Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 182 182 The dormrooms

[Lucy's POV: ]

We finished our dinner and after a little chat with our new acquaintance, I left the venue with Nes and El.

Eva needed to stay there till the end but she was alright by herself. She knew her work as the official Helper of the academy. And, she knew where to find us after she was done here, so, she will come there after she is finished with her work.

That was that, she knew how to take care of herself, but, this sister of mine, certainly had no idea how to take care of herself.

"Your hair is a mess again, look at that dress, it's having fun hugging the floor, no? And you drank too much. You reek of alcohol. Which is dangerously attractive, but, not at the same time."

"Hehehe-hiccup! You are a bastard Lucy~. A bastard~."

And she was acting as well. She really was in the mood for playing around now that we had the entire night all for ourselves, hun?

"Ummm-ahhhh-ummm… brother Lucy? Will El be alright?"

"She IS alright. She's just acting. She is having fun playing around like this, Nes. Don't worry about her."

"Hehehehe-Oyyyy bastard~. What are telling my Nes~. Hiccup! I know what you are talking about, alright~. Hehe, you pervert bastard~!"

"Shut up you dummy."

She liked doing this. Why did she like doing this?

'Her alcohol tolerance is greater than a high Dwarf's at the moment. She could outdrink a normal dragon if she wants to in a drinking game. And, even after being drunk, her sharp brain will process all there is around her just as sharply as she would when she is perfectly in her sane mind.'

But, even after drinking a little, she acts as if she is drunk, and strangely, her acting becomes better when there is alcohol in her system. Strange, actually… very strange.

"Alright. We are back."

Before the dorm tower or the 'alleviator' of this planet, with her clinging on to me and Nes walking beside me on the other side, the three of us entered the building and a familiar reception hall graced us, along with the pretty receptionist who, well, was playing with a ball of silk.

"Oh? There really are many people back earlier, hun? Is the party that boring or are you all just too tired?"

She put the silk ball back in her storage space as soon as she saw us and greeted us with a professional smile, which was fake obviously, she didn't like it when people intruded when she was starting another one of her knitting projects.

"We couldn't say for others, but, for us, it would be the latter one. The day was long and the tests were tiring.

I know we are intruding and disturbing you when it seemed you were doing something important-"

"Lucyyyyyy~. Muha~."

She kissed me on the cheeks and then, leaned over me and kissed Nes' forehead as well. And then she returned back to her senseless laughing.

"…but we would be grateful to you if you could just finish the processing for the private dorms we want."

She looked at El with a strange expression, trying her best to not reveal her true emotions, but, I just shook my head at her when she was looking at me for the answers to what the hell my sister was doing! And that one negative nod was more than enough for her to understand there was nothing logical about whatever she was doing or something that she should pay attention to.

"Of course. Just tell me what dorms you would like, I will check a few things and you can have the keys right away."

"Keys?"

The receptionist was still in her professional smile so when she said 'keys', Nes was confused a little since the dorms we had stayed in did not have anything like a lock that a 'key' could fit in.

They were magical doors with a magical lock system, and there was no talk about the 'keys' in the speech by the headmaster either.

'He sure had talked about the dorms and the details of 'personal' dorms but, there was no talk about them being some normal places that would require a key.'

She must have thought that the keys we were talking about were the normal key-like things that would fit into a lock or a keyhole… well, not all keys were as simple as that in this world.

I was just about to explain to her what the key she was talking about was, but, El, once again broke free from my grasp and hugged Nes' making her forget the question she had just asked.

"Hehehe, my dear dear Nessy~. Do you want to sleep with your amazing pretty friend again~? We will have looooooots of fuuuuuuun together~!"

"Now that's enough El. Behave for a moment or else we will have to rethink about the things that we were thinking about for the night."

She was a difficult one to handle.

I really don't know just how there are times when she could be such a handful one while at the same time being the most reliable person in the entire worldline in some certain situations.

"Ahem. Alright. Finish whatever you were doing in three minutes. You have two minutes and fifty-six seconds."

She would have just continued her acting if I hadn't threatened her like that. But thankfully, thanks to her sudden hug, Nes was in a completely stunned state. She couldn't understand the things that were going on around her now so, we were free to finish the process itself.

'Her mindless actions saved us the trouble of a long explanation about the 'keys' of the special dorm rooms.'

Anyway…

I looked back at the receptionist before me and nodded lightly.

"We will have floor 102. And for Nes, can you please check if anything in the customizable section is available? Don't worry about the costs."

"Of course, there's nothing to worry about the costs. What can you not buy with a million points in this unique space?

However, even if there are some selections arable for the custom section, the floor above the hundredth is off limits to the students, you know that, right?"

"Of course, we know that. But the two of us have a (tier-6) Special clearance as you should have been notified about, right?"

"Hmmm? What? (tier-6)? How's that possible? Even I only have a (tier-3) special clearance. Are you for real?"

She was shocked and confused as well.

It wasn't in her nature to question the words of a student, she had perhaps rarely done it in her three thousand years of job as the Gatekeeper of the [Tower of Ascension].

However, she questioned what we had just said, which meant the system of the academy forgot to inform her of the new hierarchy of special clearance in this academy.

"Here. You can see for yourself. Mine alone should be enough, right?"

I took out the metallic blue card I got as a reward for my achievements and placed it before her.

"Wow…"

Slowly picking the card up with a surprised look, observing it with her glowing eyes, and after confirming the authenticity of the card, and checking her own data logs, she returned the card back to me.

"So you aren't some normal student but instead someone with a higher authority than me? Should I call you two sir and madam from now on?"

"Haha, there is no need to do such a thing. We are only normal students of the academy so, even with these things, we aren't 'technically' in a higher position than you.

Besides, we like being perceived as normal students. I wish to keep it that way."

She had employed a time-stopping barrier in this room as soon as I brought up the special clearance so, after that point, Nes had been frozen and El was… licking her fingers… let's not look at that weirdness.

"Keke-ahem. 'Normal' students is quite a far-fetched idea you two have there. But, who am I to care about such things."

-Snap.

With a smile on her face, she dismissed her barrier, and Nes came back to her senses and saw how El was… licking her, and a strange chill ran down all over her body.

"El."

"Yes, yes. I was just licking the sweetness of her fingers. Who knows what might happen if some bug gets their dirty teeth on her."

She was clearly warning AJ, who was secretly lurking around in some corner of this room.

He was good at what he was doing but, she could smell out even the scent of a drop of blood, so, sensing that bastard who swims in blood every day was a pretty easy task for her.

But still, licking fingers? Creepy…

"Alright, you two. Floor no.102. Will be a hundred and fifty thousand points for one month but from what I can see, you two can have that place for a year if you pay a million points in full. So, three million for three years. Nice deal I would say.

Some of the vice headmasters used that room in the past but since the current vice headmaster fancies the hundred and fifth floor, the hundred and second has been all free for a few hundred years now.

And, you dear. Tell me what you want your room to look like so that I can change it according to that.

And don't hold back.

This brother of yours is quite rich, you see."

I nodded at the offer she was talking about since I already knew all there was to know about this whole thing and also confirmed her assumption of me being rich, but, Nes was in the dark here.

She did not understand what she was saying but, from the way she said it, she at least understood she could not live with us as she used to.

But she was fine anyway.

It wasn't like we would live in some totally different places.

She was just a few floors below us and she was free to come by anytime she wanted.

It would be her place as well, just that she will have to go back to hers when… yeah. Well, we also needed some alone time now.

"Ummm… can I have the same place I had during the theory exam?" She asked for just the one I knew she would, the place she was the most comfortable with, the place she had grown up in.

"Let me check real quick, sweetly."

And, truthfully, it wasn't that difficult of a request.

"Umm-hmm. Okay? Yes… alright. Looks pretty simple. You know what? I will make it a little better."

Then Miss receptionist started doing something on the three golden screens before her, and continued with it for three minutes, with a few different expressions, and, when she was done, she nodded while looking at the screens with a smile.

"Alright, all done. Here you go, everyone. These are the keys.

You can go to your rooms directly from anywhere around this tower and come back to this lobby as well.

You can access to a few different functions of your dorm rooms as well, so, look through the things and ask me if you have any questions."

She placed her hand right inside the screens before her and took out three rings from inside it.

"Thank you. Oh, we will be expecting some guests tomorrow morning so please permit them entry to the floor."

"I will do so. And, here. The total."

A new screen appeared before me that, was a bill. And the total amount was a little over three and a half million, which was alright.

We had good enough points and a very impressive point treasure chest as well so when Raz opens it, the points will come to us ultimately.

"Haaa… here."

[You have just spent a large amount of points at once! Achievements found!]

[You have spent a hundred thousand points for the first time! Achievements have been found!]

[You have spent more than a million points at once! Achievements have been found!]

[All achievements will be recorded into achievements logs and the rewards could be collected at will later.]

Those were the academic system's notifications. And the achievements it was talking about, were pretty good actually.

'They give Oz in exchange for using the points that we practically got for free as well as some other good and normal things.'

But, well, we will not be collecting these achievements anytime soon. Not until we get all the achievements and the special achievements that we could get the special hidden achievement.

"So, Nes? Wanna go to yours first or ours?"

"Hehehe~. Hiccup! Let us go to Nes' place~! Hehe, and, oy, Kaplan~. Gimme a kissy~."

El was again going to assault another person, but before she could do so, with a contagious heart, Nes grabbed her and my hand, and, used the group transfer function of her key.

And, thankfully, we vanished from that place before that dragon receptionist got angry at her behavior.

"Haaa… two strange humans who might not actually be human at all, and, a half-blood fairy that has the power of the null element.

They are gonna be a pain in the ass, haaa…

And you, pervert bloodsucker. I don't like having people sneaking around and eavesdropping like that. So, this is the first warning.

Remember, the third warning will be the last."

I heard her say that before we had vanished. And El did as well. Which made her laugh, in yet another unique, and strange way.
