Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 450 Recalling Past

Sitting in the garden of Heliox estate, a young adult boy with golden blond hair and sharp red eyes was sitting on a chair, drinking tea with a gorgeous lady with blond hair and light brown eyes.

She was gorgeous and the boy resembling her, our cool grown-up Eon, was also a charming person that the maids, butlers, and even the birds flying around the place can't help but glance at.

"Did you check the invitations?" Nolen asked as she gracefully took a sip from her cup.

There was no sign of flowing time in her appearance, even though three years had passed.

"Yes. Everything is fine, but tell them to remove the invitation to count Balanora. I don't like that person. Also, write invitations to baron Cava, baron Gram, and viscount Quim. They are better people than those pretentious, humble people."

Eon. He was taller, more mature, and a lot different from what he was in the past.

He was grown up, physically and mentally.

His grown body was far stronger than in the past and under those fine noble clothes, there was a physique so perfect, and aspects so solid that even the older knights would envy him.

But that was just the gist of it.

He was still only a [Rank-3] knight, but his Mana nucleus had reached (tier-4) a while back.

His magic was stronger after learning new things from Lucy, his special skill, and going through the things his master had taught him.

He was better than most people, far older than his age, but the more special thing about him was his greater Solnova.

He had broken through the second blockage, the so-called blockage of spirituality.

It was another great achievement for a young one like him… or young adult would be a better word.

Well, there sure were problems like the destruction of a third of the garden area back then and then scolding from his dear aunt Haze, but it was fine now.

Things were better and as the mother-son duo enjoyed their tea, there were things going on all around them.

"Is the hall ready?"

"It's done, food too. Check the gates and garden. Also, send someone to check the windows."

"Sir! There's a problem in the backyard!"

"Alright. All fine. Finish these things and inform madam Ruka."

"Oyyy! Not there! I said left. On the left!"

"Hmm~. So baby. How's Elle doing?"

Nolen had an excited smile on her face as she looked at him and he nodded while putting down his special tea cup.

"Still upset. But I think she will be fine. Her mom is here, so she will handle her."

His eyes were calm while the helpless smile on his face was familiar to this mother.

"You should call her mother-in-law or mother. She is always sad, you know?"

She chuckled softly and looked at her bitterly smiling, amazing son.

He didn't answer her question and just continued with his tea.

Then he suddenly looked to one side where another person with a solid build and light knight armor was walking towards them.

"Yes, Chry?" Eon looked at the grown-up boy with a smile as the boy in armor bowed respectfully.

"Sir Malor and lady Carla were having a spar and the standing place almost burnt down.

The mages couldn't calm the Aura fire, so sir Mel used his Aura, but then the whole place was covered in mud, dust, and sand.

The two were fine, but then lady Nissa came and is now scolding both of them."

It was something normal, so he didn't have to come there to tell him this, but the young knight that had sworn his knighthood to Eon as soon as he awakened his skills was taking his duty as a knight as seriously as always.

"It's fine. Just go and tell her it's alright."

The boy, who was nothing like his past weak, small self, bowed again and turned around.

Both of them just shook their heads as they saw the wide shoulders, tall body, and bigger self of their young knight.

They could remember the day of his awakening like yesterday when he shook the entire house.

The thunderous explosion he created was less destructive than Eon's, but the shockwave he created was enough to break the enchanted glass windows of the mage and knight's house.

He changed visibly that evening and as soon as he safely finished the process, he went to Eon, who silently watched the process with excitement, and took the oath of knights.

It was an Aura oath, so it was almost eternal and that was as Eon had expected but, the strict knight-like behavior he followed after that was something he couldn't change till this day.

It was fine, though. It was a behavior that can be changed in the future.

But that wasn't important right now…

"Sir Mel needs to use his Aura to deal with hers now. She sure has become stronger."

Nolen was impressed. But Eon just nodded with a smile.

"She's been doing well since that day."

He remembered everything, and this event was a highlight in that.

It was a fine day when he had finished sparring with his grandpa for the first time and she was enlightened from that fight.

She wanted to just fight someone as soon as she could, and Alf was the same.

But he wasn't as confident in his abilities as hers, so she was the only one to challenge him.

He was somewhat tired, but he still accepted to fight after some rest and their fight was so great that the spectators who could see them couldn't help but admire the two young ones.

They were amazing, and Carla was losing back then.

He wasn't showing any mercy or even trying to hold back as he pushed her back with his normal and spell arrows.

It was a grand fight that lasted for hours but by the end, when she was finished with everything and even the flames of her Aura were on the brink of exhaustion, she remembered the words Eon spoke during their first fight and gained her very first true enlightenment.

She broke the barrier binding her and reached the new realm of [Rank-4], gaining the ability to release her Aura in a form of an attack.

Her flames, born from the pure desire to surpass everyone, could burn anything. And that was the first time she realized the meaning of the words: fire isn't the only thing that burns.

Still, she lost that fight.

She was smart and strong. And so was the youngest mage to reach (tier-4), the young boy who couldn't do anything back then.

Alf. He reached (tier-4) faster than Eon and only then was he confident enough to challenge him in true meaning.

That fight was also amazing and more colorful than the fight of flames he had with Carla.

Alf had only reached (tier-4) and he was using personal spells of that rank in their fight.

His spells, they were like the spells Eon used. Spells that looked gorgeous and at the same time were as destructive as spells of a higher level.

He had improved his 'folding' method and the way he could use his innate skill had improved a lot, too.

He was amazing to use spells like those, and their fight that gave the young mage satisfaction was magnificent.

p??d? ???ê|,?ò? Still, he also lost the fight.

In the three years, Alf had challenged Eon one hundred and nine times and lost every single time, while Carla had challenged him one hundred fifty-six times and her result was the same as Alf's.

Rein had challenged him a total of sixty-three times, and they had a close score of thirty draws and thirty-two loses.

The two of their fights were the most amazing things they witnessed once in a while and when they see them fight with most of their strengths and with the same smile as always, they recall the true meaning of a spar.

The two of them were amazing. But the grown-up Rein…

"Who would get upset over some pieces of metal, mom?"

"Ladies do, dear. The young ones like her hold some things very close to their heart."

"Even if it was mine to begin with?"

"Even if it was yours."

She smiled merrily at her son's misery.

It was true that not many ladies would care about some metal bullets or some old gun when it actually belonged to someone else, but their Reinelle was different.

She was so different that they all can't help but like that uniqueness of a girl far older than even them, and still as young as any lady at heart.

She was cute, and so was her anger, which would always calm down at most at the end of the week.

But maybe they won't have to wait for much longer today.

"Ready?" she asked as she proudly looked at her grown son, at her adult son.

"Thanks to you, yes…"

Today was a big day, and he was stressing out over everything from the dawn of the first rays of the sun.

This tea was the first thing he had since the morning, and it was only because his mom forced him to sit down and relax.

There were people to do all the work, so he had no need to stress out about his own birthday.

Yes, his birthday. He was finally fifteen and an adult, so, though it wasn't necessary, there was a huge coming-of-age party in their house today.

Yesterday night was fine, and he received the rare metal (Almikum) from his uncle El.

But, the thing was used to making unique firearms in the past so it was in a form of a gun. He didn't need that old thing, but just the metal, so…

Yeah. Rein was upset. But he knew she would be fine by the night.

There was a great party ahead of him as well as some of the most important things of his life…

Today was the day, after all.
