I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 228
I am not a returner Episode 228
Council of Seven Stars (4)
Noisy.
The banquet hall quickly becomes cluttered.
People looked at Oh Jin and shed bitter scorn.
Of course, among them, there were some who frowned as if they were displeased with the atmosphere of mocking and giggling at someone as a scapegoat.
Most of them just cast mocking glances at Oh Jin, the only person who did not fit into this position.
Namgoonghwi, who was leisurely observing the reactions of those around him, burst into laughter and grabbed the microphone.
“ha ha ha! Just kidding, everyone! “Everyone, please calm down.”
Namgung-hwi looked back at Oh Jin and continued.
“What if you’re not a High Awakened? “I think he is fully qualified to become a member of the Seven Stars.”
He gave it to me openly and proceeded to pack it without any hesitation.
“Haven’t you all heard about the many achievements he has made over the past year?”
He clenched his fists tightly and turned his passionate gaze towards Oh Jin.
“Even though he hasn’t reached 9 stars, he has already proven himself a lot. “Don’t you think so too?”
A banquet hall with a somber atmosphere.
The atmosphere, in which even small applause did not resonate, was implicitly revealing how everyone was internally evaluating Oh Jin.
“Wait. “Isn’t this a bit too rude?”
Manager Han jumped up from his seat and glared at Nam Gung-hwi with a fiercely distorted expression.
In fact, this was somewhat expected from the time Oh Jin was selected as a candidate.
If we compare this situation to a game, a new player with only one year of experience suddenly applies as a candidate in a competition to select the world’s best player.
Of course, this reaction would have been less if it had been reported that Ojin had defeated Deneb’s apostles four times in a row.
Most of the spectators who watched the proxy battle held in the sanctuary were Constellations, so the rumor did not spread to the general awakened people.
“Oh, I’m sorry if you felt that way.”
Namgoonghwi bowed his head politely with an expression of apology.
“I meant to tell you not to look at Oh Jin with colored glasses… but I guess the joke I made earlier went too far.”
“Ha, it was a joke?”
“yes. But in the end, if the recipient of any joke is offended, it would be right to apologize. I’m really sorry.”
“….”
Manager Han, who had nothing to say as he came in from Namgung-hwi’s side, bowed down like that, had no choice but to sigh and sit back down.
“Tsk tsk.”
“Look at you getting upset because you got stabbed for no reason.”
“Are there so few talented people in Korea? There must be a black lion, Lee Woo-hyuk, so why bring an awakened person who is not even a high-ranking awakened person…”
“I guess they want to become famous like the apostles of Deneb because it is the constellation of the North Star.”
The ridicule intensified due to Manager Han’s actions.
A sharp, sharp atmosphere descended on the banquet hall.
Oh Jin is inside the cold banquet hall.
“Wow, this steak is so fucking delicious.”
With a nonchalant expression, as if he didn’t even care, he was cutting the delicious steak on the table with a knife and putting it into his mouth.
The steak, cooked to medium rare, melted in my mouth like butter.
“haha. Fortunately, Oh Jin doesn’t seem to care too much.”
Namgoonghwi smiled brightly and naturally changed the topic.
“This time, our candidates pledge here to go beyond filling the vacancies of Cheon Seon-seong and Tamrang-seong and become heroes who can save more people….” The
rambling speech continued.
As is the custom at the opening ceremony, the longer the speech, the more people began to look bored.
Namgoonghwi, who was watching people’s reactions and trying to find the right timing, glanced back at the cameras filming the opening ceremony and opened his mouth.
“I can see that everyone is bored at this point. Oh, of course, I also hate boring speeches like this.”
He lightly gestured to Wei next to him.
“In that sense, I would like to provide you with something light to enjoy.”
Namgoonghwi put down the microphone and stood in the center of the wide podium.
He took out a fan from his pocket.
“I’m not good at it, but I hope you enjoy watching it.”
Crumbling!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
With those words, a huge stream of water shot from the left and hot flames shot towards Namgung-hwi from the right.
Namgoonghwi spread the fan in his hand and moved his body as if dancing.
A gentle breeze blowing through the banquet hall.
As a warm and gentle wind blew like spring weather, huge streams of water and fire pouring towards Namgunghwi began to move along with the wind.
Water above, flame below.
Water and fire intertwined to form Taegeuk.
“Wow wow.”
A sight so beautiful that gasps naturally flow from people’s mouths.
Water and fire moving with the wind naturally moved through the air as if they were alive.
What is surprising is that although fire and water were clearly mixed, neither the fire went out nor the water vaporized.
Namgung-hwi waved his fan as if drawing a picture in the air and created a human face using water and fire.
The one made with water was the face of Tamrangseong Cheon Sang-gil, and the one made with fire was the face of Cheon Seon-seong Damian Salvator.
“Rest in peace to the two heroes.”
When Namgung-hwi folded his wide-open fan, the faces of Damian and Cheon Sang-gil turned into brightly shining constellations and slowly dispersed.
“Waaah!”
“How on earth could a person do that…?”
“I heard that you reached the 10th star not long ago, and it looks like you have completely mastered the stigmata of Leo!”
The people who filled the banquet hall cheered and applauded the incredible skills that Namgoong Hwi showed.
“haha. “Thank you for enjoying this trivial talent.”
Namgung-hwi put the fan in his arms and bowed in an upright posture as if he were drawing a picture.
After saying hello, Nam Gung-hwi handed the microphone to Wei, who was standing next to him, and came down to the stage.
“Everyone, we have prepared plenty of food and drinks, so please enjoy your day to your heart’s content!”
After Wei’s shout, a small party began in the banquet hall.
Instead of the various delicacies laid out on the table, people exchanged greetings with the person sitting next to them and approached the famous awakened people.
Since two of the twenty-eight people gathered here in the banquet hall are Chilseong, they are probably trying to build rapport in advance.
of course.
“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to even
No one approached Ojin.
“…I’m sorry, Mr. Ojin.”
“yes? What?”
Oh Jin tilted his head as he looked at Manager Han, who was lowering his head.
Manager Han clenched his fist the size of a pot lid with a gaping face.
“If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have brought Oh Jin to the opening ceremony…”
“Well, I’m glad I got to eat something delicious for free.”
“Ha but!”
“If it’s because of that earlier, there’s no need to worry.”
Oh Jin chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.
It was a bit annoying because they were barking so loudly, but it didn’t really bother me.
“Oh, you’re here.”
At that time, Namgoonghwi, who was talking with several famous people, came towards me.
“I was really sorry about earlier.”
He held out his hand to Oh Jin with a kind smile on his face.
“I don’t care, so you can just leave.”
Oh Jin waved his hand in annoyance as he ate a dessert of sliced tomatoes with cheese on top.
Namgoonghwi’s expression, who was awkwardly sticking out his hand, was slightly distorted.
That too for a while.
He spoke again with a bright smile on his face.
“As this is a busy place, I hope you will be patient with the rudeness of people who do not know Mr. Oh Jin’s qualifications.”
He bowed politely and raised the corners of his mouth.
“Isn’t there a saying that three strokes of patience can save a country?”
It was not difficult to understand the intention behind changing ‘people’ to ‘country’.
‘Don’t fool around in front of China, whatever.’
Oh Jin smiled without even realizing it.
It was so blatant that it was almost laughable.
“…Did I say something that made you laugh?”
Namgoonghwi frowned as he looked at Ohjin, who was laughing.
When the atmosphere between the two is getting a little rough.
“What the heck, isn’t there a smoking room in this strangely large tower?”
The banquet hall door opened roughly and Ha-eun came in.
She came wearing a stylish black party dress, probably paying attention to her coordination, and upon spotting Ojin, approached her with sparkling eyes.
“Wow, this bastard didn’t just eat everything in the meantime, right?”
“The steak here was delicious.”
“Mine! “Where’s mine?”
“I ate two and it was twice as delicious.”
“You son of a bitch.”
When Ha-eun was interrogating Oh-jin, telling him to stop talking nonsense and give up his share.
“…ah.”
Namgoong Hwi was staring at Haeun with an expression as if he had been struck by lightning.
The mouth that had been filled with ridicule was wide open in shock, and the two wide-open eyes had no intention of leaving Ha-eun.
“How on earth…”
Namgung-hwi trailed off, swallowing dry saliva.
A body with a beautiful appearance that feels unreasonable and a body with graceful curves like the finest porcelain. Even the black eye patch covering her left eye could not hide her beauty.
I have met many women so far, but this is the first time I have seen one so shockingly beautiful.
“huh? “What is this?”
Ha-eun looked back at Namgoong-hwi, who was staring at her, and tilted her head.
Namgoonghwi cleared his throat slightly and approached Haeun.
“Nice to meet you. “My name is Namgunghwi.”
“Namgoonghwi…? “It seems like a name I’ve heard before somewhere.”
“haha. “It’s a shame, but I am called by the title ‘Wind God.’”
“Ah, I remembered.”
Ha-eun snapped her fingers and nodded.
I had definitely heard that he was a pretty famous awakened person in China.
“If it’s not rude, may I ask your name?”
“It’s Song Ha-eun.”
Haeun.
Namgoonghwi smiled slightly as he recalled her name several times.
Oh Jin’s existence had long since disappeared from his mind.
“It looks like there isn’t any food left on this table for Ms. Ha-eun to eat… “How about you come to my table?”
I had no idea that the offer would be rejected.
With his natural good looks, he was so outstanding that he was selected as a candidate representative.
What about the background?
Born as the eldest son of the Nangong family, the greatest family in China, he ruled China like a king even before he became an awakened person.
Even though Oh Jin was the one and only apostle of Jiknyeo Castle, he could not be compared to himself.
‘It seems like I have a bit of a relationship with that guy.’
Still, if she has ever heard of the title Wind God, she will be familiar with it.
That he is the most powerful awakened person to become the next Chilseong.
There is no reason to refuse the offer━
“I don’t like it?”
“…yes?”
Namgoonghwi continued speaking with an embarrassed expression, as if he had never thought that he would be rejected so easily.
“But there is no meal for Ha-eun to eat here…”
“Why isn’t there any?”
Ha-eun sat on Oh-jin’s thighs and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“If we come here, we can eat it.”
“….”
Nam Gung-hwi’s expression became harshly distorted.
