When Chi-Woo returned to the tower, the drafting event was already over. Since Eval Sevaru hadn’t contacted him, he had thought that they might still be in the middle of negotiations, but his hopes were crushed. Chi-Woo left a message to Eval Sevaru, asking him to contact him as soon as he saw this message and began moving with Aida on his arm. After returning to Seven Stars’ zone, Chi-Woo was hit with a stark feeling of unfamiliarity because of how much the zone had changed. It felt strange every time he saw it.

Magnificent and sophisticated buildings had replaced the wooden houses, which used to paint an antique and quaint picture. There were a total of eight buildings in the area. Seven were placed neatly around the main hall in the form of a heptagon. But what Chi-Woo liked the most was the outer wall surrounding all the buildings. With the central main hall as its base, the walls met at a vertex and connected the edges of each of the buildings in a triangular shape. From the top, it looked like a star with a pentagon in the middle. Frankly, it also looked like a maple leaf, but Chi-Woo liked it.

Although it wasn’t anything fancy, the structure highlighted precision and neatness with an emphasis on proportionality. Above all, Chi-Woo was satisfied because it seemed to capture the meaning of Seven Stars well. Chi-Woo led Aida to the main hall through a stone sidewalk along the axis. Except for Eval Sevaru, all the members of Seven Stars had already returned and had been waiting patiently on the first floor. When they saw Aida following Chi-Woo, they flocked around her like old-timers around a newbie. In particular, Ru Hiana and Evelyn moved Aida’s hand away from Chi-Woo at the same time and welcomed her brightly with a handshake.
