Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 593 Greatest event of the era

593  Greatest event of the era

[Eon's POV: ]

The headmaster was here so it obviously meant the start of our event but, from the way Sir Quesnel had left everyone confused and speechless, I didn't think there would be a quick start to the main event.

'And the headmaster was here, so, he might also use this moment to share his own opinions on some of the things related to the familiars and the masters.'

At least I thought he would do that, but, it seems like he had a different thing in mind.

"Hohoho. Sir Quesnel, you can continue if you are in the middle of something. We are ahead of our schedule from usual years anyway so we have a good bit of time."

He was happy, I can tell that much, but even more than that, it seemed like he was looking forward to something very interesting. Something so interesting that it was exciting for him.

'Hmmm… is it perhaps the summoning ritual?'

[{ *I believe so too, master. He must be looking forward to seeing what kind of creature everyone summons. And the materials you provided were all from the home tower so thanks to them, the summoning array they use has been enhanced even further.* }]

'Hmm? The magic array was enhanced because of the ingredients. That shouldn't happen… wait, does that mean the array resonated with those materials?!'

[{ *I cannot answer that, master. You will have to question me.* }]

 'Your denial is more than enough answer, funny Lucy. But if that's true… does that mean the magic circle was originally created to be used with this kind of material?'

[{ *I think so? You should ask me if you want to know the details.* }]

'No thanks. This much information is good enough for now. Thanks~.'

[{ *…I did nothing though.* }]

'You helped me more than you can think. And I know you will understand it soon enough after doing your analysis.'

Lucy was cool, amazing, and special. But she was still learning the human ways and stuff that was far beyond the realm of any kind of artificial intelligence.

She was better than many humans could ever be regarding some of the things, and that mattered the most.

[{ Hohoho. No, no. I just finished everything I had to say. We can start with the meeting of creatures of this island, and then move on to the summoning part, how about that? }]

"Sounds good to me. What about you all? Are you all ready~?"

His voice was magical as usual so as soon as everyone heard it, even those who were still in a daze from Sir Quesnel's speech, came back to their senses and joined everyone in the cheerful shouts.

[{ "Everyone seems excited." }]

[{ "Right? It's time for the creatures of the island to gather here so even I'm excited." }]

[{ "Hehehe. Will the pink nightingale and the flamingos be here too~?" }]

[{ "Ummm, I don't think so. The queen doesn't allow them to go too far from their home without reason and they already loath humankind. As for the nightingale, she isn't even part of this island. Why would she come here at Sir Quesnel's calling?" }]

[{ "Yeah well… I just wanted to see them again." }]

She was missing them already, cute Rein.

[{ "It is fine. We will go back to check up on the house's status tonight. And while we are at it, let's go take a look at the nightingale as well." }]

[{ "What?! Really~? Yes! Let's do that~!" }]

She was happy just from that much… should I call this a mood swing or just a normal reaction from this unique fiancé of mine?

"Looks like everyone is already excited, Sir Quesnel. We can start with natural selection then."

The headmaster nodded at the great tree with a smile, and the face visible on the tree also nodded, starting a unique reaction that looked unfamiliar from anything we had seen until now.

-Oooooooooong!

Rays of green light started coming out of the ground and started to spread out in all directions, and they looked so mesmerizingly beautiful that the other students were all stunned once more, falling quiet or admiring the phenomenon of nature.

They did not expect it to be this beautiful, but it was just the start of the process.

The green lights under his shade started coming together and becoming one, turning into a mystical ball of energy that painted the entire area around him into a jade green of the forest.

It was his invitation to the creatures of this garden, creatures under his protection as well as creatures that resided outside of this garden.

This place was soon going to become the stage that would host the creatures that even the adventurers fear generally but to the students here, it was going to be an opportunity to witness thousands of energy beasts that they might have only seen in the books or from afar, from close, and even interact with them.

The teachers were here, the headmaster was here, and Sir Quesnel was always there as well so there was nothing for them to worry about here.

-Ooooooooooong!

[{ "It's pretty." }]

[{ "Prettier than it looks?" }]

[{ "Yeah. A lot more amazing…" }]

Rein seemed to have been mesmerized by the attractiveness of this light ball's formation. And since her eyes saw more than one can, it was fascinating how she had that look of wonder and excitement as well as that pretty smile on her face.

[{ "Show me." }]

Holding her hand and activating my (: Vision sharing), I looked back at the green light with a new perspective. Her perspective to be precise.

[{ "It's amazing." }]

The green ball of light that seemed to be a gathering of all the lights that were coming out of the ground looked something entirely different from her eyes.

It wasn't just the ground that the green light was coming out of but the tree trunk, the high-up branches, and leaves that weren't even visible from here as well as the other plants around us.

It was like Sir Ques was borrowing the power of nature from all around him to create this gorgeous ball of green light which, in her eyes, was far more than just a green ball of light.

'It was a ball of many shades of green.'

'A piece of artistic natural beauty' was the only word that came to mind as we watched the green of the forest, plants, magic, and life. But sadly, it didn't last for long and the light ball started floating upwards as soon as the process had reached its climax.

'Reading and hearing about this is definitely different from witnessing it firsthand.'

It was well known that during the academy's familiar bonding event, they call upon the creatures of the island in the vast garden of the academy, and after that, they also give a chance to all people present to use the unique summoning circle that is said to bring one's familiar to them.

There are rumors that the process itself looks cool but because of the restrictions of the academy, the information about it is relatively limited even on the maginet.

'But this is cool. Certainly. And if the process itself is this cool, it is unimaginable how fascinating the end result would be.'

The ball of various green lights flew up in the sky, swirled around for a moment in an effort to focus all the gathered energy in the ball of light, calmed down, and became a simple green orb floating in the sky with a glowing yellow light inside of it, and then… the light expanded exponentially, creating a marvelous firework that covered the entire sky above the garden.

[{ "Wow…" }]

[{ "It's fascinating however many times I see it." }]

All of the young people including Rein and I were gasping at the fireworks in the sky, but Uncle El had a relatively calm and happy mood even after witnessing something so unique… but since this wasn't his first time seeing this it was understandable.

He was still happy though.

When I looked at him standing on the stage with the other teachers with that calm smile, I couldn't help but think how special all of this would feel to him as a teacher of this academy.

All of this being fascinating was one thing, but, this time we all were here as well. So, not only as a teacher, but also as a good uncle, a fine father, and an elder of our family, the kind of emotions he would be feeling at the moment must be special in themselves.

[{ Masterrrrrrrr! Look~. So pretty~!! }]

And Celes was happy to see this special firework as well, just like all the other familiars already present in this garden.

'Greatest event of the era… it surely isn't a bad name for something of this scale. It definitely deserves that exaggerated title.'

The current era was called the 'golden era' because of the presence of so many unique prodigies and young people with greater talents and powers.

The academy was the central institution that gathered all those geniuses as well as people that the world did not know yet.

The familiars were creatures that were mostly at least as strong as the person's current strength or their innate potential for growth from the general public perspective.

So, in this event where they all had a chance to bond with a creature of great powers, the world couldn't possibly wait to know the fascinating familiars the famous people of the higher class, and the well-known prodigies would summon in today's event.

That was undoubtedly going to be fun, but, before we moved on to the summoning part, we first had to meet all the unique creatures of the island and this special garden...

'There are some intriguing creatures that I was to meet now that we have this chance… hopefully, though, there will be some space for me to move.'

There was going to be a swarm of energy beasts in this garden soon, and, by nature, the energy beasts are attracted towards those with high affinity with nature and elements of nature that correspond with them.

'Which meant some of us were going to get more of their attention than most of the others.'

Especially Rein, Zoe, me, and a few similar to us.

It is going to be a little difficult for us now.
