I’m not a Regressor chapter 230

Episode 230

Seven Star Council (6)

“Ji, what are you doing now, Oh Jin?!”

Namgung-hwi looked at Oh-jin with his mouth wide open and a look full of surprise.

Kicking the guard blocking the entrance and getting inside?

It was crazy to see with your own eyes that it was done in a place where all the candidates to become the next Chilsung were gathered, not in the back alley of the market.

“That’s what I want to say.”

a cold voice.

Oh Jin sat down and looked at Nam Gung Hwi with cold eyes.

“Is this what Namgunghui ordered?”

“… Did I do it?”

“When I tried to enter the conference room, they attacked me, saying that I did not have the right to enter here. Even using the stigmata.”

“Yes?”

Namgung-hwi looked at Oh-jin with an expression of what nonsense he was talking about.

Even though he was instructed to block the entrance using time as an excuse, he never ordered to attack.

And he didn’t just attack, he used ‘stigmata’.

No matter how unqualified he was, it was not something he could do for a candidate who represented a country.

“I never gave orders like that.”

“is that so? They attacked me saying it was Nam Gung-hwi’s order.”

“What nonsense!”

Namgunghwi slammed the table with a thump, and his eyes shone sharply.

“Do you have any evidence?”

“There was CCTV in the hallway. You can play it.”

“That said, you will be responsible for it.”

Nam Gung-hwi furiously distorted his expression and contacted Wei through his smartphone.

Not long after, Wei entered the conference room with a tablet containing CCTV footage.

“Try it on.”

“Oh, I see.”

Wei, who had a cold sweat running down his forehead as he came in a hurry, played the video.

– I can’t get past this place!

In the video, a security guard, who was guarding the door of the conference room like some kind of Jangpan-pa equipment, was waving his fists towards Oh-jin.

On the bodyguard’s left chest, a blue light, which could be said to be evidence of the use of stigma, was slowly leaking out.

“No, what is this… .”

Namgung-hwi opened his mouth wide with an expression that he was at a loss for words.

The sight of the bodyguard as if he had swallowed a bowl of any dangerous drug gave him a headache as if he had been hit in the back with a hammer.

-You don’t deserve to sit in the same seat as Namgunghui!

In the video, even the sound was recorded, Nam Gung-Hwi’s name was clearly heard.

“… … .”

Silence settled in the conference room.

Oh Jin looked at Nam Gung Hwi and spoke in a low voice.

“You still don’t know what’s going on?”

“Jeon… I have never been instructed like that.”

“It’s strange. So, did that bodyguard do that voluntarily?”

“that.”

When Nam Gung-Hwi was slurring his words with a hardened face.

“I think it would be better for the two of you to solve this separately later.”

in front of the conference room.

A woman standing in front of a vivid holographic image that appears to have been made out of relics calmly opened her mouth.

“Isn’t this the time to talk about the competition rules and schedule?”

A terribly clerical voice resounded in the conference room.

The woman swept up her thick horn-rimmed glasses and glanced around.

The eyes of the twenty-eight Awoken who sat in the seat turned to the woman.

As if she had no interest in the commotion in front of her, she continued speaking calmly.

“My name is Olivia, who is in charge of this seven-star council. She usually works as an assistant to Allen Oscar.”

After a brief self-introduction, Olivia continued with a hard voice.

“Since a new person has arrived, I will briefly summarize what I said earlier and tell you again.”

The holographic image changed to create a wide bird’s eye view.

“This is what the dungeon looks like where you will be competing.”

Olivia pointed to a bird’s-eye view made of holograms with a laser pointer.

“There are several terrains in the dungeon, such as mountainous, underwater, and desert terrain, and your starting point will be randomly determined.”

Twenty-eight pillars of light were created throughout the hologram.

“The ranking is divided into points system. The candidate with the most points within the time limit wins first place.”

Oh-jin nodded, taking a bird’s eye view of the dungeon made of holograms.

“There are two ways to earn points. For one, you can get points according to your rank by killing monsters that wander around the dungeon.”

“What about the other one?”

“In the dungeon, ordinary people recruited by the council will be hiding in a specific place.”

Are you a public person?

“Ah, of course, we have all the minimum safeguards in place.”

Olivia continued with a calm expression.

“If you rescue these common people and successfully move them to the ‘safety zone’ that exists in the dungeon, you can earn points. However, in this case, the amount of points that can be acquired varies according to the evaluation of the general public who rescued it, rather than obtaining a set point.”

In other words.

Is it that each ordinary person in the dungeon acts as a kind of evaluation group?

“In the eyes of the general public, you will be tested whether you are worthy to be called the hope of mankind.”

“Can I ask you a question?”

Namgunghwi quietly raised his hand.

Olivia nodded her head.

“What is the difference between the points for catching a monster and the point for rescuing ordinary people?”

“I can’t say for sure because the points differ for each level of the monster, but if the general public who rescued you gave the highest rating, you can earn huge points at once.”

“… It’s a matter of whether you want to accumulate points stably by hunting monsters, or whether you will get a lot of points at once through rescue.”

“It is correct.”

Namgunghwi nodded his head as if he knew.

Oh Jin looked at Nam Gung Hwi with a slightly surprised look.

‘I thought you knew about the contents of the exam in advance.’

When I found out that the wrong timetable had been delivered, I naturally thought that there was some kind of connection with the council, but apparently that’s not the case.

“Any other questions?”

At Olivia’s question, a blond young man raised his arm.

It was an Awakener with a uniquely shaped bow, as if made of leaves, on his back.

“This is Orlando Hardy. Yes, please tell me.”

“I heard that each monster has different points depending on the grade. How many grades are there?”

“There are a total of five grades of monsters in the dungeon, and you can check the grade by the color of the necklace they wear.”

The holographic image flashed and five colors appeared.

White, green, blue, red, black.

“The lowest rank is white, and black is the highest rank.”

Olivia, who was quietly continuing her explanation, stopped the laser pointer at a black background.

“There is only one black level monster in the dungeon. And… As soon as you catch this monster, you can win first place in the competition.”

“… It’s number one right?”

Orlando’s eyes lit up with an interesting expression.

“Yes. However, no matter how many of you are, it will be difficult for you to catch a black-grade monster.”

“Hmm.”

At her warning, the candidates lit up their eyes with a happy expression on the contrary.

Except for the misinformation, he is a monster so powerful that he openly warns of high-ranking Awakened people.

“Huh. Where did you catch Naimdra?”

A bald man with a square jaw and a reliable build grinned.

Jason Hardy.

He was called Tekken and was a talented Awakener, who was predicted by people as a strong candidate to be selected for the Seven Stars in this competition.

“I can’t tell you the details.”

“haha! Good! I’m aiming for that black rank!”

Jason clenched his fists as if threatening the other candidates.

“Any other questions?”

No candidate raised his hand.

Olivia nodded and turned off the holographic image.

“The venue will be moved from the 100th floor of the goddess goddess before the opening ceremony to the warp device prepared by us. The time limit is 6 hours. All you have to do is rescue as many people as possible and hunt the monster.”

The content of the competition was simple without being complicated.

‘Rather, it’s so simple that I don’t know if it’s even possible.’

Anyway, I liked that it wasn’t complicated.

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow at 12 o’clock in the banquet hall. It will probably be crowded with a lot of spectators coming to the tournament, so please come early and wait.”

Olivia walked out of the meeting room as if she had finished talking.

“Oh, and one last thing.”

As she was about to go outside, she turned around.

She looked at the candidates with deep sunken eyes.

“Do not forget it. You are here to become the heroes who will illuminate the future of mankind.”

With those words, Olivia went out.

An awkward silence settled in the conference room.

for a while too.

“Black grade! As long as you get the black grade, you can become the Seven Stars right away!”

“No, we can safely kill other monsters here… .”

“Do you think the points will be significant if you do the rescue of the general public properly?”

The candidates who were left in the conference room gathered three or three and began to plan a strategy for the competition.

Namgunghwi, who I had been staring at as if to kill Oh Jin before, seemed to have been distracted by the competition, so I was meeting with Chinese candidates and talking about how to move.

‘I completely forgot about the bodyguard job.’

Oh Jin smiled as he remembered the bodyguard who was taken to the medical team.

Well, from his point of view, it was a good thing.

‘If you keep watching the video, you might find out that it was manipulated as an illusion.’

Oh Jin got up from his chair and came out of the meeting room because there were no candidates he became close with, and there were no candidates of the same nationality.

“You are a hero.”

Mumbling those awkward words as if chewing a grain of sand, Oh-jin got into the elevator.

* * *

“Goodbye and come!”

next day.

In front of the warp heading to the dungeon, Haeun hugged Oh Jin and kissed her on the cheek.

“I will be back.”

“If I don’t get first place, I know how to swim home and come back.”

“What World Cup is it?”

“It’s something similar.”

Ha-eun giggled and patted Oh-jin on the shoulder.

“Then we’ll be cheering for you, so let’s party when we come out!”

“I haven’t even started, but I’ve been drinking kimchi soup.”

“It’s all because we believe in our Ojini.”

Looking at Ha-eun shrugging her shoulders, Oh-jin grinned.

[My child.]

Vega soared and landed on Oh Jin’s head.

[Isn’t it really necessary for my wife to go with me?]

“Well, according to the rules, you have to go in alone.”

[But the real woman and you are not really one.]

Vega pouted her lips as if she was dissatisfied.

Oh-jin grabbed her from the top of her head and held her in her hand.

“I’m going to go here alone because I can talk about it even after winning for no reason.”

[Whoa. Got it.]

Vega sighed in regret and nodded her head.

[If you come back as the Seven Stars, your mother will surely bless you.]

Ohjin nodded and moved to the warp device installed in the venue.

Woo woo woo!

The light emanating from the relic wrapped around Oh Jin’s body.

‘It feels different from entering the gate again.’

I have to say I’m a little more upset.

Anyway, it wasn’t a good feeling.

“Let’s see.”

Oh Jin looked down at the silver bracelet on his wrist.

The number zero floated on the bracelet provided by the council.

‘Is this the point you currently have?’

I pressed the red button next to the bracelet.

wow.

As the hologram was made, a bird’s eye view of the dungeon that I saw in the council room yesterday unfolded.

“Something like a mini-map.”

On the holographic map, Ojin’s current location was marked with a red dot.

Only your location is displayed.

There was no function to detect nearby monsters or indicate to the general public that they were hiding.

“If it’s this way… It’s mountainous.”

Oh-jin, who grasped the approximate location of the holographic map, moved slowly.

‘Once you go to the underwater terrain.’

Ojin, with his hydro-friendly skills and stigma of the Seahorse, was good at underwater warfare, but most of the awakened ones were most reluctant to do it.

Once you get to the watery terrain, you will be able to monopolize the monsters alone.

“great.”

Taang!

Using a wire shooter, he flew between towering rocks and trees.

When it was moving toward the underwater terrain at such a high speed.

“Ahhh! Sah, please save me!”

A high-pitched scream resounded through the forest.
