Chapter 3: The Heroes and The Encountered

After a big mess that the bandits made in our village, everyone cleaned the villages and put every corpse of a bandit in the incinator.

While my parents were walking around, a group of knights suddenly came into our village, and both of my parents were walking towards them.

"I think both of them didn't control their temper."

The elegant knight said to the other knight.

"Don't make us look like monsters, Arnold."

My father's sarcastic comment to the elegant knight

"Yeah, Arnold, don't give us weird nicknames."

My mother replied too.

Even in their sarcastic comments to each other, it looks like they know each other.

"Hahahaha, my bad, my bad."

"Well, it's true that both of you were monsters in your day, though."

"A great knight who is almost a God Tier and a Mage who can also be considered a God Mage."

Arnold tells us that my mother and father are great people with extraordinary power, and both of them can be considered heroes in this country. What a shocking revelation it is.

"That was an old title, Arnold. We had already quit being heroes and were living as a good married couple. "

My father said, while my mom nodded to him.

"Yeah,yeah, by the way, is this Yuichi?" It's been a year since the news came in the capital that you already have a child. "

Arnold changed the topic and focused on me.

"Yup, it's been five years. Some more years, he can become an adult too, and leave us with his girlfriend and have a family too. " *sniff

"Don't overreact, darling."

Yeah, he's just five years old. He's still growing slowly, so you can have fun with him. "

I nodded at Arnold and Mom, while Mom made Dad calm down a little bit by wiping away his tears.

And after a weird moment, both my parents and Arnold looked serious for a minute.

"So, Arnold I'm sure you're not here just to protect the village. I'm right. "

My father changed the topic, with an intense look at Arnold.

My mother looked at my dad, and she left them while holding me.

"Mom, is dad okay?"

I questioned my mom, while looking worried at her.

My mother's knee was in front of me while patting my head. She explained everything to me in an easy way that a kid could understand.

"Yes, dad is okay. He just needs to talk to Arnold privately; maybe it's an important thing. "

"Were dad and mom awesome? Are you a hero like in the story book you always read to me? "

While looking inspired at Mom, I changed the subject.

"Yeah, yeah, both Daddy and Mommy are awesome people. We can fight a bad guy without getting a sweat."

My mom replied to me while holding my hands and walked back to our home.

-11 years later

There were many events that happened after those 11 years. My parents still look the same, didn't even change, and I'm glad about it.

My father taught me how to use a sword as my self-defense when I was 7 years old. And when I was 8 years old, I found out that if a kid knew how to use magic at an early age, they could be considered a great person in the whole country.

So to avoid trouble, I didn't show my capability that I know how to use magic and how to control it.

My mother taught me some lessons on controlling my mana as a bond for both of us. The great mage rewarded me for teaching my mother how to control mana. I'm so lucky that I was reborn into this family.

On my 10th birthday, my birthday party was a big one where all the villagers celebrated it as a special event in the village. I found many good people, and we had fun while interacting with them.

On my 15th birthday, my parents told me that we were going to live in the capital, so I could attend the biggest school in the capital, the Agartha Magic Academy.

An academy where all kinds of inspiring mages and knights can be enrolled there and special treatment for a noble so a commoner can come in too.

My parents could take advantage and enroll me there without getting an entrance exam, but my parents didn't take that advantage and let me study hard so I could be enrolled there and they put me in a higher section.

And I like that attitude. I study hard and focus on my sword fight with my father. And so is my magic, but I secretly practice my magic so no one will notice.

And after my 16th birthday, I celebrated it in the village as my last birthday there. Many felt emotional and the same with me, but I promised that if I get a family, I'm going to live there too for my peaceful future with my own family.

The next day, after that party, we left the village with a carriage and went to the capital. And after an hour, we are already in the capital, and we go towards a mansion.

And, as I imagine it in both heroes, the mansion is enormous, possibly five times the size of our previous residence.And, as I imagine it in both heroes, the mansion is enormous, possibly five times the size of our previous residence.

"It's been 16 years, the mansion is still the same and a little bit annoying for no reason."

My father comments in our home, and my mother agrees with him.

"This is our new home, Yuichi. Have a look and, if you want, go and explore the capital first.

While speaking with the maid, my mother said that I should look around first.

"I'm going to look around the capital first."

After choosing my mother's suggestion, I rushed towards the exit and started my little journey in the capital.

"He's pretty excited, is he not?,Darling."

"Yeah, he is."

I looked around the capital, and as I expected, it's pretty crowded and you can hear everyone talking to each other.

After half a minute of exploring the capital, I go into the back alley to get some time to breathe. The capital is really exhausting to explore.

While taking a rest, I heard the voices of a group of men. And looking for that sound, I found a group of men and started annoying a girl.

"Hey, miss, want to join us?"

A perverted look at her really has the intention of doing something bad to her.

The girl simply stared at them with piercing eyes, and then a black aura appeared at her back.

"Holy, crap, this one is bad news, guys. Let's go out here. "

The group looked panicked and left the girl.

"What an annoying bunch of pigs, tsk."

Her comment on their actions while looking pissed

After watching them, I started to go back for now, but unfortunately, while walking back I stepped in a can and made some noise.

"Who is there?"

"Show your face, you little eavesdropper."

This is bad. Maybe I should excuse myself.

"Uhmm, hell--,"

After showing myself, a little knife suddenly appeared in my front. I dodged it reflexively, but that was a bait, and she attacked me in the front too.

I dodged the knife and countered her attack, but before I held her shoulder, she used a wind barrier and countered my countered attack.

"Wait, wait, let's talk about this."

I begged her desperately to stop the fight. And she stopped attacking me, and she was willing to hear my side.

"My bad. After seeing your aura, my self-defense suddenly reacted, and I forgot to calm myself. "

She apologized to me while bowing her head to me.

"No, no. It's my bad for eavesdropping on you. "

I apologized too and bowed my head, so we can be even.

"Uhmm, please don't tell everyone that I can use magic."

Her sincere request for me

"No, that's okay, I'm not that kind of person."

I replied.

"By the way, are you still a student?"

My perplexing question to herMy perplexing question to her

"Yup, I'm still enrolling in the academy."

Her reply to my question.

"Eh?" With that skill, I thought you must be a young knight, or even an adventurer."

I'm a little bit shocked, but there's something about her.

"Can I question you one more time?"

"Uhm, sure, no problem."

"How can you see my aura? I thought I hid my aura in my full power. "

"I can see everyone's aura, even with God tier blocked. It's a gift from God to me. It's more like God's eye from others' perspective. "

"Woah, that's cool!"

She answered me without hesitating. What a brave woman.

-Clang!!

The bell of the capital started to clang, and it means it's already 5 in the afternoon. Maybe I should leave now.

"Oh my, it's already late."

"May I leave first, uhm..can I ask your name?"

"I'm Natasha Takahashi."

Her response.

"Then I'm Yuichi Nobunaga."

"Nice to meet you, Takahashi."

I replied to her and left her first.

After walking back home, I realized that there are many amazing people in this world. I'm going to do my best in the entrance exam tomorrow.

"Updating the system."

"Huh, what was that?"

For some reason, I collapsed and felt empty for some reason after hearing that mysterious voice in my mind, and a mysterious light suddenly appeared in front of me and then.
