Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer



[OP: ]

The island of magic's wealth is the biggest, oldest, and safest sky island in the world. 

It is divided into three major sections which are commonly known as The Academy, the city, and the outskirts.

The academy holds the major part of this island which, if seen from the front side where mostly everything is situated, covers almost one-third of the sky-island.

Of the remaining two-thirds of the sky island, three-fifth of the part is a city area where many important structures are situated and the remaining two-fifths of the area is the backside outskirts of the sky island filled with many dangerous creatures, hunting zones, dungeons, and also mines.

Primarily, the entire sky island belongs to the academy, and the areas owned by the other organizations that have their branches on this island are also part of it.

The headmasters of the academy have the highest administrative authority on the island, on this entire piece of floating land, which includes the other structures on the island aside from the academy. So, he holds some of the highest positions in the entire world.

But that aside, there are many important structures on the island aside from the academy like some of the biggest adventurer's association buildings, the biggest building of the elder council, and even the prismatic structure of the House of Prism.

They look mind-blowingly attractive however, that wasn't all. There were inns, hotels, noble and royal mansions, large villas of important people of the island and the high-ranking mages, some research facilities, and also the six great magic towers.

The entire island was primarily dedicated to magic from a few people's point of view however, it was just a false notion. 

Even though the name of this beautiful floating island was the island of magic's wealth, the island was primarily dedicated to the academy that was dedicated to the growth of the entire world.

The goal of the academy was to nurture people that could, in some way, help in the growth of this world, and they didn't see if the young one attending the institute was a knight, scholar, or just some normal person who can cook.

If they were good enough, can do something to help in the growth of other people, get strong and contribute to the world, or at least had some desire to study in this prestigious academy, then they were mostly accepted into the academy, and if they couldn't get in in their early days, they can just try again next time, there was no strict upper limit to age restriction anyway.

So, the academy was the center of this island, and this center of everything couldn't be just any common place, right?

The great academy of Hope… it was divided into three major structural parts and as it started from the very start of the island front itself and ended before the outskirts, one can just imagine the colossal volume of the academy castle.

Yes it was ginormous but that wasn't the greatest thing in the academy. The garden part, the very outer part of the academy, housed a special tree that though wasn't as tall as many other trees of his age, this special one was still great compared to the sky-piercing academy castle.

It was also so widespread that the area it converted with its branches and leaves was almost a third of the garden.

The ancient tree Quesnel. It was the wonder of nature that was an inseparable part of this academy and the island itself.

The natural energy it produced and processed, the unique creatures it houses, the entire ecosystem that was solely based around it, and the indescribable powers it held were ineffable to the simple-minded humans, elves, dwarves, orcs or any other race that studied in this academy.

It was just that great, and a single chapter was never going to be enough to tell everything about a focal character like him.

So, going around the academy, there was this giant garden all around the outer part which housed many energy beasts, and many practical classes were held around these areas with these energy beasts for the students to have actual practical experience.

And there were creatures from (Red) to (Blue) rank just safely, quietly, and happily roaming around the garden that didn't attack anyone without initial provocation so, the students were safe. And there were unique guards patrolling around some areas so they never needed to worry about them.

The ancient tree was always there, and even he didn't have much to worry about thanks to the strong familiars, tamed beasts, and bonded summon creatures strolling around the garden.

There were surely some unfaithful encounters with the angry beasts for some unlucky students but that experience was precious so the ancient tree didn't interfere in the scenarios that might become faithful encounters to the young students.

But that was a rare occasion that strangely only happened when the students were gathering herbs, just like how students only encountered the strange spiritual creatures during a certain timeframe or how the greenhouse on the eastern end of the academy was lit with some strange blue fireballs at night that didn't burn the plants but instead attacked whoever entered there at night.

Those were just myths though. Some of the nine myths of the great academy of hope.

They weren't very important so moving on… the garden was a vast place, and there were countless kinds, types, and families of plants present in this garden. There was also a grand greenhouse on the east end of the academy which housed a great variety of unique, rare, and common plants. 

And just like this greenhouse, there were some grand structures on all nine sides of the academy castle.

They all called these structures at the end side of the castle (Castle wings), and most of the famous superior-level classes were held either there, in the inner part of the academy castle, or outside the academy.

But the superior classes were the most difficult classes of the academy so the ones taking it each year were also only a handful of the total students.

Those who just wanted to learn and live their lives happily took (Basic) level courses compatible with them, while the ones who actually were determined to try something out and had experience in the given field took (Intermediate) level courses.

Those who took the (High) level classes were experts in the subjects and were mostly those who wanted to learn deeply and chose that subject as their field of work for the future.

They were the classes with a fixed level of difficulty and after those three were the classes that had no set level of difficulty so they were categorized as either (Exploration) level classes or (Adventure) level classes.

Their difficulty level changed depending on the scenario and the situation but they were the least famous classes of the academy excluding the few exceptions to this list.

And after that comes the (Superior) level classes which were famous classes of the famous professors of the academy and the most difficult ones to pass, as well as some of the most difficult ones with a difficulty level that though beguines from the basic level, it escalates to a level far beyond even the global research level in some cases.

They were also called crazy classes and only the elite of the elites or the foolish of the fools attended them.

The number of people attending each superior level course was always only two or in some rare batch's cases, in three digits.

But still, people knew just how much of a difficult course those were so not even the fools dared to choose more than one superior-level course.

But then again, there are always exceptions to everything. And in this batch, some of those exceptions were Rein and Eon who were going for three superior-level courses for this year.

It was crazy but we will come to them later.

For now, the (Castle wings). 

The first one, as mentioned before, was the (Greenhouse) on the eastern end. You would remember the blue fire creatures mentioned earlier too if you haven't got bored and dropped the chapter.

After that is the (Alchemy lab) on the northern end, the (Magic engineering lab) on the southern end, the (Library of Time) on the western end, and the (Summoning Arena) in the unique 'center' of the academy.

In the northwest is the (Sanctuary of Weapons), in the northeast is the (Cemetery of Past), in the southwest is the (Shrine of Origin), and in the southeast is some of the most famous structures in the academy, the (Tower of Iris).

Those nine places are special and we will explore these places, and much more as we all move forward and see the uncertain next moment.

And this was only a brief description of the very outer part of the academy too as the middle and inner parts would require a whole dedicated section of pages.

That was the greatness, majesty, beauty, and uniqueness of this island suspended high in the sky, and this academy made with not much precious but definitely invaluable materials, experience, times, and lives.

It was amazing and fillers like this are important… and just as important as them is the current moment where Rein, Eon, and their first friend in the academy, the innocent but smart and talented girl Quin, were sitting before the branch manager of this biggest adventurer association building… actually, no.

Only Eon was sitting and glaring straight into the eyes of the branch manager with long pointed ears, a bit wrinkly face, deep green eyes, and that fashionable suit.

There were many magic circles behind the branch manager as he sat on that couch and just glared solemnly at the boy sitting before him, pointing the fiery orange blades connected to chains of blue fire, burning so hotly that half of the room was bathed in the extreme heat.

And the other half of the room was frozen in extreme cold created by the two girls who stood beside Eon, glared wrathfully at the old elf sitting before them, and pointed their spears, lances, and even refined weapons made of solid-sharp ice.

There was a lot of water covering the floor too and this was even colder than the ice itself. It was so lethal that anything touching it turned into solid ice and if even a gentle touch graced it, it would shatter like the most delicately broken piece of glass.

The situation was unexpected, Rein had a pure rage in her black eyes, Eon was as calm as ever, and Quin… well, she didn't have much idea why she was doing it but she was also angrily looking at the person calmly sitting before them, pointing her own unique magic towards the person who used to be her grandfather's close friend, and glancing warily between him and the two of her friends who were doing what they were doing for her sake.

And the elf branch manager knew that too, however, this boy before him… he didn't know who he was, where he came from, what his background was, what he himself was, and why he was here but, he knew one thing and that didn't go well with him: the damned bastard boy knew awfully too much.
