The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 93
93fury
“My stomach feels empty. After all, it’s Prince Franz. I gave a cool warning.”
“······.”
Unlike the President, who smiled brightly, Cheon Myeong-guk's expression was not so bright. Franz's interview at the airport was broadcast live and reflected in detail..
It wasn't aired without any meaning..
It was an interview to establish a frame, and Franz was chosen as the tool..
The result was the exact opposite of what reporters wanted..
The reporters probably wanted an answer from Franz, such as that a superhuman must have a righteous mind, and tried to sway public opinion by picking that part..
But Franz's words changed everything..
“Peace never comes for free. The forces trying to legislate now are forgetting this..”
Of course, the awakened system in Germany, where awakened people are respected, and in Korea, where they have wealth and honor, is somewhat different..
In Korea, becoming an awakened person is considered an opportunity to reverse one's social status, and it has been evaluated that low-class capitalism has gained ground as awakened people who have gained wealth and fame have accidents..
But behind it all, there was a strong tendency to deny the peace that the awakened had achieved..
That's how we can prevent the awakened ones from coming to the forefront..
It was possible to sway public opinion because there were more non-awakened people than awakened people..
Coexistence was achieved amidst anxiety, but the loss of balance was the league's advantage..
There was a fear that non-awakened people could be dominated by awakened people..
Naturally, there was a force that stimulated this fear in order to win the votes of non-awakened people..
“We need to build up our reputation more than we do now. Only then can we demand concessions from the awakened..”
“I don't think it will be easy.”
“Probably so.”
The President took his gaze away from Franz's interview scene and looked at Cheon Myeong-guk. His expression was more serious than before..
“But we have no way. Other than that, do you think we can control Choi Jun-ho??”
“doesn't exist.”
“Yeah, none. Choi Jun-ho's skills far exceeded what we thought..”
The Awakened should ultimately be a force that the government can control. Mutual checks are possible and control is possible only by dividing them so that they cannot unite..
If that's not possible, you have to give each other what you want. Absolute, uncontrollable power brings joy, but if it goes out of control, it can hasten destruction..
From the government's perspective, Choi Jun-ho was like that. He had an idea that not too long ago he was in control. But his achievements made that thought fade..
The final blow came when I encountered information that conflicted with Franz..
“Prince Franz has stepped down from being a teenage superman, but it's hard to say that his capabilities are inferior..”
“Physical strength issues may occur, but force amount and gift operation know-how may be better..”
“It was Choi Jun-ho who overpowered Prince Franz..”
“···yes.”
Considering that the two people collided on the promenade of a Korean restaurant, Choi Jun-ho was relatively fine, and Franz showed discomfort for the rest of the time, it was not difficult to infer the outcome..
Choi Jun-ho was walking around fine..
Considering that it is harder to subdue than to kill, it means that Choi Jun-ho is clearly one step ahead..
“It wasn't difficult to predict that he would be able to kill a plus level monster by himself. Choi Jun-ho will be similar to or better than the three evils of the league. He was completely out of our control from the beginning..”
“It's dangerous.”
“But it's more important to be on our side. It is important to be a superhuman belonging to the country. Let's think that we have come face to face with the truth that we have been trying so hard to deny. In that sense.”
The President said as he put down the documents in his hands..
“You better veto this bill..”
This is the law on equal application of awakened and non-awakened people that was raised in the National Assembly not long ago..
The bill itself addresses the application of the law equally to awakened and non-awakened people, but if you look inside, it greatly infringes on the autonomous exercise of force by awakened people..
It is said that this will dramatically lower the crime rate of the awakened, but in reality, it is an action that puts a leash around the neck of the awakened..
I know why this happened.
It’s thanks to Choi Jun-ho’s presence..
So, regardless of the ruling or opposition parties, there must have been an agreement..
Cheon Myeong-guk expressed concern..
“The backlash will be severe..”
“What can I do if I refuse? The approval rating is still over 60%. If you say it's interfering with Korea becoming the safest country in the world, you won't be able to say anything.?”
“······.”
“Or do you have any other good opinions??”
Cheon Myeong-guk hastily lowered his head..
“Law is not my major.”
“So let's do as I say. Reporters might see this and run to Choi Jun-ho..”
The president who said that grinned at Cheon Myeong-guk..
“In that part, Director Cheon worked a little harder..”
“···I'll do my best.”
“But the most absurd thing is.”
The president tapped the document with his finger with an absurd expression..
“Did you think that if this law was enacted, Choi Jun-ho could be tied up? What if I don’t keep it? You can grab it?”
No way.
Rather, I might have visited the lawmakers who submitted the bill..
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk, who were thinking the same thing, made eye contact and smiled..
“Getting used to Choi Jun-ho is scary..”
* * *
Franz returned, but it left a strong impression. In particular, it became a hot topic when I burst out in an interview aimed at me on my way home..
People watching the interview swore at the reporters..
It seems like reporters definitely don't like me. Is it because I broke Oh Chang-moon’s limbs? That too is a matter of hand..
As if not everyone was my enemy, a defense article was posted, led by Go Ye-jin..
···Looking at it this way, I also did quite a lot for my country..
But what is the Equal Application Act? Well, I thought it was because it's not every day or two that the people who make the laws do something strange..
By the way, looking at the article, I'm also a pretty great superhuman, right? Old Franz, who was worried that I would go to the league like this, was also very worried..
Anyway, what old Franz said remains in my mind..
Prophecy that the world may be destroyed.
And the league's chaos.
He told me it was a serious matter, but to be honest, I couldn't sympathize..
“The higher-ups will take care of it..”
I'm expecting it to move as quickly as it has its own food bowl hanging on it..
Of course, warnings are not ignored. If something like that happens, I'm the one who has to take an active role..
The present, where I am living not as a villain but as a trustworthy son and a reliable older brother, are the moments I longed for back in the days when I was devoured by the blood species..
When my dream came true, nothing happened..
Still, I felt like something wasn't crazy..
When I got home, Yunhee saw me and started talking loudly..
“Why are you looking so serious all of a sudden? Lose your appetite.”
“Is that what you want to say to your brother??”
“Then would you do it to your lover??”
“I hope this is something you say when you have a lover..”
“Just die.”
“You speak beautifully.”
“Then, did you think you would be as drowsy as Dahyun? Wake up from your dream. Just have fun with yourself.”
The reason he was so sulky was because he wasn't introduced to Franz when he met him..
Yunhee's role model was Laura, and she said she was a superhuman she wanted to be like. Talent is talent, and it's cool to become a superhuman at a young age..
I broke Laura's wrist, but I didn't think I could say anything..
“I'll introduce you next time..”
“Keep your promise.”
“OK. How about hunting these days? It's worth it.?”
“Is everything going smoothly? I get a lot of compliments on how fast my progress is. Well, I'm training to death, but if my skills don't improve, I think I'll lose my temper. Because someone rolled it for me.”
You look at me like I'm your enemy.
Rather, shouldn’t we be grateful?.
Moreover, seeing as Indomitable hasn't opened yet, it looks like there's room left..
“Just say that you have more training to do. Turn everything over.”
···something like a ghost.
Maybe it's not indomitability, but rather opening up a gift like perception.?
“I'm done with my story, and this time I'm merging with Dahyun unnie.?”
“Uh, I'm trying to use my training as content..”
“sudden training content?”
“There is a public opinion that hunters eat raw these days. He said he would like the public to know how hard he trains on a regular basis..”
In addition, I heard that there has been some strange movement in the National Assembly recently, and I wondered if it was related to the Equal Application Act..
Jin Se-jeong took the opposite position of this law and cited as an example the fact that no good has been achieved by restricting the awakened people..
But if you leave it too loose, wouldn't it be similar to an awakened person or a villain?.
If it catches my eye, I don't care, just crush it and that's it..
“That's good. I thought people already thought the Awakened One was coming down from the sky..”
Yunhee also raised her voice, saying that there was a similar case..
“Are you saying it's not a joke when you really don't know anything? Anyone who sees me knows that I was chosen and given power. Sometimes, when I read the comments, I burst out laughing and die. I really wanted to go see it in person and see what it looked like..”
“You could die from tearing off the skin on your face..”
“Because I won't die?”
I heard he died?
I can't say I tried to kill it like that..
He shows off when I tell him that what you said is right..
Does this mean the king's ears are donkey ears?.
It's frustrating because I can't tell the truth..
“Anyway, good content. If high-level Awakened people let people know how hard they usually train, the perception of Awakened people will change a bit..”
At the same time, he speaks passionately about the problem with the current situation where people only see what they want to see. Am I mistaken if I sense Franz's old-fashioned power from that appearance?.
Yoon-hee, who realized the intention to merge, quenched her appetite..
“i envy you. I also wanted to watch your brother's broadcast..”
“Should I invite you too?.”
“uh! I want to appear too.”
I guess I should talk to Jin Se-jeong. Content production is produced with Jin Se-jeong and Choi Jun-ho's team, which is now a full-fledged team, after a meeting and with my approval..
In meetings, I keep adding details to my world view, and honestly, I would bet a hundred won that Jin Se-jeong peeked into my past life..
“I want to do other content!”
“There's something I want to do?”
“I like mukbang! Game rooms are also good! A drinking and mukbang would also be nice.!”
It's all about feeling comfortable..
It's very different from what I thought.?
The content I created was like this.
···I was thinking about content such as.
Well, the direction of the content may change depending on the circumstances of the day..
Let's just say we do it. Because catching is important.
“okay. Let's do it all.”
“Yes!”
···Let's say that and try to make it into training content. Wouldn’t it be understandable if I said it was a hidden camera?.
I'm just saying it's good for you..
Do you understand??
You will understand.
Of course, the probability of being convinced is 0.01% and the probability of despairing is 99.99%..
Thinking of Yunhee's despairing expression, I felt surprisingly at ease..

The hottest thing among the recent personal broadcasts of awakened people was Choi Jun-ho's channel with the bland name..
Even though it mainly consisted of ordinary daily videos, it continued to grow explosively, exceeding 5 million subscribers in a short period of time, and each video recorded more than 10 million views..
Because the impact of the video was so strong, in addition to creating Choi Jun-ho's image as initially intended, efforts were made to include a public meaning..
Today’s broadcast was also an extension of that line..
“The intention of today's broadcast is 'How hard do high-level awakened people usually train?' Yes.”
The peace we enjoy was not created for free..
These words from Franz tell us what Europe thinks of the awakened people..
However, since there is a negative perception of awakened people in Korea, the content was prepared based on how intensely they prepare..
“How much can I do??”
“Is your training intensity usually weak??”
“not that strong.”
“Yeah, it's difficult. How are you, Team Leader Dahyun Jeong??”
Jin Se-jeong asked while looking at Jeong Da-hyun, not at me..
Dahyun Jeong, wearing a gray training suit and her hair tied in a ponytail, answered in a calm voice..
“People around me say I'm pretty strong, but I can handle it..”
“Then, you can do it as usual, but when I give you a signal, you can make it a little stronger.?”
This time he looked at me and asked, so I nodded..
“it's possible.”
“yes. But it can be a bit extreme. You might frown.”
“are you okay. Because reality is important.”
“Then let's do it as usual..”
“yes.”
Dahyun Jeong nods her head with a determined expression at my words..
Jin Se-jeong, who didn't know what kind of picture it was, was looking at the two of us with blank eyes..

Taehyun Kim is 30 years old and unemployed. He worked as a day laborer, but when there was no work, he would spend his time lounging around at his parents' house..
He fell asleep late in the morning and woke up in the afternoon after lunch to see that Choi Jun-ho's broadcast had been announced on Live..
“I said Jung Da-hyun would appear today..”
Kim Tae-hyun was the famous Choi Jun-ho's friend on Choi Jun-ho's channel..
20The fact that he was in his mid-teens, had a more handsome face than most actors, and had the title of level 8 superman were all factors that exploded his inferiority complex..
Kim Tae-hyun felt lucky to see Choi Jun-ho living a life completely different from his own..
If I had the awakening talent, if I had been given a gift, I would have been able to survive without having to work as a day laborer..
From that perspective, Choi Jun-ho was a guy who used all his luck..
If I had been as lucky as him, I would have worked hard..
When the pre-ordered chicken arrived, the live broadcast began. The timing was perfect..
-Hello, today’s daily guest is Jeong Da-hyun..
“···pretty.”
It was a beauty that instantly made the hateful comments disappear..
Jeong Da-hyun, who appeared on the broadcast screen, shined with beauty even though she only had basic makeup on. Even though he was wearing only training clothes, his slim body looked elastic and gave off an aura that had reached level 7..
i envy you. Seeing how well they stood side by side, my hostility towards Choi Jun-ho grew even more..
-Today, I'm going to cover how awakened people train on a daily basis. What kind of training does team leader Jeong Da-hyun usually do on his days off??
-I usually focus on training on days when I don't have any missions. I need to be familiar with the weapon so I don't want to part with it, and I also train in martial arts and firearms to prepare for situations where I don't have a weapon..
Lies. I was born with talent and gained wealth and fame, but I train so hard? can not believe it. Taehyun Kim typed on the keyboard, feeling a sense of hostility toward the two who were trying to take away even the keyword, “effort.”.
There were many people who thought similarly, and malicious comments poured in. The manager quickly blocked it, but it was enough for the two people watching the chat window to see it..
Nevertheless, the two showed no reaction. I didn't like it any more. Just when you thought he was going to tease you until you responded, Junho Choi opened his mouth..
-Let's start training now. When I'm not training individually, I mainly do guided sparring..
The two looked away from the chat window, took out the wooden sword hanging in the corner, and faced each other..
I guess it's just for show anyway. After playing house a few times, it was obvious that we would say, “We are working hard.”.
The Awakened are a people who enjoy wealth and honor through the talents given to them rather than through sweat and effort. It will happen again this time.
As Kim Tae-hyun thought that, the two wooden swords began to move..
Wow!
The sparring between the two went far beyond Kim Tae-hyun's imagination..
Choi Jun-ho's wooden sword moved sharply and quickly as if it could split the air..
Dahyun Jeong's wooden sword, which corresponds to this, was sleek and colorful. Although he was able to defend himself with sword strikes that dazzled his eyes, Choi Jun-ho's strong sword strikes easily broke through the defense..
bang!
-Hmm!
As the wooden sword exploded on her shoulder, Jeong Da-hyeon took a breath and hurriedly stepped back to regain her balance. As if he didn't want to miss even that, Choi Jun-ho's wooden sword stabbed in persistently..
The swordsmanship was so persistent that it took my breath away just looking at it. Jeong Da-hyeon, who was not prepared, allowed the attack once again..
puck!
Choi Jun-ho didn't care for anything. Every time Jeong Da-hyun's defense was neutralized, the wooden sword exploded without fail, and Jeong Da-hyun moved desperately while the eerie sound of the strike rang out just by hearing it..
“Oh, no!”
Kim Tae-hyun, who was watching, shouted without realizing it and was shocked..
At some point, I was rooting for Jeong Da-hyun..
The person who hates awakened people is so immersed in it.?
This is unbelievable. However, when I see Jeong Da-hyun holding on so persistently that it is pathetic, my heart feels tickled..
Why are you doing your best like that?.
Haven't you been called a genius? Jeong Da-hyun, in her early 20s, has reached level 7 and is a genius with wealth, fame, and skills. But why are you so desperate?.
“······.”
At some point, Kim Tae-hyun completely lost the will to write malicious comments. Instead, I couldn't take my eyes off the two's sparring. I was rooting for Jeong Da-hyun, who was swinging around accurately and struggling desperately..
But there was no twist.
Choi Jun-ho's wooden sword was so mean that it could not be described as an understatement, toying with Jeong Da-hyun and hitting all over her body. His shoulder, where his wooden sword had been hit and torn, was bruised bright blue..
It's probably the same everywhere else too..
-town!
20The sparring that lasted for over a minute ended with Jeong Da-hyun being stabbed in the abdomen with a wooden sword..
-So far.
As Choi Jun-ho withdrew his wooden sword, Jeong Da-hyeon rolled over on her back and gasped..
-ha! thank you.
-Normally, it will attack even if it is knocked down, but the limited time is over, so that's it..
“Sounds that don't even sound like words!”
At Choi Jun-ho's words, cries poured out toward him. Taehyun Kim was the same. No matter how much it's broadcast, you're criticizing Dahyun Jeong for being rude.!
The comment section became a mess as complaints directed at Choi Jun-ho and Choi Jun-ho's shielders joined in..
-This is gentle..
Wouldn't it be normal to say that this was overdone??
Choi Jun-ho said that he was gentle until the end..
