Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 120 120 Test’s process

[Lucy's POV: ]

'Haaa… this is the last one. Focus. It will end soon.'

It was tiring, difficult, and excruciatingly fucking painful. But I have to finish this and reach our meeting point to take a break.

'Going on for so long with that speed is difficult now, I'm really far weaker than I used to be.'

I was certainly stronger than my previous young self, far stronger actually. If I was young while playing the game in the past as well, I don't think I would be this strong.

But even though this young body of mine is stronger compared to most normal or special children my age, it is nowhere near the one I had in my previous life. Be it in the game or in reality.

It hadn't even been three days properly and I had to rely on my skill, haaa…

'This is still effective though. Perseverance is a pretty good autopilot skill.'

My body worked on its own so I didn't have to consciously move and since I had given it precise instructions, it would only stop after this person before me was defeated.

'I will get the top rank after this, finally.'

It was difficult but I survived and our meeting spot wasn't that far from here so I was almost there.

'She did almost catch up, perhaps I might have lost if it wasn't for this person.'

I was fighting someone right now, and this person, though strong and talented, wasn't one of the important characters in the story, he will perhaps die because of some family dispute in the future.

But he was in the high rankings with more than eighty thousand points so, after he's defeated, I will be first in the rankings.

She did well but I was lucky enough to find this person. And, I will be grateful to him for this.

'A wish was on the line… it was obviously more important to me than this whole test itself.'

We were going to be first ranked anyway, and we would also have overwhelmingly more points than the others. Points or rank didn't matter anyway, but the wish… the most important.

'Haaa… she certainly did something amazing though.'

To get that many points by just hunting a bunch of monsters that gave no more than a few points was something I couldn't have been able to pull off.

'And she did something more than just killing those monsters to get that many points this time.'

She must have killed all the monsters she summoned multiple times, three to nine times to be more precise. Perhaps more but gained points depended on her mood and the strength of that creature.

'Bad smart girl.'

She created a complex mechanism where she used her magic wand's [Ethereal] skill to make it into a fine, strong string and spread it all over the place.

When anything got into contact with that string, first of all, the strings released a wave of Mana that hurt a very vital point of their body, which the system counted as the first kill.

Then, even before eyes could perceive it, her strings vibrated at a very high frequency and cut the creature into multiple pieces.

'And while that chopping process happened, depending on their endurance, the creatures' death was counted multiple times by the system.'

It was similar to how a student could still continue with their test if they were only defeated by a small but fatal scratch. Forfeiting before receiving any lethal blows also worked.

But, when they are defeated by sudden blows where they aren't even able to defend themselves or put up any kind of fight against an opponent who had asked for the fight sincerely, then they are counted as 'failed'.

One can forfeit the fight mid-sentence and the winner would certainly get a hundred points even if the other doesn't have that many points, but that could also only happen a few times.

'If you are unqualified, you will naturally be filtered out of this test. That was how this test worked.'

The practical test part of the academy entrance exam was held in a unique location every time so even for those giving the test again, the locations were new and unexpected.

The format changed a little as well but things were mostly the same.

Fight, get more points, gather treasures, survive, and see the end of this exam.

'One's overall actions determine if they will pass or not anyway.'

Yes rankings and points matter but, if someone manages to survive till the end without any points at all, then depending on how they were able to do it, they might also have the chance to get to the last stage of the exam which, didn't matter that much to us anyway.

'A familiar was a must for the official helpers of the academy so Eva will have to have one, but, for us students, it wasn't as important.'

A familiar was the creature that one's soul or mental body's frequency resonated very closely with. There was a chance that their familiar link was too weak for now or that their mental body was too fragile for the summoning at the moment so the academy doesn't put much pressure on students to have a familiar.

'On the other hand, having so weak of a mental body that they couldn't even summon their own familiar is considered very negative for the official helpers of the academy, the people who would be working very closely with the academy.'

So, at least if one passes this part of the test by any method possible, they are mostly guaranteed to get in.

But, passing these first two parts of the test is no simple task.

While answering the 25 questions of the written part, the voice of the world itself grades one's answers and grades them accordingly.

It is mental torture all in itself that many fail to even see through, and then the practical test evaluates our overall skills, talents, mentality, and innate abilities that we might not know ourselves.

'The expert spectators observe everything happening in the test area and the personal system of the academy we connect to at the start shows them all the physical and mental data of our body at the moment.'

They know their work, that much is certainly true so there is no need to judge their judgments. And there's the headmaster as well so the smoothness of the test is always guaranteed.

'Something that is unexpected even for him hardly ever happens. And genuinely surprising him means surprising an offspring who had seen, managed, and taught countless students since the dawn of the Worldline.'

That is why surprising him is an achievement worthy of an Authority, and there was no way we could miss it when we had the chance to get one right before us.

'But before that, we have to meet up. And even before that, I have to finish this fight.'

The opponent was using a sword, and he was pretty good with it actually.

He was strong as well, perhaps around (Level-80) according to the strength he was showing.

He also had some good skills, but he was nothing special. At least not compared to Ras and some other few I met on my way here.

'He was still pretty good though. He should be able to pass the test even if I take all his points right now.'

-Clank! Clash!!

-Swish-swaaaa!

It was for the wish mister. Please understand...
