Chapter 800 - 800 Surprise Reunion
800 Surprise Reunion
Being told of what the other party might feel toward Thomas, Victoria got so excited. She even talked about it all night long.
Good thing that I still have my own tent to sleep. Separate from other people. So we didn’t bother anyone.
But I’m not an immortal who doesn’t need to sleep. So I asked Victoria to go out and hunt some monsters while I sleep. All that energy can be useful to get rid of the monsters nearby.
Even if she encounters an extremely powerful monsters, she can still be alive. So it’s fine for her to go wild. Though I think any powerful monsters have been subjugated by the others first.
Then we reached a village. It’s not where we need to stop, but we are still a group of agents. So we stopped for a night to investigate the village.
Even though it’s just a village, the population reached a hundred people. I guess that’s quite a lot for a village. Even after some of the villagers left for the city life, there are still a lot of people here.
But we set up a stage for just one night. We’re not looking for money. We’re just here to entertain some people while also to let the rookies, the three master level mages, perform. They were only helpers before. But now, they will be the main performers.
The others will just perform some simple acts and tricks. Because we’re not preparing for huge acts. And we also allowed everyone to watch for free.
It will be bad if someone in the city knows that we perform for free while they have to pay to see us perform. So the professional ones will only do some simple tricks. And the main performers are the three master level mages.
.....
I also perform a bit. With Victoria as my a.s.sistant. I’m just here as Roy. Not Clarence.
Everyone enjoyed it. And the villages even set up a party for us. We had a lot of drinks and food. And everyone is dancing.
Everyone is relaxed. Though that’s what they want other people to see.
The most agents who didn’t perform conducted investigation around the village. Just a small one to see if there’s anything suspicious about the village.
I also checked the village with my Divine Vision and Mind’s Eye. And I didn’t find anything. So I’m not worried about anything.
And the agents who were investigating returned after thirty minutes. They said that everything is safe and no sign of the cult being here at all. Nothing suspicious.
So we rested in that village after the show.
The three master level mages did very well for their first performance in front of audience. Not as good as professional yet, but with their great physical abilities, they can get there soon.
Having too many performers mean that we can swap some members. We can make two shifts. One for the first day, and the other is for the second day. Then for the third it will be the first group again, and the second group will play on the fourth day.
Even with just three new members, that might be difficult. So someone might need more tricks than they used to do. But since everyone thought of it as enjoyable, we’re fine with it.
“Why not just make the circus bigger so everyone can play? For example, we can make more people do acrobatic shows or more people as trapeze artists. Since I and three master level mages are here, there’s no need to worry about our body and stamina,” I suggested.
“I thought of that as well. For Roy, you have been in the circus for a while so you might not need training to be in sync with the others. But the other new members need some training to improve our chemistry. At least once they reached acceptable level, we can start thinking of a bigger performance,” Thomas suggested.
He’s no longer daydreaming most of the time again. But he still do it once in a while. At least he can still give some advise and suggestion to everyone.
The small show at the village is done. and the next day, we leave to our real destination. That village was just a village we found on the way after all.
Also, there are too few supplies we can get from there. And if we take any, it could be bad for the village. Especially after we had a party last night. So we just left without taking anything.
Well, it’s obvious that we don’t need to get supply from there. The circus has me. A summoner who can make a portal to any city I have been to and bring supplies here right away. So we don’t need to worry about our supply.
The master level summoner also said that it might be best for him to get a familiar who can make a clone of themselves. Even if it’s not to the point where the familiar is similar to Victoria, it might be enough for it to be similar to Graham.
Graham can make a clone of himself. The shadow clones. And I can also open a portal to where they are. But they are not long lasting clones like Victoria.
And the master level summoner also said that he wanted to fight on his own instead of letting his familiars to fight. So maybe it could be something with shapeshifting ability.
...Both requirements mean that he’s looking for another Black Slime. Though when I asked, he said that just one of the requirement is enough.

I also asked him how I could reach master level in my summoning. Seems like just letting my monster fight is not the only way. Fighting monsters on my own. Without magic. That’s how he reached master level.
That’s a similar way that I could get my Aura ability. To not rely on other people. Just me using my Aura. Though it seems like I also can’t use my Aura since the one I want to improve is my magic.
I tried to get him remember how he reached master level in his summoning element. And he said that he remember how he had to wrestle against some kind of ape barehanded.
So, if he needed to fight an ape, what should I fight? Maybe I can’t even use Aura to fight. So it will be a lot harder.
No Aura and no magic. Fighting against something that strong. Can I use a weapon? Or maybe I need to go barehanded like he did?
Though I don’t think I can do it anytime soon. Not because I want to destroy the cult. If that’s the case, then reaching master level is important.
But it was because I haven’t gotten my familiars to fight enough monsters.
Because I’m a summoner, I need my monster to gain experience in fighting. Only after they all got enough experience, I could breakthrough to the next level. That’s what we know about summoner.
And now that I have four familiars, I think I will need four time more experience than average summoner with only one familiar.
I was lucky so far that I could face so many enemies. But I need more.
Well, I’ll rest for a few months for now. I can fight more later. There are many monsters in Monsters World. I can go there after I finish with the circus.
And right now, Shelia and Graham should be fighting monsters in Monsters World when they are free. So I still gained experience gradually by letting them fight.
I will go to the Monsters World after the show in the next city. But that’s only to see Ray’s condition. Did he managed to get many horse monsters to obey him and become the Horse King?
And after chatting with the summoner, the tamer joined the conversation. It was similar with him too. He needed to fight a monster barehanded on his own to reach master level.
Maybe because summoners and tamers are those who work closely with monsters. So we needed to fight like a monster to reach master level.
For me, I’m fine physically since I’m an Aura Master. But for these two, they were just expert level mages when they fought a monster barehanded. But I might need an even stronger monster to fight.
Well, at least I know how to get stronger. As for air element, I already know that I have no talent in it. In my past life, I didn’t even manage to awaken it.
Reaching expert level at this age is already good enough. In fact, it’s already much better than any ordinary mages. I guess I will only continue my progress with air element after my summoning has reached master level and I got my fifth familiar.
After a few days, we finally reached the next city. And to my surprise, there’s another circus group over there.
I should have guessed that even if we are a famous group, that doesn’t mean that there are no other circus groups in the world. But to think that there’s another group in the same place. Though they seem to be done with their shows here. They are cleaning up their tent.
But I was shocked even more after looking at Thomas’ reaction.
“Sandra?!”
I see. This is why the others didn’t do anything even though they know so much already.
A widow who travels for her work. I would never guess that she’s working at a circus.
Well, everyone is excited to see the continuation of their romance. Especially Victoria who can’t seem to keep her calm.
Isn’t it interesting? A love between two rival groups who work in the same industry. I think it’s quite a common story in novels I read. Not Victoria’s novel obviously.
Well, what will Thomas do now that he knows? Let’s continue acting as a bystander in this love drama between the two.
