The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 92

The apparent reason for Franz’s visit to Korea was revenge for his student, but the reality was different.

He doesn’t really care where his disciples get beaten from.

Laura is already a recognized superhuman. If I get hit outside, I have to overcome it with my own skills.

Rather, if you did not die even after being defeated, heaven would have helped you.

After becoming a superman, I started to think that I was good and had a high opinion of myself, so I thought I had gained a good experience.

Franz fixed his eyes on the guy in front of him.

‘Choi Jun-ho.’

A new superhuman who rose like a comet.

I came all the way across the sea to see him. There was deep suspicion in Franz’s eyes towards him.

A creepy nickname called Head Breaker.

If the number is wrong here, the hand goes out without the slightest hesitation.

Even the cruelty of making a mess of an enemy who cannot resist.

Franz saw in him a mentality that was infinitely closer to a villain than a righteous superman.

They covet his power and treat him as a nationally recognized superhuman, but a superhuman with an incorrect mentality only creates the three evils of another league.

Franz got this idea while watching a video of Choi Jun-ho fighting Schwandtner and Laura Traore at the World Supernatural Day event.

Since they are all superhumans belonging to the European Union, Franz is well aware of the skills of the three. Even though the three superhumans, who were never left behind, worked together, they were pushed out by Choi Jun-ho.

‘This guy is too dangerous.’

If you make a mistake, you can become a great evil that will destroy the world.

Franz recalled an old memory of meeting the Three Evils who created the League. Even when they were young, these guys were exceptionally talented.

There was a time when I thought it didn’t matter if I had a twisted mind as long as I protected the world from monsters. But that carelessness gave birth to the monster called League.

Franz still regrets it.

If he had taken action or changed his mind when he felt uncomfortable, if he had taken action out of a strong will, the league might not have emerged. However, the three evils of the league climbed towards a place beyond their reach.

So I wanted to know what Choi Jun-ho was thinking before he went astray.

What if Choi Jun-ho joins a league that has grown in power by taking advantage of the conflict between awakened and non-awakened people?

‘If you have the wrong idea… I will stop it.’

Even if it means sacrificing your life.

If a superhuman like Choi Jun-ho joins the league, the score may not be -1 but -100 or more.

Humanity, already having a hard time dealing with monsters, could have perished.

“Go for it.”

Franz shouted in a determined voice.

30 minutes later.

“oh my! I’m dying! “A young guy attacks people!”

Franz fell down and cried out.

* * *

The results of testing Choi Jun-ho were harsh.

Starting from the left shoulder, the entire arm and wrist were broken, and the right arm was bent in the exact opposite direction and broken.

Even the two bridges that were barely holding on were in danger due to the mines persistently digging into them.

Unlike himself, who was completely broken, Choi Jun-ho was fine. Only the clothes were torn and there were minor injuries.

“How can a young man beat an old man like this!”

But Franz’s voice was trembling as he spoke.

Although it was only a small part, I was able to see Choi Jun-ho’s side. It was absolute madness and murderous intent. Choi Jun-ho had an innocence that could not be mixed up with the league that dedicated itself to the world.

This is the power of someone who became a superhuman less than a year ago?

I have never experienced anything more horrible than this. It was reminiscent of a killing machine programmed to kill people.

As a German superhuman, Franz has faced countless monsters on the front lines and has been dealing with the league’s villains since the league’s inception.

Among them is the Hell Master, and Franz is one of the few superhumans who is safe from dealing with him.

Even the three evils of the league do not use such harsh tactics. Choi Jun-ho was much stronger and more dangerous than he expected.

“So why are you testing?”

Choi Jun-ho comes closer, clicks his tongue, and sprays a recovery agent. Broken bones return to their proper places and powder takes shape.

The pain in my whole body disappears like a lie. I couldn’t help but think that he had expected everything from the beginning, as he was bringing out what he had prepared.

It felt as if the madness and murderous intent I had seen just a moment ago from his calm expression was a lie.

“···Did you notice?”

Franz felt dumbfounded by the completely unexpected words.

“Then you thought I wouldn’t know? “We all know we’re not in the league.”

“You knew I was lying?”

“That’s why he’s alive.”

Or he would have broken his neck.

“······.”

So then what was he acting for?

What was your determination? What about this injury? why?

Franz shouted, throwing away his confusion over Choi Jun-ho’s identity.

“Who knows that and messes me up like this?”

“Young Master was so strong that we couldn’t win without getting injured.”

“Don’t lie, you bastard!”

“You can think of it as a price to test.”

“···Yes, it’s all my fault. “I shouldn’t have thought of testing you, but it’s all my fault.”

Ironically, I was relieved to hear that.

If he was a member of the League, there would be no way he would have been saved.

It was a glimmer of hope gained as my old body became a mess.

“I see you are doing something called reflection.”

“Okay, just spray another recovery agent!”

“This is expensive.”

“Do you think I don’t have that much money?”

“I will charge you.”

“You little bastard! “Back in my day, if a colleague was in debt, I even took out a credit loan and lent it to them!”

“That’s crossing the line.”

You were playing into this bastard’s hands from the beginning.

As I was collapsing, the injured area was throbbing.

Chi-ik!

This recovery medicine worked well, but the pain was really bad.

* * *

I knew from the beginning that old Franz was testing me.

Still, the reason I hung out with him was because I was curious about his skills that had not yet been broken.

Although I withdrew, I wanted to experience the skills that made me a teenage superhuman during my prime.

As for the results, they were quite impressive.

In particular, I had a few things to refer to when it came to skill and the application of mines.

“So you were satisfied with making such a mess of old me?”

“I know you’re fine.”

The reason why the result of the match came out sour was simple. The way to subdue an opponent with experience and know-how is to hit harder and faster.

As a result, it was a mess, but the power of Shinsung Group’s special recovery agent is amazing. Even though I had a bone disease inside, I succeeded in making myself look fine on the outside.

“He seems like a heartless guy.”

Franz, who had been glaring at me, sat down in his seat with a relaxed expression.

“So what do you think?”

“What do you mean?”

“My skills.”

“···Just say you’re going to the league. “I’m going to call everyone I know and raid you.”

Anyone who sees me will think I’m crazy like I was with the hematoma.

And that doesn’t catch me.

Franz didn’t seem to mean what he said either.

“Are you that worried about going to the league?”

“Then you’re not worried? “These days, if something goes wrong, you turn everything around and run away to become a villain.”

“I’m not like that.”

“Are you not even thinking about how many times you’ve upset this guy?”

This is the first time I am wondering what on earth they are talking about.

Franz sees my expression and sighs. Something is making me angry.

So you’re saying I’m a troublemaker?

“Well, since that’s insensitive, the worst probably didn’t happen.”

“I have no intention of going to the league.”

“Do you know who is deaf?”

I didn’t believe it. What a shameless inspiration.

“That’s how dangerous the league’s ideology is. “Aren’t you attracted to what I just said?”

“I wasn’t attracted to you.”

“really?”

“Being swayed by bullshit means you are that stupid.”

It’s sweet what the league says, but that’s it in the end. Because the words spoken by those who attempt revolution are, as always, sweet.

If you can’t come up with something as an alternative, it’s nothing more than empty talk.

Creating a world where awakened people are treated well? So what about the non-awakened?

Just because I am an awakened person does not mean that everyone in my family is an awakened person.

The league completely excludes any mention of this and talks as if it will create a righteous world led by talented people. So, is it okay for people without skills to die? Even if I sympathized with it at first, would I smile and accept it if it were my family that had to be eliminated?

Internal contradictions can be resolved internally. like me.

“···haha. “Yes, I guess I was wrong from the beginning.”

Franz, hearing my thoughts, let out a hollow laugh.

“Do you have any faith now?”

“Couldn’t you have told me in advance?”

“Then are you going to believe me?”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to believe it?”

Franz’s voice became blurred.

“You know the answer yourself.”

“You don’t give up a single word. “Toxic guy.”

Who says this is toxic?

I thought it was amazing in another way to see him maintain his old-fashioned attitude until the end.

“You don’t seem to have any worries about the league.”

“Is there any need to worry about those guys?”

“You know, if the world is destroyed, it will be because of them.”

“The world does not fall easily.”

Even when I became a hematoma and went crazy, I didn’t break down.

It’s just seriously damaged.

Franz shakes his head. What else is there?

“In the early days when the awakened people appeared, there was a prophet with a prophetic gift. Do you know him?”

“I do not know.”

I had never heard of it or had any interest in it.

Was prophecy even possible in the first place? It seems like he’s just talking about it and praising himself for getting one or two things right.

Then I too can make predictions.

From now on, I will not go crazy, I will live peacefully, and I will not have any accidents.

Prophecy is so easy.

Contrary to my negative answer, Franz spoke with a serious expression.

“Unfortunately, the prophet was a person who did not even receive a proper education. However, he was concerned that the world could be destroyed by humans rather than monsters, and left several prophecies in the land where he lived.”

Franz says that the cataclysm predicted by the prophet coincided.

“Unfortunately, not all prophecies have been secured. “When we discovered it, much of the prophet’s prophecy had been lost.”

It is said that the prophet was from a small coastal village in Namibia, untouched by civilization.

It is said that he left a prophecy in the form of a picture on a stone, even though he did not know how to write.

“The prophet’s last prophecy was as follows. ‘Darkness, which thinks of itself as light, will swallow up all the blessings of the world.’ We think of this darkness as a league and this blessing as a gift.”

“······.”

“The league has absolute powerhouses such as Blackhound and Hell Master, but the center is undoubtedly Argos. “He never grows old, has the world in his sights, and makes cunning schemes.”

I agree with you when you say that Argos is cunning.

Who says you were born to be a villain?

This is a rant I have never heard before.

“If you interpret the prophecy, there are two ways to think about swallowing blessings. The first means multiple gifts. “It is already known that Argos is the holder of more than just the Dual Gift.”

“What else?”

“Swallowing a gift means taking the gift. It refers to the awakened people who are included in the league.”

“That seems plausible.”

To me, it looked like a nose ring when worn on the nose, or an earring when worn on the ear.

“In the end, it means that Argos is a villain who can bring destruction to the world.”

“Have you ever seen Argos?”

“there is. But you can’t tell if even that appearance is real.”

Are you that cunning?

“Ultimately, the story is that we have to join forces to eliminate the league.”

“okay.”

Franz nodded.

I didn’t know the league’s power was that strong.

The number of superhumans currently in the league is known to be around 40.

No single force has this many superhumans, but the league is also scattered into point organizations, so it cannot project its power to one place.

If you think there are too many people needlessly gathering, just kill them all.

“You don’t have to accept what I say right now. “Don’t just ignore it.”

“Of course.”

I thought that prophesying the destruction of the world was truly grandiose.

I try not to think about it in a complicated way.

If you see it, kill it anyway, and it will disappear someday.

We talked to the restaurant, got some new clothes, changed, and headed to the hotel where Franz was staying.

“The world can exist because there are many people. “Keep that in mind.”

After saying that, I went inside.

It seems like he’s trying to inform me of the dangers of the league until the end, but I don’t know.

Korea has the most liberal league in the world, so maybe I didn’t feel it.

“by the way.”

The prophecy that Franz had mentioned earlier stuck in my mind.

Swallow all the blessings?

I feel like this is somehow talking about my blood intake.

Probably not.

* * *

For Franz, this visit to Korea was fruitful.

It was satisfying to experience the skills of a monster named Choi Jun-ho and to see that his personality was at odds with the league.

Even if he made it to the league, his personality would have destroyed everyone’s heads.

Except for being overly cruel.

“There is no courtesy, just courtesy.”

The injury was completely healed, but my bones still felt cold.

This meant that the injury suffered in the match with Choi Jun-ho was serious.

Laura expressed concern.

“You’re okay, right?”

“Even if I’m not okay, I have to pretend I’m okay.”

“···So Choi Jun-ho said you have to be careful.”

“A guy like that says he doesn’t want to hang out with Choi Jun-ho?”

“sorry.”

When Franz raised his eyes, Laura immediately apologized. But I sympathized with why it was like that.

He seems like a crazy person who thinks he’s the only one who is normal.

Still, overall, it was a satisfactory visit to Korea.

The food was delicious and I also saw the city run under a strict alert system.

“Did you enjoy the view?”

“I’ve seen everything you need to see.”

“It sounds like you had all the fun while your teacher was getting beaten up.”

“······.”

“Ah, back in my day, a disciple followed his teacher like heaven.”

“Are you saying the same thing over and over again?”

By the time they arrived at the airport, Franz and Laura were surrounded by reporters who had been waiting in advance.

“Prince Franz! “Did you enjoy your visit to Korea?”

“What was your image of Korea?”

“What kind of conversation did you have with President Jeon Han-cheol?”

Reporters who had not been able to get close to Choi Jun-ho until recently were right next to him, but he started asking questions.

Franz smiled and answered the interview wholeheartedly.

“It is a very beautiful, dynamic and talented country. “We have seen a glimpse of the Awakened nation’s ability to become a world leader.”

When the calm Korean language came out, all the reporters were surprised and started asking questions.

A foreign giant praising the Republic of Korea was a code that worked regardless of the time.

What made the atmosphere freeze was when the question shifted from giving advice to Korea and what Korea should pay attention to, and then came a negative question about Choi Jun-ho.

“Recently, social conflict is deepening with the appearance of superhuman Choi Jun-ho, and I want to know your thoughts on this!”

“Choi Jun-ho is being evaluated as being no different from a villain. What do you think?”

“Don’t you think it’s a national disgrace for a superhuman to behave so lightly as if he were an idol?”

“How do you view the social phenomenon of the emergence of hunters who are more cruel than villains…?”

It was all a good topic to talk about.

“······.”

Laura’s expression, who can listen in Korean, hardened, and Franz’s expression, who had been answering softly, also hardened and quietly smoothed his chin. This is a behavior that occurs when one feels uncomfortable.

The reporters who had been asking questions suddenly became mute.

I was overwhelmed by the momentum Franz radiated.

“Were they parasites on peace rather than those who served the country?”

“······!”

The reporters froze, unable to answer, due to the cold gaze.

Although he may have retired from being a teenage superhuman, he was a giant in Europe and considered the strongest.

The reporters, who were just ordinary people, were suppressed and could not say anything.

“It is a peace created through the sacrifice of the awakened. Soaked in that peace, we forget their sacrifice and expose their faults, making them a topic of gossip and causing conflict.”

No one could refute Franz’s words.

All of this was being broadcast live.

“The peace we have enjoyed was not created for free! “Keep that in mind!”

This is why the awakened people get fed up and go to the league.

Some could not handle the momentum and lowered their heads.

A topic that I don’t even have the courage to face even to this extent.

He glanced at the reporters with contemptuous eyes and swore.

“Ficken!”
