Starting a Criminal Takedown Broadcast

2 - Power? I Don't Care About It.



 

Sigh…

I did it.

I didn’t mean to threaten them, but because of some brave soul who was looking at me lustfully during the meeting, I ended up using intimidation.

After suffering from lustful gazes ever since I fell into this world, my old habit just came out.

‘I thought there wouldn’t be such guys anymore.’

The problem is that I’ve never been to Korea before.

No, that’s not it.

The problem is that beast who couldn’t control his sexual desire in such a serious place.

‘But don’t those people know that I used to be a man?’

When I first went through the return procedure, my personal information was already revealed.

Of course, there were some issues during that process, but it’s not relevant anymore.

“This is irritating.”

Cancel.

Even though 35 years have passed by my standards, I still get irritated just thinking about it.

Anyway, maybe it’s because after living as a woman for 35 years, my concept of being a man has become vague. Or maybe it’s because I was once a man. I don’t know, but I really hate those beastly gazes.

‘Maybe I just don’t like those people.’

Because of the memory of them trying to roast me 5 years ago, it might be even more so.

“From now on, I’ll move separately.”

“… Understood.”

I dismissed the agent who had been following me and headed to the police station, my next destination.

Starting from Seoul, I plan to go around place by place, establishing internal discipline and firing unnecessary personnel.

There are always those kinds of guys.

Guys who don’t have the skills but still hold positions.

Guys who run away when they see criminals, and fail because they can’t keep up even when they chase after them.

When these things pile up, the perception gets worse.

The most important thing for the police in this era, especially for the Awakened handling team, is that perception.

‘The belief that someone will come to save you.’

Since there are mental-type Awakened, the number of casualties varies depending on how much people trust the police.

Well, it’s impossible to overhaul everything, so I should focus on removing those who are severe and cause trouble to those around them.

And if there are any useful people, I’ll bring them into the team.

If I lower the standards a bit, I might find one or two.

It would be better if the people I’ve been cooperating with came, but it takes a month.

“But I’m drawing attention.”

With the increase in Awakened, I thought red eyes wouldn’t attract much attention.

Is it because of my appearance?

-That person. Isn’t that Tia? The one from R.A!

-Come on. That person has never been to Korea.

-But she really looks like her.

… Indeed, it’s the internet age.

To be recognized in a place I’ve never been to.

‘Let’s move to another location first.’

I left the car behind, and I don’t see any taxis.

“Activate.”

I disappeared from people’s sight.

“Next time, I should go around in disguise.”

I arrived at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, avoiding people’s eyes.

Since regular police are not my area of expertise, I’ll skip them and head straight to the Awakened handling department.

The commissioner?

Anyway, he’ll just talk about annoying things. No need to meet.

“What brings you here?”

“I came to see the team leader here.”

As I headed to the department, a police officer nearby approached me.

His competence seems good, and his weapon condition is good too.

This passes to some extent.

“Who are you to look for the team leader?”

“Hasn’t the official document arrived yet? I’m sure I informed you that I would visit today.”

“Are you the one from R.A?”

“Yes, I am.”

Fortunately, the information seems to have been passed on, as the police officer guided me inside.

On the way, looking around at the police officers, I could see some people who don’t meet the standard.

The Awakened handling team requires at least C-rank ability.

Since they not only deal with Awakened but also protect civilians, a higher standard is applied.

However, when looking at capability alone, there are people who belong to D-rank.

“Team leader, this person is from R.A.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Lee Man-seok, the team leader.”

“I’m Tia from R.A. Normally, I would review the materials first, but before that, I’d like to ask you a few questions.”

I looked around once more.

It’s not just the substandard individuals that are the problem.

The team leader is at S-rank level, but the skill level drops dramatically as you go down.

This isn’t a provincial area or a rural town, but Seoul Gangnam Police Station. Having insufficient personnel here is a big problem.

“Is this everyone here?”

“There are a few more teams. They’re currently investigating.”

“I see individuals who don’t meet the standard, what’s going on?”

“Haha. It can’t be helped. We’re short on people.”

The team leader answered with a bitter face.

Most high-ranking Awakened aspire to be hunters, so it’s hard to find people who want to become police officers.

Plus, even if they want to, it’s impossible if their abilities are insufficient.

“Sigh… The problem is serious.”

“In my opinion, before finding problems within the police, we need to regain our fallen prestige.”

Korean hunters are excellent.

There are many globally known figures, and guilds provide a lot of support at the organizational level.

The moment you enter a large guild, you receive better treatment than at a major corporation and are viewed with envy by those around you. There’s no reason to be a police officer receiving a civil servant’s salary.

“I understand. However, fire those who are doing other things over there. This is an order.”

“… I heard you had such authority, but isn’t this too sudden?”

“If they don’t meet the standards and don’t work, they’re unnecessary. I plan to operate in this area for a while, so you won’t be busy.”

“I understand that, but…”

“If not, I’ll speak to them directly.”

If they’re guys who don’t perform despite lacking skills, they must have backing.

This isn’t a dark fantasy; you can’t solve everything with power.

If it were possible, situations like me almost signing a slave contract wouldn’t have happened.

‘But who’s my backing? The R.A Association President, ranked 3rd in the world.’

For reference, I’m ranked 31st.

It seems there are more monsters than strong humans, so it’s hard to raise your ranking by catching villains.

Moreover, unlike monsters whose locations are limited to dungeons, it’s difficult to even specify the location of humans.

“You, as of today, you’re fired from the Awakened handling team. Leave your position.”

“What? Who are you to tell me to leave?”

The official document must have been sent. Did they not see it?

‘Activate.’

When I activate the magical tool, all the information that can be confirmed by sight, such as the opponent’s mana and muscle tissue, comes into my eyes.

Mana amount: D-rank. Physical grade: Upper E-rank.

It’s not a matter of combat experience; it seems they haven’t been trained well either.

“A woman I’ve never seen before, do you know who I am?”

“I don’t need to know about someone like you. And this isn’t a recommendation, it’s a notification.”

I don’t care if you’re the president’s child or a child of a major guild executive.

The mistake is trying to become a police officer despite being weak and taking someone else’s position.

“If you don’t vacate your position by tomorrow, I’ll notify the higher-ups directly.”

“This woman, the more I see you!”

In the end, since this police officer’s hand came at me first, you’re disqualified as a police officer.

Crack-

I twisted the man’s arm and kicked his legs to make him kneel.

The man, who was in pain, seemed unable to regain his senses and tried to use his ability.

“I’ll let it go this time, but if you use your ability, I’ll execute you according to international law.”

“Damn.”

Oh my, he still hasn’t come to his senses.

Using an ability towards a person in a public institution results in imprisonment for more than 2 years.

It can’t be avoided with a fine.

“Kang Hyun-seok, stop. Tia, I’ll speak to him directly.”

“Team leader. This woman is…”

“Kang Hyun-seok! Keep your mouth shut.”

The man’s body stops at the majesty of an S-rank hunter.

You’re lucky.

“I’ll be going now. I have more to do than I thought.”

“I’m sorry.”

I shook off the man’s hand and left the police station.

♦♦♦

“Team leader! Why did you stop me? Wasn’t that woman in the wrong?!”

“You’ve messed with someone you shouldn’t have. Whether you’re a congressman’s son doesn’t matter to that person. On the contrary, your father should kneel and apologize for this incident.”

“Who the hell is that woman?”

“I’ve always told you to check the official documents.”

Even to Lee Man-seok, an S-rank Awakened, her movements were barely visible.

‘Even without using abilities, I would lose,’

The terror of villains.

Human weapon.

Awakened suppressor.

Among ordinary people, more conspicuous Awakened are more popular, but among Awakened, she is considered the most fearsome figure.

Especially, Awakened within the world’s top 100 don’t even think about fighting her.

Three years ago, Death, who was ranked 5th in the world, challenged her to a fight, and in just one day, he lost his life.

The charge was the massacre he had committed to draw her in.

The judgment was made under the determination that if he wasn’t executed, the massacre could recur.

The person who made the judgment was Tia herself.

What drew more attention was that Death, known by the alias “Immortal,” was death itself.

The fact that she killed someone who had never even thought of killing anyone until then became a danger to many Awakened.

After that, she was given the nickname “Awakened Suppressor.”

If you commit a crime, she comes for you.

R.A doesn’t allow her to be caught, and fighting with R.A is even more nonsensical.

‘The country will surely become cleaner.’

There’s no villain she hasn’t been able to catch.

Even if it takes a long time, she always catches hidden organizations.

“I need a method. A groundbreaking method.”

… Of course, the person in question was wracking his brain, trying to figure out what to do.
