Regression Manual for an Idol Who Lost Their Original Intentions Chapter 107

When we arrived at the stadium waiting room where the Sports University recording was taking place, white uniforms and name tags were laid out.

“I was hoping for purple…”

Kim Dobin picked up the training suit with a disappointed expression.

The white training jersey and pants set had a decent design at least.

“It’s better than pink.”

I replied halfheartedly and put the jersey over the short-sleeved shirt I was wearing. No matter how I thought about it, this outfit would have been unbearable without air conditioning.

After changing into uniforms and going out to the stadium, a friendly atmosphere was already unfolding.

Of course, Rev also had some idol groups they were acquainted with.

For example, KICKS wearing green training suits, or Altair wearing the purple uniforms Kim Dobin had wanted.

Only three members from Altair appeared, and among them, I saw two truly welcome faces.

Of course, that was sarcasm.

The KICKS guys naturally turned their bodies away as soon as they faced us.

They seemed to have judged it wiser not to show any confrontational behavior in a place where fans’ eyes and secretly hidden cameras were everywhere, even though filming was prohibited.

KICKS Parachute subtly raised his hand and waved to acknowledge us, making sure his members couldn’t see. I nodded back in response and let my gaze slide away.

My eyes met with Cha Yeonho, who was having a friendly conversation with another idol member he seemed to be close with.

As soon as I grinned and waved at him as usual, Cha Yeonho forced a smile and returned my greeting.

Kim Dobin, who knew about the recording’s existence, whispered in my ear.

“Hyung, you’re not using that recording as leverage to shake up Senior Cha Yeonho, are you?”

“Why would I do something so pointless and unproductive? Your imagination is really something else.”

I replied casually while checking the location of Rev’s fan section. The fan manager was leading the fans.

I subtly stood next to Ryu Jaehee, who was already waving at the fans, and waved my hand too.

The opening ceremony was held, and I watched the team representatives go up on the platform to take their oath while lightly yawning with my hands in my training jacket pockets. When would that opening ceremony end? I was dying of boredom.

[Insincere attitude in front of cameras detected.]

[Original Intentions -1]

“Hyung, hyung. Camera.”

As the pang of lost intentions hit me, Ryu Jaehee poked me from behind, making me flinch.

Even though before regression, I always had this stance except for the first time I participated. Was there really a reason to stand at attention even during the opening ceremony?

I straightened my posture and tried to look ahead with sincere eyes. At least that damn system only deducted points during schedules, so I endured it.

After the opening ceremony ended, the events began one by one. The basketball I was participating in was second to last.

“Hey, but for wrestling, shouldn’t they at least match the weight classes between players?”

“That’s what I’m saying. This makes us look like complete villains.”

I clicked my tongue while watching Gyeon Hajun standing on the wrestling ring, gripping his opponent’s belt.

The opponent’s build was even smaller than Ryu Jaehee’s. Just looking at the size difference, the match was already over.

The opponent had come out with great spirit, talking about technique over strength, but looked like he never imagined he’d face someone 182cm tall from the first round.

“Well, we’re grateful for the free pass to the finals.”

“It’s kind of a victory that hurts your pride? An unsatisfying victory? Something like that.”

Thanks to that, Gyeon Hajun easily threw his opponent and claimed the first victory.

And the next opponent was.

“Hey, Jun! Win! You have to win!”

“Hajun hyung! You absolutely have to win!”

The KICKS Leader.

I jumped up and shouted loudly. I wouldn’t watch that bastard advance to the finals even if dirt got in my eyes!

Kim Dobin was even kneeling reverently on his chair, praying.

Listening to his muttering, he was diversifying his investments among all the religious gods he knew.

Seo Yehyeon glanced at us, then smoothly got up from his chair to join the cheering.

Both Gyeon Hajun and the KICKS Leader didn’t show their discomfort with each other since they were in front of cameras, but their eyes looking at each other were sharp.

While Gyeon Hajun had very valid reasons, I wondered why that bastard was glaring like that.

And after a long exchange, the winner was…

“Ah, of course he had to win! We absolutely can’t lose against them!”

“Wow, as expected of Hajun hyung, that Conqueror’s Haki that comes out whenever he faces KICKS!”

“Hey, we shouldn’t mess with Hajun. What kind of technique was that, throwing with pure strength?”

“Then Eden hyung, who beat that Hajun hyung in arm wrestling, is really…”

Of course it was Gyeon Hajun.

I laughed excitedly while patting the back of Gyeon Hajun, who had advanced to the finals and proudly won the gold medal.

Seeing the dejected faces of the KICKS guys made it even more satisfying.

Seeing Kim Dobin keep glancing at the gold medal around his neck, Gyeon Hajun chuckled and put the medal around Kim Dobin’s neck.

Wearing that gold medal proudly around his neck, Kim Dobin left with Ryu Jaehee and Seo Yehyeon to compete in archery.

“Ah, who was good with a bow in anime? I feel like I could shoot well if I immerse myself in that character.”

“Inuyasha Gayoung.”

The youngest line’s conversation gradually became fainter. I sent some casual words of comfort to Seo Yehyeon, who should have been included in that conversation.

The archery set was quite far from our seats, so we couldn’t see it up close like the wrestling.

“Should we go watch too?”

At my question, Gyeon Hajun, who was sitting and resting, readily nodded.

We approached those who had settled down under the pretext of cheering and watching, and found an appropriate spot to sit.

I chuckled seeing the members sitting stiffly in the participant seats, looking tense.

Anyone could tell they were first-year rookies. Kim Dobin was even more noticeable sitting there with a gold medal around his neck.

[Archery Group A, Altair!]

Cha Yeonho in a light purple uniform walked forward with his members. Compared to the previous team, significantly louder cheers poured out.

I watched Cha Yeonho hold his bow in proper form and draw the string.

“Wow, did he eat and only shoot arrows?”

I clicked my tongue at the scores plastered with 10s, 9s, and 8s. It seemed unlikely we’d take the gold medal in archery. Even before regression, Cha Yeonho had set new archery records.

The other two members also got decent scores, and Altair smoothly passed the preliminaries.

[Archery Group B, Rev!]

“If nothing else, just beat KJ… Senior… nim’s score, pleeeease.”

I was grinding my teeth, hating to add honorifics after the name in case someone might hear, but really not wanting to.

Ugh, a bastard I don’t even want to call senior.

As I was praying desperately, Gyeon Hajun looked at me with a surprised expression and asked.

“Not Senior Cha Yeonho’s score?”

“That’s a bit too much of an insurmountable wall.”

I decided to abandon my greed since I knew our members’ level well. It wasn’t like this was our first or second time at Sports University.

Seo Yehyeon gripped his bow with a serious face and drew the bowstring in a straight posture. At least visually, it was a victory over Altair.

“Wow, he’s handsome.”

Even among the group of idols gathered from the cream of the crop, exclamations burst out at the sight of Seo Yehyeon’s face.

Well, he is handsome. I’ve been managing him diligently and developing his skills, so now I can’t even say to take him away.

When he carefully released the drawn string, the arrow flew toward the target at high speed. And it stuck precisely in the center of the target.

[X-10! An X-10 has appeared!]

When that X-10 happened three times, I unconsciously jumped up from my seat.

“Wow, is he crazy? Is he really crazy?”

Gyeon Hajun was also so surprised by this result that he couldn’t even think to stop me and just sat there blinking.

The rest of the scores were all 9 points. Seo Yehyeon’s form is insane today, isn’t it?

Of course, that didn’t mean he was talented at archery. He just got lucky today.

If Seo Yehyeon had talent in archery, he should have maintained that form consistently at Sports University before regression too.

“At this rate, we might actually win?”

We’d become a meteoric rookie group that beat Altair to claim victory, my beloved members.

Our dreams of victory that had swelled up like that were….

“Are you insane? That bastard made fun of me so much for getting 1 point, and now he shoots a 0?”

It ended thanks to Kim Dobin shooting an arrow into the 0-point zone. A homophone of what I just said slipped out of my mouth.

If it was a word of admiration for Seo Yehyeon, then for Kim Dobin it was the most sanitized version of profanity I could manage in a situation where I couldn’t actually swear.

If he had shot 10 points or 9 points after that, maybe. But shooting 3 points, 2 points like this – how could my insides not explode?

I would have gotten at least 1 point if I had gone out instead. I only resolved never to send Kim Dobin to an archery competition again.

Then what does he do? He’s too slow at running for relay races, can’t shoot arrows so can’t do archery. Should I just make him cheer? Is he Reve’s mascot?

I couldn’t say Ryu Jaehee did well, but he did okay. He consistently scored within the 6-8 point range.

Thanks to Kim Dobin’s massive trolling, even though Seo Yehyeon performed so well by shooting X-10 three times, Reve was eliminated in the preliminaries.

Ryu Jaehee, who had been venting his anger by roughly grabbing Kim Dobin’s training clothes, said seriously.

“Hyung, if Inuyasha Gayoung shot arrows like you, she would have been brutally killed by demons already.”

I spoke to Kim Dobin, who kept glancing at me nervously, in the warmest and most gentle voice possible.

“Consider yourself lucky that KICKS also got eliminated in the preliminaries, Doby.”

After finishing the archery competition, lunchtime finally approached.

Sandwich lunchboxes had gone out as a reverse gift for breakfast, and the lunch reverse gift lunchboxes were scheduled to go out starting now.

Even before regression, Ryu Jaehee used to collect money saying we had to do reverse gifts.

I remembered the youngest member trying to get away with just one rice burger without even drinks as a reverse gift from the agency.

After that, he diligently prepared reverse gifts by adding our own money too.

Thanks to that, our Reve was a group that fans could be quite proud of for reverse gifts before regression – or so I heard from Ryu Jaehee.

[Reve’s once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sweep all medals]

As we approached the front of the fan section, the large banner with cheering messages for us and Reve’s group photo stood out even more.

When we waved at the shouts calling out the members’ names and cheering for Reve, the cheers grew even louder.

Unlike me, whose maximum was just waving hands, Ryu Jaehee was busy doing fan service with Kim Dobin, showing off the three types of aegyo.

“If this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, does that mean we can’t sweep medals at next year’s Sports University?”

When I read the banner’s message and asked about my curiosity, a booming answer came back.

“Eden, don’t think too deeply about it!”

“It’s okay! The banner text will change again then!”

I see. I interpreted it too seriously again.
