Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 853: How the conference proceeds

[Eon's POV: ]

"So, we received the news that you two will be presenting during this grand conference and also-."

"Wait, you didn't know until now?"

This was surprising, for both of us.

"Well… it's not like we have to know everything about you, right?"

Both of these teachers never fail to surprise us with their utter lack of 'teacher' qualities.

They were our teachers so they were supposed to teach us and, well they were pretty decent with that thing… everything else though, made their role itself questionable.

"Haaa…"

Rein couldn't help but sigh at the way her mentor, Lady sapphire was acting so casually about this whole tropic.

For goodness' sake she even had that dumb foolish smile on her face, one that most certainly was one of no jokes.

"Anyway… what are you two going to present anyway? Something fun~?"

Not just Rein, even I had to give her a look of annoyance this time.

She was… doing this on purpose now.

"Seriously?"

Rein could especially not understand how such a smart person with such achievements could act so dumb even with all the information and knowledge she possessed.

She was smart and she possessed a vast knowledge about many things but, here she was, acting ignorant about this whole situation. Continue your saga on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net

"Ahem… that should be enough teasing, miss Sapphire."

At least, it seemed like this mentor of mine, the divine archer that was even dumber than her sometimes, had some kind of conscience.

"We should not delay any further."

The headmaster must have asked them to help us prepare for the conference as well.

'We had already received the basic understanding of this grand conference from mom so we didn't need to start from scratch.'

But it did not mean that we were ready for that conference.

'Even mom had to prepare for over a year just for a few minutes of her presentation.'

And from who described her experience of that day, we know well this one presentation was no simple thing.

"Hump, you are no fun long eared chicken!"

There was no beef between the two of them but, they just naturally did not like one another… or perhaps they liked one another so much that they couldn't get along with each other in this setting.

But the former was more believable in their situation.

Both of them were special individuals that were famous throughout the world and were powerhouses of the world that would most certainly be present in that conference as well.

They were quite old as well so they must have attended many of these gatherings, so it was better to learn about the things that happen there from them.

'The headmaster was supposed to teach us these things as well but he must be busy with the preparations right now.'

There were a lot of things that needed his attention and with him looking after those things, it was better for someone as qualified as them to look after us.

'And since this usually ignorant teacher of mine was not in the mood to play around, Lady Sapphire also got back to her serious self.'

Though, it certainly took a heated argument with her student. But we can ignore that thing.

"Alright then, let's start from what you know."

"Yes."

The grand conference.

It was the gathering of the world's most influential figures. The gathering of the true powerhouses, or the people that could make significant changes to this world.

The members of this conference included the good people as well as the evil that, under the treaty of the conference, also attended as a representative of their side.

'We knew there were going to be many impotent people in that gathering, we knew there would be many strong people as well, and we knew not all of them would be nice to us.

Especially not when we were going to present evidence of the existence of an organisation that, unlike the usual Rakshasas, aimed for the complete destruction of this world.

'The topic of our presentation was sensitive and since the base of it was going to be the attack that had happened in the political stronghold of Lakmer, many of the other powers were also going to be hostile to us.'

And, though I have not decided on it yet, we were planning to include our findings in Kaksha as well.

But, I'll have to discuss it with the headmaster first.

'That aside, there were many other incidents from all over the world that were one way or another connected to these people.'

The thing that I've found out over these past two months about them and their schemes runs even deeper than I had initially imagined and they aren't just a cult that possesses immense power… their roots have been spread to the deepest, most crucial borders of this world.

'And, what I know about them right now, isn't even a portion of their true scale.'

From small kingdoms to big cities, from important tribes to the most powerful nations of this world… they are present everywhere.

'According to Lucy's calculations, they had been present on this world for more than two thousand years, perhaps more.'

The kind of things that they are running right now must have taken them at least that much time, and if we consider that the one behind this whole thing is someone above the level of a god, then… well, they might also be some kind of primordial being.

'We don't know much about them, and that much is the only thing we know about them for certain.'

Still, what we will present before all those important people will cause a great commotion.

'Some of them are leaders and some of them are rulers, and knowing how there are traitors hidden amongst their ranks… among them, will not be a good thing.'

A commotion was inevitable.

But that is beside the point… before we worry about all that, we will first have to prepare for this presentation.

"Hmmm… I see. So, you at least know the basics."

The grand conference was a simple conference just like any other, a formal meeting of people with a shared interest held over a course of three days.

People from all over the world and, sometimes, other three planets belonging to dwarf kind, orc kind, and giant kind also attend this event.

In their absence, people of their confidence managed their land, and if there is any kind of problem in their land in their absence, a means of immediate transportation is prepared for them.

Matters of worldly safety are discussed in this meeting, and certain individuals who are decided prior to the conference present their topics and the rest of the people present in the conference comment on the matters if they see it as anything worth their attention.

The process itself is pretty simple, however, there are times when they have to discuss matters that are outside of the agreed agenda and come up with a solution of something that concerns this world or a vast population of this world.

"Hmmm. You two know how the things work there, so that is that. But, you are forgetting something very important."

The headmaster of the academy and the one holding one of the highest authority in this world is given the task to organise this gathering.

The invitations are sent to the individuals that would attend this gathering personally by them, and aside from the individuals that are invited and the individuals directly closely connected with them, no one else is allowed entry inside the meeting place.

It was pretty simple and standard procedure, so… I had already told them all that we knew.

"What is this 'very important thing' that we are forgetting, Lady Sapphire?"

They were more experienced with this gathering than either of us so, their input on it was very important.

'I did not want any kind of trouble in that place… which is impossible, I know. But still, the less trouble we face, the better it will be for the rest of the attendees.'

It wasn't a good thing for the representatives holding great authority in this world, holding great powers to fight among themselves.

"Well…"

I had no idea what this important thing I was forgetting was, so I looked at her sincerely.

"There are good people in this place and there are bad people. And, no… by bad people, I do not mean those who follow [Chaos] or Demons. Those are actually the easier ones to deal with."

"Hmmm?"

Rein was confused how the demons and those wanting the destruction of things all over the world could be easier to deal with then something else.

However, I got what point she wanted to make here.

"The Boomers."

"Right. Looks like you know about them after all."

In the conference, there were individuals that though possessed undeniable knowledge, abilities, intelligence, skills, or experience, they were people that always were the cause of any kind of problems.

'Collectively, the rest of the conference members called them boomers.'

An inappropriate slang used for not exactly old people since many of these 'boomers' weren't exactly that old, but for those who wantedly or unwantedly found faults with anyone that was presenting any kind of topic.

They were the troublemakers, and it was an unspoken fact among the other members of the conference that if anyone wanted to finish their presentation without any kind of trouble, then they would have to somehow please these boomers.

"Since the matter you are going to address is something so serious, I have no doubt those bastards will make it a hell for you to even finish your presentation."

They weren't exactly bad people… or perhaps they were. I have no idea what kind of people they actually are, but I thought the seriousness would somehow work out in my favour.

Miss Sapphire though, didn't think that would be the case.

"You don't know what kind of people they are, so we shall first tell you about the most difficult opponents you will have to face."

There wasn't much information about this 'boomers' since a created 'law' forbids people from talking about anything related to the grand conference outside of it.

Including the identities of the attendees.

"Yes… we appreciate the help."

Still, there were people who this law did not apply to… people like her that had contributed to the creation of this origin law.

"A thanks isn't going to be enough for this kind of help, huhuhu. Remember this 'favour' I'm doing you two."

This was invaluable information, so… well, it wasn't that bad to owe her for it.

She was a reasonable businesswoman. I know we can negotiate when the time to pay her back arrives.
