Episode 79
‘This is a big deal.’
Alarm bells were ringing one after another in James Reed’s head.
I never thought Choi Jun-ho and Guillermo would meet so early.
The reason why I break out in a cold sweat is, of course, because I remember what Guillermo was talking about about Choi Jun-ho.
Before attending the meeting, I participated with hundreds of pages of Choi Jun-ho’s information in mind.
Mexico suffered great damage due to the emergence of the newly introduced harmful Level 8 Plus. Meanwhile, Guillermo lost his best friend.
He expressed his anger at Choi Jun-ho for hunting alone, saying that the danger level of plus level monsters had been manipulated.
James Reed understood Guillermo’s feelings, but thought the direction of his anger was wrong.
Strictly speaking, it was a mistake on Guillermo’s part to think that Choi Jun-ho hunted alone and that it was similar to other level 8 monsters.
While looking for someone to turn that resentment towards, Choi Jun-ho was chosen.
‘We responded well.’
In the case of the United States, plus level monsters were hunted without significant damage through a thorough response system from the beginning. The Nuri hunting briefing was of great help here.
At the same time, there was a heated debate internally, and the main question was, ‘Is it true that Choi Jun-ho hunted this alone?’
James Reed concluded that neither he nor any other superhuman could hunt alone. That’s how strong the plus stage monsters were.
However, looking at Choi Jun-ho, I get the feeling that he may have hunted alone.
If it is true that he hunted alone, Choi Jun-ho’s status will reach a completely different level than it does now.
Become one of the world’s strongest superhumans.
Maybe he and other superhumans were trying hard to ignore that reality.
Anyway, one thing was clear.
‘If I interpret incorrectly, Guillermo will die.’
James Reed recalled Choi Jun-ho’s personality.
A tendency that is infinitely far from a righteous superman and infinitely close to a villain.
If you take one more step from here, Choi Jun-ho is a superman with a cruel hand who would not be surprised to be called a member of the 12 signs of the league.
If something bothers them, they will use their hand first, regardless of their social status. They are narrow-minded and narrow-minded, so they will never ignore the person who cursed them.
The advantage is that there is no material or sexual desire.
Choi Jun-ho’s hands do not discriminate between men and women. A representative example was Anna Christine, who suffered severe mental damage from an attack due to her age and had to rest for a month. In the United States, there are a lot of awakened people trying to get a glimpse of Anna Christine.
Due to this incident, the plan to mobilize the beauty world was completely abandoned.
And the fact that it is hard to say that it is not a good thing to have no material desires leads to donations, and while digging into the corruption of a lunch box company, the incident spread to the mayor of Seoul and a member of the National Assembly, proving once again that the existence of Choi Jun-ho is a time bomb.
It’s a problem if you reveal it, and it’s a problem if you don’t reveal it.
It has the personality to cause a storm wherever it is placed.
‘If I do something wrong…’
James Reed thought about the impact his interpretation would have.
Just imagining it was terrifying.
Guillermo is a superman called a pillar of Mexico, and his pro-American tendencies serve as a bridge between the United States and Mexico.
Because of him, the U.S. and Mexico maintain amicable relations even though they share a border.
But what if Guillermo isn’t there?
Other Mexican superhumans with anti-American tendencies will try to confront the United States.
It will create tension on the North American continent. Also, by killing a superhuman, Choi Jun-ho will be ostracized by other superhumans.
If it is true that he hunted plus-level monsters alone, it will become a valuable resource against stronger monsters that will appear in the future. This means that we can contribute more to the world.
We cannot allow such resources to turn the world into an enemy. James Reed had a determined expression with a sense of mission.
This collision will be prevented by yourself.
“okay. “I’ll try my best.”
James Reed began interpreting between the two.
* * *
James Reed accepted the offer to interpret and I conveyed what I wanted to say to Guillermo.
What I wanted to say was simple.
Why do you blame me for your weakness?
So let’s hunt well.
Wouldn’t it be better to improve your skills during that time?
Since I couldn’t understand the language, I calmed down a bit.
If the guy didn’t realize his mistake and rebelled, I was going to use my hands mercilessly.
But our conversation began to play on James’s unexpected tricks.
The process of interpreting Guillermo’s words was strange.
“You exaggerated your hunting! Are you that strong? “Your poop is thick!”
“You said you have a lot of money to keep all the hunting to yourself? “Take a shot!”
“Yeah, you’re great! “Go bald!”
Guillermo is clearly speaking seriously. But after hearing it through James Reed’s mouth, the words took a strange turn.
The guy’s expression began to look strange, as if he had noticed the transcendental interpretation.
But isn’t asking to go bald crossing a line?
When Jeong Joo-ho complained, I ignored it, but when I actually got into his shoes, I felt like I had been doused with cold water.
Has your hair become thinner? I’ll have to check it out.
I asked James Reed, who was moving his mouth as if it were water.
“Is he really saying this?”
“huh! “It’s true!”
“I don’t think so.”
“Really! “Trust me!”
“······.”
It seems like something changed a lot in the middle.
James Reed responded to my gaze with innocent eyes.
Since I don’t know Spanish, it’s hard to argue anymore.
But it was clear that it was a transcendental translation.
I see that Nana Guillermo’s mood is much softer than at first.
“If you’re dissatisfied, learn Spanish! “It’s so easy!”
In the meantime, he calmly deceives.
You macho man, no, from now on you are a petty man. It’s clear that the little guy was playing tricks in the middle.
When Nana Guillermo says no more, the little man laughs.
“haha! I think there was a misunderstanding because we pestered each other. In my opinion, these two could easily become close friends, right? So let’s get along! huh? “Zola best friend!”
“You two get along well.”
“It’s not that bad! Guillermo is a huge foodie! “As an apology, I’ll ask Guillermo to make Mexican-style soybean paste stew.”
“······!”
Does such food exist?
Mexican style? What kind of style is added?
The little man looked at me and said with a triumphant expression.
“Aren’t you curious? “It’s going to be delicious, right?”
“If it doesn’t taste good, it won’t be fun.”
“haha! “Trust me!”
Guillermo cooks, so why do I trust you?
“Come on, let’s share the good things with each other! You know that saying! We Are the World! hmm! “I like it!”
“······.”
It seems like this guy is fluent in Korean, but he’s deliberately pretending that he can’t speak it.
Aside from that, I was able to try Mexican-style soybean paste stew under Jola Man’s intervention.
···hmm! Guillermo may not be as bad a guy as you think?
* * *
Japan, which succeeded in attracting the World Supernatural Day event to Tokyo, was making special efforts to make this event a success.
It was planned to be a propaganda venue to show off national power by letting people around the world know that Japan was not dead.
So, it was natural to keep a close eye on the movements of the superhumans.
There was also a secret plan on the Japanese side that caused Choi Jun-ho and Guillermo to stay at the same hotel.
If a conflict occurs, it will result in the elimination of the other country’s superhumans.
It was never a bad thing for Japan to see other countries’ power decrease and their image deteriorate.
Even more so if people from neighboring countries are included.
The Minister of Awakening submitted a report to the Prime Minister.
“Junho Choi and Guillermo encountered each other but did not cause a collision.”
“Why?”
“James Reed is said to have intervened.”
“Macho Man… I heard that Choi Jun-ho is not the person to respond to mediation.”
“James Reed was brilliant. I hadn’t even thought about it that far. sorry.”
Macho Man James Reed It’s easy to be deceived by his rugged appearance, but in reality, he is an elite among the elite who graduated from Stanford’s doctoral program.
He is one of the superhumans that Japan is most wary of in this event.
It is a style that combines civil affairs and military affairs with the skill to take care of national interests in any situation.
“It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do. Choi Jun-ho is a bomb anyway, so there won’t be many opportunities, right?”
“That’s right.”
“He has considerable skills, but he has a bad temper. “Because a bomb can explode anytime, anywhere.”
“There are a few popping points.”
Among them, Minister Awakening pointed out the Nuri hunting process.
While hunting harmful level 8 plus monsters that have appeared all over the world, the number of superhumans questioning the hunting information provided by Korea has increased significantly.
Neither the Prime Minister nor the Minister of Awakening doubted the information provided by Korea. Based on that, I established a manual and was able to hunt plus level monsters with less damage.
However, the presence of a young superhuman who could be considered the best in the world in a neighboring country was burdensome.
Even if the relationship is close to an alliance.
“Jealousy can obscure the truth. Just fan yourself from behind. “Our existence must never be revealed.”
“They are naturally energetic beings, so even a little push will cause an incident. “We will try to alleviate the situation as much as possible.”
“Good luck.”
The Minister of Awakening bowed his head deeply.
* * *
The opening performance that opened the event was truly excellent. Taking advantage of Japan’s strong soft power, a variety of performances were performed to delight the viewers.
I feel like a huge amount of money was spent on that event. I thought it was a country with a lot of money.
Chan-taek Lee said that several common agendas are being decided for the World Supernatural Day event, but it is optional for each country to accept them.
“If you accept a lot, you can win the favor of UPN. Although UPN cannot provide direct help, it can provide indirect help in many directions. “In this era overflowing with lies, it is the place that delivers the most objective information.”
Lee Chan-taek explains that its authority is considerable as it is the largest event where superhumans gather from all over the world.
As various opinions of awakened people are gathered, there is important content and it is often of great help.
“It’s very popular.”
“My face will be pierced.”
I felt all eyes on me from earlier.
Several plus and minus emotions were conveyed, such as jealousy, anger, life, longing, and respect. I feel like a monkey at the zoo. I guess I’m itching to test my skills.
You can check, but you will have to be prepared.
Before deciding on a common agenda, each country made a presentation.
Starting with Japan, the host country, the United States, China, England, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Canada, Brazil, India, South Africa, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea, a total of 20 presentations will be made, including announcements of the hunting results of the G15 Awakened nations and five reports on unusual cases.
This announcement was meant to show off the achievements of each country.
Countries that are unable to completely solidify their monster defense front due to insufficient awakened power require the help of G15. And in the case of Africa, the systematically organized power of awakened people was absurd. The G15 took advantage of other countries’ interests by dispatching military power to foreign countries.
It is a place for information exchange, but when you peel back the surface, it is a place for diplomacy where the interests of each country are sharply conflicting.
I didn’t have any brains to use here, so I just listened to other countries’ announcements with one ear and let them go with the other. In some countries, the results were excessively exaggerated, and there were those who thought that doing so could lead to big trouble later.
But there is no reason for me to come forward and point that out. I just spent some time quietly listening.
Then it was finally our turn. The expressions on the faces of officials from each country came to life as we were the ones who started the first level 8 plus hunting for remains through Nuri hunting.
Our first presenter was Lee Chan-taek.
Standing in front of the podium, he began his presentation in a calm voice.
“I will brief you on the hunting process for Nuri, the No. 1 monster classified as Plus Level. As those of you who know me know, the avant-garde guild I lead failed to hunt for Nuri.”
“······!”
When he calmly confessed his failure in a place where everyone was proud, the people gathered in the hall were surprised and focused on Lee Chan-taek.
Amid the pouring gaze, Lee Chan-taek explained the process of hunting Nuri in a voice no different from the first time. How did you prepare before the hunt, how did Nuri respond during the hunt, and how did the Avant-Garde Guild suffer?
“I made all my guild members retreat and stayed alone to try to stop Nuri. However, at the time, Nuri’s gift was so powerful that it was impossible. “I thought I was going to end up like this.”
The awakened people listened closely to the vivid stories of failure. Humans learn from failure. In my opinion, Lee Chan-taek’s presentation was the most nutritious of all the presentations today.
“The person who saved me from becoming a traitor to the citizens of the Republic of Korea was Superhuman Choi Jun-ho. “If I can say one thing for sure, it is true that Superhuman Choi Jun-ho hunted Nuri alone.”
Should we view Lee Chan-taek’s words as simply an act of promoting our country’s superman, or should we think that the suspicions have been resolved?
It doesn’t matter as long as you don’t start a fight with me.
The problem is that they keep talking behind my back.
“Superin Choi Jun-ho will tell you the process of hunting down Nuri.”
The eyes of the awakened people focused on me this time. I followed Lee Chan-taek and stood in front of the podium.
As I looked around, I could see the mixed emotions in my eyes more clearly.
Some of them were shaking with excitement.
Well, the number of superhumans is just a number, but there are also many people who cheat on their level.
Since I became a superhuman at a young age, there are probably many people who want to expose that as a lie.
I think like this.
Anyway, the process of Nuri hunting is widely known in each country, so is there any need to explain it in a painful way?
If you don’t believe it, you will continue to disbelieve it and chew on it.
I held up the paper I had copied for me to read. When the mine was triggered, it was struck by lightning and was shattered into powder.
One thing is certain: the effect of focusing attention.
“Anyway, no one knows how I hunted Nuri, and those who don’t will not believe it until the end, so is there any reason to say something that hurts? “Everyone who is dissatisfied, just raise your hands. I will explain in a friendly way.”
Of course, I will tell you with my body, not with words.
My words were translated into languages all over the world and spread.
