“under!”
Hematoma made an absurd expression on his face. Even so, there is no way I can’t read the disappointment hidden in it.
If his personality was born based on me, he’s just a part of me. Maybe it’s just a form of extracting my bad points.
Thinking about it made me feel even worse, but the important thing is that I know what he wants, and now I’m out of my mind.
“Are you saying that because you don’t know your position now?”
He tried to squeeze me out and press me.
“Do you want me to ask you a favor?”
It was a nonsensical sound.
“It sounds like you are serious. right?”
“I was serious from the beginning. Just looking at it, I can see that my body is itching.”
“Hey, is it my master? I mean, my thoughts are pierced like a ghost.”
Seeing you try to scratch me as much as possible, it’s cute now.
It’s a taunt that a madman would react to.
“It’s a shame to feel bad about that.”
“… … .”
“Do you want me to ask? Then I can generously consider joining you.”
The hematoma’s gaze turned to me. The boy’s eyes were filled with dark red blood.
When I lost my body to him, countless lives were lost in his hands. A villain who should never appear in the world.
What I was most grateful for when I returned to the past was that his existence was not revealed to the world.
Hematoma was the first to give up in the nerve war that ensued implicitly.
“I can’t help it.”
The man with a snort nodded at me and said.
“I want to go out into the world after a long time and have fun. If that opponent is a divine beast, it’s perfect. Can’t you give me a chance to help you?”
“Nope.”
“What?”
“No matter how thirsty you are, you don’t drink sputum.”
I grinned at the guy.
From the beginning, I had no intention of giving the hematoma a chance. How do you know if he’s going to go on strike because of all the fuss?
There is no reason to take risks.
The face that looked at me blankly was the same as mine, but it felt like my stomach was being ripped open.
“And what kind of attitude is that? Try to be a little more humble in the future. Wouldn’t that make you feel like you would listen to the request even a little bit?”
“Wait, you… … .”
“bye.”
I forced the hematoma out of the image world. I can’t get rid of him, but as long as I have the initiative, I can do whatever I want.
“I saw that motherfucker begging, but can’t we just move on like this?”
I immediately called them.
Perhaps they saw me dealing with the hematoma, and only then did the guys appear one after the other, contemplating.
No matter how thirsty you are, it’s difficult to drink stinky water. I told you to bring some good guys, but you bring those stiff-headed guys?
It seemed urgent to change the perception of these graduate students, who are still unconscious.
“Put your head down.”
* * *
I looked around at the gifts that were stuck in the head. Still trembling with contemplation arouses sympathy… A creeper is a horn.
Even if there is no one to call, do you call a hematoma? Knowing that the guy and I are not on good terms, if you act blindly on your performance, that in itself is a punishment.
In my heart, I want to be watched over 168 hours a week and roll to death, but soon there will be a fight with the Thunderbird, so there is no reason to overdo it.
“All I have done to you is to say that you are doing well. Wouldn’t it be better for you too than to stay on a low level? is not it?”
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
The three gifts answered yes. Seeing that I still have the strength to respond while I was cheering, I thought that I should give a more severe punishment, but I decided to put up with it.
There is no reason to make them roll all at once, as there are infinite number of blades to roll in the future.
“So, don’t bring in the weird ones and let’s do our best. It must have been difficult to bring in other newcomers, wasn’t it?”
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
The three answers were as expected. I wonder if there is an ego in other gifts. It was just that the ego wasn’t at a level that would help.
After all, graduate students are treated like non-humans, but from an individual standpoint, they are made up of excellent talents. No matter how urgent the work is, putting an elementary school student in it will only be a hindrance rather than help.
He seemed to understand why they were trying to bring in a darkened graduate student.
Still, I keep saying, it’s not good to drink nauseous water just because you’re thirsty. Quench your thirst and no need to get sick.
Anyway, I decided to end up here looking for gifts.
“I know you’ve been through a lot, so let’s take it easy for the time being.”
Whoa?
“I’m taking a vacation for a while. Instead, work twice as much with the Thunderbird. It will depend on your performance in battle. So how about we do it?”
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
The three gifts responded excitedly, as if they had been gloomy.
First of all, I need to seal it up like this and prepare for a battle with the Thunderbird.
Still, seeing the hematoma fidgeting and asking for a favor makes me feel like the old congestion is going down.

After defeating the hematoma and gaining the necessary discipline, I started preparing to hunt the thunderbird in earnest.
One of them was to browse the material provided by the party, and I had the opportunity to sit down with the Phantom once more and look at the information they had put together.
And as I looked at the well-organized contents, I could see that the party had provided a secret among the secrets that would not be strange even if it was completely hidden.
The material detail is more than I thought.
“Did you try to catch the thunderbird at the party?”
Phantom meekly admitted.
“I was thinking of that. I gave up when I saw that the strength of the divine beast was far beyond common sense.”
“I speak as if I have experienced it firsthand.”
“I have seen it.”
“You didn’t get an estimate, so you left it as it is?”
“That must be true.”
Like the guys who roll their heads, they must have thought about it with all possibilities open.
Inside the document, the expected behavior and powers of the thunderbird were written, and behind the scenes, the battle flow was described when the Awoken attacked.
The story is based on a family, but the content seemed plausible.
[Humans are scary. Are you preparing like this to catch the divine beast?]
Even Yong-yong, who was watching, was amazed by the content. It was different from the flow I expected, but I was able to refer to it.
Knowing the habits and abilities of the Thunderbird will be of great help in battle.
I read the contents about three times, engraved them in my head, looked at the Phantom and asked.
“It’s not like you’re passing it on as you promised. I wonder what your intentions are.”
“I know you have no intention of coming to the party. There is no reason for us to continue our hostile relationship.”
“Is there no reason to maintain a good relationship?”
“That’s right. But if it’s mutually beneficial, being able to hold hands is the beauty of human relationships.”
The rather overbearing appearance of the first meeting had disappeared, showing the appearance of a seasoned negotiator. So it sounds like you’ve given up on getting me into the party, but they’re acknowledging me and pursuing a mutually beneficial direction.
I wonder what to say.
“In the Atlantic Ocean, there is a catastrophe that we do not know whether it is a plus or a new beast. We named it Leviathan.”
Leviathan. It’s a monster name I’ve never heard of. Traffic in the Atlantic Ocean was virtually cut off due to this monster.
[That’s not a divine beast.]
As Yong-yong is official, Leviathan is not a divine beast.
So is it a monster? But when I listen to Phantom’s words, I feel like I’m too strong for a monster.
[I haven’t seen it myself, so I don’t know what it’s like.]
In the end, the only useful thing about Yong-yong is that he is not a divine beast.
“You never showed up, did you?”
“have. However, what has been done in the past is nonsense in common sense, so everyone just doesn’t believe it.”
The Phantom revealed the business to me.
“I want to entrust the hunting quest of Leviathan.”
“Is that it?”
The presence of Leviathan in the Atlantic Ocean divided the party’s power. It was the driving force behind Herbert’s head-on opposition to the party.
The Phantom is about to entrust me with the quest to remove the Leviathan in order to unite the divided powers into one.
If I hunt Leviathan, the party’s power will grow stronger.
The change that will result from this will be quite large.
But that’s not for me to know.
“Thunderbirds would take time.”
“Okay. It’s important to have a hunting doctor.”
“You act like I will accept it.”
“Because I prepared a price for it.”
I don’t know what I’m talking about.
But at Phantom’s next words, I stopped without realizing it.
“He liked oil quite a bit. I will sell it.”
“Oil?”
“Yeah, we sell as much as you want. As long as the value of oil doesn’t go away, you and we will all be tied up in a profit-making relationship.”
Oil is already being purchased in Saudi Arabia as much as it needs. We have secured a safe route for oil refinery carriers from Korea to Saudi Arabia right now.
Even so, the more oil, the better.
I’m suddenly getting a taste bud.
“Tell me more.”
I started looking at the contents of the gift bag that Phantom had prepared.
* * *
After obtaining the information provided by the Phantom, he prepared to leave to go hunting for thunderbirds in earnest.
Because of the removal of quite a few villains, LA security was noticeably improved. The intermittent gunshots were not heard, and the number of people roaming the streets increased noticeably.
And the day I was about to leave LA, it was Zolaman who came to me.
“Jun Ho! I’ll take you to the thunderbird.”
Who’s going to take who?
Aside from that, I could feel a sign of paying attention to the end. For some reason, when he took his gaze away from me, he seemed anxious.
Anyone who sees it will know it’s a mess.
[Isn’t it a bunch of accidents?]
Ignoring Yong-yong, who was proudly talking nonsense, I found a package of things that Zolaman was holding.
“What is that?”
“I prepared to give Junho. A gift given in the sense of being safe in battle!”
Then he gave me a coat. However, it was not unusual to see the gentle force standing on the outside.
This is the energy I know.
“This… … .”
“A coat made of dracula leather.”
What the Zolaman gave was a coat made of the skin of a two-horned monster. In addition to sending it to the United States for research by continuing to express its intention to purchase, there was something I handed over to him for research, and he made a coat from it.
It was an unexpected gift, and I even felt a bit stunned.
“Try it on.”
I put on a coat at Zolaman’s suggestion. It looks like a high-end brand coat, but since it is the leather of a two-horned monster, its strength is far superior to that of other types of armor.
It’s hard to even scratch the coat even if any villain attacks it.
Seeing that they have the technology to process this much, you can see why American products are ranked as the best in the world.
“Suddenly, such a gift is burdensome.”
“Haha, don’t hesitate, take it.”
“Aren’t you using most of what I gave you?”
“right.”
“So what do you want?”
“I don’t want anything!”
You bastard, do you think I’m an idiot?
It looks like there is something you want.
“Don’t gossip.”
“… … .”
“If you don’t tell me, I won’t give it to you.”
“No, I don’t really want it, but… … .”
Zolaman hesitated, then opened his mouth carefully. Hesitating about what I’m going to say anyway.
“Well, if you hunt the Thunderbird. Could you give me some of the by-products?”
Then yes. Even the brain seems to be made of muscles, but he was a doctor at Stanford. If you think there will be pure favor, you’re a fool.
It was a calculated act at first glance, but it wasn’t too bad.
The gift he gave me was so satisfying.
“Think about it.”
“really? Oh oh! Also Junho! I was just believing it!”
Seeing the figure I like makes my stomach feel more twisted.
When I hunt the Thunderbird, the by-product of the two-horned monster turns into the by-product of the divine beast.
Were you aiming for this from the beginning?
Yong-yong fanned the house on fire.
[Isn’t this called financial technology?]
