REINCARNATED IN "THE NOVEL´S EXTRA-REMAKE"

Chapter 21: THE WORLD WATCHING CUBE



Guild of the Creator's Sacred Grace

The capital of Korea, Seoul, was filled with guilds vying for the top position in the world. Distinguished guilds such as 'Essence of the Strait', 'Desolate Moon', and 'Sanctuary of Freezing' were located in the guild district collectively established in Seoul, making it the center for requests to subjugate Djinn and monsters, technological advancements, and business.

"The guild visit is scheduled for Friday, two weeks from now."

The guild district of Seoul was full of skyscrapers. But one particularly bright building was not so tall. The geometric design of this building caught the attention of any passerby. It was the building belonging to the guild 'Creator's Sacred Grace'.

With cutting-edge magical engineering technology, the interior of the building was twice as large as it appeared from the outside, while its mana density was always maintained above level 3.

"Hmm, understood."

In this environment ideal even for Heroes, the vice-leader Yun Seung-Ah received the report from her secretary.

Currently, Yun Seung-Ah's attention was focused exclusively on finding "promising talents".

It was a widely recognized fact that this year's Cube freshmen were exceptional.

It was said that some had Gifts that could alter the rankings of the guilds. If she let her competitors steal them, the first position she had worked so hard to achieve would be at risk.

Consequently, Yun Seung-Ah's eyes were glued to the guild's intranet database, which contained videos of Cube's first combat training.

"Kim Suho is really something."

At the moment, on her screen was the top-ranked in combat training, Kim Suho.

Fighting against a monster, his sword aura rose sharply. But his sword aura was not the only impressive scene. The fluid movements of his sword made it seem like his sword was water. His swordsmanship did not resemble anyone else's, almost like a formless sword technique. With this technique, he seemed to tear through space along with his target monster.

"Yes, he also doesn't seem close to any guild. He is our top priority."

"I want to secure him no matter what... Ah? A team with two cadets?"

The video of Kim Suho ended, and Yun Seung-Ah's eyes examining the remaining list shone with curiosity.

"Yes, there was a lot of commotion in the guild's community after the video of cadet Theo Sagan was released..."

"Was it there? Sorry, I've been very busy lately."

"It was uploaded from the Cube community. He was part of a team that only had him and one other member and still managed to take first place. According to insider information, he is a cadet who could use not only magic but also a sword."

"Hmm... that's a surprise."

Curious about this famous individual, Yun Seung-Ah played the video.

[Team 10]

[Theo Sagan/Hazuki]

After the entire video was played, the office was in absolute silence. Which was only broken by Yun Seung-Ah's assistant, hitting the table.

"What? What was that? His magic, what was that? And that way of using a sword, as a cadet, is capable of killing four gray wolves without any reinforcement on his weapon?"

Without realizing it, the vice-leader of the Creator's Sacred Grace had already replayed the video five times in a row.

Her eyes were in a trance, her heart was pounding, and her mind was stunned.

Yun Seung-Ah couldn't take her eyes off the video. Theo Sagan was different. His sword movements were precise, but not only that, there was a naturalness, a fluidity, as if each strike was nothing more than a child's exercise. He seemed more experienced than any other cadet, and even without magical reinforcement on his weapon, he defeated the gray wolves as if it were simple.

If Kim Suho's swordsmanship was like a dance, then Theo Sagan's swordsmanship was like the majesty of the world.

"How is he doing that?"

She thought, watching for the sixth time.

"He doesn't even seem to be trying."

What caught the most attention was the magic. It was not like any magic she had ever seen before. It was strange, almost surreal.

"This magic... Where does it come from? How does it work?"

She felt a chill in her stomach. It was not common for her to feel this way, but Theo Sagan awakened something in her, a mix of curiosity and urgency. He was a wild card, someone impossible to ignore.

"If he is like this now, what will he be like when he matures? If another guild gets him before us..."

Theo was much more than a promising talent. He was a threat, an opportunity, perhaps even a revolution in the world of Heroes. And Yun Seung-Ah knew she couldn't let this chance slip away.

"He needs to be ours."

"Ahem!"

The slight cough of the secretary, who had until then patiently listened to her reflections, interrupted the silence.

"Spit it out!"

"I regret to inform you, but there is a small problem with your desire, Miss Seung-Ah. Cadet Theo Sagan is someone with foreign origins."

Yun Seung-Ah felt a chill down her spine. It was too good to be true, after all. With an incredulous look, she pulled his registration form and began to carefully analyze the information.

"American?! Someone with a Gift of that caliber, no country would let go..."

"This is due to heritage and Gift... Cadet Theo previously leaned towards the physical side, with no glimpse of magic. Therefore, I believe he had an enlightenment."

"Oh! Enlightenment you say..."

Enlightenment at only 17 years old... Leaning back, Yun Seung-Ah fell into deep contemplation.

Leaving the physical world and entering the magical one after enlightenment.

Although rare, it has happened before.

Gifts gave abilities to cadets, but before enlightenment, it was impossible to know exactly what someone's Gift was.

"There is more information about him... He is an orphan boy."

As the secretary spoke with a tone of slight regret.

The vice-leader listened to everything in silence.

"No prestigious family or relevant connections. His parents died in a plane crash when he was only 11 years old. After that, he was taken to an orphanage. Later, he joined the United States Military Academy and, at 17, tried to enter the US Hero Training Center. His application was rejected. In the same year, he came to Korea. And, after going through a series of exhaustive tests, including theoretical and practical exams, he managed to reach the 10th place in the overall ranking, even with a predominantly physical Gift."

Hearing every word from her secretary, Yun Seung-Ah sighed slightly, she leaned back supporting her back even more on the chair, and after a few good seconds, her voice came out.

"Put a recruiter to keep an eye on him..."

"But ma'am, there are many exceptional cadets this year, the vast majority are already packed with things."

"It doesn't matter, use someone to keep an eye on him. If necessary, hire another. This boy, he is as amazing as Suho, we can't falter, even if the whole world tries to take him."

She knew that someone like Theo had certainly already caught the attention of all the major guilds in the world, not only that, she also had 90% certainty that the United States would not remain silent. But it's that, it's better to try than to do nothing... Just in case...

...

In another space, more precisely within one of the many dormitories at Cube, Yoo Yeonha had just finished analyzing the videos of many potential cadets. However, even after reviewing nearly fifty videos, the ones that still surprised her were undoubtedly three.

"Kim Suho"

"Kim Hajin"

And

"Theo Sagan"

All three of these cadets were quite distinct if viewed from a normal perspective, but she, Yeonha, knew that these cadets were more than special.

"Especially these two..."

Hajin, the cadet who fired almost 60 shots in less than 3 seconds.

And Theo Sagan, the cadet who apparently had a physical-type Gift, was now out there with a Gift oriented towards magic...

She didn't pay much attention to Suho, as she had known him since the Military Academy.

But the other two were different. Theo Sagan was a cadet from another country, with almost no information about him...

Kim Hajin was an enigma. Even though he had attended the same Military Academy as her, Yeonha had no recollection of seeing him there.

Both were more than strange to her...

"...But that doesn't change the fact that they are great targets to accompany me when I inherit the Guild."

The main reason Yeonha spent her time analyzing videos of other cadets was this. Yeonha was filtering the best options before making her move; she was selecting the best seedlings to then nurture...

"Ding!"

Her eyes moved away from the forms and went to her arm...

[Message from Shin Jonghak]

Her expression changed drastically as soon as she saw that notification. It was as if the world was singing a beautiful melody to her at that moment...

_How are you?
