Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

144 144 The end of second test



[El's POV: ]

My name wasn't there. Why wasn't it there?! Where was it if not here?!

"El, calm down-"

"No hell! Where is it?! Was it so amazing that even the headmaster found it so intriguing that he had to block it off?! How's that possible?! I didn't even put that much effort-"

"You and I both know you did your best this time. Don't degrade yourself by saying that. If it's not even on his personal list, then it only means he is still evaluating it, right? We can see it forever now that we are on the ranking board so, calm down."

He held my face and made me look him in his eyes, bastard. He wanted me to calm down in a time like this, fucking bastard. How would he know just how anxious it feels when you don't get what you worked so damn hard for, dumb bastard.

'This was one thing that I was excited to see the result of, but, nope. My name isn't on top of that shitty rankings and we have no freaking idea if it will be there anytime soon or not.'

This is frustrating. Uughhhh!

<Nya, El. You should calm down as well. If you aren't even on that bastard's personal list yet, then it means you did something extraordinary, nya. You should be proud and ask for rewards instead.>

"Rewards? Ah~! Yes! Rewards~. They matter more than a temporary delay, right~. I will get the privileges if I'm on top of the list as well~. Yeiii~."

My dear cutie Raz was smarter than this bastard of mine. He knew what actually helped in situations like these. But, as he said… rewards~.

"Hehehe, we got the first spot and now our first place is practically decided. There's no way in hell they will beat a score millions of points higher than them in a matter of a few hours. So~. Let's collect the loot here and wrap up the things~. Reward calculation should finish by the time our familiar summonings are over~. 

Ah, right. I almost forgot."

-Smack!

"Oyyyy! What did I do now?!"

"You fucking bastard. You became a swordmaster before I could finish my seventh 'Triangle'."

He worked hard to defeat that monster and he broke through the realm of an advanced swordsman and stepped foot into the realm of masters before me. That was cheating!

-Smack!

"Ouch! That hurts!"

"It obviously hurts when you are slapped! Dumb bastard!"

-Smack!

"I won't tolerate this anymore! One more time and-"

-Smack! 

"Or what?! You will slap me? Your master and superior?! You dare-"

[ "Ahem, ahem. Sorry to interrupt you two in the middle of your little thing and I know you must be exhausted already but, can I please have a moment of your time? ]

"Hmmm?"

We all heard a voice, looked back and, a figure that we weren't expecting anytime soon, was present there, with the familiar emotionless expression present on his face.

"Ah, yes headmaster."

"And, there's no need to talk in Mana speech, we understand most of the languages."

"That is good then."

The headmaster was here. I don't know why but, he was here so it must be because of something very important.

"The rumors weren't exaggerated, I see. You two, really are quite unique."

He must have looked through our statue window, not that there was anything visibility noteworthy there, but, there certainly were things that were 'unique' from any other usual human's status window. 

Like our crown skills and the [Grade-4] skills that we had. Few people in this world possessed those skills but we had more than one of them, certainly strange, but especially unique.

"Anyhow, I'm here as the representative of the academy at the moment. And, the academy would like to purchase some of the artifacts and materials present in this area. I hope you will not mind this out-of-the-blue request."

"Ooooh, so that's why you came running hun, headmaster. I see, You must be interested in the simulator core; the grass, glass, and branches of that old blue tree, and the parts to upgrade the mainframe system, right? 

I was surprised when I saw these rare things here as well. Dragons sure are one crafty bastard, nay?"

We were seeing this place for the first time and some of the things present here were things that even Raz would have to spend a few hours finding. 

They weren't commercial things and they didn't grow into wild areas either.

They were rare resources, some of them were at least, so the headmaster would obviously want these things when they were found in his own yard. He had priority rights.

"The rumors that you know an awful lot about most of the surface things seem to be true as well, hun?"

"Hehe, we are special after all. Anyway, we would love to do the negotiations as well. But must we do it here and now?"

"I would have appreciated if we could have done it here, and finished it as soon as we can so that you and Master Dark can deal with the leftover stuff."

"Hehe, it's cute how you call Raz master Dark."

<Nyaaaaa! I don't like that name!>

Even Lucy was laughing at how Raz's face turned pink-red after hearing that simple but unacceptable name. The word 'Dark' in the language we were using meant 'the one who bears light' which was the stark opposite of this little kitten's motto of always doing business while wearing a skin of darkness.

Only the headmaster and two other Offspring called him by that name, and it was due to a certain incident that happened a long time ago. Which is a funny story for some other time actually.

"Ah, alright. We can finish it now if you insist. You can discuss the dealing matters with these two. Meanwhile, lemme go look around what we have here."

Raz was in my arms, and Lucy was on my lap. And I'm these two's mommy now, so they were my cute bastards. And, they were better when it came to negotiations anyway, so I left them with the headmaster and went around the cave-like storage area.

It was only one vast place with some piles here, and some equipment there. Things lay in a mess here, and in one certain corner of the place, there was a bed, and desk that must have belonged to Eisheth.

They were the most relatively common-looking places out there, so they caught my attention the most.

"Hmmm…"

I went through some stuff there and looked for anything that might have belonged to Eisheth, but among all the weird and useless things, I found a box filled with a few bottles of Eisheth's essence and a certain necklace with a unique pendant.

"Is this…?"

It was a necklace with a golden chain that was undoubtedly made from (Yellow Mithril) found in the middle parts of Hell, a (Purple Akhilic Jedite) as a pendent which was worth more than a few hundred thousand Oz, and the jewel was just the outer surface of this necklace. When I opened this small necklace, there was a photo inside of the necklace on the right side, on the left side were written a few words in the original language of the demons, and, there was a very normal looking 'red needle' present on the right side above the photo, an artifact that I didn't think we would ever see in a place like this…

'Jackpot. The real one.'

Eisheth's parents are famous figures in the [Hell] and she certainly was their cherished daughter. 

They believed she was dead already but I have no doubt that they will find out it wasn't the truth and that she had been alive until a while ago, at least physically, so they will undoubtedly reach out to us. 

'Perhaps that will be the first time we would be meeting true demonic entities, true demonic aristocracy actually. I'm looking forward to that time now even more~!'

With the red needle in my hand and a smirk on my face, I glanced back at my two children who looked to have finished the negotiations earlier than I expected. 

Both of them knew that I had found something very interesting from that look alone and the headmaster knew what I had found and what I might be planning to do with it. But, he or the academy had no need for such things. 

These artifacts or pendant wasn't what he came here for. It was the other artifacts and ingredients. And, his work was done already, so, he didn't have anything to do here anymore.

"Alright then, Lucifer, Master Dark, and Miss Auriel. Let's see each other in the summoning area in an hour."

"Hmmm? An hour? Shouldn't there still be a few hours-"

"I wish you both good luck and congratulations."

He vanished. That fucking bastard of a headmaster just vanished with a subtle smirk on his hot face… that bastard!

"He messed with the time to prevent us from interfering with the remaining students, fuck!"

We were going to do some things with the remaining students, chop off ones that were unnecessary, and help the ones who were needed, but weren't in the range of the passing criteria that we knew so that they could get in.

We were going to do that but now he was saying just one hour was left?! What the fuck??!

"El, let's just take everything here think about the other things later. Raz, deal with the stream and make some highlights and upload on our channels, I already gave you all the permissions, and El, go east and deal with…"

All of this was more important for Lucy so as soon as the headmaster said there was only one hour remaining, he first confirmed it with the clock and after quickly thinking things through, he came up with a new quick strategy that we executed without waiting a second.

'The headmaster screwed over us since he knew we were going to artificially manipulate things if we were given time, but, on the other hand, that sadistic bastard also wanted to see just how far could we go if there was a very negligible amount of time on hand.' 

Fucker underestimated us though, again. When it came to following plans, we both were more quick on our feet than doing the dungeons blindly.

'We quickly packed everything in that cave in my prism space, went in different directions at full speed, eliminated targets that were necessary, and helped the ones that we needed, We certainly crossed paths with all six of my protagonists, but we ignored them.'

The stream that was broadcast to all the students was more impactful than I had thought. 

Some students were now scared of us after seeing all that abominable nonsense, that demon succubus corruption, and all those things. The people we had crossed paths with before going to the dungeon were surprised, perhaps shocked as well, and when I met Nes, she was all worried.

It would have taken me five ministers to calm her down if I had stopped to chat with her and I wanted to, but, thankfully, I controlled myself and held back.

'I just passed by her and told her that we would chat later, and the look she had when she saw me… haaa…'

She was sad, but, well, we can talk later in the garden.

'I moved around faster than winds, used my [Quick blink] many times to travel as far as I could, and I had to cover a large part of the labyrinth, so, by the time the time ended, though we couldn't achieve everything we planned in that short time, we managed to finish up more than half of it, and clear out the all the most important factors.'

[Ding!]

[Attention all students. The exam time has come to an end.]

[Everyone will be transported out of the examination area.]

[Congratulations to everyone on finishing the exams.]

[The results of the second test will be declared soon with a final result list of all the students who will be attending the academy as students in this round.]

"Haaa…"

We were thrown out of the labyrinth, the place where we spent the last few hours or, some of the worst and most fun days until now, and reappeared in the garden of six seasons once again.

"Heyyyyyy! What is that!?"

"Is that…?!"

"Oh my lord…!"

-Swiiiiiiiiiiiiish!

[ "Lucy… am I seeing things?" ]

[ "No El… it really is what we are seeing…" ]

We were greeted by a large gust of wind that was shaking even the tall trees present around us. These winds were so strong that some of the students were actually thrown away by the force of the winds.

But, thankfully, they were saved by the peacock-tailed instructor that we had seen before going to the labyrinth. 

'Haaa… damn.'

And the reason for all this commotion that happened right after we appeared in this garden: a young <SS> ranked creature famous throughout the entire Worldline, a griffin. A divine creature that was known as the ruler of earth and winds. And, even though the one we were seeing was a young one, it was large enough to be visible from a few kilometers from our current location… just shows how majestic this creature actually was…
