Chapter 173: Time to Pay the Price

“What a hassle… This guy…”

That’s my impression of him.

And the thing about guys like this is that they lack intelligence. No matter how much you explain things, they can’t understand and can’t objectively see the situation they’re in. It’s quicker to make them understand through violence.

Why is violence necessary, you ask? The biggest issue is that they don’t even try to look at things objectively. The root cause of that is their overinflated pride.

How can I say this so confidently? Because before I regained my memories of my previous life, I was exactly like that.

To be clear, pride that helps you discipline yourself is fine, but pride that exists only to look down on others is worthless garbage that drags you down. Now, I can understand that.

Unfortunately, people with that kind of pride can’t recognize it as a debuff to themselves. When their position starts to waver, they instinctively act to protect that pride.

It’s complete trash, but many people would rather protect that worthless pride than accept death. And naturally, telling such a person to “drop your pride and look around you objectively” falls on deaf ears.

Thus, force is necessary.

Especially when someone who looks down on you gets beaten to a pulp. Even if they try to make excuses or divert their eyes from reality, they’ll still have to confront the fact that “I couldn’t even beat the guy I looked down on.” There will be no more room for excuses or twisted logic, and they’ll be forced to accept the reality that “I’m weaker than the guy I despised.”

Only then will they possibly start to think, “Maybe I’m not as amazing as I thought I was.” That’s when they might begin to throw away their useless pride and try to view themselves objectively.

This is two parts truth, but the other eight parts are simply because “I want to beat him to a pulp, crush his ego, and vent all my frustration.” That’s my little secret.

“You’ve always whispered insults about me, making sure I could hear, just because I didn’t fight back until now, right? It’s time for you to pay the price for that.”

“You trash! Just because you got lucky, don’t get cocky!!”
