Chapter 172 172 Ethan: A unique spirit
172 172 Ethan: A unique spirit [El's POV: ]
[{ "Hehe, yup, as you can sense, this little one is a special spirit." }]
Ethan was a special being, a very special one if I said so myself.
There were many things that made him unique, however, his origin itself, his birth, and the way and the place he was born in made him even more unique.
[{ "Do you two know Paquancial land? The spirit realms in the Worldline area #222333LL?" }]
Lucy asked them while I, as well as all the other students in the room who had rearranged their thoughts and had come back to their senses, looked at the creature that floated before Nes. A ball of light that shined with a colorful light.
This was her Ethan, the special spirit that was not actually entirely a spirit.
[{ Hmmm? Master? Why could one be bringing up the name of such a place at the moment? That place is infamous for its stupidity. }]
[{ "Because Ethan is the one that will liberate that fate-forsaken place from the misery it has been under for many millennia now. He's the offspring of Garry and the 'useless' daughter of Plutium." }]
[{ What? What the hack? }]
"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!"
"Oh?! Really?! You think so as well, right? The two of them are cute and amazing~! Lady Anna will teach me something that will help me get stronger as well~. We should thank her~!"
"Shiiiiiiiiiin~!"
Ethan is a special being that is very rare throughout the Worldline, and, his background actually makes him one of a kind in this Worldline, just like my dear Nes.
"Hehe, hello Ethan. It's nice to meet you~!"
"Shiiiiiiiiin~!"
He's a spirit, a half spirit to be more precise however, different from most half spirits existing in the Worldline, this one is a half spirit with a spiritual body instead of a physical one.
His mom, in the world he came from, was a human, a child of the strongest being of that world with a physical body, and, his father was one of the few spirit kings of this entire Worldline.
'He has an interesting background, one of the most interesting if I say so myself.'
[{ Alright… one understands the situation before one a little.
This child is the offspring of the child of Duke Plutium and Garnelious of six cardinal elements.
One must have kept the secret of this child between themselves and raised one in order to become the key to end the eternal war that has been going on in that part of the Worldline.
On one certain sunny day, he was summoned here to be the familiar of this special half-blood child and with that, the two of them came together.
Hmmm. One understands the situation, however, one could not understand why this child and that child are a match for each other.
Yes, both possess the power of a null element, however, he is a being born from all the elements while, on the other hand, she looks to be a being born to resist all the other elements.
Just… who is she? }]
Anna was curious and confused. She wanted to know Nes's identity which was actually even more complicated than Ethan's.
'The two of them are a perfect match to be one another's familiar for the reason they resemble each other so much that it's impossible for there to be any other match as perfect as theirs.'
Ethan.
He was the offspring of the daughter of a [{( Duke )}] of the Worldline, technically the highest achievable rank of the Worldline. His father was a [Spirit king] of all six cardinal elements. And, the world he had come from… despised the other spices with all their passionate souls.
The spirits despised humans, the humans loathed the spirits.
The two kinds were in a constant war and even though both existed in different realms, the barriers of worlds did not matter to these two kinds.
'The concept of spirits and humans and this whole world thing is different in that part of the worldline, so, putting it all in simple words, that place is fucked up.'
In a world where the humans killed spirits every single day without much of any reason, and, where the spirits denied the humans the power of elements in their magic, while killing these dirty filths at the same time the way they killed their kind.
A place where inter-dimensional wars happen on a regular basis, a place where the spirits loath humankind, and a place that is famous for their consent wars with the other kind.
'Ethan is the child born from the forbidden love of two major authority figures of that world.'
A spirit king as his father and his mother being the daughter of the supreme monarch of that world.
He who has escaped that place, he who now resides with the one similar to him in a way, he who is destined to go back to where he had come from, the one who carried the fate of two kinds of their world, that is Ethan. The joyful spirit of true emotions.
'His parents… they didn't like this whole animosity between two races, so, when they met accidentally, they understood each other, fell in love, and continued being together for a while, however, his mom was greedy so, as a result of their love, ultimately, Ethan came to existence.'
They tried their best to protect him, keeping him away from the world, and, the two of them were relieved when the summoning circle of this distant world came for him, baring the news that somewhere in this worldline, a being that is the perfect one to be his partner, is calling for him.
'They looked at the situation at that time, confirmed that the person calling for him was also as special as him, and, they let him go. With a heavy heart and for his own good, they let him go.'
Though, fate would bring him and his new master back to that place, and, they would liberate the two kinds from the wars that had been going on for eons.
'And we will be there, with them, with our dearest first friend, and, someone who will do something similar to him one day. Though, on a different scale.'
I looked at the ball of light floating before her playing with Ash, Cary, and Anna. Lucy was observing him with a smile, and, though the others in this place did not see the two of them as somewhat special, they sure thought the two were a uniquely special pair.
[{ "My lovely little Nes… her name is Agnes B. Catherine, daughter of the ruler of [{( Red Hearts )}] and <<Oblivion's apostle>>, Granddaughter of <<Northern twin stars>>, and the Great granddaughter of <<Great lord of seven spectral realms>>.
She's a special one, born with the fate of 'unification'.
She's the holder of some of the purest legacies existing in the Worldline, a legitimate successor of countless 'storylines', and one of the purest, perhaps most unfortunate beings we will come across on our journey…" }]
Nes… she had countless things she had yet to find out about herself, the purpose of her existence, and, why she was in the deadly forest of this planet when she first realized it.
'She is destined for greatness, however, that is only when she gets past the unfathomable trials presented before herself. Which, unfortunately, she could only do one in a hundred times in the game.'
have to address the whole of the student body.

'It doesn't matter to me what most of them do or feel or think about us, but, well, for a good enough She has died most of the time in the game even without seeing the leftover family that had raised her, her family in the forest…
'Well, she is the one with some of the worst possible endings in this world. However, those who bear great fates, are also presented with trials of equal difficulty on each step of their lives. Overcoming them grants them greater powers, and failing to overcome them, results in their demise.'
Welp, she doesn't have anything to worry about this time though.
[{ "Nes is also our first friend of this world, this life, so, she's nothing less than a family, a cute little sister for us. A sister that we will protect, look after, and watch from the sidelines when it is her time to shine." }]
All six protagonists of this world carry great fates that will result in the creation of many 'storylines', many 'Epics' even. However, every one of them would be independent of each other in a unique way, sometimes connected, but individually unique.
Nes has the most unique background, Lux has the most unique relationship with the Worldline, and Cathy shares the fate of countless other beings in this Worldline. On the other hand, Ras is the one bearing the most unique character, Rex possesses the most unique mind and the point of view of this world that will give hope to countless unique ones like him in the future, and lastly, AJ…
'Well, that bastard is a strange one. Depending on the life he has in this school, he might become the worst enemy of every one of us, or, the best ally we could depend on… fuck that bastard! He's the anomaly that even I couldn't predict the mind of!'
Ughhhh!
AJ's a bastard but we will undoubtedly have to deal with him soon.
'He already has eyes on me and Nes. Even on Eva. But mostly on the two of us.'
I saw him earlier, and he seemed to be feeling something after seeing us, which is a big thing from his as well as our perspective.
"Haaaa…"
"Hmm? El? What happened?"
"She's not ready for the speech. Addressing a group that we were trying to defeat not long ago does not feel comfortable to her. Right El?"
"Yes…"
He knew why I was sighing but, well, nice save.
"I like giving speeches but, this is just not the way I like it to be."
The inauguration ceremony was about to start and as the ones in the first place, the two of us will have to address the whole of the student body.
'It doesn't matter to me what most of them do or feel or think about us, but, well, for a good enough position in this school, I will have to make it digestible.'
My Lucy bastard was expert at lying through his teeth but, in situations like this one…
'Yes, it will be a little difficult.'
