Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 213 Talent of reincarnations

[El's POV: ]

[ "So, where was I?" ]

[ "On my Ace of Hearts." ]

[ "Right, so, we will get her as we planned, then go to the other side of the southern continent and get him, as well as raid the dungeon over there if we have any time left." ]

[ "Right, and then we will get back by the end of the day so that we can attend the classes." ]

[ "Or, we can have Friday and Eva attend the classes in our stands. How about it?" ]

[ "Well… I don't think we will miss the classes though. There shouldn't be any need to do that this time, right?" ]

[ "There isn't, doesn't mean we can't do it though. Hehehe." ]

We have Friday now and, his ability to change forms is formidable. Even I cannot differentiate him from the real other people.

'It's a [Grade-3.5] skill that has enough powers to be compared to any [Grade-4] celestial skill. We are talking about a skill that can deceive even my eyes after all. There's no way it is something normal.'

And, that's just one of his normal skills.

The unique skills he has, both of them, are something even more amazing than I can describe at the moment.

"The application of skills is something one learns with experience and their own practices. Most of it is self-realization, however, when it comes to certain common skills like the [Rank-1] skills that one can purchase from the academy's general [Shop] with enough Points.

These are pretty basic skills that have a single function, or at least, that is how they are usually presented to someone.

However, as the students of this great institute, the most basic thing about these special powers called 'skills' is that they aren't just something the skill descriptions make them out to be.

From my own experience, I have learned the things on one's status screen about the same kind of skill could very a lot…"

Teacher Villex was doing his teaching and the bastard looked excited since he had gotten to the topic he wanted to teach without wasting much time. I knew he must be thankful to me that they did not have to go through the long process of asking many people's opinions until they reached to some point where things could be connected with the skill and skill applications.

'In the first place, he was going to talk about what he had prepared for today's lecture, and, just like the last time, it was obvious it would be general application skills… which was as boring of a topic as it sounded.'

[ "Hmmm. Then, how will we go about killing the Count? Do you think using your King or Queen would be good enough?" ]

[ "Killing him won't be a problem in itself, but, the thing that I am worried about is that swordmaster bodyguard by his side. That poor fellow doesn't even know how big of a trash his master is. I want to have him as a servant instead of losing him in collateral damage." ]

Swordmasters weren't fruits that grew on trees, having one on our side was always better than unnecessarily killing him.

[ "Hmmm… well, give me some time to think about this. I think we can make it possible." ]

[ "Sweet. Then-" ]

"Mister Lucifer? Did you understand what I just said?"

I was in the middle of saying something else when the teacher called for Lucy again, and, the entire class looked back at us once again.

"Yes, teacher? You were talking about the rankings and classifications of skills just now."

Some of them knew we weren't paying attention to what was happening there so their faces screamed with excitement, worry, or anxiety when the teacher asked them the question however, he answered it correctly, earning a few surprise gasps.

"Then you must also have learned what I just taught?"

"Hmmm? That teacher, I think you haven't actually taught us anything yet since there is only been a little talk and one demonstration, but, yes. If you mean if I understood what you had just discussed, then I understood it well."

This Lucy bastard… is actually wasting time playing with this poor teacher of ours. Bastard.

"Oh? Then you wouldn't mind demonstrating what you have understood as well, right?"

"Not at all, teacher."

I know this is the first day and all but these questions are still distracting us from our main work. Haaaa… the boring school life.

"So, as the teacher said, the skills are divided into different 'ranks' going from Rank-0 to Rank-6, and this applies to both the magic skills and the physical skills or some other special skills alike."

The people in this school followed the standard categorization method of this world instead of the normal [Grade] system of the Worldline that is easier to understand on the border scale, not that these ranks matter much. They ultimately refer to the [Grade] of a skill anyway where Rank-0 are the Zero skills, Rank 1 are the basic [Grade-1] skills that anyone can get after fulfilling certain conditions, Rank 2 and 3 are the [Grade-2] skills with more than one functions, Rank 4 and 5 are the [Grade-3] personal skills that define a certain characteristic of its owner, while Rank-6 are the [Grade-4] skills.

'Well, this classification system is pretty convenient, I would say, but I still like the Grade system instead.'

It's just so much better, has fewer numbers, and things are more organized in that one.

"One of the examples of the most common [Rank-1] skill is the [Mana breathing] skill that everyone that possesses a Mana heart has.

It's a simple skill that increases the Mana recovery ability, and the Mana circulation, and works as a core that gathers the Mana and maintains a kind of equilibrium throughout the Physical and mental bodies.

So, according to the teacher's explanation, skill is not bound by just the things written in the skill description and with the Mana breathing, I have experienced it myself as well after achieving the rank of a master…"

Lucy stopped and called out some Aura on his palm, his pretty fire-like red Aura, and closed his eyes for a moment before taking a deep breath.

"Now, though the skill discriminations say nothing about the Mana heart being capable of something like this, if I focus on my heart, control it to a certain point, harness the Mana in my heart, channel it throughout my body in a certain way and then, use that power to channel with my Aura…"

The blue mana became visible all over his body for a minute before starting to gather on his palm around the Aura and got sucked inside of it. And…

-Oooooooooooong.

"If I achieve a good enough harmony between both my Mana and the Aura, I can use the power of my Mana heart to do something like this."

He compressed the Aura-Mana on his palm and made it into a ball before throwing it in the air towards the ceiling.

-Boooooooooooom!

And, as soon as the small red-blue ball touched the ceiling, it exploded like some giant firework in the daytime, creating a spectacle of energies that could have killed some normal human if it had made contact with them.

"Wow…"

"Pretty."

"Someone can do that? Without actually using any skill?"

"This is magic. Tell me this is magic!"

What he did, well, it was nothing compared to what he could do with the same technique and skill application. And, if he used another one of his magic skills, like the [Elemental magic] then this same firework could turn into something that can entertain an entire kingdom at a time.

He knew this firework trick better than me actually. He was good at it.

"A-amazing…"

The teacher was flabbergasted at his demonstration, like, he was shocked and speechless at what to say about this.

'Poor little Villex. Well, he shouldn't ask us questions if we want to complicate his work in the future.'

Lucy showed them something they weren't supposed to learn until a few months into their curriculum. this teacher of ours never even considered talking about Mana heart, or Aura, or any other kind of energy, or, most importantly, how Mana could be mixed with the other kind of energies.

He wasn't planning to teach them something like that so soon in the first place, however, now that Lucy had demonstrated something like this… 𝗳𝐫𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"That was a good demonstration, Lucifer."

He had only two choices before him.

"I see you were indeed paying attention."

The first was to answer the student's questions and teach them how Lucy did that thing, and all the other questions related to that, which was something he wouldn't naturally do according to what we knew about his character.

"Then, does anyone else want to try demonstrating something that they had understood from this?"

And, the second thing that he would most likely do was to change the topic entirely and professionally avoid talking about it until the time to teach these things to them arrives.

"Oho. I see someone with an excited face, hun? Miss Agnes, was it? What do you want to demonstrate?"

He was good at what he did, but, one of his major flaws with him was that he liked doing things in the order he had already thought out about.

'He was the kind of person that stuck to his schedules and plans, so, Lucy knew he wouldn't bother the two of us after seeing something like this.'

We knew he would avoid us after this if he could and focus on the other students.

"I want to show everyone something my uncle taught me~!"

"Ah, and what that be?"

Ah, of course, Nes wasn't included in these other students.

"Yes~!"

She was more of a threat to his perfect schedule because of her innocence than the two of us. He knew it at this moment when she filled the entire classroom with unique shapes and colors of soap bubbles that were strong enough to not break even after pushing a finger in them by using only a simple [Water] skill of the most common kind.

She was a reincarnation like us but, she was far more troublesome because of her innocence as well as her abundant talents.

'She was good, curious, innocent, and, she will be a pain in the ass for many of the teachers during her time in this academy, hehehe.'

And, as her bestest friends, we are going to enjoy every moment of it~!
