"Is this really a mission?"
[Correct.]
"Brotherly... affection?"
[Correct.]
"Me and him?"
[Correct.]
"Now?"
[Correct.]
"For example?"
[A hug.]
Suddenly...
Boom! Pow! Bam...!
Rean and Roan started to kick the Soul Gem Orb without mercy!
"Brotherly affection, my ass!"
"Who the hell will hug that guy? I'm in this situation because of him to start with!"
[Action is Necessary.]
Boom! Pow! Bam...!
[Hosts must understand that onl-]
Boom! Pow! Bam! Crash!
[Hosts...]
Boom! Pow! Bam! Crash! Poing!
[Fuck you! You wanna fight? Then we will fight!]
Out of nowhere, the Orb took flight and began to crash against Rean and Roan! But above all, it now had a woman's voice!
"It can fly?"
Too late, though. Rean and Roan didn't have time to think about anything else.
Boom! Pow! Bam! Crash! Poing!
It didn't take long before the twins were full of round purple marks. If the Soul Gem Orb hadn't held itself back, they definitely would have a few bones broken. Even their Initial Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm was not enough to contend against it.
[Is that all? Come on! Weren't you the braves ones just a moment ago? What happened to your guts?]
[Ah!]
[Cough, cough. Hosts incapability of movement detected, standing by.]
Rean and Roan felt like crying already!
Sister! Who do you think you are trying to fool here?
While feeling pain all over their body, the twins got up once more.
Rean then looked at the Orb with some fear, but he gritted his teeth and said.
"Errr... Sister Orb. Can't you change the mission?"
[Request Denied.]
"Come on, Sister Orb. You are so magnanimous, sure you can choose something else."
Roan understood what Rean was trying to do and immediately joined him.
"Right, right! Sister Orb is so smooth, shiny, and elegant. Changing the mission to something more acceptable is definitely an easy task for someone as amazing as you."
[Request De... Analyzing Request.]
Rean and Roan's eyes instantly lit up.
"As expected of Sister Orb, such an open mind. No wonder Sister Orb is beautiful as a swan."
"How can you say that of Sister Orb? I swan can't possibly compare with Sister Orb's demeanor."
"Right, right! How could I say such a thing? System Orb is the most beautiful and noble Orb in the entire Universe."
[Mission Change Request Accepted.]
[New Mission: Kill 10 Stage One Demon Beasts.]
Rean and Roan let out a sigh of relief. Anything but a hug! They would rather die!
"Let's leave before she changes her mind."
But it was then that they remembered.
"How do we leave this place?"
[Leaving Request Denied.]
[Database is empty and needs more information.]
[Hosts most provide more information from the outside world before leaving requests can be processed.]
Roan looked bewildered at the White and Black Soul Gem Orb.
"Well, if it is just giving more information about what we saw so far, then it shouldn't be a problem."
Although Roan thought like that, Rean had an entirely different idea.
"Sister Orb... Could it be that you are feeling lonely and want someone to talk with?"
As soon as Rean asked that, the Orb trembled a little. But it soon returned to its unmovable state.
"Seems like I hit the bullseyes."
Roan couldn't help but ask through their Soul connection.
"How did you know?"
Rean only shrugged his shoulder, though.
"Quite simple. Sister Orb had been inside my soul during my entire previous life, but she had never appeared. Also, I doubt that she can't see the outside world, so what does she need to hear that she hasn't seen yet? So I thought that perhaps she was feeling lonely."
Roan understood what he meant and then started to help. They simply talked about ordinary things that happened every day. Now and then, 'Sister Orb' would make a few questions using that pretense of a machine language. Of course, Rean and Roan know that, but didn't point it out. First, they need to get on her good sides. Anything else can wait.
Finally, after an entire hour of talking, Sister Orb decided to let them go.
Rean and Roan then magically appeared in their room as if not had happened. Well, nothing as long as no one pays attention to the purple round marks that Sister Orb left on their bodies earlier.
They quickly put their clothes and went to sleep. Tomorrow was their second day as teachers, after all.
---
The next day morning, Rean and Roan were already back in class. However, the signs that they got a beating was still present on their bodies. When Alanda saw that, he couldn't help but laugh.
"To think that you still get beaten by your mother. Hahaha!"
The twins felt gloomy hearing that, but they couldn't simply say that a magical sentient orb, which only they can see, was responsible for it. Let alone tell that the Orb seems like to be a female... or so they think.
'Well, she didn't reject when we called her Sister Orb, so I guess it is right to assume that she is a female.'
As the kids arrived in the class, they soon noticed the awful look on Rean and Roan's faces. Immediately, they recalled the previous day's events and felt fearful. Rean and Roan are small, just like them, but they are too strong!
A few minutes later, all the kids were present. Rean and Roan then started to go kid by kid, checking their homework. Although there were loads of mistakes, there wasn't a single kid who didn't at least finish it.
"Very well, it seems like no one will receive the double beati- cough, cough, fighting lessons today."
All the kids noticed, though.
'He was definitely going to say beating!'
"Still! Except for Inna Malaka, all of you committed several mistakes, so your fighting lessons will be extended a little more to compensate for that."
Alanda could help but laugh when he saw the kids' bodies trembling after hearing that.
'Seems like Juri was right, those two can be excellent teachers.'
