"So even the mighty World Leaders can't stop you. You truly are worthy of the title of the Perfect Human."
These words of praise belonged to the youngest leader in the room, the President of Japan;
Yagami Nagumo.
"President...Nagumo", Yanchimaru who had been quiet all along muttered to himself.
This boy became president at the age of 18, partly because he was recommended by the previous ruler of Japan. I've heard that at the age of 12 he had attained many businesses in all walks of life and was effectively running them by 14. He mastered all the martial arts in existences in two years and gained enough popularity to be accepted as the President of Japan. Among all the rulers here, he is the only one with the potential to rival Alex or even surpass him.
But...Dae doesn't go back on his word so how would Nagumo get through him?
"Dae, if you don't mind shall we have a game of chess?"
Alex smirked slightly, almost amused at his request while the rest stared at him in disbelief.
"Outrageous!", an African president protested.
"I don't mind.", Dae responded.
"Nice.", he said as he pulled out a chessboard.
"I'd like an old-fashioned match.", he requested.
"Fine by me."
Yagami arranged the pieces rather steadily, as he placed the rook in its position he spoke, "Dae...how did you come to be perfect?"
"I did what no one else did."
"And may I ask what?", he said whilst arranging the pieces.
"Death."
"What?", Yagami asked as he looked at Dae in surprise.
"I destroyed myself multiple times, viewing myself subjectively, objectively, abjectively and superjectively. From all these perspectives, I kept rebuilding myself until I reached my ideal self; perfection."
"Good.", Yagami said as he looked down at the chessboard with a smile.
"What?", Dae asked seemingly confused.
"Oh. I said "Good" because I wanted to confirm one thing..."
"And that is...?"
"You weren't perfect from the start."
Dae's eyes widened along with Yanchimaru's and many other presidents', but still many were unconvinced.
"Could you emphasize on how what you're doing correlates to the matter at hand?", Germany president spoke with a dubious expression.
"Am saying that this man isn't truly perfect.", Yagami said as he placed the arranged chessboard on the desk, his smile unwavering.
Dae watched him with an unperturbed look on his face.
"You see this man has already taken several measures to make sure that no one sees him as nothing other than the perfect human."
"So, if he took these many measures what is it that he fears the most?", Yagami questioned the World Leaders with an unwavering smile.
"Losing his perfection.", the Chinese president said, connecting the obvious dots.
"It was obvious from the start but you all couldn't see it.", Yagami said as he looked down at the chessboard.
"We all knew this, that by attacking his image he will lose face and be known as nothing more than a fraud.", the Russian president implied.
"Such underhanded tricks will never work against a seemingly ideal being."
"So, what are you implying...?", the queen said seemingly annoyed at Yagami for beating around the bush so much.
"You fight fire with fire.", Yagami said as he turned to Dae.
Everyone looked at him as they began to realize what he was saying.
"So...", a president muttered but Yagami said it immediately.
"You fight a Perfect Human with a Perfect Human.", he said as he grinned at Dae who's face slowly curved into a smirk.
How interesting...
"Outrageous!"
"Shut up! You bratty child!"
"You're a fraud!"
"You're no different from him!"
Yagami endured all these painful words with a smile but then...
"Ahahahaahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
A loud hysterical laughter could be heard across the room, the sound silenced the World Leaders including Yagami.
"Been a while since I have laughed so loud.", Dae stood up with a grin as he walked towards Yagami who stood unfazed. He stopped once he reached him.
They stared each other deep in the eye.
"Can you bury me?", Dae asked with a smile.
Yagami's lips curled into a wide smile as he chuckled, "I wonder."
Dae couldn't hold back a chuckle, "You really are interesting."
"I know."
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Am declaring warfare on you.", Yagami said with a serious expression whilst smiling.
"Ooh...am so scared.", Dae said with a hint of sarcasm.
"I, Yagami Nagumo will use every resource in Japan to fight you, I don't need the help of the World Leaders."
"Hmm...so if I fought you with my every resource as well, would you lose?", Dae said, probing Yagami's confidence.
"Nah I'd Win."
