Chapter 238: A Hero for the Downtrodden (8)
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.
