Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

His voice was like an old wise turtle from an animated movie that has become an all-time classic and was even watched in my time in holography and VR.

That aside, the curious look in his eyes caught everyone's attention, and... well, his eyes were big.

Almost two meters of diameter eyes, his height almost being fifteen or sixteen meters with his head still not fully out, his length was twenty meters almost and his smile alone was two to three meters.

And although he used [Mana speech], something I have seen before, just his appearance was more surprising than the fact that he can talk.

And Anna, as well as Zoe, were amazed by the appearance of this magnificent creature.

"Wow... really biiiiiiig turtle~." Her voice was filled with admiration and when she said this, the giant turtle's eyes went on this little angel.

[ "Oh? A protected one? I see what they saw... even I would fall for this adorable beauty~." ]

His smile deepened when he said that much and after he said that, an even deeper surprise appeared on his face as soon as his eyes spotted Zoe.

[ "Wow... master, it seems we have many surprising individuals with us here." ]

Unlike Anna and me, when he was watching Zoe, or observing would be a better word, there wasn't just surprise in those giant eyes.

There was confusion as well as pure admiration.

I knew this was because his eyes, just like mine, Rein's, and Zoe's were special ones.

And this was a very rare skill of their kind which rarely manifested in few ones.

The [Wise one].

An ability that is similar to Rein's (Old magic) but not just at that level.

Rein's skill was special, amazing and a cheat skill found only in ancient creatures of (Indigo) rank.

And I have heard her story of how she fought an unreal enemy, experienced her first [ZONE], and even gained this skill after that fight a few years ago.

That was an amazing story and I know we will talk about it again someday.

But the skill [Wise one] wasn't just a skill of this turtle's race.

It was some of the very rare common skills that can manifest in any creature of this world, be it weak or strong.

But, one thing was sure: beings with these skills are always special, smart, more intelligent, as well as wise.

In addition, they can see the true 'potential' as well as get an idea about some 'special powers' of other beings.

And I can tell from how his eyes fell on me first before anyone else... he sensed Ronna.

Then he saw a new blessed one, a young child, no less.

And at the end, his eyes met a being whose potential he can't see, creating surprise as well as awe.

He knew what it meant when he can't see someone's potential.

'It's… so overwhelming he's too weak to even fathom its depth.'

And even I will forever be grateful that I not only just knew someone like her, but I was her guardian and big brother.

Zoe was a special being, and I couldn't help but admire her forever.

Anna was just amazing, and just a glance at her true potential was enough to at least make your heart waver.

And he was an old being, a wise one who had worldly awareness at the very least.

Though it was difficult for normal humans, I knew the old ones in my family already knew about the special existence deep within me.

The soul was the most basic and fundamental energy and all the living as well as non-living, practically everything possessed soul energy in different forms.

And the ones like me and the headmaster, those who possessed a [[(Soul Armament)]], looked just weirdly different.

The turtle looked around the garden, spotting Carla and Alf, and looked at them with pleased eyes.

I knew his master was talking with earth vibrations almost like telepathy, and this was amazing.

The connection was difficult to breach in, and I didn't think I could interfere with the complicated spell without using the very few breaching spells I had in the script.

And I had no need to do such a thing for now.

The master and familiar were happily looking at each other, and he was glad his master was alright.

He even looked at me for a moment, saying thanks with his calm expression, and I nodded with a happiness-filled smile.

This grandmother was a good person and, more importantly, she was someone important to Rein.

I was just happy from the fact that I could help someone be with their loved one, and grandmother, no less.

Even happier that it was someone close to her.

If we hadn't met in that forest and I didn't have that cure, I didn't know just what had happened to us.

would we be like this, holding hands, sitting before each other?

Maybe we would. Maybe this would have inevitably happened, and we would have met in the future anyway.

Maybe we would have somehow found each other and started with friends, true friends, and then more.

Maybe… we wouldn't have.

But, I didn't want to think about the negative one.

We were together, with both our families like this, and there was a giant turtle before us, smiling and laughing like any other beast present.

He was a good creature, that I can say for sure.

He was a special one, just like everyone in this family.

But he was the most normal creature of his kind.

Not rare as an origin beast, not a royal breed like Tuuli, and not a ruler like Taika.

He was an earth turtle, and he knew it better than anyone else.

He was the strangest being present right now, even stronger than our grandparents if things were right.

He was a creature who knew the most about himself, a nigh perfect creature of its kind.

Well, now every familiar was here.
