Chapter 248 248 Runestone of skills
[El's POV: ]
What the hell?
[ "Oy, darling. Do you see what I am seeing as well?" ]
[ "By that, if you mean the three status windows with the details of the three cards, yes I see that as well. And from the looks of it, we are the only ones who can see this." ]
[ "Then explain to me what the hell are these things. Have you seen these things before?" ]
[ "The runestones? Well, I have heard about them. Never got the chance to actually see one though so this is also my first time seeing one. However, from what I know, the [Runestones] were created by the ancient civilization and they are even rarer than the artifacts of an ancient civilization.
So, well, I at least think this absurdity is authentic." ]
'What does he mean authentic? How can something like this be authentic in the first place? These things are practically even more absurd than the crown skills we currently possess.'
The Wheel of Fortune was the right thing so putting it on one side, the other two status windows of the black and white cards were sus.

[Rune of Pride]
—-> Contains the unique skill: [Pride].
[Pride]
—-> A unique skill of unknown grade that was attached to this runestone by the people of a very old unknown civilization.

============
This was the white card hovering before my face. And even though all that was written in the description was too good to accept, the last line said it wasn't all that was to this skill? What the hell more does it have?!
And this wasn't even the worst part!
…
============
[Rune of Vow]
—-> Contains the unique skill: [Vow].
[Vow]

============
[ "That one should have been mine, damnit! Think about how many slaves and servants you can have by that faith stat~. They are much better than a few subordinates! And the ability to control space as well! Damn, that one is supposed to be my specialty!" ]
The card before him was a pure black one, completely opposite of mine. And even though many of the things written in these explanation windows were fascinatingly amazing, it was obvious that the things written in them were not everything there was to these skills.
[ "Calm down El… and firstly, put these things away. They are attracting too much attention." ]
[ "Hump. Bastard. Fucking lucky bastard." ]
We just wanted the wheel of fortune and we had intended for that one thing alone. However, with some strange turn of fate, we got these two special runestones as well.
'And thanks to how they were currently sealed inside blank cards, all the attention was focused on the golden card of our wheel of fortune floating before both of us.'
It was too attractive for any of them to pay attention to the other two normal-looking cards.
This much was obviously understandable since people mostly like the shiny things on a common base. And these especially shiny things were like a candy before the bored kids.
"If everyone has gotten their things, let us all go now. The others are waiting for turns."
I didn't know what the others got yet, but from the reactions of the students and themselves, it was obvious that they received something good. Something that was useful to them.
'Rex and Cathy were a little confused by what they got and it was almost the same for Leon and Lily, but, it was nothing like a bad curse or a shitty thing that they could not use.
'Whatever the others got was definitely something they liked and I will know what they got later anyway, so for now, we should get this over with.'
After stringing my own runestone skill card and the card containing the ancient artifact that could free us from the constraints of chance, I went back to Nessy and Cathy, thanked Phill for helping us, and after Nes and Cathy thanked him as well, I dragged my girls away from this garden…
There was nothing left to do in this garden now that we were done with this wishing process, and we already had things to talk about, so, just in case, I picked up Lily as well.
[Ding!]
It was going to be a girl talk so I was planning to take all of them to my own room in our dorm, however, my creative plans were washed up completely when a green academy system window popped up before all of us.
"Hmmm? What?"
"El…?"
"Oh, it says you and Lucifer are called to the headmaster's office."
It was quite fucking genuinely a school-wide announcement. And if that much wasn't enough, even that old fantasy wizard bastard appeared before us with his innocent smile along with my bastard Lucy.
"Allow me to escort you two to the headmaster's office."
"Do I have any say in this matter? I am pretty busy with these hot girlfriends of mine."
I didn't like this fucking bastard.
"I believe not, Lady Auriel. The announcement specifically said it is an urgent matter that could not be talked about openly like that."
"Fuck you."
"Hmmm? Pardon? I didn't catch that?"
Say that without a smirk on your face you fucking old wizard!
Damn, bastards!
I wanted to have fun with the ladies now that I had the wheel of fortune in my hands, but no?!
What the hell is the deal with these fucking old men?!
"El, let's just see-"
"Shut the fuck up, bastard. Half of this is your fault."
"Mine?"
Yes, yours!
I know for sure this is because of the two extra cards we got along with the wheel of fortune. And the only reason we would have gotten those two fucked up things would be because of this bastard.
'He must have fucked up something somewhere, and now I have to say goodbyes to my girls!'
Bastards!
Old bastards and this bastard!
They don't ever let me have my peace time with my friends!
For sleep's sake, we just got back from that damned dungeon, people!
