Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 176 176 For a good school time

[Lucy's POV: ]

"I know it is surprising and shocking to find out a young looking person such as me is not just some intermediate swordsman who could use Aura or an advanced swordsman who can release the Aura in the form of physical attacks but, a swordmaster whose Aura has gained a unique characteristic and form of their own.

I know you have many questions, I had too, actually.

How can someone so young become a swordmaster?

Is he even human or some half-elf that has lived for many more years than it appears?

Is he some kind of genius or something that appears once in a thousand years?

I have had questions about myself as well since the time I acquired Aura at a young age.

I thought about how I have this special ability that not many in the world are able to possess even after dedicating their entire lives.

I also wondered how I was able to use a weapon like the sword so properly from the first time I had held it.

Yes, I considered the possibility that I might have a talent for the sword, however, I soon scratched that possibility…"

I looked down at all the confused and surprised faces that were wondering what I was talking about at the moment.

They had many questions about the things I was saying right now and questions about the questions I had mentioned a while back.

New questions and doubts were popping up at every new moment and, I needed to resolve them with as simple answers as I could.

'And to do that, I possess my years of acting experience as well as the charms of this charismatic pretty body.'

The human mind, or, generally speaking, most of the common minds with a relatively simple understanding of this world would perceive everything around them in a simple way. Therefore, manipulating other's thoughts, opinions, and ideas with mere speech is sometimes a more simple task than conditioning them thoroughly for something.

"Talent is an innate ability one is born with, the natural aptitude, something that was there from the start, however, I did not have this talent from the start," I spoke with my aura-infused voice with a serious expression that made all of the students pay greater attention to me and my words.

"I was a young boy, just like anyone else at the beginning. However, in an orphanage run by a scumbag of a demon, I was faced was many cruel things that I do not wish anyone present here, and elsewhere, would have to ever witness during their lifetimes.

They were cruel things, and, I was powerless back then.

So… out of childish stupidity and sheer ignorance, I confronted the fat bastard and was beaten up miserably for my futile attempt to save one of the children from the tyranny of that tyrannical demon.

We were precious products for that person since we had better looks than the average children of the orphanage so he never did as worse to us as he did to the other poor children.

We were powerless against him till the moment that f-… ah, apologies. Until the moment that demon passed away without receiving even half of what he truly deserved. We were powerless.

We had no strength, we did not even know how to use Mana or the power of stats and the system we possess today.

We were normal children, living in worse conditions than the normal common people of small villages.

The pain, the suffering, the torture of seeing others like us dying or being sold as no more than slaves… we had no strength back then. All we had was one another and faith in ourselves."

I paused for a moment and looked at another look of surprise that they were showing, the little emotions they could relate with, or the sad or almost teary looks that they had as they thought about how me or El could have been treated by that demonic bastard.

Which simply means this is working.

"We had suffered in that place, thus, when that demon died and we were free to do whatever we wanted, we chose to gain the strength that we did not possess at the time we needed it and went to the great forest of Doxiloca alongside our guardian and family member that had been the one to suffer the most in that hellish place."

I looked at Eva and, all the eyes that were around her as well as the ones that were too far away from her, all looked towards her, while she looked back at me with a bitter smile on her face.

She knew what I was doing right now, she knew it well, however, the way I was doing it, the way I was making us look relatively more normal than we actually were didn't go too well with her.

'I know that and, she knows that I know that as well. That's why, she is doing her best to not show any signs that whatever is going on had any kind of problem with it.'

She was doing a good job, which is enough for now.

"She's someone who gave us so much that we couldn't possibly repay her enough, and, at the same time, she is a precious person to us who had been with us in that deadly forest.

She helped us when we were wounded while fighting slimes, she took care of us when we were fighting dangerous creatures, she took care of us even when we were doing reckless things that though certainly gave us the powers that we possess right now, they were things that got us killed countless times over these past years."

I nodded at her with a smile and, she nodded back while shaking her head with a smile similar to mine.

"Perhaps our recklessness and a desperate will to get stronger made us what we are today, perhaps the talents that we had also played a certain role in that, however, I do not believe either of us could have been able to achieve anything that we have today without that kind of will, passion, and craziness…

Like, we once tried to defeat a level 200 (Blue-spotted beastbird) but had to run for our lives after only cutting a few of its feathers when we were around level 70… and that was not the only time we did something like that.

Anyway…

What I want to say to all of my fellow students, is simply this:

Don't try to limit yourself by any internal or external factors.

Anyone can achieve anything if they wish for it and, even though it might prove out to be no more than foolish thinking, I believe in some corner of this great world, there must exist places where these same seemingly impossible things would be a task of their everyday lives.

I do not know how many of you would be able to relate to me when I say Being free from the shackles of any bondage and working to achieve a singular goal, however impossible sounding it may be, is something most people don't even think about even when they were fully capable of doing it themselves."

This much should be enough for this long speech of ours.

Everything I wanted to plant into their minds has already taken root at this point.

"Therefore…"

I looked at my fellow students one last time with a warm smile and bowed a little.

"We look forward to learning with you in this great institution, as well as getting stronger together, and becoming even more capable to achieve greater heights."

They now knew we were strong, they now knew we were a little crazy, they knew we did not have any special background but just a little more than average strength, and also how we had many weaknesses they could exploit if a need ever arose.

They believed there were things that we were hiding from them and also things that were suspicious about us, but, one thing they believed now, was how El was a blunt person who spoke her mind freely and I was a careful one who thought before acting, or even speaking something.

The stereotypes in their minds, their biases, and the certain point of view about the worldly things that had continually conditioned their minds will lead them into thinking and doing exactly what they wanted with the information, stimulations, signals, hidden messages, and signs that we have given through this first impression of ours, through this first speech, and most of them, in a short period of time, will become accustomed to what we will be able to exploit.

'It would be just like we want them to be for a happy, smooth, and good school time…'
