Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

In some big office-like room of the academy, two familiar figures were going through some paperwork, completely focused on their work.

One was the white-haired legendary student council president and the other one was the vice president that though seemed pretty well, had a needle attached to her free right hand which was attached to a flask hanging by the stool by her side.

A strange glowing green liquid was inside this container and it was being supplied into her bloodstream by a thin pipe.

It was a strange sight but she was calmly doing her work, handling the papers with her other hand, more focused on her work than the president sitting before her on the other hand.

The atmosphere was calm there, the room was filled with the scrabbling voices of two pens, and a cool breeze flowing from the large window behind him was ventilating the room.

And though there were clouds visible just outside the window, there was good enough oxygen for the two of them to work finely at that high altitude.

And the room was also well illuminated by the light coming from the outside so their work was going well… or not.

-Thump!

All of a sudden in the middle of her scrabbling, she slammed her pen on the table, took a deep breath, and looked at the president before her with a somewhat angry gaze.

"Look Zod. You know I don\'t say this…"

"Yes, I know and you don\'t have to. I did what I had to and you will pay me back many folds more for what I did so you don\'t have to do it."

"Still, this strange sticky feeling of guilt is killing me from inside and I don\'t like it."

"Haaa… that I can see. Alright then. It\'s all up to you. Do as you please."

And after saying that, he also put his pen down and looked before him, at the pretty but serious vice president.

She closed her eyes after that, clenched her hand tightly to calm herself down, took a deep breath, and as she did all these preparations, the president looked at her with a helpless look and also sighed.

Those grand mental preparations of hers were something unique to her, and so was what she was preparing herself for.

-Ptssssss…

He moved his neck lightly in a curve after that low voice was heard in this tranquil room. And after he did that, he shook his head which was followed by another helpless nod.

It was just the day before yesterday but he could see it happening before his eyes as if he was in that very moment when the vice president, who was preparing herself comfortably on the chair next to him, suddenly screamed so loud that all the guards and employees on their airship were alerted.

But even before they came, he was faced with some of the most urgent situations in his life where his fellow vice president, the friend that he knew for more than three years now, was kneeling on the ground, screaming as if she had been suddenly hurt… no it was worse than that.

There was no scar or blood or visible injury on her but, thanks to his partner, he could tell that something had happened to her very soul.

And this was one of the most critical situations he had faced in his entire life as according to what his partner told him, she could have been thrown into a critical coma if she wasn\'t treated immediately.

She was screaming at that time, screaming so loud that even he hadn\'t heard something like that in his nearly hundred years of life…

She was and had been a crucial member of the student council, and she was some of his few real friends so he knew her more than enough to know some of her close secrets that probably no one else knew about.

He knew her family background and her unique lineage and also that she can separate her soul from her body like his partner and go into the astral realm and stay there for a pretty long time.

And though he himself can not do that just yet, he knew about the realms more than her so he knew about the dark creatures that lived there and the dangers of the realm that acted as a gateway to the other realms.

He knew many things could happen there but never in his life had he thought being affected by something over there could cause so great pain that someone like her, someone that had stayed calm and sharp even when an unexpectedly evolved energy beast cut off one of her arms and legs, could be in such bad pain that she would scream her heart and soul out.

He had felt as if he was seeing someone that thought they were dead but wasn\'t actually dead and only possessed the sensation of being dead, aka the worst possible sensation a mortal could feel.

She had suffered great damage to her soul, ultimately suffering even greater psychological damage. And if he had just stood there, she would have…

She was his friend and a great colleague that he couldn\'t do anything without in this academy, so he had to do something. And he knew what he had to do.

She had taken direct damage to her soul and this damage was unbearably great too.

Not just any medicine, magic, or potion was going to help her. He knew that not even a high-quality elixir would be of much help in matters regarding the soul.

So, there was only one option, and he used that one option, and thankfully, she was able to at least stabilize after that.

She wasn\'t completely healed but he was able to prevent the worst-case scenario. 

And then the guards came, and then the vice headmaster came, and then she told the two of them what had happened, and then they both scolded her for her usual unusual behavior.

She was hurt and she could have been badly hurt and, though it was her fault entirely… just to think that she was hurt that badly just because she tried kissing someone\'s fiancee?

He was interested in the \'two of them\' for a long time now but after that incident, he couldn\'t stop thinking about them, and mostly about the one that caused this ocean-like sturdy person to scream with that horrible kind of agony.

He had never been more impressed in his long life and was already dying to meet the amazing boy that even the crazy headmaster praised openly. And he was soon going to meet him. Today was that golden day.

But this moment right now… he would never show it but at this moment as this tormenting friend of his was preparing herself for the most difficult thing possible for her, he was thanking the one that blessed him with this heaven-defying experience that was definitely worth it even at the cost of his divine elixir.

"Haaaa…"

She took a deep breath, looked into the calm hazel eyes of the bastard that she knew was thinking something weird, nodded at herself as if telling her own soul that she was ready now, clenched her hands so tightly that the blood flow almost stopped for them, cleared her throat three times, caressed her pretty neck genially, closed her eyes, looked down for a moment, and with a deep release of her long-held breath, she said two simple words that she had never uttered for the last three years.

"Thank you."

"Gratefully and sincerely accepted."

"Ex-"

"Just go."

He waved his hand with a calm smile on his face and she looked at him, at his calm smile, at the calm face that was definitely smirking, laughing, shouting, and thanking all the factors that showed him this day, gave him an angry glare, and she was almost going to punch him in the face but she controlled herself, stood up and just walked out of the room.

Her destination was her personal room where she would first wash her mouth a few ten times, take a bath, and then eat the best food she liked with the best alcohol she had to forget this utterly bitter feeling of saying that most unwanted thing.

She was going to take a few hours and wasn\'t coming back anytime soon so he was alone in this room now… but that wasn\'t enough.

-Snap.

He first covered the entire room in a thin layer of internal energy and then costed it with Aura.

Then he called out his partner, a pretty-looking adorable snake, and without any words from him, the little one cast twenty-one layers of different magic on this entire room and further put a few magic shields around the table they were sitting on.

And only after all these preparations…

"Hhahahahahahahahahahaha! San-San! She said thanks! Hahahahahaha! Lol! Did you record that right~? It will be one of our family heirlooms! Hahahahahahaha!"

He was laughing out loud, laughing loudly while holding his belly, and laughing while rolling on the ground.

His little partner who looked down at him from the desk also laughed with his smiling face, and just while they were laughing like that…

-Boooooooooooooooooom!

An explosion took place from six sides of the room and it happened out of nowhere, and... they were so powerful that they clearly destroyed two shields that the little one put around them and almost destroyed the third one too.

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

However, the entire room was fine as the explosions couldn\'t pierce through the layer of the aura and internal energy but, three carpets in the room were on fire, and even when all this happened, the president that was rolling on the ground, was still rolling on the ground while laughing so joyfully that most of the students in the academy right now wouldn\'t believe this person is the same calm and collective president that gave that amazing speech just the previous day.

"Hehehe-hahaha!"

He was laughing, and he clearly had a grand reason to laugh to his heart\'s content today.

Something unbelievable had happened, so he was enjoying this moment.

And his partner, the unique snake on the table that looked adorable~ when smiling also liked him seeing happy like that so, it quickly looked around the room, put out the fire with some water magic, cleaned the room, and brought it back to its previous state, and continued laughing with his papa.

And it looked even more adorable~!

It was cute, absolutely heartwarming, and as the president was laughing on the floor of his office, one of the reasons he was able to laugh like that, was facing the teacher of his second class, looking at her alone with surprised eyes while the entire class was salient yet once again, but this time, the reason for that silence wasn\'t him... but his fiancée that was boldly kissing him before the entire class.
