[Lucy's POV: ]
I was using my [Perseverance] for this fight… which gave the single-mindedness to focus on the task before .
'It used to be a difficult skill to use at the start since the task I wanted to accomplish beca the only thing that my mind and body focused on, so it took a long ti to find out the proper way to use this skill.'
And now that I knew it, this simple skill of mine was nothing less than one of the cheat skills similar to what the other main characters of this ga possessed.
'A rare skill that kinda allowed to go on auto-pilot mode. Certainly a cheat I would say.'
It was a new technique to master but similar to El's parallel minds, I have learned to split my mind and body so that they could focus on two different tasks, mainly, the task that I want to accomplish through [Perseverance] and the thinking process that I might require to counter any outside interferences to the assigned task.
'It's similar to having control of mind and soul at the sa ti, and operating them individually.'
It was difficult, very difficult actually, so I had always avoided using it during actual fights in the past. But now I have no problems with it.
I could now cancel the skill anyti I wanted midway upon the perceiving of outside interference, and go back to the task after taking care of it.
'I can even do other observations and make decisions that my 'focused' self couldn't.'
It was in no way a simple technique. Even El couldn't do it even though she understood it completely.
'Perhaps it was because of the specific effects of my [Perseverance] and [Six Walls] but, I can do that. Still, though, I was unable to perform any task unrelated to the task I was 'focused' on while the skill was in effect. So, my next goal with this technique was to 'do sothing' while being focused on 'doing sothing else'.
'I might just create sothing new if I'm successful with this thing.'
This was exciting, but, it was a task for later.
"You did well. You are certainly a good swordsman."
"I still lost though…"
He had a bitter expression, but he was smiling and there was admiration in his eyes as he looked at .
"Thank you for the amazing fight. I hope we can et again in the future."
"Of course, we will et. How about having breakfast together after the test is over?"
He was a nice guy, perhaps we can use him for sothing. Or at least having normal friends in a school wasn't a bad idea either, right?
"It would be my honor."
He bowed gracefully as the nobles of the eastern continent do. And put his sword with a curved tip in his sheath.
"I'm called Swarn. I look forward to seeing you again mister Lucifer."
"Oh…? You know my na already?"
"Everyone knows the na of first ranked person with the highest points, sir. Hahaha."
He was humble as well. How nice.
"We couldn't do the formal introductions, but I hope we can at least have a better chat later on. Ah, and please don't use honorifics. It is emberessing, master Swarn."
"The feeling is mutual, 'master' Lucifer."
"Hahaha."
He was a good guy. Yeah, good one. Having a friend like him wouldn't be so bad. I might be able to help him in the future.
"Alright then."
Walking ahead a few steps, I glanced back and nodded at him a little.
"Until next ti."
"Until next ti..."
He nodded back, with the admiration still present in his eyes. He perhaps gained so kind of inspiration after fighting so he was grateful to .
And I was helpful to soone else, which was a good thing overall.
'Interesting person.'
There was perhaps sothing about him that I was missing, but, there was no need to think about that right now. We are going to et again soon, so the chat can wait until then.
...
[ "Oy, Lucy bastard." ]
I had walked forward and was just about to start running when she spoke up, and her voice contained that little mix of excitent and uncertainty.
[ "Yes? What's up? You finishing there?" ]
[ "Yeah. Gim your luck. Mine isn't working anymore." ]
She wanted my luck… sure. Everything that I had was hers anyway.
[ "I, Lucifer, pass my luck to my partner, Auriel for her little task temporarily. May her wishes be fulfilled and happiness kisses her pretty feet.
There, you now have my blessed luck. Apologies in advance if it doesn't work though." ]
She could have my luck, my Mana, my heart, my blood if she wanted… but whatever she was taking, she would have to be prepared to give sothing of equal value in return as well. The law of equivalent exchange was eternal, or perhaps not in so of our cases, but it was certainly eternal in this world.
[ "You bastard… why are you acting so cheeky? And why are you so happy? Hmmm… sothing's fishy." ]
This link between us worked in one side's favor sotis. We couldn't hide our emotions even if we wanted to. Tsk.
[ "You certainly did sothing… but what? Hmmm…" ]
Now she will open the status window, click on the ranking lists, see my na and points on the top spot-
[ "You fucking bastard!!!" ]
And shout that very thing in her mind as well as out loud. Just as I knew.
[ "Go fucking die! Burn yourself! Go drown in so well! Or better! Co here! Let kill you myself!!" ]
She can kill , she might actually kill on so unfortunate day while she's feeling like it, I had no doubt she could. Or perhaps she can 'almost' kill many tis while we were doing so personal activity.
She had done it many tis previously in the ga, almost in the reality as well. But I managed to crawl back to her every ti. So, she just knows, I will co back to her here as well.
Or perhaps she will bring back, or if she can't do that, she will co to fetch up from that place.
I would do the sa, but there was no need to. Since there was no way I was going to where she was right now.
'It's better to leave her alone when she is like this. Things haven't ended anyway.'
I had ti till she reached that place so I wasn't going to just sit around the entire ti. There were so places with monsters nearby. I will go hunt them until she reaches there.
[ "Tsk. Your good luck didn't work this ti, fucking bastard." ]
'Then why are you telling that? Dummy. Just kill whatever you summoned.'
There shouldn't be sothing she can't handle there anyway-
[ "Oh wait." ]
Hmmm?
She was getting curious about sothing. The feeling I could feel through our connection was clearly her curiosity.
'Which is usually followed by excitent, or anger, or disappointnt, or sadness.'
She must have summoned sothing unique, not your usual goblins, wolves, or creatures we see every day but sothing unique-
[ "Wohhhhh! Lucy! I summoned a sli!!" ]
Okay, not sothing unique but seeing her excitent, she must have summoned a sli that we don't see every day at least, right? Hopefully?
[ "An Intelligent sli!!!" ]
[ "What? What the fuck?!" ]
[ "Yessss! And it's a newborn!" ]
[ "Holy shit…" ]
'No... fuckin... way...'
Was it my good luck or was her luck sothing that bursts out occasionally all at once? What was this situation… and, we were inside a place that used to be an original dragon's ho as well as an elder lich's base.
Having a young, intelligent sli in a place like this... there were countless possibilities of which evolutionary path she could put this one through.
This was certainly unbelievable.
Truly unbelievable.
Fuck.
'She hit a jackpot in true aning this ti. Bitch…'
