Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 181 181 Don’t worry about us, lol

[Lucy's POV: ]

'Haaaa… she's unbelievable.'

She just told Ras Sam's exact age, something she or he did not know about, and also claimed she knew he was far older than a hundred years. Something that she should not know about.

'Age isn't something that's recorded in the status windows since they are relative and not something 'real'. So, the look of surprise on his as well as Lux's faces was most certainly not because they thought she had seen their status windows but because even if she was able to see their status windows, which would be absurd all in itself, which she could actually, funnily, but, the fact that she knew their age as well, meant she could read more about them than things on their status windows, an ability that's considered very, very rare in the entire Worldline.'

However, that was also just their assumption about something they could only speculate. There was no real way to know if what they were thinking was right or if she'd only had some special kind of skill that let her see the age or perhaps the 'oldness' of something or someone.

They knew all kinds of skills existed in this world, and also that there was always a possibility that what they were thinking was wrong, which was the right assumption actually since not even her eyes were capable of telling her someone's exact age.

'Not that she needed her eyes for something abstract like 'age'. In the entirety of the worldline, the 'oldness' the property of something that has existed in some certain space-time for a certain period in a certain state, is a very abstract thing that isn't permanent or certain.

It changed or could vary depending on the context like some philosophical question. And, is uncertain.

'She already knew their age since we had the prior knowledge of these two and their familiar and many many other things and, she just said it according to that knowledge, which spooked them actually, and, presented a very rare opportunity to us that I wasn't thinking we will have any time soon.'

[ "Good work." ]

[ "I need a reward, not a thanks." ]

[ "You will have one later tonight then." ]

[ "Hehe, of course, I will." ]

Lux was someone who was practically haunted by the voice of this world.

Many worldly elements were searching for the unknown element that the world had missed during the correction process.

The Worldline was looking after her as a good source of entertainment but, at the end of the day, her life was akin to danger, and with each passing day, she was struggling, to keep herself alive.

'She knew her 'player' like powers and access to things that she should not have, things that she knew no one else even had any knowledge about, were all temporary and once her existence is detected by the voice of the world, if she is by some chance left alive, she will most certainly have to part ways with many of her powers.'

It was a fact that her powers would be lost… however, there was a way to avoid something like that. And, she also knew it was by gaining recognition of the Worldline, or in simpler worlds, becoming a VIP like us, people who were special observation targets, or people who possessed a unique title.

However, if someone or something already knew about her, about her being something that should not exist in this world, her life that she had preserved for such a long time, would be put in danger.

'El revealing someone else's age now led her to believe El, the one she had considered a person she could trust, had just become something she had been worried about. And, the same misunderstanding led Ras to believe she was something dangerous which, could become a threat to his work in this place or an obstacle in his path to liberation.'

Both of them were suddenly quiet, and, there was an error silence for a moment before, Ras looked up at her and spoke up using a unique 'voice transition' technique of the east, something similar to telepathy.

[( "You knowing our age had made me question a lot of things, Miss Auriel.but, considering my gut feeling that you are far more than what I can think about, I want to belive even after knowing a few things about me, about us, you are not some kind of threat that I will have to be worried about." )]

He thought using this voice transmission technique would be safer than saying things out loud since he knew how people and some unique beings were looking at them at that moment.

He knew even if we were taking things as nothing more than a simple thing, there might be others who could be thinking otherwise, or thinking of this whole information as some kind of opportunity.

That's why he thought talking about things out loud wasn't a good idea. However, he made a mistake by using a technique like this one and attracted the attention of those who were just minding their own business until now.

[ "I know you meant well when you used that technique, Ras but you ended up attracting people that didn't even know about your existence with us until now, hehe." ]

She spoke up in a unique Mana frequency, something only someone of his caliber could persevere in this entire room.. which included only her and me.

This was the safest technique aside from using our links, something that would be undetectable.

However, this confused him even more.

[( "How is this technique something that people here could perceive and interpret but not your simple Mana voice? I do not understand." )]

He was genuinely curious… the protagonist was curious. What more would I want on this fine day?

[ "Well, interrupting a certain kind of voice frequency is easy if you have a certain level of Mana affinity, or a special skill like Lux, or a generally good interpretation ability. Hehe, even Lucy could interfere with something as simple as this. Right darling?" ]

She turned her head around the room and saw a few people right in the eye with a smile on her face, which made them flinch even though they weren't looking at us directly.

[( "Eastern techniques are nothing unfamiliar to this world since it is a mixture of east, west, north, and south. The presence of Mana and beings like elves who perceive Mana in unique ways makes the simple voice transmission techniques simple to detect and interfere with.

Besides, in this school, there are many special students that have special skills.

You will find it amusing when you see their data yourself. And, you are already past (Level-100) so, your eye skill should unlock soon." )]

[[ "How could you know1…!" )]

[ "Ras darling. Don't use that technique any more. Didn't I say? People could hear you. You will be in more trouble if they hear more than necessary." )]

"However it is alright if he uses the skill?"

Now he was calming down, finally.

[ "Yes. Because he knows how to use voice transmission perfectly not even a mouse could pick up that kind of frequency.

He can do the same as what I am doing right now.

Amazing, right?" ]

I knew many techniques aside from the fighting techniques that I use but until now, there was never any need to use them. Now that we are in the school though, I might have to use some of them frequently.

"He can do… what?"

He looked at me with an absurd look. It was funny, somewhat worrisome, and a little weird as well.

It was an expression that didn't suit him at all.

[ "Don't think too deeply about this lol. You will figure it out in a few days now that you have experienced this. But besides that, Lux?" ]

I looked beside me when she turned her head towards Lux as well. And, as we saw, this new acquaintance of ours was looking down, all gloomy and confused.

But she looked up when El called out for her. With genuine poison in her eyes.

[ "Hehe, lol. Don't look at me like that. Aren't we friends? Why so much hate~? Cheer up dear. It's not like we have any great in this world's attention. We already have more than enough so, there's no way we would want a friend getting in harm's way because of something we do~." ]

She used a unique frequency again just for her, and when she heard her words, Lux confirmed that we knew her little secret.

"You know about it… since when?"

Lux had a gloomy look now, a look of someone who seemed to have accepted their defeat. Which El didn't like of course.

[ "Lux, dear, don't look so gloomy. I know we have just met and you don't believe us, you have no reason to, I know.

I understand the situation you are in, however, you aren't the first one to be in this kind of situation.

In this vast worldline, there have been a few other cases, which you don't know about, of course, but that's not important.

Just know that I'm here as your friend.

I don't care what the Voice of the world wants or is after, but, if you don't have anything to worry about." ]

She paused for a moment, and then looked at both of them for a moment, before looking at me and nodding with a smile.

[ "Don't worry about the two of us, lol.

We are here to do our own set of things that don't have anything to do with learning in this academy.

We like making friends, we like having fun with the fun things, and we like having special people like you as friends rather than enemies.

Believe me when I say this but, we also don't like the feeling of being restricted and watched, and the feeling of having the entire world against us.

We are here to do our own stuff as well, so, how about we stay friends and help out each other whenever necessary?" ]

She smiled at the two of them, and I did as well.

[ "Nicely said, Darling." ]

[ "Hehe, of course~. This much is nothing~. …but you can prise me a little more if you want. I wouldn't mine." ]

[ "Haha, of course. I will after we get out of here… so let's finish the food and get that dorm room. This much is enough for today." ]

[ "Yup." ]

"So dear friends… I hope we can get along well."

They knew now that we had our agendas in this place, just like them.

They knew we wanted them to be our friends and not enemies, as well as how we wanted them to be close but not as close as we were with Nes.

They knew we knew a lot about them as well as just how stronger we were than them as well so they also had no reason to get in our way if we were saying we had no interest in exposing them.

They could just simply do what they want and, if they ever need our help, we would be there. Of course, though, nothing is free in this world, they knew that much.

So…

This was the starting point of our new relationship.

And, though I do not know at this moment, however, this starting point will turn out to be something much more complicated than we have known at this moment in the near future...
