Although Yale hadn't checked the fates of those two, he knew that if they wanted to meet him again, they had a difficult path ahead.
Everyone had a fate, and it was possible to change it with effort and by turning stronger but relying too much on powerful existences was always harmful to those fates.
However, the Timeless Sovereigns were exceptions and didn't have any fate, since they destroyed it after altering the past. Thus, every action of them was something that the fates of the rest weren't taking into account and would constantly change just by being in contact with the Timeless Sovereign. The fates of others were passively influenced.
Fortunately, Yale's passive influence into fates was minimal because how he changed the past, so he didn't need to worry too much for that, but he had already taught a lot to those girls, and that was an active alteration, which any expert would provoke by interacting too much with weaklings.
Even the parents let their child be on their own until turning strong enough to avoid harming their fate, and the same applied to disciples and students; a bit of guidance was alright but overprotecting them was bad.
"We will train hard from now on, and we will make that teacher will accept us true disciples and not only students!"
Yale smiled when hearing the intentions of the two girls. He felt that if they really managed to do it, he wouldn't mind taking them as his disciples.
After finishing to hear the words of his two cute students, Yale turned his head towards the group of then men that had been waiting for their conversation to end.
"If you are planning to say something, be quick."
Yale truly didn't value those ten too much, but since they had been very obedient the whole trip, he was at least willing to hear their words before departing.
"Thank you, boss. We don't know if boss might find it acceptable, so reject it if you feel that we are too arrogant. We want to ask for having our ages reduces to train again. We understood how much we wasted our time after hearing your exceptional explanations, and we want to make use of that knowledge to train properly this time. We already speak with the others, and they will take care of us in our weak period."
They were all weaker than the two little girls, so there wasn't any problem if the stopped protecting the families, but since the families decided to live together using the reputation created by Yale, they felt that those ten were worth of investing.
"Do you understand the consequences of your request? You seem to understand that your current level will be reduced, but it isn't that simple. The body influences the mind, reducing your ages might also change the way you think, and with the age-slowing after increasing in rank, it is possible that you never return to be the same."
Yale knew very well how one could be influenced by the body. He noticed himself when being in a kid from with Aiwai, but he could change his appearance at will, so it wasn't any major problem.
Lar also suffered from that problem which turned her personality far more childish that it was in her past life since she continued living in a child's body for a lot of time. However, she was a reincarnated person, and his resistance to the influence was far bigger than any normal person due to her soul being stronger than it should be.
Thus, it was easy to guess how much those escorts would be influenced if Yale changed their age.
If Yale just turned them fifteen, there should be enough time for them to reach the novice rank before sixteen and the effects would be minimized, but their potential would be inferior to how it would be if Yale reset their levels completely.
"We understand. However, we are ready. As long as you, our boss, is alright with it, we will be glad to start from zero again."
They had carefully thought about it, and they knew that it wouldn't be easy, but they wanted to become true experts and not mere mercenaries, and the only way to do it was starting from zero again since they had already wasted too much potential due to how had lived before.
"If that is what you wish, I will turn it true as my farewell gift. You two, from now on, they are your little brothers; you must help them to train. However, if they disrespect you, you can punish them as you fell it convenient, I activated the World's Protection on them, but you two could ignore it."
Those ten turned children while Yale was speaking, and they didn't even notice when Yale did it.
"You all now have nine years old, so you can't train, just wait for your birthday and then start."
Yale didn't like to act half-way, so he reset their levels completely. As for letting them in a state that they couldn't train for some time, it was just compensation to avoid his action from turning purely beneficial to them.
That was a way to avoid affecting their fates negatively by giving them some harm voluntarily. They would still suffer quite a bit, but it was better some controlled harm than random one in the future.
After giving that last gift to them, Yale left while hearing those ten speak among themselves. For what Yale heard, it seemed that one had his birthday two days later while another of them had it the previous month, but since Yale never asked for their birthdays nor was interested in them, that turned just in pure luck or bad luck.
While Yale left the town, he ignored how high the effects of his actions turned to the world, in the same way as when he transformed those bandits before.
In less than a year, that town would change its name for Youngster's Town and would be controlled by those two sisters. Those ten after they started to train would turn into their most loyal and powerful subordinates.
Moreover, Youngster's Town would turn into a sacred pilgrimage place in the future due to Yale's religion continental expansion.
