Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 74 74 Accidental destruction

[El's POV: ]

-Bam!

It was a quick punch, so the force absorbed by the crystal was gathered on the display and a clear <AAA> appeared.

And yes he was surprised by that much, but, something weird happened after that.

The crystal strangely glowed with colorful light, and even more strangely, it started cracking from the inside.

And different from how it was just obliterated after Nes's punch, the crystal shattered into fine dust this time.

"Oops. Looks like I made a mistake this time."

It was a lie, of course, all of them here except Nes knew it, but Levi still had the same shocked reaction he had a while before.

And this time, disbelief was also mixed into it.

The screen was showing a strength of <AAA> level. And, from what he knew until a while ago, I was a mage rather than a weapon wielder.

Still, a strength of <AAA>… well, it was a pretty good rough estimation.

"Lucy~. Your turn~."

There was no reason to actually destroy things here. I just wanted to do it for fun.

The association people can't blame us if things had broken during the test itself so, even if they knew I did it on purpose, they had no way to justify it.

And since they would think we had even an ounce of guilt that we broke their things, we would follow up with their demands and requests, this was a win-win for us.

'That's exactly the kind of position Lucy has in mind for them.'

When it came to business strategies, that bastard was far better than me. But of course, I was still better when it came to planning and calculations.

Anyway, the first thing was broken, and I was happy. And Levi had given up on his sentiments and was doing whatever he needed only as an examiner.

'He sure had that bitterness, but aside from the cute expressions he was making, he wasn't saying anything anymore.'

And even after Lucy got a <S> rank in strength without destroying that last little crystal, he was just noting the results.

He stopped speaking after my previous threat so, after finishing this, we just moved to the following tests.

The way they measured one's agility was by a unique chamber where we had to catch some flying red balls while avoiding the black ones that would continually hit us.

And with each red ball one catches, the speed and precision of these black balls would increase significantly.

They had special tiny needles with a paralyzing and pain-inducing poison so people mostly gave up after catching two or three balls.

And even if someone had great poison resistance and endurance, if the black balls hit them twenty-one times, the test would end.

But, it was a test of body movements, balance, control over the body, reflexes, and at the core, one's agility by which they avoid the black ones while effectively catching the red ones.

Nes did pretty well as she caught six balls before getting hit by the twenty-one black balls.

She sure had the talent to develop her physical aspects further and bring out her innate potential but she did well and got another <B>. But, because of her unique passive defense mechanism, all those poison balls were destroyed as soon as they touched her body.

'Hehehe.'

Levi was losing his heart with each passing moment, praying to Mother Nature to save him from this torture.

'And he still hadn't seen my magic or other's powers, lmao.'

The chances that he will faint would be the highest in the artificial dungeon. But there were still a few minor cardiac arrests left.

Eva got yet another <A> in an agility test while Lucy and I got another <S> and <AAA>.

'But I accidentally hit all of them at the end and those black balls were destroyed so, this little accident was fun.'

For the stamina test, we just had to run on a treadmill-like special device and answer the questions that appeared periodically on the screen before it, and play the games there.

It was easy so Nes got a good <AA> and Eva another <A>, but my dummy brother failed his <S> rank streak to me.

'And I broke one of their devices accidentally, so it was the same.'

The intelligence test was the simplest as we had to solve a magic circle and improve it further to our liking or, if we can't do that, answer three simple questions by their unique system which had data from their previous tests.

Well, all four of us were familiar with magic circles so we all did that, and this time Lucy and I both got an <S>. My bastard had learned good things from me.

'But when they will try to activate my magic circle, it will do some pretty good stuff to this place, hehe. While his circle will create a protective barrier around living things.'

Eva got a <A> again, while Nes got <AAA>. Almost the same rank as us but, she used a little more Mana than necessary in the end part of her upgraded circle so the system didn't register it.

'It was gorgeous though. Little Nes was taught magic circles very well.'

Learning from divine creatures was one thing but her talent was what allowed her to be on this level.

'And she still falls for the tricks of that bloodsucker. My poor little thing…'

He was a lonely bastard. I could relate to his feelings a little, but at the end of the day, he was still a con artist bastard that only wanted juices, pleasure, and that illusionary happiness he was searching for.

'Bastard...'

The luck test was the easiest as we all only had to do gacha from some unique gacha machine three times.

One can get three free rewards from the association if they get lucky but like most money-eating gacha, most of the things one got were useless stuff or empty shells with better luck next time.

'But we had Lucy. His mere existence enhanced all of our luck.'

So, not only Lucy got three of the rarest presents, one being some of the best, but all four of us also got pretty good things.

'I even got a teddy bear I can butcher~.'

So, Lucy got an <S> again, I got an <AA>, Eva got an <A> again, and Nes got a <AAA> since she got a free artifacts coupon like Lucy.

'It was fun~. The things Lucy won were a free dungeon raid pass, a weapon coupon, and a chunk of Adamantium, the second rarest metal on this planet~. Which were all mine.'

'He looted the association without even doing anything, lol~.'

The Charm test was done by a special artifact. A hat with a womanly face.

'It was an Ego artifact named Cherry the Charm measurer.'

You know that certain magic school series? That very famous one with the boy who survived?

This was the same-looking hat.

And, she fell in love with my Lucy so I wanted to burn it down.

'But bitch sensed my concentrated bloodlust so she stopped doing that vicious 'licking' she was doing to his hair.'

They were mine, he was entirely mine. He can go to some other bitch if he wanted but no bitch was allowed to touch even his hair! And a hag like this one, one that was a hat without a pointed end, was strictly prohibited!

She gave Lucy an <S>, Eva an <A> again, and Nes a <AAA>. And she would have given me anything lower but when she looked at my charming self, something she will never have in this broken life of hers, she had no choice but to give me an <S>, even with tears.

I knew she won't be taking any other applicant for a few days and mourn over this absolute fact. But she still deserved to be burned at the stake.

Those were all the basic stats and only the special stat measurement, Mana measurement to be more precise, remained now...

'So, as the last test, we were standing before a crystal ball that measures one's Mana. And, it also checks one's elemental affinity so… some pretty interesting things were going to happen here now.'

Some pretty interesting things related to Mana and elemental affinities.

'And I like this part quite a bit actually.'
