Episode 336
Choi Jun-ho left. As I said earlier, I went to destroy the league base.
“….”
Jeong Da-hyun remained silent and looked at the spot as if glaring. Rather than resentment for not being able to go together, I felt more disappointed with myself.
If we were stronger than we are now, we could have been together.
Choi Jun-ho’s justice was radical, but it had the power to change the world.
Jeong Da-hyun, who was faced with the powerlessness of her own justice, wanted to become stronger.
But I couldn’t reach it this time either.
After pondering over and over again, she requested a meeting with the president.
The president of a country is not something you can see right away just because you want to. However, Cheon Myeong-guk, who was taking special care of Da-hyeon Jeong, made time to meet her.
“stop? What do you mean?”
“That’s…”
Jeong Da-hyeon tried to continue, but Cheon Myeong-guk, who was very excited, cut her off.
“Is it America? “Didn’t you say that you didn’t think much of it until recently?”
“Oh, I’m not planning on going to America.”
“Then where is it? “I thought you knew that other countries wouldn’t approach?”
“It’s not like that.”
Dahyun Jeong expressed her intention to focus on training for the time being.
After entering the Blue House, I could train while working, but as I learned that I could not join Choi Jun-ho in defeating villains, I realized that I wanted to focus on training more than now.
“….”
Cheon Myeong-guk, who was surprised at first but then listened to Jeong Da-hyeon’s words with a calm expression, nodded in understanding and expressed his thoughts.
“Personally, I am against it.”
“yes?”
“I know I want to work hard to become a superman, but I heard that the more I desperately try to hold on to the level of a superman, the farther away I get. Even if you break away from your existing routine and focus earnestly, it will be difficult to see great results. “Especially in the case of an awakened person like Secretary Jeong who has a lot of training.”
“But I still want to do it.”
“Are you saying we can’t do it in parallel?”
“I could do it, but I feel like I’ll be shamed if I’m negligent.”
At the very least, it meant taking responsibility.
Cheon Myeong-guk, who was pondering, said.
“Then let’s do it this way. “Try to beat me.”
“yes? “The President?”
Jeong Da-hyun’s eyes widened at the completely unexpected words. I don’t know that Cheon Myeong-guk is an excellent awakener. Still, he is the president of a country.
“Are you belittling my skills?”
“It’s not like that. “It’s not like that.”
“You don’t have to worry. “I’m not at the point where I’m going to get beaten up yet.”
It was after the simulation was opened that decided Cheon Myeong-guk’s fate. Until then, he had given up on developing as an awakened person, but he resumed training to increase the use of his gifts.
He had been giving up due to poor performance for a long time, but when he gave up his greed, he found himself achieving surprisingly good results.
As such, expectations arose that he might be the first superhuman president.
As he became president and received thorough management, his efficiency increased.
In his current state, he was confident that he could defeat anyone unless the opponent was a superhuman.
“If you defeat me, I will consider Secretary Jeong’s wishes positively.”
The moment she heard those words, Jeong Da-hyun’s eyes changed.
“Really?”
“That’s right.”
“Then I will not decline.”

Yes, Dahyun Jeong was the most promising talent among the new talent. A super prospect who is said to become a superhuman within 5 years.
However, he was also a level 7 awakened person and a skilled person who had gone through all the preliminary training. I thought that if I had the simulation skills and was at the peak of my career as a politician and an awakened person, I would be able to overwhelm him.
And I realized once again that the simulation can go awry the moment an unimaginable force intervenes.
“Are you okay?”
“…haha.”
The moment he saw Jeong Da-hyeon’s worried face, Cheon Myeong-guk let out a helpless laugh.
It was literally an instant. I allowed Jeong Da-hyun to dig in beyond my imagination, and for a split second, I ended up in a mess.
It was so secret and fast that even the pain came late. Cheon Myeong-guk realized that Jeong Da-hyun’s skills were beyond his imagination.
“I will keep my promises. I will keep my promises.”
“thank you.”
“Instead, you can continue as secretary. “We will provide all convenience even if you don’t go to work.”
“yes? However, it is a huge benefit.”
Dahyun Jeong was ready to refuse. Cheon Myeong-guk smiled at the upright appearance.
“It is a natural investment for future superhumans.”
“Still, it’s a burden.”
“Then let’s do it this way. “We are putting them on leave.”
Cases of sudden leave of absence from work often occur.
Cheon Myeong-guk added his words to ease the burden on Jeong Da-hyeon.
“Instead, all you have to do is promise not to leave Korea once you become a superhuman.”
“That’s natural.”
“That will do. “All you have to do is leave the rest to me and Secretary Jeong do his best to be a superman.”
If a genius of that level has made up his mind, what can he not do?
Rather, we need to actively promote it.
“…thank you. Instead, I will actively participate in the President’s plan.”
“What if you have a plan?”
“You are thinking of your uncle as your next successor, right?”
“…!”
I was caught off guard at an unexpected time. Jeong Da-hyun smiled at him as he pondered what to say.
“You don’t have to worry. I haven’t told my uncle yet. I also think my uncle can do well. “I will actively cooperate.”
“I don’t think Juho will like this position that much.”
“When my uncle is released, he is released. “If there is anything I can do for my country, I will accept it with joy.”
Both Cheon Myeong-guk and Jeong Da-hyeon knew that that couldn’t be possible, but they were of one mind and one mind.
Some kind of transaction was concluded in the absence of the parties involved.

After leaving the Blue House, I recalled the information Nakayama delivered.
The League’s secret base located in Japan. This secret base played a decisive role in the massive League invasion.
As Japan is an island country with great economic power and power, the league has been working behind the scenes for a long time, and even if its advance into Japan fails, it does not expose its secret base to the surface to plan for the future.
[I was here.]
“How did you find out?”
The secret base was located in Sapporo, the central city of Hokkaido.
As soon as I arrived here, Yongyong appeared.
[It’s easy to find out where you are.]
“Have you talked to Hyuna?”
[Oh, I did it. There is no problem. I also have no intention of treating Leviathan any more negatively.]
“Really?”
If so, it didn’t really matter.
[To catch the villains?]
“Uh.”
[Don’t worry about me. Do what you have to do.]
The way they obediently retreat seems to indicate that they are going to follow up with surveillance.
I decided to discuss that later and started looking for the secret base.
This base has been receiving supplies from Russia for a long time, and is establishing itself as an ordinary awakened guild rather than a secret league base.
“It’s the same everywhere, wearing an appropriate mask in sunny places.”
As soon as I arrived in Sapporo, I immediately hit the road. Although it was May, the weather could be said to be chilly, so wearing a coat didn’t look out of place.
He didn’t seem to have much interest in me right away. Thanks to this, I was able to confidently cross the street and head to my target.
Still, they are setting up a base on the outskirts of the city to avoid prying eyes. The area where the main building was located was so deserted that the League’s villains could come and go freely.
The place disguised as the league’s secret base was the Nisshin (にしん) guild. It is a word that refers to a herring caught in Hokkaido, but it also has a different meaning, meaning two different hearts.
It seems like they have no intention of keeping this a secret.
It’s none of my business.
Perhaps because it was in a remote location, the defenses were extremely poor.
There were only two guards standing at the entrance.
[It’s a piece of cake.]
That’s right.
Are you sure that you won’t be suspected in the first place? It doesn’t matter to me.
“Who are you…!”
puck!
After easily dealing with the two, we went inside. The internal structure of the building was ordinary. No, there were traces of effort made to look normal everywhere.
I thought I did a pretty good job of keeping my head down.
“Even so, it doesn’t mean much.”
Just take care of everything you see.
This secret base is also the league’s base for entering Japan, but if you dig deeper, I think its specific purpose will come out. However, I had no intention of finding out what it was, so I planned to kill and destroy them all.
If you do that, you’ll probably get caught up in something.
* * *
Sapporo Mayor Morita had been keeping an eye on the Nisshin Guild for a long time.
This guild, which is made up entirely of excellent awakeners and has good hunting results, is an excellent guild that guarantees the safety of Sapporo.
It’s only on the outside.
What made Mayor Morita sense the abnormality was that the volume flowing into the Nisshin Guild was higher than the average and that there was a difference in personnel when going out to hunt and when returning.
While the guild was hunting monsters, there were injuries and deaths, but the numbers were very irregular.
If several strange things emerge, the suspicion becomes true.
So, we calmly collected information and learned that a serious crime was being committed here.
Once solid evidence was found, a search and seizure was planned to proceed immediately.
If it weren’t for the sudden report.
“The Nisshin Guild building is on fire?”
“yes! “It is clear that something went wrong.”
“Assemble the awakened people. “Go directly to the site!”
Mayor Morita, who sensed something ominous, immediately summoned the awakened people. And about an hour later, we moved to the place where the Nisshin Guild was located along with about a hundred awakened people gathered in front of Sapporo City Hall.
The sudden change caused an uproar as there were no people who did not know about the Nisshin Guild, which had been established for a long time in Sapporo.
‘There’s definitely something there.’
Mayor Morita busily racked his brain amidst the commotion.
There is no way the Nisshin Guild, which has been cultivating its power for a long time, will suddenly be caught up in an accident.
Even I wouldn’t have noticed that it was strange if I hadn’t dug into the strange coincidence of coincidences one after another.
These are the people who moved so secretly. And among those who commit crimes, there is only one place where they can move like this.
‘League.’
I was thinking that the Nisshin Guild might be a minion of the League. However, because pushing ahead without solid evidence could result in a counterattack, we steadily collected evidence to gauge the timing.
That was around the time we arrived at the place where the Nisshin Guild headquarters was located.
Mayor Morita, who saw the fire rising beyond, felt that things had gone completely wrong and accelerated his pace.
“Mayor!”
“….”
Mayor Morita took the lead without answering. The awakened people who were following in a chaotic atmosphere also came to their senses belatedly and began to increase their speed.
Mayor Morita, who arrived at the headquarters one step ahead, was amazed at the scene unfolding before his eyes.
“Ah…”
A man was standing in front of a place completely engulfed in fire.
He was a man who felt as if it was natural for him to burn everything down, like a flame burning the whole world.
Mayor Morita, as well as his aides who followed him, froze. The man’s presence was so overwhelming.
“no way?”
“There was someone who was quick to notice.”
“you.”
It was the moment when Mayor Morita was about to mention the identity of the head breaker.
“Let’s just assume this is what they did.”
“What is that….”
“I burned down the League’s hidden secret base, so that would be enough of an achievement. This is proof of that.”
What was thrown in front of me was a bundle of documents.
“Applause to you for your great achievement.”
The man who carelessly clapped his hands three times turned around and kicked the ground.
His body, floating high in the sky, became blurry and soon disappeared.
“….”
Even though I had been staring at the scene in front of me just a moment ago, I couldn’t tell if it was a dream or reality.
Only Mayor Morita, who knew full well who had done this from the beginning, let out a deep sigh.
“I feel like I’m possessed by a ghost.”
