At a glance from Amer, a woman standing among the knights stepped forward.

She is a woman that looks more foreign than anyone in this place.

She carried no weapon, let alone a sword or shield, and instead of her maid uniform or armor, she draped her entire body in a black robe. 

Also, a white mask covered her face except for her two eyes.

This is Leah, a cornerstone of the Five Greats of the Empire. She is one of the great Transcendentalists that the Empire is proud of. She is responsible for the security of the main building where you are staying and the area around including this palace.

Upon Amers introduction, Leah dispelled the incognito passive skill. 

She was a part of the Imperial Five Greats, the strongest military force in the Empire, and a gathering of transcendentalists each equivalent to an army.

Originally, they were directly subordinate to the emperor and only served under the imperial order, but Leah was temporarily placed by the third princess for the safety and surveillance of the summoned beings.

Leahs black pupils gazed upon the summoned, and then her passive stealth skill was activated again.

Amer then delivered the news that the summoned beings curfew would be lifted at the New Years ceremony, which were to be held in a few days, and imparted upon them information about when, where, and how the property test would be conducted.

This is the end of the message. Do you have any questions?

Park Min-ho hates this world.

Attributes, magic, swordsmanship, gods, and monsters.

Based on elements that do not exist on Earth, the human civilisation that has developed in a completely different way from Earth is very interesting the more one studies it.

All the otherworlders he has met so far have been kind to him.

So far, there has been little discomfort in all aspects of food, clothing and shelter.

But-

The Kairos Empire, which dominates the Western Continent, has a caste system.

The value of life differs according to the status of a person.

Slaves are treated as the property of their masters and are not treated as humans.

The only way for commoners and slaves to escape from their given status is to overcome the odds and somehow awaken their attributes.

Park Min-ho does not like this Empire.

The book  Introduction to Astronomy  he saw in the library the other day justified the caste system on the basis of attributes.

He understood it too, to some extent. He had already accepted the fact that the presence or absence of an attribute was absolute when it came to learning swordsmanship or magic.

However, he does not agree with the saying that strength determines human superiority.

But he also knows that human rights and democracy are ideas that had just been born based on the history of the Earth.

For most of human history, there had been a caste system.

However, he believes that the caste system is a wrong system and that the idea of human equality is absolute good and the absolute truth.

Park Min-ho learned about the inflection points and cataclysms of history in the common sense education class of this other world.

So he naturally inferred some things.

Maybe this cataclysm is the collapse of the caste system and the establishment of the idea of human equality?

Jihoon Choi likes this world.

He clearly remembers the moment when he was summoned.

The moment he pressed the capture button on his camera, white light encompassed all the walls and half of the class was transported to another world.

Before that, there was a time when, for unknown reasons, the cell phone flash went off and covered the entire classroom with a blinding light.

Here, Choi Ji-hoon paid attention to the fact that the source of the light was his mobile phone.

Everyone in the class came to another world because of the white light. 

Also, the white light came from his cell phone.

In other words, the center of the summoning to this other world was himself, Choi Ji-hoon!

Choi Ji-hoon was convinced that he was the protagonist of a great and noble narrative that would unfold in the future.

His classmates must have been swept away by his summons and came unintentionally.

The location where everyone was summoned was also spread around the sanctuary from where he was summoned!

I am sure about this! Im sure Ill awaken amazing attributes in the attribute test and become a harem king!

He envisioned defeating all enemies in the future, surrounded by exquisite beauties, and reigning as the ruler of the continent.

Minho, Jihoo, Im sorry in advance... Ill eat your girls too~.

Even in high school, Choi Ji-hoon was the type of person who would galavant with women.

Jeon Ji-hye and Seong Ah-yeong are owners of looks and bodies that are hard to find anywhere else.

However, they also lose all colour in front of Min Hye-rin.

I should take Hyerin and the princess as my wives, and Jihye and Ayeong as my concubines.

He was drinking kimchi soup [T/N: Fantasies] with the thought of eating the three girls in his class, as well as the princess he had seen for the first time today.

Ah~ I wish time could pass quickly. I want to undergo the attribute test.

Princess, thank you for your hard work. What hard work did I do? I just said this and that.

After returning the summoned beings to the main building, Princess Amer di Kairos and her Transcendental bodyguard Leah went to Amers office. 

There is little time left until the next thing on her schedule.

Amer remembered the four summoned being she saw today.

They didnt get to talk much, so she mostly remembered their looks.

Choi Ji-hoon is out. Jeong Ji-hoo is handsome, but hes not to my taste... Among the three, I like Park Min-ho the best. Lol.

Of course, if she included Min Hye-rin, she won the beauty contest by a landslide!

If Amer and Min Hye-rin both awaken an attributes, they will go to the academy together.

If that happens, I will definitely become friends with her!

What impression does Leah-sama have of the summoned?

Imagining going out with Park Min-ho, she asked her bodyguard with a happy smile as she also imagined a future where she became friends with Min Hye-rin.

After coming out of the shadows, Leahs expression remained unchanged.

Jeong Ji-Hoo. I was observing him. 

Eh? Do you like that persons face...? 

Its not because of his looks.

The eye is an organ that one can dig up the most information from about a persons unconscious.

It is often said that you can reach the soul of a person by looking into their eyes.

Jeong Jihoo, those eyes.

Leah recalls those motionless black pupils.

It was the eyes of a man who has killed a human.

His soul smelled of blood.

The smell of blood in his soul from the moment he experienced his first murder.

The smell was infinitely faint, but it couldnt fool her senses.
