Prestige Grinding : I Can Reset My Level-Chapter 185 - 182 : Tower of Gods?

A few minutes later.

As the room buzzed with activity, leaders and representatives swarmed around Sora, fighting for his attention. Questions, proposals, and invitations filled the air as they tried to recruit him or gain his favor.

Kim Dong hovered protectively at Sora's side. With the vigilance of a mother hen guarding its egg, he kept a wary eye on anyone who wanted to recruit his guild member. "Morgan! Watch your mouth. Ralph isn't joining your stinky guild," Kim said, trying to stop the American player from poaching Sora in front of him.

Meanwhile, Kara, sensing that Sora had more than enough company, quietly slipped away from the crowd. Her gaze landed on a familiar figure standing apart from the chaos: Sin Soo-Yun.

She approached. "Sin Soo-Yun," she began. "Can we talk?"

The information broker turned their masked face toward her, then glanced at the crowd around them. "Shall we find a quieter spot?"

Kara nodded and followed Sin Soo-Yun into an empty meeting room.

Once the door closed behind them, Sin Soo-Yun asked, "How can I help you?"

"I want to build something… something to help players understand the world and its new rules. A school."

Sin Soo-Yun tilted their head, intrigued. "A school? Like the ones guilds use to train recruits?"

"Yes," Kara replied. "But also more than that. I want it to be a place where people grow—not just in strength, but as decent human beings. I want to raise strong players who stay kind and generous."

Sin Soo-Yun paused before asking, "What's your endgame here? Are you building a faction of your own?"

Kara rolled her eyes. "Does everything need to be about power? Can't I just want to help people and humanity?"

The broker chuckled softly behind the mask. "Fair enough. So what do you need from me?"

Kara scratched her ear, thinking. "Everything. A location, builders, my first students. I need to know where I can find people who need help—or who'd benefit most from a place like that."

Sin Soo-Yun paused before answering. "You'll need a large plot of land with varied terrain—unless you're planning to create everything with magic. I can connect you with land managers in France or elsewhere. For construction, you'll need job-type players: masons, carpenters, gardeners, farmers. With your level and resources, I assume you want the best."

Kara nodded.

"You'll also need enchantments for safety and mana optimization—so enchanters and architects, ideally those who specialize in mana integration. If your students will live on-site, you'll need a reliable food supply. That could come from the system or local partners. Though, technically, players above a certain level don't need food anymore… Still, for comfort, a supplier partnership would help."

Five minutes passed, and Sin Soo-Yun was still talking.

Kara's initial enthusiasm gradually disappeared as the explanation grew more detailed and technical. Her expression changed to polite confusion as she struggled to keep up.

Noticing her expression, Sin Soo-Yun finally sighed. "For twenty million gold, I can handle everything. Land, construction, enchantments, recruitment, from start to finish. You can also be part of the process if you have something very specific in mind. It'll be ready in a week."

Kara recalled something Henri once said: "Leave it to the professionals," when his wife asked him of something he didn't want to do.

She smiled. "Fine. Let's do that."

Sora smiled when he noticed the beaming look on Kara's face.

"Why are you so happy? What happened?" he asked.

Kara shook her head playfully. "It's a secret!" Then, as if remembering something, she added, "Do you want to stay in France? Or should we move somewhere else?"

Sora blinked at the question. "Honestly? I'd prefer moving out of France. We can go anywhere…"

Kara's smile widened. "Let's go back to Korea, then. But since we're helping your parents level up, we should ask them before moving."

Sora nodded. "You're thinking about the Seoul apartments? The guild HQ?"

"We don't have to go back there exactly," Kara replied, "but I wouldn't mind it. Anywhere in Korea works for me."

Sora nodded, about to respond, when a message from Kim Dong interrupted his thoughts.

"Kim's inviting us to a restaurant," he said, glancing up at Kara. "Want to come?"

Kara shook her head. "You have fun. I need to take care of something."

----------------------------------------

Kara joined Sarsha in her [Time Space], interrupting her training session. "I need you to keep Ralph distracted for a week. I can't stay with him because I'll be busy for the next few days."

Sarsha raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on her lips. "Oh? Sending your man off with another woman? That's bold, Kara. Didn't expect you to be that kind of girl."

Kara rolled her eyes, though a faint blush rose to her cheeks. "It's not like that. I need time to work on something important and surprise him. If he stays with me, he'll get bored and won't be surprised."

Sarsha's smile widened. "And what exactly am I supposed to do with him for a whole week?"

Kara smiled knowingly. "He promised you a sightseeing trip around the world, didn't he? Let's make him keep his promise! Keep him moving, distract him, and make sure to keep my activity secret when he starts asking too many questions."

And so, following Kara's request, Sora and Sarsha left France to travel the world.

In Morocco, Sarsha haggled with merchants and rode camels while Sora watched with a bored stare.

In Argentina, while she danced in the streets, he looked away.

In Egypt, she tried climbing the pyramids and nearly got arrested, while Sora stood at a distance, pretending not to know her.

In Kyoto, she prayed at every shrine and dragged him from one place to another, both dressed in traditional robes.

By the end of the week, Sarsha was glowing with joy, and Sora's mood had finally returned to normal.

----------------------------------------

Sora followed Kara through the countryside outside Seoul, his curiosity at its maximum.

Kara walked ahead, a silly smile on her face, bouncing up and down as they advanced.

"Why don't you let me use my Mental Power? What if we get ambushed?" Sora asked for what felt like the tenth time, itching to scan the area.

Kara turned, her auburn hair catching the sunlight. "Before we had Mental Power, it never bothered you to travel blind," she teased. "Just a few more seconds. You'll love it." After a pause, she added, "Probably."

Sora sighed, though he couldn't help but smile. She'd been secretive all week, refusing to reveal what she was working on while he'd been off traveling with Sarsha. Playing along, he hadn't peeked with his powers.

After walking another kilometer, they climbed a small hill, and Kara stopped. She turned to Sora with a grin. "Close your eyes."

"Kara, this is—"

"Just do it," she said, feigning irritation.

He complied with a reluctant sigh. Kara carried him forward for a few hundred meters, her hands covering his eyes.

When she finally removed them, he opened his eyes—and froze.

A massive complex stretched before him, extremely vast. Dozens of towers, training areas, and ecosystems blended across a twenty-kilometer-wide area. It was a mix of human craftsmanship and modern magic.

"A… mansion? Is this our new home?" Sora asked, stunned.

Kara rolled her eyes. "Seriously? What kind of mansion has towers, its own [Adventurer's Guild] branch, an [Auction House], training arenas, and a damn hospital?"

She spread her arms wide. "Welcome to the academy!"

Sora scanned the massive complex, taking in the vast courtyards, gardens, dormitories, and specialized buildings.

"Incredible…" he muttered. Then, turning to Kara: "You built all this in a week?"

She scratched her cheek. "I had a lot of help…"

After a pause, she added, "But something's still missing." Seeing the confusion on his face, she continued, "It doesn't have a name yet."

Sora sighed. "You know I suck at naming things…"

Kara grinned. "That's okay! I still want you to be the one who names it. You're part of this."

"Prestige Academy?"

Her smile froze. "Try again."

"Heavenly Sect?"

"Again."

"Nexus Academy?"

"Better, but not quite!" She was starting to look annoyed.

"Tower of Gods?"

Kara's eye twitched. "What tower? What gods? Are you messing with me?"

She crossed her arms. "Forget it! I'll name it myself. Your Japanese name means sky, right? This school will be called 'Sky Academy.'"

Sora shook his head. "So cliché."

Kara resisted the urge to strangle him, took his hand, and started dragging him toward the central building.

"Our first students are already here! Want to meet them?"

Ahead stood a ten-story building, large enough to house thirty classes at once.

Sora, still refraining from using his Mental Power, tilted his head as familiar voices reached his ears.

"I've heard that voice before, but I can't remember where…" he said, deep in thought. Then, hearing a second and third familiar voices, he looked at Kara. "Who are they? And why do I feel like I know them?"
