The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 91

I arrived at Incheon International Airport to greet old Franz.

Although its role was significantly reduced after the outbreak of demons, it was still the largest airport in Korea and a hub for international routes.

Franz and his group coming from Germany also arrive after passing through several stops.

Seeing as he has come a long way, there is no need to worry about his physical strength. I remember that he came to get me when I had a hematoma and had to rest for a few days because he was low on energy.

Originally, I wanted to come alone, but Cheon Myeong-guk tried hard to dissuade me and brought someone with me.

“Did the manager tell you to keep watch?”

“It’s not like that.”

“it’s okay. “It’s not even for a day or two that you worry too much about me.”

Our Director Cheon thinks particularly of me.

I told the Awakened Security Office employee who followed me to take it easy and quietly waited for Franz.

No matter how mercilessly I try to use my hands, I have no intention of using them when meeting someone from the past.

Of course, the old man may have never met me.

He was someone who made a deep impression on me, so I was excited to see what he would be like before his skills completely declined. Because when I was a hematologist, I was the strongest enemy in relative terms.

Even though Franz’s skills were declining at the time, he made me feel like I was on the verge of death.

As befits his reputation as a Grand Meister, he has been in danger several times through his exquisite use of mines.

Once the mine dug in, it stirred up the inside so hard, and the old man’s martial arts skills were so amazing that I thought I was going crazy.

The realization I gained after the confrontation was significant.

For me, who used to go crazy getting all the good gifts, it made me realize that having a lot of gifts is not a good thing.

“If you think about it, does he have a small share of inspiration?”

I thought I had gone crazy because I had exceeded the gift allowance, but it was right after the match that gave me the opportunity to reduce my gifts.

Anyway, what is the state of inspiration?

I was very upset at the time, but I think it’s even worse now that I still have energy.

“Im here.”

The employee’s words brought me out of my thoughts.

My heart is pounding.

Strangely enough, my heart was beating violently.

I was looking forward to seeing how the guy who in my last life yelled at me when I was crazy would react when he saw me in my right mind.

After a while, Franz, who still seemed to be in his early 50s, and Laura Ann, whom I had seen before, appeared.

I made eye contact with Franz. I feel power. It’s pretty strong. In my last life, it felt like I was burning the last flame, but now my will is strong.

He must be quite strict.

Franz, who saw me, had a conversation with Laura, then shook off Laura’s attempts to dissuade him and walked towards me. And he spoke in harsh but fluent Korean.

“Are you Choi Jun-ho?”

“Nice to meet you, Grand Meister Franz Günther.”

“Still, he was a guy who knew manners. “Is it different from the rumors I heard?”

“I tried to be polite since it was our first meeting.”

“Does that mean you won’t open one in the future?”

“We look and judge.”

“If you are a junior, you should always respect your seniors…”

Franz looks at me with his eyebrows pressed together.

I made eye contact without thinking much.

As expected, if I am corrected, old man power is no joke.

“It’s called a head breaker? “How many people’s heads have you broken?”

“Only those who could break it would break it. Any problem?”

“No, you did well. A mortal does mortal things. “It is more beneficial to the world to kill everyone quickly.”

“It’s surprising. “Everyone is pointing it out.”

“What I’m pointing out is because of the blood on your hands. “You’re still young, so how much do you have to kill for it to naturally seep into your hands?”

It’s like a ghostly inspiration.

“It means not hesitating when using your hand.”

“So you’re going to break my head too?”

I did that in my last life, but I don’t have any intention of doing that now.

I answered with a shrug of my shoulders.

Franz didn’t ask any more questions.

“I heard you have the same gift as me.”

“Would you like to check?”

“That’s right. “Try it.”

“Then I won’t hesitate.”

I immediately reached out to Franz. Laura, who was behind her, let out a surprised voice, but the person involved remained silent.

The mine in my hand traveled through Franz’s shoulder and into his body.

Puzzle! A huge amount of mines were sucked in along with the sparks.

It was a force that would have shattered an ordinary person’s bones into dust, but Franz endured it without changing his expression.

I also didn’t pour it out with the intention of killing Franz. He wasn’t the type of person to die like this. If you had this gift in the first place, you would have immunity.

As proof, the mine soon disappeared without a trace.

“It’s very nasty, just like its owner.”

Franz, who was closing his eyes, snorted and said.

“There is only the will to kill the opponent. Can this kind of madness and survival coexist? It’s good that you didn’t go crazy. “Are you already crazy?”

“Who is crazy?”

“You, you. “Right now, there are rumors in Europe that crazy dogs are running rampant in Korea.”

“Who says that?”

This guy crosses the line.

By the way, I have to ask who made the crazy dog comment.

The moment our eyes met, I saw Laura startled.

I had a reasonable suspicion, but Franz was talking so I couldn’t inquire.

“When I was young, I had dreams and hopes. The noble ideal of eradicating monsters with my own hands and bringing peace to the world. For that, my bones were broken and my muscles were twisted. There was also a guy whose Force flowed backwards. Of course, he died without being able to resolve it. In our time, we had the courage to face monsters with our bare bodies to unlock gifts, but these days, tsk tsk!”

Franz looked at me and clicked his tongue.

“If you make a mistake, you start thinking about killing your opponent. Do you know how long it takes to raise an awakened person? If you say you have some talent, you either scream for a lot of money or run away and become a villain. “I don’t know what the world is going to do.”

“I’m a superhuman from the government who catches villains.”

“It’s a problem because that survival doesn’t just go to the villain. “Why did you burn my student’s wrist?”

“You have to be prepared when you attack.”

“That is correct. “If anyone sees me, they’ll think I’ve done something that will kill me.”

Franz snorts. Laura nodded vigorously.

When his eyes meet mine, he turns his head again.

It just caught on. I think he speaks Korean, so I have to ask him about the crazy dog list.

“So is that the end?”

“It can’t be the end. The smell of living was very strong in the gift. Experience my gift first before listening to my advice. You guys call them mines, right? “I call this the Blitz.”

Franz said that and stretched out his hand. My eyebrows twitched as I reflexively grabbed his hand.

“What are we going to do now?”

“It’s a reflex.”

“Hey, I don’t have faith in things these days.”

The mine in Franz’s hand dug into me. Hmm, it’s a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time. A thrill and a spreading numbness at the same time.

I frowned at the growing pain. It could no longer shock me and just dissipated inside me. I don’t know what the difference is.

I felt a sense of playfulness from Franz as he looked at me.

“What do you mean it’s different?”

“It’s the same gift, so of course it can’t be the same. “I’ve tasted it, so it’s only natural that you should taste it too.”

···This old man.

Should I kill him?

Patience runs out faster than you think.

“How to develop this varies from person to person. “If you have developed a way to kill people efficiently, I have a different method.”

When Franz stretched out his hand, the mine that was supposed to be destroyed maintained its form and reached right in front of me.

“How do you feel? “I can teach you.”

It was as if he was shaking a bone in front of a dog.

I also extended my hand.

“I can do that too.”

“uh?”

Franz looked dumbfounded. ‘Isn’t this it?’ It was an expression like that.

What’s so difficult about projecting from a distance? It’s just that the power isn’t efficient.

Was he just trying to make a splash like this? Franz’s expression crumpled, as if he didn’t like my reaction.

“What a boring guy. Did you really have to win? “You’re so handsome. Your poop is thick.”

Where on earth did you learn such words?

An investigation was urgent, both for James Reed and old Franz.

“So are you going to stay here?”

“I have to go. Because there are quite a lot of things to do. “You take the lead.”

“Of course.”

We got in the car and went to the Blue House.

On the way, I asked Laura about the list of crazy dogs, and she only spoke German, pretending not to understand. It seems possible to listen even if you don’t know what to say.

Talking to Franz brought me back in time.

It was a time when I completely crossed the line with hematoma.

Maybe I have similar sentiments with Jeong Da-hyeon.

Even though he is a respected adult and is guaranteed old age, he came all the way to a foreign country to kill me, a villain. I will never ignore the beliefs that led to people burning their bodies for justice.

“oh! This car is pretty good too. But of course German cars are the best. “Is there any German beer?”

···However, I thought there was a lot of poison.

Wherever you go, people are similar.

* * *

After arriving at the Blue House, the atmosphere at the dinner party was friendly.

The President and Franz talked about a wide range of areas, starting with the international situation and the operation of diplomatic strategy guilds. The two continued to express admiration as they praised each other’s insight.

The President praised Germany, which stands tall as a leading power in Europe, and Franz praised the potential of the Republic of Korea.

Even just listening to the conversation we had right now, thumbnails of Gukppong are pouring in.

“It’s definitely an unusual shape.”

“It’s to prevent the guild from dominating the world.”

German guilds were unusual in that the government and citizens combined held a 51% stake, which served as a means of suppressing the growth of guild power.

As a result, countless talented people were sent abroad, but there were many awakened people who returned after experiencing the negative effects of a country where the government or guild influence was too strong.

The world is at war with monsters. Here, the existence of a villain who is also a human being is coming to the fore.

Since it is not a world where you can do whatever you want as long as you have money, other factors such as the stability of the place where you grew up and the government’s ability to control are considered important factors.

“Money is not everything. “It is important to protect our homes.”

“Those are impressive words.”

During the conversation between Franz and the President, there were many conversations that started with ‘Latte’ or ‘Things these days.’

Then why are you glancing at me?

You’re not asking me to listen. If you think about it, I also belong to the group that clicks my tongue when I look at things these days.

“I will take care of you comfortably while you are in Korea. Is there anything you need?”

“Then can I ask Choi Jun-ho to guide me?”

Then I saw it.

The expressions of the President and Cheon Myeong-guk were rapidly becoming cloudy.

Could it be that you don’t trust me?

“Mr. President.”

“hmm? “But why?”

“Are you sure I’m not trustworthy?”

The President, who made eye contact with me, was shocked, cleared his throat, and asked.

“No way. Choi Jun-ho, can I ask you to be superhuman?”

They say they believe in me, but why do they desperately want me to reject them?

If you walk around with me, you’ll think an accident will happen.

I’ll show you what it’s not.

“I will take responsibility and show you around Seoul.”

“Please do me a favor. Ummmm!”

A sigh flowed from the President’s mouth.

* * *

Franz and I moved together. At some point, Laura also disappeared, and she said she preferred to move alone rather than together.

He didn’t say until the end who was talking about the crazy dog.

Anyone who sees it will think it’s just to show off. I was just asking because I was curious.

Anyway, Franz and I went on a tour of Seoul.

My stay in Korea is only three days.

During that time, I visited various palaces in Seoul and ate various foods. He ate pig’s feet and ate a lot, saying it was the new Schwein Haksen. Why do you look for German beer at pig’s feet restaurants? The owner of the jokbal restaurant who took care of transporting it was also amazing.

The next day, we stopped by the academy and exchanged greetings with Go Myeong-hak. Since we worked around the same time, it seemed like we knew each other well.

Then, when the story of Red Snake Kim Young-hwan came up, I clicked my tongue.

“A guy like that deserves to die.”

Franz was the one who sympathized with me the most when I returned to the past and killed someone.

While at the academy, Franz also gave a special lecture to students who could be considered the future of Korea.

Although he has now retired, the students’ eyes immediately lit up at the appearance of a powerful superhuman in his teens.

When you look at me, the things you think about are very discriminatory.

Of course, the signboard was important.

On our last day touring Seoul, Franz and I ate a set meal at a high-end Korean restaurant and then went out for a walk.

“It’s good. The fact that the city’s shape has been preserved means that the country’s pride is alive and well. “I also had this kind of scenery.”

Franz, who was born in a small town in Hamburg, Germany, is said to have lost his family and neighbors due to a monster attack.

He revealed that he felt helpless as he could not do anything in the face of monster attacks, and that he became motivated to become stronger.

It is said that the mine was obtained by adapting to it after being hit by lightning. Locally, it is also called Zeus.

It’s a nickname that doesn’t really suit me. As far as I know, Zeus has never been able to date a woman.

“I also know about Korea. It is a powerhouse that has joined the ranks of advanced countries thanks to its talent. At a time when the importance of a large territory and abundant resources has decreased due to the emergence of monsters, it is not surprising that Korea, which is rich in talent, shows its presence. “What do you think?”

“I have no idea.”

“Kids these days can’t think deeply.”

I answered because you asked, but it was a bit clumsy. Franz turned his head again and said.

“It’s a world I’ve protected, but I’ve been thinking a lot these days. Desire is growing stronger and the cause of protecting the world is withering. Start with a calculator in your head. The world is full of politicians and entrepreneurs who are just trying to figure out how to use the great power of superhumans, including me. “I didn’t protect the world my whole life for this reason.”

“Do you regret it?”

“I don’t regret it. Because I knew that the world would change as much as I sacrificed. But I underestimated people’s desires too much. “He took what I sacrificed and asked me to sacrifice more.”

“······.”

It feels very different from the conversation I had with the president.

Was this what Franz originally thought?

“In the end, the only ones who understand our difficulties are those who are awakened. People who don’t know that point fingers at us and try to bind us with laws, saying we are dangerous. Even if you risk your life hunting, they say you can make a lot of money, so they tax you. “The only thing that came back to those of us who made sacrifices was harsh treatment.”

“······.”

“Don’t you think it’s unfair? Don’t you think this world is rotten? “With your strength, you could overthrow this country.”

“What are you doing by turning it over? “It’s just annoying.”

Franz’s eyes narrowed at me.

It seems like you’re quite stressed.

Wasn’t the reason you came to Korea in the first place to see me break my student’s wrist?

But they didn’t do anything about me until the last day. That wasn’t the purpose. So it had something to do with watching me for three days straight.

If you combine what I just said, is this what it looks like?

“So, old man, you agree with the league’s ideology?”

“then?”

“Old age has come early.”

If the machine doesn’t work, you can hit it a few times and it will go back to normal.

Even if I’m senile, a few whacks on the head will make me feel normal.
