Archer quickly cald down Nefertiti with a hug and sweet words. Afterward, he walked over to the others.
Sera was still asleep, but Ella, Teuila, and Hera were speaking about the giants and Rat-lings.
He approached the girls and addressed the sun elf. "Hera, what's happening in your empire? Why are there Rat-lings and other creatures running wild?"
She looked at him and smiled before responding. "I'm not sure. I ca out here to complete a test with my academy, and that's when I saw you fighting the giant."
Archer nodded in response, and that's when he heard Teuila saying, "These creatures are disgusting."
Everyone agreed. Archer turned to Hera and asked, "Where are you going next?"
The golden-haired girl turned to Archer with a smile and spoke to him, saying, "I need to find my friends. I left them to co and help you."
Archer smiled and replied, "We will help you find them, as I owe you for helping ."
Smiling at his words, the group set off, moving forward together. During their walk, Archer and Hera delved into a conversation about spellbooks.
When he ntioned his growing collection of spellbooks, the sun elf beca excited and expressed her desire to see them.
Archer promised that one day she would get the opportunity.
While they were walking, Hera turned to him and asked, "Would you like to test out a spell I created a while back? I haven't had the chance to learn it yet, but you can be the first."
Archer smiled as she handed him a book, which he took a look at before placing it into his Item Box.
After doing that, they continued on through the forest, their steps quieted by the thick trees and leaves.
They followed the elf's directions, searching for injured students from her academy affected by the battle with the Giants and Rat-lings.
Hera, Teuila, and Ella assisted the students while Archer and Nefertiti kept watch, with Sera in his arms.
She soon woke up, taking in the scene of injured students gathering and waiting for help from the girls.
Archer set her down and entered a portal to the library. He retrieved a book he had previously bought in Vassia City and began reading it.
Ten minutes later, a notification appeared.
[Cure Wounds Learned]
Smiling as he saw the notification. He approached a group of injured students and started healing them.
Moving from one group to another, he healed anyone he ca across. The two girls he had left behind were watching his actions.
Nefertiti watched him attentively as she spoke to Sera, "He just learned that spell? But how? It takes days to learn one, yet he did it in minutes."
Sera's face lit up with a grin as she provided an explanation. "Let explain. He's not just any dragon. He's a white dragon, often referred to as a mana dragon. These dragons are special because they embody mana itself, which is the fundantal essence of magic."
Upon hearing the redhead's words about him, Nefertiti realized just how special he was and how many people would seek to have him on their side.
Determined to protect him, she swore to herself that she would kill anyone who dared to bring harm to him.
Lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard a sound from behind and turned around to see a group of girls erging from the forest.
The girls scanned their surroundings and spotted Hera tending to injured students. Covered in cuts and bruises from their own battles, they made their way toward her.
She spotted them and rushed over to the girls and tried casting her healing spells but was out of mana and felt faint.
Recognizing the need for healing, she rushed over to Archer, explaining that her mana was running low, and asked for his help. "Archer, could you please heal my friends? My mana is gone and I need to rest."
Archer nodded in understanding and approached the group. Before he left her he handed Hera a few mana potions, which she gratefully accepted.
Drinking two of the potions, she stored the last one in her bag. With renewed energy, Hera followed after Archer who started to attend to her injured friends.
He cast Cure Wounds on each girl, causing their cuts and bruises to vanish. They were shocked but overjoyed to find their pain relieved.
They expressed their gratitude to him, but he simply nodded in response before turning to help anyone else that needed it.
After assisting most of the students, Archer beca aware of a significant group of people approaching.
As he finished helping the students, he turned around and caught sight of a group of heavily ard soldiers erging from the forest.
They were making their way toward Hera. She greeted them with a smile and noticed a group of teachers following behind who started attending to the students.
The soldiers knelt as their commander addressed her, "Princess, the Emperor has ordered us to bring you back to the capital."
Archer started to listen to the commander speak but to not look like he was eavesdropping he pulled out the spellbook Hera had given him and began reading it.
Ella and the other girls soon approached him, and Teuila was the first to speak. "What are you reading, Arch?"
''A spellbook that Hera lent '' He answered without taking his eyes off the book. After ten minutes, he finished reading and put it away as a notification appeared.
[Analyze Skill Learned ]
Archer's eyes widened as he looked at Teuila and used his new Analyze skill on her.
[Na: Teuila Aquaria]
[Age: 17]
[Rank: Adept]
His excitent grew as he realized how useful this skill would be. So he proceeded to Analyze Ella first.
[Na: Ella]I think you should take a look at
[Race: High-Elf/Human]
[Age: 16]
[Rank: Apprentice]
After analyzing her, he turned his attention to the other girls and started to scan each one without them noticing.
[Na: Sera]
[Race: Fairy Dragon]
[Age: 19]
[Rank: Expert]
[Na: Nefertiti]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 18]
[Rank: Adept]
[Na: Hera Helios]
[Race: Sun Elf]
[Age: 45]
[Rank: Expert]
That's when he heard Ella's voice talking to him quietly with a red face. ''Arch, when we did you know what, It left so sort of tattoo on .''
As he heard Ella's words, Archer beca curious. "Show , El, and I'm sorry."
Ella smiled and replied, "No need to be sorry. I actually love it, to be honest."
She lifted up her armor and shirt, revealing a little white dragon tattoo on her stomach. It was simple yet beautiful. Archer reached down and touched it, causing a shock to run through both of them.
Confused but soon forgetting about the sensation, they were interrupted by the approach of Teuila, Nefertiti, and Sera.
Ella quickly concealed the tattoo and turned to them with a smile, while Teuila spoke, "No more of those Rat things have appeared. We better keep moving."
He agreed and made his way toward Hera, who was conversing with the three girls and the commander.
As they approached, she spotted Archer and walked over to him, accompanied by the three girls.
She introduced them, all while being observed by the pink-haired princess who seed angry and vigilant toward Archer.
"These are my classmates, Eleni, Helen, and Ariadne," Hera said, gesturing to the girls. "We took the test together."
Archer nodded at the three girls with a smile and said hello. However, his attention soon returned to Hera's captivating golden eyes, which were fixed on him.
Noticing a smile forming on her face and hearing Nefertiti's happy humming, Archer felt a sense of excitent as he sensed the girl's jealousy.
The group started following the soldiers who were escorting them back to the academy carriages.
As they walked, Archer decided to analyze the commander to get an idea of the average status.
[Na: Dimitrios Ioannou]
[Age: 117]
[Rank: Master]
He proceeded to analyze a random soldier.
[Na: Kostopoulos]
[Age: 87]
[Rank: Adept]
Realizing that he needed to level up his skill to gather more detailed information, Archer was still satisfied with what he had discovered so far.
Hera walked beside him and began discussing the spellbook she lent to him. Observing this, Nefertiti rushed towards Archer's other side.
The group walked alongside the soldiers, teachers, and students as they headed toward the academy carriages.
The forest air was filled with a sense of tension and vigilance. Archer noticed the gaze of people around him, including a group of students conversing eagerly with teachers.
Feeling a slight unease from the scrutinizing stares, Archer's attention shifted when Hera kindly invited him and the girls to join her in her carriage.
They all piled into her carriage with her three friends, Ella and Sera, vying to sit next to Archer.
Nefertiti sat down with a huff while Sera cast an increasingly lustful gaze at him, addressing Teuila, "Teuila, you better hurry up before I take your place."
Teuila looked at her with narrowed eyes before replaying. ''No, you won't.''
Sera stuck her tongue out at the blue-haired girl making the others laugh at their antics.
