Blood Evolution System Chapter 50

The next day, the temporary students woke up early in the morning, some without any help at all, some with the help of alarm, some with the help of the faculty members, and some with the help of the droids.
After taking a cold shower, Nevis dried his body with a towel and wore a fashionable set of clothes, before walking out of the bathroom and sitting on one of the two beds, and he then turned to look at the person meditating on the other bed.
"So, she is your sister. Buddy, can you tell me more about her?" Nevis asked as he pretty curious about the angelic sister he saw last night and he wanted to know more about her.
John gave him an exhausted look. It might be pure coincidence or some other reason, but he and Nevis somehow ended up being roommates. Last night, he kept on asking questions about Vincent and his sister, exhausting him to the point where he fell asleep in the middle of the chat.
"I told you already to forget about her. You will only end up in pain if you chase after her. Although you are a royal, you don't have a chance to impress my sister. After all, she is already head over heels for big brother Vincent. I know for a fact that they had both like each other for a while, but it's just that they never expressed their feelings to each other. Once they do, they will become an inseparable couple."
As soon as John said those words, the eyes of Nevis blinked in wonderment as he looked at him in bewilderment. Immediately after, his eyes widened as if he realized what's happening.
"Buddy, I think you're misunderstanding my intentions. Last night, I only sacrificed myself for the benefit of others. I have no interest in your sister as a woman. I am genuinely interested in her as a person and would like to know her better and possibly even befriend her. That's pretty much all. She isn't my love interest or anything like that," Nevis said as he tidied his wavy hair.
"But yesterday, didn't you say that you will try to win her heart?" John said as he scratched his head in confusion.
"Oh that. I guess it really was misleading. It's all become of Generous Viewer. You see this?" Nevis showed him yesterday's lifestream chat. "He told me to act like that, and he even send me 2000 rockets, as I managed to break Vincent's stoic character and forced him to say what he felt in his heart," Nevis said with a smile as he believed that he did a good job with uniting two people in love.

"Ah. Now I get it," John said. "What's the rockets for? Is it some kind of money that online streamers get?"
"I guess you can say that. It can be exchanged for virtual credits. You need 500 rockets to exchange for one virtual credit. I earned 4 last night," Nevis said.
"How much is that in federation cash?" John asked as he was curious about the currency exchange rate.
He was never able to gain access to virtual reality as he wasn't rich enough to buy a device that can connect to the virtual network. The information related to virtual reality can only be found in the virtual world. That's why he didn't know the value of virtual credits.
"Hmm, a single virtual credit can be traded for nearly five thousand federation cash," Nevis answered after glancing at the exchange rates.
"Wow, that means you earned 20k in one day, and that too by doing nothing at all," John exclaimed as he looked at Nevis.
"Buddy, how can you say that? I work hard alright. I completed my viewer's request. That's why I got awarded with so many rockets. Besides, didn't you saw them leaving the infirmary together? I believe that I helped pushed their relationship to the next level. You can hardly find a good man like me that acts as a matchmaker in this world," Nevis said as he recalled them peeking at Vincent and Leila last night while hiding in the corridors.
"We still don't know about that," John replied before he stood up to wear a new set of clothes.
"You will see!" Nevis exclaimed as John closed the bathroom door on his face.
After he came out of the bathroom, it was already near the time for the next assessment to begin.
"Buddy, let's go. Only five minutes are left before the next assessment begins," Nevis said.
"Eh? Were you waiting for me?" John said as he looked at him with an expression of bewilderment.
"Duh, isn't it obvious?"
John scratched the back of his head as he thought that it has only been a day since they met yet he is treating him like a close friend. Is this person that thirsty for friends?
"Alright, let's go together," he said.

Thus, he and Nevis headed out of the room, walking towards the exam room. It wasn't just them as a lot of students could also be seen sprinting towards the same place where they were heading.
As they were walking through the crowd, Varth sneakily brushed past them. A tiny insect-shaped record jumped out of his sleeves and entered John's clothes without anyone noticing.
A few minutes ago, the persons who Nevis and John were talking about were laying on the bed, one sleeping soundly in the warm embrace of her lover while the other staring at her, wondering why he didn't clearly express himself earlier and held her hand sooner.
It's because he was the type of guy that finds it hard to express his feelings clearly.
"She looks so cute," Vincent thought while staring at Leilani's sleeping face.
In the middle of the night, she has transformed back into a human being.
Leilani's eyes fluttered open as she felt someone's hot breath brushing against her skin. She looked up and saw Vincent staring at her.
"Good morning," Vincent said as he kissed her forehead.
Leilani's cheeks flushed red and she hid her face in his chest, her heart pounding rapidly.
"You too. I hope you have a nice day," Leilani said in a gentle and meek tone.
"Thanks for wishing me well," Vincent said as he caressed her head. "Go get ready. We don't have much time left."
After he said those words, Leilani turned around to look at the clock and her eyes widened as she realized that only ten minutes were left before the third assessment begins.
"You should have woke me up sooner," she complained
"It's honestly your fault. You looked so cute while sleeping that I forgot everything else, and just continued to stare at you," Vincent said as he teasingly smile.
"I am gonna get ready!" she exclaimed as she evaded his gaze.
Leilani pinched his cheeks, stood up, and went to the bathroom to dress up in a hurry.
"Let's hold hands," Vincent offered one they were ready to head out of the room.
"Sure," Leilani replied as she held on to one of his hands.
Along the way, Vincent and Leilani met up with Nevis and Peter.
Once Nevis saw him holding Leilani's hand as she was his treasure that he couldn't afford to lose, a smile stretched across his face.
"See that?"
"Yeah. From that small gesture of holding hands, I can see that they have gotten closer," Peter said as he rubbed his chin while looking at his sister and her boyfriend while standing a few steps away from them.
"I told you so," Nevis said with a smile.
The temporary students hurriedly made their way to the examination room. The examiners were already in the room, sitting on comfortable chairs, sipping on some kind of refreshments.
"Senior, what's the test going to be about?" Kayle asked as she looked at the elven men sitting beside her.
"A simple psychological game," Theodore replied with an expression of mysteriousness. "Those who fall short to live up to our standard will be immediately filtered out."
"I'm guessing a lot of students will break under the pressure," Alex said.
"Hmm, you're correct. A sword that easily bends and breaks is useless to our cause. After all, it will only be burdensome to carry such swords. So I thought that this year, it's better to disqualify such students, rather than accepting them all, and as this is the last test that allows disqualification, I decided to hold it on my own. I hope you guys aren't dissatisfied." Theodore said as he crossed his legs, looking at the temporary students with a thoughtful gaze.
"Not at all," Kayle said.
"I think like. Besides, it's as you say, Senior. It's useless to waste resources on students with fragile mentality."
As Alex said those words, Theodore closed his eyes as warm and bitter liquid went down his throat, clearing his senses and warming his body.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
