Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 856: Three days before the midterms

[Eon's POV: ]

"Haaa… what to do now?" She sounded pretty bored as she made a dove out of a piece of paper.

"Have you gone through the subjects?"

"Yup." She was

"Have you revised them?"

"Yup…"

"Have you read your notes, my notes, and gone through the extra material I prepared?"

"Yup, yup, and yup. I was bored last night so I even talked with the teachers.

They were surprised how I was asking them philosophical questions at 3 AM instead of syllabus questions.

But the questions I asked kinda made sense so we all ended up having a fun debate till morning."

"Ah, now I understand what was going on with you this morning."

Not long was left before the exams, and we were done with everything in the course.

We had prepared more than enough to get a good score on all the subjects.

We were pretty much done with the Conference preparations for now as well.

'There was actually nothing to do anymore other than the regular training that we were having with our mentors.'

And even that training was getting pretty comfortable.

"Haaaa…"

She was especially bored today.

"Do you wanna do something fun?"

"What kind of fun? I'm too bored for anything physical… of course physical stuff in the bedroom is an exception, but aside from that, I'm not feeling like moving."

"I can see that. So don't worry. We won't even have to move for this fun thing."

Picking her up with some magic and placing her on one side, I placed my head on her lap.

"Celes, can you show us what everyone's up to?"

She was a little surprised when I did that but she just naturally started stroking my hand.

"Spying on others is a fun thing?"

Looking at others with Celes wasn't anything new to us anymore so she didn't think it would be anything new.

But, she was wrong.

"Only three days are left for the exams, dear. Of course we will see something new."

It's going to be a fun thing since I know very well how much pressure they might be feeling right now.

It was the first exam so, there's no way they aren't doing something funny or absurd.

"So, who should we start with?"

Looking up at my lovely fiancée who looked back at me from over the two mountains between us, I smiled mischievously.

And she smiled back, taking my joke a little too seriously.

"No no. Don't think about anything funny now, Miss. You won't be seeing the fun things if you start something else."

Our great mentors gave us a break from the training for today so we had all day to ourselves.

Perhaps, that was the reason she was playing around with the teachers instead of sleeping and resting even after all the training she had been doing.

She has had pretty good sleep this morning and she will have a good sleep later in the evening as well.

She was bored right now and that was the only thing that we had to focus on.

There was nothing more important than her health and that health was only going to be fine if she was active.

And that wasn't going to be possible when she was like that.

"Celes, let's start with Quin."

"Hmmm. Quinny should be studying right now."

She was studying the last time we checked and she was fine as well so Rein thought she would be fine even now.

Sadly though, that wasn't necessarily going to be true.

[{ Master! I don't think little Quin is the right person to start… she's bathing right now!" }]

"Hmm? She's bathing? Right now?"

It was late morning and she usually took a bath early in the morning as well as late at night.

This wasn't her usual routine. She was doing something she usually doesn't and, just hearing that put a smile on Rein's face.

"Looks like they really are having trouble."

We were different from the normal students so this test wasn't that big a deal for us. And we knew what kind of results we were going to see at the end so this entire exam was a simple thing for us.

Other students, on the other hand, weren't going to be the same.

"They are going to pass it with flying colours anyway, and they are still worried. Ahahaha, are we different ones~?"

She was suddenly in a good mood now and was laughing while messing up my hair.

We hadn't even started with the peeking stuff and she was already having fun.

"We are different… anyway, if not Quin, who should we see first?"

We had a lot of friends and even if we observe them and their behaviour for about half an hour, the time should pass smoothly.

We can even take a break at lunchtime and continue until dinner time later.

"Hmmm~. If not Quinny, shall we see how Med is doing? She might be doing something fun."

She was a fun one and yes, she might certainly be doing something fun and appropriate that we could observe as well.

'Invading others' privacy wasn't the goal of this little game. We just wanted to have a look around so this was a good opportunity.

"Hmmm. Med was in her shop the last time I checked. Celes?"

Her ability with the clones and transmissions was phenomenal.

It was better than even what RayRay could do.

'Zoe even sometimes asks me to exchange our companions, saying my 'butterfly' is better than hers.'

Everyone knows she's joking, but those who know the true identities of these two butterflies would never want to exchange it with even the creatures of the same kind.

[{ Oh! Yes! We can see little Med! It seems like she's doing something fun anyway! }]

Celes might seem childish sometimes but she isn't anything even close to that.

Despite her attractive looks and childish personality, she is a smart and calculating individual that knows how to do whatever she is doing.

She knows very well just how important it is to use her powers for my sake, and for the sake of people I love.

She is smart so she does many of the important things herself, and without her… I don't even know what I might have done in this dangerous world.

"Med is doing something fun? Now that's a new one, hun?"

Rein didn't know what Med might be up to but she for sure knew very well how she was not the person to do anything fun at this hour.

The most fun thing she might be doing right now was dealing with some clients or dealing with a big crowd at her shop. Enjoy new tales from m-v l'-NovelBin.net

'She was like mom in certain ways.'

She loved her business, and she loved spending more time making sales than just sitting around all day, preparing for the exams that she knew she would do well in anyways.

'She was the one person even I didn't think would be affected by the pressure of these exams. But, as soon as we closed our eyes and saw what Celes' clone was seeing, both of us were stunned.

[{ "What the hell?" }]

She was still in her shop but she wasn't selling anything downstairs or dealing with some client.

She was alone in her room, sitting not on her desk but in the middle of the room, in the centre of what looked like a magic circle, with a pentagram drawn over it, and candles burning on the edges of it.

[{ "What is she doing with all that…?" }]

It was quite surprising to see someone like her doing something like this, and we knew instantly what she was doing thanks to the book (Luck enhancement rituals) and a big white board with 'Midterms' written over it sitting right before her 'magic circle'.

[{ "Putffff… hahahahahahaha! She really believes in those dumb things~? What the hell! Hahahahaha!" }]

Rein started laughing out loud at the funny situation we were seeing right now.

[{ "And here I thought she was a smart one… everyone has their grey sides, I see." }]

Med was a smart person, no doubt about that.

But, she was sitting in the middle of this magic circle holding a colourful candle while the other candles were burning all around her.

From the traces of burned papers around this magic circle, it seemed like the notes she had prepared— notes that were sacrificed for better luck.

[{ "Puhahahahahaha! Let's go there, lol! She's going to be so cute when we tell her we know her little secret~! Hahahaha!" }]

According to Celes, she was doing this for a while now.

She had read this bogus book on luck enhancement, and had been trying to enhance her own Luck with the most workable ritual.

[{ "Hahahahaha!" }]

Her actions were pretty much absurd if I have to say it myself, but from how the book seemed new and how it was currently the best trending book on the island, I'm pretty sure she isn't the only one doing something so stupid right now.

'If there's one, there are going to be others as well.'

However, it did not mean what they were doing possessed any credibility.

[{ "There's no ritual or way that could affect the Luck." }]

One of the most important factors that the students might have realised they needed for this exam was the 'Luck' stat since they weren't going to give traditional exams.

These exams were going to be special so being lucky with the ones that would grade them, as well as with their question papers was a very important thing.

'Luck is indeed necessary…'

But, there was no way to increase what could not be increased even with potions or blessings of the higher beings.

[{ "Puhahahahaha!" }]

Luck was an inherent stat that changed depending on the will of nature.

Not even divine skills could interfere with it, so, if she really thought she could do it with something so simple and dumb, she was more childish than either of us had ever imagined… but we knew this friend of ours wasn't that childish.

[{ "Hehehe, I get it what you meant by the fun thing." }]

It was thanks to the anxiety of the midterms that forced someone as smart as her to do something as childish as this.

'And, since even someone like her was doing something so funny, Rein was now eager to find out what funny things the others were up to at the moment.'

I was looking forward to seeing the others.

Listen in on them.

And see what might be going on in their heads at such a critical time.
