The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Chapter 111

Episode 111:

James Reed has collapsed.

“I’m dying! “It hurts!”

“Stop being so harsh.”

Chi-ik!

Choi Jun-ho sprayed healing agent on James Reed’s body.

Even while he was making a remarkable recovery, James Reed was writhing in pain.

It’s really serious.

“Then why are you talking behind my back?”

“It’s unfair! “I didn’t swear!”

“You said you were talking behind my back.”

“….”

“Get ready to go back.”

James Reed, who was watching Choi Jun-ho walk away, staggered to his feet.

In fact, the pain was long gone. The moment Choi Jun-ho sprayed the recovery agent, the pain was completely erased through body control. The reason he was able to endure extreme training and remodel his body was because he was able to make adjustments like this.

But what really shocked me was not my body, but my mind.

“…This is a head breaker.”

It was overwhelming strength. It was a different feeling from what I saw when I overwhelmed three superhumans at the World Supernatural Day event.

The will to annihilate the opponent was conveyed in an intense attack that separated flesh and bone. I felt like my hair was burning with every attack.

As I faced Choi Jun-ho’s attack, I had no choice but to erase the calculations from my mind.

As I trained my body to the limit, I thought I would no longer be dominated by pain, but when I was beaten by Choi Jun-ho’s one-sided attack, all I could do was pray for this moment to end.

Berserker came next to James Reed.

“You finally got a taste of Choi Junho.”

“It’s all because of you.”

“Isn’t Choi Jun-ho’s taste special?”

“….”

James Reed frowned and glared at Berserker.

It’s all this guy’s fault that this situation happened, so what are you talking about now?

“why? “You cleared up the misunderstanding.”

“Are you saying that now?”

“What you say is correct. Hmm, maybe I said it too wrongly. “This is my answer to the suggestion you made earlier.”

“what?”

The answer is that he allowed Choi Jun-ho to beat him up?

Berserker grinned.

“They must have investigated me in the United States. “I have only recently become a superhuman, so I set my skills to a trivial level.”

“…I didn’t ignore it.”

Those words hit the nail on the head. Berserker’s skills far exceeded expectations.

“Was it a lie when I said I could become stronger if I went to America?”

“The training of a superhuman must be done scientifically. “If I train myself under systematic management, I will be even better than I am now…”

“Then how do you explain my strength?”

“….”

“In a short period of time, I have grown to the point where I can compete with you. Because I’m a genius? “If he was a genius to begin with, he wouldn’t have become a superhuman some time ago.”

It feels like puzzle pieces are fitting together in my head.

Berserker became a superhuman about 2 years ago, even if he hid it a year ago.

However, his skills have become so advanced that even he cannot guarantee victory.

This means that this level of growth was possible in up to two years.

If this is a meeting with Choi Jun-ho, it means that he has become this much stronger in just one year.

“Are you saying Choi Jun-ho is that bad….”

“Still, you had a reason to get beaten. But I have no reason. In order to survive, I had no choice but to become strong. You too, stay by his side while you are in Korea. Then you will gain something.”

“Why are you helping me?”

What’s the benefit?

All awakened people seek power.

I couldn’t understand Berserker giving up that opportunity.

“This is going to help?”

Berserker snorted.

“I’m saying this because I feel more at ease when Headbreaker is focused on you. As much as I care about you, I will lose interest. “It means I am given freedom.”

“….”

“Of course, this can be an opportunity for you too. “As painful as it is, you will get stronger faster.”

“If only I could become stronger…”

As James Reed said that, he remembered the fight just before.

Do I have to go through this often?

I almost cursed without realizing it.

“Nothing is free in this world.”

James Reed, who was left alone, ruffled his hair roughly.

I came to Korea because I thought it would be safe. I thought that if I watched from the side and gained something from it, I could achieve great results.

But now that I think about it, it wasn’t like I was running into a tiger’s den, it was like jumping into the tiger’s mouth.

I ended up being chewed over.

“You’re so cool.”

James Reed, who had been shaking his head and found himself caught in a net, sighed.

* * *

Berserker, who was watching James Reed’s agony from afar, curled the corners of his mouth.

The victim who came across the water walked in on his own feet.

This is a sandbag that is very sturdy and will not break easily.

“I can finally take a breather.”

Should I go on vacation abroad?

Berserker felt happy at the fact that he was freed from Choi Jun-ho’s radar, even if only for a moment.

* * *

Looking at the research data, Zolaman was a very smart person.

His brain is at that of an average genius, and as an awakened person, he has risen to the rank of superhuman.

He is a talented person who possesses both research institute theory and field experience.

It was perfect for getting what I wanted.

This kind of talent comes rolling in and we can’t let them go easily.

More than anything.

The fact that he had remade his own body and reached the level of a superhuman meant that he had strayed far from the category of normal.

James Reed is also crazy.

I shared with him some of the things I was working on.

One was an amputation restorative and the other was an improved version of Penta.

“This is crazy!”

James Reed was excited that amputation recovery was possible in limited circumstances and that it could be made into a restorative agent.

And the improved version of Penta.

At first, I reacted negatively to the word drug, but when I heard that extracting the ingredient that only maintains the state of awakening would help unlock the gift, my eyes turned over.

“This is so good!”

“Just complete it. “We will export it to the U.S. cheaply.”

“I promise!”

“Do your research in moderation. Then you become addicted.”

This Hellchang mad scientist was someone who could easily inject drugs into his own body, so I stopped him appropriately.

This is the part where I asked for help with my research.

After hearing the next request, James Reed made a bewildered expression.

“How to torment your body in the smallest increments?”

“That’s how you became stronger.”

“That’s discipline! Fine training! “Nano training!”

“Yes, training.”

The guy’s eyes widened as he looked at me. I wonder why I’m curious about that.

In fact, James Reed’s gift, Body Control, was a very useful gift. By utilizing his physical capabilities to the extreme, he was able to pressure the enemy with bizarre trajectories that were hard to believe were performed by humans.

The reason this power is maximized is probably because this guy is smart.

If it were me, I would never have thought of it. Then just use your good head.

What caught my attention was the way the renovation was completed through extreme work.

“I want you to guide the person I have appointed.”

“who?”

“My little brother.”

“Headbreaker Sister! You know very well! “I heard it’s called a leg breaker?”

Leg Breaker.

It was the nickname of my younger sister, Yunhee.

This nickname was given to him by cutting off the legs of an attacking villain with a series of shots while hunting.

They said I taught them, but they cut me off on the spot without a moment of hesitation.

The scene had such a strong impact that Yoonhee’s nickname became a leg breaker at some point.

I also found out recently.

If this continues, they will be called the Breaker siblings.

No, it may already be called that.

My older brother is the head and my younger brother is the leg.

Still, I’m better.

“But I’m just asking you to help me…”

“I’m not asking you to help me for free.”

“then?”

“I will solve your problem and help you achieve the purpose you came here for.”

After giving it a try, I figured out what kind of problem it was having.

In fact, the person concerned is busy pretending that nothing is happening.

“I have no problem! It’s okay! And there is no purpose!”

You really don’t have any?

I tried releasing the bait.

“Combat delayed.”

“…!”

“Do you really have no intention of solving it? “I know a solution.”

“…how did you know?”

James Reed’s eyes widen as he abandons the ridiculous concept.

“Just answer what I say. “There is no problem with that part.”

“there is. “How on earth did you know?”

I readily admit it.

This guy is also an awakened person after all. I became a mad scientist addicted to fitness due to my desire to become stronger, so I can’t just ignore it.

“First decide whether to accept it or not.”

“I will! So let me know! please!”

It seems like a wall has been blocking James Reed for a long time.

It’s a surprisingly easy problem to solve.

It wasn’t something to bother him with, so I told him right away.

“It’s because you’re taking in too much information into your head.”

“What?”

The phenomenon that James Reed experienced was similar to and different from that of Dahyun Jeong. While Da-Hyun Jeong still lacks the ability to control speed and speed, James Reed reached the point of maturity and accepted it as soon as it was absorbed, so it ended up becoming excessive.

It’s a kind of transition period, but the problem is that we don’t know how long that transition period will last.

Rather, as you age and your brain capacity declines, it can rapidly weaken.

“….”

After hearing my words, his expression changed several times in a short moment.

Am I too thirsty?

It seemed like there was no hope and no dreams, so I threw a bait.

“If we overcome this, we’ll be able to catch the zodiac, right?”

“really?”

“uh.”

“I will! I’ll transform your little brother into a cyborg! “Let me do it!”

“good.”

This has laid the foundation for Yunhee to do her part.

But I don’t think it’s quite enough to be a cyborg.

It seems to me that James Reed’s gift is one that detects subtle movements, but I’ll have to wait and see how it works.

“But what method?”

“When there is too much, there is always a need to reduce it.”

“know.”

“You take in too much information. “It takes time to find the optimal result.”

Fortunately, James Reed has a genius brain, so it takes less time.

“But if you don’t think about it, you won’t get the optimal result.”

“It’s a problem that arises because everything is calculated. “If you accept the information but add your instincts to it, you can solve the problem.”

“Instinct?”

“Survival instinct.”

“….”

James Reed’s expression slowly hardened. Am I finally understanding it?

“Jun Ho! “I’m getting anxious about something.”

“The will to live will lead to optimal results. Take the information you need and discard what you don’t. It can achieve extreme efficiency. From now on, let’s take that instinct to heart.”

“What the heck!”

Anyone who sees me will think that I made this suggestion because I wanted to beat him up.

First, I have to show you a taste.

Then I guess I’ll stick to Korea a little longer.

As long as I’m in Korea, I’ll help out no matter what happens.

This was all an arrangement so that I could do my business comfortably.

* * *

Of course, I touched James Reed in an appropriate way.

If you make it difficult to move around, you will have problems digesting the next schedule.

I left him at the training ground and went home.

Yunhee quickly accepted the offer to receive guidance from James Reed.

I didn’t know much, but Macho Man James Reed is gaining popularity among female awakeners with his outstanding intellectual charm and explosive masculine charm.

In comparison, I am corrupt or something.

This….

I was swamped with sweet dreams without knowing that I had crossed the line.

“I can receive guidance from a superhuman…”

Isn’t your brother a superhuman?

I knew you were saying it was stupid, but they don’t even treat you like a superhuman anymore.

When I see something I like, I feel the urge to impress it.

I have to endure it, right?

You will soon realize the reality anyway.

When we arrived at the training center with Yoonhee, James Reed, who had become sober, was busy working out. Then he saw me and Yunhee and came over with a bright smile.

“Hi nice to meet you. Mr. Yoonhee Choi. “This is James Reed.”

“and! It’s so cool. He speaks Korean very well too. “You really are a macho genius.”

James Reed smiled sheepishly at Yunhee’s muttering.

“I studied Korean hard to learn from superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”

…Now that I think about it, that guy’s way of speaking has completely changed.

Where did the sleepy man go?

Berserker said that his tone of voice had changed, but it was really only for people like me.

Regardless, the two of them were quickly becoming friends, excluding me.

However, after hearing how the training would be conducted, Yunhee’s expression hardened for a moment.

“This isn’t real, is it?”

“I don’t know what you heard, but it’s probably right.”

“Now wait a minute! “I’ve never heard of anything like this!”

“You heard it now.”

“Are you kidding me?”

Yunhee’s eyes were quickly rolling from side to side.

James Reed laughed at that sight.

“haha! You don’t need to be too scared because it’s not actually tempered in nano units. All you have to do is train thoroughly in the smallest units. The human body is so mysterious that it can endure pain that feels like death. If you work hard, Yunhee can have a perfect body like me! “Look at these sharp muscles!”

“I hate poetry! brother! help me!”

When are you happy?

I stretched out my hand towards Yunhee, who was screaming, and clenched my fist.

Fighting, my little brother!

* * *

“It is highly likely that the reason James Reed is staying in Korea is to check on Superhuman.”

Cheon Myeong-guk spoke to me with a worried expression.

I guess he was anxious because I was carrying him around so much.

“I know.”

“Then why…”

“James Reed has more opportunities to utilize than I thought. “It can be said that we are in a mutually satisfactory transaction.”

In fact, I took her to the Shinsung Group for a few days and put it to good use by extracting ideas and showing her how to steer Yunhee in a new direction.

In particular, training muscles in minimal units gave me new inspiration.

I was doing it unconsciously, so it wasn’t like I became particularly stronger or anything.

In addition, he knew a lot, so it felt like a portable encyclopedia because he talked about everything in detail.

What James Reed talked about the most to me was the state of the world. In a world where monsters are getting stronger day by day, he talks about the role of the nation, the role of superhumans, the role of citizens, the direction of technological development, etc. He also talks about the direction he is pursuing, which left a deep impression.

“It is compliant now and has high usability, so there will be no problem. If you have to, you can just clean it up then.”

“Cleaning up…”

“Accidents can happen.”

Even superhumans often lose their lives while hunting harmful level 8 monsters.

If James Reed wants to keep an eye on me, wouldn’t he follow me when I say I’m going hunting?

Just because you’re a superhuman doesn’t mean you can avoid accidents while hunting monsters.

“Ah…”

Cheon Myeong-guk sighed and nodded.

This is enough to make you feel safe.

Of course, I was planning to use the highly useful James Reed as much as possible.

I’m planning to leave Korea for a while to prepare for an upcoming incident, but with Berserker and James Reed, I’ll be a temporary helper.

“Oh, and there’s something I want to ask you.”

“Please speak.”

You shouldn’t look that nervous.

It was just a simple consumer survey.

“What if Director Cheon also has the opportunity to open a gift?”

“A gift? Of course I want to open it up.”

Well, do awakened people who have given up on growth still want gifts?

In that case, the marketability will be sufficient when the improved version of Penta is completed.

However, this only maintains the state of awakening, and like me, you do not know what kind of latent gift you have.

But Cheon Myeong-guk must have smelled something.

“Are you a superhuman?”

“For now, we are researching it.”

“Be sure to tell me when it’s completed. I’d like to be the first.”

“It could be a little dangerous.”

“I still want to do it!”

“All right.”

I have to hold on to my beating heart.

You won’t faint when you find out later.

I said it was definitely dangerous, so you’ll take care of the rest.
