Chapter 838: The archer and The witch
[Eon's POV: ]
There were two unique doors on both side of the office of the headmaster that belonged to the headmaster of the academy. These unique doors were something that had unique spaces that the current headmaster could change completely depending on their need.
'They were special spaces that were the same as a personal space for the headmasters of this academy and, the unique space was recorded to be something so unique that rarely anyone aside from the headmasters themselves were allowed entry into these spaces.
'Even Cradle and president Zodiac had not seen what was behind these two doors and I most certainly was joy expecting to see what there is anytime soon either.
"Why do you look so surprised? Did you think you would never get to see what's behind these doors or something?"
He was laughing and making fun of both of us since we had these rare confused and stupid expressions, but this was obviously something surprising.
"Anyone would be surprised if you drag them to a place like this, headmaster."
In the past few centuries that the great Aldrich Merlin had been the headmaster, if I'm right, there should not even be a dozen people who had been to either of his personal rooms… but, we were here right now without even having done something as grand as the past known visitors of this place had accomplished-.
"You shouldn't think too deeply about this. It's just a room."
He was smiling as he led us through the strange labyrinth of rooms and doors that all seemed pretty much the same.
Even spotting the minute differences between these rooms was difficult with how identical they were.
Furthermore, they were so ordinary in appearance that if one did not have eyes that could see the truth of all nature, or a kind of memory that could remember nearly everything and someone that can compare them at a speed nearly impossible by any normal means.
"I want to believe that as well… headmaster."
All rooms looked pretty much the same but Rein could see just how much different and unique every single one of them actually were and how there were things in each one of these interconnected rooms that not only connected one with the other but also possessed a kind of energy frequencies that apprised them to be artifacts or the highest levels.
Not a single one of these interconnected identical rooms were the same as the other so, it would be impossible to navigate through these rooms for anyone other than the person that had made these places.
'The headmaster was the pinnacle of the illusion series of magic, and this place represented that fact.'
Nearly most of the objects present in these rooms were made with his unique Mana over a course of many centuries, there were still places that seemed incomplete so it was also clear that he had not completed this room.
'There were signs of strong Mana bombardments in certain empty rooms as well, so perhaps he even practised his magic spells in this place.'
These rooms… this one room of his was certainly a unique place that belonged to him.
"Hahaha, you can come here anytime if you want. You've alredy earned that much even if you might not deny it.
Anyway, get ready."
He opened another identical door and this time, the place that we ended up in, was nothing like the identical rooms that we were walking in since a while ago.
"They will be your mentors for the coming months."
The room before us was vast. There was a lot of empty space in in the middle while the periphery of the circular room was completely covered in weapons, books, and objects that could be used in training.
There were things here that the students used in the training halls of the academy, however, the one present here were much more advanced than what we had in the training halls.
The entire room was also covered in the special tiles that were used in the Special artificial reality classrooms so it was obvious that they could also turn into into something else.
Additionally, there were two individuals standing in the center of the room… well, they weren't only standing.
"And you two. Stop doing whatever you are doing and come here. The ones you have been curious about have finally arrived."
There was an elf wearing simple clothing that resembled the ones that forest rangers wear, and there was lady wearing luxurious clothings that, well, were too shiny for some reason.
"Hump!"
"What would a pointy eared bastard even know about the essence of true nature."
"You talk too much nonsense, you know? There is no one aside from us who would know better about the intentions of the nature than Us!"
"Oh shut up now. You are just some dumb pointy eared bastards that knows how to use spirit mana. There's nothing special about it, and there is no real relation of magic of the spirits and the closeness with the nature!"
They were arguing.
The Elf mister seemed frustrated while the lady wearing the most luxurious outfit I've ever seen in either of my lives, a clothing completely made up of the most precious threads, wowan together with one of a kind techniques, and decorated with the most lavish things that one could think about.
'If I have to say so myself, one could purchase a few kingdom worth of elements with just that one dress.'
It just that much luxurious.
And, one person was wearing something that precious in a place that seemed to be a training hall where one trained with dangerous things.
But… that unique outfit was the very reason she was called the (Witch of luxuries) by the entire world. One of the oldest witches, and one of the strongest, most feared individual of the western parts of this continent.
"They… are going to be our mentors?"
I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Oh… damn."
And Rein was the same.
"Yes, and this is no good first impression. Haaaa."
He sighed deeply and walked towards the two of them to stop their useless argument.
I can tell he had alredy expected something like this from the look he had right now, but then again, he thought that they would behave well when we were here.
But that did not turn out as he had expected and he had to use his special magic to deal with both of them…
"Both of you are unbelievable."
From what was known, the witch in luxurious clothing was older than even the headmaster while the attractive looking elf was just a few decades younger than the headmaster. But since no one actually knew the real age of the headmaster, it was only speculation.
'But, all that aside, the age of the three of them combined was almost over three millennia. Which was pretty much more than a few eras. And hundreds of decades.'
And even taking age as something insignificant in the context of this world, the three of them were some of the most famous individuals known to the mankind.
-Smack. Smack.
"Behave yourself. And greet the two… they aren't going to see you the way you wanted them to anymore. Dumb people."
The headmaster shook his head, looked in our direction, and after nodding at us, he vanished from the room. Leaving us with the two unique individual that are going to teach us going forward…
"It's all because of you, hump!"
"What did I do? You were the one that started all that!!"
"You are the one that's always dressed like that! Why would you even want to wear something like that?
Isn't modesty a virtue of the one close to nature such as yourself?!"
At the first glance, the golden haired witch wearing the heavy golden dress would seem like some empress or a goddess.
She was practically a source of light in this room with how her shiny golden dress covered in jewels and ornaments was reflecting the lights.
She was extremely gorgeous, she had a older charm, and her physical characteristics were perfect as well.
'She was a witch so beauty was an obvious characteristic of hers, but, that was not all there was to her.'
Her deep blue eyes contained the same kind of light as the headmaster, showing her ownership of more than one world authorities.
"What do you care how I dress?! Just focus on your student instead of being swayed by the physical appearance of someone else you forest pig!"
"That! That! I wasn't the one that started it! You were the one that started it all by calling me that!"
"I didn't even say it out loud! You were the one that made a mountain out of a molehill!"
She was known to mock not just the elves but every single being she came across since it was just how she was naturally so seeing her arguing like that was nothing surprising to us.
But on the other hand, the one that she was arguing… I genuinely never knew one of the few people I admired could have that kind of childish side to him as well.
"You! You…!"
He was angry at her but instead of doing anything or retorting with actions, he was just angrily pouting at her.
"Alright you two, that should be enough. Calm down now."
The Divine archer, holder of the third seat.
The best warrior and wilder of bow and arrows.
He was an icon for all that wields the bow and arrows including myself, and just the fact that I was meeting him was a big thing for me but, I was seeing a side of him never described in any book or narrated in any grand stories of his adventures.
"You miss, witch. Sit there and you, go sit there." Stay connected through m-v l|e'm,p| y- r
"How dare you order me-."
"You do that or we will just go back. Then you can teach whatever you want."
Rein was threatening two of the most respected individuals of this world without any care… and seeing that look in her eyes certainly made them realise the severity of the situation as well.
"Tsk."
"Hump!"
They followed her instructions and stopped their patty fight… another unexpected sight that surprised all of us present.
