The Former Hero is Regarded With Surprise

Beatrice was so stunned by what she had just seen that she forgot the dire straits she was in. She had heard countless times that Allen had never advanced past Level 1, even from Allen himself. And though it had been five years since they had last seen each other, she hadn’t heard anything contrary to that in the meantime. Yes, he was known as a good-for-nothing, but he was still the duke’s oldest son. If anything had happened, she would have heard about it...so surely he must have still been at Level 1. And yet what she had just seen him do was in no way the actions of a Level 1 warrior. In fact, Beatrice wasn’t sure exactly what she had just seen him do.

What she did know was that both the wolflike creature and the objects that were attacking from his rear had all been torn to shreds. Clearly, Allen had done something.

Beatrice was a Level 9 warrior, known as one of the strongest in the kingdom. No, she wasn’t confident in her offensive abilities, but she knew that nobody could best her when it came to defense.The most crucial aspect of defense was observation, as the only way to defend against an opponent’s attacks was to be able to recognize them. And yet even she couldn’t comprehend what Allen had just done. It shouldn’t have been possible.

At the same time, a sense of understanding awoke in the back of her mind. Somehow, it really didn’t seem all that strange that Allen in particular would be capable of such a feat. It had been ten years since Beatrice had first met him. Four years since she had graduated from the Knight’s Academy, her swearing service to her liege soon after that, having joined the Order and been selected for the Royal Guard. That was when she had been summoned to a birthday party for some noble or other. She still clearly remembered the sight of the pair who had attracted more attention than the guest of honor: Allen, still known as a child prodigy at the time, and the girl to whom Beatrice had sworn her service, who was treated as a child prodigy as well, though in a different way.

It was only natural that the two of them would converse. They were both young, recipients of preferential treatment, and of similar status. In terms of both their personal feelings and the social concerns of the adults, there was good reason for them to interact.

Accompanying her liege as part of her guard, Beatrice had witnessed their conversation firsthand. They had exchanged pleasantries, commenting on each other’s busy lives and the like. But Beatrice, observing Allen, sensed something strange about the boy. She had an odd sense that she couldn’t quite get a handle on him. The best way of putting it was that she questioned whether he was really a child at all. It was not a matter of precocity—her liege a precocious sort herself—nor could it be explained simply by him being even more mature.
