Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 235 An Helpless Furious Spectator



“That bastard!” I couldn’t help but curse at this fight while looking at my darling friend Eon and that f-…

First, it was me, but this time, he wasn’t even thinking his opponent was just a soon-to-be twelve-year-old kid!

I knew Eon was strong, and now I believe it even deeply after seeing him walking out of that crater after the explosion unscratched.

He was amazing but his opponent, that mf piece of trash slays bastard was something I can never truly believe in even after respecting his powers unconditionally.

I knew he would do something like this. He had done the same with me last time, fighting a serious fight in the name of a ‘test’.

He was a brain sick old bastard.

I was fine after that fight just because he treated me, but that fight was some of the deadliest ones in my life.

It felt like I was once again before some ferocious (Indigo) ranked beast…

He used magic, and powerful ones that were clearly beyond my powers, but I barely managed to come out of them alive.

But even in my fight… he had never used his superhuman strength. 𝓫𝒹ℴ𝓿𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

Never he had even moved from his spot in that fight and just used spells that seemed unreasonably strong.

And on top of that, he even used Aether spells in my fight, so there was no guarantee he wouldn’t use it more than once this time.

[Aether] was one of the most fundamental energies of the world and although few could control it, those who can be even stronger than those of the same rank as him.

He may be the headmaster of the most amazing school in the world, but how dare he fight like that against my Eon?!

And all this after the brutal beating from our grandparents…

‘He’s gone mad from living for that long… definitely.’

He first used that seriously strong explosive gorgeous fireball, then he just destroyed every single beautiful arrow spell Eon threw at his every possible vital point.

Eon… even that monster bastard was more than just amazing.

I had to pick someday and set an all-out fight date with him.

And I will just grind him to pieces… well, we can think about that one later.

His spells were strong and special in themselves.

Just being able to materialize those spells at that much precision, that absurd control over surrounding energy and those weapons, even if I can’t feel things happening inside that barrier, I can still ‘see’ that with my eyes.

And the things I had seen in those few moments this fight had lasted were something I couldn’t even have believed if I didn’t know the person going against an archmage.

A young boy going against the strongest mage in the world… just this thought was absurd but, both of them were enjoying this fight.

My lovely friend was seeing the true power one could obtain with effort, amazing talents, and a tough life.

I knew, he told me as much, after that long tree conversation, that his master was one of the strongest beings one could think.

But this was different from fighting the one who taught you.

Even I felt something like this while fighting this old bastard.

It’s different to go against a truly strong person, and fight without life’s threat, and even then, knowing that the one you are against, is going so easy on you that it’s laughable how weak you are even after putting that much effort to obtain your current strength.

But, this opponent that I had faced, and he is facing, was a different kind all in itself.

He was a crazy old man… but he was caring.

He was good, and he took everything into account to ensure nothing actually dangerous would happen to us.

He was pure to the bone and knowing this made him even more of a bastard in my eyes.

He just smiled at things that are absurd, things that one wouldn’t ever think about, or even after one beats him to a pulp.

He is strong, and he knows it too, and even after knowing that, he doesn’t miss any chance to have fun.

I could never actually hate him, but I didn’t want to like his guts, too.

And all this with that pretty appearance.

Though it was different from Eon, he was attractive just from his looks.

Pretty but experienced, wise, and true at the same time.

Those two monsters fighting right now… they were somewhat similar to each other.

Though their lives had been different, they were both good at the core, caring, and loved what they were doing.

But still… that crazy old man was going too far this time.

As an archmage, and one that can use the energy even some gods can not, his physical powers were far above even our grandpas who specialized in physical combat.

And using his strength to block was fine to one extent, but… he was going to punch him?

I had seen this in his moments before he disappeared and I knew Eon saw it too, and I couldn’t help but scream at this absurdity.

And I knew this scream had surprised everyone but, even before any of us could react to this, I saw him reappearing before Eon, and at that moment… a beam of light shot from the arrow on the ground.

My heart was restless all this time, and although I knew he would be alright, I couldn’t help this worry just like his mom.

Eon’s mom… she was strong.

So strong that I doubted I would reach that level.

Not in actual strength, the physical strength or magic power, but… by heart.

Just seeing her own child in situations like these was aching, even I knew that but, she endured all that.

She just believed her son and looked at the fight with a calm heart and mind, and as if she knew nothing could happen to him, she just believed in him.

I believed in him too, but can I be like her when he was truly in a dangerous situation?

Can I be strong like her?

I… didn’t know that one.

But I wanted to, and I believed the time… the bastard time will show me everything as we walk on our path.

Anyway…

The light came out of Eon’s partner weapon, Asta.

That one was a really special weapon, and the light that came out of the weapon was unexpected to the old bastard, too.

More than that, this was no normal light as the moment it shot out of the arrow, it pierced all the barriers other than the one headmaster had set and the light that flashed before his face blocked his advancement mid-air, and… he was thrown back?

This was sudden, truly strange, and this golden light didn’t stop just there.

The weapon was still glowing, and Eon had a big smirk on his face as soon as the light from the arrow blocked the headmaster.

The light was coming out of the golden magic circle on the ground, but there was a silver magic circle on the top, too.

And when he was thrown back… Eon took out the arrow with that same smile and took a throwing stance.

The headmaster saw that one, and there was a pleased smile on his face from this one.

And seeing this, even my heart calmed down.

‘He knew he would go for the physical attack, and he set the arrow before him from the start with the spell on auto-activation just after his attack’s time.

Although the headmaster would have guessed it was something like this, even he couldn’t have believed the timing would be this precise.

The timing was just perfect, even I couldn’t believe that much.

And the way Eon was smiling right now… he was glad things worked out as he had thought.’

It took a deep understanding of the opponent to predict the next move, the opponent, and the way he just did this, was absurdly unreal.

There was no way he could have extracted much information from him to know his habits, his mindset, or there was even no way he would know the headmaster’s habit of frontal assault.

It was as if he knew him for a long time, had been with him, and watched him fight in many battles…

‘Wait a minute…?’

I just remembered this, and from the way, the headmaster was smiling, I knew he knew had long figured things out, and it made this situation even more fun for him.

And after thinking about this scenario… I couldn’t help my ludicrous smile.

Eon, oh Eon… you sly bastard.

He was ready for the moment this thing happens, and the moment headmaster was thrown back, taking out the arrow, covering it with a marvelous looking pure white energy, he threw the golden arrow at a speed that even I… only saw the white flash and the after the light of the attack.

This was fast, like really, really… really fast. An attack that was longed for from the very start of the battle.

We knew even a superhuman like him had no way to avoid this attack in this fast midair flight.

The only thing he could do against this one was… counter it with an attack of his own.

And after knowing this… I finally sighed in relief.

‘Thank mother nature… he’s at least smart enough to go against an absurdly powerful opponent.’

I just smiled helplessly at this fight and I could see aside from the older ones, not a single person knew what the hell was even going on the ground from the start of this ‘test’.

My test was in an open area of the forest at the back of the house so they weren’t here but, this one was before everyone and even after that, they barely saw things that were happening.

The explosion, the moment-long appearance of Eon’s alright state, the arrow shooting stance, the countless blue variant lights, and this golden light as well as the white light at the end.

They saw nothing more, even worse than his fight with Carla.

Now all of them knew just how strong their little Eon was.

And I also knew just how less power he used to stop me back in the forest.

He was strong, in fact, that pure white energy that materialized so fast it seemed almost instinctive…

Mana can’t be that fast, and Aura was far denser than Mana.

Then it would only mean one thing… he can also use a third type of energy that’s far faster and thinner than Mana but… it was powerful enough that the headmaster can’t use physical strength against this attack.

And the light that covered the ground for that moment… now I wanted to see what had happened.

‘Eon… you’re amazing, darling.’
