16 New Witches

After leaving the back garden, Calista and Nightingale leaved Border Town and returned to the temporary base of Witch Cooperation Association, in the perfect distance so that the guards couldn't see it and easily accessible.

Entering the base, Calista started to see many faces; there none of joy, there were only confusion and tiredness in their face.

'Looks like they are not optimistic about Roland and Border Town... let's leave it to time for they decide.' Calista thought while following Nightingale to the meeting room.

Entering the room, Calista saw Cara and Wendy having a chat while Scroll was writing something near them.

"Hey there." Calista said to the trio.

"Hey, what was the decision of the Lord?" Wendy asked seriously while ending her chat with Cara.

Everyone turned quiet and turned to Calista waiting for her to say what happened.

"it's ok, he accepted all of you." Calista said with a smile to everyone and thinking, 'It's not like i gave him a choice anyway...'

"He is probably making houses while we are speaking." Calista continued.

"Tch... i will see with my own eyes if he is worth the trouble." Cara said with a small frown.

"... Did you said something?" Calista said smirking.

"N-Nothing..." Cara responded averting her eyes.

"Anyway, let's move, the sooner we arrive there the better." Calista said to everyone while leaving the room.

Seeing a stage on the base, Calista thought 'Looks like Cara wants to make a speech before leaving...'.

"Sisters! I'm here to announce that the Lord of the town near here will let us stay there how much we want as long as we help the city development, let's go!" Cara said on the stage to every witch in the base.

"What if it's a trap!?" A witch kid yelled to Cara.

'If i remember correctly, she is Lily, the witch with the Microorganisms Commanding ability.' Calista thought with a smile while watching the kid.

"If it's a trap, i will kill him myself!" Cara said to Lily.

"Let's go!" Cara said the last time while leaving the stage.

...

"Barov, there will be around forty people that will migrate here so inform the guards on the wall facing the forest to let them enter." Roland said to Barov while sitting on his office.

"... Are you sure? After all, the food that we currently have is very limited." Barov said to Roland distressed.

"I'm sure, and let them live on the castle while the houses are being built." Roland said to Barov seeing him leave.

'Let's hope that they are amicable...' Roland thought while watching the wall from the window.

...

Seeing the wall of Border Town, Cara thought, 'This wall wasn't here when we passed through one week ago, so how on earth...'.

"Are you sure that they will let us enter the city?" Wendy asked Calista while they were walking.

"Of course." Calista responded to Wendy.

Seeing no resistance on the entrance, everyone sighed in relief.

"Hello, His Highness said to everyone here go to the back garden of the castle, so he can make some tests." Carter said to Calista and Nightingale while leading the way towards the back garden.

Arriving there, everyone saw a young man with light gray hair and eyes sitting in a chair with two girls behind him.

"Hello, i'm Roland Wimbledon, the Lord of Border Town while those two are my friends and... they are witches too." Roland said to everyone while pointing to himself.

"My friend here is Anna and the another one is Nana." Roland continued while pointing to Anna and Nana.

"We are here so we can understand each other better, making everything clear is a fundamental point in mutual trust after all." Roland said.

"We aren't going to test your abilities to know if some ability is useless or not, we are here so i can help you all while helping the town at the same time, alright?" Roland said smiling.

"Are you really not going to test the ability for the usefulness?" a young woman said timidly.

'Isn't she Mystery Moon? She really doesn't know her ability usefulness...' Calista thought bitterly smiling while thinking about the near future.

"There is no useless ability in the world." Roland responded seriously.

"Alright, let's start the tests, if you have questions, only ask." Roland said to everyone.

...

"Hmph... My name is Cara, i can create snakes from magic with multiple abilities." Cara said while frowning.

"My name is Wendy, i can create and control the wind." Wendy said smiling.

"My name is Scroll, i have extraordinary memory and can recreate books with the knowledge i know." Scroll said seriously.

"... My name is Nightingale and i have different abilities, from Planeswalking to Lie detection." Nightingale said calmly.

"My name is Lightning! and i can fly!" Lightning said full of energy.

"My name is Leaf and i can manipulate plants, making them grow fast and strongly." Leaf said calmly.

"My name is Hummingbird... i can manipulate the weight of what i touch, but i can't do it with living beings." Hummingbird said calmly.

"My name is Soraya Zoen, i can paint everything i saw or imagined perfectly and they are very durable and won't get destroyed with normal means..." Soraya said elegantly.

"My name is Echo and i can imitate the call of any animal." Echo said elegantly.

"Tch... My name is Lily... i can use my ability to prevent the spoiling and rotting of food." Lily said with a frown.

"Hmm... My name is Mystery Moon... and... i can make two things attract each other..." Mystery Moon said timidly.

...

"My name is Eva... i can understand every language." Eva said indifferently.

"My name is Cecily and i can clone myself! but they are weaker then me..." Cecily said smiling.

"My name is Lyra and i can read all your pervert memories!... i'm joking, i can read memories but it needs your consent to read it." Lyra said with a 'Muhahahaha' in the middle but it turned into a small frown in the end.

"My name is Mila... and i can put together two things together like they were born like that." Mila said seriously.

"My name is Linda... and i can breath in the water with those." Linda said letting gills appear on her neck.

"... My name is Flores... and i can multiply seeds." Flores said timidly.

...

Looking at the document in front of him, full of names and abilities, Roland started to smile excited for the future.

While Roland was smiling like a idiot, Calista was thinking something else, 'Eva's ability of understand languages... can it understand everything she thinks is 'Language'? Like Body language or Nature's language...?'

Feeling something inside her change, Calista thought with a smile, 'Looks like even me can evolve my copied abilities... The future is bright...'
