Tbate-The Reincarnates

Arthur Leywin

From Lancelot Winey's Point of View (Ayanokoji Kiyotaka)

My dad and I were having dinner, when all of a sudden he said: "Tomorrow I'm going to meet an old friend of mine, he wants some drinks for his niece's birthday, do you want to join me?"

My father was slowly integrating me into the family business, making me meet clients and maintaining a good relationship with them, so I agreed to accompany him.

The weather was good. The cicadas sang like a screech of heat as the temperature reached a new historic record. It was an early afternoon in the middle of summer, my father and I are heading to Vincent Helstea's house.

Although Vincent is not a mage he owns the biggest auction case in Dicathen, as owner of the Helstea Auction House, which attracts even the noblest of nobles and even the royal family, his line of influence is very large, a good relationship with him can make my life a lot easier in the future, he is definitely someone very good for me to put on my 'people to keep alive' list.

I was so lost in my thoughts that before I knew it, the carriage arrived at Vincent's house.

The driver opened the door and my dad and I got out, my dad and I walked to the double wooden doors my dad knocked twice on them, a maid opened the door.

"Good afternoon, my name is Simon Winey and this is my son Lancelot, we have an appointment with Mr Helstea." My dad said with a professional smile.

"Please follow me Mr. Winey and Lancelot." The maid guided us to a garden.

From Arthur Leywin's point of view

A piece of gray metal cut into my shoulder, I forced a huge breath to steady myself, and watched Elijah.

We are currently both training in the garden, my father and Vincent are watching us as they enjoy their breakfast at a table in the garden, my mother, Ellie and Tabitha have gone shopping in town with their friends.

Suddenly the big door that gave access to the garden was opened, catching our attention, causing Elijah and I to stop our little duel.

"Mr.Vincent, Mr. Winey and his son Lancelot have just arrived." An elderly maid spoke, while two figures were visible to all.

Mr. Winey is a very handsome young man, with a tall build, white skin, slim physique, thin face and a very youthful appearance for his age (even if he is already an adult). He has long straight red hair, and his eyes are a vibrant blue and somewhat flashy.

Beside him was his son Lancelot.

Lancelot is a young man of medium height, with a more slender physique and no apparent muscles. In addition to having white skin, his eyes have a reddish hue and even a very gentle look in his eyes. His hair is medium and held in a low ponytail, which is positioned slightly on the side; in addition, its hairs are white in color, with a very peaked cut and small fringes, in addition to having a reddish streak quite apparent on the right side of its head.

"Mr.Vincent, Mr. Winey and his son Lancelot have just arrived." The maid announced before leaving.

Lancelot and his father came down the stairs and greeted us all.

My father, Vincent and Mr. Winey went to Vincent's office to discuss buying drinks for Ellie's birthday, leaving just the three of us in the garden.

"You know I didn't expect there to be another elemental court mage." Lancelot Commented as earth, water, wind and fire mana begin to envelop his right hand.

"I was also surprised when I found out." I said while doing the same as him.

"Elijah why are you so upset?" I asked while watching my friend's astonished expression, Lancelot dissipated the elements that involved his hand, I did the same as him.

"I thought you were the only anomaly when it came to magic." Elijah said scared.

"Elijah, didn't you watch the tournament between the three races two years ago?" All the citizens of Dicathen were aware of Lancelot's magical ability.

"No." He replied.

"Are you going to attend Xyrus Academy?" Lancelot asked.

"Yes, hearing that the girls there are very pretty." Elijah spoke excitedly.

"I still can't believe that one of the main reasons you wanted to study at Xyrus as a Battle Mage student was because they had prettier girls." I gave him a firm slap on the back.

Elijah was much more eager to go to school, expressing on many occasions what kind of "hot" friends he will make. I keep telling him that we're only 12 and those girls aren't "hot" at our age, but he filters that out and says he'll choose older girls too.

Lancelot just smiled as he watched our interaction

"Shut up... just watch. The new and improved Elijah is going to get an amazing girlfriend who can only make you drool with jealousy!" Elijah puffs out his chest, "excited about your future beautiful friends Lancelot?"

"No, I already like someone."
