Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

This was the first time I was hearing my dad even had a master.

All this time, I only knew me trained on his own and most of his knowledge was from experience, talent, and practice.

But now that I thought about it... my dad was now some of the few (tier-7) mages in this vast empire.

There were few of his rank and thinking back to his mastery of basic magic techniques. Oh yes...

His basics were too polished to be self-taught.

I have seen his magic casting and I remember everything I had seen him do.

His magic, those awesome techniques where he can actually cast magic traditionally like any other mage, processing a spell quickly, and understanding the magic he is using.

Though one could achieve that level by exceptional talent and one-sided actual battles, if you don\'t have the firm base, the ground, the foundation needed for that, coming to the place he was now wouldn\'t be possible.

"Now that I think about it... he sure is amazing," I mumbled under my breath as I nodded in understanding.

This grandma was a special mage... her natural attribute was a higher version of earth, metal.

I could feel it and she was great, really great at what she was doing.

Though she had hidden her Mana precisely and the way she so naturally hid her powers with my eyes, I just knew she was super strong.

And she had some of the best experiences in magic, enough to be a former teacher at the magic academy of the south.

Now I was beginning to understand just how close the ties between our two families were.

And it was amazing.

Nodding at her, I smiled, surpassing her and making the two others with her shake their heads with a smile.

She found their reaction and this whole situation amusing and from her smile, I at least understood she was thankful to me.

"As I have heard all this time, the so-called young hero of the empire, someone who saved the guild leader of one of the greatest merchant guilds and a valuable (tier-7) mage.

The one who saved his parents from a bastard demon and almost sacrificed his life.

Someone who would be a great archer and someone who had grown up to be a miraculous person.

You really are something, Eon." She smiled and signaled me to come to her.

And as I stood before her, she looked past me and to Zoe, who still stood at the back with hesitation.

"You do look just normal little child but, I can tell you are nothing less than this boy.

But, you are a good girl that I can say for sure.

Hmmm... come here, what are you doing there?"

She smiled at her, and Zoe nodded her head and stood behind me.

Looking at her with hesitation, Zoe mumbled slowly, "Wow..."

She was hiding her gaze, but I knew she liked her gorgeous appearance.

She was one of the most beautiful people she had seen, physically and in astral form.

Zoe saw the true beauty of a being and I could tell just how she admired this one.

In her eyes, when she saw a person for what they were, others appeared as... how should I put it?

A cluster of light?

Lights of different colors, shapes, sizes, and densities.

It was difficult to understand what she saw others as but, I could understand how she felt every time she saw others with this gaze.

And when she said pretty, she meant it, just like how she liked Rein so much she called her big sister naturally.

Why did she call her big sister again?

To her, I was something like the light of sunlight. A cluster of different lights that become white at the core.

The shape of this was like a sun, and a sun that started with pure light but at the same time had different colors dedicated to some places that didn\'t change.

Rein was like a darker night with many different colored stars and her grandpa was something this grandma.

As one found their true strength and understood things about themselves, the colors she saw decreased, become one, and took a shape.

The grandpa in her eyes was a strong body with purple winds covering every part of his being.

Winds of different natures varying from calm ones that could heal to chaotic ones that could obliterate.

This grandma was something similar too... but what?

[[ "A silver diamond shining dully at the center of a flower made of mostly silver metals.

Different metals but one flower and the diamond of its core... is so refined it looks like the ones you sold and mom collected.

It\'s really beautiful, big brother~!" ]]

She was restricted to tell someone this information other than me and I was happy every time she talked to me like this.

She just loved some of the beautiful ones and she felt thankful to be able to share these thoughts with someone.

And I was also thankful to be of help to my little sister.

Smiling and shaking my head at them, I patted her head and moved her forward to face them.

"At least say hello, Zoe. She thinks you are beautiful, but she\'s too shy to say it."

Rein and her grandpa and grandma smiled at this behavior and nodded their head in understanding.

"H-hello..." Zoe greeted her with a small bow and the grandma patted her head, surprising her.

"How adorable~. Huhu. I like you, little lady." She said with a bright smile and Zoe nodded in agreement.

"I-I like you too..." she replied with a genuine voice, making me and Rein sigh with an amused smile.

The same energetic, cheerful and loud Zoe was sometimes like this... a cute little girl.

And this was actually normal for children her- our age.

My cousins, Rein and I, were the weird ones.

Maybe she will have a place like Anna in our house?

I was looking forward to seeing them through.

"They should arrive soon, right?" I mumbled under my breath, and Rein suddenly remembered it.

"Oh shict! Grandma! Their family is on their way here. Even Anna is coming! I have to prepare, so let\'s talk later!!" she shouted and just ran out of the room after thanking me for reminding her.

...this was fast.

"Hohoho. She is acting more excited for some reason." The grandpa said while looking at her and pointing his eyes at me.

They talked with their gazes, and a surprising look covered her face instantly.

"Really? Are you..." she asked, but stopped while seeing the smile on his face and a confident nod.

And on the other side, Zoe tried to hide her chuckle from me, but failed miserably.

Even they noticed it and the grandma smiled thankfully while looking at me.

"Looks like we will have more to talk about than I had thought, Eon." She smiled at me mysteriously, and I just nodded.

There were strangely many things to talk about with many people... will this night be enough though?

With my family, then these two and then at last with her...

The day has been stretched for long... will the night be the same?

I was looking forward to many things here but... meeting my family was the first thing on them.
