superhuman, he was a giant in Europe and considered the strongest..
Reporters, who were just ordinary people, were suppressed and could not say anything..
“It is a peace created through the sacrifice of the awakened. Soaked in that peace, we forget their sacrifice and expose their faults, making them a topic of gossip and causing conflict..”
No one could refute Franz's words..
All of this was being broadcast live..
“The peace we have enjoyed was not created for free! keep that in mind!”
This is why the awakened people get fed up and go to the league..
Some could not handle the momentum and lowered their heads..
A subject I don't even have the courage to face, even to this extent..
He glanced at the reporters with contemptuous eyes and swore at them..
“Trash! Ficken!”
