The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter Three

Its a neat end.

Thats what I thought.

From today on, there was no more bloodthirsty monster.

If it were from before, I would have torn them apart one by one.

But now, I had only smashed their shoulders and arms.

I didnt succumb to madness, and instead kept my composure. The villains wriggling on the ground like bugs were evidence that I was still sane.

The ard police waiting outside ca in and began to arrest the villains one by one, reassuring the frightened citizens.

I pulled out the unlock device and threw it at the ard police, who swiftly arrested them.

Hey! Are you okay?

Yeah, Im fine.

Why did you rush in so recklessly? What if sothing had gone wrong?

Were you worried?

As I asked with a smile, Yoon-hees eyes, which had been wet with tears, brightened.

Then should I not worry about the possibility of you dying?

I just... Im not used to others worrying about .

Im your younger sister. Of course, Ill worry about you!

You seem to nag a lot, though.

If you dont want to hear nagging, then just do better.

I wanted to say that its hard for to understand her actions if she didnt properly express it, but I didnt say anything more as I looked at my younger sister who was worried about .

It felt a bit ticklish.

This scene also felt unfamiliar to .

Standing tall at a place where a cri had occurred.

Most villains were people who had committed cris. There were also those who could not endure discipline and control. Both applied to the in my previous life.

When one beca a wanted villain, it beca impossible to roam around in society with dignity. Your freedom as a citizen was taken away. As soone who was not a villain now, I felt grateful for the freedom I was able to enjoy.

At that mont, a woman with a knife in her hand entered the room amidst the rumbling noise outside.

She had a clean ponytail tied neatly and was wearing a smart black suit, and she was beautiful as well.

Her splendid aura reminded one of an actress, but her calm eyes were like a well-polished sword.

Yoon-hee recognized her and looked surprised.

Oh, Jung Da-hyun!

Not only Yoon-hee but others also began to recognize Jung Da-hyun.

In the midst of the surrounding rumbling noise, the woman approached Choi Jun-ho.

I am Jung Da-hyun, an official from the Villain Task Force of the National Security Agency.

Jung Da-hyun was a talented individual who was considered one of the most promising awakened individuals in Korea, having transferred from the largest guild, the Sacred Guild, to a governnt hunter.

For your reference, the Sacred Guild was the place Yun-hee was aiming for.

Jung Da-hyun reached level 3 after just one year of awakening and her current level, level 6, two years later. Considering that a level 7 awakened individual was a key personnel for the country and level 8 was treated as the worlds best, she showed remarkable progress.

With her beautiful appearance, strong sense of duty, and outstanding skills, she was regarded as the person to safeguard the next generation of Korea.

In fact, ten years later, she beca one of Koreas top hunters.

I recalled the mont I encountered her in my past life.

I have to kill you because youre a villain.

If they hadnt chased after , my talent would have blossod even more.

Her gift was intuition. It was a gift I took through blood absorption.

I am Choi Jun-ho.

Youre the one who subdued the villains here, right?

Yes, thats .

Excuse , but which agency are you with? Avant-garde? Divine?

There was a thick sense of wariness in Jung Da-hyuns voice. I couldnt understand her reaction. I didnt kill anyone. I just immobilized them so they couldnt rebel. Shouldnt I be praised instead? But why was she reacting with caution?

Ah! Could it be because of her intuition?

During battles, Jung Da-hyuns intuition was really annoying. She would just blindly chase after even though I didnt leave any evidence behind, all thanks to her intuition.

Still, theres nothing to feel guilty about. I had returned to the past and cleansed all my sins. I was just a jobless person who had sucked the marrow out of my parents bones for two years in my hotown.

Im a civil service exam candidate.

Jung Da-hyuns eyebrows twitched.

A civil service exam candidate?

Yes, Im preparing to beco a governnt hunter.

Are you preparing for grade 5?

No, Im not.

Then grade 7?

Im preparing for grade 9. I even bought books to study.

......

When I showed various reference books I had purchased at the bookstore today, including Civil Service Hunter A to Z, Complete Mastery of Civil Service Hunter!, Civil Service Hunter, All-in-One!, Jung Da-hyun was left speechless.

Yoon Hee, who couldnt bear the awkward silence, spoke up. Um, Miss Jung Da-hyun. Its true. My older brother has been preparing for employnt for five years, and he ca up from the province yesterday to beco a governnt hunter.

I see. I thought he was a hunter with an affiliation because of his excellent skills. Im sorry, said Jung Da-hyun, though her eyes carried a gleam of exploration. May I ask you a question?

Yes.

Why are you planning to be a governnt hunter?

Most hunter aspirants nowadays aid to beco hunters affiliated with large companies, rather than governnt hunters. Considering financial benefits, treatnt, and prospects, there were few who applied to beco governnt hunters unless they had a strong sense of mission.

Did he have that sense of mission within himself?

I couldnt get a job. Thats why I changed my goal to beco a governnt hunter.

Is that all?

Do I need another reason?

No, I crossed the line there. First of all, thank you for saving innocent citizens from villains.

Its probably just a gesture to disguise the suspicion she had in her heart by using gratitude in the na of ordinary citizens

In my previous life, Jung Da-hyun was a hunter who protected justice and was respected by awakened beings and citizens. She was one of the hunters who chased after the most relentlessly when I went crazy.

Can you give your contact information? Ill propose giving you a comndation from the upper managent. Todays heroic act will help you beco a governnt hunter, Jung Da-hyun said.

Thank you.

If in the past they had a relationship where they had to kill each other, now they were colleagues.

So it would be good to erase even the slightest suspicion.

I gave my number to the other person with confidence.

By the way, just to let you know, Im not a villain. And Im not a suspicious person either.

......

Im telling the truth.

......

Okay. That should dispel any doubts she had.

***

Jung Da-hyun finished wrapping up the bank robbery case that happened today and looked around the scene.

Despite having taken care of all the villains, the recent increase in attacks seed to indicate a growing cunningness among the villains, leading to more victims.

Among them, the innocent civilians suffered the most.

Todays incident could have easily resulted in many deaths.

As soone who beca a governnt hunter to arrest as many villains as possible, she didnt like the rigid system of the special team.

Choi Jun-ho.

Jung Dahyun thought of the man she t today.

The protagonist who ruthlessly defeated all ten villains with his rciless hands.

Even just seeing him briefly was enough to guess what kind of person the other was.

What Choi Jun-ho did to the villains was one-sided violence.

His appearance did not evoke a hunter who should serve the citizens, but rather a villain.

Becoming a monster to catch a monster.

These were countless cases like that that Jung Da-hyun had seen before.

However, the purpose changes depending on how the knife was used. A knife that could stain the world with exhaustion could beco the best knife for hunting villains.

Her gift, intuition, strongly warned her that if she didnt catch Choi Jun-ho here, he would beco an uncontrollable danger.

Choi Jun-hos career history, which she looked up, was nothing special. He had challenged himself for a few years to get into a big company, but ended up returning to his hotown after failing. His only purpose for returning to the city was to beco a governnt hunter.

However, the problem was in the unknown area that was not in the report. Jung Da-hyun, who relied more on intuition than the given information, decided to follow the warning given by it.

I have to manage him myself.

***

After returning ho, Yoon-hee expressed her intention to receive guidance from .

She said that she felt sothing significant from the appearance of suppressing villains today.

But didnt you go a bit too far?

Not at all.

Why?

If I had shown rcy to the villains, they would have caused even greater harm to the citizens.

...

There is no ending that can satisfy everyone.

The mont an immature villain beca a cunning villain, it beca a disaster that citizens could not bear.

When I went crazy, I often had that thought. Maybe if I had died before gaining complete power, this kind of tragedy wouldnt have happened. I wished a stronger hunter had co to kill instead.

Are all villains bad people?

There are also innocent people.

The world was never fair. Thats why there were people who beca villains because of unfair situations.

But those people are in the minority. And they eventually beca no different from other villains.

Its difficult.

Constantly think about what justice ans to you. Rember that saving one innocent villain is not as important as saving 100 innocent citizens that the villain could massacre.

Okay, I understand.

Yoon-hees gloomy expression lingered as she returned to her room, but I decided not to care. It was a pain that everyone had to experience at least once to grow.

Well, I was no different from those villains, really.

Werent I the ultimate villain?

I could still see the faces of the people who died in my hands when I closed my eyes.

I lost control of my body, but I tore out their hearts and drank their blood with my own hands. Thats when I beca stronger, the pinnacle of evil.

Even if it was sothing I did in a crazy state, the past didnt disappear.

I felt disgusted pretending to give advice while holding onto an unintended opportunity, but I wasnt nave enough to let go of the opportunity that ca to .

Live a normal life, just be ordinary.

After trying it today, it seed possible.

The trigger for my abilities in my past life ca from a series of coincidences overlapping. Gifts were only unlocked when certain conditions were t. However, in most cases, people were unable to identify the associated attributes even when the conditions were t.

In my case, I happened to know that my ability was related to blood and went to great lengths to unlock my gift. I even cut myself, drank blood, and applied it to my skin. As a result, I beca addicted to demon blood.

Since I couldnt unlock my gift and my level was low, my options were limited. Eventually, I gave up on getting a job and started working for the demon disposal team.

The demon disposal team secured materials after a hunt. The price of demon leather, at, blood, etc., varied greatly depending on their freshness.

However, sotis the team was ambushed by demons and I experienced a similar situation when I was awakened. During a hunt, demons who detected the sll of blood attacked us, and we were in danger of being wiped out due to their large numbers.

To survive, I ate the heart of the demon I was holding in my hand. I didnt know why, but I acted on instinct and it beca the trigger to awaken my gift.

I was the only one who survived that incident, and both the demons and the hunters perished. The ability beca fully mine, and I beca the worst villain, a blood addict, at that mont.

After purchasing a reference book to beco a governnt hunter, ti passed quickly. I helped Yoon-hee with her force manipulation and then focused on studying the reference book.

In the anti, I received a comndation from the bank for subduing the villains. Jung Da-hyun was also there to congratulate , and she said, Since you stood up for the citizens, you will receive bonus points for the civil service exam.

Thank you for your consideration.

What are you talking about? Im sorry I couldnt do more.

Its really okay.

Okay.

When the award ceremony was over, Jung Da-hyun followed outside.

Excuse , but when will the civil service hunter exam be held?

Its most likely two months from now, or maybe three, if it gets delayed.

Later than expected?

There are so circumstances.

The civil service hunter exam was held once a month with a competition rate of 3:1, but considering the actual number of absences, it drops to 2:1, and even as low as 1.5:1 when there were fewer vacancies.

After a brief silence, Jung Da-hyun asked, What do you think about the Villain Task Force?

I think its an excellent place.

Then, if you pass the exam, how about joining our Villain Task Force?

I havent thought about it.

Oh.

Jung Da-hyun sighed, and I added, Its not that I dont like the Villain Task Force. As far as I know, the National Security Corps is only for elite governnt hunters. I dont know if my score will be enough.

Its good that you dont dislike it. Thats a relief.

Passing the exam is the first priority.

Right, I was too hasty. I apologize.

Its okay.

Jung Da-hyun smiled without any change in expression at my response.

I was impressed by the way Mr. Choi Jun-ho subdued the villain that day.

Is that so?

Yes. But wouldnt it be better to show a little rcy in your attack? Three of the subdued villains were in critical condition.

Ah.

It was only then that I realized my mistake. Not killing them on the spot wasnt enough. I should have incapacitated them and then take into account the possibility of their condition worsening.

No matter how good the recovery dicine was, if they died, they wouldnt be able to say anything.

To interrogate them, it was essential to make sure they were still breathing.

In that regard, Jung Da-hyun was a pro. She was talking about regulating my attacks and taking into account the interrogation even after subduing them. As a forr villain, I thought it was enough just to keep them breathing, and I ended up revealing my lack of expertise.

Next ti, I decided to break their limbs just enough to keep them alive.

That was my mistake.

When I realized and acknowledged my mistake, Jung Da-hyuns expression relaxed.

Oh, its okay. Choi Jun-ho will surely beco a great hunter.

I will work hard.

I didnt rember Jung Da-hyun breaking any limbs of the villains she arrested. Perhaps she used a different thod.

Jung Da-hyun seed to have a slightly more aggressive tendency than I had thought.

The two of us smiled at each other.
