Chapter 87 87 Entering the golden gate

[Lucy's POV: ]

[Those who wish to attend this year's entrance exam, please make your way towards the gate.]

[And, the ones who wish to be the official helpers inside the academy, please make your way to the right side of the entrance gates after the general briefing.]

[The headmaster has decided to do the briefing personally this time around so everyone is requested to be prepared.]

[You have three minutes.]

[2:57]

The announcing voice was a male one, different from the usual system one that we know about, however, it felt somewhat similar, as it contained a stronger authority.

Most who heard this voice were surprised for a moment but those who were not affected by the announcement voice were surely astonished by the things it had just said.

"Headmaster?! He's personally…?!"

"OMG! OMG! OMG! Everyone! Gather around quickly! Take out the recording devices!"

"Shit…! Run everyone!"

"What's happening all of a sudden…?"

"Headmaster!"

"Sir Red! To think we would see him even before entering the academy!! What a divine blessing!!!"

There was excitement and chaos all around us for some reason. Some people were excited while some people were running away from here. Some people were excitedly shouting while some people were making their way to the area before the giant golden gates.

It was global news if the headmaster was making a public appearance so everyone couldn't help but rush to the place he would be appearing.

People would run away from the place to inform the media or the nearby public of this grand event and, just like some rich brats were doing, they would start recording the entire event in the super costly mechanical recording devices to upload it on the WL net.

'One can earn free Oz from there as well like we have been doing for past years, so it was a nice place to get some free pocket money. And, since the content related to the headmaster was a hot topic, we could already see some people editing their videos of announcements regarding the appearance of the headmaster outside the academy.'

[ "Is it because of us?" ]

[ "You, mostly, I would say." ]

El knew there was a good enough possibility of that strict person coming out of his beloved resting place to see her, the new person to receive the unique title in this Worldline.

We knew it could happen but we weren't sure, but since this announcement had been made already, just like everyone else, we also walked to a good spot before the giant golden gates.

'The gates of the great academy are gates to a practically another world different from the place we were standing on, the place of a new start, the place where it all beguines for some of them…

It is great and all, but, it's not like we were going to attend this place to learn from the people here. There was nothing much to learn from them anyway so, wasting our time in the classes would be the last thing we would do.'

And El doesn't like the classes anyway therefore, our attendance was going to be the bare minimum. Doing the important things took top priority for us.

But since the headmaster was coming out anyway, this was going to be fun.

[ "Lucy, Lucy. Look. Looks like they did meet each other." ]

El suddenly pointed out at Cathy who was trying to search for someone in the crowds.

Her eyes were searching for something, something that they had caught a glimpse of already, and this certain behavior of hers was something we were well familiar with.

[ "Hmmm. That means we would have to consider the route 3C. Still, we don't know how much they have progressed so we would have to confirm that first." ]

[ "Yes. Oh! Looks like AJ's planning to have another group party with those princesses~. Let's-" ]

[ "No. shuddup." ]

She was obviously talking about the innocent and harmless-looking immortal vampire. And yes there certainly was a chance that he would have a 'good' party with those princesses, I had no motivation to even look at his bloody sweaty fluidy orgy.

'I have seen all that was necessary already, so I had no reason to look at that bastard when I had a gazillion times better devilish sister.'

AJ was what we called him but he went by the name Tim. The most normal-sounding name that anyone wouldn't even think twice about. Just like his looks that were so normal that it was strange how anyone would even feel attracted towards him.

But he surely possessed the toxicity that can make any weak-minded one his slave, and, since El was high when creating his outlines, he was the creation of her pure inner thoughts. The version that seeks various pleasures without even knowing the reason behind those desireless actions.

He was also a kind of miserable person but, let's not think about it for now.

"Hello everyone."

The area before these golden gates leading to the other side of this world was quite giant, perhaps a little more than the city walls. And it was wider too, so almost nothing on the other side was ever visible from the outside.

The golden gates were made with unique enchanted metals and were adorned with glowing colorful patterns, and there were many places exuding unique protective shields and barriers all around the academy.

These gates were one of the attractions of the capital city but, just before that unique voice rang out throughout the surrounding area and silenced all the present voices, a strange flame sparked in the air before the gates as a humanoid figure materialized before everyone.

[ "He looks better too." ]

[ "Yeah…" ]

The strongest in this world, the headmaster of the greatest academy, the being whose true identity was a fragment of the Worldline's offspring, and someone we would be interacting with a lot in our following days, The Headmaster, and in this world, Sir Crimsonred Emeraldgreen Gray.

'But that weird name's kinda funny too so people mostly go with Red, Green, or Gray when addressing him. Hahaha, his name is actually funny and gooooood~.'

It's funny but, his male adult body looked stunning with just a glance, his long silver-gold hair shining under the shy sunlight, his gray and blue eyes that looked like a single precious jewel even after having different colors, and the dashing outfit he was wearing, looked so mesmerizing that his mere appearance in this place had stopped the very flow of time…

'Or so it looked like at least.'

Some people were just staring at him, some were having a grand lot of emotional bursts, some were suddenly feeling admiration from that grand presence he possessed, and, regardless of gender, many of them were getting hard.

He looked cool alright. He was who knows how old but, he certainly looked like a hot daddy little princesses would love to smash. And 'princesses' was used as a gender-neutral term here.

'That's the specialness of his mere presence.'

"That's the headmaster people call the 'perfect being'?"

But probably he felt too normal to Nes that she had no special reactions at all. Not even the look of admiration like the one El had right now as his 'grandmother'.

If anything, she was a little confused for some reason. And, we knew she must be feeling that unique sensation caused by his strange existence in this space, so we weren't too surprised by this.

Her existence was special as well so, she could feel that what we were seeing right now was nothing more than a spatial projection of his inner consciousness.

His physical self wasn't here. Not that he needed a physical body since he was a transcendental being who was practically above the higher beings themselves, but this soul projection was certainly causing unique ripples in the space.

'She could naturally feel it since she has an affinity with space element, but, for some strange and unexpected reason, we could also tell he was just a mental projection without a physical body.'

We didn't have an affinity with the space element, that much was true. And this feeling we were having was also distinct from what we knew she was feeling.

What she felt were the distinct ripples in space while what El and I were feeling was the energy from his mental body itself.

It was new to both of us, but we can think about that after all of this is over.

[ "I think…" ]

[ "He did. I saw that too. He glanced at all four of us first, then individually at all of us, and then he looked at the two of us slightly more than he usually would, the only reason we noticed he was even looking at us." ]

[ "I already know that dumbass. That was the line you should have 'thought' about instead." ]

[ "Ummmm… whatever." ]

He definitely looked at us and I can tell we noticed he was looking at us, which was pretty impressive in itself from my perspective. He was strong and cautious so just perceiving his secretive gaze was a big feat.

'The good and evil faction both agreed with this too. They were sending their gifts of praises so this was pretty fun free money for us~.'

This was good, but, he was actually here for the briefings, so he cleared his throat, gazed over all of the people present here, and started speaking with a stern nod.

"Alright. We will start the briefing for the 3456th batch now. And since you will be guided by the capable people afterward anyway, I will keep this short and simple."

He was standing far away from us, pretty far away truthfully, and still, we were almost hearing his voice ringing in our ears directly.

It was as if he was using some kind of skill or mental telepathy but that wasn't the case, actually. He was just speaking normally without even using his Mana.

The winds, the atmosphere, and the space itself carried the waves of his voice to all the beings present here, something strange, but at the same time, mind-blowing.

"Strength and authority…"

"Hot body and sexiness…"

"?"

I looked beside me and stared at my dear sister for her peculiar words that fell right at the same time as my admiration for this great creation of our greater creation.

She was strange as always and also cute as she always is,

It was almost time for the start of our examination now which meant it was also almost time for that thing we had restricted ourselves for all this time.

'We can clear it too as long as there's no hindrance to our plan and calculations so we are confident.'

We can defeat that thing, and after it is gone… we can also do most of the stuff I had hardly stopped myself from doing until now.

If everything goes right, today will be the day we have our first real kiss and hopefully more.

"Alright. This is it for the briefing. I look forward to seeing all of you who manage to become the students of this great institution this time around."

He just vanished into the same flames he had come from and with his abrupt departure, the giant golden gates also opened to all the participants of this year.

"It's starting…"

"Good luck Eva."

"See you soon on the other side~."

She would part ways temporarily since she had her own tests in the other testing area. But, I knew she would meet up with us by the last part of our tests.

'There are more than ninety thousand people here… and not even a tenth of them would join the academy.'

The tests were tough, so tough that there were many great opportunities for one to get great treasures and achievements while doing it.

We knew it would be tough and all already so we weren't worried one bit.

All that was going on in our mind instead… was the things, the good stuff, the ticklings and touching that we would be allowed to do after this was over.

'Our top spot was a given but, everyone was watching, many more will come to watch us, and for them… it would be our loss if we couldn't prepare a grand show that even they would never be able to forget.'

"Hehehe. Yeiiiiiiii~!"

We walked through the golden gates shining with golden light, and ended up before a familiar new world that was nothing like any part of this capital city we had seen until now…
