Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

"And then… he died." She looked down with another bitter smile, and shook her head, quickly washing away her useless sadness.

"So!" And then she shouted, just like I knew she would.

"Yes, yes. We will go and ask Sir Quesnel. And I do believe there is a chance that your amazing-sounding Bob is still alive since he obtained an origin.

But I suggest you don\'t get your hopes up just yet. I don\'t think he will allow a creature with that much power to exist just like that. "

We stood before our classroom as I said that and she looked at me with a surprised expression.

"So there\'s still a possibility right~?! And since you said it like that, there\'s something even more to this than I know, right~!?"

Her voice was loud so again, other students were looking at us. And this time, even our teacher was looking at us from inside the class with a displeased look.

\'Thankfully we aren\'t late or else he would have already kicked us out.\'

"Alright, slow down. We are here so go get your lab coat and meet me at table No. fifteen."

With another surprised look, she realized something and came back to her senses, and looked around her, especially inside the classroom.

A humanoid figure with hands of gold and silver colors, a tall build, and eyes without any pupils was looking at us from the canter of the classroom, and as he looked at us, there was a frown of displeasure on his not-so-attractive face.

"Ohh… I didn\'t realize we were already here. Apologies, teacher."

She bowed down respectfully, accepting her mistake and the teacher in the center of the giant room shook his head with the same expression and signaled us to come inside and not block the door for the other students.

And after I bowed with her, we entered the giant classroom bigger than our homerooms filled with unique equipment, shelves full of materials and ingredients, and countless colorless and colorful bottles of unique fluids.

[[ "He\'s the homunculus teacher you were praising…? What\'s with that dangerous aura and terrifying stats, man?" ]]

Rein was surprised right now, and anyone would obviously be surprised to see a being like our alchemy teacher.

[[ "He\'s one of the only few of his kind on this planet so it\'s natural you would feel that much overwhelmed. But he\'s a nice person so don\'t worry about him. You will get it soon." ]]

She walked on the other side of the class while I looked around the giant lab and our teacher was looking at the two of us with a better look than before. And it was hidden, but I knew he was also surprised at not being able to see either of our screens.

\'It\'s going to be fun learning from him…\'

I was smiling right now, and Rein would know this smile wasn\'t something I had when I was happy about a class but when I had ulterior motives.

Anyway, there was still a little time left before our class starts so we quickly grabbed the special lab coats from the designated sides of the classroom and met on the fifteenth experiment table.

But there was a little problem here…

"I think this place was occupied," I mumbled as soon as I saw the pyramid-shaped storage device on our table, and just then, a familiar person approached us.

"Oh. Excuse me-"

And she was surprised to see someone on her reserved desk too, but she stopped midway and looked at us with a surprised look.

"Vice-captain? So you really are taking this class…?" she said with a playful grin and got closer to the two of us, looking at the two us with a unique smile on her attractive face.

\'The alchemist of silver. The dark elf known throughout the nations for her prowess and talent… Miss Mia Knives.\'

She wasn\'t a young adult like most of the students here but an adult, grown-up lady with a greyish skin tone, silver-grey hair, light yellow eyes, a very attractive physique, facial features, and clothing.

She was a dark elf by race but her characteristics were a little unique from the usual dark elves. Still, she was pretty as heaven and had long ears-

[[ "Star at her a microsecond more and you will get a punch right on your kidney." ]]

…

[[ "Yes ma\'am." ]]

"Yes, Miss Mia. It is our pleasure to make your acquaintance-"

"What do you mean acquaintances vice captain~? If anything, we are comrades and it is my pleasure to meet a well-known person like you."

She was smiling… she was smiling?

"Well known? I don\'t think I\'m the well-known person here, Miss. The world knows about the creator of Aswagid and Secondary elixirs more than a new house captain, Miss Mia."

She was famous, definitely as much as me. And by me, I meant Axion, the publisher of a world-famous novel, creator of some revolutionary artifacts, and the one that owned a world-leading food brand.

She was that much famous, so calling a little-known person like Lucifer \'famous\' was only a joke.

"Oh come on~ vice-captain. You are quite famous you know? Everyone talks about how you two-"

"Hello, Miss Mia." Rein cut her mid-sentence and smiled at the pretty.

[[ "You are getting punishment today." ]] 

[[ "I didn\'t do anything-!" ]]

[[ "Tell it to your soft eyes." ]]

[[ "Rein?!" ]]

I was innocent here! I wasn\'t even doing anything like the other males in the class but even admiration of art was inappropriate now?!

\'And I was only looking at her familiar mark too! Not even at anything else! What the hell?\'

"I\'m Uriel. His fiancée-"

"Of course, you are his fiancée dear. I have heard and seen quite a lot about you two in the last two days.

You are a fascinating couple, and I\'m not trying to do anything funny here~."

She had a happy smile on her face as if she found Uriel\'s reaction funnier than mine that wasn\'t attracted towards a pretty person like her.

But her happy answer wasn\'t quite acceptable to my dear witch.

"Hump! I know you are trying something but I\'m not falling for that smile so you better keep your vines and these little creatures to yourself."

She hugged my hand in a cute attempt to tell her I belonged to her.

\'She doesn\'t have to show this obvious thing but it\'s always cute seeing her like that. Hehe.\'

But the lady before us immediately had a surprised look when Rein mentioned the little creatures.

"You can see them?" She asked, her surprised face making many people including our cute Med on the seat beside us skip a beat.

"Hump! They are big enough to be visible so of course I can see them. And they are hindering me for some reason anyway. Please put them back. Especially that vine that wants to touch my darling. 

I will have to hurt it if it\'s too close."

But Rein was the same as before as she moved her face to the other side with an adorable angry look and answered the person before her.

And however surprised, she could see that the alive fungus of her familiar was actually attracted to her too much.

So, she looked at the thin green vine wrapped around her neck and her left hand, and it vanished inside the unique plant-like marks on her neck.

"Apologies from their side. Looks like she likes you so much she can\'t help but get close to you, hehe."

She laughed and flowers bloomed at her laughter. Well, real flowers. But there were only a few so it was alright. The students can fight over who will get it after the class was over.

"That aside, you two are using this place so let me take the one beside you."

She looked at the table beside us and Med blushed herder when her eyes met Mia\'s.

"She is mine too!" But Rein hugged one of her hands too, making her the little Med forget what was even going on.

"Hahaha~. You can have her too dear. But at least let me use this place. How am I gonna do the test if you do this?"

She laughed again, and this time, it was even more cheerful than before, so the new flowers that bloomed afterwords were even livelier.

However, her simple words surprised Rein and Med.

"Test? What test?" She instantly looked at me with surprised eyes and I shook my head helplessly at the two strange girls that didn\'t even notice the only words written on the giant blackboard.

"Look." I pointed at the front, at the giant blackboard behind our teacher, and they followed the direction of my finger.

"Prepare the best healing potion you can or as many Mana potions you can in the given time after the class starts?" Rein repeated the first line with an astonished expression and then Med mumbled after her.

"Good works will be rewarded accordingly? What does that mean? Will the teacher give class points if we do well?"

Her question was genuine but if she had researched more about this teacher of ours, she would have known he gives far more than class points when it comes to rewarding exceptional work. 

He was a unique being and pleasing him was no easy task so every test with a reward from him was always a great opportunity for every student in his class.

And this first class was our first opportunity to get something actually valuable from an original Giant like him so as I said, this was going to be a fun class.

"See? There\'s a test. Can I pretty please use this place? I promise I won\'t steal your two darlings~."

She smiled again, but this one was a genuine smile so, after examining her with narrow eyes for a few seconds, Rein nodded lightly, and released the two of our hands.

But as soon as she did that, she looked at Mia and spoke up in a confident tone.

"Let\'s see who gets a higher score on this test Miss pretty lady Mia. And you too darling."

There was a smile on her face now… a competitive smile she only has when she really means what she says.

\'And the simplest meaning of this certain smile, is uncertain scenarios.\'

Something was going to happen in this alchemy class, and I was already dragged right in the middle of everything.
