Eight hours earlier.
Alan and Jae Ho meet in one of the ISA's assets buildings. It doesn't look like a managed building. There is only one minimarket downstairs. Jae ho sees the minimarket strangely. Then Alan told him to enter the elevator. The elevator doesn't have any buttons and it makes Jae Ho a little nervous.
"Take it easy," says Alan.
Alan tapped his finger a few times and the elevator started moving. Jae Ho realizes that the knock is morse code.
"Isn't that too simple for a secret code?" asked Jae Ho.
"Sooner or later you'll know," Alan said while putting his hand in his pants pocket.
The elevator gets to the top floor. Alan and Jae Ho enter the white room shortly after the elevator opens. It was around that time all the walls turned into a gathering of high-ranking ISA officials. Alan tells Jae Ho to greet them because it's the first time Jae Ho has experienced that.
Jae Ho does assist in recruiting prospective students from ISA, but he is one of the "12 Prodigy", the title of the 12 best and most talented students in the ISA.
Jae Ho sees how the room changed. The walls and even the footings are like flipping and turning into a completely different place than before.
Jae Ho realizes that it's like an LED panel but this is a smoother thing than that. Unlike regular panel LEDs.
It's just like the technology he used to see in the ISA, but here is somewhere else, as if this can't be done in the ISA. He felt something was wrong.
If you have to have a meeting with ISA officials, why not do it directly at the academy? Why should they go far, wear it close to the prospective students, and did these complicated things?
They get a special order about the recruitment of a girl named, Kreisleriana. Jae Ho learns that he is called to accompany Alan, but he does not know the purpose and who the new student is.
The ISA does not have a student enrolment system, but the school itself is coming to recruit new students. Alan is one of the recruiters in the ISA. One of the dozens of recruiters, Alan has a special case where most are recruiting 7 out of the 12 prodigies. Therefore studying in the ISA using a connection is something that cannot be done. Because the selection of prospective students is determined by a secret system of ISA that can detect human talents. The system or technology is called "Zeus". Yes, just like the ancient Greek god anyone knows.
Before they come out of the room. There is an item that ISA officials want Alan to wore while recruiting and it left Jae Ho with a conclusion where any activity they had outside the academy is monitored by them.
At Krei's house right now,
Jae ho has been thinking about the reason for the recruitment since he came face to face with ISA officials, that there is something unusual about Kreisleriana's recruitment process. Why does it have to be Alan and why he should take Jae Ho.
Jae Ho begins to notice when Alan responded to Krei's guess. Jae Ho initially thinks that Kei is bluffing, but that's not possible. Jae Ho observes Krei closely. With such a confident expression, Krei wouldn't have bluffed. Krei laughed a little and opened the door to show their way to get out of her house.
Jae Ho started to think that she had the information from the PSP she was holding. It is possible since Jae Ho is also a technology expert.
Alan didn't answer and so does Jae ho. Jae Ho realizes why Alan needs him and what he had to do. It's not just casual recruitment. He recalled that he had never heard of any recruiters failing in their jobs. This means "recruitment" is just a pun. The truth is to "drag" new students who have extraordinary talents who are still raw in controlling their abilities, such as this woman.
Krei suddenly felt strange. Her brain nerves throbbing unnaturally and she can't think clearly. Krei's instincts worked and she suspects Alan. But she was wrong. This is Jae Ho's doing.
