Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 86 86 A morning before the academy

[Lucy's POV: ]

[ "Oy, oy. Check out that chick." ]

[ "Hmmm. Not pretty." ]

[ "Bastard. Then check out that dude." ]

[ "Hmmm. Not strong." ]

[ "Ugh. Then how about that cat?" ]

[ "Hmmm. Oh? We can definitely use her." ]

[ "Alright~! Then what about that dog-" ]

[ "Hard pass ma'am." ]

We were standing in a crowded open area with a giant gate before all of us.

People, mostly young-looking but not specifically young in age, had all gathered here for the long-awaited great occasion today.

It was finally the day of the entrance exam of the great academy of Idyllia. And right now, we are looking for potential candidates for some of our future tasks.

'And though our little personal conversation sounds like this, we are talking about the beast people, and not actual animals. Though it was a different matter El actually was leading me into thinking some weird things. This damn girl…'

In the capital city, in a square where the areas leading to the common area of the city and the area with an aristocratic majority, thousands of people of all kinds, types, and backgrounds had gathered today.

There were humans, elves, dwarves, beast people, unique monsters, and even awakened creatures from humble, aristocratic as well as royal backgrounds from all over the world.

They were here for the academy exam today, to get into the most special, prestigious, and honorary school on the entire planet.

They all carried the hope of their family and their own selves, maybe arrogance of their families or backgrounds, pride in the strengths they already possessed and talents they believed in, but one thing was true for all the creatures present here: despite the prejudices, personal or cultural stereotypes, or racial differences, everyone present in this open area before these giant golden gates was minding their own business.

No fights were going on and even though some places had a lot of cheerful noises while some were calm as a graveyard, everyone here didn't even dare cause useless troubles in this place.

'And the main reason for that…'

"Aren't they cute?"

El was looking upwards at eye-like giant creatures commonly known as the eyes of the headmaster, floating freely above that were observing everything going on here and then, she pointed at the giant armored knights holding actual holy swords.

"And they call those weapons holy swords? I can create better than those things with synthesis.

Right! Should I offer them a free synthesis and trick them into paying an absurd price~?"

"Sure. Try it after the school starts."

"Yes~! Nes will help me right~?"

"Hmmm? What? Did you say something El?"

There were thousands of people here, ninety-six thousand three hundred and sixty-nine to be exact according to her counting. And though it was a little more than the usual years, this was a pretty casual number for the academy.

'But the fun thing is, there are many, and by many, I mean a lot of strong people giving the academy exam this time. And its reason—Law of causality…'

There were more unexpected characters here than what we had predicted aside from the five of them, and it was most probably because of our presence in this world.

'Things have changed now, so, we have to slowly stop comparing this world and what happens with the game we knew about.'

Knowing what might happen and knowing the information about a lot of things were two different things, so even if we knew what might happen, the chances of something new and totally unexpected happening had also increased many times.

That's why we needed to be alert… but we were sitting here, eating ice cream, gossiping instead.

"I asked if you would help me or not~."

"Help? Yeah? But with what?"

"You agreed already so what does it matter now~?"

"El… well, ok."

She liked this special ice cream I made before coming here, but more than that, she was having fun looking around at this place filled with so many people, and since she recently got the skill to look at the status windows of others, she was having even more fun.

<Nyaaaaa. There are too many people here. I do not like it!>

<Ptsssss? I like it though. There are so many people~. And they all are so different too~. It's fasciiiiiiiinating.>

Raz and Silver were here as well, chatting with us, waiting until it was time for the test so that they could say their goodbyes to us.

"El, Lu, Nes, looks like it's time for the emperor's arrival."

In a distance at the gate of the high-class zone, a chariot which was being pulled by the royal golden horses was visible now, which clearly indicated the arrival of the emperor. However, he was only here as a parent to drop his children off.

His influence did not work in this particular zone since it was part of the academy so, there was no need to do something like going there and paying our respects.

'He's a bastard anyway.'

Three children from the royal family would attend the academy this time around out of tens of his children.

One was obviously the crown prince, our second male lead, and the other two included his older sister and a bastard younger brother who was like those typical arrogant royal princes from the novels.

Still, they were only his children in the name, he didn't give a flying fuck about any of them, just like the usual rulers of most of the fantasy places.

"Don't worry about him, Eva. If anything, watch out for something like a giant bird in the sky. The royal family of the elvan kingdom should also arrive by now."

The characters of our dear game were now entering the starting point one by one, there was no way the two of us wouldn't be excited about something like this. But they weren't the only ones we were looking forward to seeing.

"Hehehe. Oh! Ohhh! Lucy look over there!"

The six main characters of our game were the core of the storyline however, there were three unique supporting characters that had enough talent, powers, luck, and abilities to be on par with those six main leads. And, El was pointing at one of them right now.

"Lion Grandlift Frances Ardian. The future ruler of the Ardian kingdom and successor of Grandlift Braions, the swordmaster of the south, and Frances Kiton, the grand magician of the north. He's cool."

I liked this character. He was fun, strong, and more than anything, he was the epitome of nobles in this part of the Worldline.

'A true noble…'

He was a special one, I think I will have him-

"He's mine."

"…?!"

What was this now? Why did she want someone like him?!

"You take Lily."

"What will I even do with her?!"

"F-"

"No!"

This damn sister of mine…!

And she was smiling on top of that!

"Alright. Have Oak. I will take both Lion and Lily~. And then those two will… hehehe."

I knew exactly what was going on in that bad mind of hers.

She was talking about these people like they were some kind of objects!

'But I can work with Olkea so that much was fine.'

She usually went with her when it came to having these supporting characters so I thought she would go with her this time as well, maybe have Lily too and do-, no. Whatever.

Lion the noble, Lily the healer, and Olkea the witch. The three great supporting characters. And all three were already present here.

Lion was in his usual fancy suit, drinking his usual tea, while the girls of the aristocracy were looking at him from afar. His pink hair and gold-like eyes looked better than we had seen in our game but the cool air around him was the same.

Lily was a human and compared to most people here, she was relatively short for a human adult. But, well, her blond hair and distinct heterochromic red and blue eyes made her unique among the group of commoners around her.

Olkea was a witch but, she was from a relatively well-off family so she was also easy to spot in the crowd of rich brats and girls surrounding her.

But, she was almost emotionless, her purple eyes were shining under this gentle sunlight, and she looked as pretty as Eva.

'But Eva was a mature beauty so comparing both their attractiveness was not the same.'

She was pretty and cute, while Eva was so attractive that many older males here couldn't keep their eyes away from her.

And the same was true for the three of us since we weren't using any kind of magic to hide our charming looks anymore.

This was where everything was going to start so there was no need to hide one of our most powerful weapons. It was rude to not show our hot appearance to the world anyway.

"Lu, I see a big bird. Is that it?"

Eva pointed in the distance where I couldn't see a thing for a moment, but then the outline of something became clear far away in the sky.

'She got better in that short time. Perhaps the adventurer test was helpful to her.'

She was getting better at seeing things and she had pointed out, that there sure was a giant bird, more like the royal wyvern, flying towards this place, which of course was a flashier entry than the royals of this empire.

'But, well, since she was here now…'

[ "There. He's here too." ]

El pointed at a certain figure walking here from the gates of the common side of the city, who wore a unique straw hat, had a traditional eastern attire, and carried a simple-looking sword around his waist.

The protagonist of this game, Ragasage, or what he usually refers to himself as, Ras. The one with the most ordinary entry among the protagonists was making his way to the square.

The crown prince, Morexis Von Jivan Kadeloth Paras De Barnacle, the second male lead was climbing down the royal chariot in his royal outfit and humble expression.

He was miserable but, his latent strength was no less than Ras, making him a point that can either lead the world in a positive way or destroy it all with his own hands.

'And then there's him.'

The bastard bloodsucker was in the spotlight on the right corner of this square with the royal princesses of the eastern and northern continent's prominent kingdoms, chatting so normally with so simple expressions that the ones giving him death stares also couldn't help but doubt themselves and their actions.

'He was dangerous, miserable, and strangely easy to deal with at the same time. So, El would take care of him if he middles with our business too much.'

The three male leads were here, making their way to a good enough place to spend the remaining time. And just like them, the female leads had also arrived on this starting stage.

Princess Catherein Alex Aria Von Vanraya De Salvia, or as we would call her, Cathy had also climbed down from her father's wyvern and her father, mother, and grandmother were wishing her good luck for her time in this new place.

The three loved her unconditionally, so much that the kingdom already belonged to her, which didn't go well with most of the other people there.

But Cathy had nothing to do with those complicated things, and since she was a sheltered kid who grew up with mostly everything, she did not know the darkness of this world yet.

'She will grow as she finds out many things she had never thought were the reality of this world and, that journey of her growth was the ultimate betterment of this world.'

She was pure for now, but she would change as she walked on her path and made her own unique choices. But still, she would never be like Nes. The two of them were completely different from each other anyway.

We would make sure this smile she has, the smile that is overjoyed to see so many special people in the same place at once, remains on that pretty face as long as we were here.

'And even after that, if our bastard fate allowed it.'

But she was with us for now, and that happiness was all we could ask for.

Lastly, the last female lead, the anomaly that we have crossed paths with once, the one that we will have to 'obtain' as soon as possible, was looking at everything happening in this square from a nearby building.

We can see her since she was relatively close, but, she was observing the people here, or more accurately, the opponents that she would have to face in a short while.

'It was true that everyone was present here for the academy test but, since few knew about the content of these tests, most of the people had no idea the people they were chatting here with, were soon going to be their opponents…

[Attention all personal present.]

"Get ready everyone."

That was the announcement before the announcement of the test itself so, ultimately, it was time for the test to begin.

"Let's go have some fun."

And with the test, it was also time for the greater fun to begin.

"Hehehe. Yesss~!"
