Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Rein's POV: ]

"The lunch was more fun than usual today… wonder if it was because of the bastards and bitches that got humiliated, or if it was because of the pure new cuties that joined us."

Many new faces had joined us for lunch today and we all knew that number was going to go down significantly tomorrow.

"It's a little of both, I'd say. You had fun with the new ones, and you had fun making fun of the ones that spoke out of line.

The others had fun watching you and the others, and the others who also made fun of them over little things and the way ultimately the topic of them having free lunch with commoners came up was the true spice of the story.

You wanna see how you were ginning at them?"

We were in our dorm right now, and… he was smiling at me with that still glowing body of his.

"No. I know how I smile, so that aside…"

There were no lights currently on right now in this little hall room of ours but thanks to the skillful body that was still glowing, he was illuminating the entire place pretty well.

"How about you keep this? You look fun this way, hehe."

The headmaster couldn't figure out how to subdue these lights and even after an entire day, he was still shining the same way as he did yesterday.

'He got through the school thanks to Anna and headmaster's illusion magic, but he was still the same lightbulb that he was yesterday.'

The skills present all around his body were still glowing in their own unique colours and since I had these special eyes, I could see more than just their colours.

"You like seeing me suffer, don't you?"

"Of course I don't. And don't even think I'm becoming more like mother Nol. If that was the case, you would be tied by a role and I would be eating You instead of these delicious things you make."

"I think you're already becoming like her… not that I hate it."

"Hmm? What was that last thing? You don't hate it? You mean you like me wanting you to be a shining light blue for the rest of your life? Or…"

The table stood between us or else I would have jumped on him and then the dinner would have gone cold.

"Do you want me to be like mother Nol?"

"Of course I don't."

"Why? You don't love me like father Ien?"

"I love you better."

I saw how a shiver went down his spine when he thought about how it would be like being in the same position as his dad.

We certainly liked trying various things but we were still comparatively normal. His two great parents though, were quite something.

"Hehe. I like these lights."

His skills were still in conflict and though it was not visible to the rest of them, I could see how the skill was slowly coming to terms with one another.

'It was a very unique thing.'

He had one innate skill, he was an advanced Origin skill possessor, and on top of that, he was someone with a good number of unique skills that were either very rare or were one of a kind in this entire world.

All the skills aside from the last one he had was something he got from his mom as presents, and when he had only these skills, all the other skills were in perfect harmony.

However, when the Draconian skill was added, the other skills came together and stood before it as a guard.

'It was like a council of elders standing before a newcomer.'

The other skills were confronting the new skill and were testing it in various ways. They were seeing if having it among their 'group' would cause the host any kind of harm or not.

They gathered, opposed it, 'asked' it what it was doing here and why such a powerful force was taking so much of space on his body, and just like elders arguing with a newcomer, they were having arguments among themselves and with the new Skill itself over why they should let it stay with them.

'It was almost like these skills were all alive and knew what they were doing.'

Though, it wasn't actually the case. There were skills with ego perhaps but no skill had its own consciousness to know what was happening around its environment.

'His 'special skill' might be the only exception to that rule.'

Even the wisdom pinnacle or any other special skill didn't have anything like a will of their own according to what I know.

Skills were skills. Magical abilities that had certain functions that were triggered by the will of their possessors.

'There was nothing much to them.'

But what I was seeing gave me conflicting feelings about the knowledge I had about them.

"You are pretty. And with those, you look prettier."

As the headmaster had figured out, the thing happening with his body was unique and was a natural process that would go away on its own soon. And according to what I could see, it should happen by the end of tomorrow.

So, it means I only had a little time with this lightbulb darling of mine.

"Stop that, you won't even be able to see me blush with these things."

"Hahaha, I will just feel that blush of yours then."

There was no need for him to be shy from just these simple words of mine when he himself threw curveball-like lines at me every so often.

Him being unpredictable with his flirting was his thing but he was falling for the things that I was saying over this candlelight dinner?

That wasn't fair now, was it?

"Haaa… let's finish this quickly."

The lights were bright but not too bright. They were pretty romantic and, since tonight might be the last time I see them, I didn't want to miss this chance.

"That look you have is dangerous, Rein-."

"Uriel. It's Uriel, here."

"Right…"

He knew what I wanted.

He knew it very well since he wanted to do it more than I did.

"Do you want anything?"

Looking up at me with an almost empty plate, he matched the look I had in my eyes.

"Yup."

Words weren't really needed between us, this eye content was more than enough to know what he was thinking and he knew better than myself just what I was thinking and what I wanted.

He was good earlier when those bastards gathered in our lunch place.

With Lizzy's suggestion, he used them in a unique way.

'He first fed them his amazing cooking and when they were almost addicted to it, he asked if they wanted seconds.'

He used the common people among them, incited a few of them with special non-verbal techniques, and sparked a little conflict between the groups that were actually close with one another.

'Then when there was a conflict, he pressed the paining nerve and brought up the topic of freedom.'

We talked about how the commoners among them and the adventurers that don't have to listen to anyone have free wills.

He emphasised how there are people or individuals in this world that are ungrateful for the lives they have and think what they have is all there is when in all actuality, they are only the frogs trapped in a well.

'The conversation we had over lunch today was fun.'

Very fun if I say so myself.

The most fun part in it being the almost crying, tearful faces of the individuals that were pressuring the pure individuals among us to join us.

There were a good number of fun things that happened today, including the things that we did during the personal classes after lunch.

'The Alchemy class was super fun today with Mia being the star of the day.'

It was a great day well spent on fun things.

"Let's go."

"Where?"

I finished everything on my plate… as our unwritten rules said we should.

"To the venue where you will serve me the dessert."

And since he was already done with everything on his plate, I didn't have to ask for his consent this time.

"Let's go…"

I stood up, walked before him, asked him for his hand… and when he accepted it with a smile that knew all that was going to happen from that point on, I used my shadow movement skill and moved both of us inside the bedroom.

Today… the night was going to be long.

And there will be colourful lights with us.

His colourful lights.

That were everywhere… everywhere on his body.

"Don't think I'm going to let you do-."

"Yes, yes. Less talking, more undressing. Here, help me out with this thing."

Mana clothing was convenient, but there were a few things that Mana clothing couldn't replicate as perfectly as the real thing.

"Mmmmm…"

Touch, sight, smell, taste, and sound… the five basic modes of perception were only the basic ones for a reason.

They were ordinary, there was mind and consciousness, but that was only a characteristic of mind so, it was also ordinary.

There were extraordinary ones, many that were only a little part of the original ones… but for two birds in love under the moonlight, only one of them mattered.

"Shall I…?"

"Please…"

Presence was a mode of perception often only used by those with higher, sharper senses.

Mostly beasts, or hunters, or the ones who had experienced various difficulties in their lives.

But, even though often forgotten, it was an inseparable mode of perception among individuals in love.

"Mmmm~."

Some kinds of presence were too sweet to not get addicted to.

'It would actually be a sin to ignore them, I'd say.'
