He immediately added the skill to his skill lists. Meanwhile, it was morning, he planned his next actions.
Lumiel knew the past heroes and they were his friends. Now that he regressed, he knew where to find them. He will not pass the opportunity to meet them again.
In the streets Of Almaria's capital, there blossomed the businesses of the people. Whether selling goods like flowers, weapons, foods, armors, accessories, clothes, and, formal wears. They were happy to sell with passion, striving for getting income for their families. Rain was enjoying his holiday vacation and was walking beside the stalls to shop for his new training shoes. He was choosing brand new shoes, his current one was worn out due to his training. He jolted as he heard a female vendor of fruits that shouted, "Thief!".
The old man stumbled and the fruits were thrown to the floor.
"Catch him!" She shouted angrily and they grabbed the man.
The female vendor grabbed his hands and wanted to slap him but Rain stopped her.
"I will pay for him, he is my grandpa!" Lumiel lied to cover up for the old man.
"You better feed him or we will beat him up if he steals again!" The woman shouted at Lumiel.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry, It will not happen again," Lumiel said sorry to everyone and paid one silver. Giving fruits to the old man.
"I'm sorry to cause you trouble but can the old man know your name?" asked the old man.
"I'm Lumiel Cryhearth," he said cheerfully.
Lumiel walked with him and the old man expressed his gratitude to him unceasingly. In return, the old man offered his knowledge in ancient arts as well as his guidance, he has to pay for food though for the cost of every learning.
"Well isn't it great! To be thought of by an Almarian War survivor and a grandmaster like me. You will be far stronger than your current status!" He said to him while caressing his beard.
Lumiel laughed and said, "You're joking right? You're a War survivor? Like how old are you now?"
The old man laughed at his initial reaction.
"A hundred and fifty, I forgot and I lost count but I know it's not lower than that."
"Wow really? How did you survive?" Lumiel asked.
"Well, it's the secret of Holy Magic but it is not an information young ones like you can have easily because it's ancient magic that has been forgotten for a long time. By the way, let's meet with my old team in the vacant lot near the junkyard.
"Can you imagine the old ones who are war veterans who became a beggar asking for food to just eat? We're old and we have no one to go to. If we ask for help we are driven away because no one knows who we are! Like they're gonna help an old man who is on death's bed, the one they don't know," he said helplessly.
"It's okay Sir, I'm gonna help you in any way I can!" Lumiel said vigorously.
"Hohoho! It looks like this old man will happily receive your help!" he said while stroking his mane.
"No problem!" Lumiel replied.
They walked to the dark alleys and walked past the broken walls, there in the walls was an opening covered with a cloth.
The old man opened it like a curtain wherein inside, there were ten old aged persons happily sitting in the campfire.
"I'm here guys! Let's have a feast!" The old man said to his teammates.
"Hohoho! Well Frank's here!" said the other person with tattered clothes.
"So guys this is the boy who saved me recently. He is Lumiel Cryhearth," Frank said to them.
After he said his name, everyone clapped their hands and said, "Congrats boy! We owe you our meal thus let's have a cheer for Lumiel!" said the wrinkled man.
"For Lumiel!" Shouted the other one.
"Cheers!" All shouted in unison while Frank held a banana and the others were fruits they held. They gave a toast to Lumiel who was holding a mango.
"Hahahahaha!" Lumiel blurted out laughing for he never experienced something so hilarious like this before in his life.
"We know now your name! Well, it's our turn to introduce ourselves!" Frank said as they all looked at each other's faces seemingly hiding something.
"Well, we have no choice since we owe him! I'm Frank Williams, and I'm Snap, I'm Baggus, Saber here, call me Splinter, Branmoor, I'm Maldor, Deathbane, Arthras, and Mistiban, call me Shinpatsu senpai!"
As Rain heard it while they were introducing one by one, his body trembled. And after they finished, he indeed confirmed it. He found the heroes. They talked and after a while, the sun was about to set.
"Hey am I dreaming?" Lumiel asked.
"You're not!" said with a familiar voice.
"I didn't imagine that you're the Heroes our kingdom has!" Said Lumiel to them.
"Heroes? We are revered as heroes now?" Frank questioned him.
"Um yes, but it would be unwise if you shout that you're the heroes or the guards will accuse you of being a fake and they will catch you, they will accuse you of being a crazy old beggar," Lumiel explained to them.
"Yeah, we tried it but we were imprisoned instead, so we switched to begging for food. We just recently arrived at the capital but it changed so much and the past Director of Hunter's association who knows us has already perished," said Frank.
"Well, that complicates things. I'm sorry to hear it Sir Frank but I will surely help you. I know a friend who can help. It was our friend who owns our current headquarters, but we haven't seen it yet so wait here for tomorrow and I will notify you." He suggested it to Sir Frank.
"Hahaha! Maybe you need to know [Teleport] first! So that you will be here instantly!" Baggus said to Lumiel.
"Wow really! How do I do it?" He asked excitedly.
"First I'm gonna teach you the basics," Baggus said to him. Baggus and Lumiel discussed spatial magic and Lumiel successfully made a teleportation rune. He was learning at an extremely fast rate that it shocked everyone.
"Now go home and don't forget to teleport here with your friends," Baggus said while he said goodbye to Lumiel. Lumiel hurriedly went home and he arrived at night.
"Where have you been Lumiel? Did you enjoy it so much that you forget the time?" his mother asked.
"Mom it's..." Lumiel whispered all that happened.
"Oh! So you met the heroes?" said his mother.
"Well I believe you son but I don't know if the heroes still exist because it's been a hundred years now. But I want to meet them sooner If they're real. Now son let's eat, for now, your father is currently at work and he is assigned to training the recruits. Your father is busy and can't come home this weekend," said his mother.
"It's okay mom! I am still enjoying it now even without him. I have friends!" he said to her.
Isabella patted his head and said, "My son is a good boy now let's eat".
Lumiel changed his clothes and ate dinner with his mother. He made a teleportation rune outside their house and tried to teleport to Frank's hideout, appearing to their faces.
"Oh, so you're successful in making runes now! You're a fast learner!" Baggus was surprised.
"My mom wants to meet you guys, is it okay to disturb you for a minute?" requested Rain.
"Of course! Let's teleport mates and greet the mother of our savior," said Frank to the heroes.
They teleported to Lumiel's house and they met his mother Isabella.
"Hello come into our house! Let's talk inside," she said courteously.
They came inside and Frank introduced himself as well as his companions.
"I'm Frank Williams and this is Snap, Baggus, Saber, he is Splinter, Branmoor, Maldor, Deathbane, Arthras, Mistiban, and Shinpatsu. If you noticed something, maybe it's just a coincidence," said Frank humbly.
Isabella laughed and said, "Don't be so humble sir Frank, I know you're the real deal. Make yourselves at home, sit first at the bench and wait a minute for I'm gonna prepare a snack," she said to them.
"No it's okay, we were fine," said Frank but suddenly.
"Blurrrrp,"
Frank's stomach made a sound.
Isabella giggled and went hurriedly to the kitchen.
"We olds sure get hungry easily huh," Said Frank.
"Heheheheh," Shinpatsu laughed. Isabella carried cookies and Lumiel helped his mother carry the orange juice.
They drank and were merrily talking to each other and Frank told his story when they met with Rain. According to Frank, they visited their relatives just recently but they were cast out for their sons and daughters were already dead. While their Granddaughters didn't even recognize them. So they ended up with these current situations. Isabella said to them to stay in their house for the night while they were finding a place to rest.
