Episode 135:


    Bringing Berserker to Seoul is not difficult.


    Because I have already been there a few times.


    But if you think about it another way, it is also nonsense.


    Berserker was officially wanted. As usual, a chase team should be sent as soon as his identity is revealed.


    A viin can freely enter and exit the city. The world has be so much better.


    It was a privilege I had never enjoyed while I was a hematologist.


    I’m jealous.


    Maybe Berserker is disguised as a viin, but strictly speaking, he is not a viin.


    Like a viin belonging to a state who receives a request from the state.


    “It seems pretty usible, huh?”


    It was a concept I had never thought about before, but it didn’t seem bad. If you can freely enter the city and the hunters don’t chase you, might it be better to be a viin?


    Enjoying rights without responsibility is that sweet.


    “I’m not sure if this is okay.”


    Berserker, who entered the city with me, also looked dazed.


    He must have said everything he could because he said that after meeting me, he went to the city more often than when he was chased around as a viin.


    Berserker needs to know that the world has be much better. In my time, even going into the ck market was a siege.


    It was Cheon Myeong-guk who spearheaded this effort. Thinking about this, I don’t think I’m sorry for missing a month of vacation.


    The Berserker who was following me opened his mouth.


    “So where are we going?”


    “My office.”


    “Did you have an office?”


    “To be exact, it is the team office that supports me. “I’m taking you there.”


    “….”


    Berserker nodded with a calm expression. It’s a bit easier because you don’t have to ask any questions.


    Is it because I hit it regrly?


    Seeing as how the little guy just did what I told him to do, it seems like he was right.


    It’s a bit unfortunate that it can’t apply to everyone.


    Meanwhile, Jin Se-jeong greeted Berserker who came inside.


    “hello! Berserker! “My name is Jin Se-jeong!”


    “This is Gwangjin Lee.”


    After briefly saying hello, we had a cup of coffee.


    I got straight to the point.


    “We need Team Leader Jin’s power to help Berserker shed his viin image.”


    “Of course we have to help. “Isn’t this what Berserker wants too?”


    “hmm. Yes.”


    “Then, the most disturbing thing would be rted to the hunters who have suffered damage and Red Snake Kim Young-hwan.”


    “Thetter is more problematic.”


    It doesn’t matter since they were the ones who would kill the former anyway, but in the case of Kim Young-hwan, he was a superhuman.


    Of course, there are many excuses toe up with. But sometimes that doesn’t matter.


    “I see. The positive image that a superhuman brings is powerful. “Hmm, how do I do it?”


    Jin Se-jeong looked worried. Even if Kim Young-hwan is a corrupt superman, that is not a very important fact to the public.


    On the contrary, there were many people who thought that it was okay for superhumans to eat a little while protecting the city from monsters.


    Although it may hinder Kim Young-hwan’s image, it can also be applied in the opposite direction.


    When Berserker bes a superhuman who works for the country, it can make him dismiss the crimes he hasmitted as nothing special.


    “For now, I guess we have no choice but to take a standard approach.”


    What is the standard approach?


    Jin Se-jeong looked at Berserker’s face and smiled.


    “The good thing is that Berserker is also handsome. “There is a demand for intelligent professor-type looks.”


    Does it matter?


    “Yes, first of all, it is important to create a support base for Berserker. “The easiest way is to use visuals to attract people who like you into your fan base.”


    …It was something like that.


    Honestly, I don’t really know what you’re talking about. Still, I have to pretend I know.


    Even though I had experienced it once, the Berserker I encountered for the first time had a confused look on my face.


    I agree with that sentiment. I suffered like that too.


    Still, the effect is certain.


    Jin Se-jeong will do a great job of washing Berserker’s image.


    It’s definitely not because I’m the only one who tasted it.


    Good things should be shared.


    “However, unlike Superhuman Choi Jun-ho, Berserker is bound to cause noise. Would it be okay?”


    “I can’t help it.”


    It is more profitable to bring Berserker inside than to let him roam outside like this.


    Oh, of course Berserker’s opinion doesn’t matter.


    “I’ll try.”


    * * *


    Berserker looked at Jin Se-jeong in front of him.


    Choi Jun-ho was said to be a man of considerable ability, but he was an office worker who looked much younger than his age.


    Of course, ability is not judged by appearance. Rather, I thought that he showed excellence enough to ovee prejudice. As a result, I felt burdened by the eyes that were closely examining myself.


    “First of all, it was difficult to ask in detail because Choi Jun-ho was there.”


    “Okay. “Because I made up my mind when I came here.”


    “Yes, then I won’t hesitate…”


    Jin Se-jeong nodded and began carefully.


    “First of all, Berserker is married and has a daughter.”


    “hmm.”


    Berserker, who hesitated, nodded. Jin Se-jeong has done a proper investigation.


    “Do you know the story behind it?”


    “Yes, I was researching and it turned out to be a famous story. “I’m sorry if you were offended.”


    “Okay.”


    Berserker, recalling old memories, smiled bitterly.


    I thought I had forgotten it, but I found myself unable to do so.


    ‘It must be regret.’


    The pain of the past has be a memory and has healed.


    However, scars that were notpletely erased were sometimes apanied by pain.


    Berserker said, putting aside his thoughts.


    “It’s what Choi Jun-ho wanted, but I also don’t feel the need to go to the outskirts anymore. “If I cane back, I can do anything.”


    “yes.”


    “I heard from Choi Jun-ho that he is a talented person. “If you tell me what to do, I cooperate actively.”


    “First of all, today is the first day. “As time goes by, I think it would be good to find a style that perfectly suits Berserker.”


    “Of course. “Anyway, isn’t that guy more urgent than me right now?”


    You can do it whenever you have time, but Choi Jun-ho was hot with the level 9 story.


    “If you don’t stop from the side, an ident will ur.”


    Normally, a superhuman would ept level 9 as gratitude, but Choi Jun-ho would be different.


    Jin Se-jeong did not deny it.


    “I think it’s okay.”


    “hmm?”


    “The first image is important even for superhumans. In that respect, Berserker also has a significant advantage. Even if you act somewhat radically, the public can understand it and move on. The same goes for Choi Jun-ho, Choin.”


    Berserker agreed that no matter what choice was made, the public would understand and ept it.


    Choi Jun-ho was a type of person I had never seen before.


    Even though he was more vicious than a viin, he was still treated as a superhuman.


    “You can look forward to it. “No matter what Superin Choi Jun-ho says, the public will ept it generously.”


    “hmm.”


    Berserker nodded at Jin Se-jeong’s confident words.


    I couldn’t understand why someone like this was called a born maliciousmenter.


    “Choi Jun-ho got a good partner.”


    “thank you. “I will do my best to be a good partner to Berserker.”


    “I’m looking forward to it.”


    Is it because I had a very deep conversation with Jin Se-jeong?


    I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea toe back.


    Of course, this is only when society epts you.


    As I have been in society for a long time, I know very well that not everything goes smoothly.


    Jin Se-jeong showed confidence, but the process will not be easy.


    Moreover, it will be noisy due to the level 9 problem.


    “I really enjoyed camping, so being noisy wouldn’t be a bad thing. and.”


    You will also be able to enjoy the joy of disposing of your camping car.


    When I came outside with a relieved heart, Choi Jun-ho was waiting for me.


    It made me anxious as to why I was waiting if I should go first.


    “Are you here?”


    “….”


    And the approaching figure aggravated my anxiety.


    “Why are you doing this?”


    “Now that I’m here, I have to fight.”


    “what?”


    Berserker, caught off guard, made a bewildered expression.


    Rather, Choi Jun-ho was puzzled.


    “Then you were just going to go? “I guess opportunities like this don’te around often.”


    For that reason, I feel like I get beaten up often.


    Of course, I know very well thatpeting with Choi Jun-ho is a way to quickly improve my skills.


    But it is also true that it is not pleasant.


    The guy… was enjoying beating himself up.


    “let’s go.”


    Is the choice to quit being a viin really the right one?


    I think this will continue to happen over and over again.


    Berserker was in serious trouble.


    * * *


    [Level 9 will present a new goal and ideal for superhumans. We must endlessly strive toward a better state. Take the challenge! And prove it! Level 9 will be the new goal that humanity must reach!]


    On TV, ‘The Lion’ Maxim Geddes, who was advocating for the creation of Level 9, was giving a speech.


    An American superhuman and a member of the Ten Superhumans, he was one of the world’s strongest superhumans and was called the Lion King in Korea due to his explosive energy and prolific activity.


    They said his richly grown blonde hair looked like a lion’s mane, and he looked like a real lion.


    I heard that it resembles an animal when it fights, so I was curious what it would look like.


    When I see the abundant hair, it reminds me of Jung Joo-ho.


    Would you be jealous if you saw that hair style?


    [I will be a wall for everyone to challenge!]


    First of all, I thought I knew how absurd the level 9 im he was making was.


    They said it was level 9, but in reality, they were readjusting their own privileges.


    How does the content change just by changing the sign?


    “Is there anyone who falls for those words?”


    “I guess there is?”


    Next to me, Yunhee was sitting sprawled out on the sofa. The guy who came back after a long-awaited vacation was dressedfortably and became one with the sofa.


    “why?”


    “As level 8 has increased, its scarcity has be weaker. Until then, being a level 8 superhuman was an image that transcended a true human.”


    Yunhee said that in the beginning, the number of level 8 superhumans was around twenty.


    Then, as humanity established a systematic method of nurturing awakened people and efficient hunting methods, the number of superhumans began to increase.


    As the number of superhumans reached about 200, the value of the name superhuman decreased rtively.


    This is in terms of image, not actual inaction.


    Yoonhee finished her exnation by saying that the establishment of this new level 9 is a way to raise the existing superhuman image.


    Anyway, you’re finding amazing ways to package yourself.


    “Are you talking about your brother?”


    “me?”


    I looked at the TV and saw Maxim Guedes mentioning me.


    [We will also invite Choi Jun-ho, the superman of Korea, to this honored event.]


    You are selling my name arbitrarily.


    I thought it would be easy to deal with because it didn’t deviate from my expectations.


    “brother.”


    Yunhee’s eyes were shining brightly as she looked at me.


    “Are you going to be level 9 too?”


    “I don’t know.”


    “why? “Don’t you have any thoughts?”


    “What about you?”


    Come to think of it, I haven’t listened to my brother’s thoughts.


    “I have no idea? “If you want to do it, you do it. If you don’t want to do it, you don’t do it.”


    “Is that the end?”


    “huh.”


    “….”


    I was at a loss for words at the sight of this bright guy.


    Actually, if this guy had been thinking seriously, I would have been suspicious.


    I guess this is normal.


    I put a wedge in here.


    “Anyway, you’re not the kind of person who will listen to what I say. “Just do whatever you want.”


    Is this guy a genius?


    Actually, I was nning on doing as I had decided, no matter what Yoonhee said.


    Anyway, the Republic of Korea started to heat up with Maxim Geddes’ remarks.


    * * *


    In fact, upon hearing that Choi Jun-ho, including a teenage superhuman, was granted the qualifications of a level 9 superhuman, the Inte newsment section was so heated that it felt like it was going to explode.


    It was the remark of none other than the Lion King, a teenage superhuman.


    Franz had visited, but since he was a former superman, the words of Maxim Guedes, who is currently in his prime, caused a stronger reaction.


    -Is Choi Jun-ho’s nomination real?


    -Level 9. I thought it woulde out at any moment, but it’s amazing.


    -I always hated seeing them say they were in their early teens and promote each other, but now that people from our country are included, it feels different.


    -It’s the Lion King! It’s the Lion King! It’s the Lion King! Ugh!


    – Take this opportunity to be friends with the Lion King! He’s a real battle fanatic, so it seems like he’s itching to get together with Choi Jun-ho.


    -And get true education from Choi Jun-ho?


    – Originally, superhumans grow while fighting.


    -But why do you think the Lion King loses? There is no way to know what the oue will be when the two face off.


    -There are still newbies who don’t know Choi Jun-ho lol Choi Jun-ho is already the unofficial world’s strongest superman. If you don’t want to see a lion turn into a panda, keep your mouth shut.


    -Honestly, I can’t imagine the Lion King losing.


    -Can you imagine Choi Jun-ho?


    – That’s right haha


    – Meanwhile, Japan and China are busy trying to belittle them haha


    – Oh, this is Gukbbong? Gukbbong is recharged without a break.


    -But is there any real benefit to being level 9?


    -Of course there is.


    -What is it?


    -Our pride?


    -Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Yes, pride. Amazing, amazing!


    -What will happen to Korea if Choi Jun-ho goes to save the world?


    -?? This is not the time to apud that thing.


    -It is a question to think about whether this is actually beneficial.


    -Will Choi Jun-ho receive that? For some reason, I think he’ll reject it.


    -So, you shouldn’t think of Choi Jun-ho in the category of a mature person.


    When so many opinions are being actively exchanged.


    One piece of news struck them.


    -uh? The World Association of Psychics visits Junho Choi.


    -The Lion King made a fuss yesterday, but he has already entered the country?


    -I guess they were preparing in advance.


    -It’s live. Hurry up


    – Is this a true story? Going to see it right now.


    Netizens who were leavingments began to flock to the broadcast.


    * * *


    The fact that they entered the country with such a fuss seemed like an attempt to put a burden on me.


    Judging by the way you keep making a fuss, I can’t find anything I like about you.


    If you really want to ask about my intention, there is also a way to confirm it by sending it in writing.


    This showmanship itself must be an attempt to put pressure on my decision.


    Is it worth giving it such a grand meaning?


    I do not know.


    The truth is a simplew, so if it is not clearly understood, it means that there is another scheming.


    The person who came to me to offer me a level 9 position was Andrew Hwang, the East Asia Ambassador of the World Association of Psychics.


    “It is an honor to meet Mr. Choi Jun-ho.”


    “Nice to meet you.”


    The reason he came with a camera is suspicious.


    Andrew Huang makes eye contact with me and smiles. It’s a face that gives off a grumpy look.


    “I came today to give advice to Choi Jun-ho.”


    “What is it?”


    When I asked the question directly, Andrew Hwang paused and then smiled again.


    “The world today is full of multiple threats. “Starting with viins who distrust the government and seek to overthrow it, monsters that can destroy our precious home at any time are waiting for an opportunity.”


    Even so.


    “In times like these, the role of superhumans at the top is more important. “The more their noble sacrifices, the more people can find peace.”


    Looking at it this way, it felt like I was seeing a politician, not an awakened person.


    What do you mean?


    It meant that I wanted to hit him.


    “Choi Jun-ho, superhuman.”


    He looks at me with a shiny face.


    I’ve seen that face before.


    It’s simr to Wang Ju-yeol, who was so confident that he hunted me down when I was a hematologist and took away my strength.


    The result? My head exploded.


    My hands get itchy just looking at him rolling his head over and over again.


    “Would you please take on the position of level 9 for the sake of peace and the greater good of all people in the world?”


    The cameraman pointed the camera as if he wouldn’t miss anything about me.


    What are the countless people looking out there thinking?


    Do you have expectations?


    Nothing changes anyway.


    Anyway, you openly talk about peace and greater good.


    The meaning of that noble sacrifice or great cause will change with their own interpretation.


    There is no reason to go along with that beat.


    “I don’t like it.”
