Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

“That went well…”

“Yup.”

It finished earlier than expected because we didn’t have to make everything for the second time. They all just finished with three servings at most.

I had anticipated at least four servings. The remaining ones were better for them, anyway.

They can take it back to their homes, maybe store it for a later date and enjoy it among themselves.

It was a good thing, and they loved the ice cream too, so it was a win-win for the makers like us.

It was a fun thing and now that we had finished all the necessary things and moved inside Anna’s room; we were free to do the thing we needed.

“Let’s see Alf’s letter~!”

“It’s a clue to his gift, not a letter, dum dum.”

“It’s a letter from the way it’s packed in an envelope and stuff from what I can tell.

I bet it’s a love letter expressing his true feelings for his big brother…”

I looked at her with a worried gaze as soon as I heard that and… she flinched at this reaction.

I was genuinely worried my aunts’ and mom’s influence was affecting her greatly and this was definitely not a good thing.

But this sudden look of worry that I just gave her was more surprising than anything for her.

It was worrisome for me and it definitely wasn’t something she normally sees so it was clear that this kind of joke didn’t suit her at all…

“Stop that look and just open the letter, idiot…”

She said in a low voice and a blush of embarrassment appeared on her pretttttty face.

This one was definitely cute, but the previous comment was not.

Anyway, I just opened the envelope and took out three pages… now this was definitely surprising.

“All of them are high-quality magic papers?”

Even she could tell just from a single glance.

All three papers had a trademark blue line of high-quality magic paper, and this kind of magic paper usually had ten to fifty pages.

And from what I can feel from the texture… this one definitely had twenty-one pages.

So… this was a sixty-nine, I mean sixty-three-page letter?

“The hell did he write for it to be sixty-three pages long?”

A frown of sudden confusion appeared on my face and even Rein was confused.

“Sixty-three…? Now I actually doubt this is a confession…”

Even I had doubts that this was something weird, but that was only one of many scenarios in my mind.

“Shut up and let’s see what this is…”

My voice was stern, and she understood her joke didn’t help in this situation at all.

I just unfolded the letter, and the first page of the letter appeared before us.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t that long.

[ Happy birthday, big brother Eon~!

You are the best rival and goal of my life and I promise to become strong enough to defeat you soon~!

It is a blessing to have you as my big brother and aside from a long and great life; I pray that you continue getting stronger even if you reach new peaks.

I will try my best to get stronger to match you.

It will be fun, and I know I am still not strong enough, so I promise to get smarter and stronger to match you~.

I will defeat you one day for sure and I know my strengths, so I did a good job and prepared some questions that will give you the location of your gift.

I hope you can solve them in time~!

Khahahahahaha~! ]

It was short and definitely devilish… the laugh at the end was even more creepy.

It was definitely not right.

And the questions he prepared…

‘The hell are these things…?’

I skimmed through the paper only to be shocked by the absurdly long and mathematical questions.

Even Rein had wide-open eyes as she looked through all three papers with twenty-one pages fully covered by the equations, questions, and long theories that needed precise knowledge of the subject, and most of all… not a single question was something I had already solved.

They were all original questions he made himself using the understanding he had of the subjects themselves…

“Mana theory, advanced elemental understanding, casting formulation, M-quantum theory based location formulation, advanced magic algebra, and even calculus based on ancient runes and texts?

The hack is that boy been doing all his life? Just studying for this day to make these questions?”

There was a deep frown on her face as she said that.

I can understand from her point of view, it was just absurd that an eleven-year-old knew things that were difficult for even her who had lived for more than a hundred years.

The difficult and mind-boggling questions in these three papers were enough to make even academic experts excited…

The boy was a pure genius for a reason. 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢

Just the fact that he understands the advanced concepts of magic casting, forming, and application is amazing but the fact that he can make questions on his own and that too having the answers that would give out the coordinates of his gift which was somewhat in this house.

I can tell he had worked for countless days and nights to get to the point he was at right now.

He studied during the time other children played around, matured his mind, understood his talent, devoted his life to achieving a goal that he had just heard about, and… just worked and worked and worked to get better.

He was amazing, and I genuinely admire his efforts. He is just incredible…

He knows stuff that he can’t even put into practice, and some of these things are examples of it.

But he knew the theory already, and he knew that he needed to make spells on his own, so he was working his way up to implement the things he had gathered his entire life.

He will become a great mage. It was unquestionable.

He will be a leading figure in the magic community in the future and it was good… I was proud of my dear little brother.

But…

“Oh dear Alfred… sadly, these are things I finished mastering two years ago. You could definitely do better and you already are the best among countless people but, you will need more deep knowledge to hold me back in terms of pure knowledge and wisdom.

Don’t worry though… I will try my best to see you become the best mage history has seen. You will definitely surpass the headmaster in terms of pure magic, but… it’s still too early for you.”

My words surprised even her… not that I already knew this stuff. She knew I had already crossed the realm of mortals in terms of knowledge and diverse things one could know.

As a successor of a high phoenix, the rules of wisdom, I carried wisdom that even I didn’t know about.

I even had Lucy who carried all knowledge and experience of her creator and more so it might not be easy to win against me in terms of knowledge unless it’s things about recently discovered things, happened events, and established knowledge and theories.

Alf had the upper hand in those things, but that poor little child asked questions that have stayed the same from the old times till this day.

If he had asked questions from the recently established things like the M-wave travel theory, physical law creations, understanding of basic new world magic, or things like that, I would definitely have had a hard time.

I was still studying those things and Rein knew them pretty well, so she was teaching me and I also had mom, so getting the new books and research papers weren’t that difficult.

I will learn the things in the academy too, but by that time, I think I will be good enough to have at least a basic understanding of those concepts.

I had Rein, who was here at the time when those things were being created, so she already knew those things better than those written in books.

I was behind in only that and maybe only Rein and mom knew that. In Alf’s POV, I was a being that already knew everything and every answer, just that I couldn’t calculate as well as him.

If he had presented the most basic calculus questions that were new in the field of magic, then it would have taken me half of the day, but these…

“Let’s start.”

Rein knew I would finish his thing quickly. They were some of our morning training things that I was teaching her… without any book or material. Just with my words like oral traditions.

It wouldn’t be surprising for her to see me solve these things that he might have taken a day just to write in just a few hours.

The thing that surprised her was the fact that I said that he could become a better mage than even headmaster, meaning he can go beyond the level of an Archmage.

It was shocking that there was even a level beyond the level of archmages, the epitome of magic and standing at the top of the world.

But she thought it was possible… the headmaster was walking towards that realm and there were beings in history that were called gods or Lords and even are praised in today’s world.

So… I just said that little Alf could reach the level of those gods. She didn’t think his potential is that great, but it defiantly is.

‘If he wants to compete with me, he needs at least that level. I do have a dream of going to that realm of mind. Not that it matters more than my great family…’

Rein was surprised, and it was too complicated to think too deeply, so she just shook her head and took out some paper and a pen.

I will need her help with arranging and keeping the papers as I solve these things. She knew it and there was not that much time…

So, we started the solution and…

…

…

“Well, it was tiring…”

It took us exactly three hours.

And the coordinates that we got as an answer were…

“He sure is daring.”

“No shit… Haze adores that place…”

The location was under a flower garden on the right side of the courtyard. A place full of the most flowers. And a place that aunt Haze maintained personally every day.

To take something out of there, we needed to do the digging, and it meant I would inevitably have to damage the garden.

“It won’t be your fault… he should have thought of there being a condition when you can’t use magic.

In the first place, he just had to use magic in her precious flower garden. He’s dead if she finds out…”

Now, I was worried about my dear little brother.

Playing with fire might have been alright, but he directly dared to go against a river of lava… aunt Haze’s unique anger is definitely as scary as mom’s.

And the pink tulips are there too… he’s dead for sure if he dared to hinder that area…

“I’m worried…”

She was worried too. About little Alf as well as me, who couldn’t do anything without that gift.

“Let’s go take a look. We might be able to do something if things aren’t that bad.”

He was still young and innocent if he thought his own mom wouldn’t mind if he did something with those flowers.

If he was her son… those flowers are her precious babies, as important as him.

“Haaa… a chill runs down my spine every time I think about her angry look. It will be even more difficult than solving these questions…”

Rein patted my back as we started walking.

She understood just what it meant to be a florist…

‘Help us… oh, mother nature…’
