Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 70 Adventurer Association

[Lucy's POV: ]

The Adventurer's Association was a place that every person seeking freedom, experience, treasures, riches, and strength visited to start their journey and officially get recognized as an adventurer.

And, practically any adult or one with a recommendation from an experienced adventurer could become an adventurer.

Yes, one would have to go through some tests but they are mostly to test their strengths and abilities and give them an appropriate rank corresponding to their measured strength.

'There are guilds and stuff that's present in most of the fantasy MMORPGs, but it is just as everyone might already know about.'

The association though, was a central organisation. Calling it a global organization would also be true in this planet's case.

It was the most important place for an adventurer and since it was one of the few places in this world that granted one a golden opportunity to awaken and become an important part of this nature (get connected to the Worldline system), it was a place almost every person thought of joining at least once in their life.

'Or they thought of joining the academy and going through that difficult tests and get an even more solid chance to get connected to the system.'

In the academy, every once in a while throughout the three years, one received many opportunities to get strong and become that important part of nature.

But, the association was the simpler and better option so, it was preferred by the people that weren't confident in their strengths and abilities.

"So, this is the adventurer's association…"

Eva was astonished as soon as we entered the tall tower of the association and, she was almost emotional.

"Yes. And you will become an official adventurer today. A special one that your late father would be proud of."

El was on her right side so she held her right hand, and I grabbed her left one.

She wasn't just our caretaker or maid, but also a part of our family. And we knew what she had been through, so the fact that she was visiting the association for the first time, the place her late father belonged to, was certainly an emotional moment for her.

Even Nes could see the bitterness on Eva's face, but, there was also a smile that indicated she wasn't sad.

She was happy, she had let go of her dark past long ago and accepted herself for who she was now. And she liked this.

'No… she cherished what she had right now with all her heart and soul.'

"I'm alright Lu, El. And you too little Nes. I'm alright so don't you dare cry without any reason."

Seeing us like that even made our cute friend emotional.

She was a child when she left her previous world, she was in a dangerous forest for most of her life before she came here, but she still was sensitive to emotions, feelings, and affection.

Even more than the two of us I might say.

"Alright…"

She almost wiped the tears lingering on the end of her eyes and after nodding at Eva, El and I walked ahead to a certain counter with a pretty-looking elf receptionist.

'And no the receptionist wasn't a female elf. At least not this one.'

"How may I help you today, youngsters?"

He gave us a professional smile, and El mirrored that smile.

"We would like to take the license test, please. We are four people together so I request we have a separate test room too."

It wasn't like there weren't any female receptionists in this amazing-looking place.

There certainly were. Most of the receptionists here were pretty females with alluring aspects, however, this pretty-looking male elf with green hair and silver eyes was the best person there. And also someone close to the branch manager.

"Oh? You know about how things work, I see. Then you would also know that requesting a separate room-"

"Three gold, yes. Here. And we want you as our examiner. Here's three more gold for the specific examiner request and a little advanced tip for you."

She didn't want to beat around the bush and chat with this person.

She knew the little stop we took at Rik's cafe hindered our schedule a little so even if she wanted to have a loooooong chat with this pretty elf, she couldn't do it today.

"Oh? It is rare to see someone so generous that is also knowledgeable about the association's workings.

Alright, I heartily thank you for your generosity. Please wait a moment here and I will guide you to your testing area.

Right. Do any of you are connected to the-"

"All four of us are. So, please hurry."

She didn't even let him finish that question, and her answer was so natural that even he was surprised.

It surely was surprising for one to see someone that was connected to the Worldline system at such a young-looking age, and even rarer to see four people that were already connected to the Worldline system taking the adventurer's license test together.

"Yes."

But this male elf was a professional so he quickly nodded at her and walked away from the counter, leaving the two of us alone.

...

"Praise me." She ordered with a proud smile and I looked at her, confused.

It was out of the blue, and she wanted me to praise her… well, why not?

"…? H-hey!"

She wanted praise, so I patted her cute head. Something she showed she didn't like, but secretly loved.

"You wanted it because this place looks amazing, right?"

The association tower. Though situated in the common area of the capital, was a towering structure that was so tall that one could see it even far away from the city.

It was primarily a triangular structure, and at the top of it was a transparent prism that acted as the power collector and battery that powered this entire structure.

It absorbed natural Mana and energy from other sources to generate power and was an item belonging to the ancient civilization, and also the capital's association's most prized treasure.

'Though its actual body is far smaller than its visible size.'

The area before this tower was created into a big garden where anyone can play around or chant and meet with other adventurers and the interior of this association was no less modern than our previous world.

If anything, it looked even more modern and magical with all the magical screens floating around, and the marble that shined like a mirror, it looked spectacular.

'A miracle of magic and technology…'

"Obviously! You should kiss me, maybe lick me! But you mess with my head, my hair…?"

She was overacting again, almost trying to fool me with her alligator tears that came out of nowhere. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

"Is this how you should treat your hot little sister? Is this what I have taught you as your elder sister?"

And now she was saying those weird things…

"Haaa… shut up dummy. See, he's back already."

She was sometimes an unpredictable little girl. But thankfully, as soon as she goes into this childish mode, she knows when to come out and take up her original position.

"Apologise for the wait. Please, follow me."

He had respectful behavior towards us now. Probably he already talked with the branch manager and received instructions to keep an eye on us. Which, meant nothing actually so, we signaled Eva and Nes who were absorbed into the marvelous scenery before them, and followed the male elf receptionist towards the magic elevator.

"Wow…"

However, Nes was even more mesmerized by all of this.

The association tower, was in fact, a tower. So, there were only two ways to climb up to more than a hundred floors of this place.

'The stairs connecting each of the floors individually and the transparent magic elevator in the middle of this building.'

It worked differently from the traditional elevators that we knew about. And was powered by Mana.

There were a total of eight smaller ones around a large one that could fit three times the people these smaller elevators could.

And when this friend of ours was so excited to see them from the outside, one could only imagine how excited she would be when we were inside one of them and were going up.

-Ting!

"33rd floor please."

There was a lift operator, and there were no buttons here. The operator channelled some Mana in the crystal ball in the middle of the lift to go to different floors, and, it sure was quite something to see this process.

'But I'm still more excited to ride the [Elevator of universes].'

There was also a unique elevator that lets one travel through different Worldline areas, but, we aren't leaving this part of Worldline anytime soon.

-Ting!

"Thank you, sir."

The receptionist bowed lightly to the lift operator after we came out and after nodding back, the lift went away again.

"Alright. So, we will first do the written test, then the stat test, then the practicals. I believe you already know the detailed procedure but tell me if you want to know about anything."

It was time for the test, this time, actually. The written test would be pretty easy since most of the questions there would be of general knowledge, but, we would answer all of them, including the ones none had been able to do so for the last few decades.

Then there was a stat test that would be conducted with good artifacts… and then the last test inside an artificial dungeon.

It would be pretty fun there, but, I knew from the smile El had right now… she was going to have fun with these 'cute' association people.
