(Trigger warning for depression and suicide)
The government had treated the privately funded international student as bad as possible, even discriminating them with the students who got the scholarship like mext student funded from the government. Moreover, they got the priority to got into Japan over the privately fund student. This causes mayhem in the community as they felt like they were discriminated as not being smart enough to enter Japan.
Sung who had a friend who got their mext scholarship made a joke.
Sung friends : Huh you are not smart are you? Why should you go to Japan. Japan is the land of smart people. They don't need to have you who is not smart enough to enter Japan.
This not only made Sung annoyed but also made him angry as he felt looked down by his friends. He started dissing and cursing at his friends which causes some friction in their relationships, especially when they were childhood friends.
The government kept extending the ban while making a special exemptions for the very high profile people like DJs, artist, athletes, citizen of Japan, and mext student. Of course nothing was was wrong in letting the mext student in but why did the government not also allowing privately funded student to enter Japan?
Sung : Aren't mext student and me the same? Aren't we both international student? How can the mext student be different from me? We are both a student with the same dna and are the same species. Even I will follow the same rule just to enter Japan then what is the problem? Is the smarter student will follow the rule while me the stupid person will not ever follow the rule?
This is the time where Sung started his paths towards depression. With such a toxic community in twitter and combining it with the unfair system of Japan, he started to had a thinking of killing himself. He even started to attempt suicide while reading the news that the new demon lord would extend the ban till god knows when. But as he started attempting suicide, he saw one tweet saying " We are in this together no matter what happen in the future. When the going gets tough, we need to get rough. ". This gave him the boost he needs to get back on the feet and start to accept his faith of waiting while fighting the stupid system.
The legendary fight between foreigners and the new demon lord will continue on the basis that there would be extra unnecessary steps to enter Japan.
