I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 229

I am not a returner Episode 229:

Council of Seven Stars (5)

“Haha… You two were lovers. “This was rude.”

Namgoonghwi scratched his neck nervously with an awkward smile on his face.

The nape of my neck, scratched by my fingernails, turned red.

Namgung-hwi, who was glaring at Oh Jin with burning eyes, opened his mouth as if squeezing.

“Then I hope you both enjoy the party comfortably.”

Namgoonghwi quickly turned around and walked away as if running away.

As he returned to his seat, he glanced back at Ha-eun, who was sitting on Oh-jin’s thighs.

Wow.

The sound of Namgung-hwi grinding his teeth fiercely could be heard from far away.

Oh Jin burst into laughter and wrapped his hands around Ha Eun’s waist, who was sitting on his thighs.

“I see you have a crush on your sister?”

“Hehe. “Isn’t this sister so beautiful?”

He spoke proudly, shaking his ponytail hair.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s so bad.”

Ha-eun burst into laughter and added strength to the arms that hugged Oh-jin’s neck.

Since it was a party dress with quite a bit of exposure, the soft texture was vividly felt all over the body.

“Isn’t the dress pretty?”

“…I’m too exposed.”

“Isn’t that why it’s better?”

“It’s good to see just me.”

Ohjin took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Ha-eun covered herself with Oh-jin’s coat and laughed.

He placed his lips close to my ear and whispered in a low voice.

“okay. “I’ll only show it to Ojini.”

“….”

I know very well that this is a line that will make you cringe to the point where your hands and feet are crushed, but why does the corner of your mouth go up like this?

Ha-eun giggled and stroked Oh-jin’s head, then frowned and looked at the empty table.

“Anyway, did you really eat it all?”

“Of course I stocked up.”

Ojin held out the food that had been hidden by illusions to her.

The temperature was maintained through faint electromagnetic waves, so it was still warm.

“When did you learn this talent again?”

Ha-eun let out an exclamation of surprise, got off her thighs and sat down next to her.

“Jalajju.”

“No, please eat this much on your own.”

“Uh huh. “Aren’t you going to listen to me?”

Ha-eun opened her mouth like a baby bird waiting for food.

Oh Jin smiled and cut the steak and put it in her mouth.

“lol. “It’s delicious.”

“Eat slowly.”

Ha-eun hugged Oh-jin’s arm and rubbed her cheek on his shoulder like a cat showing affection.

“….”

Manager Han, who was observing the cringe-inducing act of love right next to him, couldn’t open his eyes and see it. He sighed deeply and swallowed the tears that were flowing down his face.

“I’m sad, I’m sad… Yes, it’s a sin, a sin, that I haven’t had a relationship at this age.”

It was a particularly lonely night.

* * *

next day.

After finishing breakfast, Oh Jin met with Manager Han and asked about today’s schedule.

“You mean I just have to go to the conference room on the 50th floor by 12:30?”

“yes. “That’s how it was delivered.”

Manager Han said while handing over the schedule handed over from the council.

Because the content was written in Chinese, I couldn’t tell what was written.

“Director, did you learn Chinese separately?”

“yes. If you use a holy relic, you can interpret, but you cannot read or write. In addition to Chinese, I also speak English, Japanese, and a little Russian.”

“Oh oh.”

Oh Jin looked at Manager Han with an expression of surprise.

With bulging muscles that look like they’re about to burst out of his shirt and a face that resembles a gorilla’s healthy, tanned skin.

He was far from intelligent and looked like he was on a different level, but he was capable of speaking more than five languages.

“…Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

“Hmm, even if I look like this, I’m still an elite. Elite!”

“haha. I know.”

Not only did he take up the position of manager in his mid-30s, but he also received the full trust of the association’s president, Tae-ho Han.

In fact, it turns out that even among the elites, the one who was not an ordinary elite was Manager Han.

“Oh, and I got 7 stars this time.”

A manager said proudly, pounding his left chest.

“Oh, congratulations, Manager.”

“…I feel a bit strange hearing congratulations from Oh Jin.”

Manager Han sighed and recalled the first time he met Oh Jin.

“Mr. Oh Jin, who was a 2-star at the time, has become an 8-star, and now he is a 7-star.”

“What is that….”

“I know. “Mr. Oh Jin is a case that makes no sense.”

To be honest, the growth rate was unbelievable even when I saw it with my own eyes.

Oh Jin also smiled bitterly and nodded.

‘When I think about it this way, it really doesn’t make sense.’

He could understand why other candidates were looking at him with envy.

“There is probably no one other than Nokjonseong who has grown as fast as Mr. Ojin.”

Manager Han shook his head and took back the schedule he had given Oh Jin.

Oh Jin turned his head and checked the electronic clock hanging on the wall.

The time is 11:23.

There is still about an hour left until the meeting.

“Do you know anything about the other participants?”

“Well… I know a few awakened people who are considered strong candidates.”

Manager Han continued by showing pictures of the awakened candidates who participated as candidates on his smartphone.

“First of all, Namgoong Hwi came as a representative yesterday. “Befitting its title of wind god, it is famous for its ability to manipulate the wind freely.”

“We are both Leos, but our fighting style is quite different from Lee Woo-hyuk.”

It seems that Lee Woo-hyuk clearly used a sword.

“Well, the key to Leo is not weapons, but the ability to control ‘wind’ itself.”

Even if the stigmata were the same, how each awakened person used the stigmata was very different.

“The next strong candidate is Jason Hardy, who competed in the United States and is called ‘Iron Fist’ in Asia. Although he has not reached 10 stars like Nam Gung Hwi, he is quite capable among the 9 star awakened people.”

“Among the participants, is Nam Gung-Hwi the only 10-star?”

“yes.”

Manager Han nodded and continued speaking.

“There are very few awakened people with 10 stars or higher… and even if there are, most of them are reluctant to apply to Chilseong.”

“Well. Even if you become Chilseong at that level, there isn’t much you can gain.”

If you become a Chilseong, you can gain enormous honor and power, but in return, there are restrictions on your actions.

If you are an awakened person who is reluctant to be held up as the hope and hero of humanity, it would be natural for you to be reluctant to apply to Chilseong in the first place.

‘I was going to refuse at first.’

If it weren’t for finding a way to grow Heukcheon, I wouldn’t have even thought about wanting to become Chilseong.

‘So, among the awakened people who are not Seven Stars, there are Seven Star Awakened ones?’

First of all, there wasn’t much information about that type of awakened person because they were reluctant to be revealed.

“In addition to Jason Hardy, Orlando Bale, who competed in England, is also known as an outstanding player among the Sagittarius Awakened.”

“As expected, there are strong candidates from the United States, China, and the United Kingdom.”

“Well… there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Manager Han nodded with a wry smile.

China is the country with the largest number of awakened people, and the United States is the country with the most high-level awakened people. And even to England, which has the largest number of seven stars, including Allen Oscar, the non-gok star, Rebecca Bell, Okseong, and Bianca Bennett, the green star.

Of course, there are only a handful of awakened people whose patriotism is strong enough to use the expression that the country ‘possesses’ it.

Still, at least there were many awakened people who did not want to see the country where they were born and raised be ruined by monsters, so the national power of the country was bound to increase.

‘In a world where monsters run rampant, safety is national strength.’

Well anyway.

“We won’t be able to know exactly what our skills are until the competition starts.”

“I believe that Mr. Oh Jin has what it takes to become Chilseong.”

Oh Jin burst into laughter at the look in Manager Han’s eyes that was not pretentious but full of sincerity.

“It should work.”

If you don’t become Chilseong, there is no way to set foot in the fountain of the Milky Way.

“It’s almost time.”

“Oh yeah. “Please be careful.”

As I was talking about various things with a manager, it was already approaching 12:30.

After saying hello to a manager, Oh Jin went up to the 50th floor.

‘Is it over there?’

When I was about to enter the conference room after seeing the guide on the wall.

“You cannot enter now.”

A stick of rice cake approached and blocked the entrance to the conference room.

“…You say you can’t come in?”

“The competition rules and schedule meeting has already started at 12 o’clock. “I can’t let you in in the middle of the meeting.”

What kind of bullshit are you talking about?

“I was told that the meeting would start at 12:30.”

“It seems there was some kind of mistake. “The meeting starts at 12 o’clock.”

A man with a square jaw and sturdy build shook his head with a stern expression.

“….”

As Oh Jin continued to think about what kind of shitty situation this was, the Shanghai Tower emblem engraved on the chest of the bodyguards’ suits caught his eye.

“Was it Wei or are you working for him?”

“Mr. Wei is the sponsor who provided the most support to make this Seven Star Council a success. Of course, we are also supporting the council to ensure that it runs smoothly under Mr. Wei.”

ah.

So this is what happened.

‘So they gave us the wrong schedule from the beginning?’

A laugh escaped Ojin’s mouth.

Yesterday, he openly criticized me in front of people, so I never thought he would do such a cute thing.

‘I guess this is also Namgoonghwi’s order.’

The fact that Nangunghwi and Wei, the supporter of the Seven Star Council, are related to each other was something that had been expected since yesterday when they were in debt.

“So you’re saying you won’t let me in now? Even though the candidate has arrived?”

“sorry. “I will send you a separate summary of the competition schedule from the meeting later.”

The square-jawed man shook his head with an expression as hard as a stone.

“ha.”

Ojin sighed deeply and stroked his hair.

“Let’s see…”

He folded his fingers one by one.

One, two, three.

“huh.”

No matter how I look at it, I think it was more than three times.

“What now….”

“Exceed.”

It’s a shame!!

He kicked the man blocking the door in the stomach, sending a thunderbolt throughout his body.

“Kuhuheook!”

The man’s body bounced like a cannonball, broke the door, and tumbled into the conference room.

“What is it?”

“Aaaah!”

“What happened all of a sudden…”

The conference room was engulfed in commotion.

Oh Jin passed through the broken door and entered the conference room at a leisurely pace.

A long table with twenty-eight seats.

I walked to an empty seat and pulled a chair.

“This is my place, right?”

A cold silence fell in the once bustling conference room.
