Episode 226

Seven Star Council (2)

“Hey, the association is coming after a long time.”

Looking up at the tall association building in Yeouido, Ha-eun exclaimed.

As she said, it’s been so long that I can’t remember the last time the two of us visited the association.

‘Chief Han wants to be well.’

Oh-jin smiled as she remembered him, who looked like a gorilla reincarnated into a human.

I wondered how the manager, who had many years of experience, was doing without knowing anyone else.

“Oh right. Let’s eat the association beopkana while we’re gone!”

“Five.”

also my sister

I don’t know where to pick out such a clever word.

“Do you want me to buy you Korean beef?”

“After all, meat eaten with other people’s money tastes the best.”

The two men, excited at the thought of raising a ship with the blood of the people, headed to the association with light steps.

“It’s been a while, Oh Jin-san.”

A manager was standing outside the association, waiting for him in advance.

After discovering Oh Jin, he reached out and reached out with a grin as vicious as a murder gorilla created by a mad scientist.

It was unbelievable, but it was an expression of pure welcome to Oh Jin, whom I had not seen in a long time.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, so I can’t get used to it.’

Instinctively, the hand that was about to grab the weapon was forcibly lifted up and a manager grabbed the outstretched hand.

“How were you?”

“well… It’s been a while since I’ve had a lot of work. Still, it went without a hitch.”

The manager smiled bitterly and nodded his head.

“I’ve heard a lot about Oh Jin’s activities. From the moment he first tried to recruit Mr. Oh Jin into the association, he knew he was an extraordinary person, but… To be honest, I never imagined it would be like this.”

From slaying Doyun Cheon, the King of Owls, to his performance in Japan and San Frutuoso, right after his succession in the Cole Grande family against the leech faction with Damian.

Of course, some of these news were intentionally manipulated or hidden by Oh Jin, but rumors spread.

In any case, they were so enormous that it could not be considered as the activity of an awakened individual who had not been awakened for less than two years.

“It was all possible with the full support of the association.”

“haha. I didn’t give much support, but I’m sorry for telling you that.”

Manager Han looked back at Ha-eun, who was standing next to him, bursting with a simple smile that did not match his appearance.

“How is Ha-eun these days?”

“How am I doing?”

Ha-eun pulled Oh-jin’s arm slightly and hugged him as if to show off.

A manager who saw the two of them clinging to each other smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Even when we first met, they said we weren’t lovers.”

“At the time, it wasn’t really.”

“haha. From that moment on, in my opinion, the two of them seemed more than lovers.”

Director Han glanced down at Ha-eun’s right leg, which was now intact, and continued.

“You know what? Oh Jin, who usually revealed money a lot, did he say that he had to use his own money to make Haeun’s prosthetic leg?”

“Uh, huh? Did something like that happen?”

Ha-eun opened her eyes roundly, as if it was called Geumsichomun, and then, hiding her red cheeks, tuk-tuk hit the floor with the tip of her shoe.

“When did you do such a creepy thing again?”

Ha-eun starts to wiggle Oh-jin’s ass from an angle that Han cannot see.

Oh Jin sighed as if his head hurt.

“… Boss.”

“Oh, was it a secret? I’m sorry about this, Oh Jin-san.”

Contrary to saying sorry, Manager Han was looking at Ha-eun and Oh-jin with satisfied faces.

“Stop going in.”

Oh-jin walked around and entered the association.

I remembered something from the past, but my face got hot.

‘I’m glad.’

Still, I did not forget this memory.

Not yet.

“You can go straight to the president’s office.”

A manager got on the elevator where the button could be pressed only by holding the card key.

In the office of the president of the association, following his guidance, there was an old man, Tae-ho Han, nicknamed ‘the viper’.

“Are you here?”

Han Tae-ho got up from his seat and approached Oh-jin.

“Yes. What did you call me for?”

“Sit down for now. Would you mind drinking coffee?”

“Yes.”

“Wait a minute.”

If you’re the president of the association, you can tell the secretary to make coffee.

Tae-ho Han moved himself, took coffee and served it to the table.

“First of all, I heard that something bad has happened recently, but I’m glad it’s okay.”

Are you talking about being trapped in the magic realm?

“Thanks to other people who came to help, I was able to get through.”

“Isn’t it all because of the virtues you have accumulated?”

Han Tae-ho took a sip of coffee and smiled bitterly.

“… I wish he would come back alive.”

The atmosphere in the room subsided heavily.

It wasn’t difficult to figure out who the ‘that guy’ Han Tae-ho was muttering about.

“When I arrived, the old man Cheon Sang-gil was already… .”

“Ah, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to reproach you. Just think of it as an old man’s complaint.”

Han Tae-ho shook his head and continued.

As if he had a personal acquaintance with Cheon Sang-gil, there was a deep sadness on his old face.

“Anyway, hasn’t mankind recently lost two out of seven stars?”

“… right.”

Damian Salvator, Cheon Seonseong and Cheon Sanggil, Tamrangseong.

The news that two of the Seven Stars had died in just a few months created a global panic.

“It seems that the leaders of the countries around the world think that special measures are necessary for this situation.”

“If it is an extraordinary measure… ?”

“Soon the Seven Stars Council will be held.”

Seven Star Parliament.

It was a kind of competition in which candidates elected by each country gathered and tested, and the Awakened who received the highest score and evaluation was given the title of a new ‘Seven Stars’.

“Are you saying that the two vacant positions will be filled this time?”

“Yes.”

Han Tae-ho nodded his head.

The fact that he handed over information about the Chilsung Council even when he called Oh Jin.

“I want you to run as a candidate representing Korea in the Chilsung Assembly this time.”

“… What do you mean?”

Oh-jin looked at Han Tae-ho with a puzzled expression.

Are you going to send yourself out as a candidate for the Seven Stars?

“But I’m still eight years old.”

If you are a candidate to be selected by the Seven-Star Council, you must be a high-ranking Awakened at least 9 stars.

No, in fact, evaluations prevailed that even 9 stars were not enough to be counted as seven stars, but it was obvious that it would be controversial if he, who had only 8 stars, was nominated.

“Isn’t there a rule that only Awakened people of 9 or higher can be selected for the Seven Star candidates?”

“Isn’t there such a thing as an implicit rule?”

“It is an implicit rule, and it is not a violation of the actual rule.”

As Han Tae-ho said, there was no rule that only Awakened persons with 9 or higher stars could be selected as candidates.

“Aren’t there other Awoken other than me?”

Although Korea did not have many High Awakeneds, there were more than 20 High Awakeneds in the country as a whole.

Of course, most of them have stigmas of a lower hierarchy that are commonly called ‘miscellaneous stigmata’.

This did not mean that there were no high-ranking Awakeneds with stigmas of the 12th zodiac or higher.

“Isn’t even Lee Woo-hyuk a 9-Star Awakened right now?”

The news that Woo-hyeok Lee, who had recently entered the closing training, had crossed the 8-star wall and reached the 9-star, was so famous that even Oh-jin, who was lying around in the hospital belonging to the Cole Grande family, heard the news.

“I contacted the guild leader Lee Woo-hyuk in advance and asked for his consent.”

“Is there any reason to do that?”

“He used to be like that, Cheon Sang-gil. Soon, a new Chilsung will emerge in Korea.”

Han Tae-ho turned his deeply sunken eyes to Oh-jin.

“You are the new Seven Stars that Cheon Sang-gil spoke of.”

“… … .”

Have you been saying things like that without realizing it?

‘I didn’t know you thought of me that much.’

To be honest, there was no deep connection between him and Cheon Sang-gil.

Because we’ve only actually talked about it a few times.

“And considering the performances you’ve shown so far, I don’t think it’s surprising at all if you were selected as a candidate for Chilsung.”

As Han Tae-ho said.

Oh-jin’s performances over the past year or so were so great that other Awakeneds could not even dare to surpass it.

“Can you attend the Seven Stars Assembly?”

“that… .”

Oh Jin narrowly opened his eyes and was deep in thought.

it’s seven stars

It was a good opportunity to acquire great honor and power at once if it were to happen.

‘Honestly, I’m not hungry.’

Even though the time was rushed, it was too rushed.

It’s been a year and a few months since I became an Awakened.

Even though he had performed a lot so far, he felt it was too early to aim for the place of Chilsung.

‘Because it feels like a rookie actor is receiving an Academy Award for Best Actor.’

Skills are important, but experience is just as important.

And above all.

‘Even if you become a Chilsung, you don’t have much to gain.’

In the current situation of Ojin, the honor and power of Chilsung were not really needed.

There are various rewards, such as receiving the full autonomy of Ganghwa-do, just like the heavenly road the moment he becomes a seven-star, but it was not a very appetizing reward for Oh-jin, who urgently needed to raise the level of Heukcheon right now.

“Please. Korea needs a hero like you right now.”

Han Tae-ho bowed his head deeply toward Oh-jin.

After the death of Tamrangseong Cheon Sang-gil.

Now, Korea was in a state of confusion to the extent that it would not be awkward to call it a dogged edition.

Stock prices hit the bottom as if they had jumped off a cliff, various crimes and terrorism surged, and even riots broke out across the country.

The effect of the difference between the presence and absence of ‘Chilsung’ on the country was beyond imagination.

Especially now that the fear of a terrorist organization called the Black Star Society is at its peak.

‘It has nothing to do with me.’

Despite Han Tae-ho’s appeal, Oh-jin’s thoughts did not change.

He wasn’t even a patriotic independence fighter.

There was no reason to devote one’s body for the sake of the country.

“I’m sorry, but the offer was rejected… .” “Of course, I know that even if you become a Seven Star, nothing will help you much other than being ‘baptized by the stars’.”

star baptism?

“… What is star baptism?”

“Uh? Did you not know?”

I didn’t even think that I would be mentioned as a candidate for Chilsung, so I didn’t know much.

“The moment you become the Seven Stars, you will be baptized by the constellations in the fountain of the Milky Way in the sanctuary. It is said that the fountain of the Milky Way is a place where three dragon veins intersect, so being baptized there sometimes raises the level of the Awakened.”

dragon veins.

Not just one, but a place where three dragon veins intersect.

“I was always thinking of dedicating this body for the sake of my country.”

Oh-jin nodded while holding Han Tae-ho’s hand firmly.
