Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 161 The corridor

[OP: ]

The two of them finished their talk with the headmaster shortly, looked around the headmaster's office for a moment, and were teleported back to the garden area where they had vanished from.

"The dorms are that way…"

"Yes…"

There was a strange awkwardness between the two of them at the moment, and, they both seemed calmer than usual on the surface.

[[ Oy master. What happens to you all of a sudden? ]]

[[ One feels like the two of them have something important going on in their minds. Let us not disturb them Cary. ]]

Their familiars didn't understand the strange actions of their masters.

One moment they were perfectly fine and normal and were doing well with the headmaster and stuff but now, they were doing something so strange?

They couldn't understand their actions. But as Anna said, it was better to leave the two of them alone for the moment.

The garden of six seasons, the spring area where the spring prevailed all year around. There was a cool breeze of night flowing in the area. The sounds of night dominated the land like usual. The two moons in the sky were watching the beings of Earth, smiling down at them, envying their freedom.

The stars were colorful and small in this dark night sky, there was a strange silence in the area, and the scent of fresh earth and nature around them possessed a mystical power to calm the hearts and soothe the soul. However… for some unknown reason, these magical powers were not working on the two of them.

They walked with each other on their sides, and their breathing calmed like usual, however, their heartbeats were quickened. Their souls were restless. Their eyes were shaking, perhaps indicating the sea of thoughts going on in their minds at the moment.

The hearts that are usually calm even in the face of death were roaring so vigorously that if someone stood before them, they would be able to hear the two heartbeats that harmoniously resonated with each other, rang together in a melodious manner, and sang a certain song of… excitement.

-Tap. Tap. Tap.

There were many things going on their minds right now and one of them, no, nearly all of these thoughts were about a certain kind of action.

They were excited, relieved, happy, sad, angry for some reason, and breathless for some other.

However, they were alert as well, especially El.

She was on guard, ready to react to any kind of unexpected change happening around her.

She had heightened her senses with her Mana and was constantly using [Parallel minds] to keep many different variables in check.

She was prepared to even go against a mosquito if he dared to come near them at this moment.

She didn't want anything to happen right now. She had something she must do, so, she couldn't let anything happen and give her bustard the opportunity that he had been looking for all this while.

They were in a constant struggle and, even as they reached the tall tower-like structure that functioned as the dormitories of the academy situated in the middle part of the spring and winter area of the garden, they were the same.

"Hello~. Where would like to go, dear top-ranking students~?"

The dormitory tower was a unique place that was so tall that from the ground, it wasn't possible to see the end of it.

Even seeing from some other part of the campus, this power would still seem endless however, the two of them already knew most there was to know about this tower as well as the lady who greeted them as soon as they entered the gorgeous reception room of the ground floor.

"Hello to you too, Kaplan. Can you please send us to our floor? Ah, and, we heard Nes is on the same floor as us. Can you please separate our room to an empty floor?"

She was the sole manager of this entire tower, an administrator would be the better way to explain her role. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑐𝑜𝘮

She was an original dragon, but it was a fact that perhaps not even most of the teachers in this place knew at this point. And, she was special as well. It wasn't an easy task to handle a unique tower whose actual function was something entirely different from being a normal dormitory for the students.

"Oh? The room and floors will be arranged, however, as for student Agnes…"

Her hair was orange like the sunset on the shore, her eyes a dark green that resembled the outer walls of this tower, and she was wearing a very pretty dress that was perhaps even prettier than what some of the teachers had worn during the familiar summoning ceremony this afternoon.

She looked gorgeous, however, the complicated expression on her face was enough for them to know something was wrong.

-Tap. Tap. Tap.

And, they knew what was wrong when they heard those familiar footsteps coming this way from the stairs on the left side going to the first floor.

"Oh hell. Not right now…"

"Kaplan! Quick! Send us to our floor! Quick!"

"I can't do that, student Auriel. The procedure-"

"Fuck the procedure. You and I both know the two of us don't have to follow the procedure!"

"Hmmm? What do you-"

[Ding!]

They knew these calm, a little tense, worried footsteps belonged to none other than their dear friend Nes.

They knew encountering right now would waste at least an hour or so.

And, they didn't have that kind of time. They didn't want to spend whatever little while they had left before that inauguration ceremony thing chatting and listening to her complain, her cries, and yelling.

They wanted to be alone for now, they wanted a moment of piece.

Encountering her right now would make it nearly impossible. At the very least, they wouldn't have the same kind of enthusiasm that they had at this certain moment.

They wanted to get away however, the receptionist here was adamant about following the rules which, didn't actually apply to them.

"Oh, apologies. I didn't know about this until now."

Their achievements within the academy until now had given them access to many things and freedom from many of the rules and protocols that the academy imposed very strictly.

They didn't have to follow the usual procedures here as well, however, the receptionist did not know about it until the screen that popped up before her just now informed her of it.

"Send us away!"

El was in a hurry once again. She was prepared for a surprise 'attack' but this whole situation made things difficult but she didn't want to lose the chance this time.

She was desperate…

"Very well."

-Snap!

And Lucy was relatively calmer and quieter all this while.

-Oooooooooooooong!

So, when the two of them vanished from that place after her snap, and Nes appeared in this room, she was clueless about the things that had happened here a moment ago.

"Hello, miss… were Auriel and Lucifer here just now?"

"Hello, student Agnes. Yes the two of them were here a while before but they seemed to be tired. They went back to their rooms right after. I suggest you let them rest for a while since you all will be meeting during the inauguration anyway."

"Hmmm? They were tired…?"

She was confused for a moment, however, the look of worry she had on her face was relieved after receiving confirmation about their return.

"Alright. It's good they are at least alright. Hmmm. Ok. Lady Kaplinikian, can you please send me to my floor as well?"

"Of course, student Agnes. Don't forget to change into a pretty dress~."

-Snap!

She vanished as well, leaving this hall and the receptionist all by herself once again.

"Haaa. What a bunch of nuisances. Disturbed whole fucking flow, tsk."

And since the receptionist, the gatekeeper of this planet's 'elevator' had nothing to do for now, she called out the ball of wool and needles and continued her knitting.

She had no interest in whatever these children did anyway but, it was her work that bound her to this place and made her act the way she did… well, that was how she was.

"Oy, we are here…"

Back in the corridor.

"That we are."

They stood in the long corridor with red carpet under their feet, green walls that contained paintings with golden frames, and some small decorations that made the corridor seem endless.

They were the only ones in this place and since the dorm rooms of this place were always the same in the beginning, they didn't have any interest in checking what was inside there. They knew everything already.

"When are you going to make the move then, hun, my naughty Lucy darling?"

They stood beside each other, looking at the other one with a wildly beating heart, dry throat, hungry lips, and an anxious soul.

"Why would I tell you that, now miss? What would be the whole point of this whole thing we are doing if I do that?"

He was smiling warmly at her, which was making her feel more restless, he knew that very well.

However, she wasn't just standing there either.

Her one hand was on his chest, moving gently down his hard chest, down to the rock-hard abs that he had cultivated with his years of efforts, and down to the part even below them…

She knew what she was doing physically while looking straight into his eyes, while he knew what he was doing by his mere gaze that wasn't even flinching even after her seductive touch.

"Tell me when you are going to do it so that I can intercept you and beat you up instead."

Their breathing was gradually becoming heavy, they were both at their limits. They wanted to just dive in now that the moment had arrived, however, they knew just one mistake… and they will be losing one of the most important battles of this life of theirs.

"You will beat me up? With this lousy focus of yours?"

A smirk appeared on his face just when her hand had reached his groin. He was waiting for this exact moment and the moment had come, at last.

"What-…?!"

His smirk surprised her however, even before she could react, he moved twice faster than her reaction speed, grabbed her hand, took up the other one alongside that one, and pinned both her hands on the wall.

"You lose this time as well, darling."

A smirk she did not like was on his face… and she knew at this moment, the scenario she was expecting the least, had become reality in this moment.
