...

After further investigations, leading to more unanswered questions, Yulius and Chelsea decided to call it a day and dismiss everyone. Tomorrow, they'll discuss about Eminence's debut while also gathering more information about the dragons and the basilisks. 

Since the next day will certainly be eventful, peace of mind is undeniably required. Not that anyone other than their chairwomen will be taking the night off as they're busy training their a*s off. Yulius knows this but is too lazy to remind them to rest. 

Even if she did, they would go against her wishes. Which is odd, who goes against their master's wishes just to train. Moreover, Yulius doesn't have it in her heart to say no to their puppy eyes. Gosh, they're almost as effective as Jiwoo's. 

Luckily for them, going against her wishes just to train wasn't that much of a big deal, so she let it slide. If it were anything else, she probably would've scolded them before putting them in the time-out zone. Image that, a grown a*s man being put in time-out by a 7-year-old. How funny.

Speaking of which, within their 4 months of nothing but pure hell-ish tortu- ahem, I mean training, it was the twin's birthday. In celebration, they threw their master a birthday party at midnight since they'll be celebrating theirs with their brother in the daytime. 

The day was one to remember as somehow, Chelsea bribe someone to give her a drink, not just any drink, but an alcoholic one. That birthday will be remembered as Chelsea's first sip of alcohol in her 2nd life. Woohoo!

It's just, she's too young. Luckily for her, nobody found out except her twin of course, who felt an unsettling sizzle flushing inside her entire body. A sensation she couldn't possibly forget after having a taste of alcohol in her 1st life. 

She knew she didn't have an alcoholic drink so the only explanation would be her dear little sister. No surprise there, as the one-time Chelsea hopes for her twin-connection bond with her twin to not work, it fails on her.

Seriously, out of all the days, it just had to be that day. Then again, she shouldn't have put it behind her as that day was their birthday, meaning their bond was at its strongest since it was the day they were brought into the world. God bless to that. 

Though their twin connection is a blessing in disguise, it's something they cannot comprehend, even till this day. It's similar to the one in their previous life, the only difference is it's way stronger and they're actually blood related. 

Moreover, their emotions are somewhat connected. For example, if one is in extreme pain, then the other twin will obviously feel it too. Not to the extent the original one feels, but a part of it. It's still very painful all in all. 

There are both pros and cons to having their emotions linked to one another. Pro being, they're able to check up on their twin, making sure they're alive and well. Con being the pain. In addition, the pain could go both ways, whether it's emotional or physical pain, the connection allows each side to have an idea of what it's like. 

Now I know some will question how they will feel each other's emotional pain. Well, if one were to experience immense heart ache, leading to an anxiety attack, the other twin will experience it too, just on a smaller pain scale. It will still feel like their heart is being ripped out of them. 

And so nobody confuses themselves, though their emotions are felt through the link, it doesn't mean what one of the twin feels, goes onto the other twin. A visual perspective of this is if Yulius falls in love, Chelsea will obviously feel it, but won't have the same feelings as her toward the individual she loves. Got it? 

Which is another reason why they're exceedingly guarded with their hearts. Because if they give their heart to the person, they happen to love the most, there's a chance they'll break it, leading to her pain not only being felt by herself, but also her twin. 

And Yulius and Chelsea care and love (even if they don't admit it out loud) each other too much to allow any possible harm to come their way. Particularly why they avoid any and all emotional intimacy, only keeping those who are dear to them currently, (Jiwoo, their mother, Eminence) close. 

Unfortunately, fate, gosh how they hate that word, has something else in store for them. Whether they obtain forever with them, or have their heart forcefully ripped out of them, only time will tell. 

Luckily for them, they won't die from such thing. Their time affinity basically makes them immortal, and if for whatever reason their ability is cancelled out, their lives are link. So, to permanently kill them, you have to kill the both of them. 

As easy as that sounds, it's not. You have to kill them both relatively at the same time before one manages to resurrect themselves within 10 minutes. Then again, who's to say anyone in the awakened world has the capabilities to leave a scratch on them in the first place. 

Sure, if the Top 10's were to come together and attack the twins all at once, it'd be hard, but they'll win. Not like Gojo Satoru. But it's unlikely for all the Top 10's to come together just to get rid of 2 teenagers as they're too prideful for that. 

If word got out that they did, their reputation will crumble. What kind of grown a*s adults bullies 2 children? They'll certainly be the laughingstock of the century if that did indeed happen.

(Or read it for all I care)

... 

But I don't believe Veramonte Patrick and Gestella, 2 of the World's Top 10's would do such a thing. In the manhwa, sure Veramonte is one prideful old man, but he has the power to back that up. Even so, he did scold his grandson for challenging Jiwoo who is a newly awakener.

Meaning it's unlikely for him and the Patrick family to participate in a manhunt for 2 minors. Seriously, if it sounds stupider when you say it out loud, just image how the entire Patrick family will feel once they catch wind of this. They'll be embarrassed, that's for sure. 

As for Gestella, she is not greedy like most awakeners who seek fame and money. She is happy with what she has currently and doesn't wish to expand her followings like most. Also, she's not prideful, and that was shown when she apologized on behalf of her disciple who went behind her back and attack Jiwoo without her permission. 

If that's not enough to convince you, it was also hinted that she is Kayden's love interest. Who is she to dare harm what is his? So, she's certainly out of the bubble of suspects who would hunt down 2 children. Personally, she seems like the kind of person who would adopt them and hide them away from the world. 

Too bad for her, they already have a parent. Actually, make that parents. After all, having 3 dad's in the future is nothing to scoff at. At most, she could be their godmother. 

Anyways, back to the subject. 

Their future master, Kayden Break who defeats Astra, resulting in him becoming part of the Top 10's, wouldn't dare harm his precious disciples. So that too is out of the question. 

That leaves 7/10 of the Top 10's who would possibly attack them.

But I believe they can cross out Schnauder and Supri Baster as possible suspects. Supri would rather avoid troublesome affairs while Schnauder seems like the kind of dude that would rather fight someone fairly 1 on 1, then obtain help from others. 

But if the twins were to get in the way of Frame, that's a completely different story. Not that it would matter as neither of them, not even all of the Top 10's combine, stand a chance against them. 

...

...

Although most of the Top 10's would perceive them as a threat that needs to be erase, that will be under their Eminence chairwomen disguise, Yuna and Celestial. So, the good news is, no harm shall come upon Yulius and Chelsea Seo for a very long time. 

Well not until the plot starts. Put even then, they wouldn't reveal their identity unless it is absolutely necessary... Scratch that, Chelsea and her dramatic psychotic self will blow their cover one way or another. But at the very least, Yulius managed to get her to give her word that she will not do that until the plot starts. 

So good for her, she managed to buy them time. More so her, as she values peace and quiet. And she will so very miss it once her identity as one of Eminence chairwomen is reveal. Gosh, she's dreading that day. 

But at last, like Thanos says, "I am… inevitable."

In her case, it is inevitable. All she can do is prepare for that very day. Moreover, both of them at some point needs to tell their brother and those they'll eventually grow close to about their true identity before revealing it to the world. As they deserve that much, displaying their trust in them. 

What they worried about is if they look at them in a different light. Which wouldn't have worried them too much if it was other people, but they aren't just other people. They'll people they trust, care for, and love. Additionally, developed a close bond with. Their true friends, mentor, etc. 

I don't believe their heart can take it, if they were to turn their backs on them. They know their brother and mother wouldn't, but that's because of blood relation. Who's to say they won't look at them differently for keeping a big fat secret that was only meant to protect them. 

But they're just overthinking this, right? 

They surely won't be disowned like Arthur Leywin, right? 

After all, they have no intention of revealing their reincarnation. Like ever. Moreover, what would they say even if they did reveal it. That this was nothing more but a fantasy world they read off their phone in their 1st life. Surely, they'd be put in mental hospital.

Which was why they put a seal on themselves, blocking any and all information relating to their past life. Because if there's a possibility that someone manages to look through their memories, they're screwed. And even if they're aware that their sixth eyes will protect them from all mental assaults, there's nothing wrong with adding another layer of security.

It's saddening reality, really. They have no faith in people, thinking of the worst possibilities immediately, instead of seeing things on the good side. Perhaps that will be fixed one day. That may or may not turn into forever. 

Or an eternity of suffering. 

Who knows. 

Hopefully not the latter.

In the meantime, the twins are having an uneventful day full of researching, improving their strength/force control, eating, sleeping, y'know all the necessary things a human being does in order to function or survive in general. 

Entertaining their oppa before tucking him in for bed. Weird as that may seem, since he's the older one and should be the one doing it, but his sisters are more mature than him and don't mind babying him. Who is he to deny their sweet caring acts? 

Certainly not him, nor any male who were in his place. Can you blame them though? Every time either of the twins make an appearance in public, they always manage to catch the public's eyes. Whether it's because of their looks, talent, they got it all. 

Everything everyone their age wished to have. But with popularity comes trouble. Trouble both twins would like to avoid. That's right, even someone as troublesome as Chelsea, would like to avoid it. Which is why most of the time, you see them wearing mask, caps, and their usual black tinted sunglasses as wearing a blindfold attracts quite a lot of attention, they know that from experience. 

Anyways, the attention was also the reason why they aimed to finished school early as they don't really have any use from it. They already went to school once, there's no need for them to go a second time. Moreover, they're geniuses. Public school will do them no good. 

All in all, these couple of weeks have been uneventful other than when Eminence finally debut, earning quite the attraction as many organizations either seek them out or forcefully tried to take over Eminence. Latter obviously failed and Eminence just ignored the attention and continued their merely way as they prepare for the future.

That being, recruiting the griffons before trying to fix hydra and phoenix's damaged relationship. Of course, latter seems harder than they thought and will take quite a while. And let's not forget about the dragons and basilisks who are scheming something that could potentially lead to a war to break out between all the clans. 

Well, at least the war will be between the remaining 5 clans as the other 3 are no longer part of the Great Mythical Beast Clans. But you get the point. They have much to prepare for. As to not disappoint their master and all of Eminence.
