Hineko and Mizuneko agreed to talk about themselves first, and there seed like they had an interesting story to tell. They were raised in an orphanage and were never adopted while in there until they were old enough to leave that place.
There were tis that they had to work many hours for a little amount of money, but at least they had each other. They weren't sure if they were biological brothers, and they never wanted to know.
One of the orphanage nuns who raised them found them in a basket, each at the front door after soone had knocked on it, but the nun didn't notice anyone when she got there, just the two babies who seed to be a few weeks old. No note was left and no indication of the one who left them or their biological parents.
They were curious so days about the possibility of looking for their biological family and such, but they never got to do it.
Phoenix's eyes were full of tears while hearing their tragic story, and even Tycoon seed to feel bad for them.
But the 'sleeping' Shingi wasn't affected cause he was able to hear sothing that the girls could hear as he focused his PERCEPTION at the max.
The heartbeat of Hineko, who was the one who was telling the whole story, and by hearing it, Shingi could understand an important fact.
Hineko's story was just full of b******ts.
Nothing was true, and to tell the truth, Shingi was impressed on how natural he was telling the story and was sure it wasn't the first ti he had to tell it. And he understood why as he had noticed the interest he has shown against a certain female Mage.
Mizuneko didn't speak at all during his brother telling their 'story.' Still, he acted to be sowhat sad of hearing their story while considering which ti was this ti. They should have reached in the hundreds already.
"... and then after eting this kind man even if we were so old, he adopted us and since he was a man with so money we were able to stop working. We didn't go to a normal school, but he got us so tutors to help us, and we had already learned quite a few things back in the orphanage. So we were lucky that he was also to get in acquiring these capsules and the ga, so that's how we got here as before eting Master, nothing fancy happened." [Hineko]
Of course, he didn't want to tell the story of how he t Shingi and how scared of him he was back then, as it would possibly ruin his own image even if the girls knew that the boy wasn't so simple.
After Hineko finished telling how they got adopted by a rich guy who found it in his heart to raise them, he ended his story.
Phoenix used so cloth to clear her eyes of tears as she took so ti to calm herself.
"Well, I guess you aren't as bad as I thought you to be Kitty boys" [Wild Tycoon]
Tycoon was affected sowhat by their story but not as bad as Phoenix, but she thought that since now they are in a good environnt, why would she be sad for their past.
Hineko ignored the comnt of Tycoon as if he reacted to it; it would probably ruin the mont he built with the story, and Mizuneko just followed him on that since he wasn't liking going against Tycoon either way.
Now it was the girls' chance to share their story as this was the reason this discussion started.
Tycoon seed to be the one telling the story mainly as Phoenix was correcting her on few details.
Their story wasn't as complicated as the two boys, and actually, it was quite a normal one at the beginning.
Three girls growing together and being best friends. Of course, the two were the shy and not shy Little Phoenix and the third one was the Wild Tycoon.
They didn't go into much detail about their background. Still, their two families were quite close. That had started since their great grandparents beca friends, and the friendship continued with each generation. It seed like they weren't part of a low-inco family but didn't detail what their family was doing. Still, it seed like their families had so business or company. They were cooperating as part of the family's friendship.
Hineko was interested to learn about the Phoenix's sisters and why they acted that differently. After quite so persuasion, he got Tycoon to speak about it, with Phoenix allowing it.
It seed like the two girls used to act pretty much the sa. None could tell the difference between them. That's why they decided to have a difference in their hairstyle as both had long hairs; one had a ponytail to rest at her left shoulder while the other one at her right.
But things changed two years ago as sothing tragic happened to one of the two girls and made her not want to speak to others and stay in her room doing nothing.
Tycoon didn't speak of this event as even she didn't know and didn't want to go too far on details either way. It may have so effect on Phoenix as the current one was the one who got into whatever that tragic event was.
That was why Tycoon didn't like to be around the other Phoenix, as the event seed to the happened cause of her. Still, no matter what she said, she never learned anything from her about what happened. Also, the not shy sister seed not to care much about her sister as much as she used to be, considering that it will pass in ti. It wasn't, though, that she was completely ignoring her; just their bond as sisters seed to be less strong.
The current Phoenix was normally in her room 24/7. Still, after so persuasion from Tycoon, she started playing the ga with her.
Of course, after learning about it, the other sister wanted to play too. Since she was able to play only by using her sister's account, they agreed to use it now and then, but the shy one would use it most of the ti as she didn't have much else to do.
Tycoon sent them through ssages as she didn't want to remind her friend a lot in case she got affected, but Shingi was able to guess most of the things he couldn't hear.
"So the two of you are rich girls, huh?" [Mizuneko]
He wasn't interested in them like his brother, so he wasn't that worried about how he said things or what he asked unless it was completely inappropriate to ask.
"Well, our family has so money, but I wouldn't call us rich. It isn't like we own the business or sothing." [Wild Tycoon]
It was clear to the two brothers that she seed to be hiding sothing, but none could be certain of what it was so their imagination could go wild.
"Well, at least now things are better now. Right? I an, you t Master and us, so things got more interesting." [Hineko]
Tycoon nodded on that but mostly because things were interesting with Shingi being around and less about them. And of course, she didn't forget that unknown player who seed to be behind the boy.
After they had so more small talk, Shingi decided to stop his act and 'woke up.'
He walked towards the party.
"So how is everyone? Ready to move on?"[Shingi]
Everyone nodded as they had fully restored their HP, MP, and SP for so ti now.
And as they were ready to move on, Phoenix seed like she wanted to ask sothing from Shingi.
"Excuse . But shouldn't we get back at so point? Won't your sister get worried of that much ti passed that you are away?" [Little Phoenix]
Phoenix learned from Tycoon about Annoue since she wasn't the one who actually was in control of their character when they t her and didn't have the chance to et her during the past days.
It was true that they were here for quite a few hours, and even if they got here early in the morning, it was getting close to few hours from dinner ti.
"We gonna investigate this way and after that depending what we find we may continue or return. But we have to take a look at it after everything we went through. By the way, did the spell got recognized by the Gods?" [Shingi]
Phoenix seed confused for a second as she forgot that by the Gods, he ant the System as she then gave him a nod.
"Yes, I did, but it says that it is an unfinished spell of Base Grade." [Little Phoenix]
Shingi's eyes got wide from hearing that he hadn't checked her status, which was the first ti he learned about the actual spell.
"What is an unfinished spell? Isn't the Sys... the Gods just letting us know when the Spell is fully able to be used from us?" [Mizuneko]
Shingi nodded on that as he began explaining.
"It is true of it being the case on most cases. But there are tis of unique spells that only specific people can learn that are being allowed to be used in a lesser version of theirs and upgraded to their true power without creating a new spell. But the unfinished ones are always at least a grade lower than the final Grade of the spell when it is considered as finished." [Shingi]
Hearing that, silence fell in the room as everyone understood what was just said.
A Master Grade Spell. Little Phoenix had access to a Master Grade Spell.
Even if it was considered a Base Grade one now, it would be a Master Grade one when she completed it. Master Grade one wasn't as rare to reach a skill to be considered Master Rank, but that didn't an they were easy to learn either way. Even if one found one, it would take them to quite a few resources to learn itnothing a normal player could afford.
But Phoenix already knew the spell just in its unfinished form. As long as she beca familiar with it, it would get at its real Grade. That didn't an that it was easy, but it didn't need as many resources as it normally would need.
"Do you think you can use it at its current grade?" [Shingi]
A spell not fully recognized by the System has been completely different, with the latter being much easier for the user to use.
Phoenix closed her eyes to focus on the Dark Mana around her, and after almost half a minute, she opened them but no signs of her shadow form.
"It doesn't seem like I can with my current skill. I got a few levels in my MANA MANIPULATION skill, so maybe I could do it if I raise it more. I feel like this is the problem and not my stats, but not sure why I just feel like that."
Shingi was interested in hearing that and opened her status and saw that her MANA MANIPULATION was actually raised to 39. It was very close to being considered Master Rank, just two more levels.
'It seems to learn a special spell-like that while having this much INT greatly affects your skills. Good to know for future training.'[Shingi]
So since they didn't have anything more to discuss, they continued their way deeper into the dungeon and the secret corridor.
