“If you get caught, you go, that’s a wonderful word.”
“… … .”
Yang Joo-hyuk swallowed dry saliva at the admiration of the president. As Chun Myeong-guk was going to the National Assembly to deal with Choi Jun-ho, he was suddenly called, and he did not understand why he was called.
“Officer Yang Joo-hyuk.”
“Yes, President.”
“Choi Jun-ho’s superhuman appearance, isn’t it cool?”
“… … .”
Are you testing yourself? It was only recently that he received a warning from Cheon Myeong-guk and was educated by Choi Jun-ho for saying his ideology was radical. The report must have gone up to the president, so we can ask about that part.
After receiving true education from Choi Jun-ho, Yang Joo-hyuk admitted that he was wrong. A person without strength should not even have such an idea. He is the weakest among the weak who can have no influence on the world.
Not wanting to disappear without doing anything, Yang Joo-hyuk is concentrating on training, saving even time to sleep.
But the words that came out of the president’s mouth were unexpected.
“I personally think it’s cool.”
“… Yes?”
“Choi Jun-ho, Superin, shows a side that no one else can do. Confidence and outspoken actions based on strength are also actions that cannot be done in our society where respect and procedures are important. So attractive.”
The world calls it a villain.
Having said that, the president turned his attention to Yang Joo-hyuk.
“I heard that you admire Choi Jun-ho.”
“I realized it couldn’t be.”
“No, it can be.”
“Yes?”
“Can’t you be strong? If you become strong like Choi Jun-ho, even if the two officers act recklessly, who will stop them?”
“… … .”
Yang Joo-hyuk stared blankly.
“If you get caught, you go, it’s a wonderful story. I hope that both the officers will be strong so that we can become a society like this.”
“Yes, I will try.”
“okay.”
Having said that, the president fixed his gaze on the TV again.
Yang Joo-hyuk pondered what he had just heard. In the end, in order for everything to be possible, you have to be strong.
A simple and sure way.
“Be strong.”
The president smiled at Yang Joo-hyeok, who strengthened his will alone, and smiled cheerfully as he saw the members of the National Assembly wearing bamboo sacks.
“The loaches are struggling in their fishing nets.”
If you don’t like the result, you openly declare that you will use your hand, but will you be able to withstand it?
“It is an era in which only those who acknowledge and accept it will survive.”

Choi Jun-ho’s appearance at the hearing caused a huge aftermath.
What was swallowing up all the issues in Korea right now was related to Choi Jun-ho’s disappearance.
The youngest superman, the most powerful person in the world.
The Awoken, called the Headbreaker, who relentlessly blows away the head of the perpetrator, aroused intense likes and dislikes, but one thing was clear.
The fact that with Choi Jun-ho’s existence, Korea has become a safe country from monsters and villains.
Not only did it become the safest country from monsters in the world right now, but it also contributed greatly to the advancement of the North and played a major role in increasing national power.
It literally made him stand tall in the world.
Of course, the fact that Junho Choi disappeared while dealing with the plus-plus-stage monster, Pandemonium, which appeared for the first time, had no choice but to cause a huge aftermath.
As the demons appeared as if they had waited just in time, we could see how much influence Junho Choi’s existence had in Korea.
The people who supported Choi Jun-ho, as well as those who criticized him for being no different from a villain, were so curious about his life and death that it was literally a national concern.
It is unclear whether he was dead or alive, and the person who had been producing all kinds of conspiracy theories showed up at the hearing without a doubt, so attention is focused.
The National Assembly TV ratings, which had been on the floor, began to soar horribly.
The reaction was staggering.
-Are you crazy?
-Isn’t your head blown off if you make a mistake while testifying about this?
-???: Choi Junho always blows his head.
-???: Oh, this is not a threat. isn’t it? Really haha
-But just by standing still, the Force pierces the screen. Everyone around me froze.
– These guys, Choi Jun-ho went missing.
-Now it’s going to be a proper hearing, okay.
– Can you really try to crush him in front of Choi Jun-ho?
The hearing that started like that was a continuation of Cider.
When the witness made the testimony strange, he corrected it, confirmed that he was a villain and killed him, and the reaction exploded once again.
– The villain is really merciless;
– National Assembly TV rushed to broadcast on the 19th
– Kill them all! Kill them all!
– Did you get the word that Jun-ho Choi was compromising with the vested interests?
– It’s really brutal. If it were me, I would have peed.
-Look at the members of Parliament who watched you wince. I need to wipe them all out too.
– Garbage.
Eventually, when Choi Jun-ho sat in the witness stand, the chat window became so fast that it was hard to tell them apart.
– Crazy, crazy.
– Openly declares dissatisfaction with the verdict. But no one can say anything.
-Wow, I’m personally sanctioned, but I can’t even make a sound! Is this country?
-I’m tired of Choi Junho’s force. The members of the legislature can’t stop talking when they say that they go.
– The ruling party, corporations, and guilds will be wiped out.
– This seems to be the case for sure.
-But if it’s the ruling party, isn’t it on the side with the Blue House? Why is Junho Choi trying to hit it?
– I don’t know about Choi Jun-ho yet. Choi Jun-ho is literally the real deal. If you get caught, you go.
-Actually, the people in the Blue House and the ruling party suffered a lot. haha
-The opposition party, who couldn’t accept it, is the greatest lol
– Incompetence itself.
– What’s that last smile? It looks fresh from the outside, but the life inside is ㅋ
-This is the original murder smile!
– It’s a real murder, so it’s scarier.
As soon as the hearings were over, the Republic of Korea began to stir once again.
* * *
As I left the hearing, my taste buds were bitter.
You can’t use your hands in front of the people you want to kill. It felt meaningless to judge how wrong what had been done in a situation where the charges were already clear.
If you get caught, just go. Once again, I thought that the law was a means to protect those who had it.
Well, I don’t like it, but it’s holding your breath for a while.
Returning to the office, I met James Reed, who was sitting there.
“Jun Ho! I’m glad you’re safe!”
As always, he greeted me with a fuss.
“Are you serious?”
“Of course! how do you see me I want to go with Junho for a long time!”
After all, Zola Man has always been in this position. There are so many people who want me to die these days, so I misunderstood.
“Is it okay to go to China?”
“Shall we check in the training room to see if it’s okay or not?”
The guy bounced right back.
“paddle! I asked because I was worried, but the response is so frightening!”
“Or not.”
Although they are close friends, it cannot be overlooked that he is a superhuman on the American side. He must have checked my condition while asking for my regards.
He has a muscular appearance and his nickname is macho man, but he is known to be the smartest among superhumans.
I’m trying to erase that calculation with a slightly stupid concept.
Anyway, he’s a good guy with a good haircut.
“It was pretty dangerous this time.”
“To what extent?”
“He has intelligence comparable to that of a human. You can also apply your abilities.”
“… … .”
James Reed looked quite shocked at the word application. After all, if a two-horned monster appears in the future, you will have to face a creature with human intelligence and the ability of the monster.
“And the purpose of your visit must be a by-product of a monster.”
“… haha! You are so sharp.”
He’s a smart guy, so he must have come with a lot of intentions.
Of course, I intend to keep my promise.
I handed the piece of leather from the pangolin’s face to James Reed.
“yes?”
James Reed looked puzzled as if it was less than expected.
“I felt like I was going to lose, so I voluntarily committed suicide. All I got was the face.”
“Come on, self-destruct? Can a demon do that?”
“Oh, it is possible. and.”
I thought about whether or not to tell you for a while, but they said that I was worried about myself, so I decided to provide the service.
“If you self-destruct, any small town will be blown away.”
If it explodes in a big city, the city center will be blown away and the entire city will be engulfed in the aftermath of poison, effectively becoming a land of death.
Even I was used to full recovery, so there would be no one who would be safe from the poison.
“… … .”
James Reed’s expression hardened upon hearing my words. Knowing how to self-destruct with human intelligence will be of great help when responding in the future.
“It’s good to bring it to America. No, it would be better to publicize it to the outside world.”
“Is that okay?”
“It would be better than being harmed in vain. and.”
Giving only to me was not full.
“Please share with me how the United States is watching this and how you plan to respond.”
“okay. You gave me a lot of information this time.”
“It would be nice to have someone to take care of the troublesome work for me.”
“I thought so.”
“by the way.”
“yes?”
“Aren’t you going to test me to see if I’m okay? This would be a great opportunity to kill me.”
“no!”
James Reed ran away.
I was going to try my hand, but you’re very quick-witted.
When I was satisfied with my disappointment, Yong-yong suddenly appeared in front of me.
[I’m here.]
“Did you do well?”
[I saw you well. Can we talk for a second?]
“I have something to deal with after this, let’s finish it and talk.”
[okay.]
* * *
The remaining schedule for me was a conversation with Jin Se-jeong. I was going to discuss my next move, but I was caught by Jin Se-jeong, who was very excited, and after listening to the Japanese speech for a while, I was able to be released.
“Keep your focus.”
The likes and dislikes of me are insurmountable, so Jin Sejeong’s strategy was to make those who supported me more actively support me.
Seriously, I’ve never seen anyone change their tastes. I have no intention of convincing you to like me.
[Is it all over now?]
When I returned to the training room, Yong-yong spoke to me.
“So what do you want to say?”
[There is a monster we hunted this time.]
“uh.”
[It was a great level from what I saw.]
Yong-yong must have faced a two-horned monster before? If you listen to it now, you’ve heard that the heavenly warthog is stronger.
“What level did you see?”
[I’m fine, but would it be dangerous if I was an inexperienced Shinsoo?]
It’s at a level where if you’re vigilant, you’ll be beaten, but I’ve heard that the gods are still stronger.
Also, the level of the gods was higher than I thought.
Thunderbird will be the strongest among them.
I thought it was because I saw that it was all over the place and it was okay.
[Are you going to hunt thunderbirds?]
“I want to, but not right now.”
This battle was an opportunity for me to feel my own shortcomings.
Full recovery was consumed, and it took time to expand my bowl as there were restrictions on increasing the number of gifts.
I wanted to go catch the Thunderbird right away, but my level wasn’t good enough.
It was also necessary to acknowledge the shortcomings.
“I’m going to train a little more.”
This time, I was planning to refine my gift a little more and strengthen my body.
If you work hard, the direction will come.
[I think I can help you with that.]
“What help?”
[Thunderbird doesn’t like me or Hyuna either. Although it is a divine tree, it is a very heterogeneous existence.]
Yongyong said that the Thunderbird caused various damage as the existence of the divine beast became widely known to humans and intervened in the situation.
“So you want to help me? In what way?”
[I heard that there is such a thing as friend rain in your human world. Neither me nor Hyuna want to be hostile to you. So I’ll give you a friend’s fee.]
friend’s? It was the first time I heard it. But when Yong-yong listened to him, it seemed that there was no harm in me.
God is giving it to you, so let’s see.
“What?”
[This is it.]
A space opened in front of Yong-yong. What came out of it was a feather bigger than my two hands put together.
[A feather of a divine beast with wind properties. There is some divine power in it.]
“What can I do with this?”
Even if it was a power, it was a part, and I don’t think it would produce meaningful results with it.
However, Yong-yong’s subsequent words were enough to make his eyes sparkle.
[You can’t do anything on your own, but you can supplement your gift with that!]
“Gift complement?”
[yes. Since it is a wind attribute, it is possible to supplement the movement type or space type gift.]
This was completely unexpected. Reinforcing the gift was an area that I had never thought about before.
Naturally, I have a space-based gift called [Transition]. However, it was a gift that I could not do at will because of the distance restrictions and activation conditions.
“That means… … .”
[Perhaps one annoying constraint will disappear?]
I thought it was an insignificant item, but then I found out that it was an enhancement item that gave it great characteristics.
[What do you think? Isn’t that great?]
“awesome.”
Aside from not liking Yong-yong, who shrieked, it was a huge thing to give as a friend’s expense.
Was the gift something that could be improved?
I grabbed the feather of the divine beast as if possessed. What was offensive just a moment ago now feels auspicious.
Seeing my expression, Yong-yong’s expression softened.
[It is a gift that we are friends. In the human world, this is called friend rain.]
“Friendly.”
Coming back from the past, I never had friends. It was because I thought of a friend as a cumbersome burden.
Why are you making new friends?
[If you don’t be against us and become friends, I’ll pay the friend fee periodically!]
“I wish you all the best, my friend.”
I made friends for the first time.
Isn’t that more like protection fee?
