So Ohjin let out a disbelieving laugh and looked around. The trembling civilians behind the barrier had vanished without a trace, and the same went for NT, whom hed risked his life to rescue.
All that remained was a beautiful woman with dark green hair. It looked as if several scattered pieces were mashed together to create the existence of Rebecca Bell.
Are you saying it was all an act from the beginning? he asked.
"Hehe. Sorry for fooling you." Rebecca smiled and stuck out her tongue. Would NT have looked exactly like that in about 10 years? Even though her body had grown, he felt like he could see NTs face overlapped with hers. "Wed have to be crazy to let ordinary civilians participate, right?
That was true. He had thought something was off from the beginningespecially when he saw a 10-year-old child participate in a competition to select members of the Seven Stars, who were known as the Hope of Humanity. Does the stigma of Gemini allow people to create clones? he asked.
All he knew was that it gave the power to freely control vegetation, and he thought it was meant to be used with things like tree trunks, roots, and seeds for attack and defense. What was up with the clones?
Rebecca shrugged. "That is my unique skill."
Ohjin clicked his tongue. I can't believe I didn't notice. Even if he didnt know she could create clones, he never thought hed be dragged around to such an extent. His pride as a professional scammer was a bit hurt.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
Allen approached with a wry smile. We got together and practiced for a few weeks so that the candidates wouldn't notice. To hide their participation, the Seven Stars created a sense of urgency and fear.
"Is that why you cut Jasons arm apart?" Ohjin asked.
"Oh yes. I admit it was a bit far. Healing specialists should be by his side right now."
Ohjin laughed and nodded. Though it had been to deceive the participants, cutting someones arm off had crossed a line. Well, thats also why he had never even suspected Allen of being the blue-armored knight.
"We had to," Rebecca said in a relaxed tone, "so that we could find a 'jewel' like you in the mud." She approached Ohjin and stretched out her hand as she laughed. "Welcome to the Seven Stars."
He sighed and pulled himself up with her help. Ugh Was it because hed relaxed? Pain crashed over his body in waves.
"Oh, wait a minute, please." Rebecca flicked her fingers.
Crrdddddk
A tree trunk rose from the ground, and something resembling a banana leaf wrapped around him.
"It's not as effective as an Aquariuss power, Rebecca said, but Geminis also have some healing power." Green plant sap flowed from the leaves and soaked into his injuries. His pain subsided rapidly, and the wound visibly healed. Shed said it was worse than an Awakener of Aquarius, but his wound healed considerably quickly.
"By the way, are you sure you're an 8-Star, Uncle? she asked with a twinkle in her eyes. Your body hasn't been reconstructed yet, right?"
Ohjin gave a bitter smile as NTs face flashed through his mind. I dont think our age gap is big enough for you to call me an uncle.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didnt realize I was doing it." Rebecca burst into laughter, muttering that it was already a habit. "Should I call you oppa, then?"
Arent you older?" he asked. She only looked to be in her early 20s, but he remembered that she was older than Ha-eun.
Awww, Oppa She winked at him and said, How could you say that to a beautiful woman?
Allen gave her a pitying look. Maybe they seemed so friendly with each other because they were from the same country.
"Oppa Oppa Rebecca repeated. Well, it doesnt feel quite right. I like Uncle the most!" She reached a decision by herself, lightly tapped Ohjin on the back, and smiled like a little girl.
"Well, then, I've learned a lesson. Ohjin, you can spend the next week however you want, whether it be here at the hotel or home."
"Yes, understood." Ohjin nodded and headed to the waiting Ha-eun.
Allen watched him leave.
A moment later, Olivia walked up and said, "Allen, there is still one vacancy among the Seven Stars, so shall we convene again soon?"
Thump!
Allen suddenly fell sideways and held himself up against the wall.
"A-Allen?"
"Haa, haa!" he took in a few labored breaths and touched his forehead. Although hed managed to block Ohjin's last attack, the effect of the impact still lingered.
'If I hadnt stopped it with my sword' He smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead before gulping at the ominous chill that ran down his spine. What monster have you created, Lady Vega?"
"Allen! Are you okay, Allen?!" Olivia shouted when she saw him leaning against the wall and roughly breathing. She turned her head to where Rebecca had been following them. Rebecca! Please hurry and treat Huh? Rebecca?"
The other woman had already vanished.

"Yes! I knew it would be him!" Ha-eun, watching the news from the hotel room, continued to hug the sofa cushion while swinging her legs. Should his nickname be changed to Something-Something Star instead of Lightning Wolf? Her eyes shone with glee, like she was a wife whod seen an article about her husbands promotion.
She stood up and opened the trunk shed brought. "Let's see S-since I said I would give him a special gift once he became a Seven Star She carefully took a set of daring lingerie decorated with lace out and looked a bit nervous. H-hed be happy to see me wearing this, right?
Just looking at it was enough to make her blush, but she thought he deserved an amazing reward for his excellent performance and achievement. Her lips curled into a smile as she imagined what would happen later. "Tonight hehehe. Okay, Ill show him how seductive I can be!
Shed been wondering how she could show her sensuality as his senior since hed been treating her like a child who needed protection. After changing into the lingerie, she paced near the front door and waited for Ohjin to arrive.
Thump, thump
Familiar footsteps moved down the hallway.
He's here! She quickly turned the lights off and set the mood with mood lighting before sensually posing against the wall and trying to look as sexy as possible.
Squeak
The hotel rooms door slowly swung open.
Ha-eun, excited for the moment he saw her, fully opened her eyes and seductively whispered, "Haha. Is my baby here?" When she turned her head to look at him
Huh? She locked eyes with a girl who looked to be about 10 years old. "What?"
The girl had green highlights in her hair and stood in shock for a moment at the sight of Ha-eun posing in sexy lace lingerie; then she turned her head and shouted down the hallway. Uuuunnccclllee! Theres a naked lady in hereeeeee!
Not even a second later, Ha-eun's desperate screams rang through the hotel.
