Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 88 The garden of six seasons
Chapter 88 88 The garden of six seasons
[El's POV: ]
The academy was a place shrouded in mysteries. People didn't know much about the things that happened here since no one was allowed to talk about the happenings of this pretty place in the outside world.
The information was strictly controlled by the authorities and the headmaster so the normal people who had never attended the academy always possessed this strange fantasy that the academy was a totally unique world from what they knew.
( "Trees with abundant fruits grew in the vast garden outside, the main building of the academy was a castle far bigger and grander than the imperial palace itself, there was a vast lake on one side, a grassland on the other side, a rocky area with mountains on the other side, while a place covered in snow on the other.
A part of it experienced spring for all the time while another part experienced fall for all year long." )
Those were the funny rumors circulating all around the world about this place, and these rumors, different from the usual winds carrying exaggeration, were quite true in this case.
'If anything, they are milder than the reality.'
We stood inside the academy for the first time in this life but, this surely wasn't our first time in this pretty place. However, the same wasn't true for the other participants around us.
"Wow…"
"Damn. This is…"
"Is that snow? It's snowing over there?"
-Skeeeeeeeeeeesh.
The gates behind us closed after they confirmed all of the people were inside, and those who had entered were all now standing before another open area, but different from the last city square, this place was a giant garden.
[ "It's nostalgic." ]
[ "Sure is. Can't wait to go to our favorite place and f-." ]
[ "Same." ]
The great academy was divided into three major parts. The [Garden of six seasons] we were standing on, the [Outskirts of natural resources] situated behind all the entrance gates to this academy, and lastly, the giant castle in the middle that we could see from anywhere inside these gates, the [Black castle of Wisdom].
'All of this is situated in a different dimensional pocket that even though mainly is present in the capital city, is a space independent from the outside.'
These gates work as a kind of space portal, a dimensional gate that leads one to this specific location, so what we see outside is mostly just an illusion. A fact not even the emperor knows about.
It was fun creating this place and when it was getting created, they used… and the structure was then… they used magic from the old times, some things related to the ancient civilizations in the creation of the core... used hyperspace particle systems… and though the headmaster got voluntary help from some other beings of this world when creating this, he mostly created this entire space by himself.'
[ "…El? Did you just go through a lot of things in your mind?" ]
"Hmmm? Yes?"
I looked beside me and the little unwell look of my darling caught my attention.
[ "Hey, hey. What happened?" ]
[ "I… don't know actually. I felt like you recalled a lot of information at once, including some of the restricted things that even though are available to you, are still not outwardly allowed to me.
I had that weird little headache we get after somehow forcefully unlocking the 'top secret' information. It even bypassed the six walls." ]
I can feel what kind of weird feeling he was talking about through our connection and also what he meant by those words as well, something I doubted would happen.
[ "I knew this might happen but, looks like our link skill is even better than we had thought, or, it probably got better when I got my title.
It can now even pass the restricted information unlike before, but since you don't have the proper authority to know that, it doesn't pass through the subconscious mind and you get that headache.
Sorry… I will keep doing it if you don't mind." ]
There were a few 'restricted' things one of us knew that the other did not and, one got the 'penalty' of the system if we shared the information we did not have proper authority for.
It was like the Worldline telling us it was fine if we knew but sharing that information even between us wasn't something it could allow. Petty cutie.
'We called these restricted things 'top secrets' that we couldn't even tell each other even if we wanted to. At least, not by normal means.'
But that was before this point. Now that I know we can do this…
The formation of Headmaster…
[ "Oyyyy!!" ]
"Hehehehe."
I can torture him in a new way~.
-Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish.
"Oh? Looks like there are more dumb idiots this time around heh?" A new adult male voice rang throughout the surroundings.
Everyone was admiring my great garden of six seasons, the place where one can experience all six seasons throughout the years.
It was a special space and six areas of the garden were divided equally into six parts with the black castle as its center.
We were standing in the area where it was always spring, on our right side was the area where it was always winter, and on the left side, the area with a blazing hot sun almost burning everything present there.
The area on our opposite side was a barren land of autumn, between summer and it was the place with dark clouds, the place where it rained all the time in different intensities, and the last place was the area with pre-winter, the place with our favorite place.
'Pre-winter zone was a special place for us, I really don't like how I have to do this description shit, and the person that had materialized before us with a gust of wind, our first instructor for this test, was a cute birdy, nothing like this new bastard using all of his powers to make me say stuff that he wanted.'
He was guest of a few days anyway, just like the previous one.
.-- . / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / ... . . / - .... .- -
"Alright youngsters, listen up."
He was a muscular Man with green hair, looked hot, and possessed a peacock tail. Which was enough of a description he needed, right?
In the giant garden of six seasons filled with thousands of people, he was standing on a platform that had materialized upon his arrival. His classic blue eyes were scanning the personnel here, stopping for a brief moment on some special individuals like us. He was observing everything and everyone, which finished pretty quickly.
"As you should have already heard from the headmaster's briefing, there are three parts to your exams.
The written test you will give after a little while, the practical exam, and the familiar summoning afterward.
They will be difficult tests and most of you will be eliminated in the first two exams, so only the best will reach the familiar summoning.
If you fail there, it wouldn't mean you have to go out of the academy without your memories of this place, but, if you do fail in the first two tests, you are clearly out.
Still, to give any of these three exams, you will need a special thing."
-Snap!
He smiled lightly and snapped his fingers, and at the same time, a familiar voice rang in all our heads.
[Granting temporary system connections.]
[Connecting to the local private system.]
[Generating the temporary status window.]
It was the female system voice that we were pretty familiar with. And just as it stated, the academy granted everyone a temporary system connection before the tests, ultimately giving them a taste of what it actually meant to be connected to the system.
'As a result of this temporary connection, many students later become ready to permanently connect to the Worldline system, a free boon to all the courageous fuckers who at least are mentally strong enough to attend this test.'
But it was a rare occasion, so people were always uncertain of it.
[Error. Error. You are already connected to the system.]
[Directly connecting to the local private system.]
[Granting a temporary subspace.]
[Granting a temporary item identification lense.]
But, those who were already connected to the system were in an undeniably advantageous position.
They didn't need this half-assed temporary connection, which ultimately meant they could use all their powers granted by the connection, the stats enhancements, and, if they had, their dimensional merchants as well.
The temporary connection only granted a fraction of what the system actually was, the reason few in the world had access to it. And I was in an even more advantageous position with my unique title.
'Hehehe.'
The test started with this, we had to give a tough exam of twenty-five extremely difficult questions from all kinds of fields, the ones that would check these answers was the voice of the world itself so the answers of all kinds were going to be judged on a unique basis, and even though the contents of the answer themselves didn't really matter here, the way one answered them sure did.
'One can pass without even attending a single question while some might fail even with somewhat correct answers to all questions. Hehehe, a written test to test their wills.'
The way the voice of the world judged the answers was unique, so, when the test ended, I couldn't help but get excited to see just what kind of answers they all would write for their questions.
'Kekeke, but before that, the more fun thing was up next.'
"Alright, everyone. Prepare to die for a moment."
A very sudden surge of powerful force burst out from him, and most people who were standing fine just a moment ago lost consciousness and fell to the ground...
-Dhum. Dhum. Dhum. Dhum.
-Swiiiiish...
"Oh? Some are still up? Well, it's the same process for everyone. We gotta do our work so, you special guys go sleep as well."
Some people were still standing, and these still conscious people were blessed with a pretttttttttty sight.
-Oooooooooong!
The instructor with only a peacock tail started floating, a cyan light covered him entirely, a gorgeous process happened and, he revealed his original form.
[ "Good luck to you all." ]
Akadia. He was an awakened holy beast, a creature of <SSS> rank, someone I would love to present my darling as a birthday gift. But, he was strong and not much into me for now, which will certainly change soon, but that soon was a little while away. 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
'But it will be worth it…'
He had revealed his true form, and just seeing that majestic form, that gorgeous appearance containing enough power to make even the two of us lose consciousness, was something I couldn't help but want.
'It was pretty, something we would use as a bed to fuck on, so, he would be one of the important things we would love to have from this academy.'
And I will have him… for sure… I will have him as my personal pillow…
[ "See you, darling. Haaa…" ]
[ "Take care, haaa… and don't write, so complicated things that... the world fails to understand it all." ]
[ "He… hehe… of… course." ]
We lost consciousness, were teleported to a unique space, and this sudden and strange event, marked the beginning of a test that was going to continue for a pretttttttty long time.
'Which would obviously be fun, for us, for me, at least. Kekeke.'
