Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 691 Some stories from them

[Eon's POV: ]

[[ "You are forbidden from doing anything reckless, big brother. And we are going straight home after everything is over here tomorrow." ]]

[[ "Of course, Zoe. I promise that we all will be alright and we will definitely go back once everything is done here. 

Besides, it's not that big of a deal. We are only going to fight a little war along with people that can single-handedly overtake a fort. 

There's nothing to be worried about that much." ]]

I said that, but both of us knew it was a lie.

[[ "I will believe in you this time then…" ]]

But she still accepted my half-true words. Though not without any conditions of course.

[[ "However, if I think anything is going to happen to the four of you, I will step in personally. And, you cannot stop me then." ]]

[[ "I would appreciate that." ]]

However, I will make sure that moment doesn't arrive. 

We, will make sure of it. 

'The current Zoe was almost as powerful as the emperor and the absolute powers of the three continents, perhaps a little more considering her pure origin and the fact that she had opened three of her innate blockages before her first awakening.'

She was a genius that surpassed what master might have thought her to be, and, not only that, she was very good at adapting, learning, and becoming part of her surroundings.

She was extremely talented when it came to artifact creation, so much so that the grandmaster teacher that teaches their class, for the first time in his profession of two hundred years, took her to an event as a special student assistant.

Others were obviously surprised by this fact, but, those who had seen her during her work time wouldn't even need a few minutes to understand why he chose her of all students for that spot.

She was just good when it came to any kind of creation. 

And, of course, when it came to combat or magic, she wouldn't even need a few hours to surpass us who had dedicated years of hard work on our paths.

'She already possessed the knowledge of the divine magic her mother had passed down to us… so, she could destroy the entire forces of all the demonic humans that we were going to fight on different battlefields all by herself.'

She was capable of doing that, however, 'we' aren't yet strong enough to deal with the consequences that would come after revealing her powers to this envious world.

"Oh, mister Axion. Can you tell us more about yourself? I don't know much about either of you since I am from a faraway place… ohhh! It's fine if it is too much of a request!" Quin asked the two of us when we all had just sat down on the dinner table for the 'actual' dinner.

The students had enjoyed my welcome snacks and were shocked how what they were eating all that time wasn't the actual dinner but only some refreshments, however, now that we were actually on the dinner tables and were eating our meals along with them, this certainly felt different from how we usually eat in the garden.

"Not at all miss Quinn. Tell us what you want to know about ourselves."

They were enjoying the dinner, the atmosphere was pretty good and cheerful as well, however, among all the questions and greetings we had received after coming here, this was the first personal question that could probably have a unique answer to it.

And, since the one asking it one of their captains that was sitting with us on our dining table, the attention of the students was shifted to us in an instant.

"Ummm, nothing too specific actually. I just want to know more about you two. 

I have heard some things about you two, and most of them seem like exaggerated things, but since I don't know you two personally, or about your relationship, I can't really say what kind of person you really are.

However, truth be told, you two seem very familiar to me. Almost as if we alredy know each other for some strange reason."

She was our first friend in the academy, and Rein certainly cherished it quite a lot. 

She was alredy sitting almost beside her as well, so, when she finished her question, she gave her a sweet smile put her spoon down in her usual elegant manner.

"Miss Quin, you are a fun person, you know?"

She looked right in her eyes while asking that and the way she asked that, that tone and all that, made many of the students present here blush with surprise.

"Y-yes, Lady Reinelle. My friend, Uriel, also says that sometimes as well. However, I don't know why she says that. Same as I don't know why you are saying that right now."

Quin was a very unique individual, undoubtedly.

And it wasn't only because of how she was brought up or how she had lived her entire life, it was also mostly because of how she was perceives the situations and responds to them.

'She might not understand just how special her ability to innocently is, but the others in this room knew that very well.'

So, Rein just made her realise it for the first time.

"Haha, Quin, oh miss innocent Quin. Look around yourself. Why do you think your fellow students have this unique kind of refraction to your question?"

She didn't understand what Rein was saying at first, however, when Quin looked around, she saw that people were looking at her with a perplexed look.

And, she had seen this look occasionally during our school time, so, she was familiar with it alredy.

"They are surprised at my questions because they are too simple questions that everyone knows the answers of? Actually, I don;t know. 

I don't understand why they make this kind of expression whenever I ask simple qiuestions. 

I know I am dumb and have little knowledge about everything than the other people, perhaps my understanding of concepts and stereotypes is little as well, but, it is what it is.

I don't know and I don't understand, so, I ask those who do. Sometimes I get the answer that is good enough, sometimes I don't. 

And when I don't I ask other people or try to find it myself."

"And that, Miss amazing Quin, is your superpower."

Asking questions that have obvious answers, or questions that one thinks they knows the answer of , or the questions that they know they won't get the answer of from the person they are asking… it was no easy task.

It required insurmountable courage, or curiosity to simply ask a question. 

'Quin has that unique curiosity to learn, and the talents to back that curiosity. That's why she learns faster than the others. And, her near to no knowledge of the common things makes the courage part meaningless since she doesn't even know a thing about what she asks.'

She is like a blank paper that one can easily write on with their good handwriting. Different from the other students who already have filled their papers with different handwritings and not-so-attractive notes.

"Cherish that superpower, and don't ever fear to ask questions the way you do.

You will get the answers to them sometimes, like today, and sometimes you won't. However, just because you don't get the answer to a question, doesn't mean there is no answer.

Good or bad, if there is a question. There is an answer to that as well.

Just like right now, miss Quin.

Haaaa… you want to know about us, and there is a fun way to tell you what kind of people we are."

Rein was thinking about a storytelling session, I can read that in her sparkling eyes.

She loved telling others our stories, stories that few knew about and were mostly just floating rumours that no one believes.

And, it's actually a fun thing as well so we enjoy it occasionally.

"So miss Quin, you must have heard that the two of us were already very close before our engagement. However, do you know the first time we met I was in a forest, searching for a certain herb?"

She started telling them about our first meeting, how there was a misunderstanding between us at first and how I helped her afterwords. 

She told them how we got to her house, and also how it was the very day I had come back from 'that place' after so many years.

She told them how we fell for each other, and I added my side of the stories when it was needed. 

We didn't go into too much details to make the story boring so, what was left almost seemed like a fantastical story from the novels to the students present here.

They were surprised with each of the things we told them, and, as time passed, they got too invested in the stories that they also forgot to eat their food.

It was interesting hearing about how the two people they all had looked up to directly from them. And, for us, it was fun showing them this side of us.

They already knew us as the vice captain of Wisdom Phoenix nd captain of Dark Society, and they thought they had known about the Reinelle and Axion as well, however, the stories that started from a simple question from our innocent friend, lead to this amazing adventure of words and narrations that forced them to stop eating their dinner.

This time was fun… they liked the stories. Even Alf and Chry who knew these things already had fun listening to them once again.

And, though they knew if we were doing this, there was definitely something going on that they cannot know, they accepted it this time since even President Zodiac and vice president were involved in this.

They knew this was something related to school and the competition, so, they couldn't get involved with this even if they wanted to.

'They are smart, as always.'

And besides, we will need some people here if anything unexpected happens. 

They were good at what they did, and Chry was especially improving faster than I had expected so, he was pretty much capable of dealing with a demonic human of their level on his own.

They can take care of everything here, and, they also had Quin and others so, even though Carla isn't here, they can do pretty well on their own.

'It is night already, so, we will be starting now…'

The students and teachers will stay in our mension today, and, as a strategic meeting point. We had selected the estate of Atraxia that was pretty close to the tavern/factory of the golem.

Everyone involved were given very specific instructions and it was obvious they weren't going to follow them as closely as instructed, however, I had given the instructions while considering just that.

They were all people with strong Egos and personal beliefs, so I had to take many factors into account while telling them what they should do while maintaining their positions until further instructions were given during fights.

'It's certainly not going to be easy…'

But, we can do it.

If we just know their objective from one of the stronghold captains, we can prevent any great losses from happening today.

It was possible.

'Absurdly difficult, but possible.'
