TBATE Back to save you

Chapter 20: Life in Elenoir 2

Aya Grephin POV

I just left the Royal castle to finish the special mission given to me, a Lance, the strongest mage in the country, and one of the strongest in the continent

Is it to kill a powerful SS-ranked beast? To assassinate some enemy noble or high-ranked person? Kill another Lance? Nope, it's...

To find an eleven-year-old human boy with wheat hair and golden eyes in capital

" haaah... No one told me I would be getting missions like this one..." I mumbled silently

The boy is apparently a student of Elder Virion and a childhood friend of Princess Tessia

There is no one in the entire kingdom who didn't hear about that boy at least once

Our former King, Elder Virion Eralith, a man who never took in any disciples, one day announced that he took one in and that no one is to even look at him in a wrong way

That boy was only four years old, a human, Arthur Leywin

People couldn't believe it, their former king whose wife died because of humans took one in as a disciple even though he rejected many talented elven noble children

But what I couldn't believe is what many people overlooked, he was just four and a human at that, but he was already a mage at the dark red stage

Even Princess Tessia who is considered the biggest prodigy in elven history, who are known to awake way earlier than humans, awoke only at eight years old

' That kid will become a true monster one day ' that's what I thought back when I first heard of it

That was a time when I was preparing to become a Lance so I couldn't see the boy for myself for years, but then one day when I was coming back from reporting my mission to the king and queen... I saw him

An eight years old human who is already a beast tamer, the pressure I felt from him was something else... But the most surprising thing was...

He is a quadra elemental with two deviants

' I take it back, he won't become a monster, he already is one' my mind changed so easily that day that I couldn't believe it

My talent suddenly felt pathetic compared to his

-----

I was still walking around the down, but the boy was nowhere to be seen. I don't even know how long have I been walking around the capital of Zestier. Hours? Maybe like, five hours? But I still can't find even a single clue about his whereabouts

' Gaah, this is driving me nuts!'

' How is it possible that no one even notices a kid with wheat hair and golden eyes? Is it even possible?!'

I complained silently on the inside while still diligently looking for that brat

I spent two more hours looking for that brat and guess what? HE IS STILL NOWHERE TO BE SEEN

' Goddamnit brat! Where the fu... Oh, that guy is hot... I mean, where the fuck are you, you stupid brat!'

----

It's been another hour and now I am in the Royal palace, reporting my failure to the rulers of this nation

" So Aya, you couldn't find that brat?" Elder Virion asked teasingly

" Y-yes" I said with my face slightly red from embarrassment

* giggle* I heard queen Merial giggle lightly from her seat
