:::[Adam's POV]:::
It was impossible for the twins to pass the test. I could tell that much just by looking at the two of them.
On top of being physically weak, they weren't even proficient at using their gift and their communication skills were lacking.
Nevertheless, for the sake of my plan, I needed to turn these sisters into high-level gift holders.
After all, one of the things that I needed to do was to gather as many as possible of the platinum generation under . Of course, it was logical that I begin with participants affiliated with the Raizel family.
That was why I was observing them and my observation wasn't in vain. Still, I didn't expect that the little sister had that kind of gift.
Though I didn't regret my actions, I planned to let the participants see bringing the twins, and later when they see how much they improved, they would certainly be more curious.
My strategy was to continue to use their curiosity about and my actions to take them by surprise after.
As such, what I did might have been a little bit excessive. Nonetheless, these brats should be thankful that I didn't castrate them.
I knew that they were certainly not aware of my status as a Lord but even if they did, I knew that they would still find sothing to irritate , so that might have been for the best. At least they would shut their mouth from now, wouldn't they?
So of those Lord's brats were dumb though, and since I had already said that there would be no next ti, I would make sure that they regret being born if they still dare to try .
I didn't want their action to impact my plans as it would give a bad image. They were indeed affiliated with the Raizel family, but now that they were not ignorant anymore, there was no reason to go easy on them.
Well, at least, the girls in front of seed to know their place when talking to . The older sister, Azalea showed hostility at first, and I didn't mind it because it was for the sake of her sister, but now, they appear to be more open to a discussion.
Considering the circumstances, there was no ti to waste so I imdiately begin to explain various things to them.
"As I said before, it's impossible for you to pass the test the way you are now. However, we need to know why?" I began with the hardest topic that most people didn't want to talk about. I listed their weakness.
"First of all, your physical ability is lacking and your gift mastery is diocre. Also, you haven't fully grasped the nature of your gift. Lastly, you are too dependent on each other. Now, let's discuss all of these in detail and find solutions," I said.
"But… It's not like we would be able to beco stronger in just one day, right?" Azalea said, and I remarked that what I said had made her feel frustrated.
"Yes, that would be impossible but passing the test isn't if you follow my advice," I said, and I didn't lie but what I said wasn't completely true either.
What I needed to see was their determination because as long as they were determined, they would be useful in the future, so the test was never the problem.
Moreover, they needed to see that their actions were for their own benefit and not for or anyone else.
After this was the reason why so people got betrayed by those who were under them.
If at first, they are loyal and do everything for their Lord's benefit out of respect, the ti would co when they would think about their benefit and at that ti, they would see that the world wasn't all about respect.
There was no telling what kind of people would beco like that. That was why I didn't intend to share my real plans with anyone that didn't have the sa goal as or didn't benefit from my actions and their contribution.
"I deduce that you didn't have much opportunity to train your body and your gift, and the reason for this doesn't matter, but if you want to increase the mastery of your gift, your body must be strong enough to handle the growth of your power. This is why, many nobles learn, for example, learn sword skills or other martial arts while increasing their gift mastery. You can't skip this step, but I can tell you how to do it more rapidly and efficiently," I explained.
The girls listened to with great interest but I could see that they also looked like they expect sothing more. "However before I continue, I want you to promise sothing."
"Promise?"
"We will do anything you ask, Lord A-jam!"
"Rose, what are you saying?" Azalea said, startled by what Rose said.
"Lord Adam is strong, noble, and wise. He will not ask us to do sothing suspicious," Rose replied with an innocent smile on her face.
"What? He didn't say anything that could help us yet," Azalea retorted.
'This girl…' I thought to myself, realizing that the younger sister might have been more cunning than she looked.
"Don't worry, it's simple. Unless you are strong enough to beat , you must refuse any marriage proposal," I said.
"What? Why would we promise you such a thing?" Azalea rebuked.
The answer to her question was simple. From what I could tell, these two didn't want their life to be dictated by their status, so they decided to take this opportunity. Otherwise, there was probably no reason for them to take part in the Holy Academy test with their diocre skills, and their parents, if they were not dumb, wouldn't have let them co here.
I theorized that Redmond did sothing after hearing the report about these two.
Nonetheless, I need to establish our position from here and if they accepted this condition, everything would be settled.
I wasn't only thinking about what would happen during the test and decided to see the bigger picture.
They would be tied down by their duties once they get engaged but if they accepted my condition, I would be able to do sothing about their situation until they grow strong enough and capable of really deciding for themselves.
This will establish a sort of connection between us, in a way that benefits both parties.
Of course, they would never beat , but when they get strong as the current Liu, I would co to this again.
In other words, this was more advantageous for them, but I just wanted to see how they would react. After all, from what I said, it sounded like I wanted them to sacrifice sothing if they wanted to help them.
Still, it was not that important but I just felt the need to say it, seeing that their appearance would certainly attract a lot of degenerate Lords with disgusting fetishes and imagination.
As long as the twins were more or less under my protection, it would also give a reason to eliminate all of those people.
It might not be a great plan as it was just a minor detail, but it was better to have a lot of hidden cards no matter how insignificant they were.
In summary, despite everything that I thought about, the goal was to establish a relationship based on the fact that I was doing sothing for them and that I didn't owe them anything. However, that would make them doubt my attention, so I added the promise thing, that was all, and the minor details were just because I was trying to explore the possibilities.
"You don't have to, and I will still help you even if you don't but that's all I will do," I said.
"We accept!" Rose said.
"What? Wait, Rose…"
"Lord Adam is trying to tell us that we should be only devoted to him," Rose said, again, with an innocent smile on her face.
"Rather than being devoted to , shouldn't you be devoted to your training? You must know that this might be the only opportunity for you to change your fate. The promise itself isn't that important, but I want to see your determination," I said.
"Even so, what does that have to do with marriage proposals?" Azalea asked.
"You will understand when the ti cos, but for now, let's continue. The second thing that we need to clarify is the nature of your gift," I continued. "Have you ever heard about psychic abilities?"
"Psy-? I have never heard of such a thing," Azalea said after failing to find a matching word from her mories.
"M- neither," Rose added.
"Well, I didn't expect you to know about it. Therefore, let's talk about telepathy and psychokinesis," I said.
