Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 468: Continental Joint Training (3)

Chapter 468: Continental Joint Training (3)


‘Don’t tell me she’s going crazy again.’


I got a bit scared for a second, but fortunately, it wasn’t enough to worry about. I could tell that Hayan just felt a little upset.


That was enough for me to feel rea.s.sured.


She would pout when her anger had reached an intermediate level. She often stuttered more than four times as her complexion turned pale once it had reached higher levels.


Compared to the maxim anger, where she would talk to herself, it was enough to pa.s.s by laughing. She probably must have gotten upset to see an attractive woman. Kylie even came in and had become friendly.


She had already kept all the ordinary women in check, and she was even stricter with beautiful women. If that wizard named Kylie Yale stuck to me rather than Kim Hyunsung, she would have definitely reached intermediate anger.


Fortunately, she didn’t care much about me. It meant that both she and I could live another day.


‘I’m an expert now. An expert.’


As I had been walking with the lump called Jung Hayan for a few years already, I had become more aware of her, and I wanted to applaud myself for that.


At that moment, I could feel proud since I knew her well enough to write a book ent.i.tled, ‘Jung Hayan’s Instruction Manual.’


I naturally opened my mouth as if I wasn’t interested in her at all.


“I think she was a famous actress back on Earth… I don’t know her name well. I really wasn’t interested in that kind of thing.”


“Oh… I see. I’ve seen her. That person… I-I don’t remember well… I didn’t watch a lot of movies…”


“Really?”


“Yes. B-By the way… When you were on Earth, did you have any favorite… celebrity?”


It was a sudden question, but I knew better than anyone that it was a resonance trap. If I nodded like an idiot, the celebrity, as well as those who resembled her, would disappear from existence.


“No. I was busy living, so I didn’t know who was who.”


“Ohh… I see.”


“Yes. And you?”


“I- I was the same. There was… no such things as a TV, and I didn’t have anyone… to go with.”


‘Whew… It’s getting sad again.’


“Really?”


“Yes…”


I already knew that she had been abandoned by her parents and her two older sisters, but I still felt sorrowful when I saw her face.


What was even sadder was how casually she had said this. It no longer mattered to me, but those who listened to it would be affected.


‘Was it Jung Hayeon and Jung Haeun?’


Her first sister was named Jung Hayeon, and her second sister was Jung Haeun.


I thought it was a bit vague when they lost contact, so I looked for them to see if they were summoned to the continent, but there was no result.


Jung Hayan hated mentioning her two older sisters and her mother, and considering that I couldn’t actually find them in the summoned registry, it seemed they had really cut ties.


When I considered that the reason why that sad wizard was obsessed with me was caused by anxiety that she would be abandoned, I felt my heart break even more.


‘Azmodan would also send a standing ovation to those b.i.t.c.hes… If I ever meet them, I’ll backstab them properly.’


As I stroked her hair, she started to smile.


I took off my hand in a hurry because I felt that things would get weird if I kept doing it.


In the meantime, the State soldiers and the Blue Guild staff stepped into a huge building and, under Cho Hyejin’s control, began to move toward their a.s.signed locations.


Of course, all the guild members headed to the shelter except the executive.


Light Kiyoung, an important figure in the State, and Kim Hyunsung, the Guild Master of the Blue, really needed to partic.i.p.ate in the meeting.


Sun Hee-young was known as the senior who could take responsibility for the guild members, while Cho Hyejin handled other things.


I talked to both of them before I left.


“Hee-young, take the guild members and wait at the a.s.signed location.”


“Okay.”


“You can train… you can look around, but you only need to refrain from conversing with troops from other countries. Actually, it doesn’t matter, but we don’t have to cause useless trouble. Some countries are politically sensitive… You can have a meal, but I think it would be better to eat with the common soldiers.”


“Yes. Okay, Kiyoung.”


“Thank you.”


“No. It’s not something to be grateful for. It’s natural. See you later.”


She was the kind to go a little bit crazy too, but seeing her laughing and talking like that made me feel all the more comfortable.


Honestly, at that point, Sun Hee-young looked like a normal person. This was the effect of having relatively insane women around us.


“And Hayan too…”


“W-Where are you going?”


“Conference. I think Hyunsung and Elena will be coming with me. I guess it will take a little while…”


“W-Why the elf?”


“Counselor qualification of the interracial coalition.”


“Ohh… I… see. Will C-Cha Hee-ra go, too?”


“Maybe.”


‘Here comes the intermediate anger.’


She started to pout. The color of her face was vanishing as well.


‘She was about to enter a higher level of anger.’


If I let her keep having those thoughts, her anger would naturally rise.


The moment she did, she’d reached maximum anger in an instant, so I prevented it by lightly kissing her forehead. I thought she grew enough to bear being apart now, but she wasn’t in a good mood as I said that only Elena and Cha Hee-ra could go with me.


She probably didn’t like that I would be in the same s.p.a.ce as Cha Hee-ra.


“I’ll be back. I won’t be too late.”


“Okay…”


At this, she got a bit sullen.


I wanted to take Jung Hayan, but I couldn’t do that.


That was because the conference hall was sure to become a market floor if all the executives gathered at the meeting took even the deputy.


She nodded, pouting as if she understood that there was nothing she could do about it, but when I stroked her hair, I could see that she gave in a little bit.


In the meantime, the elf clung closely to me as if she was happy.


Jung Hayan, who still thought I had to get her treatment, didn’t stop Elena, but she still wasn’t happy.


It would have been a little bit better if Kim Hyunsung was between us two, but the slow-to-notice guy headed to the conference room first with that woman.


For some reason, I started to feel a gaze directed at me from behind.


‘I hope it’s not a big deal.’


I went to the conference room in an instant, all while trying to suppress my anxiety.


In fact, it was too large to be called a conference room.


Since so many people gathered, it seemed they had prepared such a place because of it.


It was a place where the masters of powerful and highly influential guilds from all continents were gathered. It would be appropriate to say that it looked like a parliament building.


There was a large magic hologram in the center, and a platform on which the chairperson who conducted the meeting would stand, and in the center was a large round desk and luxurious chairs.


The State even had a seat at the top of the center.


As I moved slowly, I could see some of the more familiar faces.


I exchanged a brief greeting with the eighth seats of the State, Cheon Gwan-wi and Wi-Ran, and exchanged regards with Yuno Kasugano through eye contact.


Meanwhile, Cha Hee-ra had not arrived yet.


The masters of the middle guilds were also there, but their expressions were all stiff.


Of course, they would be nervous.


Unlike the rest who were used to such a place, this was their first time.


That was even more so when I recalled that the conference was the first step in determining the continent’s fate.


As time pa.s.sed, people started to muzzle. Most people greeted each other or talked about important things that only they knew about before the meeting had even begun.


Some people hauled a.s.s to try to make a network somehow, and there were people who talked in secrecy as if the network they had built up were quite big already.


In fact, it was the same for me.


I spent some time chatting with people from the Laios, the Republic, and the interracial coalition and even approached those who seemed to be worthwhile to greet.


It was only natural to pretend to be close to those who came to me first.


In the case of a mid-sized clan, they were snooping around and looking at what they could gain. The same went for Kim Hyunsung.


He shook hands with those who had come to him, but anxiety continued to linger on his face.


‘Gosh…’


Most of them were too sn.o.bbish, considering that they were there to stop the crisis on the continent.


Only a few people probably sincerely felt the seriousness of the situation.


Even in the Republic, Laios, the State, and the interracial coalition, some people saw the future threats, as if it wasn’t going to come soon.


‘Someday, a meteorite will fall on the continent!’


It meant that there might be personnel who had simply taken this as an empty story.


It could be said that the cause was that Benignore, who had come to the body of Light Kiyoung herself in the war with the Republic, spoke too vaguely.


All that she said was that a ‘threat exists.’


Even if she had talked honestly, it wouldn’t have changed that much. Originally, the human race was designed to move only when the crisis was right before their eyes.


‘It’s not easy to truly move before it happens.’


As if Kim Hyunsung was also thinking similarly, he wasn’t wearing a good expression.


‘He must be feeling it now as well.’


I thought it would show even more when we started the training in earnest. He must’ve been sure that all the events that took place in the first round had been prevented. All we had to do was gather our strength, but…


‘Seeing the situation, it looks like it’ll be a mess.’


There would be things he could feel even if he couldn’t see them with the Mind’s Eyes.


There was a pig unbelievably huge to be a warrior, occupying a seat firmly.


It didn’t feel like Park Deokgu.


Instead of muscle ma.s.s, more than 90% of the body components of that pig’s body were fat ma.s.s.


Honestly, he seemed to breathe with difficulties.


It wasn’t just him.


There were men dressed in all sorts of luxury, and I could see a few who even seemed completely unknowledgeable when it came to fighting.


There was a huge truck of people I doubted could head the group that would determine the continent’s fate.


I didn’t even need to mention what Kim Hyunsung would have thought just by looking at them.


It was clear that the scenes that he hadn’t seen because he was stuck in Lindel, which seemed to be in a bit better situation, were constantly coming into his eyes.


‘It’s impossible.’


‘It was impossible to face the threat with these people.’ This was just my delusion, but I certainly felt like he was thinking in that manner.


I could see that his face, initially full of hope, was slowly sinking into despair.


That was how the first meeting began.


Despite the seriousness of the situation, the meeting ended in just two hours, and that day, each continent’s Heads had a luxurious dinner for over four hours, all vying for connections for personal gain.


‘It was a mess. A big mess!’


It felt like seeing a miniature version of a certain country.
