Unique Person
"Systemic Hunter and Annihilator for Y-AI Networks," or as we can also call it... SHAYAN,
was the name given by one of the geniuses to the group formed by Gens Sheyan.
Even though Fesly had calmed Gens down, Gens still felt anxious about his dream, as if the dream felt too real for him.
"Huhh... why did I have a dream like that? Am I really that pessimistic?" said Gens with a worried expression.
"It's only natural for you to be worried, Gens! Even though this may just be a small goal for someone… no, a huge goal for a single person… this likely involves many others. That's clear from the AI's command to us. The AI wouldn't give such an order without reason, right? So it's very understandable, Gens!" said Fesly, trying to ease Gens' concerns.
Eventually, Gens' worries subsided after Fesly reassured him several times.
"Alright Fesly, now go back to bed! Our bodies need rest, because tomorrow we will continue our mission or progress!" said Gens, telling Fesly to return. Fesly agreed and left Gens' side.
The morning that shook Gens' heart finally came, and Gens became even more serious, having realized Fesly was right. Just to fulfill someone's goal… must a thousand people be sacrificed? That question kept looping in Gens' mind.
"Come on Gens, let's get started again… hey!" shouted Fesly at Gens, who was staring blankly ahead.
"Ah, yes… let's go, thank you!" responded Gens.
"Haha, what are you thanking me for? You should succeed first! Then thank me later!" said Fesly, trying to lighten the mood.
"Hahaha… you're right, Fes! Let's make our dream come true!" Gens replied, with his spirit slowly returning.
Gens and Fesly resumed their progress. As they observed the community around them, more and more people interested in joining approached Gens. Because there were so many, Gens had to ask them to calm down and postpone their agreement to join. He gave them a special schedule and meeting place. This was because Gens was concerned for their safety. He didn't want anything to happen to them—there could be a spy from one of the Geniuses hiding among them. No! There might even be an undetectable spy. Although Gens' goal was to lure out the Geniuses, he didn't want to risk involving his potential team members in that.
"I really didn't expect this, Fes—so many people were drawn to the mission and vision I just posted on a flyer..." said Gens with a joyful face.
"I told you not to worry too much, Gens! We're not the only ones unhappy with this country's condition… and now you can see it for yourself! Just one flyer and people are already lining up to meet you… eh… wait… how did they even know you're Gens Sheyan? What's going on?" asked Fesly, puzzled.
"Hahaha, I was surprised too… maybe you're thinking the same as me… look, Fes! How fast those Geniuses move… even something small like this, they respond seriously. But if you think about it… I'm just a kid trying to provoke them… yet they're taking this so seriously! My face… even my physical traits are now likely spread across the country…" said Gens calmly, despite stating something dangerous.
"No! I never thought that far, Gens! Haa… are you insane, saying something like that so casually? Gens… have you considered stopping this before things get out of control?" said Fesly, deeply worried.
Gens simply smiled and shook his head, showing that he would continue and not stop the journey he had begun. But just then, two classmates of theirs approached.
"Eh? You guys? What a coincidence! What brings you here?" Fesly asked the two classmates. Both of them replied in unison—they wanted to meet Mr. Gens Sheyan.
"Pfft… why are you acting all formal calling me 'Mr. Gens'? What's up?" Gens asked.
"I… Barga Zaqarias, request to become your member, to support your mission and vision that deeply moved my heart!" said Barga with hopeful enthusiasm.
"I-I'm Syamseong… I just… no—I'm also interested in your mission and vision! I want to help make it come true! I want to witness it firsthand!" declared Syamseong in front of Gens.
Unfortunately, Gens immediately rejected their request. From the beginning, he never intended to involve others in what he saw as his naive dream—especially not close friends.
"I'm sorry, but... I don't want my precious friends to be involved. I don't want to put you in danger—it could even risk your lives," said Gens firmly as he turned his back on them. But Barga objected and confronted Gens directly.
"Hey! You say you don't want to involve your friends? Then why the hell is Fesly involved?" snapped Barga.
"I brought him in for a special reason… unlike you. Don't worry, Barga! Once I'm done with him… I'll send him away. Then, when that day comes… confess your feelings to Fesly… Barga!" Gens answered firmly, ending with a mocking laugh—because he had just revealed Barga's hidden feelings.
Barga blushed in confusion and tried to give another reason for joining, saying he didn't trust Gens to protect Fesly. But that only further confirmed his feelings.
"Haaa… since when, Barga? Sorry but I REJECT you now… do you think I'm stupid? Count how many girls you've treated like toys already?" said Fesly coldly to Barga.
Barga stayed silent, clearly embarrassed.
"Oh right… you! Syamseong! Do you remember what happened the other day? You were standing in front of my house, right? Are you okay?" Gens asked.
"Huh? In front of your house? I've never been there… actually… I don't even know where your house is… hehehe… maybe you saw the wrong person..." Syamseong replied.
Gens kept pressing Syamseong about it, insisting he really saw him there—even that he had greeted him. Gens kept trying to confirm whether Syamseong truly didn't know where he lived. But before they could sort it out, a commotion broke out nearby. People were discussing someone who had infiltrated the Genius' territory and destroyed hundreds of AI robots created by the Geniuses. Gens approached the group and asked what had happened and who did it—only for the culprit to step forward and confess.
"You! Was that really you? What do you want?" Gens asked with a terrifying glare.
"I… did it… because I want to join you, Gens Sheyan!" answered the person, bowing his head.
