Chapter 1148: Ch 1148: Hero’s Journey Begins
Eight years had passed since Elena had started to live in this village and in those eight years, a lot of things had changed.
Currently, the small village from before was no more. Instead, it had turned into a small town of some sort. And the main reason behind this great change was none other than Elena herself.
In the last 5 years or so, suddenly the rate of monster attacking villages and settlements had suddenly increased by a huge margin. So, in this kind of situation, all the humanoid races desired for a strong savior who would be able to protect them from this threat.
Magi were an excellent option to become a protector but most magi either lived in large cities or were under some magi institutions or organizations.
So they were not able to protect remote or small villages. And even if the villagers of the dangerous villages wanted to move to somewhere else, with how poor they were, living in a city was not possible for them.
And that was the exact moment when the village where Elena lived came to everyone’s view. With someone as strong as Elena there, no monster had ever managed to harm this place. This prospect was something that attracted all the people from other places.
Just like that, the population of the village keep going up and up without any stop. Elena did not mind it at all as the growth of the village was a good thing for Shin. So just like that, after five years, the small village was gone and a small town had appeared in its place.
In the centre of the town, the largest building of this town was location. Just looking at the building, it was clear that the villagers had done their best making it.
In one room of this building, a gorgeous lady was sleeping. She definitely looked like a Goddess who was taking a little rest in the mortal world.
As the rays of the sun reached her, she wake up from her sleep and left the room. Immediately after that, she was greeted by the maids who were working hard from the very start of the morning.
This beautiful lady was obviously none other than Elena. Currently she had went from being just a simple villager to becoming the guardian of the town. Her position in the town was the highest. Even the chief and the elders would have of listen to her orders.
Elena had gained this position after the trust of the villagers had reaches sky high. After Elena had saved them so many times, they literally worshipped her as the all powerful Goddess.
And this was true not just for the old villagers. Even the new ones had fallen in line and had started to show respect and devotion to Elena.
One might find this situation to be stressful but that was definitely not true for Elena. She was very used to being worshipped so she did not mind the current situation at all.
...
After eating her breakfast, Elena came to a newly made building which was the new school for the young boys and girls. And Elena was still their teacher.
As teacher Elena entered the school, she was immediately greeted good morning by everyone. All the children looked happy and healthy.
Among them, the person with most enthusiasm was none other than Shin. He had a big smile on his face and he was brimming with energy. And why would he not be ?
Just one day ago, he had managed to awaken his last talent. And one day before that, he had even defeated a powerful looking bull monster all on his own. Shin was extremely proud of this achievement of his.
By the enthusiastic Shin’s side, a beautiful and calm young lady was standing. She did not attract too much attention but her calm atmosphere and gentle smile was very reassuring.
She was none other than Tatsumi who was currently dating Shin. She was one of the most grown up person among the young generation of this village and she had also became incredibly strong in order to support Shin in any way she could.
Tatsumi was a practitioner of the Magus system and she was extremely talented. She also had two talents and with their help, she had managed to keep up with Shin so far.
Currently Shin was a rank 2 Celestial Master and Tatsumi was a rank 2 magi. For her age, this was something legendary.
Obviously Elena had helped her out quite a bit and Shin’s own destiny of a hero was also supporting her. So it made sense why Tatsumi was able to keep up.
But now, they would have a hard time growing up if they stayed in the village any longer. So after turning 15, both of them were planning to leave with their other friends. And obviously as their guardian, Elena was coming with them.
But the villagers were actually not worried about this situation, which was very abnormal. The town guardian leaving should be a very terrible thing but none of the people looked worried at all.
And there was a good reason behind this. And the reason was the fact that Elena was actually not leaving. She was only sending a clone with Shin and the other children to be a guide for them.
Actually this was not true. Elena was leaving a clone behind to take care of the village while her main body was going with Shin and his group. But obviously there was no way or need for the villagers to know this.
...
Very soon, the day of departure came and the villagers happily showed all the boys and girls off. Normally in a situation like this, the villagers and especially the parents should be worried, but that was definitely not the case here. Instead all the parents were just looking proud.
And the reason for this was also Elena. As long as she was with them, even if it was just a clone, everything would be fine. All the villagers firmly believed it.
So just like that, after a very joyful departure, the young boys and girls started a new Chapter in their life.
And their next destination was going to be the city of Asfalla, which had a powerful magi organization. There, Tatsumi was going to register as an official magi.
Other than that, Shin and Tatsumi were also going to become adventurers there and three of their childhood friends were also going to do the same. As for Elena herself, she had allready registered with the adventurer guild and was an A rank adventurer already.
So this party of six under the guidance of Elena and the lead of Shin would be the world famous Hero Party. And this was their humble beginning.
