Flint, Aku, Chuck and Aella are waiting outside as Twenny steps out into the hallway. Flint is the first to speak, "Teacher, could you tell me what just happened?"
Twenny tilts her head, "The king wanted to give us 800,000 gold and a fort with a title and I refused before fixing one of their messes."
Flint shakes his head, "I know I said I'll follow you but WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BEHAVE THAT WAY BEFORE A KING!"
Aku shrugs, "Looks like I'm not the only adult here."
Flint continues, "Though you helped the nation, you made an enemy out of almost everyone there. Even if we need to level up, we still need help from others."
Twenny tilts her head, "Did you receive help from the king to reach this level?"
Flint's words are trapped in his throat. Twenny looks over to see Alcore leaning by a window as his students chat with him, Twenny turns to her group. "Listen, the world isn't black and white. There're a lot of grey areas and no one can truly tell if it's black or white. If we accept the reward, we end up being enslaved and forced to fight for them. Didn't you consider how things will change when we join this kingdom." The trio don't know but Aella knows.
Twenny looks at Aella and Aella speaks, "With you on the kingdom's side it can grow. Zolkia can move from being a small kingdom to a medium kingdom with powerhouses like you. Miss Twenny being a 5th tier mage and possibly a princess, getting her to join this kingdom means the support of wherever she came from. She's probably be asked to marry the crown prince." The trio start to understand things.
Twenny nods, "They'll get ballsy and possibly start a war to gain dominance in the surrounding kingdoms. Meaning we might end up being the cause of wars, being national wars or civil wars. Changes which shouldn't occur will occur and blood will be shed why? Because Zolkia got people to wage the wars for them."
Flint looks down, "I'm sorry for not figuring this out."
Twenny taps his shoulder, "Don't worry, it takes experience to see these things. Now that everything is cleared up, should we head back or Chuck wants to cozy up to Aella for a while." Aella and Chuck blush.
Chuck rubs his toes despite in shoes on the ground, "It won't hurt to spend time together." Aella smiles at those words, Aku find it cute and Flint smiles.
Twenny chuckles, "Well, I guess that's everything. Let's rest and relax in the meantime, we'll head back to Avua later. You can bring Aella along if she's okay being in a village." They split up as Twenny heads towards Alcore.
"Teacher." Twenny turns to see Flint approaching him. Twenny ask, "What's up?"
Flint stands before her, "Teacher, I think there's something wrong." Twenny's eyebrows curls with curiosity, Flint continues. "During the entire time we fought in Frishia, I never levelled up." Twenny's thoughts, "That shouldn't be surprising, we're no longer in the EP dense zone I made so leveling up is the same speed as a normal person's."
Flint bows his head lightly, "Please Teacher, I want to level up to 100 before I die."
Twenny has a satisfied smile as her thoughts, "Good good good. Wait?" she asks, "What makes you think you'll die before you reach level 100?"
Flint gives a wry smile and scratches the back of his head, "Well, I can't stop aging. Soo..."
"Oh, you didn't know." Twenny chuckles.
"Know what?" Flint is confused.
Twenny points at Flint's chest, "The higher your level, the slower you age. At your level, you'll reach 100 years and still look the same. Don't sweat it."
Flint blushes, "Oh, I really didn't know. So umm, could you help me reach level 100?"
Twenny rubs her chin as she observes the entire continent, she sees a vast land before a mountain. "Flint, there's a dungeon to the west. Head there with Chuck, Aku and Aella if she wants to come. Level up as much as you can."
Flint is surprised by her tone, "What about you Teacher?"
Twenny shakes her head, "No, I have something else to do. You guys will do this on your own. It's very dangerous so don't be afraid to quit if it gets too tough." Flint nods, she waves and heads towards Alcore.
Flint turns back and heads outside. Twenny arrives before Alcore as he sends his students away, Twenny rests her arms on the window. They speak in universe 1's language so the maids or anyone present don't understand them. Alcore looks at Twenny, "Sup?"
Twenny looks at the sky, "Hehe, I wasn't expecting to meet you so soon."
Alcore chuckles, "Me neither, it's indeed a small world. How's plan A going?"
"It's going well." Twenny says, "My Agent is quite cooperative."
Alcore chuckles, "It's nice to see my sister busy working compared to her playful personality."
Twenny jabs Alcore in the belly, "Hey, don't make it sound like I've got nothing to do. Also, why a tutor? I knew you had to gather people one way or the other, but a tutor? Really Sers(6)?"
Sers rests his hands beside Twenny as their shoulders rub each other. "It seemed like the easiest way to build an army compared to making one from scratch. The finances, shelter, teaching, everything seemed hard. I took a school since it's financed and has shelter, Plan C is going on without a hitch."
"I'm glad your end is going well. I saw a Collector a while back. *Sigh* Why do they even want this primitive world." Twenny slumps down on the window, people pass by but they can't understand them.
Sers shakes his head, "Collectors, one of those bastards ripped my arm off during the war. If I wasn't a Calamity I would've died. As for why they're here, isn't it because their resources are thinning out? People are abundant here, meaning more food for them. Some of them even eat the dirt below our feet. It's a mystery how they can dige- "
Twenny cuts in, "Arrmitsha is giving a Battleship as a reward."
"Huh?" Sers turns quickly at Twenny, "HUH?!!! Doesn't it realize we can be exposed and we might fail to ambush them?"
"Surprisingly, it does." Twenny pulls herself up the window as her feet is a few centimeters off the ground. "It apparently thinks the BATTLESHIP can be used to protect the survivors rather than letting them scramble before EDF gets here."
Sers rubs his chin, "I get what you're saying. *Sigh* If it thinks it's good then I'll allow it, it might have seen something we missed."
"I hope so." Twenny stands straight, "Hey, can you make a dungeon west of here for me? Since we left the village, leveling is going to be hard with such a small EP density."
"I'll see what I can do." Sers smiles, "And what will you be doing."
Twenny looks over the city as she sees Flint buying food. "I'll try to sort things out in the divine realm and under realm, maybe spy on the enemies. If I can delay any wars until he's level 200, then I can be at ease and let him fight to his heart content. Afterwards, I might get Mother to create a world for farming levels."
Sers nods, "Yeah, climbing above 200 is going to be near impossible. Mother had to evolve just to sustain the abundant power that comes with such a level. If you can't strengthen his constitution then he shouldn't level up any further."
Twenny looks at Chuck with a sad look, "Soon he'll reach his limit. Leveling up is going to be very painful for him." She points at Chuck though to others she's pointing at a random thing.
Sers smiles, "I can toss in some chaos stones in the dungeon so stop the pain. If this Chuck guy is willing to stay till he reaches Lord rank then he won't feel the pain."
"But he could die any time he comes out." Twenny sighs and looks at the sky, "Do you know they use the SUPERNOVA skill as a one hit attack?"
Sers stares at Twenny and burst out laughing, he sees Twenny is serious. "Wait, you're serious?" Twenny nods, "Are you going to tell them what SUPERNOVA really does?"
Twenny shakes her head, "Ignorance is bliss. If I told them the skill, they use at their level is meant to destroy cities, they'd freak out."
Sers smiles and looks at the trio touring the city. "These humans are a strange bunch, maybe if we humans we'd understand them more." Twenny turns her head and looks at Sers, Sers chuckles. "Just because my title is the REAPER doesn't mean I can't care about others."
"I guess it doesn't." Twenny rests her head on her hand. "I gotta ask, why did you make a wreath of heads during Halloween?"
Sers laughs, "Mum doesn't complain if a few heads go missing during Halloween."
Twenny leans back, "But it makes her look more of a monster. Though she's no longer human, whatever. I'm off to the under realm to make some moles." She turns to leave
Sers waves at her, "Good luck little sis." Twenny vanishes, Sers turns to look at the trio touring. He later notices Aella, "Hmmm, a family curse. I'll just get it off."
Aella who's having fun with the trio freezes, she suddenly feels weightless. Tears fall from her eyes as she tries to hide it, her thoughts. "The curse is gone." She turns and makes eye contact with Sers, she noticed a figure watching her so she uses a skill and sees Sers. Sers smiles and waves at her as he walks away.
Sers laughs, "Maybe little sis should give her one of the fake bloodlines." He walks into and merges with the surroundings.
[AU:INFO
AU: SUPERNOVA: An AOE skill that absorbs EP from the environment to make a compressed explosion in the form of a sphere. Since it takes the EP from the environment it's extremely powerful as it could erase a city in seconds. SUPERNOVA is used in the bodies of previous enemies taking only EP from their bodies, that's why the power is significantly small. The average cost to use this skill is at least 50,000 EP for a city and it can be pumped up to go beyond a city.
