Episode 283
started with Eric Clarkson, but the subsequent story of the doctors was mainly about how to efficiently squeeze out non-human graduate students.
To be exact, it is training for younger students.
But why does it sound like I’m being squeezed? Actually, I also work hard when training someone, so I don’t think it’s much different.
That’s the way things are in the world.
If you listen to the words of doctors, professors, and excellent awakeners, graduate students are like cows.
A perfect creature with nothing left to waste from head to toe.
The generous graduate student was a partner who could perfect their research.
There were many similarities between the gift self and the graduate student, who were able to play various roles such as allowing me to possess more gifts, develop and apply them, and assist in battle.
It’s a word that becomes bones and flesh.
“If I do that, won’t I get shot?”
I was truly curious about that part.
If I were a graduate student, they would be villains and evil.
Rather, Eric Clarkson shouted with a proud expression.
“That’s not right! Instead, give them enough money and fame!”
“okay?”
“huh!”
I thought it was because he spoke so confidently. The reason I’m not worried is because I think we’ve completely subdued them.
Even if you try to suppress them right away and make it harder for them, they will surrender right away.
When we finished the conversation, a man came up to me and spoke to me as if comforting me.
“Jun Ho! Don’t listen too carefully. “It’s because I’m excited for the first time in a long time.”
“There are a lot of things in common with that, right?”
“That’s right. “Because both graduate students and gift egos are in a position where it is difficult to resist.”
Well, considering that Mandeuk rebelled against me at first, it’s hard to understand what Jolaman said.
I still remember it. The guy who attacked me, who was sane, and called me crazy.
Although we gave him true education right away, Mandeuk’s malfunctions are still stored in his memory.
Zolaman advised me, who could not sympathize at all, not to be too forceful with my gift self.
When I asked about the reason, I was told that there were quite a few cases where a graduate student who was being pressured by a professor buried the professor alive or shot him to death.
I was warned that my gift self could do the same.
“The self means that it can think, right? Then you have to treat it well. Because the egos are moving for Junho! “This is a bit difficult.”
“Yes, but.”
Hmm, should I worry about malfunctions during battle?
The little guy said this because he was worried about me, but I thought differently.
“All I have to do is step on it so much that I can’t even think of resisting.”
“….”
“This is how it works, right?”
“That’s true, but…”
The little man looked like he had a lot to say, but he didn’t open his mouth further.
No, if I have something to say, I will say it. Why are you making me wonder?
But in the end he didn’t say anything more.
In that case, I guess I should treat Mandeuk like graduate students and manage them well so that their rebellious spirit does not sprout.
Mental education begins today.
* * *
The theory of the gift ego and the parallel world of graduate students was quite impressive, so I set out to investigate the graduate students.
Anna Christine There were many smart people around her, so I thought she might know people who were graduate students, so I asked her, and she started pouring out words as if I had been waiting for her.
“It’s hell! Are you a graduate student? When I was a graduate student, I was treated worse than my friend Clara’s dog Puppy by a professor. “I had to resist the urge to shoot myself in the head with a shotgun 15 times a day.”
Then he started talking about all the absurdities the professors were talking about.
Judging just from what I hear, I get the feeling that professors are worse than villains?
Why are you still alive?
by the way.
It seems like all professors, including their tight colleagues, have a gift for squeezing out graduate students. This is something I want to learn too.
For a moment, I looked at Anna Christine in amazement, her face full of heat.
“What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t know you were a graduate student too.”
“Is that why it’s fascinating?”
“I think I have lived a more fulfilling life than I thought.”
“Then you thought I got here just because of my beauty and body? This floor isn’t that easy. “I am a talented person with beauty, body knowledge, and skills.”
He snorted and made a haughty expression, but I thought he was only giving me confidence.
The worst thing to do in a situation like this is not to accept what they say and change the subject.
“Anyway, I feel sorry for the graduate student.”
When he didn’t respond, I immediately made a pouty face, but then I realized it.
“It’s pitiful. “Because there are very few people who hold out until the end.”
If that’s the case, then I feel sorry for Mandeuk, too. My thoughts were different, but I thought Anna Christine’s words made sense.
“Then you can take care of them too.”
Give yourself a few hours of vacation every time you achieve something. Of course, mental education comes first.
After getting the hint, I started preparing welfare for Mandeuk.
* * *
About a week after arriving in the United States.
In the meantime, I dealt with the villain faithfully.
We wiped out league villains based on information provided by the U.S. government, but it was just for reference and we didn’t necessarily go looking for villains belonging to the league.
The league’s villains are villains, but it’s safe to say that those working secretly within LA are also potential collaborators.
Even if you only deal with the league villains by pinpointing them, as long as your head is alive, the villains from lower level organizations will become your collaborators and fill in the vacancies.
The most efficient way is to completely destroy all that is visible.
As the saying goes, if you see one or two cockroaches, the house is already a den of cockroaches, and the same was true for the villain.
The number of villains dealt with by my hands reached about 5,000. The reason why the pace is lower than at the beginning is because there are cases where people abandon the base and run away.
Even so, I couldn’t hide my traces, so I chased down and wiped out most of them.
Still, it is true that when using this method, the speed of clearing was slowed down, so the pace slowed down.
The U.S. government seemed to have different ideas.
“It’s all thanks to you.”
Herbert, who visited with Daniel, spoke to me with a smile.
Seeing people smile like that even when they almost killed me makes me think that’s how people are.
No, politicians may be great.
“Currently, the activities of villains in LA are extremely reduced. The league forces are also disorganized as they lose dealers and lose their focal point. “This is a performance that exceeds our expectations.”
“It was worth it.”
“That’s right. Headbreaker, as always, you went beyond our imagination.”
Although it is praised repeatedly, there is no reason to be deceived by the words. This was a deal and I just did it because it didn’t go against my usual thoughts.
The US government also used me.
Since they made a deal with each other, there is no reason to like or dislike them.
However, I think it would have been known by now that I was here, so I think highly of the politicians for not bothering me.
“There were protests from the party during the process, but it was actually good as is.”
“Are you on bad terms with the party?”
“It can be seen as an ambiguous relationship that cannot be said to be good or bad.”
“Wait a minute…”
“It’s okay, Daniel. “The party will also approach, so it would be good to have some knowledge.”
After stabilizing Daniel, who was trying to restrain him, Herbert explained the relationship between the party and the United States.
Before monsters appeared, the party was the world. It is said that the influence of this force, which exercised absolute influence over Europe and North America, was enough to shake the entire world, and was so powerful that even the President of the United States could not show his strength.
“But the appearance of the monster changed everything.”
What caused the party to experience upheaval was the disconnection of the Atlantic Ocean connecting North America and Europe.
The party’s strength has been drastically weakened by a being called ‘Leviathan’, who is now said to be a plus-plus level monster or divine beast.
The final blow here was the division of the league.
As the division between North America and Europe continued, the party’s power shrank and its global influence became limited to North America.
“It is said that there are currently two presidents in the United States. “Herbert in the sun, Phantom in the shadows.”
Although it has faded, its influence is still powerful in the United States, and it is said that it still exerts an influence that surpasses that of the president.
At least now I’m at a level where I can rebel.
“That’s what’s improved. “In the past, a president could only become president if his party gave permission.”
Herbert, who once followed the league, is said to have realized that its essence was the pursuit of power. Then, I got a glimpse of the true nature of the party, which naturally led to disappointment.
During the presidential election, the opposing candidate had a hard time receiving support from the party, but after overcoming it with his personal skills, he is making every effort to reduce the party’s influence.
In any country, the war of nerves over power is enormous.
He revealed that while in the past the party exerted enormous power by controlling global finance, it is now gaining strength through the black market traded behind closed doors.
The biggest ones are New York and LA, but one of them, LA, was wiped out because of me.
“Headbreaker Thanks to your power, we have the opportunity to suppress the party. thank you.”
“That’s none of my business.”
“Still, I am grateful.”
“I guess you forgot what I was trying to kill you?”
“Haha, I guess I was lucky.”
“That’s positive.”
“Life is short if you only look at the good things. “I will continue to try to see only good things.”
That’s a pretty impressive statement. But that was all and there was no real inspiration.
No matter what anyone says, you can do it on your own. I was asked to oust the League forces from LA, and I just thought it would be a natural solution if the villains were eliminated.
The reduction in party power is just a natural by-product of that process.
“And the reason I came today.”
Only then did Herbert reveal the purpose for which he had come to visit me.
“I will come find you at the party.”
“I hope we never meet?”
“If that’s the case, you won’t meet me?”
“why me?”
“I thought so too. “I hope we don’t meet each other as much as possible, but I don’t mind if you do.”
Herbert coolly retreated.
“The party is also in the United States, and if you try to meet, you can’t stop it. “It’s not like we can stop it even if we try.”
Herbert had a very regretful face, but there was no reason for me to care about that.
It looks like the business over there is over now.
My business remained.
“I hope to receive what I promised.”
“Of course I prepared.”
The document Herbert presented was the payment for my request.
“This contains everything we have prepared for Thunderbird.”
* * *
“….”
I was lost in thought after reading the information about the Thunderbird provided by the U.S. government.
I thought it wouldn’t be easy based on what Yongyong and Hyuna said, but after seeing the information recorded by the U.S. government, I was able to realize its strength more concretely.
“The Thunderbird is strong.”
[That’s right, it’s strong. Do you understand now?]
“Okay.”
There were many things I was lacking in as of now.
I’m not saying I’m losing. I am confident that I will kill the thunderbird, but the problem is that my chances of being safe are not high.
Of course, I wanted to win and I had no intention of dying together just because it was an eyesore.
You need to think of ways to increase your odds of winning.
It’s not that there isn’t a way.
[Is there a way?]
“There is.”
[What is it?]
First of all, there is something to increase your gift mastery.
Increasing gift power is the most necessary element when hunting monsters. But this alone is not enough.
What I think is crazy is that our graduate students collaborate organically.
Eric Clarkson did that. It would be difficult for graduate students to work together and leave, so it would be ideal to keep them divided in normal times and then have them join forces when doing research.
I don’t need the former. Even if we all work together, we can’t get out. Instead, it was necessary to strengthen organic cooperation.
And one more idea was added here.
“Wouldn’t it be good if there were more graduate students?”
[Is it possible to increase it?]
You should try.
At first I was negative, but then I thought it might be possible.
[How?]
“Wait.”
After leaving those words, I went straight into the world of images. And immediately, Mandeuk and Gwangsim gathered Jelyeon.
Even though they had not yet experienced full-scale graduate school experience, the three selves looked haggard.
The real hell hasn’t even begun and I’m already resigned.
The problem these days is that people have weak guts.
I looked around at the guys and said.
“You look like you’re having a really hard time.”
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
The three complained to me like fish out of water that they were having a hard time.
I pretended not to hear that and continued talking.
“The reason you are having a hard time is partly because the number is three. “It would be more comfortable if there were more people to help you, right?”
I came up with this hypothesis.
If egos such as Mandeuk exist, wouldn’t egos also exist in other gifts I own?
What if it exists and I can’t sense it?
I was planning on leaving the task of pulling it out to Mandeuk and others.
The more graduate students there are, the better.
I haven’t forgotten what Eric Clarkson said.
“If you can bring more, bring them. It will make you more comfortable.”
After hearing my words, Mandeuk’s mood changed drastically.
