Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 844: First morning of training

[Eon's POV: ]

Yesterday was our first day together and on this fine morning, we were finally starting the actual work.

"Tell me about your skills."

"The skills that I have or including my Origin skills."

"Tell me everything you can, let's brainstorm a few things."

"You do realise that isn't going to be that useful, right?"

We were back to the garden that we had been to yesterday, but instead of the edge of the island, we were standing in the middle of the fruit forest, eating some fresh fruits directly picked from the trees.

"Well, I don't doubt your analysis abilities. But my experience might still be somewhat useful, right?"

He was my mentor and I still haven't figured out how he was going to teach me.

"Hmmm…"

But, well, since we are talking about being able to create a new archery technique from scratch, his experience might certainly be of some help.

"Well, sure."

I went ahead and told him about the skills I possessed along with the Origin skills and how I used them usually.

"So, you still couldn't use your main Origin skill?"

"Nope."

And though the skills that I had surprised him, the fact that I still could not use my main Origin skill surprised him even more.

"That's… well, nothing we can do about it. It seems to be a natural Confinement."

"Natural… what?"

He definitely said something, but I didn't hear it. Which means I could not hear it, which again means I am not permitted to hear that simple sounding thing despite my many authorities.

"Oh? You didn't hear that? Seems like nature really is the one blocking your skill."

He smirked while taking another bite of his fruit and then, after finishing the last bit of it, he jumped down from the tree where we had been sitting on, and finding an appropriate spot, he buried the seeds of the fruit in the ground.

"Alright. That much should be enough. Let's go somewhere else."

Jumping down from the tall tree branch, I followed behind him as well and then, we climbed up another tree.

"I'm a pure archer so besides the general skills, bow-arrow techniques, and aura applications, I don't know much about your special skills."

This time, we weren't eating anything but instead, there was a nest of birds on this tree and he was observing the bird mother feeding her children.

"Though, what I can come up with just this is limited.

Tell me what you have thought up until now."

"What I've thought up? Teacher that…"

I had Lucy and my memory was unique so there were a lot of things that I've already thought about and scratched off as something impossible, something dumb, and something that wouldn't work.

"What's up? We have a lot of time on our hands. Your classes aren't going to start anytime soon anyway, right?"

The sun was just starting to rise on the horizon so this was too early in the morning. And as he said, there were still a few hours left before the classes started. But still, there were not many things that I could tell him in this limited time.

"Teacher, well, you're right about having a lot of time today, but, it's still not going to be easy.

I already have a hundred and eleven possible techniques on my mind, but it's not going to be easy to learn and actualise those things.

There are a lot more that I've discarded so including them, it will take a week just to tell you all of them."

Techniques were different from skills but at the same time, something much more or just as effective as the skills that one acquired from the energy beasts of nature.

A person that had reached a certain level of mastery in their art created these techniques with the things that they had learned throughout their lives, or they learn the existing techniques from someone who completely understands them.

It is not possible to just acquire these techniques from the books or anything since even though some might be recorded in the books, they are not the same as things as actually learning them.

'Even in the east where techniques are more prominent than the skills or the weapon Arts of the west, the students have to have a master that teaches them, looks after them and their progress with the techniques, and watches over them through the entire time they are learning these techniques.'

There are various schools of techniques in the east, there are many schools of Weapon arts in the north as well, while here in the east, people are more familiar with the skills and magic then the pure weapon techniques.

"A week?" He was looking the other way so I could not see his face or what kind of face he was making at the moment, but I can tell he was still as calm as he had been since earlier.

"Well, that's not as long as I thought."

But then he looked back at me with a little bird in his hands, a happy smile present on his face.

"We have a few months together, and knowing your potential, I know you won't really need more than a month to master a technique so, if we can figure out what techniques you are going to be practising for the following few months, it shouldn't be difficult to completely master a few of the techniques on your mind."

He was happy and it seemed like the bird mother also did not mind that he was holding her baby.

On the other hand, it seemed like she was happy that he was holding the little baby with small feathers and cute round eyes.

"Additionally, I'm going to teach you a few things myself, so there shouldn't be any problems with the new technique creations."

He urged me to hold the little chick as well, and though I couldn't understand why we were doing something like this instead of actually training as we should've been at the moment, I still held the little bird.

And then, I realised the young bird was not exactly in its perfect state.

"It has three legs?"

"Mutation, as you call it? Well, us folks of nature call it a Mistake of the Creation."

"Hmmm? But-."

"Don't misunderstand the mistake of Creation or with the mistake of the Creator.

I know the notion of the Creator Mother Nature being a perfect being that could not make any mistakes is famous in the population, however I do not believe that.

Anomalies such as yourself exist, and that is proof enough that even the most perfect of the beings could, certainly, make a mistake."

He was an elf and their kind reguarded the great Mother Nature as everything.

'They not only reguarded THEM a creator, destructor, and preserver, they also went as far as saying everything about Nature itself, and that nature is the only real entity.'

They were monotheistic people that neither believed in dualism like the demons, in Henotheism like the angels, or in Polytheism like the humans.

He himself was a firm believer of their ideologies even though he accepted the various other point of views of their beings and cultures.

He did not impose his beliefs on the others, and just like right now, he enlightened others of their misconceptions about the world that we live in.

"Creation is a process that deviates from the predetermined rules sometimes under the influence of various laws, flows, and environmental factors.

And when that happens, Those maddened by the corruption, those who have lost their identity, as well as poor ones like this one are born."

This little bird must have been in constant pain as the extra leg was almost piercing his other leg.

It was stopping his growth and if that had continued like that, this little one might not have survived for long— like the many mutant creatures that just end up dying before even reaching halfway to their final lifespans.

These creatures were not that rare, but they certainly were uncommon beings so people don't pat that much attention to them.

"You cut the nerves connecting the leg."

"I cannot cut the entire leg, it will be painful for the little one.

However, this should at least relieve the pain for a few years and boost his growth.

After a few weeks when it's recovered a little, we shall relieve it of this extra limb."

I don't understand if there was any reason behind why he was doing this or why he was telling all these things to me.

We were here for training and our time was still limited, but we were caring about a little bird…

"I'll help as well."

"Of course you will. The 'we' I used referred to the two of us."

I don't know how he found this little one or why he helped it, but, he did it, and it was a nice thing to do.

"Alright."

Taking the little fellow from my hands and gently placing it back to its nest beside its mom, we said our goodbyes to the little bird family and jumped down from the tree.

And, moved on to the new tree that… contained a beehive.

"You're acquainted with the Queen, right? Do you have her proof?"

"Proof of the Queen? Well, we do see her now and then but… there's nothing that-."

"You don't know much about the Queen of these bees either, hun?"

"Hmmm?"

The blue honeybees that were unique to the academy were unexpectedly present here as well, and, from the looks of it, the nest that they had on this tree was directly connected with the nest present in the academy garden.

"Well, if you have met the Queen more than a few times, it means you already have her favour and you don't need anything like a proof of connection with the (Ruler of the blue moonlight)."

It seems like our next destination will be the nest of the blue honey bees. Stay connected with m-v l|e'-NovelBin.net

And…

'From the look this 'teacher' of mine has on his face, it doesn't seem like he is up to any good.'

He's definitely cooking something up.

And whatever it might be, it's definitely no good.
