Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 837: Difference between mortal and divine

[Eon's POV: ]

"Who do you think they would be?"

"Who knows? Speculating isn't too fun, you know? Just enjoy the movement of surprise."

A new day, a new beginning.

"You know already, don't you?"

"Heh. How would I know something so confidential?"

Giving her a smirk as we stood before the door of the headmaster's office, I looked at the angry face she was making.

It was an adorable expression that I was expecting from the start, but seeing it still made this blend morning a bit more interesting.

"You're a bastard."

She just opened the door with that same angry expression and went in instead of knocking or asking for permission… but then again, the headmaster already knew we were outside.

"Welcome-."

"Shut up for a minute."

He was sitting behind his desk and was about to greet us when she shut him up with that annoyed look and looked around the place, trying to find something.

"They aren't here."

She even used her eyes to look around the place but found nothing that was looking for.

"Of course they aren't. What did you think? The individuals that the great headmaster chose for his student council students would just play around in his main office where people frequent regularly?"

It was a fact that not just anyone could visit the headmaster in his office but the teachers and the house captains as well as some certain individuals that were neither a teacher or captain certainly visited this office every now and then.

'We were supposed to meet our new mentors today, and they most certainly weren't going to be sitting around in his very office.'

She knew that simple logical fact as well, but she still looked around to see how I would've known about it, even while knowing she was not going to get the answer to that question.

"Hump. Bastards."

And now she was angry.

"Haaaa."

This complicated little girl…

"Anyway… seems like you all had fun with that little hamster and the others?"

"Hmmm?"

Well, of course he knew about what we did yesterday and the day before.

He could see almost everything with his divine world authority so at least most of the things related to this island and especially some of us were not hidden from him.

"You know about the cave and that little cutie?"

Still, even while having known this person for such a long time, she was confused how he knew about the divine being of those mountains.

"Hmmm… so you have met Them already, hun?."

She looked at him with a look of surprise for a moment, before shaking her head with a discontent look.

"You are definitely a bastard."

She went ahead and sat down before him on the chair and following her, I sat down as well.

"How could you hide the fact that there is such an incredible being living on the same island as us?"

"…"

She was upset now. And seeing this, the headmaster couldn't help but smile like an elder looking at the young children that were being cute before the older ones.

"Hahaha."

And then he laughed as if he found this funny… showing a rare sight of him laughing genuinely.

"I'm certain you know the answer to that funny question already so instead of the unrelated thing, how about we talk about the thing you are here for?"

He seemed happy for some reason.

Even though he was in that terrible mood a few days ago due to the incident with the people of Kaksha, right now, she seems to be in a much better mood.

'I can tell he was still finding ways to resolve this problem completely but taking the complexity of the situation in consideration, I know very well just how difficult it is going to be for him.'

Fate of not only that one city but the entire world depends on the choices he makes and the cards he plays.

"Hump. Do whatever you want."

She grabbed the owl sitting beside him and pulled him closer to her without using more force than what was needed, and then started playing with the creature instead of paying any attention to him.

"Haaa."

And seeing this very much expected reaction of hers, we could only sigh with smiles on our faces.

"Anyway…"

We knew her well as well, so many words weren't needed to understand this peculiar person.

She was unique, and we had already accepted that fact.

"How was it? Your meeting with a  divine being?"

He was asking us with a smile in his face, expecting some kind of an interesting answer, but, instead of seeing a cute response like some children's, he was met with a look of bitterness.

"They were majestic."

"If a creature that is part of this physical world could be so much… special, what exactly are the ones we call gods that reside in the higher realms?"

We have seen demons so we know what exactly the underworld, the Hell realm is made up of. We know what we deal with when we enter that realm of darkness and evil, however, we have not seen the heavenly beings in person.

'We don't know how the gods, lords, or even the angels- the messengers of these gods- look exactly.'

Various stories have different depictions of those beings and those stories are their definitions.

No one knows what they truely are until they experience them from their own perspective, so, we have no idea what those higher beings with aphysical forms would be like.

"She could see their true form naturally, while I was invited by them in their mind realm to witness their presence."

To think what kind of incredible being they truely were, one had no choice but to witness what they were behind the appearance of a simple small creatures.

The complex being that we saw, the form they had eared with their unique achievements in this nature, was not something one could put into words even with all the vast knowledge of vocabulary.

'Seeing them was a treasured experience in itself, but after coming across something that was planned by the higher beings, a strange conspiracy targeted to harm this world, the very gods that the people of this world worshiped did not seem like any merciful being to us anymore.'

We alredy had conflicting feelings towards them but seeing what a true divinity, one that was not even born a divinity, could be capable of.

"At the end of the day… we are weak mortals."

It was a bitter truth that there was a fundamental difference between a simple human being and a higher being like that cute looking creature, or a pheonix like my master, or the Keeper we have under our new home, or even Wali.

And they are still beings who exist in the physical world.

"Just thinking how there are beings so strong and powerful that they could not naturally be in the same plain of existence as us physical beings makes me question why they would want to do something so horrible the very people that worship them."

"And even while knowing the answer to that question… I could not accept it."

After coming back from that pretty place and saying good night to the others, we went back to the dorm and pondered over these thoughts.

We talked about what we experienced, what we felt, what questions came to mind, and how we tried to justify the answers that were obtained with logical reasoning.

'Some things that popped up made us question the nature of those higher beings, some answers that came up made us question the way we saw them until now.'

We did not sleep last night.

And this morning as well, we were awake the whole time thinking how we are going to deal with something or someone that turns out to be a bigger threat than a demonic noble.

'Divinity was not something anyone could have.'

So, what would be do when we come across a demon so powerful even the divine skills of the higher beings would be ineffective before them.

'It was a tough night.'

And at the end of it all, I had to distract her with the reminder that we were going to meet our new mentors today.

Which certainty helped her get out of that dark zone, but now here we are, thinking over the same things that were just too absurd to contemplate.

"You two think a lot you know?"

He looked at us with a helpless smile now, and shook his head with a smile afterwards.

"The higher beings are complicated however, with time, you will come to know that they are not as complicated as the most simple mortals that we could see in this physical world."

He stood up from his seat, shook his head while looking at the sad expression she was making and we up to the right side of the room… and opened one of the two mysterious doors of this office.

"Come on now, let's meet your new teachers. They have been waiting for you two for a while now."

Today was the day we were supposed to meet our new mentors that would teach us things that we needed the most, as well as the things that will help us going forward.

It was going to be a fun thing so we had forgotten about about the sadness and anxiety we have had since last night, but he ended up reminding us those things once again.

"Get up, silly little children. We don't have all day now. You have classes to attend to."

We could not get up from our seats ourselves so he helped us a little, used his Mana, picked us up and then, he dragged us inside the special room that, perhaps, only a few fortune and special ones had ever been brought to… to meet the special and incredible individuals that were going to teach us from here on out.
