My eyes twitched open , as a loud ringing noise reverberated around me.
As the light of day finally came through to my eyes , I had remembered what had happened earlier.
Memories of that status window , and those messages , telling me of skill imports , rushed back into my brain , as I looked around the room. It was a spacious area , one , that in my previous life , was unthinkable for me to own , even with my title os one of the 10 strongest in the world.
Suddenly , a voice , presumably that of a female , called out to me outside.
"Young master!" The voice shouted "Hurry up , the entrance ceremony is in an hour!". Entrance….ceremony? Did I regress back in time or something?
Just then , I recalled seeing a status window , reminiscent of the ones awakened had in my previous life. Maybe I could use that Sage skill it imported to know more about this world? But first , I had to stall for time.
"Hold on , give me a few minutes !" I shouted back to the woman outside the room. Once she agreed to give me exactly 5 minutes finish whatever that I was doing , I started thinking about the status window. Just then , a blue pop-up appeared in front of my face.
[Status Window booted]
———————————————————
Name : Na Jinwook
Age : 15
Title : None
Skillset : Absolute Force Manipulation (SS)
Attribute : Sage (SS)
Vessel : None
All of these categories were eerily similar to the ones in my previous life , especially my name. As the system showed me my face , I was relieved to see that , not only was I not ugly , but quite handsome as well. To find out who exactly was my new persona , I decided to use the Sage attribute.
"Activate Sage attribute" I chanted in my brain , hoping it would work. To my surprise , it actually did work.
[Sage attribute activated - what would you like to know?]
In a hushed tone , I whispered "Who am I , where am I , and what is the date."
Another message then came up before me.
[You are Na Jinwook , son of a low-class noble family , with ties to the patriarch , who is also the headmaster of The Pyramid , an academy for the awakened you are going to attend. Remaining info will be imported into your brain after you have finished reading this message . You are currently in Seoul , year 2231]
I incredibly was shocked by what I found out. Wasn't Pyramid the academy that prestigious academy for awakened nobles that was being built before the endgame? How did my family have ties with the patriarch, of all people?
The woman outside abruptly opened the door shouting "It's been 15 minutes , young master ! You have to hurry up or you'll miss your train!"
As soon as she came in , I pretended to be in a trance , staring at the door. But even I couldn't help thinking about how beautiful the woman , who was a maid , looked.
She had light blue eyes , with a near perfect figure and blonde hair , causing her to look extremely young and pretty. With those looks , I thought , she could unwillingly charm any man who looked at her. A nametag hanging from a chain around her neck read : Tania Vermilla
As she crept closer to me , Tania whispered in my ears in a seductive tone .
"Young master~ you can't fool me with such an amateur trick."
And unluckily for me , I wasn't trained against women in my previous life.
As soon as my cheeks went red , the Tania immediatly stopped her womanly affections , and practically dragged me out of the comforts of my bed.
"Young master , please get dressed. The uniform is placed in that box in the corner. While you do so, I will finish preparing breakfast." She reminded me as Tania rushed out of the room , after hearing crackling noises from the kitchen.
Deciding to check out Pyramid's uniform , I opened the cardboard box with the scissors Tania left me. Inside were a pair of white blazers , alongside pants and an ID Card with my name on it. I quickly put them on and rushed downstairs , and was met with table full of food , with steak vegetables on fruits alike.
"She's underestimating my eating skills!" I angrily thought as I saw the Tania's carefully hidden smirk slightly show on her face. Taking off my blazers , I began eating the food at a blistering speed , shocking even Tania .
What she didn't know was , that during the 15 minutes I spent in my room , I familarized myself with using the "Magnetism" skills to crush a few birds that were on top of the roof. Currently , I was using that same skill to crush the foods my mouth without even having to chew that much , resulting in the table being cleared in less than 10 minutes , which was just in time for Tania do my hair and rush to the train station , barely making it in time to get on the train for Pyramid Cadets.
40 Minutes Later - Pyramid training facility's Assembly Hall , Seoul
—————————————————————————————
I looked in awe at the sight before me. Many statues made of marble and a glowing core stone , an mythical artifact that provides a S-grade barrier around a selected area , placed on in a glass cage behind a speaking podium. Suddenly , the hall fell silent , as a old , well built silver-haired man stepped onto the podium . The moment he did so, hushed whispers of "It's him! The patriarch!" Traveled through the stadium.
As I took a closer look at his face , I was momentarily frozen. The only thing that went through to my mind was 3 words:
"That's the patriarch?"
