Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 658 The new assignment

[Eon's POV: ]

In the great academy castle that was so tall that even from afar, we could not see the teal peak of it, there existed some special floors and some special room dedicated to some special people, or things.

The floor of student council was president was one of them.

It existed far above the normal floors of the academy and above many of the labs and even the offices of the teachers, however, there existed a magic lift that takes one right at that floor so it was easily accessible to the students and the other teachers.

Some of the labs of the teacher were special and was ristricted to the normal students and only the people with special permissions could go there.

Some of the special storage rooms or the artificial environments were also special and contained some unique things that not just anyone could go to.

The whole of the academy castle was, truthfully, shrouded in mystery.

'I bet not even the headmaster has seen every corner of this castle.'

I had a deep knowlage of this castle and its entire structure thanks to my master's detailed knowledge about the place, however, even I couldn't say for certain that I knew everything there was too know about this castle since the knowlage I had came from someone who had not visited the place in person for centuries.

She did not know everything about this place, and she had told me this when she was teaching me about this castle: "The academy building, the main one at least, is a place that evolves with each batch so, no one knows just what its true extent is".

She called it a special structure created by the best minds of all times and a structure that evolved with each batch, and, she also told me leave something of my own when I come here.

'And, I am planning to do that for certain before graduating from this place.'

But, that all wasn't happening before the midterms.

"Half a minute earlier, see. I win the bet."

"Tsk."

"You two! Be late at least once! I lost because of you! Hump!"

Headmaster's office was just a normal looking office however, there were three doors to this room, and, no door opened in some corridor or another room. 

'Only the teachers, the house captains, the student council members, and presidents could come to this room or allow someone entry to this room after taking the permission from the headmaster himself.'

Coming here was a difficult task in itself, and the only way to come here was through direct teleportation. So, the question of what was behind these three doors should be something obvious if there was not some corridor or another room behind them. 

"Why is it our mistake that we are on time? And in the first place, we are late from my point of view since one should always be at least three to six minutes earlier for it to consider 'on time'."

"That's bullshit! Shut up! Fuck!"

"Pay up young miss. Huhuhu."

The headmaster was laughing, Cradle was frustrated since she lost some kind of bet with him, and Zodiac, well, he was playing with SanSan without minding the two of them before we came, but he was no looking at us now with his usual slime, and, SanSan was happily waving his head at us, all happy and cheerful as usual.

'There was something behind the three of these doors, and, it changed with every headmaster. I don't know what the three doors contain behind them this time, however, I know one thing for certain.'

All three of these doors contain a unique world of their own.

Not some normal extended space or special place, but, quite literally an endless plain that the headmasters could freely change at the start of their turn as the headmaster of the academy.

'It was a special privilege only given to them, and since I know what the previous headmasters had behind these three doors, I am super curious to look at what this headmasters of mine has there.'

It is confidential info so perhaps not even these two before us knows what the three of these doors have behind them, but, however difficult it is to see what they contain, one of my goals for these three years of mine here, was to see what all three of these doors contained.

'And I will pull every trick I can to achieve that goal.'

It will be difficult, but, it's not impossible.

This headmaster standing before me had achieved the impossible by looking at all three of the previous rooms of his headmaster back in his days, so, it certainly isn't some impossible achievement.

"Aghhhhhh. This was the last one I had. Now I will have to wait for an entire week to have another one. Fuck."

"Hohoho. As the elders say young one: Never gamble something you can't afford to lose. Take their words to heart."

"Shut up you bastard. Taking things from young people… don't you have any shame?"

"Hahaha, one of my old friends always told me to be shameless when it came to education, rewards, and winnings. Such an amazing fellow he was."

"Why are you even talking like an old man all of a sudden? It doesn't suit that attractive face you have at all! Change how you look or speak normally you damn geezer!"

Vice president Cradle was perhaps one of the nine in not just this entire school, but this entire world who dared to openly curse at him like this. 

Not even the emperor of Roxanna empire or other nations on par with them dared to ever even think of doing so.

'In the first place, most of the world saw him as a near boldly being that deserved respect and devotions only. Curing at someone so great? The common people wouldn't even think of doing so in their most curried sleeps.'

But for Cradle, he was just the old man that had taught her how to use her powers the right way, and, she respected him more than any being in this world.

Perhaps, this immense respect was the reason and her true nature was the reason she could be so open with him… he liked having the rare ones like her around him.

I know he cherished her much more than she did.

"How have you been?" President Zodiac asked with a smile while Cradle was handing the headmaster one of her most cherished things, a drop of gold collected in a special glass bottle born from a unique tree existing somewhere in this academy that only she could access.

'I know where this special 'tree' is but still, as I said, she is the only one that could access it, for now.'

It will change soon though.

"Hello SanSan~! Hello to you too Prez. I have been frustred becuse of a certain damned ring, but this bastard here had been having fun with my misery."

Her words were harsh, alright? 

I did loved seeing her struggle with that ring, but she was making progress with each day so I admired her as well.

And since that ring didn't even acknowledge me as worthy enough, I respected her even more.

'But seeing her fall to the ground was always fun, hehe-'

"See! This bastard is still laughing in his thoughts!"

"You shouldn't tease her like this, Eon. But what id so funny you can't stop laughing at it though?"

"This! This trash!"

She showed him her hand, the ring on her hand to be more precise, and the president and SanSan looked at the attractive ring for a moment before he looked down at SanSan on his shoulder and leaned closer to it so that SanSan could take a closer look at it.

"Ptssssssss…"

SanSan looked at the unique ring with his unique eyes and after a carful observation and a few licks at the artifact, his eyes widened with excitement.

"Ptssssss! Ptsssssss~!"

"He says-"

"That its tasty?"

"Yup."

President Zodiac looked at us with an awkward expression, but SanSan was now looking at the ring with an hungry look as if he had seen the most delicious delicacy in the world.

"You can have it SanSan! This trash is junk!"

-Ooooooooong!

She was just about to remove the ring but, the ring glowed with a purple-gold light, and vanished from her hand. 

"What the fuck? Where did it go?"

"Inside you. Hehe, dumdum. It was a semi-bound item when it belonged to that dumbfuck. Now it's a completely bound item so it can go inside you, or simply put, melt inside you. Hehehe, I told you it can do it just yesterday miss."

"Ughhhhhh! I can even get rid of it!"

SanSan now suddenly had a disappointed look, but president Zodiac patted his head and told him there are some things in this world, some very attractive things, that we couldn't have… such deep words.

"Ptsssssss…"

He looked sad for a moment, but he was The SanSan so, the look of sandess on him was only momentary.

"Ptsssssss~."

He soon recovered, looked at me in anticipation of the sweets I talked about the last time I saw them, and with a smile of my own, I took out a big box from my storage space.

"Ptssssssssss~! Ptssss~!"

"No need for thanks, hehe."

He was such a cutie~. No doubt Celes liked him so dearly~.

"Ahem. Can we get to the point if your little chat has finished?"

"Oh, yes headmaster."

Their little trade and the aftercurses seemed to have finished as well so, they were now standing there with a serious expression and, since we were done with our little thing as well, we walked before them and all of us sat down on the chairs, or the desks.

Cradle has this habit of sitting on the desk instead when we are in this office, so, she was on her place.

"I am terribly sorry to ask you this when you were going on a leave, however, if the matter was something I can leave to someone else, I would have done my best to manage without you two. 

However, seeing the seriousness of the situation, this isn't something I could possibly leave to someone incapable."

He was going to give us a new assignment as the student council members, and, this had to do with something that will happen during the Alchemy competition.

'He knew we were going there as not the students but as the official guests of the head of Principality, so, asking this to us was a difficult thing for him.'

But, I knew why he was doing it as well.

"I did receive some intel about some activity regarding the demonic humans and that you will be going to the other secret meeting that happens during the alchemy competition. But, seeing the look on your face, the intel seems to be cradible."

Another cult of demonic human was planning to cause some trouble and according to some of my sources, they were planning to target the third day where the most normal public would be gathered in the open place away from the competition grounds.

The intel wasn't certain however, seeing how headmaster was asking us to take care of this despite knowing our situation, I knew this was important.

"You alredy know?"

"I would like to get the context info of this 'source' of yours, Eon. You always seem to know practically everything that is going on around the world."

"I just have some good sources, Vice president. You prise me too much."

"No one's prising you, cheeky bastard."

The headmaster had his usual impressed expression and, President was also smiling like he usually does… but since this was about the demonic humans, just like Rein, he had an usually dark light present in his eyes.

"Are you sure you can take care of it along with the political issues you are going there for?"

"We will try our best, headmaster. Besides, we wont be alone there so we will always have some extra pair of hands."

"Hmm? Extra hands?"

I will have Miss Moon with us so she will perhaps have her first field training with me, Vice President Cradle's Mirror will be there as well, and, if they weren't enough, I can always just use the masters and grandmasters present in that place. They wouldn't mind lending a hand to eradicate some demon worshipers now would they?

"You don't have to worry about those cult bastards. We can deal with them."

He also had an important meeting to attend so he will be away in some secret corner of the world, so, it will be up to the four of us to deal with this small threat. 

Still though, I know we can deal with them.

"Then… let's talk about the details."

And, even if things don't go well, I had something useful that will at least prevent a large number of deaths at the very least…
