The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 236

That’s how Jeong Ju-ho’s training began in earnest. From the beginning, I was told that if I touched it, it could die, so it decided to come to me after going through the Berserker course.

Actually, Jung Joo-ho is not a person who just got carried away like Berserker. Rather, it is like a flower in a greenhouse that has taken an elite course. You don’t want to handle it and end up trampling it.

[Is that bud a hair?]

That is included, but of course not.

Yongyong must have been quite proud of the story about the drug developed in the United States.

Either way, Berserker training has begun.

“Kkekeke This training course is one of two. “Either go out dead or go out as a superman.”

“Huh?”

Jung Joo-ho realized something was wrong and made a dumbfounded expression.

But it was already too late.

“wait for a sec!”

“I don’t have any specifications.”

“Do your best.”

I left the training room after leaving an encouraging message. Even though the soundproofing system was good, screams began to echo.

Berserker tends to chop things up very well, so he won’t kill them.

Just when I thought I had done everything I had to do. I stopped when I saw a small figure arriving in front of me. It was Jin Se-jeong.

“Superman. “Are you okay for a moment?”

“What’s wrong?”

“That’s not it, I have a question.”

“Speak comfortably.”

What on earth are you trying to say? The Jin Se-jeong I know is a person who shares her thoughts without hesitation.

I wonder what you’ll say.

“Okay, then I’ll ask you straight.”

After taking a moment to catch her breath, Jin Se-jeong asked me.

“Can I awaken the gift too?”

“Team leader?”

“Yes, I am not an awakened person or anything, but I was wondering if it might be possible if I try harder from now on.”

Jin Se-jeong spoke to me with a serious expression.

This was also something I didn’t expect at all.

It is a gift awakening for non-awakened people. It will not be easy unless you have had systematic training since childhood. The reason I say no 100% is because some people realize their talent too late.

First, we need to gauge how talented Jin Se-jeong is.

“Reach out your hand.”

I took the outstretched hand without any hesitation.

“It will sting.”

“Huh!”

When the mine was pushed in, Jin Se-jeong moaned and then clenched her teeth in surprise. In the meantime, we explored Jin Se-jeong’s entire body using mines to gauge his talent.

“It looks difficult.”

“Is it as expected? Ah, I still expected a little.”

“If you started training early in your life, you might not know. If you try it in your current state, it will only hurt your body.”

“Then I can’t help it. I don’t want to do it to the point of hurting myself. But aren’t you curious?”

“Which one do you mean?”

“What kind of gift do I have?”

This was unexpected. As was the case with Kang Woo-tae, it was revealed that even non-awakened people have potential gifts. It is only manifesting little by little because we cannot open it. Since Jin Se-jeong is a talented person, there is a high probability that he has an inherent gift.

But why does Jin Se-jeong say this?

“I was wondering if there was a way to help the superhuman. “It may not be very likely, though.”

“thank you.”

“You can explore. Instead, please raise my salary later.”

“Then I won’t hesitate.”

I set out to find Jin Se-jeong’s gift.

* * *

In the end, my expectations were correct.

Jin Se-jeong’s Gift Search In terms of the results, it was like picking up a gem while walking down the street.

Next to him, Yongyong could not hide his surprise.

[This is a huge achievement in an unexpected way?]

“Yes.”

The gift inherent in Jin Se-jeong was none other than ‘control’, a gift that allowed her to turn a given situation to her advantage.

It was possible for Jin Se-jeong to lead public opinion and present advanced trends because of the potential of this gift.

What you are good at can be turned into a gift. This was also one of the conditions for gift generation.

When you interfere with the Force, you can control the Force itself. After digging a little deeper, I found out that the utility value is endless.

Perhaps its utility goes beyond that of a legendary gift.

I want to test it in real life to see just how good it is.

Before that, there is something to point out.

“Yongyong.”

[Yes.]

“What should I do to deal with the Thunderbird?”

[….]

Yongyong’s mouth closed at my direct question. Others would have waited for him to respond, but I didn’t think so and urged Yongyong.

“Can’t you share information because we are the same divine beast?”

[No, it’s not like that. [I did it because it was completely unexpected.]

Yongyong, who had said something I didn’t believe in at all, looked hesitant and then spoke with difficulty.

[The Thunderbird is strong.]

“I know.”

[It must be stronger than the monster you faced? Will you be able to deal with me even if the thing called full recovery disappears?]

“You’ll understand when you stick with it.”

Rather, because I dealt with the Heavenly Demon Armor, I was able to identify and supplement my shortcomings.

I’m still growing. I catch monsters, but I don’t think there’s anything I can’t catch just because I’m a divine beast.

Yongyong seemed to know that I was going to correct him, so he corrected me.

“I’m not saying we’re going to deal with the Thunderbird right away. “I’m trying to acquire the information you have in the current situation and come up with a plan.”

[okay. First of all, if you face the Thunderbird, you can never win.]

“Why?”

[The Thunderbird will never confront you head-on. Thunderbird is the fastest of all divine beasts. If you can’t keep up with that speed, you have no choice but to collapse from a one-sided attack.]

Yongyong said that he and Hyuna were not watching for no reason.

I guess it’s because of its annoying abilities rather than its overwhelming strength.

“I have to slow down that speed to be able to deal with it.”

[Right.]

“How?”

[The Thunderbird’s high-speed flight can be seen as a power. That power must be destroyed with equal power or there must be an overwhelming power that surpasses it.]

“If you don’t stop the exercise of power, you can’t deal with it?”

As I said that, I remembered the gift I got today. If you interfere with the controls, wouldn’t it be possible to disrupt the Thunderbird’s high-speed flight?

I got the hint and immediately asked.

“What if I interfere with the exercise of authority?”

[Well, I don’t know because I’ve never seen a being other than a divine beast interfere with the exercise of power, so I don’t know?]

“Then it will be effective.”

Yongyong said that I could not defeat the Thunderbird, but did not express that the Thunderbird’s strength was absolute. What this means is that there is a way to stop high-speed flight.

Even if it is a divine beast, it is ultimately a living being with a form. If you beat it, it will take damage.

[What are you going to do?]

“You are here.”

[Huh?]

“What does it mean to be a good friend? Isn’t that what gives you strength in times like this?

The method I came up with was simple. All you have to do is practice interfering with the power of the Divine Beast.

Before my eyes was a great(?) divine beast named Yongyong. Even if the Thunderbird is stronger than him, we can guess to what extent.

Yongyong jumped up as if he hadn’t expected it at all.

[Now wait a minute! Why me!]

“You said you would cooperate in catching the Thunderbird?”

[Still, I didn’t know it was this way. And I also have pride as a divine beast…]

As expected, Yongyong’s reaction was fierce.

Like he said, Shinsu’s pride? There might be something like that. However, I was able to get an idea of what he was really up to as he seemed indifferent the entire time and at one point approached me asking to be friends.

Just looking at this guy, he came here at Hyuna’s behest.

On the surface, Hyuna and Yongyong appear to be colleagues, but they have an invisible superior-subordinate relationship. He probably thought it would be better to become friends after talking to Hyuna about various things when she left me.

The result would have been an absurd friendship ratio and a friendship based only on words.

For me, it’s not a bad suggestion at all. Originally, being friends means maintaining a close relationship without any flaws since childhood, but aren’t there also social friends who know each other and exchange what they need?

If you think of Yongyong as the latter case, you will feel at ease.

Since when have we been such close friends? All we have to do is take what we need from each other.

[This is not it…]

Regardless of whether Yongyong is crying or not, I just have to get what I can get.

As he watched me, he tried to slip away, so I drove a wedge in.

“They said they were friends. “Can you do it?”

[…Okay.]

I wonder how much Shinsu can withstand my attacks.

“Thanks to you, the Awakened Brainwashing incident was able to come to an end. “Thank you.”

“It wasn’t a big deal. “But you weren’t as flashy as I thought?”

I thought this was Cheon Myeong-guk’s debut, but his name wasn’t mentioned in the media as much as I expected.

So I thought I might have hit the candle in the middle.

“It’s not easy to leave an impact before debut. “The name was not engraved on the public, but the name Cheon Myeong-guk must have been engraved on the vested interests of the Republic of Korea.”

They made Kang Woo-tae look like an idiot and put him on the prosecution photo line, so people who knew that Cheon Myeong-guk was responsible for this incident must have had a strong impression.

The plan is to go step by step, not just one shot.

Cheon Myeong-guk expressed his gratitude.

“Thank you for caring me. “I will do my best not to disappoint you, Adept.”

“Yes, I look forward to it.”

Anyway, the world is big and there are a lot of people to kill, and accidents happen every day in Korea, a small country. Among them, there are many ways for Cheon Myung-guk to stand out.

“This is not the main business, but I called you for two reasons. “One of them is scheduled to have guests from Europe.”

“europe?”

“Saint Alessia and Sir Franz.”

It was a completely unexpected name. It was mentioned a few times when the Heavenly Demon Armor appeared, but it disappeared after the hunt was over, and I wondered if there was some reason.

“Old Franz, even if that’s the case, why is a woman called a saint coming?”

“On the surface, he said he wanted to hear about the Plus Plus level monster hunting process and talk about the world situation with the world’s strongest superhuman.”

“I’m not interested in the world situation.”

“But the influence is the best in the world. “It’s inevitable that they will be concerned.”

“It’s a bother, can’t I just tell you not to come?”

Since they were famous people, it was clear that various things would be bothersome if they came.

“In the case of the saint, she is a superhuman who appeared without any signs, so why not take a look?”

After hearing these words from the President, my thoughts change again.

Now that I think about it, the name of a saint was something I had never heard of even in my last life. Even though I don’t have much accomplishments, it’s annoying to use a grand nickname.

“Well, I was curious about your face.”

“There were many people who were curious about the saint’s identity.”

“I’ll see then.”

“Sure.”

The President immediately moved on to the next agenda item.

“This is a story about Shinsung Group’s team leader Lee Se-hee. In cooperation with the government, they carried out an operation to create noise within China. But this team leader went even further and planned to divide China. That created quite an effect. “Is this true?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“haha. “It’s difficult.”

The president let out a laugh. Why bother? Aren’t good things good?

“This team leader is flying with wings like you. “To the point where people around me feel burdened.”

“What do you mean it’s a burden?”

“This incident. I’m glad the results are good, but if the results aren’t good, big problems can arise. In that case, the risk that the government will take on is significant. But we can’t argue. “It’s because Shinsung Group is close to you.”

“I don’t care.”

Even if Shinsung Group disappeared tomorrow, a useful tool would have disappeared.

Then it will be a bit uncomfortable.

“But we can’t capture all of a person’s subtle emotions.”

“There will definitely be some gray areas.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“But which part should I pay attention to? Lee Se-hee? Or Chairman Lee Young-moon? Holy guild? Shinsung Group itself?”

“It’s Shinsung Group. Currently, its power is enormous. “The government doesn’t want there to be two people it can’t handle.”

When you say it like this, it sounds like it’s still at a manageable level.

When working with Lee Se-hee in the future, we will have to let go of the government’s position. The fact that there are more and more things to worry about means that I am adapting well to society, right?

“All right. Next time something happens, we will try to connect with the government.”

“Yes, thank you. And this work is bringing great benefits to the government as well. Thank you again.”

“I think that’s something you should say to Lee Se-hee, not me.”

“I’ll call you privately and talk about it.”

The President and Lee Se-hee are resourceful, so they will talk about it on their own.

Once the Shinsung Group story was over, I brought up something I had been curious about for a while.

“But…”

“But why?”

“You said a little while ago that you don’t want them because you can’t handle them.”

“It did.”

“Then what is the other one?”

Was there something else comparable to Shinsung Group that I didn’t know about?

“….”

The President and Cheon Myeong-guk looked puzzled at my question.
