The president and Jin Se-jeong talked for a long time. It was to the extent of canceling the next schedule that was originally scheduled.
“It was a good time.”
“It was an honor for me to meet the President too.”
“The idea of team leader Jin overturning the board was radical yet novel. Please take good care of Choi Jun-ho and Cho-in.”
At that, Sejeong Jin shook her head. A look of wonder appeared on the president’s face.
what did i say wrong
“I may be presumptuous, but I don’t think you should think that you are controlling Superman.”
“then?”
“You have to understand.”
“understanding?”
“yes. I understand. It is necessary to understand what Superin-nim really wants. It’s not about wielding Superman with my own will, but about helping Superin-nim’s decisions to achieve the best results.”
“Help, that’s a difficult word.”
“But if you were the president, would it be possible?”
“It’s an atmosphere where I have to say it’s possible.”
“Because I believe you will.”
“I realized that I was mistaken about the words of Team Leader Jin. Be careful.”
“Thank you for your kind understanding! I’ll just go.”
Jin Se-jeong bowed her head and went outside.
“… … .”
The president was immersed in thought for a long time even after Jin Se-jeong passed away.
Chun Myeong-guk expressed his concern when he went inside to inform him of the next schedule and saw that his contemplation was prolonged.
“President?”
“Oh, I was thinking. What’s next?”
“Canceled.”
“It was. I was confused.”
“Did you not like the conversation with Sejeong Jin?”
“No, I really liked it. It made me realize that in a world I didn’t know there were conspiracies and schemes I couldn’t even imagine.”
In particular, I was impressed with the last thing I heard about Choi Jun-ho that I had to understand.
It’s all I’ve tried to understand with just a few lines of data.
I thought I had built up a human bond, but maybe it wasn’t, the president reflected a little.
“Does Director Chun know about idols?”
Cheon Myeong-guk shook his head.
“I only know a little bit about it. All I know right now are idols who debuted 20 years ago… … .”
“Right. That must be the general perception.”
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“Team leader Jin Se-jeong, whom I spoke with today, is a very talented person.”
“Is that so?”
“I could see why Junho Choi was so successful in improving his image. The view is very sharp. He has the ability to accurately see the essence of events and lead them in the desired direction. I am showing humility. Even though he knew that Junho Choi was an idol expert, he embraced him without prejudice.
Chun Myeong-guk learned that the president had been greatly impressed by Jin Se-jeong.
Did you say visual art director? I thought that idols were just idols, but that might be my own prejudice.
“If I have the ability, I need to become close so that I can guide Choi Jun-ho to the superhuman.”
“No, I didn’t want that.”
“then?”
“I wanted you to understand Choi Jun-ho more than you do now. What do you think Choi Jun-ho really wants? level 9? Or the status quo? Better treatment?”
“… … .”
“Maybe we couldn’t close the distance because we were only thinking from our point of view.”
“I know what you mean. I guess I did too.”
Fortunately, the problem was discovered before it happened.
The president became curious about the place where Jin Se-jeong, who gave him enlightenment, was there.
“I should take a look at the idol world.”
As Jin Se-jeong said, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to look into and study in such a spectacular world.
“How about doing something together?”
“Oh, I see.”
On the other hand, Chun Myeong-guk, who had no thought at all, accepted the president’s proposal with a trembling expression on his face.

It was while visiting the office that I heard the news that the president had summoned Jin Se-jeong.
Suddenly at the Blue House? I wondered if the Blue House finally recognized Jin Se-jeong’s competence. I hope you don’t mean to scout. Are you saying that Jin Se-jeong is going to change jobs? It’s been a while since you raised your salary, do you need to raise it again? How could this happen when Lee Se-hee is busy? My head hurts a little.
Hiring talented people was never an easy task.
Se-hee Lee said that frequent salary increases are never good, and said that the harmony and chemistry of the people in the team should be considered.
Jin Se-jeong, who returned to the office not long after, expressed her impressions of visiting the Blue House as if to let her know that my worries were in vain.
“It was fun. I thought it was great. Because he is such a person, I learned that he is at the pinnacle of power. When I saw him on TV, he seemed like a good person.”
“Weren’t you scouting at the Blue House?”
“Is the Blue House talking about me? Aw, that’s ridiculous.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“Do not worry. I like it better now. It’s fun to know what the world doesn’t know about the superin-nim.”
Somehow that sounds scary, is it a misunderstanding?
You’re going to write malicious comments for me. Could it be sincere
“I think the image was good.”
“yes. Feeling like peeking into a new world? But now this isn’t important. Did you hear about the new level 9?”
“I heard.”
As soon as the news spreads, my smartphone catches fire, so I don’t know.
By the way, it was level 9, so to be honest, the content didn’t really impress me.
I am currently level 8, and when I become level 9 after a while, what will change for me?
None.
Rather, I think that only annoying things will increase.
But why do people think I’m going to do it?
When I went back to the past and worked as a civil servant hunter and even tried superhumans, I think that the more rights, the better, and fewer duties.
The strong basically enjoy more rights.
However, the state does not allow it to stand still.
After being locked in the frame of legality, it makes them fulfill more obligations to enjoy their rights.
As I became a superman, I was relieved to a large extent, but there is an invisible, intangible pressure.
Increased duty is not a good thing.
There is a big difference between hitting a villain when you see it in front of you and scouring for a hidden villain.
If you eat and play, they will push you to hunt monsters.
It only expands from the national scale to the world scale.
There are no real benefits.
But is there any reason to do it?
“Shall we guess what Choin thinks?”
“Why?”
“Hey, that’s fun. Maybe Superin doesn’t even care about level 9? Don’t you think that it will only increase annoying things?”
“… … .”
Also Jin Se-jeong is a ghost.
Do I have to have this level of talent to become a malicious commenter who shakes my mind?
“I think Choin-nim is right.”
“Are you serious?”
“sure. Just looking at the level 9 is a joke. Why would you put something like the World Superpower Alliance into the new level 9? It is a story about sacrificing for the world outside the framework of belonging to the country. It will probably only add a lot of annoying things.”
Surprisingly, my thoughts coincided.
Jin Se-jeong called it a light apricot.
“I’m going to burn myself down for a great cause. If it’s not like this, I think I’m in a much better state now.”
“It’s a similar idea.”
“Also. Just be careful! I’m just going to try to push it around. Superman must not get involved in this! I’m not the type to get involved anyway, so I’m not worried about it.”
“I’ll be careful.”
But is it worth paying attention to?
I looked to see if there was anything more Jin Se-jeong could ask for, but there were no further words.
“After all, my job is to assist Superin-nim.”
“What if I get to level 9?”
“Then you have to do it that way. There is another way to do that. All you have to do is make an image as a hero who will save the world!”
Trustworthy. I especially liked it because it didn’t try to wield me.
After building up a certain level of friendship, most people want to use my power.
Sejeong Jin or Dahyun Jeong are free from this interest?
“yes! You can do the rest in your own way. I can cover it!”
If so.
Sooner or later, when the opportunity arises, I will try to solve it in my own way.
“And I have one more request.”
“yes? What is it?”
“It can be a little difficult.”
“Hey, what are you hesitating about between me and Choin-nim?”
Aren’t the employees who pay a lot of money and the employees who are prone to malicious comments?
I mentioned the main point because I thought I would fall into a bog if I went deeper.
“It’s about bringing villains into society.”
“If you’re a villain, are you talking about Berserker-sama?”
“you’re right.”
I said it was possible in front of him, but I thought it would not be easy… … .
“I could! Leave it to me!”
“… … .”
So easy?
“I did some research on Berserker-sama. But this is really fun. If you cover it well, it can actually lead to a reversal of public opinion. Trust me!”
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Jin Se-jeong’s lips as she spoke.
I thought it would be very difficult, but I didn’t think it was bad.
It’s good, it’s a waste to taste this malicious comment by myself.
The blue dragon who was watching said a word.
[When it comes to work, he seems to be a person whose expiration date has passed by about a month. How come there are no normal people around you?]
“… … .”
Actually, I was surprised too.
* * *
… Jin Se-jeong warned of the surrounding atmosphere, but surprisingly, no one tried to push me away.
was it raining?
I didn’t want to hear it anyway, but something felt strange.
As Yong-yong said, it’s because they all have a bit of a taste.
[When I see it, I think it’s because you don’t even think you can eat the seeds.]
There is no need to refer to the words of the Blue Dragon that interprets anything badly.
[Are you ignoring my words that have gained insight through years of accumulating wisdom?]
They say that Berserker isn’t crazy, so would you believe it?
[Is the expiration date expired? Why do you think that’s normal?]
Let go of the buzzing boy’s words.
There was no one around to encourage me, so I thought I could do whatever I want.
I ate dinner with my parents after a long time. Showing only good things in a good place and serving only good things, it felt good to make up for the mistakes I made in my last life.
But, as always, new concerns arise. I asked my parents.
“Is there anyone who annoys you or is there anything that annoys you?”
[Don’t tell me! he’ll kill them all Whoa!]
I grabbed the blue dragon, rubbed my hands, covered my mouth, and waited for my parents to answer.
“none. These are trivial things. I am doing well thanks to my son.”
“Did your relatives ask you to borrow money?”
“I kept my mouth shut at an appropriate level. You seem dissatisfied, but what can I do?
I didn’t know that, but after I hunted the remains of a level 8 monster, I even got close to my in-laws’ cousins and annoyed my parents.
I wanted to take this opportunity to clean up, but my father said he would take care of it, so I turned my attention away.
Seeing that nothing has been said so far, it seems that I have nothing to worry about.
“Isn’t it inconvenient to go with a bodyguard?”
“At first, it was a bit awkward, but now it’s rather comfortable. It’s good to have someone to talk to.”
“I like it too. It’s hard to find someone you like right now, isn’t it? I’d rather be friendly with someone who protects me.”
The safety issue that I paid special attention to while taking my parents to Seoul was the issue of safety.
Right now, this apartment is also equipped with a state-of-the-art crime prevention system, using a bodyguard from the Awakened on its own, as the upper classes live together. Separately, he hired a bodyguard to protect his parents and went with them.
It might be uncomfortable, but I’m glad you’re okay.
“And I think the offer will come in at level 9 this time. I wonder what you think.”
I decided internally, but I was curious about what my parents thought.
“To be honest, I wish I hadn’t.”

My father’s words were unexpected. I thought your son would say it would be great when he reached level 9.
“You don’t hear a lot when you come here. I don’t think any place like the United States or the Coalition of Superpowers would have made an offer with pure intentions. When you don’t know, it’s best to refuse and watch.”
“I want my son to be famous, but now is enough. I will trust Junho’s judgment.”
[Why are you crazy but your parents are normal? Miraculous.]
“… … .”
Yong-yong says something right after a while.
[I only say the right words.]
It’s a problem to say the right words together.
Anyway.
It made me feel reassured that my parents trusted me like this.
“Yes I will. If you ever need anything, just tell me.”
“What do you need? Of course it is.”

Mother’s eyes lit up.
what?
“I wish Junho would bring a true woman and marry him… … .”
here all of a sudden?
Just as I was confused on how to respond, my father said in a stern voice.
“What the hell is it all of a sudden? You should expect what you want.”
“Would it be difficult?”
“Speak of course.”
“… … .”
I couldn’t even answer, and I became an invalid.
Why is the conversation going like this?
* * *
The news of the new level 9 made a stir around the world.
James Reed, who is staying in Korea, also heard the news.
‘It’s nothing special.’
He knew right away that it was a ruse to trap Choi Jun-ho, but he wondered if it would actually work.
Other Awakeners would rush to the title of level 9, which means ‘the world’s strongest’, but Choi Jun-ho, whom he saw, was unlikely to do so.
Anna Christine also criticized it and drank strong whiskey.
“It’s stupid. It’s a typical egocentric decision with no understanding of Choi Jun-ho.”
“Also.”
“Because they think they move the world, that’s what they think. That arrogance gave birth to a monster called the League.”
“League.”
James Reed’s expression hardened. Anna Christine handed her a bottle of whiskey with a look of understanding.
He sighed as he watched him inhale.
“The league is a monster, James.”
“know.”
“Now is the time to be patient.”
“I know that too.”
“Are you having a hard time holding it?”
“I can bear it. If it’s to kill the Hell Master.”
The smell of blood mixed with whiskey emanated from the voice that bit his teeth.
“Anna… … .”
She is the fiancee of James Reed, who died during the League’s quasi-war.
At the time, James Reed couldn’t do anything.
Helplessness awakened him and made him the macho man he is today.
But the murdered fiancee never returned.
“I guess that girl’s name isn’t Anna.”
Anna Christine grunted dissatisfied, but didn’t say more because she knew how hard James Reed had been living for revenge.
After a moment to cool off, James Reed asked.
“Then what should we do?”
The plan to make Junho Choi level 9 is ultimately for the United States. James Reid and Anna Christine are people who work for America. Watching what seemed to be a failure made my heart ache.
I had to gather all my power to clear the league as soon as possible, but I kept trying to turn around.
“You just have to keep watching.”
“Would you like to wait?”
“Yeah, if we come forward and express our opinions, will we be blamed for our failures?”
“But you might as well ask for our opinion. I can use research as an excuse, but what is Anna going to do?”
“Let’s take a break this time.”
“What?”
James Reed was surprised. Anna Christine was famous for having very few breaks in order to quickly climb up.
So she’s resting?
“Just because you move quickly doesn’t mean you get promoted quickly. I will take this opportunity to rest and watch the situation unfold.”
“It’s not going to go their way anyway.”
“Do you see it that way?”
“Any other thoughts?”
“No, I think the same.”
Anna is right.
However, the fact that he had to intentionally let go of his hand at a time when sprinting at full force was not enough made him frustrated.
“It’s frustrating that it’s the best.”
“James has changed a lot too.”
“what?”
“In the past, I felt smart, but now I get Zola even when I talk in English. Aren’t you caught up in the concept?”
“ah… … .”
A playful word to lighten the mood.
But it is true.
It seems that he was adjusting to Korean without realizing it.
James Reed, who was stabbed, sighed and scratched his head.
“Yes. It’s cool.”
