Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Not only that attack carried the power of Solnova, but the silver magic circle on its tip was also something that restricted the Mana flow for the one locked by me.

It was similar to the ability the Ent that chased after me before I met Fern had.

And it took me a long time to actually recreate something like that and enchant it on Asta.

Asta was a special weapon, and it could use any enchantments programmed in it anytime I wanted.

The only downfall of this was the used enchantment would be a one-time use thing.

Well, it was fine because I can enchant practically endless spells on Asta.

The enchanted spells were different from the magic I can cast or script.

They required something special to activate.

A special body type, processing, energy input and output, different catalysts, or resonation of different spells that a normal human body can\'t produce without being at least at the level of Rein\'s grandma.

But with Asta, I can just use those spells however I wanted.

It didn\'t even use my own energy, so it was even better.

The headmaster was surprised by this attack, and I would have to thank Celes I had won this fight like this.

He said three attacks, and he used his third attack to defend this time. And that was it for him.

But I still had my third attack left.

I had already won if we were having a battle, match, or fight but, this was just a test, his test no less.

The objective was a demonstration of three spells.

And he had just used his third spell, a (tier-3) Aether spell.

It was an (Ice Spik), and the moment it collided with my materialized Solnova covered Asta, the light that escaped from it was the result of a fire and light attribute attack\'s collision with ice type attack.

But the opponent\'s attack was strong.

It actually sent Asta flying after all the energy from the explosion was exhausted and even the speed at which Asta fell to the ground was slow because of the drained energy.

The headmaster was still airborne till the moment the two spells collided, and the collision was great.

I knew my Asta wasn\'t just yet enough to block the Mana of someone as strong as him but; I believed it could give me a brief moment.

And luck was on my side and he knew that attack was going to hit him.

And even after being stronger, he couldn\'t help but give up on this particular situation.

I could only make this scenario and push him into this because I had Celes.

I had my wonderful familiar with a practically endless talking range, something special to us.

A master and a familiar could understand each other naturally.

What they say, how they feel, the emotions as well as the feelings.

But, to the ones like us, the one with an origin beast as a companion, or who can talk with telepathic or similar links, there\'s a natural range to this telepathic line.

And if the companion is somehow outside of that natural distance, they can\'t talk with each other.

And surprisingly, this headmaster\'s companion was a talkative one before Celes.

A beast as rare as Celes was naturally peculiar for [Owl of natural wisdom], something which has been rare throughout ancient history, and maybe, there are only fifteen or so people who have this kind of owl as their companion in this whole world right now.

And most of them are masters of the eastern continent, the eastern martial artists.

There are five other known people with a crystal butterfly like me on this continent, and three on the rest of the two continents each.

But, unlike any of these owls who had a natural lifespan of thousand years and had a lot of time to find the one they want to serve, Celes was different.

She was different, even among her own kind.

A special one, a special one in true meaning.

Celes and I can talk while being however far we wanted.

And from the experiments we have done throughout our life to find the range of this connection, we couldn\'t find the limits even when Celes reached one of the ends of the great forest.

The natural and last remaining habitat of the fire tribe people that willow tree talked about and was truly almost like a hell within fifty kilometers of a radius of that place\'s entrance.

The heat was too much, and I asked her to come back at that time.

Though the range I can see what Celes was seeing was still not that good, I would still be able to see Celes\'s vision across this southern part of the empire.

But, our voice communication range has developed very well during our time with grandma.

And taking advantage of the fact that this old owl, that was almost as old as his master, was interested in a special and young creature like Celes, we started the \'story time\' while getting away from here.

Celes understood what I was doing, and she was naturally happy she was being a help to me in this way, even if she had to deceive this great grandfather like old owl.

Well, she didn\'t actually have much to do with him.

I only said to just keep flaying in the different direction from here, and just keep asking him about his master and the \'cool\' things the both of them have done together.

She was having fun on her own, but the fact that none of those old ones, Rein\'s crow or the owl, had caught up that they were getting too far away from their masters was also something special to Celes.

She was amazing... and so was her <Skill>.

Those birds, both Rein\'s crow, and his owl were a creature of great wisdom.

But, before a young one like Celes who was as strong as both of them, they couldn\'t do much but get sucked in her sweet talk, gentle voice, childish chuckles, and the unnoticeable energy that almost cut off their connection with their masters, they could do nothing but the things she wanted.

It wasn\'t something Celes would have learned without our master\'s help but, Celes was some of the greatest learners she had seen and when I heard her, a divine beast of wisdom, praise my dear little Celes so much... I couldn\'t help but be happy.

To use her skill and create a scenario and perfect conditions, atmosphere, and mood, to make the other companions tell her about their masters... even bigger cheat than the disguise.

But this one only worked against familiars. Not any other beast, even if it is of the same kind.

This was a complicating thing, but, in short, as long as it was a familiar weaker than Celes, they can never actually defeat her or hide something from her.

This was something only she could do and not her clones.

But still, this was amazing.

Even at this moment where the headmaster has accepted his defeat and was sorting out his thoughts while standing before me, Celes was returning from the long walk or flight with her two grandpas, and even now, they had no idea they had flown to almost the border of the southern territory.

And they would never know, not until their masters are smart enough to figure out something like this had happened.

And I knew the headmaster, as well as Rein, would figure out Celes had something to do with this one but, I knew even this thousands-of-year-old headmaster before me could never actually do anything about this ability.

Celes was familiar, and her ability was for familiars, not humans or any other intelligent race.

Although she would have a hard time doing something like this again after their masters tell them, I believed she could pull this one off regardless of that.

It wasn\'t her fault. She was a natural sweet talker and genuinely pure being.

She was smart, good, cheerful, and some of the happiest creatures I had ever seen in this complicated life of mine.

And she was too perfect and compatible with me that I could never thank her enough for being with me.

I… survived today and won against one of the strongest in the world.

Well... this wasn\'t a fight but a test, so I passed the test with flying colors and the defeated smile on his face said all on his mind.

His last attack has been wasted, and that was a great feat I had just accomplished there.

He was an archmage, one who loved playing with opponents who had something special about them and test a certain aspect of their talents.

The owl was a good storyteller too, and as I heard those things, I was seeing the person before me in a new light.

He was far more amazing than I knew, and the adventures he had in his early days, the places he visited, as well as all the fights he had with the seemingly impossible enemies... I wanted to do that, too.

Now... I also wanted to do those things.

Venturing the world with my dear friend Rein if she wanted, meeting new people, creating an awesome adventurer party.

Seeing new places, fighting monsters, finding and clearing dungeons and labyrinths.

Finding treasure and old stuff.

I wanted to do those things.

But not now.

For now, until I was at the academy and an adult, I wanted to be with my family.

Be with them and just live happily until the day of joining the academy comes.

I was still too young, or so I think I am, to get myself into life-threatening things an adventurer usually does.

p Or maybe we might just get the license now and see the places in the empire... if possible.

But had to get into the school first. I have many things to do after that.

And to get into the academy, I had to impress the person before me.

And I knew... what I will show him next will turn the interest into genuine excitement.

And not only him.

Now that we were standing still, and the lights had vanished, everyone could see the things and the devastation on the ground.

And it was going to get worse real soon.

\'It\'s not every day you see a child using a rune. And one that was most probably new to the people in this place.\'

An excited smile appeared on my face and after closing my eyes and taking a deep breath... I entered the [ZONE].
