The explosion was loud, the crater it created was deep, and I was laying in this deep crate of scorched ground, smiling with admiration-filled eyes…
The spell was strong, and my barrier had barely but surely blocked it.
It definitely blocked an attack and destruction-focused magic from an archmage.
And I couldn't believe just how strong I had to be to pull off sothing like this.
An archmage. There were only three in this world and even in those three, the strongest one was before , testing my prowess.
And this defensive power surely pleased him enough to make him applause like he was doing right now, with that genuine, wise smile on his face.
I couldn't see my family's reaction with the third eye, but I knew they were speechless by this display of strength.
I had canceled the third eye before so it was now on hold and as I thought before… that ability can actually travel through the barriers around this arena.
This was amazing but even more amazing that mom, grandpa, and even Rein had a proud and admiration-filled face and they were acting like they had seen sothing unreal just now.
And when I saw them after a while of settling down in this crater, I couldn't help but shake my head at those amazing people.
Well, of course, this was unreal.
A re not twelve-year-old (tier-3) mage boy blocking a serious attack from an archmage?
It was unreal, and not many could actually block such a spell, much less a child.
Just this much was enough to show how much strength I was, but it was still all thanks to the one who taught .
One who told I had the power to use such power and taught from the ground and even though I was still lacking a lot, I was happy I was at least this strong.
This life was dear to and having strength in crazy situations like this was the only way for to actually survive so crazy situations that will surely knock at the doors of my life.
Though even Carla or Alf would at least have survived that one, they wouldn't have been unscratched like .
This was just that amazing... and now it was my turn.
Standing up and ignoring the reactions of my family, I looked at the person before with a smile.
And he smiled back as he started speaking in a different manner than before.
"You are amazing, young Eon. It's just miraculous to see that unscratched self.
That energy, can I have its na?" He asked with a genuine smile and this ti, there was no hidden motive in those words.
He was impressed…
And I was overjoyed to hear those praises from soone like him.
He was an amazing person.
And when this day started with Rein and my terrace tea and talk, I never thought that I would be standing before one of the strongest like this.
And he was praising . What can say now?
"It's actually an honor to receive such great praise from soone like you, headmaster. And it's all thanks to my master that I'm even strong enough to be here.
As for this special energy, we call it Solnova. The special energy is almost equal to Aether and Mana in terms of environntal density and although this is far thinner than even Mana, in the thods we store this in the body, it almost fits in the entire body.
It's amazing, but that's all I can say about it"
Revealing too much data was just disadvantageous, even if I trusted this person before unconditionally.
And he understood that much as he just nodded and smiled at .
And I sighed… a deep sigh and a look of excitent.
"It's my turn now, headmaster."
With a confident look and fire in my eyes, I took out a blue bow from my white crack.
A bow that looked exceptional, and just from the look, one could tell this was no simple weapon.
The special dense Mana around it was also special and the yellow enchantnts on the bow were enough to tell that this bow was made from high-level materials.
The crafting, the texture, the green string that looked immovable at a glance but… in my hands, it was just a normal bow.
Made with a [Deep sea shark]'s essence as its core, the bow decreased the Mana, concentration, and stamina consumption of water-type spells.
It was a (level-9) like my previous bow but, this one was far stronger than that one.
That one had no special skill like [Currant channeling] this one had, and the reason I took out this particular bow this ti was simply to attack with so pretty aweso spell casting thod.
"It's a marvelous bow, young boy. But rember… I won't wait like last ti when you finish this attack.
So, get ready and prepare right now if you want sothing else.
The two next spells from will be faster, and consecutive, and I will only wait when I am done with those two.
I know you also understand what I want to see."
He smirked with the sa smirk I had seen a while back but, this ti, I also smirked back at him.
"Thanks for informing , dear headmaster."
Bowing respectfully, I took out Asta, and as soon as his eyes fell on her; they widened like the ti I told him about the land.
And that surprise was genuine, just like the one before.
"T-that one? Was your master also the one who made it?" His voice was hesitant and the look in his eyes was unbelievable.
Rein was the only one before him who actually knew the worth of this weapon for now, but Asta was far more than just so normal weapon.
And only he, soone who can see almost anything not restricted by the world, with his world authority, could actually know the true worth of Asta.
She was closest to the strongest ones, [[(Soul Armants)]], and this one, if I could say it, I would call Asta a [Noble Artifact].
Sothing stronger than any artifact there could but not like a [Divine Artifact].
Well, Asta was surely stronger than any actual divine artifact, but not in terms of materialistic strength.
Not in terms of hardness, the power it carried, or intelligence.
Though the it had was just as good as a divine artifact's… the ability to learn that Asta had was like no other.
A weapon that could store the enchantnts, trigger them at the command, and beco far more than just a divine artifact in an actual fight.
And luckily, I had her for a while now, and she was a cute one.
She was almost like a little golden kitty and although she had the understanding many tis better than the normal cats, Asta was a spectacular weapon.
And indeed, my dear master was the one who made her.
Looking down at my hands and at this weapon that resembled her tail feathers, I sighed deeply and kissed the red gem on its handle end.
-Veeeeee~.
And she was happy after that kiss, so she answered like a low vibration that only I could feel.
I understood this partner weapon of mine, and similarly, she understood , just like Celes.
This connection we had was different from a pact or oath. We just had this connection of master and weapon that only a highly experienced knight could have with their partner weapon.
And deep inside , Ronna was angry again that I had to use sothing other than her.
She was a special one, and unlike the other [[(Soul Armants)]], Ronna can change her form and I can use her whenever I wanted.
It would be up to how much power I wanted to exert on her, unlike any other ones like her.
Do I want to just scratch the enemies, or destroy the entire armies and cause genocides?
She was special because she can do that, and I can only do that when I will be strong enough to use her.
But that ti was still far away. And I had a test to finish.
Nodding with watery eyes that appeared just because I was reminded of her, I answered with a heavy nod.
"Master made her. And she is aweso, right? I'm lucky I found a partner this early, and if it is soone like this cute one, I know I won't have anything to worry about for the rest of my life~."
My words were genuine, and I was really happy to have Asta.
He understood just how good it felt to have a partner you can give your hundred percent with, and his partner, the one inside him, was also sothing special.
That wand... was far more than just so weapon or rod.
From just how much Zoe admired it, it was clear just how magnificent existence that was.
Maybe, if soday fate allows it, I will be able to see it with my own eyes, too.
It would be a nice experience and just like that, I was looking forward to being able to manifest Ronna, too.
Well, this test cos first. I had everything I needed to get stronger. And the only thing I will need and have is... ti.
It will take a while, but before I beco an adult and join the academy for real, I knew I will be a bit stronger than I am now.
And for that, I have to finish this test first.
"Haaa... let's finish this now, without much delay."
My eyes sharpened with a smile and I moved back with a [Quickstep] and pulled back the bowstring while channeling a large amount of Mana as well as Solnova.
A grin appeared on his face too because of the sudden rise in pressure and he knew from this one, the attack won't be sothing boring.
Asta was now dug into the ground and two magic circles had appeared on the ground and above the red heart like a gem of its body.
"Huuu..." Breathing deeply, I rembered the scripted spells inside my head. Selecting the most water, fog, and ice attribute spells I could, I released a significant amount of Mana from my Mana core.
The spells I had scripted were almost countless, and right now, I had just selected so hundreds of (tier-1) arrow spells.
The string that I pulled backward started resonating at this and the increased pressure in the surrounding started condensing around .
But as this pressure that only he could feel right now gathered around and cald down it… just beca one with .
This was control over the energy, one of my specialties that blocked or utilized any excess energy and channeled that into the ongoing spell chant.
This surprised him even more, and now… he was serious about whatever was coming his way.
It was going to be exciting, and I wanted to see just how an archmage would defend against hundreds of arrow spells.
There was a smile on my face, a blue blaze on the pulled-back bowstring, the serene energy throughout my body, and the spells were ready...
