Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 244 244 Card tree

[El's POV: ]

"Then, to the headmaster of the academy, I would like the representative of the academy to receive this award."

The Medal of Honor was given to certain places, or individuals, or groups by the intergalactic adventurer's association for ultimately contributing to the association in some way, or to this galaxy.

It is a special award that means a great deal to every person, group, or place that receives it, and alongside this medal, they receive a good amount of funds, the restrictions of their world on them are lessened, and they can do much more than most others of their own world were capable of.

'Adventurers are an inseparable part of the Worldline and so is the IAA, that's why the being directly above this fantasy wizard is the 120th offspring of the Worldline.'

And they are more powerful than the true Headmaster so, at this moment when Grandalff was acting as the messenger of that being, even the headmaster's avatar had to behave the way a headmaster of a certain planet's best academy would.

[ "This formality is quite boring Lucy. Can't we just skip this whole thing and go straight to the other things?" ]

[ "Well, this isn't the game El. It's happening before me and we have to live through it." ]

[ "Well I don't wanna. I am gonna sleep until this shit is done so wake me up." ]

[ "Ahem. No, you cannot sleep, miss. I am enduring so you stay awake and watch this stuff with me. Suffer with me." ]

[ "Yeah, no thanks. I am alright-" ]

"I would like to invite two top tankers who have shown phenomenal results this time around to accompany me."

'What?'

[ "Wait, what?" ]

[ "Did he just say the two top rankers? Was he referring to us, Lucy?" ]

"El… brother Lucy."

Everyone was looking at the back at us along with the surprised teachers and the headmaster.

"Auriel. Lucifer. Come forward."

'Shit.'

"No, we are-"

"Yes, headmaster."

[ "What?! No! Fuck! I don't want to go, damnit!" ]

They will do a long-ass ceremony to give the award to first the school representative, then the school representative will give awards to the teachers, and then they will do some formalities that will go on for a fucking long hour!

I don't want to be part of that shit, damnit!

"Don't drag me, you bastard. I didn't-"

"Shut the hell up, El."

He was dragging me against my will! Fucking bastard!

Fuck!

[ "What is the matter with you, damn! I said I don't wanna! I have no obligation to consent to their shit! Who even cares about all that?! What the hell! I just want to do that gacha! Fuck this! Fuck you!" ]

This fucking bastard was dragging me.

I didn't wanna go and he was still dragging me there!

"El…?"

"Don't worry about her, Nes."

'What do you mean don't worry about me?! She is mine you fucking bastard! You cannot tell her to not worry about me! She is mine! She can save me, damn it!'

If he wanted to do this shitty thing then he can do whatever the hell he wanted to do!

Why drag me into this boring hell as well?!

And in the first place, why the fuck did that bastard headmaster want us to accompany him?!

"You know why I asked for you two, right?"

"The Marciel family, yes."

"Good. At least you know the mess you are making."

"Hmmm?"

What are these two bastards talking about?

What about them?

"Uho uho uho! I did not expect the great headmaster Gray to have escorts. Are they that special?"

"Yes, lord Grandalff. They are special enough to make you miss your schedule."

This Lucy bastard first dragged me before the headmaster, then they talked shit about the people we saved, and then he dragged me before this old wizard bastard… fuck them!

Did these bastards think they can control what I do?! How dare they!

[ "Calm down little volcano. The situation's playing pretty well so don't ruin this please." ]

[ "What the hell do I care about this shit?! I wanted to sleep! Do not do this stuff! And what the hell do you mean by Marciel family?! What did they do?! What did we do?!" ]

Bastards.

All of them are bastards!

I wanted to stay in the back and watch everyone hold back their laugh and do some things to make them laugh but he ruined all that!

He dragged me into this shit when I don't want anything to do with their shit and this stuff! This is the worst!

[ "El… stop this nonsense. You know how the Marciel family is very important to that world, right?

And now that there is a passage between that world and this world, even though we are in control of one gate, other gates to that world will undoubtedly open up all over this world and the headmaster will have to take care of that thing.

And since the problem involves two different worlds, an intermediary neutral party is needed, which, of course, would be the IAA in this case since the initiation of those gates involves a dungeon that is under our control.

I know you know how complicated it is and also that you understand this more than I do, but please just calm the hell down and think about this stuff!

It is necessary for us to keep a good relationship with this fantasy wizard of yours so that we can have his support when we go up!" ]

[ "Oh… I see where you coming from, and yes. I will calm down now, but stop fucking shouting at me you fucking piece of shit! What do you take me for!? I am your master before that bitch of yours! You are mine and mine alone!" ]

[ "Of course I am! But try to understand, dear Auriel. This is important for me." ]

I know she is important to you, bastard.

She is perhaps the only woman other than me in this entire Worldline you admire so much.

I know just how important it is for you to meet her again, to save her this time, spend more time together with her, and learn things you could not previously… I know you greedy bastard more than enough.

'You want to go back to that sexy bitch, embrace her, get begun by her, and smile like a masochist and then show her all of yourself, the previous turns, and your memories together with her.

I know how your reunions have been, I have been there. So, I know how important she is for you.'

But that doesn't give you the right to fucking shout at my face so shut the hell up.

[ "Haaaa… let's just finish this shit. I wanna see the tree." ]

[ "Same." ]

The award process seemed long as fuck even though it was only an hour long.

"Alright then! Now~. Let us move on to the main event of the day~."

The headmaster moved us around and made us do stuff I would have never done if it wasn't for this fanatic wizard being here.

Having him around was already difficult as hell so now that we had this moment, during and after this gacha event, we would have to finish talking all the things we needed with him. And, perhaps if we get the chance, we will have a little moment with him alone as well.

'There are a few things we will need to make clear before we establish any kind of relationship between us, so that talk will be important.'

However, before that…

-Ooooooooooooong!

Grandalff tapped his magic wand-like sword on the ground and with a blast of green light, a tree grew out of nowhere in that place.

A tree that was pretty unique looking compared to all the other trees in this garden.

"Ohhh… wow."

"Is this it? The rumored tree that grants wishes?"

"Hey, everyone, look! There are things on the tree."

"Are they… cards? Wow…"

The tree that was summoned had a white base, trunk, and branches. The leaves on the tree were small and very close to each other, however, they were of various colors. So many various colors that it seemed like every leave on the tree was of a different shade.

'However if one looked closely, there were mostly the seven main colors and some of its shades. Just that. The others just looked the same because of the proximity.'

And then there were the cards hanging in some places on this tree.

Cards that had a certain kind of effect on them.

"Yes, students, yes. This is the [Kaspin]. The Card tree or as some call it, the tree that grants wishes. However, I personally like to call it-"

"The Luck trap."

I spoke up before him and surprised, he looked at us with a unique smile.

"That is right, young miss. This tree, this divine existence, is merely a play of luck. A gamble. Something the same as the Golden Roulette or the Silver Poker table.

It is based on luck, so, please do not expect something too grand from this tree.

You might get something, something good, something bad, or something completely random.

It is certain you will get something, but what you get is completely random."

That was bullshit.

"Then, who wants to be the first one to try this~?"

This was a very sophisticated game.

And the winners can get anything from a precious piece of land somewhere high up in the Worldline, or a piece of star if they are lucky.

They could even get the title of a god if they were lucky enough or were proficient enough in this game, however, we did not want that.

[ "It's time Lucy" ]

We were going to get something special from this tree.

And with the things we get, we were going to more things and some titles, and some money, and a few more things that will cause an uproar in the entire Worldline.

And, for that, we will receive special achievements and rewards.

'It's going to be fun, hehehe.'

But, well, we weren't gonna go first.

We had plenty of time so we could just stand back and have fun with the other cuties~.
