The two red eyes blink their eyes rapidly for a full minute before realizing that they are watching a 14-year-old cry his eyeballs out in front of a full crowd of other his age and older with no shame. Rather than disgust, there's a bit of pity in everyone's eyes and some hostile glances at the twins.
The silver-haired twins find themselves in a pickle as they don't know whether to apologize or comfort the teen. They panic and look at each other seeking advice with no outcome.
Suddenly they hear him take a deep breath as tears remain on his eye ducts and he grabs both of their hands with a melancholic smile and says,
"I'm sorry seniors I didn't mean to make you both get into an argument it's all my fault all I can do now is ask for someone else's help *sniff! sniff!*"
"No, wait!" Mercy is the first one to respond and says,
"No, it's our fault... junior? you misunderstand it's just how we siblings bond right Percy?" she diverts attention to Percy vehemently asking him to agree,
"Ye, yeah that's exactly it haha, haha hahahahaha!" They hug each other around the shoulder and smile awkwardly, which Connor can only see as a mask their eyes vibrate in panic bewilderment behind it.
Connor smiles and rubs his eyes as a bright childish smile appears but that's not what the twins feel when they look into his mischievous green eyes that look like they're singing, "you fell into my traaap~"
"Sadly I cannot be called your junior YET, as I've yet to even take the theoretical exam. But since you both seem so sweet would you both like to spare me your time to tell me what something that can help~"
"You're going to be a scary junior aren't you? haha..." Percy says
"Scary? What do you mean?" He asks with a genuine look in his eyes while tilting his head.
The duo stared at him with a look of fear and astonishment and shake their heads at the same time but smile, "Sure... just let us talk elsewhere we can feel bald spots burning into the back of our heads."
The two get up and lead Connor but not before informing their professor who Connor couldn't see behind the crowd of students.
"Come on!"
Together they reach one of the swimming pools and Connor looks at his relatively normal phone, you know... the type which opens through mana signature and eye recognition when you look at your palm, pretty cheap if you were to ask this author.
But enough getting sidetracked dipping their feet in the cold water of the extra-large pool they start the discussion.
"So what do you want to ask us?"
"Mmm well, there's nothing I really want to ask. Just give me your thoughts about my observation."
So proceeding to describe the scene he saw half an hour after the first batch of examinees went in, and so the twins nod once they finish thinking they nod towards each other.
"So this must be why the professor said that, well okay then we have something we can tell you..." Mercy states
For a full minute after saying that Connor waits but they don't say anything so he gets a bit frustrated and says,
"So what is it you can say?"
The duo have been looking at each other as if they're supposed to be reading each other thoughts and so Percy sighs then finally open his mouth,
"The professor said that only two people would be allowed to exit the main hall, those two if they can convince or trick someone to do so may receive some about this theoretical exam."
"Ok? So have I convinced you enough to receive an oh so gracious hint?"
"Well yes, the hint is... its hypnotism anything beyond that is not possible is not sorry, also you didn't convince us you tricked us." They both massage their foreheads in thought.
Percy then remembers something and smirks, "Also this isn't a hint just some friendly advice I'd go back in right now if I were you, you might be late~"
"Oh yeah~ you might~" She smirks in turn.
"What do you mean I might be late? My exam shouldn't be another 5 or so hours I've only been here for half an hour."
""Sorry~ There's nothing more we can say but seriously go now.""
Connor realizes the seriousness in their eyes and swears as he rushes back to the door as quickly as he can while the twins wave goodbye.
The door slams open at full speed and in front of it is the little girl from when everyone arrived and she just smiles at him and points to the main hall.
She smirks and also waves her hands and sees more than half the area is now empty. Sohan is now awake and Faye waves her hand telling him to sit down.
"What happened? Where is everyone?"
Faye replies, "Well it's been around 4 hours since you left the 5th batch is currently inside this is the last 100."
"What how could so much time pass I was only out there for half an hour."
"Sorry can't tell~ Quite a few of us grown-ups are being paid a hefty sum to those who figured that part out. So what about you?"
"Tch, what do you mean what about me?"
"Did you find anything useful?"
"..." He looks around and sighs, "kinda ish~"
"Well good job finding anything that walking hedonistic skeleton sure knows how to play their little games. Well, it's not all bad when you see a bunch of kids and young adults being tense like this haha!"
"Tch, whatever..."
Connor looks at Sohan and grins since he hasn't talked with him since the teleportation port's awkward display, so he walks over and whispers in his ear
"Hey Sohan~ I learned something about the test, I could share the info for a price."
Sohan looks at Connor his green eyes reflected in his own gold one's and displays interest but hearing the last part makes him rub his nose bridge before sighing and asking,
"Okay... for how much?"
