Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 491 Inauguration



"So, Quin, I had many questions for you but before that, just out of curiosity, was your grandfather\'s name Yulious Kapamir Nyok or something like that?"

It was an important question and I asked it while we were running so it was more shocking for her.

"How do you know Grandpa\'s name?!" She shouted while resuming her running after almost stooping from the shock that someone knew her grandpa\'s name.

We were running towards the inner area of the academy towards the general auditorium 3 where our inauguration was taking place. 

Rein was already there but we were still running in the hallway. And we were running while using our movement skills so it was even more dangerous to stop suddenly like that.

But it was surprising for her, and I can understand how it would feel if someone called your guardian\'s name out of nowhere that you thought no one in the world aside from you knew.

But, this scenario was different.

The name I had just called out was far more famous than she can think.

\'And from how she just said they lived on some island, it is clear that she lived with him in his last days and he raised her as his child.\'

Well, it was quite a story but her positive answer meant that she had no connection with the ancient tribe that I was interested in.

Sooo… there wasn\'t much I could gain from her in regard to my personal question.

But, that didn\'t mean she was useless to me or anything like that.

She was strong after all. Not fit for a core position of the Lightshade but she can definitely be very useful.

\'And she has that grimoire too, so she will definitely become strong enough to do pretty great things.\'

And considering her relationship with one of the greatest adventurers to ever live…

"How long has it been since you got away from the island the two of you used to live on, Quin?" I asked again without answering her question and though she was confused, she answered immediately, "Two months, I believe."

That wasn\'t much of a long time so I can say she didn\'t know much about the outside world.

"Did the two of you used to live on that island alone?" I asked again but this time, she seemed hastiest to answer the question.

Still, she wanted to know how I knew her grandpa so she answered the best she could, "Kind of?"

The answer was vague but that much was enough to quench my curiosity.

"Your grandpa was and still is a famous person, Quin." I smiled at her warmly as I was saying that and continued with the same expression.

"He must have given you some list of instructions before he left with a letter of recommendation from the adventurer\'s association and told you to come to the academy right?

It was a wise decision and I am glad you followed that advice so well.

I should be able to tell you some important things if you let me take a look at those instructors but before that, did he specifically give you some necklace or ring or a badge saying it would be helpful to you when you get out?"

She suddenly stopped on her spot when she heard that, and I stopped just before her too.

The doors to the auditorium were just ahead of us and students were also going in from the other side so it was fine to talk for a bit.

We had a minute to finish this small but important talk now.

pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ "How do you know all this…?" She was stunned and the Mana around her was getting denser again, meaning she was getting ready for anything wrong coming out of my mouth. 

But that behavior was unnecessary.

"I am your friend and it is my duty to help you, right? Don\'t worry, I just know those things because that\'s just how I am.

Didn\'t Uriel say I know everything? Just believe that for now and show me that thing if you can.

It is important and you might get hurt if some wrong people know this information."

I was serious this time, and she could see that in my eyes.

She could also sense the genuine concern I had right now so she calmed down, nodded, and took out a normal-looking ring, a diary, and a badge from her storage space, and showed it to me.

"He wrote to go to the adventurer\'s association branch on this island when I get here and ask them to let me meet the branch manager, and show him this badge and ring."

I took them, looked at the ring with my eyes, and then skimmed through the diary.

It was quite interesting and more than I had thought but it was just as I was thinking.

\'Good…\'

"Thanks." I returned the two things and looked back at her after a deep breath, and then turned back.

"Alright let\'s go in first." 

"Hmm? What? Lucifer?!"

I entered the auditorium, searched for my fiancée, and waved at her when my eyes met hers.

Thankfully, she had reserved seats for us in this colossal room and the stage far below us was still empty.

"Heyyy! At least answer me!!"

Quin came running behind me but before she could even say anything more than that, I walked ahead, reached Rein, gave her a peck on her cherry cheeks, and sat down.

"Lucifer! You bastard!" And she came running, her face covered with a look that Rein was seeing for the first time, and she obviously liked it.

"It\'s starting Quin. Please take a seat."

-Oooooooooong!

I gave her a warm smile as the stage was illuminated with a few colorful lights and people started appearing on the large stage.

"I need an explanation, good gentleman." Quin smiled at me with a good warmth behind it, good enough to burn something down to a crisp.

[[ "I do have a good explanation good lady so please have a seat." ]]

With another smile on my face, I pointed at the seat beside me... however, Rein stood up walked up to Quin, grabbed her hand, walked to her place, and \'requested\' the girl to sit beside her.

"Is this seat taken?" Just then, a boy walked up to me and asked with a complicated expression.

He was wearing a silver star with [Eternal tigers] house\'s mark on it and though his clothes were better than the common clothing, they weren\'t as lavish as a noble or royal clothing.

He seemed embarrassed but the entire room was almost filled and the seats were already occupied by the students so our row was also the same.

"Yeah… sure." I smiled bitterly at him and he nodded back, understanding the situation I was in right now. 

"Chrysis." He extended his hand and I shook it with the same bitter feeling as I looked at my fiancée who now sat between Quin and me.

"Lucifer. Sorry about that." 

He looked older than us with his bit bigger and more muscular body and from his eyes, I can tell he had lived through his fair share of difficulties.

"Don\'t be. I got a seat thanks to your girlfriend." He sighed as he looked at Rein and then on the other side at Quin who still had a confused look clouding her face after I talked with her through Celes\'s connection.

I had to answer her previous questions but before that, I looked at this \'new\' person who sat beside me.

"She is my fiancée Mister Chrysis. My dear lovely fiancée." I gave him a true smile and he smiled with a perfect surprise behind his still-calm eyes.

"The captain of [Dark society] and vice-captain of [Wisdom phoenix] are betrothed. What a nice thing to be a part of."

He smiled and nodded at me, and then finally, I glanced back at the girl who sat on the other side of my weird girl.

[[ "Quin? Can you hear me?" ]] 

"Y-yes?"

[[ "You are supposed to say that in your mind like using the Mana speech transfer but with only your mental power. Just focus and you will be fine." ]]

"Uriel…?"

Rein said all that and it was almost perfect but she forgot one crucial thing.

[[ "You can just think out loud and it will work so no need to think too deeply about this. And this is a special ability too so don\'t tell anyone Miss house captain." ]]

Rein chuckled and looked at her, and then me, and then looked at the person beside me, nodded at him, and focused on the stage below us like everyone else.

[[ "Like this?" ]] 

[[ "Yes. Exactly like that." ]]

[ "Good morning young students." ]

The vice headmaster suddenly walked up on the stage and marked the start of the inauguration ceremony but before the vice headmaster started, I gave Quin a short summary of important answers.

[[ "Alright Quin. First of all, your grandpa was a famous adventurer known on all three continents.

There was an era people only talked about him throughout the three continents. However, that was one hundred and fifty years ago. 

He retired in his old days and is said to be dead for the last hundred years but now here you are with a ring that clearly means that he has dubbed you as his successor...

He was called the definition of an adventurer Quin, someone who roamed the dangers of this world, someone who collected countless treasures, and someone who had a strange interest in the Xivinikini tribe, and the sole language you know was the language of that very primordial tribe that is said to have survived for the longest.

Quin, I know you do not know this but Master Yulious… was rich. So famous, rich, and noble at his core that the world envied what he possessed and what they could never have.

I don\'t know how much you trust us right now but, doing something wrong might put the word out that \'the successor of master Yulious had appeared on the island of magic\'s wealth\' and that ultimately might put you in danger.

The academy is no doubt the safest place there is but not the island itself.

There are bad people and you will need help." ]]

I didn\'t need more words to tell her just how important this matter was and that she really might get into something troublesome.

[ "Alright everyone. Welcome to the academy again and we will now start your inauguration ceremony so please give a round of applause to these important people that you all will be seeing regularly during your time here." ]

The Vice headmaster was done with the preparations and the stage was starting to be filled with other important people so this was the start.

Quin was contemplating the things that I had just said and Rein was happy because she knew that Quin will also be coming with us on our shopping trip today.

She was having her own fun and Chry was doing fine too so there was nothing to be worried about.

Everyone else had settled down and Carla, Zoe, and others were together, and I could tell they were cursing at Chry to make the first move and get acquainted with \'me\'.

It was fine though, we all will get acquainted with time so nothing much to think about that too.

There was this small matter with our new friend here and it will be fine as long as we don\'t encounter some high-ranking authority on the island who was behind the treasures of Sir Yulious.

So, things were fine, and they became finer than ever when we saw a strangely familiar male figure walking up on the stage and standing on the other side of the group of teachers that were already there.

[[ "Darling! That\'s him right?!!" ]]

I knew Rein would recognize that special person and there was no way I could ever forget someone as important as him.

\'It was you…\'

We didn\'t think we would see him here but now that we know…

\'Yes!\'

He is going to join us. I don\'t know how but he will be one of the core members of the Lightshade.
