15 Back to Border Town

While Roland was demonstrating the power and beauty of his new technology, the steam engine, to the Chief Knight Carter Lannis and Anna in his back garden, a guard suddenly entered saying, "Your Highness, there is a two women wanting a meeting with you."

"... What are they like?" Roland asked while interrupting the demonstration.

"One of them is blonde and the other have black hair." the guard said respectfully.

"Make them go to my office so i can talk to them." Roland said to the guard.

'The blonde is probably the witch that can teleport but the other one... i don't know.' Roland thought while walking towards his office.

'The only witch with black hair that i know is that kid... but the guard said 'women' so it's unlikely her... isn't today that she wanted to show me proofs too?' Roland thought while sitting in his chair.

After some time, Nightingale and Calista entered the office.

Seeing the face of Calista in an adult body surprised Roland to the core.

"A-Ahem... so you are here to show the proofs of what you said that night, right? but what is she doing with you?" Roland said to Calista while seeing Nightingale together with her.

"Indeed, i'm here to make you believe about the near war and about her... I just convinced the Association to migrate here, she is our ally and friend now." Calista explained to Roland with a smile.

"What!?" Roland said surprised while standing up.

"H-How many will be coming...?" Roland asked with a trembling voice.

"More or less... forty?" Calista said with a smirk.

Roland sighed and looked outside the window, thinking to himself, 'Today will be a long day...'

"So, where is the proof?" Roland asked to Calista with curiosity, trying to escape from reality.

"Let's go to another place, this place is very small." Calista said while leaving the room with Nightingale towards the back garden.

'Too small? So the proof is too big?' Roland thought while leaving with the duo.

Seeing the steam engine in the back garden, Calista thought, 'Looks like the plot didn't change much... some things will happen anyway even with me here huh...'.

"Hello, are you Calista Mother?" Anna said to Calista calmly.

'... Oh right, my body is 20 years old now, so it's natural that she is thinking that i'm my mother.' Calista thought while looking at Anna.

"... Anna, i'm Calista, the only one Calista. We will talk after i finish with Roland." Calista said to Anna while going a bit far way from the steam engine.

"Wh-... Fine, but i will stay to listen." Anna said while following Calista and Roland.

"..." ( Carter )

'Whatever, i will follow them too.' Carter thought while following them.

Seeing Calista stop and turning around, Roland said while looking around, "Where is the proof? I don't see it anywhere?"

"I needed to hid it since it's quite grotesque." Calista said while vanishing but returning after half a second with a frozen monster with hundreds of eyeballs on one hand and a young woman with long blue hair in the other hand.

'What on earth is this monster!?' Everyone thought at the same time.

"This is a Eye Demon, they have hundreds of eyeballs but they don't need to 'see' people, because they could sense and locate their enemies upon being noticed. Nobody could possibly escape their ability, neither the invisible nor the ones descending from the sky unless blindfolded. i captured it while destroying a nearby camp of the demons.

And this young woman here is a survivor from the previous Battle of Divine Will, Agatha from Taquila." Calista explained to Roland and everyone present.

"... Battle of Divine Will?" Anna asked slightly frowning since she wasn't present the night Calista explained.

"... Let Roland explain it to you later, Anna." Calista said winking to Anna.

"Anyway, this is the proof that Demons exist and that the Battle of Divine Will will happen." Calista said to Roland while tapping the frozen monster.

"... *Sigh* but you didn't explain why you are so different from every witch known." Roland said distressed.

"Let me explain then, there is a category of witch, the 'Extraordinary' type, they can sense the form and flow of nearby magic power and their ability is not affected by God's Stone of Retaliation. Their magic can vary from person to person but it's all about physical enhancement. But what is important about them is that they can transcend, creating a totally new type of magic. While i'm a Transcendent Extraordinary witch, i'm a very 'special' one, since my magic enhanced all my body, not a single aspect of it and when i turned into a Transcendent, i could copy others source powers from near sources, like other witches, demons and even magic stones making possible to use abilities that are not mine. Like this Eye Demon, it has the ability of knowing where the enemy is, doesn't matter the distance, invisible or not. I copied his ability so now i can sense everything watching me. Cool right?" Calista said with a smile.

'... Let's pray that i don't provoke her in the future.' Everyone thought at the same time.

'Her magic form... don't have any form or color... it looks like a black hole...' Nightingale thought looking at Calista inside the Planeswalking.

Seeing Calista wink to her, like she knew she was there made Nightingale slightly frown.

'Such a powerful witch... let's pray she doesn't turn into an enemy in the future.' Nightingale thought while going away.

...

"Barov, can you tell Karl to come here, we need some big houses done urgently." Roland said to Barov while sitting in his office.

'I have 5 years to make this town flourish and a modern army.' Roland thought while watching the town through the window.
