Chapter 177 177 Yeah, sure.
[El's POV: ]
Lucy concluded his portion of the speech, his commanding voice leaving a profound impact on the audience. Their response was enthusiastic, and many in the crowd appeared utterly entranced by his presence. This level of engagement was entirely anticipated, considering his knack for delivering persuasive and captivating speeches on such occasions.
'I have seen him influence the population of an entire nation, the population of a planet, sometimes multiple planets and galaxies. This bastard can scam an entire kind if he really wants with his mere words so, even if I make a big mess and reveal important facts like him being a swordmaster, there's always a chance that he will make things right at the end of his own turn.'
He knows how to use words, perhaps that was the biggest reason he was able to last for so long with me the last time, my bastard darling.
[[ Master, why is everyone so surprised that he is a swordmaster? Are masters that rare in this world? ]]
[[ "Well, you can say that. This is a small place in this vast Worldline so there isn't much information about the scale and greater truths or the limitations of the Worldline. There are only a few ten masters on this planet, and, the swordmasters could specifically be counted on one hand." ]]
The fact that he was so young and still a master was a big thing for everyone exactly because even in the history of this world, this should be the first time that someone so young was able to achieve the rank of a master.
But more than the title of a master, which is pretty common actually, the fact that we possessed not one but two unique titles, one being a couple of titles, was an even more unbelievable thing.
'Even speaking on the worldline level, people with more than one unique title are a rare example. Cary and Anna perhaps had many unique titles but that was because they were some of the oldest creatures of this Worldline.'
They had many opportunities to do things that had never been done, however, even still, they were so amazing that the unique titles that they had unlocked for now, were something that was one of a kind. Something that not just any special creature of old times could possess.
The two of them are ancient beings, possess divinity, and, are our familiars. So, it was technically like two gods were companions of mere young mortals. Who could do something like this if not the two of us?
"El, Lu…"
Eva was emotional, I can feel that much, but, she was holding back her emotions pretty well.
She certainly had learned some good things from this bad bastard of mine.
"Brother Lucy~! I didn't know you were so amazing~!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEva was in good spirits, and our speech had concluded, so we descended back to the ground floor where our fellow students were waiting. Nes was there, having witnessed Lucy's remarkable display, and she was a mix of astonishment and excitement.
However, it was evident that my dear friend didn't quite grasp the significance of becoming a master in our world, displaying a certain degree of innocence and lack of understanding about the true weight of such an achievement.
"Oy, Nes, do you know why your brother Lucy is so amazing that everyone was so surprised?"
"Because his Aura could turn into butterflies and fly away~! I know only he can do it, hehehe. He's so amazing~!"
Yup. She certainly didn't know what it meant to be a master and what things happen when one becomes a master.
She was a cute one to not know something so basic, but considering she had lived with creatures that even those swordmasters would have a hard time hunting, the concept of power itself was different for her.
"You little squirrel… haaa..."
I patted her head with a helpless expression and looked back at the stage which was now overtaken by the vice principal once again and she was talking about the basic things regarding the academy. Things like the basic introductions that most of the people already knew and things that were already present in the student manual so Nes knew that as well, some of them at least.
'She's just stalling for time, waiting for the headmaster to come here and kick off the event. But, well, even this time pass that she's doing looks pretty attractive and professional.'
The students were still recovering from the impact our speech had caused however, some had already recovered and were doing exactly what Lucy hoped them to do-.
"Hello Lady Evaline."
An old but powerful voice spoke up from our left side and we turned around to find a pretty familiar old butler's face. A face we could not possibly forget.
"Hmmm? Oh, Sir Fang. What brings you here."
The person closest to Rex, someone that he cherishes far more than his own half-siblings. Someone who had served Rex's mother since she was younger and someone who stayed with Rex even after she passed away. Sir Fang Maxivilion Shi Ye, the third perfect butler of our game.
'Rex's mom's death is quite a tragic story actually. It's the whole reason he wants to kill that bastard emperor.'
If it wasn't for his mother's death, he could have been a completely different person and could have grown out to be someone who followed his father as one of his people, but, emperor, in the heat of his superiority, ended up making the worst mistake of his life, and, thanks to that death, his death was approaching him with each passing moment.
'But then again, there's a chance that Rex will become the world-ending factor for this world because of his hatred for that bastard so… the two of their relationship is quite a tricky one.'
However, it would mostly only happen when this person before us, Sir Fang, takes his last breaths in his arms.
'We will have to prevent that from happening if we want a proper climax to the upcoming imperial civil war. I want to torture that bastard myself again if I can but, that isn't happening for at least three years.'
Many of the things we wanted to do, things like the death of the pope, the establishment of a new religion, the founding of a new country, and the gathering of all the required Authorities before our ascension, all of it needed to wait for a while.
We will have to set a proper foothold, gather a proper team, and finish up all the other smaller tasks before we can say goodbye to this pretty place...
"Apologies for intrusion lady Evaline. However, as I asked you earlier, would it be possible for your masters to meet with mine?"
He was as polite as ever… haaa… seeing him dead stung my poor heart every time. Let's make sure he survives till the end of his lifespan in this turn.
"Your master? You mean his highness, right?"
He simply nodded at her and looked at us for the answer. Expecting a positive one of course. He has always been a unique optimist.
"El? Lu?"
Eva looked at us for the answer and Nes did as well. She did not know about this world much but she had met Rex and Cathy in the labyrinth so, she at least knew they were a special prince and princess duo.
I knew from the face she was making that she wanted to meet this prince. She was a little girl on the inside still, so, a prince of a fantasy land was still a new kind of entity for her… not that she cared about these things anymore but, she was still as curious as the little girl she was.
And, we were planning to meet them tomorrow morning anyway, so…
"Yeah, sure.
How does tomorrow morning sound? In our dormitory? Allow us to treat you to a humble meal." I asked with a smile, and stars appeared in Nes's eyes instantly.
She was excited already but hearing 'meal in our dormitory' made her even more excited. However, the same came off as something confusing to Sir Fang.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Your dormitory?"
"Yup. Any problem?"
"Ah… no. It would be alright. Just, give us the-"
"Floor number and room number, right? It will be 102nd floor. There's only one dorm that covers the entire floor so just tell the receptionist to send you there."
"Alright, thanks…"
He was hesitant a little bit, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary in our behavior though, and, thanked us before walking away.
And, right when he was a few steps away, I turned to the other side and spotted Alquea.
"Miss Alquea? Were you here on behalf of the princess?"
"Ah… how did you-"
"Well, I believe you heard what I told Sir Fang, right? We would love it if Princess would join us alongside Prince Morexis if it is alright with her."
"Ah, ummm, I don't think she would mine-"
"Superb. See you two in the morning. Oh, right, I request you bring your familiars. I would love having them with us."
"Hmmm? Isn't that a given that we would bring them?"
"Well… of course it is a given for most others, however, when it comes to your familiars, the special cases, it's questionable. I bet Cathy-, ah, I mean Princess was thinking of leaving her partner behind."
"Ummm… well… I mean…"
"Oh, it looks like the headmaster's here. How about we continue this tomorrow?"
Alquea was far more confused than Sir Fang. But, she was smart so, she didn't stop to question things and went away. Smart hottie.
Welp, all good though.
She was finished with the business she was here to take care of so there was nothing she had to do with us here, aside from chatting with us girls of course, and since we were some of the rare specimens that perfectly fit her liking list, she would love nothing more than just to scissor… ahem. I mean, no, like, she would love to chat and all but this was an official setting.
And, the headmaster was here already so, we all have to pay attention to what he was about to say…
