Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

"Yeah… too open, perhaps."

One of my eyes was covered in bandages and ointment, while my hand was wrapped in leaves as well as more bandages.

"Hahaha, seeing that was quite fun for us~."

[{ Master wasn\'t defeated! Master lost purposefully! }]

[{ Yes yes little kid. I know that already. }]

After she told her about the teleportation spell on the envelope, Rein got angry and I had only thought she would curse at me and nothing more, but, things escalated quickly after I tried to apologise to her.

She first punched me in the eye and bruised it, then she threw me on the ground without flowers, and caked me… with half her strength, which almost broke my arm.

\'I don\'t have a healing skill anymore so it\'s not going to heal on its own but, since it\'s only a little injury, it shouldn\'t take it long to recover.\'

I had taken the potion and the look she had now seemed to be much more cheerful than before so, this wasn\'t too bad.

She didn\'t curse at me or cause a commotion on how I tricked her or kept things from her so at the very least, the way she was quietly drinking her tea was pretty good.

"Anyway, Miss… I still don\'t know what we should call you."

"Right. I haven\'t introduced myself yet, have I? How silly of me."

She had used an alias in the competition and we never got to know her true name so, technically, the introductions were still pending even though we had finished half of our tea.

"Ahem."

She faked a cough, stood up from her place, bowed to us gracefully and in a charming but strong voice, she spoke up…

"I\'m Walirushad Joan Aswang Nitika, a demon born and the child of a Saint recorded nowhere in history.

Successor of Nitika, the old fallen family of weapon arts that people of this world will never know about, legitimate successor of a demonic Marquis, propagator of the twelfth holy art, owner of the Fan Armament, family of a little Eternity, and a master of Divinity.

However, you can call me Wali~."

"…"

That\'s an introduction?

"Ummm… why didn\'t I hear half the things you said, Miss Wali? It seemed like only your lips were moving…"

"What…?"

She didn\'t hear those absurd things?

How is that possible though?

"Well, you see dear, you don\'t have the qualifications to hear or know those things."

She smiled warmly at Rein as she sat down and right after seeing the sudden anger on her face, she shook her head.

"Don\'t misunderstand Miss Reinelle. There are many complicated things in this world that are beyond just the battlefield or an incomprehensible flow of time.

There are restrictions on those who possess something the common elements of this world should not know about, some of the things I mentioned are just an example of that.

Knowing it will only harm you so, I suggest until you receive the qualifications to know that, you should avoid them."

She paused and took a sip of her herbal tea before continuing.

"You already possess a unique qualification that your partner does not.

He won\'t hear if I talk about anything related to ••• or •••. It\'s a natural process and rules that even the highest powers of this world follow.

We are all bound by it."

It wasn\'t my first time experiencing it, but, after master, this was certainly the first time I was restricted from knowing something.

[{ *Master-* }]

\'I know you know what she said, Lucy. But I don\'t need to know it yet.\'

[{ *Yes master.* }]

I knew about a lot of things already since my master had taught me that way. From the very basic to the highest level one needed to reach to continue learning on their own.

I knew not one but six truths of nature, and in addition to that, I was her successor.

I already had many titles, some unique to my own, so there were a lot of things that weren\'t restricted to me.

\'But knowing the grand scale of this nature, I know for sure what I can know about is still not even a tenth of what is available in this world.\'

I can\'t see boundaries like she does or the world that lies beyond the fabric of the universe.

She possessed eyes that can see the true nature of things while even though my eyes could analyse things unlike anything else, they couldn\'t see the truth of anything themselves.

\'And Rein had even gotten that new title a while back because of my damned card skill.\'

She was allowed to know some of the things that I did not, while I knew many things that she could not.

And since I had Lucy, who practically possessed all the knowledge my master did and perhaps more, she wasn\'t bound by the common restraints.

"Well, that\'s all for my introduction and I know a good lot about you two already so we can skip your introductions for now.

The weather is nice today so instead of wasting time and beating around the bushes, how about we talk about some actual interesting things.

Like the person you fought against a few days back and what they were actually after?"

"…?!"

"How do you know about that?!"

She was a demon born as we knew already but she was not a bad person and I was only here to confirm if she was the one that helped Ball when he entered the

Shadow realm.

There were things that we could have talked about outside of that, like her unique way of creating the things in the competition or how she even attached a teleportation spell on a piece of paper.

But… I was not expecting her to directly reveal that she was from some weapon handler family, or that her father was a Saint, as in someone that had reached the level of a Saint in origin Arts, or that her mother was a demon marquis.

She said she possessed a Soul Armament, had mastered divinity, was master of an Eternity, and if that wasn\'t enough, she was claiming to be the one that had propagated the twelfth holy art, or in other words, the art we now know as (Weapon dances).

To calm herself to be the one that initiated weapon dances she would first have to be at least ten thousand years old, and after that, she would have to be as proficient in the weapon as our vice headmaster was right now.

\'Her claims were ridiculous already, but those things on one side, the way she was smiling at us right now…\'

She brought up the subject of the person that stole that unrecorded thing from our auction herself, and she was smiling as if she knew something about him.

"How much can you tell us about that person?"

"Ah, I like that straight face. Huhuhu."

Rein was confused why I was trusting her words since she did not know about the things she had introduced herself as.

Her name Wali was not the only thing she had said about herself, she was a much more special person than even the headmaster if all that she said was true… which it most probably was.

"Alright, should I tell you about [Kreatzaq] first? Oh, since both of you can at least know about divinity, how would you like to know different sources of it~?

Do you know how one obtains divinity and how it\'s used~?"

She was starting with an unexpected topic but it wasn\'t unrelated to this conversation.

The Black Angel had used a divine skill at the end, a skill not just anyone could use even with unfathomable strength.

It was unique and only allowed to a few people… but I have never really known how the skills are used or how divinity itself actually works.

Master didn\'t teach me that specifically since it\'s not something one could learn in the first place.

Divinity is a unique power, an authority on par with the World authorities or perhaps even beyond that.

It\'s a special power that one can only learn the use of on their own, and it varies from one being to another.

"Alright then.

I believe you already know what divinity is, but putting it in simpler terms, it\'s a power of the world, or the energy of highest grade. The power to do anything one cannot with simple magic or skills.

It\'s a power that higher beings as we call them, or those ascended souls that have achieved enough \'achievements\' and \'enlightenments\' in the physical mortal world naturally master.

However they aren\'t the only ones who could use and lend someone else their own divinity."

She looked excited however, for some reason, I could feel a little concern present deep within her eyes… or not. Perhaps I was mistaken.

"Those who understand the true nature of any one element of nature, be it an artistic field or a special field, if they achieve a complete understanding of it, all its aspects and everything there is to know about it at least in their own perspective, they are granted the authority of Divinity.

That\'s how most swordsmen, or artists unrelated to any weapons or magic, or mages working in a specific field achieve divinity.

Though, if a being manages to know even a single thing about all elements present in this world through whatever means, they are granted the authority of Dignity.

The ones we call Saints, or the Transcendents, or the Monks that no one ever knows about, those who live a solitary life away from all other lives, achieve divinity this way.

There are a few special objects in this world, and being chosen by these objects grants one the opportunity to gain Divinity.

Getting stigmatised by a divine being grants one their divinity as well as the chance to gain their own going forward- ah… looks like I ended up speaking a little too fast."

We knew some of the things that she was saying but, when she said those things in that tone and with those calm expressions, even though the speed at which she was saying things was fast, they were clear to us.

That wasn\'t what had stolen away our speech.

"Um… miss Wali, what\'s… that?"

It wasn\'t there a moment ago, but it was certainly there now.

It had appeared out of nowhere and appeared to have been present there since the beginning.

\'And that confused both of us even more…\'

That thing… it was unbelievable.
