Chapter 155 155 The reward calculations
[Lucy's POV: ]
"I have some questions headmaster-"
[Reward calculations are complete.]
"We will check this later."
I closed the window announcing the reward completion for the dungeon raid we had a while before and looked back at the headmaster with a serious look. But..
[Reward calculations for the labyrinth performance are complete.]
"You should just check out your rewards first. It isn't every day the eldest sister takes so long just to evaluate the performance and match up the appropriate rewards."
His voice was calm as he said that and he was still smiling.. he definitely didn't want to talk about Anna and Cary right now.
[Reward calculation for the academic performance in the test area <Labyrenth of Malacus> is complete.]
[Reward calculation for overall performance is complete.]
[Reward calculation for obtaining a place in the high rankings of the (tier-9) Worldline academic rankings is complete.]
[Reward calculation for the conquest of one-time <D> grade dungeon: Eisheth's prison is complete.]
[Reward calculation for making several higher beings reveal their true names is complete.]
[Reward calculation for being the youngest one to achieve mastery of a weapon in the Worldline area #321CF is complete.]
[Reward calculation for being the youngest one to defeat a 'corrupted' creature of demonic nature is complete.]
[Reward calculation for slaying a demon 'Lord' ranked demon completely by yourself is complete.]
[Reward calculation for achieving a very rare feat that was acknowledged by more than three major 'factions' of the Worldline is complete.]
[Reward calculation for the achievement of being the cause of a [System glitch] is complete.]
[Reward calculation for further achievements have been completed and will be announced by the Worldline.]
"So that's why it was taking so long, huh? But why calculate all of these things individually? Aren't they connected anyway?"
"They sure are connected, however, according to what I heard, the problem was with the unique nature of all the achievements that could not be rewarded in the same manner as the other one. They were unique so the calculations needed for all of them had to be separate from the other and thus, the long wait. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1jn.
And, after clearing the dungeon and achieving that high of a score, you two tried performing the summoning and coincidentally, the only ones that your souls matched turned out to be these two, so, while in the middle of the previous calculations, a glitch occurred in the system and you were transported to them instead of the whole process being terminated.
It was all the actions you did prior to attempting the summoning that you were able to go to that unique realm where these two were sealed and bring them back with you after accepting them as your familiars.
And, since they willingly became your familiars, another set of greater achievements were detected and eldest sister had to leave things entirely to lord mother."
"Hmmm.."
[ "Oyyy! I didn't become her familiar willingly-" ]
"Shut up, Cary. Elders are speaking."
She closed his mouth with her other hand and looked at the set of screens that had opened only before her, the screens saying how to reward calculations for her 'new magic creation', the 'advanced support during the dungeon run', and four or so more regarding her contributions in the raid as well as things related to the happenings after that.
'There were also windows saying how she achieved some phenomenal feats that were unique and how her 'answers' of our written test had influenced not just the voice of the world but many of the offsprings as well.'
She had achieved some amazing feats today, but she was interested in my notifications more than her own.
[ "Why did you become a master before me, you bastard? Connect the screens. Lemme see what stuff you get." ]
[ "It won't be something out of the world like your rewards though. Why do you wanna-" ]
[ "Shut up and what I said." ]
[ "..yes." ]
She looked at the headmaster with a questioning look with squinted her eyes for a moment before grabbing my hand and connecting our popping status windows.
She was shocked to find out Anna was someone so special and the fact that her little cute dragon was such a special being had also surprised her.
She didn't know he was so special.. not that she would treat him any differently after knowing that, but, she was surprised. And, though this situation was pretty favorable to us ultimately, she didn't like the headmaster's attitude.
"The rewards are one thing headmaster, but tell me this.. does the fact that the two of them are out of that place and are now with us known to anyone other than the offsprings?"
"According to my knowledge, I do not think so. There's an unwritten rule between us that prevents us from spreading information that could affect the 'grand flow' or hinder the 'balance'.
We all are subjects as well, so, Laws also affect us just as much as other elements."
He was technically saying no. Which was a good enough answer for her.
"Then headmaster, don't you have your personal rewards for us and rewards for getting so many points and being the first-ranked students?"
"Ah, right. It had almost slipped my mind."
-Snap!
We temporarily put a halt on the rewards from before and focused on the things that the headmaster should have given us right after the summonings were over.
They weren't going to do anything special. They shouldn't have been anything special according to the basic reward calculations that we had done previously however, things had not gone as we had expected.
We earned far, far more points thanks to the corrupted monster and since we were already on the personal list of the headmaster or the worldline list for the students that had done something very, very extraordinary during their school times, the rewards we would get should obviously be extraordinary.
'I was excited since the moment I thought about it for the first time, but, Rein had a speculation that the rewards for our achievement would undoubtedly be something extraordinary.'
She didn't know what it would be but she was certain that we would be near the point of closeness to the headmaster that usually takes us a few months or a year.
His interest in us should have reached the point at which we could get that certain 'relic' or at least something of real value.. however, even we didn't think he would offer us something like This...
