Chapter 148 148 His help

[Lucy's POV: ]

Eva finished her bonding process and, now we have a freaking griffin to help us with some of our things. A genuine <SS> rank creature!

It had a diverse set of skills and abilities, powers that were different from any other creature, and, this familiar of Eva.. it was so special that it had [[( Divinity )]] as well. Just that much made it better than most other familiars one could possess.

It was special, just like her. And, he hadn't achieved his full potential yet, so, El and I were excited to see just what more this Asher could achieve in the future.

It would be fun but, there was this little problem before us right now.

"Haaa. The headmaster's here again. Will he help us, Lucy?"

"I don't know."

There was a possibility that we might receive his help regarding this issue if we indirectly threaten him, but, well.. we just did some business with him, and threatening him now would fuck up many things we were planning for later.

It wasn't worth ruining all the things we have done for him until now for a little matter like this one.

"Hahaha. It was a fun watch."

That griffin was now Eva's familiar and The griffins were no chocolate that we could find in any other store.

They were creatures that appeared in epics and now, that same creature of legendary stories had become a familiar of some woman who no one knew practically anything about.

'Having the griffins as familiars was rare even in the other parts of the Worldline. They are rare creatures overall and, according to us, the one Eva bonded with was also from a faraway place from here.'

So, now, there were hundreds of people who had witnessed this unique happening and there was an undeniable possibility that they would spread the word of this event.

It wouldn't be any big problem if the rumors of this event spread naturally but, if the higher powers of the world get to know of it and want to get their hands on the two of them, we might be put into many annoying matters.

It might even hinder our other plans which, definitely wasn't something I wanted anymore.

The labyrinth and dungeon were enough experiences for us on how different things could be from the game from this point on.

I knew things would get really annoying going forward and, the interference of this planet's powers, as well as the fucker higher beings watching us, might turn out to be just as much annoying if they divert too much from the events we knew.

'Not that I'm creating any further plan based on our knowledge of those events we have experienced through the game. Fuck that shit.'

What we do from now on will be, for most parts, the main plan that first includes.. actually, I should think about this a little more.

"So, Evaline, Lucifer, and Auriel. What will you do now?"

"Why are you asking us that question, mister?"

El didn't like him much, but she tried asking that question without any curses. Still, she couldn't hide the annoyance on her pretty face.

And, the headmaster seemed happy to have witnessed this kind of event in a place like this, so he ignored her expression.

"Well, I was just wondering, do you want me to help you with something?"

"Really..?"

"We would be happy if you really do help us with something, headmaster."

The great headmaster was offering help himself, there was no reason to even think of something this rare!

'We would be a fool to even question something he was saying even if they were mere fun words for him!'

Perhaps he was offering that opportunity as a thanks for showing something fun to him, and El was confused since the headmaster doesn't do something like that usually, but, I knew him very well.

This person did offer help rarely when something really fun happened for some really fun people.

And, this was a heaven-given chance for us.

"Haha, sure. What do you want me to do?"

Now this, was a philosophical question.

The one offering help was a part of a prominent Offspring of the Worldline, the help he could provide in this specific context was diverse. But, what to ask him was something that would require a deep understanding not just of him and his powers but also of the kind of situation one was in and the proper answer to solve that predicament.

Even I would have been lacking to answer this question, but, we were together. She was here so, I knew just what to ask him thanks to her amazing mind.

"Ah, so, headmaster, can you please make it seems like the griffin, Asher as Eva has named him, was a normal creature of <A> rank that just resembled a griffin to the helpers and other 'elements' present here. Ah, please exclude us and Eva and those two people over there. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).

And, if you can, can you please take care of the other students and their memories as well?

Oh, and while you are at it, please restore the garden as well. It doesn't look pretty in this state, and..."

Looking at him with the purest and the brightest most innocent smile, I finished the 'request' with a few more things. He was offering help, so, might as well use it to the fullest extent.

"Hmmmm.. interesting. I see what you are trying to do here, and it certainly seems fun. However, are you two sure your actions won't cause any harm to the academy?"

"We don't even want to do that. If anything, the academy will be a stepping stone for when we want to finish things here and ascend."

My smile stayed the same way when I answered that silly question of his.

Now why would we want to harm any aspect of this pretty place that will give us a good amount of resources and money later on when we need it?

[ "You can scam that bastard as well hun? As expected of my Lucy bastard." ]

[ "Shut up for a minute." ]

He was looking at me and was trying to gasp any indication of my statement being a lie, but even after El's little interference, I managed to pass that inspection.

"Alright then. Let's gather the students now. I would like to see just what kind of being the two of you summon."

"We want to see that as well."

"Yesssss~. Let's start it quickly! Let us go first~."

She was excited, we both were actually.

The familiars were special creatures and they changed every time when we played the game.

Perhaps it was a random gotcha type thing for the players when it was a game but now that we would be summoning something that actually resonated with our souls, things will be different. Very different.

'We were excited about it for quite a while now, but, since he had said it now, it meant the time to get our first and perhaps last ever 'real' familiar had arrived.'

-Oooooooooong!

"Alright then."

The headmaster created some kind of spell.. actually, no.

It was neither a spell nor a skill but the materialization of one of his authorities.

Skills and magic weren't going to be enough when he had to deal with so many elements present in a place as special as this garden of six seasons inside this special place called the academy.

He needed a greater power and the [Authority] was one of the greatest powers one could possess in this Worldline.

'So, he used it, and, things were sorted out.'

The people and students were dealt with, and their memories were completely altered. The garden returned to normal and the students appeared in this part of the garden while all the helpers who had managed to bond with their familiars, including our Eva, vanished from this area and, though we didn't see them, we knew they had all went inside the academy castle to finish their registration and get their ID cards.. right. ID cards.

"Attention all students present!"

Everyone needed an ID card to enter or exit the academy. Without them, it wasn't possible for any outside force to pass through the parameter of the academy unless they were as strong as the strongest people of this world, had direct protection of some prominent higher being, or were in possession of some extremely rare artifact, or, fate forgive, a [Relic].

We students also had the IDs, but, ours were a little different from what the official helpers of the academy got.

"We will now declare the final rankings and the points obtained in the practicals!"

As the students were connected to the academy's unique personal system, they received a virtual ID in the form of another status window that contained not the skills and stats and points and stuff. That much was basic things.

But, this unique academy status window contained the 'points' we possessed, the entry and exit 'passes' of the academy, the 'permissions' to enter some unique facilities of the academy, and some of its other functions including a 'Bulletin Board', 'Student forums', and 'Virtual classrooms'.

It was a special function given only to the students and according to the 'points' earned during the entrance exam and other academic tests, the functions and facilities of this status window and the academy itself that one could use varied accordingly.

[ "Lucy bastard. If I'm first, you will give me two wishes." ]

[ "Yeah, no thanks." ]

I am done with the wish and date things. We can play this game later.

For now, the rankings, the summonings, the dorms, and.. us. That's all I had the power for.

'I am tired..'

I want to finish this and just, go down on her.
