Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Holding a long pencil-like wand, which was commonly used by (Enchanters) to engrave a spell on the target, I looked at the arrow in my hand.

In this process, the languages used aren't important but, the one who is engraving the spells is.

To write the whole process on the target with limited space, either a huge amount of Mana or a very high level of understanding and imagination is required.

Knowing the basics, the amount of <Energy> in the spell, and harmony with each script or text is probably everything about [Enchanting].

'At least, I only know this much.'

All I have is myself in this one if I want to learn.

Not having a proper teacher is also frustrating.

Books about it are also limited to basics.

'Well, it's not like it is the main thing I will always be doing.

Once my [Mana Nucleus] level increases, I will be able to create (magic arrows) with spells.

Mainly being (tier-1) spells, I can't practice them now.'

That was why creating these Enchanted Arrows was the best task before my breakthrough.

They were good and used far less Mana than other spells.

If I become proficient enough, putting even a (tier-1) spell will be possible.

'And by (tier-1) spell, I mean something on that level.

I have limitless options when putting what will the object do when the appropriate mana is channeled.'

This will be an awesome thing if I can use arrows as a medium to cast a spell.

Just like what I was planning to do when using magic, I can make suitable arrows to practice perfect Magic archery.

'And I will do that only when I have the Mana conducting arrows!'

I really don't want to do this with primitive methods like this one again.

To see them struggling... is the last thing I want to do.

It's good that I coated many arrows beforehand.

'It is good enough to last at least 6 months if I include my magic practice and normal training time.'

"Huuu..."

Taking a deep breath, I started my first attempt.

With the little Mana I had right now and the limited trials I had, I decided to make the arrows strong enough to last a long time.

'Can I put more than one strengthening spell on one? Well, let's try putting one first.'

Placing the wand upon one of the arrows, I channeled my Mana.

Considering the space on the arrow's body I can, at maximum, put three (tier-0) or one (tier-1) spell on it.

The first one to practice was definitely the easy one.

I started writing the process needed to strengthen the body of an arrow.

This was a bit different from the usual strengthening spell I learned, which was a (tier-0) spell.

The body of a wooden arrow could be strengthened with much less mana.

As wood was part of a tree, which was an element of nature and different from the human body, strengthening it would just require the hardness of wood to grow to a different level.

―Process Mana through the target.

―Change and increase the hardness of the base material.

―Strengthen the base material.

The process was simple when first looked at and the result was also predictable.

I smiled brightly.

"Good. The first one failed. Now onto the next one."

I definitely knew that this one was going to fail.

It would have been a miracle if it did succeed.

What I was trying to do was different from the normal Enchantment process.

If it was ok to do it my way, then I would definitely do just that.

The balance of Mana between each text was also a bit different.

To master one enchant, I will have to do it many times to find a perfect balance of Mana.

'And, thanks to my blessed memory, just doing it perfectly for once will be enough to [Memories] it.'

So, I tried it again. It was a good Mana control training too.

I tried it again and again and again.

Throughout the whole night, I repeated the whole process until only one forth of my Mana was left.

***

Sun was rising from the horizon.

The light of the stars and the beautiful shining blue moon were slowly fading in the sky.

The beautifully raising orange morning sun was clearly visible from my window.

With dark circles under my eyes, which were glowing by the light of the rising sun, and the sparkling golden-blond hair, I was almost about to fall from exhaustion.

But, there was a bright smile on my face.

"Finally!''

Taking a few steps back, I slowly sat down on my bed.

Looking at the normal-looking arrow which was the same as the rest beside it, a triumphant smile appeared on my face.

"It is now 20% more strong and its hardness has increased to a whole new level.

Though it can be as good as steel, it will require more than one (tier-1) spell."

Strengthening or Enhancement is one of the main series in magic so the options are very diverse to explore.

Some high-level spells could enhance the body to the level of diamond if needed.

But those spells don't have to be that high level to use as enchantments.

If I increase the level of my Mana nucleus to, maybe... (tier-5), I will be able to change the molecular structure of an element.

'It's just a speculation and only possible in theory. But... I love this thing called magic!'

It was hard to learn but the fun of learning is something that someone like me, who has been in a world totally devoid of magic, can understand.

'Possibilities could be endless...'

I thought as I closed my eyes to take a small nap.

I had worked hard, I deserved it.

The Mana I used should get refilled to at least halfway through before I weak up.

*

"Hwaaaaaaaa~"

With a loud yawn, rubbing my eyes, I got up from my bed.

Looking at the side of the room where a large, vintage wooden clock was standing, I squinted my eyes.

[2:40]

Though time measurement was the same in this world as 24 Hrs', unlike my previous world where a year was 365 days this world had 369 days.

Almost the same, so to say.

Getting up from my bed, I looked around the room.

It was cleaned up. Dad must have cleaned it while I was asleep.

This means mom knows that I was awake the whole night... maybe.

'Let's hope I get off with some lite punishment.'

On that thought, my sleep totally vanished.

Taking a small shower, I changed my clothes and started to walk downstairs.

"Oh! I almost forgot about this."

Running back into my room, I grabbed the arrow that I spend my whole night working.

I wasn't going to use this one.

I walked downstairs and entered straight into the kitchen.

Mom was sitting on a chair while dad was preparing lunch while wearing his usual pink apron.

Seeing me enter the kitchen a creepy bright smile appeared on mom's sweet face.

Dad, on the other hand, looked, at me with a surprised expression.

"Eon. You should have rested some more! Weren't you awake all night!" He shouted with a big spoon in his hand.

He looked very funny when he said that.

Just imagine a big handsome man holding a spoon, dressed in a pink apron.

But, I managed to stop myself from bursting out laughing.

"Dad! Here. It's for you.

This is the first one I made!"

Holding out the arrow I made, I smiled brightly.

It was my first Enchanted arrow. My very first step toward achieving a difficult goal.

He knew this, as a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"W-what? Eon should keep it! Don't give it t-to me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, I had put the arrow in his free hand.

"If not for dad's help, I wouldn't be able to make it in the first place.

And, it's a thank you. For everything, you do every day.

It has to be yours."

I was genuinely happy and thankful to him. He was just amazing.

Mom, watching us from the sidelines, smiled happily and teased with a mischievous tone.

"Honey~, if you don't want it, Eon will give it to me~."

She blinked in my direction. I understood her intention and played along with a smile.

"Yes! I will give this to mom."

He instantly took the arrow and put it away in his (item box).

Looking at us with an embarrassed look, He shouted.

"No! You gave it to me, so I will cherish it forever!"

Smiling happily, I nodded my head.

Then we heard mom's sad voice.

"It looks like only dad gets a special gift, huh? Is it because Eon loves dad more than me~?"

I instinctively retorted with a worried expression.

"N-no! Mom is as good as dad. You are both the best!

I will be making something else for mom!"

I knew she was just teasing me but, I can't help it.

'I already had something on my mind for mom but it would take some time.'

"I'm thinking of something more special for mom."

A satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Oh~? Something special?"

"Yes. But, it will take some time to be ready."

"Then I have no choice but to wait patiently..."

She was more cheerful for some reason as she looked at both of us.

"Eon..."

Dad was going to say something but stopped.

Sniffling for a moment a horrified expression appeared on his face.

Mom and I were confused too. There was a smell of something burning...

"Dad!"

I suddenly remembered and looked at the soup that was now burning in the pot.

"W-a-aaaa!"

Dad instinctively created a large ball of water and it fell on the burning pot.

The water fell and the fire was put out. But...

"Khu, hahaha..."

Dad and I were absolutely soaked by the large waterfall.

Mom tried to hold back her laughter but, we looked just that funny right now.

This continued until dad dried both of us with a warm wind and we gave her a silent stare.

Dad had a somewhat crying look.

Sitting down, I tried my best to maintain my straight face.

Even I wanted to cry right now.

This day would be a memorable one for all of us.
