To be able to become a member of the 12 Earthly Branches, all of them had outstanding abilities. After all, they were all selected by President Nitro.
At this time, the conference room was filled with an oppressive aura. The bean-faced man was forced into a corner, and the sweat on his forehead became denser.
He looked at the unfriendly members of the 12 Earthly Branches and prayed helplessly in his heart, President, please come quickly!
The young man in the center of the aura was unmoved. It was as if he couldn't feel the aura emitted by these powerful people. Or rather, this aura that was enough to make ordinary telekinesis users kneel on the ground didn't affect him at all.
"I'm not late. It's the clock that's slow."
In response to Mi Joston's comment that he was five seconds late, the young man pointed at the clock in the conference room and said with certainty.
As he spoke, under everyone's gaze, he strode to the wall where the clock was hung. He raised his hand and lightly knocked on the wall, and the clock fell.
The young man caught the clock with his bare hands and looked at it. He said seriously, "It's five seconds faster. No wonder you said I was five seconds late."
"…"
Hearing this, the telekinesis aura emitted from everyone's body became sharper. They felt that this person's calmness formed a strong contrast with the atmosphere in the room, and it made them feel quite uncomfortable.
The young man was still unmoved. He adjusted the second hand by five seconds and then casually threw the clock toward the wall. The groove on the back of the clock accurately caught the nail on the wall, and it hung there firmly.
"I've adjusted it for you."
After hanging the clock back, the young man looked at everyone in the room and said with a light smile.
The aura that slammed into him like a wave was almost solid, but he was as still as a mountain and wasn't affected at all. Just this tenacious will alone was praiseworthy.
The members of the 12 Earthly Branches all stared at the young man. No one said a word, and the conference room fell into a tense and tense atmosphere.
Of course, even if President Nitro wasn't present, they definitely wouldn't attack in the conference room. But in reality, if President Nitro was present, he would probably fan the flames and make the members of the 12 Earthly Branches beat up the young man.
No matter the result, President Nitro would find a suitable reason for this interesting event. For example, the so-called combat strength test.
"Jin Brix?" Porter Bai, who had the most experience, was the first to restrain his aura as he spoke in a deep voice.
The young man called Kim Fulix immediately looked at him and nodded.
This man was the father of the protagonist of the original novel. In the future, he would become one of the five strongest telekinesis users in the world.
Seeing Potter Bai retract his aura, the others hesitated for a moment before retracting their auras as well.
First of all, the way Kim appeared and acted as if he was at home made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, they came to an agreement at that moment. Almost at the same time, they released a strong aura filled with emotions to suppress Jin. However, Jin was not affected at all. His strength was evident.
Seeing that the tense atmosphere began to ease, the bean-faced man who had been leaning against the wall at some point breathed a sigh of relief. He hurried over and said, "Gold, you're finally here."
"Bean, long time no see." A hint of a smile flashed through his golden amber eyes.
The bean-faced man sighed and pointed at an empty seat. "Your seat is here."
Jin glanced at the seat between Mi Leisurely and a woman with long green hair. He nodded slightly and walked over.
"The review is still in progress. Before the results are out, you are temporarily not a member of the Twelve Earthly Branches." The blonde man in the suit who had been smiling all this time reminded him.
Paristone, a member of the Twelve Earthly Branches, was very active in the Hunters' Association. He was good at gathering opinions and was very good at handling all kinds of affairs. In the future, he would be the vice president of the Hunters' Association.
He always wore a full suit and always had a gentle smile on his face. It was rare to see the smile on his face disappear.
At this moment, he smiled at Jin and brought up the main point.
The other members of the Twelve Earthly Branches immediately shifted their gazes to Paristone and frowned.
Jin also looked at him with a calm expression.
"Did I say something wrong?" Meeting everyone's gaze, Paristone smiled.
The room was silent. The bean-faced man looked at the smiling Paristone and then at the calm Jin. He shouted again in his heart, "President, come quickly!"
Paristone's meaning was clear. Before the review was over, Jin could not be confirmed as a new member of the Twelve Earthly Branches. Therefore, this seat was not for Jin now.
In fact, President Nitro was the one who made the decision. When Jin walked into the meeting room, it was already set in stone that he would become a member of the Twelve Earthly Branches.
Everyone present knew this, but Paristone seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for him to have some fun.
"Super troublesome …"
Jin scratched the back of his head and sat cross-legged on the floor. "Then I will sit here before the president comes."
He understood what Paristone meant, but he did not care at all.
"I can get you a stool." Perriston looked at Kim, who had been calm all this time.
Jin laughed heartily. "No need. I am used to sitting on the floor."
"Okay." Paristone nodded slowly. From the beginning to the end, the expression in his eyes and the smile on his face had not changed at all. He was like a person in an oil painting.
This seemed to be a show of strength by the old members against the new members, but Paristone's words were very proper, and his tone and attitude were very gentle. No one could tell that he was making things difficult for Jin.
The bean-faced man looked at this scene and sighed heavily.
The other members looked at Jin and Paristone. For some reason, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
This new member seemed to have a sense of invulnerability. It seemed a bit inappropriate to describe him as thick-skinned. That was why he used the term 'invulnerability' to describe him as a wide-ranging adjective.
They all hated Paristone. Whether it was his smile or his thin needle in a silk cloth, they did not like him. And Paristone's thin needle in a silk cloth seemed to have met its match.
10: 20. This was the time that the corrected clock in the meeting room pointed to. In other words, President Nitro was 20 minutes late.
"Bean, how long will it take for the president to arrive?"
Jin, who was sitting on the floor, took an apple out of nowhere and asked as he chewed on it.
The bean-faced man smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I am not sure either."
"Oh." Jin nodded to show that he understood.
Seeing Jin eat the apple as if there was no one else around, the members of the 12 Earthly Branch turned their attention to Jin again.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Jin said awkwardly, "Do you want to eat too? But I only have one. It is not enough to share. "
Paristone looked at him with a smile, while the others had several crossroads on their foreheads.
Sometime in the future, snacks, afternoon tea, snack boxes, and even game consoles and laptops would appear on the meeting table when the 12 Earthly Branches met. It was not the serious atmosphere of a meeting at all. Instead, it was more like an afternoon tea party.
President Nitro was often late, and these things he brought were useful to kill time. But now, the meeting table was empty because the members of the 12 Earthly Branch had not developed this bad habit.
At this moment, Jin, who had not officially become a member of the 12 Earthly Branch, took out an apple to eat while waiting for President Nitro to arrive.
