-Mystic Eyes(Stage-1) ]
This was the first time I have seen my states being this high, and mostly the [Magic Power], which grew significantly after my awakening.
I knew something like this would happen so I wasn\'t surprised about that.
What surprised me was the [Origin Skill] which unexpectedly grew to the (Basic Mastery).
I looked at the skill which I unlocked at this point.
\'Mystic Eyes...\'
I had read about them.
They were rare but not that much. Among every few people with a [Origin Skill], people with <Mystic Eyes> appeared once in a while.
But like every [Origin Skill], the <Mystic Eyes> have different effects and uses.
I tried to use it for the first time.
It was easy to use the skills as I only had to think about it or say its name.
I thought in my mind.
[Origin Skill- Mystic Eyes]
I could feel <Mana> inside me quickly going towards my eyes.
It was very fast that not even a second had passed and the sensation vanished. A new world appeared before my eyes.
\'Wow...\'
I could see everything.
I could see the fly in a corner vividly.
I could see the ant on the table.
I looked outside and there... I could see birds, a long-distance away.
I could even see a grass blade some distance away... clearly.
But then, everything suddenly got back to normal.
There was some pain in the back of my head but that quickly vanished.
\'I think it\'s because I don\'t know how to control them yet.\'
But still...
\'This is amazing!\'
This was a perfect <Skill> for me, as an archer.
It\'s a very good thing. I was very excited. I now had a vision as sharp as the eagles, if not more. I took a deep breath and slowly released it.
\'Ok, let\'s calm down a bit.\'
I thought as I laid back on the bed.
Many thoughts were passing through my mind one by one.
\'Now that I have gone through the <Awakening>, I can practice magic. But doing that on my own will definitely be risky so that thing is for the future.
I can\'t continue my daily routine, as mom told me to stay still for the time being.
Most importantly, I had to convince mom in the future.\'
There were many things I could do in the future.
But I had to forget all of that and remain calm.
Handling mom will definitely be a bit difficult.
And dad may even refuse. I had to consider that possibility.
The upcoming future will be a bit difficult.
And there was even my archery practice!
"Haaa..."
I sighed and closed my eyes.
\'Well, rolling around in bed for some days isn\'t bad either. I can even practice controlling my <Mystic Eyes> while still in here.\'
Thinking about things like this, I fell asleep without knowing.
But there were two people who were talking about something else in the other room.
***
"How is this possible?"
Nolen asked with a worried expression.
"Early manifestation of <Mana Nucleus> is very rare but not impossible. The desire for growth and the knowledge needed for possible early manifestation play a key role in it.
But, I have never heard of a child, who isn\'t even 6 years old, being <Awaken>. I think the reason for that is most likely an <Auxiliary Skill> related to <Mana>.
We never asked him about the \'Status Window\', right? We will have to ask now that he has <Awakened>."
Brian explained as he too looked worried.
This situation wasn\'t normal for me either. This was the first time I ever heard about someone this young <Awakening>. And so normally at that.
\'He definitely is a genius...\'
Brian thought to himself as a small smile appeared on his face.
"You better not be thinking something weird."
Nolen warned with a sharp look in her eyes.
He immediately bowed and said in a shaking voice.
"Y...yes..yes!"
She looked at him with pitiful eyes.
\'What am I gonna do with them...?\'
She was already worried sick that Eon would have hurt himself but, he was fortunately all right.
On the other hand, his dad was thinking something weird like \'He could be an amazing mage.\' knowing that it\'s not going to happen on her watch anytime soon.
"Haaa..."
She sighed.
This was an unbelievable thing.
But it had already happened.
\'What should I do now? Eon is perfectly fine and he is safe too. I knew a day like this would come but... I never imagined it would be this much early.\'
Magic was dangerous if not controlled properly.
And a young kid like Eon would definitely get hurt without proper teaching.
\'But he is not even 6 years old!?\'
She was in agony over the fact that her little boy was smart and different from others but now... he is a <Awakened>. Which means he could practice magic.
As a mother, she was happy and sad at the same time.
\'He is a genius. That fact couldn\'t be denied. But it is that very thing that worries me the most. The fate of such individuals is always... full of dangers. For that reason, he had to be strong.
Strong enough to protect himself if needed.
But I can\'t let him practice magic just yet.\'
She nodded and stood up.
After a long time of contemplating, she had made up her mind.
She stood up and left the room.
Brian followed behind her with a stoic expression.

"Mom? Dad?"
I got up after hearing the sound of the door opening.
Mom entered with her usual smiling face.
Dad was behind her with a confused look on his face.
She sat down beside me and put her hand on my cheek. She then kissed my forehead and asked me a question I was eager to hear.
"Do you want to become a mage like your daddy in the future?"
I hesitated for a moment and answered with a determined look.
"Yes. I want to become a mage but I like archery too. So..."
I stopped for a moment and looked into my mother\'s eyes.
"I want to become a <Magic Archer>."
She flinched.
\'This will be more difficult for me than I thought.\'
She thought that he would be happy to hear her ask this.
But he dropped a new bombshell that was even more dangerous.
She knew about <Magic Archers>. They were from a group of people that practiced in both physical and magical aspects.
That is more difficult but the more dangerous thing in that is always magic.
So, at the end of the day, magic was at the center of the problem.
She looked at him with a smile and said.
"Ok, then. you can do it but I have some of my conditions you must have to follow."
This was unexpected. My eyes widened in surprise.
I reflexively replied to her with a shocked and happy expression.
"Really!?"
She nodded her head and answered with a smile.
"Yes~. But, if you don\'t follow my conditions then you will have to do whatever I tell you to do."
She said with a secretive expression.
I thought about it for some time and answered with a low and uncertain voice.
"O...ok."
She nodded her head and smiled brightly.
Dad, who was standing next to me had a pitiful look in his eyes as he thought.
\'She got him.\'
I looked and him and had an ominous feeling.
\'Was my decision right?\'
I questioned my own judgment for the first time in a long while.
"Ok then. My conditions are...
1) You will only start your magic practice after your birthday.
2) You will only train in the morning and only practice magic when dad is around.
3) You will have to play with me when you aren\'t practicing. Oh, honey, you can always join us.
4) You won\'t do anything dangerous. Something that could hurt you is a total NO.
5) If you want anything I said to be true then you will have to surprise me by making me something special.
If I don\'t like it then you can forget about everything."
Those were her conditions.
She had a very bright look.
She thought that she got me.
But...
"Ok! That will fully work for me! But, I will need dad to help me with the thing I will be making."
She looked at my bright expression.
\'Did he not hear, that I won\'t allow him if he doesn\'t make something special. No, he has a very confident look. Did I miscalculate something...\'
"Oh...!"
She suddenly realized something.
"Mom~, you can\'t go back on your words now."
I interrupted her with a teasing expression like hers when she teases dad.
\'I forgot that the milkshake was his idea. So he definitely has... something up his sleeves.\'
"Hump! Ok. But it better be something nice!"
She looked embarrassed. But she said that with a straight face.
"Ok~. You and dad will love it."
I said looking at both of them one by one.
"Me too?"
Dad asked with a confused expression.
"Yes! We will all eat it together next weekend."
I replied with a brighter look.
"Ok then. I will help you the best I can!"
Dad looked very happy as if he caught what I was saying.
\'I think he understood what I was saying.\'
I smiled at mom who looked like she understood my intentions as well.
\'He remembered it\'s my birthday on that day.\'
She also looked at me with warm eyes.
\'Was he planning for that already?\'
Dad thought looking at me with a proud expression.
Looking at both of us, she sighed inwardly.
\'I should have asked for something else... I underestimated him this time. He definitely is something else.\'
She grabbed me and my father. Dad sat down with us. I was in the middle.
"You are not allowed to get hurt. Ever."
She said, or more like ordered as she hugged both of us.
"Ok."
I said hugging her back.
Dad just smiled and hugged us both from the other side.
