Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 114 114 Lady Alquea

[Eva's POV: ]

"They were fools, and disrespectful. They have no manners whatsoever, no courtesy, no nothing. Not even the basic mannerisms. How can such people even think of becoming an official helper in this prestigious place?

And more than that, just what kind of fools hire these kinds of bunch as their servants?"

She seemed angry, but her voice was still calm. And, the way she was cursing at them, sounded melodious compared to how El might have cursed at them if she was here.

'Their behavior was certainly uncomfortable. But to throw them like that? Wouldn't the examiners…'

I turned around to look at the four examiners to see their reaction.

I thought they would be upset with her behavior or perhaps angry that she was hurting other people but, surprisingly, four of them had no such reaction.

'The Lizardman examiner was staring on the other side of the ground where the mages had created the magic circles while the three cats were eating the cookies with delighted expressions.'

None of them cared for them, it was even like these people weren't even worth anything in their eyes.

'Did they already fail them for their behaviors…?'

It would be scary if they did. But since they said this was our break time, this behavior might also be because of that.

'But that aside, why the heck is she looking at me like that?!'

She was perhaps the closest person to the only successor to the throne of the Vanraya kingdom aside from the queen, king, and his mother. And from what I know, the great archmage, Lady Sabrina had personally taught her magic from a young age.

She was a student of one of the strongest in this world, so, no doubt she was so amazing… but what was this?!

"Are you alright, my lady?"

"M-my lady?!"

"Oh? Would you like to be called Miss Evaline instead?"

"Yes please!"

'She was already calling me my lady! Why?! I wasn't hers!'

Her face was pretty and attractive and she was fit too, but her eyes clearly had that look Lu has when looking at El!

There was certainly 'liking' or attraction in those eyes, I knew! But why was she attracted to me!?

I shouldn't be good enough to be attractive to someone like her even if she was into women but this wasn't right! I didn't hate women but I wasn't attracted to them in that way! We couldn't have that kind of relationship even if she was so pretty…!

"Ahem. Miss Evaline. I think you are mistaken about something. I'm not attracted to you or anything… yes you are pretty and I wouldn't mind you, since I don't mind the physical body of any person, but you are definitely thinking something wrong.

I saw your demonstration and I couldn't help but stare at that unique artifact sword of yours.

If you don't mind, can I see it?"

"Oh, so that was the-… wait! What do you mean I'm pretty and you don't mind-"

"Shuuu. It would be better if you keep it to yourself."

She put her index finger on my lips to silence me and smiled down at me. She was taller and prettier than me and the aura around her was so intense that even I felt like I would have to bend over… ahem! What are you thinking Eva?! Stop those horses!

"Huhuhu, you are cute."

She laughed in a sweet way and… was this because of her charm? Why was I thinking these weird things?!

"It's alright. Don't think too much, you young one. It's alright if are having some strange thoughts that you know you shouldn't have. It just means your mind isn't strong enough to handle someone too strong just yet.

But just as that oldie said, you have potential. Even I can tell. And your unique weapon matches that potential of yours.

I can tell from a glance that your weapon is a masterpiece."

She patted my head and a strange energy washed over me, helping me clear all these weird thoughts and emotions that weren't mine.

"Ahh… thanks."

I didn't know what was going on but it was perhaps something like temporary artificial reinforcement.

'My mental defenses are pretty strong already so, it should be because of some skill. It must be her innate power or something that made me like that.'

Looking back at her, I could see the look in her eyes was the same but now, it was more gentle, as if she was looking at some kid. And there was sympathy as well… which she shouldn't have when looking at a simple person like me.

"Haha, anyway, the weapon. It can change its form so just that much makes it an amazing artifact but it has skills too. Does it have an Ego as well?"

I didn't know why she was so interested in Luel but her interest was reflected on her face very clearly.

I could tell she was excited to see her, but the way she deducted all those things about Luel just from a look was even more amazing.

'I didn't know she was so enthusiastic about artifacts. It sure is impressive.'

She was… unique. But, well, she was pretty and amazing as well so it was fine.

And, at the very least, she wasn't hostile to me. She even helped me with those bunch of bad people so showing Luel to her should be fine as well, right?

-Ooooooong!

"Yes, she is an Ego but she is young. She's shy as well so please be careful."

Luel didn't have any fixed form but she was most comfortable while in a sword form which I can change into whatever I want to.

She understood what I wanted and helped me but I avoided changing her into things that were too complicated for her to understand like a machine or some complex tool.

'El did say she would be able to do it in the future though. She's just too amazing~.'

"Fascinating…"

Lady Alquea's eyes lit up as soon as she took Luel from my hands, and that light of amazement in her eyes just grew brighter as she gently moved her hand on the bade of her sword form.

"She must be a bound weapon…"

"How can you tell that?"

I almost gasped with surprise at her low-voiced words that fell on my ears clearly.

How can someone tell if a weapon is bound to someone or not with just a simple touch? Did she have some skill like El or something?

"Hoho, one doesn't need a skill to tell something so basic, Miss Evaline. Once you have held a few thousand weapons, you can just tell many things like that from a simple touch like this."

Does she have a mind-reading skill too?!

"Still, I have searched throughout this entire world for nearly a decade for my own perfect weapon but not once in my journey had I encountered a weapon of this magnitude, finesse, and unique strength.

If you don't mind, can I know where you got this, or at least who was the person that made this weapon?"

She was asking with sincerity, her eyes screamed of her desperation. And there was a light of hope in them too now, as if she had finally found a clue to something she had been searching for her entire life.

'But should I tell her that we got that sword from a treasure chest? Would that be fine or should I tell her El was the one that turned that sword into its current state?'

It was a difficult question, but as Lu says, if I ever find someone's question too difficult to answer, I always have the option to not answer at all.

"You can ask that question to my masters, Miss Alquea. This is a weapon given to me by them so they would be the best people to ask an important question like that."

I might make a mistake if I tried to answer that too so instead of telling her things like how we cleared that dungeon and got that treasure chest and then El did those amazing things with this sword and turned it into Luel with her unique magic, it was better if they are the one to tell her about it.

Luel was a special weapon anyway, that much I knew for sure. So, instead of the one who merely used it, the one who got it, and the one who recreated it would be better to describe her worth.

"Huhu, looks like your masters taught you everything very well, hun? You are already better than most of the 'servants' I have seen in this life, honey."

"Hmmm? Honey?"

She was smiling again, and that weird feeling was back for some reason.

"Hehe, nothing. Here, take her. She really doesn't seem to like me much. She really is shy around people, I see."

She walked back a few steps after telling me that, and as she did, the smile on her face, as well as the warm expressions she was showing until now vanished completely.

"I look forward to meeting these amazing people you serve. But until then, take care. And do your best."

She bowed gracefully, and even before I could say anything, she walked away to the other side.

I wanted to ask her a few things, thank her for the last time for her help at the start, and if possible, I wanted to see that warm expression again… but the way she just walked away, I knew it wouldn't be possible to see her again until this test was over.

'She likes to keep her distance perhaps.'

She wanted to meet them because she was interested in my weapon, Sir Fang wanted to meet them because he was interested in me, and all these people here were interested in me because of the skills I had shown today, so they didn't care much about the two of them.

'They weren't much, but for them, it must be quite interesting.'

Those two taught me all those things so it was bound to be amazing but it was still fascinating how so many of these people from famous families were interested in something that the two of them taught me even before they had become adults.

''It just meant Lu and El were more amazing than those arrogant aristocrats, right?'

People from all over the world gathered here for the academy test and their servants as well as people finding appropriate people to serve gathered here for the official helper's test.

'There were many strong and talented people all around me right now, but they were interested in me, someone who used to be a tool for pleasure for a dirty bastard.'

Meeting Lu and El certainly was the greatest blessing of my life, and this attention I was getting right now was also all thanks to them.

'It is all theirs… so, if I had this chance, I must use it and help them my way.'

People wanted to talk to me, and it was break time so, wasn't it better to have a chat and get acquainted with them? Who knows? It might just turn out to be helpful for the two of them.

'Or at least getting strong and pretty people will make the two of them happy.'

It was a good plan, and, I just happen to have the perfect tool to aid me in this.

"So… who wants the cookies?"

The three kitties seem to have fallen in love with them, as well as the milk. It was obvious these normal people here would succumb to the temptation of their seductive taste.

'Hehe, they will eat this, and then the cookies will eat them~. Hahaha~.'

A perfect plan~!
