Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 249 The best reward box

[El's POV: ]

"You better have a proper reason to drag us here like this. And if it is about those runestones, I didn't do anything!"

"He hasn't even said anything, El. Calm down a little."

"You shut up!"

We were back to this damn office of his. And he was still sitting in his position behind the desk like this mattered nothing to him at all!

"First of all, miss Auriel. Yes, I called you here because of the runestone-"

"I knew it! I just said I have n- mmm! Muhuum!?"

"Second of all, yes I know you had nothing to do with it."

This Lucy bastard covered my mouth with his hand even before I could finish speaking. This damn bastard!

'He's gonna get a hard beating from me as soon as we get back to our bedroom!'

And since there are no classes today, we have all afternoon, evening and night all to ourselves!

I didn't get to spend my time with my girls so you're gonna have to be the one to ease my aching heart you fucking bastard!

Just let me get this over with!

"Third of all, I didn't even know what the skills inside those runestones actually are until a moment ago when I received a message from Elder Adventurer. And I only called you here to tell you about the things you got.

You should know what you have gotten your hands on before you try to fulfill its obtaining conditions."

"Hmmm?"

Now what the hell is he talking about?

What do I have to know about a skill?

Did he mean he knew something about that absurd shit?

"Do you know something about these runestones and these skills, headmaster? We got them accidentally while getting the wheel of fortune."

"Oh no no, Lucifer. It was no accident. And that aside, did you just say you were trying to get that ancient artifact and it was no coincidence?"

Lucy bastard said it as normally as one possibly could but the sharp headmaster still caught what he was trying to say here.

He was a divine being so detecting lies was as easy for him as breathing, so we opted for half-truths whenever possible.

But this time he caught his half-truth as well, and now, he had a sudden look of surprise on his young face… while the bastard fantasy wizard who was right beside Lucy, was smirking while looking at us once again.

'This fucking wizard was enjoying all this a little too much, didn't he?!'

What is the matter with this bastard?

Did he have a death wish?!

"Say, you two. Did you actually get the wheel of fortune by not pure chance but, by some alternate method?"

He was serious right now. He had that stoic look on his face as he looked at us which he does not usually have.

"We… we will remain silent."

Lucy couldn't tell him about the method we just used or else they would patch this loophole and we won't be able to use it the next time we have the chance to get something from Kaspin.

"Oh my. Then you did actually get it with an alternate method! You two don't ever stop surprising me."

His stoic look changed into that of a stunned one. A positive stunned one specifically. Another rare expression this headmaster makes.

"This is quite surprising. This… no, not just surprising. You practically manipulated the authority of an elder offspring and made it give you something specific that you wanted even though it was not supposed to give it to anyone.

And you knew Elder Adventurer would never take back what Kaspin had already given out so you didn't even hesitate to use such an absurd method, you fearless idiots."

"Hmmm?"

Now this bastard had an impressed look… and a smile on top of that?

Did he eat something weird? Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?

'We only got a little artifact that no one was going to use anyway. It's much better for us to have it instead of it rotting in that storage.'

It should not have been that much of a big deal for him since he already knew us quite well by this point. Then, why that look?

"We neither agree nor disagree with what you have just said, headmaster."

"Of course you do not, haha. But still, you might not realize how unique what you have just done actually is. And, it definitely is nothing less than an achievement in itself. An achievement that should at least be acknowledged."

He called up a certain screen that was only accessible by the offspring, one that was directly connected with the main Worldline system interface, and the very next moment, a few screens popped up before us.

[Ding!]

[< Your actions have been acknowledged by an offspring of the Worldline, forming a certain achievement. >]

[< The nature of the achievement surpasses the categorization criteria of the world, so a unique reward will be bestowed. >]

-Oooooooooooong!

A single reward box materialized before the two of us even though the notifications had popped before us individually, but… that did not matter.

"Ummm… h-headmaster? I'd this supposed to exist here?"

"Supposed to? Certainly not. But I was not the one that gave you this. Your achievements that I reported were just that great that you were granted this special opportunity.

Now what you actually get from it though, would solely depend on you."

The reward box that materialized before us was no simple one.

'Damn… fuck.'

It was the highest grade of reward box anyone in this Worldline was granted, the rainbow reward box! And even though it is called the rainbow reward box, as we see it, it didn't have only the seven colors of the spectrum but practically all the colors one's eyes could see.

[ "Now this is unexpected, El…" ]

[ "Yeah, lol. I thought he was going to tell the Adventurer about the flow of his near-perfect authority but instead of that, he reported it to the main system and we got something truly unexpected." ]

A crystalline surface with colors fading and coming to its surface, along with original runes carved all around its surface shining with a saffron color… this was the best kind of 'gift' that was granted by the Worldline to any element of the Worldline.

'This reward box is rarely granted on the main stage of the Worldline, in places similar to where Raz or Silver's uncle lives. And the World itself does not have the authority to grant anyone this reward box.'

It is granted by the Worldline main system directly, so it is nearly impossible for someone who isn't even a liberated soul to possess it.

'Outside of special circumstances like this one where an offspring directly reports a special achievement to the main system and it judges it to be a valid achievement worthy of something like this special gift box.'

But, fuck that shit.

[ "A free jackpot, Lucy. A free freaking jackpot!" ]

One could get literally unbelievable stuff from the highest grade of the reward box! Things that are just too OP to the <S> ranked artifacts that possess their own personal unique abilities that are one of a kind in this entire Worldline!

The money and skill points one gets would be next level, yes, but this particular reward box also has the chance to spew out a very special kind of material that I would love to get my hands on!

"Well? What are these two doing? Take it. It is yours."

We had the regular gifts, the wooden gift boxes, the metal ones, the silver ones, the golden and purple ones as well, and this one was our first and perhaps the only rainbow gift box we would have in This world.

"Lucy."

He should be the one to touch this precious thing first. He was far luckier than me.

"Yes…"

And he knew the value of this thing so, he carefully picked up the box, had the feel of it, and after gulping a mouthful of saliva, he placed the box in my hand.

"This… is heavier, right?"

This thing was definitely heavier than what it was in the game. Or, was this because this was our first time touching one while still being in this world?

I don't know that. But, one thing I know for certain now…

"Now the gift opening will be even more amazing, hehehe. I can't wait, lol."

We have been saving all of our reward boxes for the past few years. And soon, the night of the golden moon will grace this world, and we will open all those hundreds of reward boxes all at once~.

"Hehehe…"

This one will be our final item. And it will be fun seeing what we actually get from it with all that preparations.

"Thanks, headmaster."

"Ah no no. Do not thank me. I only did what needed to be done. After all, achievements have to be acknowledged by the world. That's the law of the Worldline."

He said that with a smile, but he knew we already knew it wasn't necessarily the case.

What he did for us was kind of favor from his side, and we would have been indebted to him had there actually been any conditions involved.

But, at least this time, he did it purely because he was in a good mood. And that, was appreciated.

"Now."

Back to his serious self, he looked at us with that stoic look.

"How much do you two know about skills that are called 'divine series' skills'?"

"Divine… what?"

"Are you talking about the maxed level celestial skills, sir headmaster?"

"No."

What did he mean by divine series skills then?

Was there something like this that we did not know about as well?

"Seems like I will have to start from the start this time."

He still had a serious expression on his face.

Why was he so serious though?!

Were these divine whatever skills that big of a deal?

What exactly are these damn [Pride] and [Vow] for him to look soooo damn serious?!
