After walking through the meadow for a bit, they caught sight of a village not too far away.
Seeing the surrounding area was all fields, it seemed that they were all farming to provide for themselves.
Was it surprising?
It was interesting to know that there was enough fertile land to farm here.
And the buildings were clean. There was an old temple ahead so he thought everything would be the same.
âYou recreated the essence of a small village and cast the restoration magic on the whole town.â
âYou can know despite just touching the 9th class?â
When Jin asked with a surprised face, Jamie explained.
âEven if I wasnât a 9th class magician, anyone can roughly feel it, especially if they are strong enough.â
It is rare for a magician to be able to perform such restoration magic on a village. To make a village that would otherwise have been rotten and torn to look new with buildings.
He remembered what Beryl said five years back when he wanted to go back there.
-There is a 9th class magician in Frontier.
Beryl said it wasnât human. Maybe an elf.
Among them, there was a probability of a high elf being there.
Someone strong enough to cast restoration magic on the whole town. He thought he had to meet this person just like Isis.
âIt was done by an elf magician called Nell-Sharan.â
Jin just confirmed it.
âElf? Not a high elf?â
âHuhu. Normally we think of her as a high elf, but she is an elf. A lively young elf who is only one hundred and thirty years old.â
It was said that the average lifespan of a normal elf was 500 years.
If she was 130 years old, then she just entered her youth. And she was able to use this magic?
She could be considered a great talent.
âBut she is geeky. So she is quite different from ordinary elves.â
âI see.â
Jamie looked around. There werenât many people here. It wasnât a huge village so there were bound to be less people.
The strange thing was that everyone was of different races.
It was natural that this village was made of different races, but since his reincarnation, he had been living in the human world, so this scenery of so many races was something new.
Various races including humans lived in harmony.
âIt is amazing to see so many races live together.â
âUsually everyone says that. I was shocked the first time too. Especially since Ryo doesnât have different kinds of races so the moment I saw it, it felt like I was hit in the head with a hammer. Long ears, hair on the body like animals, and tail too. To be honest, getting used to it is hard.â
âI guess it must be shocking for you.â
In fact, so many races were hardly seen. Right now, the world was a place where humans didnât interact with the other races. Most people living in the nations in the central parts of the continent only encountered them in books.
However, there were so many other races rather than just humans here. Even when a stranger came, they didnât really care.
Considering that most races were hostile to humans, it was strange how harmonious the Frontier was.
âNow I seem to know a little bit about Isis.â
It felt like he had a glimpse of the freedom that Frontier lived by.
âHm. I can come only till here.â
And then Jin stopped walking. It was strange that he stopped despite not going to Isis, but Jamie nodded.
âPlease rest.â
âLetâs meet later.â
Jin turned to another road and disappeared and Jamie who watched him looked ahead. Not far from there was a man standing with his back against a building.
He was looking at Jamie with his arms crossed. A familiar face.
Seeing that, Jamie raised his hand.
âIt has been a while, Sir Onyx.â
Beryl smiled.
âIt has been a while, Jamie.â
Jamie and Beryl walked the path and talked about various things which happened in 5 years.
âThe last time I heard, they said you were near the border, so when did you come?â
âYour news is late. I stayed there until last year and came back this year. I had personal work to do.â
âRelated to Isis?â
âI wonât deny it.â
Beryl smiled and Jamie too.
âBut⦠you have seriously grown too much.â
Beryl was shocked at Jamie who was only slightly smaller than him now.
âWhen I was thirteen I didnât grow this much.â
âIt seems like Weltonâs blood is strong. My parents were shocked at how fast I grew.â
âEven so, how can one grow this fast?â
âWell, the world is too vast even for someone like you to have seen everything.â
âWellâ¦â
It was strange to keep denying when Jamie was right in front of him and the conversation ended there.
After a walk without words, Beryl said,
âYou have gotten stronger.â
âSir Onyx too.â
âHuhu, at the time you were little, but in no time you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me.â
After just 5 years, he managed to catch up.
Beryl thought that he had made great progress, but after seeing the genius in front of him, he felt like laughing.
If it had been anyone else they would have felt jealous of this, but Beryl hardly felt it.
Rather, he seemed happy. He tried to think about why, but it felt natural.
Because he is Searsâ son.
âYou have grown up well.â
âThank you.â
âYou donât need to be thankful to me. Give that to your parents.â
âHaha. I know. But can I ask you something?â
âWhat is it?â
âAre Behemoth and Venna doing good?â
He was more curious about Venna.
Behemoth was someone he was keeping in touch with but he is a brainless one. Jamie didnât care how he was doing since he got letters.
But he had no news from Venna ever since their separation. He knew she wasnât here.
She left for the place of Valkyries, so she has to stay there.
But even then, he thought some news must have made their way here.
âCome to think of it, I heard they met in Saint-Dermain. Did you say the child, Venna, was you subordinate?â
âYes.â
âKukuku. Kid, you have a subordinate older than you. Look at this cheeky one.â
âSo. Do you know anything about Venna?â
âI havenât met this child, Venna, but I did hear her name a lot of times.
âHow is she doing?â
âHmmâ¦â
Beryl seemed to think and then smiled playfully. This man was always with a serious expression but now his smile looked weird.
As Jamie frowned, Beryl said,
âWhat? You arenât open to people having new expressions?â
âPlease say it.â
âI think you will meet soon.â
âUh?â
âI can only tell you this much.â
âSir Onyx?â
Jamie titled his head at how Beryl was avoiding answering his question, he had the urge to ask him again but he stopped as they arrived in front of a large building.
âWe are here.â
âThisâ¦â
A really huge building. It seemed like a thousand people could stay there.
All the buildings in Avalon were of good size, and each place was enough for one household to live comfortably. However, this place stood out clearly among the others.
And there were no people around. On the way, he saw a lot of different races and it felt like they were walking away for a reason.
Beryl said,
âEveryone is gathered.â
âGathered?â
âWe have known it since you stepped into Abraxas. Everyone was waiting.â
âDetection magic huh.â
âIt is essential. We never know when an enemy will come here.â
Jamie wanted to know who would enter a place where even monsters had a hard time and attack them, but if the opponent werenât humans then it was a different story.
Beryl led him and Jamie followed. After passing a short hallway, a large venue appeared.
As seen from outside, it could hold more than a thousand people.
But Jamie didnât look around.
A huge and diverse energy was pouring out at him. Jamie opened his eyes and looked at the people who were trying to pressure him.
The central table.
A total of ten people were seated around a huge round table. All of them were looking at Jamie and most were of different races.
But the fact that they were of different races didnât matter. Importantly, most of them wereâ¦
âMaster class!â
All but three of those who sat around the table were in the Master class. And among them were familiar faces.
He smiled and waved his hand and Jamie realized that they were the key members of Frontier.
Beryl left him and went down to sit on the empty seat on the table.
It was the time when Jamie was enduring the crushing pressure as much as possibleâ¦
âWow. Just like Iâve been told, this kid is no small deal.â
A woman with a sweet voice.
He moved his gaze to the woman who had azure hair at the very end of the table. A beautiful woman with a slender body and round jewels the same color as her hair nailed to her forehead.
Jamie knew it.
Isis looked at Jamie and greeted.
âWelcome Jamie Welton. We are Frontier.â
â *
âTo do thisâ¦â
âIt has been 5 years since we met, of course we have to.â
âAnnoying.â
A small cow-like being took a deep breath on the hand of the girl holding it.
No.
A woman who was beautiful enough to walk away from the term girl spoke with a smile.
âWill Master be surprised to see us?â
âThat human wonât be too surprised.â
âBehe. This is the problem with you. Why have you turned pessimistic in 5 years?â
âWhy are you so positive in fiveâ¦â
âLetâs see.â
The woman clasped her pink hair which was split in two and pulled tight.
She shouted,
âBecause I have grown a lot in the last 5 years!â
â⦠it is meaningless in front of him.â
âSo you wonât help?â
âHa. What do you want to do?â
âNothing difficult.â
The little cow called Behe didnât know how to react.
Was the brain reset in just the last 5 years? Even if the journey with the woman wasnât long, he knew what kind of personality she had.
But now it didnât seem to be going well, it felt like she would pout if he said noâ¦
âI donât like thisâ¦â
Behe just sighed. And the woman spoke in a joyful voice,
âJust attack with all our might.â
â⦠seriously.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI havenât been playing around for 5 years. Master needs to know that I have grown up.â
âOr lord will never see you?â
âIt is fine. Donât worry, Behe.â
The pink haired woman, Venna, smiled and Behemoth sighed looking at her. It wasnât just her appearance which had changed and he thought it was fortunate.
âI think lord will get a strange feeling in many ways after seeing you.â
âWhat does that mean?â
âYou will see it.â
âTell me what you mean, Behe!â
âCall me Behemoth!â
