Chapter 103
Episode 103
A private plane arrived at Incheon International Airport. It was a very safe return home, different from what Park Young-hoo, who was fidgeting next to me, had expected.
“After all, the air in Korea is the best.”
Nothing much has changed, but the feeling that is different comes to mind as the saying that it is Shinto Buddhism. I feel uncomfortable in Japan because the language and culture are different.
Still, the soybean paste soup was excellent. They say there are many different types, but my only regret is not being able to taste them all.
The sushi here was also good. Since I’ve been on the run for a long time, I haven’t been able to eat much raw food. I also like to eat raw food.
Park Young-hoo, standing next to me, nods as if he thinks the same thing. Since you’ve been in Japan for a long time, you probably feel more special than me.
“Thank you for your hard work, Superhuman.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“He said get some rest today and see you tomorrow.”
“All right.”
Even if you did a great job in Japan, you must be considerate of me by asking me to see you tomorrow.
It would be naive to think that, and the reason Park Young-hoo, who should have been in Japan, came together was probably to hear a detailed briefing on the situation.
Because what the person concerned says and what a third party says will be different.
Or, you can learn about what has already happened in Japan and do cross-checking.
Since the work I did in Japan was so big, I might have to be careful.
Since it was the hematoma guy who did it, I want to blame him, but that won’t work, right?
In the end, I committed this with blood on my hands. It’s a shame that I can’t get away with it.
Park Young-hoo headed straight to the Blue House and I headed home.
“What is it? “Why are you here so early?”
Yunhee, who was watching TV in harmony with the sofa, was surprised to see me. Why don’t you seem very happy about me coming early?
“Are you hiding something?”
“Because there isn’t one!”
“Then that’s it.”
Although I was suspicious, I didn’t feel any more anxious and went into the room and lay down on the bed.
I will be leaving here in a few days. It’s a place I’ve become quite familiar with since returning to the past, but I feel sad about leaving.
It’s always like this when you leave a place with good memories and go to a new place.
Maybe I feel more affection for it because I never stayed in one place when I was a hematologist.
hematoma. The appearance of this guy continues to confuse my mind.
“What are your intentions?”
As I returned to the past, I thought that he might have come with me. However, it is true that I was at ease because I couldn’t find it even though I looked for it and there was no sign of it appearing.
The one who was thought to be extinct has appeared. It turned out that they were waiting for an opportunity.
Where is this guy?
Two major cases can be considered.
The first is when it is hidden in my mind.
I may not have been able to detect its presence because I believe it is one entity with me.
If it were a part of my spirit, existence would be as natural as breathing.
The second is a case I hadn’t thought about before, but I thought about it after seeing Mandeuk.
Maybe the hematoma is the ego in blood feeding.
Could it be that blood feeding is a legendary gift that has never appeared before, and that the ego of this gift combined with mine could be a hematoma?
Because blood-feeding that steals other people’s gifts can’t be an ordinary gift.
However, I did not understand that Blood Eating had a much clearer sense of self than Mandeuk. Did his power increase when I recklessly took gifts?
I made several assumptions, but no clear answer came out.
Instead, one question was resolved.
“That’s why Mandeuk moved.”
I was mistaken.
He was moving to remove the hematoma hidden in my mind, but I misunderstood and thought it was Mandeuk’s rebellion.
When the drifting puzzle pieces came together one by one, the picture was completed.
It was something that worked for me.
“Do I have to take extenuating circumstances?”
I think I was a bit harsh.
I suddenly feel sorry.
I’ll be nice to you next time I see you.
* * *
The next day, I drove Yunhee to the Sacred Guild.
I was taking him with me on my way to the Blue House, but I did it for no reason. I had to listen to Yunhee’s nagging the entire way.
“Change this junk car.”
“Is it still running well?”
“Do you want to make good money and still drive this crappy car?”
“I don’t really care.”
I feel like I would be nervous if I drove a new car for no reason. I’m the type of person who just drives around, so I thought that if I bought a nice car, I would have to take care of it and there would be a lot of things to worry about, so I was holding out.
And how good is this car?
This is the guy who doesn’t care if I get knocked over and doesn’t care if it gets dirty with dust, so I went back to the past and drove at a low speed even though I accidentally stepped on the accelerator hard when I couldn’t control the power well.
Yunhee exploded at the merits I was listing.
“Ah-oh! Can I buy you one? So you’re not going to know that?”
“If you buy it, you have to drive it.”
“Is it a waste to buy a car when you give me so much pocket money?”
“That too.”
I have to consider it since people around me are nagging me a lot. You can just buy a new one, drive it, and if it breaks, replace it. Still, it’s a waste to throw it away, so I’ll use this car as a second car.
It is not easy to live a normal life when you see yourself hesitating in areas where you should use them and clenching your hands in areas where you do not need to use them.
After dropping off Yoonhee, I headed to the Blue House.
When I arrived at the Awakened Security Office, Cheon Myeong-guk took me to the president’s office as if he had kidnapped me.
The president looked at me, smiled brightly, and stood up.
“It was done very extravagantly. “You did very well.”
“thank you.”
“…Wasn’t it dangerous? “I heard the opposing force is enormous.”
“It wasn’t that dangerous.”
In fact, the massacre was committed not by me but by Haejongjong. Now that I think about it, I think the result would have been similar even if I had tried my best.
Since I had already heard the general information from Park Young-hoo, I chose to admit it.
“The difference is that Constantina Stanilla’s direct combat capabilities are not far behind those of superhumans.”
What I am trying to say is that the abilities of the 12 signs are far superior to what is known to the public.
Not only Constantina, but the others will each have a move hidden away.
The President nodded.
“There was a protest in Japan. “Still, they are their benefactors, but they don’t even give us a chance to repay them.”
“What reward?”
“In short, it’s a modification.”
I didn’t know the president would speak so strongly.
“I guess they tried to hold on somehow. “I want to take them in by creating a good image for them.”
“okay.”
“Superman Choi Jun-ho is famously from the Republic of Korea! “It hasn’t changed one bit about peeling the griddle when necessary!”
At the same time, the president raised his neck and criticized the Japanese cabinet.
I almost got caught and suffered from Japan’s onslaught of affection. They say they’re going to do everything they can to keep me down, but it’s not like I’m going to fall for that anyway.
But looking at the President and Cheon Myeong-guk, it seemed like I was going to get over it.
The only thing I was satisfied with in Japan was miso soup.
hmm? What if you tempted me with various miso soups?
···I thought this could be a bit dangerous.
By the way, this is the president’s position.
“There’s nothing bad about me, right?”
“······!”
The President and Cheon Myung-guk visibly flinched.
Did I say something wrong?
Looking at me with puzzled eyes, the President spoke in an urgent voice.
“Is there anything you are upset about? huh?”
“Superman, if there is anything we are lacking, please tell us right away. “I will reflect it right away…”
The two suddenly spoke while sweating profusely.
I don’t know why it’s doing this.
“No complaints. “I was just saying that if the Japanese cabinet took care of it, there would be no harm to me.”
Because you can take it and take it away.
The two are relieved that the misunderstanding has been resolved.
“By the way, don’t even say that. “You thought we made a mistake.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s how important Choi Jun-ho is to the Republic of Korea.”
“I know what you mean.”
I am still very satisfied now. He communicates well with me and covers whatever I do and takes my side.
However, since it is strictly a contractual relationship, there is no need to reveal such true feelings.
Lee Se-hee’s advice was that the more my value goes up, the more anxious I become.
“I will stick to my contract, so don’t worry.”
“That’s enough.”
“You don’t have anything to say?”
“Anyway, the next contract is a matter for the next president to worry about, right? “I will retire and take a leisurely rest, so it doesn’t matter.”
That too.
* * *
Choi Jun-ho has returned.
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk made eye contact and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
“It didn’t seem like you had any other intentions, right?”
“yes.”
“Thank goodness. “By the way, wasn’t I shaking?”
“You did a good job of maintaining your composure.”
“Right. thank god.”
The President raised his hand. I was shaking violently, as if proving something I had tried so hard to hide.
“I can’t believe it when I see it.”
“Me too.”
“Is that what Director Cheon thinks? “Let’s talk from the perspective of an awakened person.”
“I’ve never even thought about the fact that an awakened person like this could appear.”
News from Japan. And Park Young-hoo’s report was enough to make Cheon Myeong-guk suspect an abnormal phenomenon even though his eyes and ears were intact.
Is this an achievement that humans can achieve?
I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it again and again.
On World Superhuman Day, Choi Jun-ho overwhelmed three superhumans. However, because he never went to a life-threatening battle, he thought he was stronger than other superhumans. I thought he would have risen to the early teens by defeating Franz.
However, the incident called the Fukuoka disaster went far beyond that line.
If you look at his achievements and don’t think he is the best in the world, you can actually see him as abnormal.
“But it’s obvious that they’ll feel uncomfortable if we give them special treatment, so we’ll just treat them as usual.”
“You are correct.”
“This makes one thing clear. You must never go against Choi Jun-ho’s wishes. “If something goes wrong and becomes a villain, the Fukuoka disaster could happen in Korea.”
After saying that, the President placed both hands on Cheon Myeong-guk’s shoulders.
“President?”
“I will only trust our Director Cheon. “Take responsibility for Choi Jun-ho!”
“yes?”
Isn’t it usually the president who is responsible for things like this?
But looking at his face, he didn’t seem to have any intention of taking responsibility.
“The future of the Republic of Korea depends on your resourcefulness.”
“······.”
Suddenly my stomach hurt.
* * *
After finishing the interview at the Blue House, I contacted Dahyun Jeong.
The people I am currently training with are Da-Hyeon Jeong and Se-Hee Lee, and after talking with them, we agreed that we would take turns helping with the training.
If one person can’t afford to receive training, let’s move on.
This time it was Jeong Da-hyun.
-It is possible! I’ll come visit you after work!
Jeong Da-hyun was surprised by my early return to Korea and immediately accepted the training offer.
Usually, she contacted me first, but the reason it was the opposite was because I gained something from my trip to Japan.
It’s laughable that it’s because of a hematoma.
When I contacted Se-hee Lee, she promised to do the next thing, but she also highly judged the possibility of commercializing the ‘unique force’ I had talked about.
I was talking about my habit of leaving traces, and I thought it was amazing to see this being turned into a business.
Not long after arriving at the training site, Jeong Da-hyun arrived. I warmed up and asked for her understanding as she approached me.
“I’m going to try training a little differently today. “There is one thing I want to experiment with.”
“Which one is it?”
“Gift application.”
When Mandeuk briefly lost the initiative to Heungjong due to Mandeuk’s rebellion, he was inspired by the way Heungjong used his gifts.
I plan to use that method while teaching Dahyun Jeong today.
“It will be harder than usual.”
“On the contrary, it was what I hoped for.”
Motivation burned brightly above his determined expression.
Jeong Da-hyun is the one who does not give up in the face of any hardship.
The woman holding the sword did not hide her strength and focused entirely on me.
As I reached level 7, the extent to which I could utilize my intuition clearly grew explosively. As I learned to distinguish between real and fake without being confused between my senses and intuition, the frequency of blocking attacks increased noticeably.
Dahyun Jeong will be able to grow further because she has no fundamental fear of opponent attacks.
I reached out to Dahyun Jeong. Jeong Da-hyun, who saw the mine in my hand, retreated back out of range. It was a distance that I would not have been able to reach normally, but the mine that left my hand rushed at an incredible speed and exploded at Jeong Da-hyun.
“evil!”
Jeong Da-hyun, who collapsed with a scream, was shocked as she writhed in pain.
“How?”
“It’s an adapted version of a mine.”
So far, strictly speaking, the way I use mines has been copying the way Hematology used it in my last life.
The hematoma must have seen me using it and gave me a clue to increase the mine’s range on my basic base.
A mine is a gift that rapidly loses its power when it leaves the caster’s body. Therefore, it had a fatal drawback in that it had no utility other than close combat.
But what if you could send a force to a mine? What if you could maintain the power of mines with that force? Force is also a part of me, and mines are a force that is converted into force, so if the force exists even if it leaves my hands, its power can be prevented from decreasing.
The problem here is separating mines and force. This meant that the two had to be operated separately and loaded into one.
So, as I was casting mines, I was consciously separating them and combining them into one. You would have to go through a lot of practice to use it unconsciously.
From my perspective, if you get the hang of it properly, it seems like you can maintain 70-80% of the power compared to mines activated by hand.
“The power just wasn’t applied properly.”
“I think so.”
Although she was hit by a mine, Jeong Da-hyeon got up from her seat unharmed.
If it had been as powerful as I thought it would have been, my right arm would have been broken.
It means that it is not my power.
“As the distance has increased, my options have increased infinitely. “Then what should I do?”
“We must do our best to avoid it.”
“That’s great. “Then try to avoid it.”
Jeong Da-hyun, with his sword raised, rushed at me. I also stretched out my hand.
While sparring, Dahyun Jeong broke her arm twice and shattered her shoulder once.
This was accomplished in a shorter period of time than usual.
If Bladestorm is good for annihilating multiple enemies, long-distance mines are good for killing just one person.
From now on, when I kill just one person, I can avoid devastation of the surrounding area.
Is this an eco-friendly gift?
Thank you hematoma. Thanks to you, I got a good weapon.
* * *
“It felt distant. “Usually, when I keep my distance, I have time to think at least a little bit.”
After the confrontation ended, Jeong Da-hyun shook her head.
His appearance was more messed up than usual, but his eyes were sparkling.
“But now that there are no distance restrictions, I have to rely on my instincts for everything. I was forced to choose one direction. When my brother mixed herbs and herbs, my thoughts became disturbed and my hands and feet became dizzy, and the same result came out. “It’s difficult to develop a gift like this, but it’s really amazing.”
Meanwhile, Jeong Da-hyun looks on with admiring eyes.
Well, I developed this based on a hint I got from Hematoma.
···but.
Hematoma gave me the starting point, but what can I do? I am the one who completed it.
If you are dissatisfied, come out and try it.
Even so, Mandeuk is doomed to extinction.
No, this is probably my pure wish. The appearance of hematoma has added uncertainty to me.
How do I get rid of this guy?
As I was deep in thought, Jeong Da-hyun asked carefully.
“Are you worried?”
“···how did you know?”
“Because I’ve seen it for a long time. “I wish I could help you, but could you tell me?”
There is no way I can say it.
But you can’t refuse a favor.
“Not just one, but many worries have arisen and my head hurts.”
“okay. Resolving concerns is important.”
“Is there a way?”
“It’s important to focus on something else and distract yourself from distracting thoughts.”
Jeong Da-hyun, who was nodding, said something unexpected.
“How about doing some volunteer work?”
“Volunteer?”
“Yes, that’s what I thought when I heard about donation the other day. It seems like it would be good to improve my brother’s image. I might feel a different kind of fulfillment than I’ve ever felt before… Oh, I’m sorry if I was presumptuous.”
“No, it’s not bad?”
It’s volunteer work.
It doesn’t seem bad if you can clear your head.
I think I can appeal to myself about the differences between the hematoma and myself.
I’m bored going alone, so I guess I’ll take Berserker with me.
I have something to ask of this guy.
“Serve…”
And the word service.
Somehow it seems to suit me well.
