Even though Twilight is in slumber like his other members due to her trying to keep his pocket worlds save, as its true owner, Primis have ways to access its Guild feature without any issue.

At this time, in other worlds, the four people who were chosen also had their system activated.

Reinhard van Astrea who was listening to Felt shout with wry smile widened his eyes at this and excusing himself before returning to his room.

Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg was having meeting with some members of Clock Tower. Seeing this he told them to leave for know and focused on the screen.

Haruka Ouma was relaxing on the sofa while taking the sip of her beer. When the screen lit up, she abruptly sat up and correctly her posture while ignoring the beer can that fell from her hand.

Sumire Muroto who was mostly free in her laboratory ever since the threat of the Gastrea was over, also put down her equipment while gazing attentively at the window.

They all had the same thoughts.

'All Four: It's time.'

A few seconds later, some notifications appeared on their screen

[DING!]

[Guild System has been activated!]

[DING!]

[DING!]

[DING!]

[DING!]

["Sword Saint" has joined the Guild!]

["Kaleidoscope" has joined the Guild!]

["Researcher of Sephirah Genomics" has joined the Guid!]

["Sage of "New Human Creation Plan"" has joined the Guild!]

As they all were looking at it, a new notification appeared.

["Guild Master: ???" has invited you all to the Guild Castle]

[Accept: Yes/No]

[***Note: Time ratio in your world and Guild will go by 1:2. Where one day in your world will be two days in Guild. This conversion maybe changed in future.]

After reading this, they all become silent and started pondering about it for a few moments before finally clicking "Yes".

A light then engulfed them and then they all disappeared from their worlds.

---Unknow---

Opening their eyes, they found themselves in a mountain area.

However, they didn't care about it since their eyes were currently on the huge castle in front of them.

The castle was so big and it seemed to have merged with the mountain it was on.

What made it more majestic was the tip of that was penetrating and made the hole in the sky. And from that hole, light was coming and engulfing the castle.

Pic: Guild Castle

Zelretch: Um. As expected from Guild Master. The castle me made should definitely be something like this.

This snapped others out of their thoughts as they turned and looked at this old man.

Noticing their gaze, Zelretch turned to them showed a grandpa like smile.

Zelretch: Hello, youngsters. I am "Kaleidoscope". My name is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg. I am a Mage. It's pleasure to meet you all.

Seeing this other also introduced themselves one-by-one.

Reinard: I am "Sword Saint". My name is Reinhard van Astrea. I am also Guild Master's Knight.

Hearing Reinard mentioned himself as Primis knight, Zelretch squinted his eyes as he rose Reinhard position in his heart even higher.

Haruka: I am "Researcher of Sephirah Genomics". My name is Ouma Haruka. I research on genes regarding human evolution.

Sumire: I am "Sage of "New Human Creation Plan"". My name is Sumire Muroto. I am doctor and also study human biology.

At this time, both Haruka and Sumire looked at each other. It was as if they knew they were going to become best friends in future since their goal somehow aligned with each other.

Zelretch: Hmmm… Human evolution and Human biology. You both must be quite talented in the fields that's why Guild Master chose you two, despite of you both being normal humans.

Haruka: Normal Human? Wait a minute. Didn't Sir just say he is a Mage? Does this mean Sir can you use Magic?

Zelretch: I can. Though its somewhat different. Instead of Magic, it would be more precise to say Magecraft.

Reinard, Haruka, Sumire: Magecraft?

Zelretch: Yes. Magecraft is the artificial reenactment of Mystery, which is ordinarily possible only by inhuman beings.

Seeing their dumfounded expression, the old man explained in more simpler words.

Zelretch: Magecraft is the ability to bring about what is possible through science with supernatural means. Although the process is considered a miracle, the result is not. The limits of Magecraft have changed with time, as science evolved and Magic from the past became possible through science.

Giving them a time to digest his words, Zelretch continued.

Zelretch: There exists no impossibility for modern Magecraft within the rules of the world and limits of human intellect. There are limitations, however, where it only appears that something is possible. Because Magecraft acts as the reenactment of preexisting phenomena, it is impossible to use it to create new Mysteries. Even with an infinite amount of research, there exists a "wall" preventing human wisdom from doing so. The realm past this "wall" is known as Magic.

Even if Reinhard still didn't understand much, Haruka and Sumire whose focus mostly on the science understood somewhat.

Sumire: Using Magic by the means of science. Interesting. I would really like to study about it.

Haruka: It may help the human genes to break through their genetic limits and entered the new path.

While they were muttering among themselves, Zelretch just smiled. Using Magecraft was not as easy as it appeared. Otherwise, there would be many mages back in his world.

Zelretch: By the way, you can just call me Old man Zelretch. Since we are chosen by the Guild Master himself, we shouldn't be formal with each other. After all, we are the fellow members from now on.

Hearing this, others also nodded and relaxed somewhat. They then also agreed to call themselves by their name. Still, there was Reinhard who not used to such stuff and decided to add Miss at Haruka and Sumire name.

Both women didn't force him because they can tell that Reinard of still younger than them. And can call them however he liked.

Zelretch: Speaking of Magic, it seems your world has that.

He said while looking at Reinhard who nodded and explained.

Reinhard: Yes. Magic in our world is paranormal power that alters mana passing through a being's gate into a form that has an effect on reality. Oh, by the way, Gate is an invisible portal-like apparatus that exists in every living thing. It allows mana to pass through the body and be stored in the Od.

Sumire: Od?

Reinhard: Well, it's a little complicated and long topic so I will explain more later.

Sumire: Ok.

Reinhard: Thank you. So, Magic is made up of six elements. Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Shadow and Light. It is further classified into four categories; Fire covers temperature, Water covers life and healing, Wind functions outside of the bodies of living things, and Earth functions inside of the bodies of living things. As Shadow Magic is used mostly for debuffs and Light magic is used for buffs.

Haruka: In other words, Fire magic can be used to use both fire and ice moves.

Reinhard: Yes. After all, Fire covers temperature.

Haruka: Amazing.

Zelretch: There should be another power too, isn't it? Because I can see different form of energy compared to magic on you.

The sword saint was surprised at it and replied.

Reinard: You're right, Old man Zelretch. That's Divine Protection. It is power given to people at birth by the world. Some races have a Divine Protection that is always received by members of that race. Most people are born without any Divine Protection, and those who are born with it know of their own Divine Protection without being told. The ratio of Divine Protection holders is 1:100 for useless ones, 1:1,000 for useful ones, 1:10,000 for somewhat rare ones, 1:100,000 for really useful ones, 1:1,000,000 for unique ones, 1:10,000,000 for more than one, and the existence of those with more than one Divine Protection are considered to be strange. It's also worth noting that two Divine Protections that work against each other will cancel each other out.

Zelretch: You mean if a person has Divine Protection of Projectile Evasion and another person has a made-up Divine Protection of Always-Hitting-Your-Shots, they will be cancelled out.

Reinhard: Exactly.

Zelretch: Hmmm....

The old man gaze intensely at Reinhard hearing this.

Sumire: In more simpler words, the people with Divine Protection can be considered as someone loved by the world and hence it bestowed its blessing to them.

Reinhard: It's one way to pronounce it.

Haruka: Wow. You are really something Reinhard.

The red-haired scratching his head in embarrassment hearing this. Reinhard had heard people praising him many times in his world. But he can tell that Sumire and Haruka were more genuine and sincere compared to them.

Zelretch: Then you must be the strongest person in your world, Reinhard. To be able to have so many blessings.

Reinhard: Huh? Old man Zelretch, you can see what blessings are given to me.

Zelretch: Yes.

.

.

Other Blessings: Due to Reinhard's nature of obtaining any Blessing, he can wish for these Blessings for even more power.

.

.

.

Reinhard was shocked as Zelretch one-by-one spoke every one of his Divine protections.

One should know that other might knew he had many blessings but they didn't know much. However, here Zelretch casually saw through explained every single one of them without any issue.

While this was happening, Haruka and Sumire at the side had long gone numb. They were looking at Reinhard with blank eyes while thinking.

'Haruka & Sumire: What kind of broken cheat character he is!!!?'
