Episode 227

Seven Star Council (3)

The venue for the Seven Star Congress was the Shanghai Tower, located in Shanghai, China.

A skyscraper with a whopping 127 floors.

Around the stylish building with a curved appearance as if a dragon ascends to heaven, there were people from all over the world and officials from broadcasting stations who gathered to capture them on camera.

“Hey… If this is enough, there is almost no end-of-year awards ceremony?”

Ha-eun smirked, saying, “I should have come dressed in a very dress.”

She chuckled as she looked back at the crowds gathered around the tower.

“It’s still a competition for selecting seven stars, but is it okay to have a festive atmosphere like this?”

“For people, it’s like a festival.”

To people, the ‘chil-star’ was a kind of symbolic existence.

Maybe it’s the awakening who represents the hero who protects mankind.

In that sense, the existence of Chilsung had to be made known to the public as much as possible, rather than being secretly hidden. Because it had no value as a symbol that no one knew about.

“There are a lot of Awakened people you’ve seen on TV a few times.”

Ha-eun looked around her head as if curiously.

As she said, around the tower, world-famous high-ranking awakeners such as those who made great achievements in subjugating monsters and the guild heads of super-sized guilds that lead only guild members in units of ten thousand were crowded.

Perhaps it is hard to count how many High Awakened people have gathered in one place since the first rift was formed.

“Are we coming… In Korea, it is still quite famous, but when you come here, there is no other jjugri?”

“shut up.”

Because there were so many celebrities, there was little attention focused on Oh Jin.

If a famous Korean actor goes to Hollywood and gets a cold meal, is this exactly what it feels like?

“Hi-Hi. But don’t worry, as much as this older sister, our Ojini will be by your side no matter how wrinkled you are.”

Ha-eun giggled and slapped Oh-jin’s ass with her palm.

‘I thought it would be like this, so I was going to come alone.’

Ha-eun insisted that she follow Han Sako, so she had no choice but to bring her.

‘After all, there is nothing to do.’

Oh Jin was the only Korean representative to participate in the tournament, so even if she followed, there was nothing she could do but cheer for.

“Children, it’s now. I’m not interested in you, but when the competition starts, you’re going to be thrilled and do a 3-round jump in the air.”

“What a crazy reaction that is.”

well, though.

“When you come back from the Seven Stars, this noona will give you a special gift, so please do well and come? Understand?”

With Ha-eun by my side, I felt more motivated.

“What gift?”

“Hi-Hi. It’s a pleasure to come back.”

Ha-eun winks and smiles strangely.

Other than Yongmaek, the reasons to become the Seven Stars increased.

“By the way, how many candidates are participating?”

“They say there are twenty-eight.”

“A lot of them? In Korea, one of the youngest people goes out.”

“Each country has its own number of candidates that can be sent out.”

In the Seven Star Council, the more Awakened powers, the more candidates could be sent out.

In the case of China, the United States and the United Kingdom, which are considered the strongest, as many as four candidates from each country participated in the Chilsung Congress.

“… Was our country that low?”

“In terms of the world, it’s in the middle.”

Originally, thanks to Cheon Sang-gil, he was ranked at the top, but it is said that this time, Cheon Sang-gil died and the Heavenly Guild was annihilated, and the ranking was lowered a lot.

“I couldn’t even attend at all.”

Countries such as Japan, often referred to as ‘land abandoned by the stars,’ where there are no high awakenings at all, did not even participate in the Seven Stars Congress.

In other words.

This means that Korea is the lowest among countries eligible to participate in the Chilsung Assembly.

“These are fucking shameful bastards.”

Ha-eun frowned as if she didn’t like it.

“No, but in the first place, it doesn’t make sense to give a difference by country in the first place, isn’t it?”

Common sense, Ha-eun’s words were natural.

“Because the ripple effect of Chilsung is so great that it controls a country.”

Considering what happened to Korea after Tam Rang-seong’s death, it is understandable that he took such a frivolous approach.

It wasn’t understandable though.

“Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s one or four people.”

It was the same to become a Chilsung by defeating all the other candidates anyway.

“Are you very confident, bastard?”

Ha-eun smiled and poked Oh-jin’s side.

While I was having a conversation with Ha-eun.

“Oh, you two are here.”

Manager Han Jun-man, who followed in the role of a guide, approached me.

“Now that the nominations have been registered, let’s go to our room.”

“What is the competition schedule?”

“The real competition will start in two days. There will be a light opening ceremony in the evening today, and tomorrow we will gather candidates and spread the detailed rules and precautions.”

Manager Han continued the explanation while turning over the schedule received from the management.

“Until two days later, the training room inside the tower can be used freely, and if there is food or necessary items, they will prepare it right away if you tell the management.”

two days later

It was definitely a tight schedule, although it was urgent to select the Seven Stars.

“Have you not heard of how the contest is held?”

“Yes, it will probably be announced tomorrow.”

Oh Jin nodded and followed Han after entering the Shanghai Tower.

The room we were guided to was on the 15th floor.

Considering that the Shanghai Tower has a total of 127 floors, the number of floors was quite low.

“sorry. I was originally going to get a higher floor… .”

A manager scratched his head with a puzzled expression.

“Our request is… It seems to have been misdirected. haha.”

A manager avoids Oh-jin’s gaze with an awkward smile.

Oh-jin could easily figure out why he was making such an embarrassing expression.

‘I was pushed by other candidates, but this.’

A total of 28 candidates will participate in the Chilsung Assembly this time.

Among them, all were high-ranking Awakeneds with 9 or higher stars, except for Ojin.

Most of them are high-ranking Awakeneds with strong stigmas of 12 stars of the ecliptic.

No matter how mischievous had the stigma of the North Star that all Awakened people envy, it was bound to be treated harshly among the leading candidates.

‘No, it would be worse with the stigma of the North Star.’

Doesn’t the zen of envy (羨望) include the meaning of coveting?

It is close to human instinct to harbor malice toward beings who have what they do not have.

“Hmmm. Anyway, the two of you are here in Room 1 and Room 2.”

“Is one room enough?”

Ha-eun returns one of the card keys that the manager gave out.

She grinned and held the room key in her hand and waved it flutteringly.

“… i See.”

Director Han looked at Oh Jin with eyes full of envy, as if tears of blood would flow.

“ha. You can come to the banquet hall on the 100th floor by 7pm.”

A manager who turns around and walks with his shoulders trembling helplessly.

A middle-aged grumbling, ‘I’m also dating because I’m dirty’, was heard faintly in a small voice.

“uh… Have I been a little ignorant?”

Ha-eun scratched her head with a perplexed expression as she looked at the distant director.

* * *

After resting for about 3 hours in the room with Ha-eun.

Oh Jin went up to the 100th floor where the opening ceremony was held.

‘It’s crowded here too.’

The 100th floor was filled with broadcasters and famous awakeners who were seen outside the tower.

As soon as Oh Jin entered the banquet hall, all eyes around him were focused on him.

“… is that him? brain?”

“Among the candidates, the only 8-star?”

“Hey, a guy who didn’t even get a 9-star would become a Chil-sung.”

There was ridicule and ridicule all around.

Oh-jin ate the food laid out on the table as if she didn’t care.

It’s because it’s a seat.

All of them were delicious high-quality food that melted your tongue.

“iced coffee. Then we will start the opening ceremony of the Chilsung Council soon.”

As we waited while we ate our food, the host with a microphone came up on the stage.

“Before the full-scale opening ceremony, there will be a speech by Wei Oh-gak, who helped make the Chilsung Assembly a success.”

Following the host’s words, a middle-aged man with a handsome beard took the stage.

“First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to those who have gathered here to become heroes.”

He spoke in a low, deep voice.

“In the last few months, a great ordeal has come to mankind.”

“Cheon Seon-seong and Tam Rang-seong, who fought against evil for the sake of mankind, lost their lives at the hands of the wicked Heukseonghoe, and countless victims have occurred around the world due to the terrible terrorist acts of the Heukseonghoe.”

“The Black Crusade is not the only threat to mankind. There are also reports from all over the world that Named, who have been inactive for a while, are starting to move again.”

boring speeches.

“In this moment of crisis, the star that will become the lighthouse of mankind is more desperately needed than any other time.”

Wei Five-pointed beckoning, 28 lights illuminating the candidates.

“Let me introduce you to everyone! These are the Awoken who have come to the council to become the new Seven Stars!”

Clap clap clap!

Applause poured in from all sides.

“As a candidate representative, Awaken Nam Gung-hui, who participated on behalf of China, would like to share his thoughts!”

Nam Gung Hwi.

Ojin was also a famous High Awakener whom he had heard of several times.

‘Is it obvious that he was a high-ranking Awakener of the same Leo as Woohyuk Lee?’

I heard a rumor that it had reached 10 stars recently.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Namgunghwi.”

Nam Gung-hwi, walking up the podium, was a handsome man with a fine jawline and flawless skin.

Namgunghwi smiled faintly and bowed his head.

“As Wei said, we are now facing an unprecedented crisis. Perhaps even worse than when the first rift opened and the world fell into chaos.”

Namgung-hwi clenched his fists.

“But.”

Warm eyes swept the audience.

“As always, we will stand up. I will fight a great evil!”

A loud voice resounded through the banquet hall.

“Please look at the candidates who have gathered here to become stars who will light the future of mankind!”

Twenty-seven lights illuminated the candidates.

“Jason Hardy, famous for the title of Iron Fist! Orlando Bale, who shoots arrows that pierce the sky! All of the candidates gathered here are wonderful people who have no lack of being the Seven Stars!”

Applause erupted whenever the lights illuminated the Awakened candidates one by one.

‘I’ll break it, I’ll break it, Shiba.’

Oh Jin laughed at the atmosphere as if he had participated in some kind of year-end awards ceremony.

When you lift your fork with the thought of turning off your mind and having something to eat.

“Oh.”

Namgung-hwi’s gaze turned to Oh-jin.

He had a sly smile on his lips.

“Except for one person.”

Twenty-seven lights were focused on Oh Jin.
