Episode 207
“….”
Yang Joo-hyuk came to his senses and had a mesmerized expression on his face. All of this felt like a dream. But the reality did not change.
The one who approached him was Berserker.
“The world is inherently unfair like this. “The powerless have nowhere to complain even if they are trampled on unreasonably.”
“Berserker.”
“Choi Jun-ho is right. Justice without power is just bullshit barking into the air. “There is no place for someone with radical ideas like you.”
“How strong do you have to be?”
I said this with a feeling of resentment.
Either way, Berserker answered calmly.
“I should become much stronger than I am now.”
“Could you tell me the criteria?”
Wouldn’t a Berserker who has been by Choi Jun-ho’s side for a long time be able to give him some advice?
Although I gave in to violence, I wanted to at least know clear standards.
“well.”
Rather, Berserker also had an ambiguous expression. Surely Berserker doesn’t know?
After thinking for a moment, the words that came out of his mouth were shocking.
“It should be at least as good as mine.”
“yes?”
“I still can’t tell the world about my justice. Why do you think that is? It’s all because of that guy. If it weren’t for Choi Jun-ho, I would have been treated as a superhuman and continued to win. Of course, it wasn’t fun so I would have kicked it out right away.”
“….”
The last words did not reach my ears. It was that shocking. There is conflicting opinions about Berserker’s inaction, but within the Blue House, he is evaluated as a superman comparable to the 12 Zodiac signs.
He is the zodiac sign of a league like no other. Although he is not as good as a teenage superhuman, his Berserker skills are enough to be considered the strongest in Korea except for Choi Jun-ho.
Even such a superhuman can’t assert himself? How strong do you have to be?
“Even if it looks cool on the outside, you have to have the skills to handle it.”
At least in their early teens.
Although he is said to be achieving outstanding results among his peers, there was a long gap before he reached that stage.
Can you get there?
No, I couldn’t even be sure whether I would be able to reach superhuman status in the first place.
It was such a distant goal that normal people would have given up at that stage.
“I will try.”
Yang Joo-hyuk burned his will. If you are an awakened person, you must strive to become stronger, and as you have a specific goal, you will be able to reach it if you work even harder.
“You are a formidable idiot. “Why don’t you become Berserker?”
“I decline. Even so, a head breaker is better.”
“He’s a real idiot.”
Berserker clicked his tongue.
* * *
Even though he achieved his goal(?), Cheon Myeong-guk returned with Yang Ju-hyuk with a dark expression. Wasn’t it originally meant to fix Yang Joo-hyuk’s messy hair? Despite that, I couldn’t understand why his expression was so dark.
Berserker approached me while I was feeling puzzled.
“We got an interesting guy.”
“Did I reap it? You made it all by yourself.”
“I became someone’s idol and looked at you and tried to be like you, so you must have had an influence on me.”
And then the Berserker looked at me and smiled lowly. It was a look I didn’t like.
I didn’t want to become someone’s idol, nor did I want to ask myself to become someone’s idol.
It is contradictory to say that I bring in an idol expert who is my idol in English to create my image. But aren’t people inherently contradictory beings? Just accept it calmly.
By the way, since it was Yang Joo-hyuk, I thought he might change when he graduated from the academy and came to the Blue House.
However, the guy who was a villain in the past seemed unable to even hide his temperament.
The extremeness shown at first glance was reminiscent of the villain Innerclow that I had seen in my last life.
Since he had an extreme tendency to deal with a subject he had no skill in, it was perfect for him to die while fighting. Still, he had talent, so I suppressed it. This world is quite difficult for those who go out on their own. What he needed was self-respect.
If you can’t follow the advice given, it would be perfect to go somewhere abroad. That’s none of my business.
It’s like I’m back to normal, but it’s not easy for a villain to adapt to society.
As I was praising myself like that, I saw Berserker looking at me with a strange expression.
What can I say? It’s a face I don’t really like.
“What are you looking at?”
“I just saw it.”
I don’t like it. I feel like I’m not feeling well. Can you teach me a trick?
“…I have an appointment so I have to go.”
As if reading my thoughts, Berserker hurriedly left the room, saying he had an appointment.
He ran away before I could catch him and suddenly I was left alone.
“People are becoming more perceptive these days.”
I didn’t like it very much.

Although I was unable to have much conversation with Cheon Myung-guk due to the Yang Joo-hyuk issue, I felt that this special investigation could be a stage for Cheon Myung-guk.
The Awakened Brainwashing incident, in which several guilds from the political and business circles were intertwined, was an incident that shocked both Awakened and non-Awakened people.
In this case, where it was possible to tie up even a small piece of evidence, it was a report of imputation that could single out all the suspects at once.
Cheon Myeong-guk was now able to legally eliminate those who could be a hindrance.
“This approach is also interesting.”
As someone who didn’t normally enjoy watching TV, I enjoyed knowing the inside story and watching the news.
In particular, since each channel had different tendencies and goals, there were differences in tone, and it was quite interesting to see the process of interpretation based on the given information.
Since I couldn’t see anything else if I only watched one, I chose to install multiple TVs. Four TVs were installed with same-day orders. And as I watched the news on four channels, I could clearly see how the world worked and how they were trying to incite it.
Is it the President’s resourcefulness or is it Cheon Myeong-guk’s awakening?
It’s fun to watch that part. There is also meaning in installing a TV.
“I’m here.”
While I was in the middle of watching the news, Yunhee came home and looked at the TVs installed in the living room and shouted at me in horror.
“it’s crazy? “What kind of TV did you install?”
“What’s the problem?”
“No, who installs it so ignorantly?”
“The bigger the TV, the better, and the more monitors the better. “Isn’t this good for you too?”
Yunhee looked puzzled at my words.
“What do I like?”
“There are four TVs.”
“huh.”
“You can watch four dramas at the same time on 4 devices.”
If I can enjoy news on 4 channels, Yoonhee can enjoy 4 types of dramas at once.
“…!”
Yunhee trembled as if she had been struck by lightning. I just realized that he’s taking up more time on TV than me.
[I completely missed it.]
In fact, taunting Yunhee is the easiest thing in the world.
Since he is faithful to capitalism, he can faithfully show the taste.
I curled up the corner of my mouth.
“Well, isn’t this beneficial?”
“How dare you? Four dramas. “This is a total profit.”
I just need to know. I shifted my gaze to the news screen.
“I’ll get out of the way during the drama, so don’t disturb me.”
“okay. “The drama starts an hour later, so it’s my job then?”
“okay.”
“Yep!”
Yunhee entered the room excitedly. With the distraction gone, I was able to focus on the news again. This time, it is related to the opposition party’s offensive. When the ruling party is in disarray, they are also working diligently to take the lead in the political situation. To me, it looks like the Blue House and the opposition party are joining hands for the same purpose.
“Look at politics this way.”
[Why are you suddenly interested in politics?]
“You need to know what’s going on in the world.”
[When did you become interested in such things?]
Well, I don’t think you can be trusted when you say this.
I mentioned the change that occurred in my feelings.
“It’s good because it’s certain that you don’t just explode the head and kill it.”
[It’s good, right?]
“It’s also attractive to move the situation like that and make it impossible to move.”
Up until now, when I saw them messing around, I thought it was just a trick of people who lacked the strength to do it, but looking at it these days, I now know why they do it.
It had a different taste from force.
Just because I like the taste of chocolate doesn’t mean I hate the vanilla taste, you can get sick of it if you only eat one, so you can think of it as discovering a new taste.
“Anyway, if you make a mistake, I’ll just smash your head.”
[…Wow!]
Looking at the admiration, Yongyong seems to agree.

“How have you been, brother?”
It’s been a while since I met Dahyun Jeong. Jeong Da-hyeon, who went on a hunting expedition, hunted countless monsters, and the results were so great that he was repeatedly praised by the National Science Monster Research Institute.
Although he looked fine on the outside, traces of the recovery agent were felt throughout his body.
It is a medal for hunting that has been around for a while.
“What did you do to get so hurt?”
“While hunting monsters.”
“I heard you went far away?”
“Yes, I went near Dokdo.”
Jeong Da-hyeon, who was getting a feel for monster hunting, suddenly changed course and became interested in marine monster hunting. And he went back and forth between the Yellow Sea and the East Sea to hunt various monsters.
He had a hard time at first, but after getting a feel for it to a certain extent, he succeeded in hunting countless monsters.
Dahyun Jeong mentioned the use of intuition as the secret.
“It was difficult to move in the water, I had to pay attention to breathing, and most importantly, visibility was also a problem. The more I try to carry around equipment, the more sluggish my movements become. So I decided to minimize the equipment.”
Jeong Da-hyun, who was trying to somehow make her movements smoother, even threw away the equipment that secured her vision and chose to use her intuition to sharpen all her senses.
Then a surprising phenomenon occurred. The use of intuition has reached its peak, creating the effect of opening gifts without being conscious of it. Jeong Da-hyeon, who maintained this condition, hunted sea monsters in all directions, up to level 7 monsters three days before the hunt.
Because of the difficulty of hunting monsters in the sea, level 7 was like dealing with monsters approaching level 8 on land.
“I realized a lot of things. “The more you put yourself in extreme situations to sharpen your senses, the faster your progress will be.”
“…Amazing.”
Was that why? Jeong Da-hyeon’s prayer was surprisingly well-organized.
If it’s too strong, it radiates outwardly. You are using up your strength without even realizing it. However, when you reach the level of mastery, you reduce the emission of unnecessary power and store it internally.
What a monster. I was looking forward to seeing how strong Jeong Da-hyun would become.
“Can I go further from here?”
“there is.”
“Really?”
“Let’s go hunting together sometime soon. “I need to know exactly what condition you are in.”
“I like it!”
“Tell me more about the hunt.”
“Yes, while hunting in various places, the one that impressed me the most was near Dokdo…”
Jeong Da-hyeon almost drifted due to dealing with various marine monsters and an abnormal phenomenon that occurred in Dokdo, but was also caught up in the monsters and ended up floating on the surface of the sea. He happily talked about how easy it was to hunt.
I could become a superhuman much faster than I think.

While the domestic situation was going well, an incident occurred that shook Japan inside.
Hwanwol Nakayama, who was once known to have switched to the League and then returned, attempted to assassinate the Prime Minister after carrying out a secret mission, failed, seriously injured him, and ended up on the run.
The media was shocked and rushed to analyze the cause of this incident.
All kinds of speculations were rampant, starting from the fact that he had a villainous temperament when he went to the league, that the Prime Minister had a disagreement, that he took out his anger on the Prime Minister for having a bad relationship with people around him, and so on.
None of them contained correct information.
No, he might be deliberately pretending not to know.
As with Yang Joo-hyuk, I think the villain needs to be rewritten.
Actually, I thought this could happen.
Of course, there is a possibility that it will either turn out well or face a catastrophe.
I just gave him a choice.
however.
Japanese media began to post articles claiming that Nakayama had been to Korea on a mission and had been behaving strangely ever since before attacking the prime minister.
And by chance, he got me involved and started giving off nuances as if I had ordered Nakayama to attack Prime Minister Takeda.
…How did know?
It seems that both Korean and Japanese reporters basically have the talent to be novelists.
This impact also spread to Korea.
The reporters who gathered on their way to work the next day were not only Korean but also Japanese.
“Is it true that Superhuman Choi Jun-ho met Superhuman Nakayama?”
“What did you talk about when you met?”
“Is there anything you can explain about the theory behind the attack on the prime minister?”
Still, the positive thing is that all questions are asked in Korean.
When I ask questions in Japanese, they don’t even pretend to listen, so this may be an improvement.
“I met Prime Minister Takeda during my visit to Japan and he was a great politician and leader. “I wish Prime Minister Takeda a quick recovery. Cheers!”
“….”
First of all, I prayed for your recovery.
“If the Japanese government requests and gives me arrest authority, I will personally go to Japan and arrest Nakayama.”
“….”
Why is there no answer?
