[Eon's POV: ]
Yesterday was our first day together and on this fine morning, we were finally starting the actual work.
"Tell me about your skills."
"The skills that I have or including my Origin skills."
"Tell me everything you can, let's brainstorm a few things."
"You do realise that isn't going to be that useful, right?"
We were back to the garden that we had been to yesterday, but instead of the edge of the island, we were standing in the middle of the fruit forest, eating some fresh fruits directly picked from the trees.
"Well, I don't doubt your analysis abilities. But my experience might still be somewhat useful, right?"
He was my mentor and I still haven't figured out how he was going to teach me.
"Hmmm..."
But, well, since we are talking about being able to create a new archery technique from scratch, his experience might certainly be of some help.
"Well, sure."
I went ahead and told him about the skills I possessed along with the Origin skills and how I used them usually.
"So, you still couldn't use your main Origin skill?"
"Nope."
And though the skills that I had surprised him, the fact that I still could not use my main Origin skill surprised him even more.
"That's... well, nothing we can do about it. It seems to be a natural Confinement."
"Natural... what?"
He definitely said something, but I didn't hear it. Which means I could not hear it, which again means I am not permitted to hear that simple sounding thing despite my many authorities.
"Oh? You didn't hear that? Seems like nature really is the one blocking your skill."
He smirked while taking another bite of his fruit and then, after finishing the last bit of it, he jumped down from the tree where we had been sitting on, and finding an appropriate spot, he buried the seeds of the fruit in the ground.
"Alright. That much should be enough. Let's go somewhere else."
Jumping down from the tall tree branch, I followed behind him as well and then, we climbed up another tree.
"I'm a pure archer so besides the general skills, bow-arrow techniques, and aura applications, I don't know much about your special skills."
This time, we weren't eating anything but instead, there was a nest of birds on this tree and he was observing the bird mother feeding her children.
"Though, what I can come up with just this is limited.
Tell me what you have thought up until now."
"What I've thought up? Teacher that..."
I had Lucy and my memory was unique so there were a lot of things that I've already thought about and scratched off as something impossible, something dumb, and something that wouldn't work.
He did not impose his beliefs on the others, and just like right now, he enlightened others of their misconceptions about the world that we live in.
"Creation is a process that deviates from the predetermined rules sometimes under the influence of various laws, flows, and environmental factors.
And when that happens, Those maddened by the corruption, those who have lost their identity, as well as poor ones like this one are born."
This little bird must have been in constant pain as the extra leg was almost piercing his other leg.
It was stopping his growth and if that had continued like that, this little one might not have survived for long— like the many mutant creatures that just end up dying before even reaching halfway to their final lifespans.
These creatures were not that rare, but they certainly were uncommon beings so people don't pat that much attention to them.
"You cut the nerves connecting the leg."
"I cannot cut the entire leg, it will be painful for the little one.
However, this should at least relieve the pain for a few years and boost his growth.
After a few weeks when it's recovered a little, we shall relieve it of this extra limb."
I don't understand if there was any reason behind why he was doing this or why he was telling all these things to me.
We were here for training and our time was still limited, but we were caring about a little bird...
"I'll help as well."
"Of course you will. The 'we' I used referred to the two of us."
I don't know how he found this little one or why he helped it, but, he did it, and it was a nice thing to do.
"Alright."
Taking the little fellow from my hands and gently placing it back to its nest beside its mom, we said our goodbyes to the little bird family and jumped down from the tree.
And, moved on to the new tree that... contained a beehive.
"You're acquainted with the Queen, right? Do you have her proof?"
"Proof of the Queen? Well, we do see her now and then but... there's nothing that-."
"You don't know much about the Queen of these bees either, hun?"
"Hmmm?"
The blue honeybees that were unique to the academy were unexpectedly present here as well, and, from the looks of it, the nest that they had on this tree was directly connected with the nest present in the academy garden.
"Well, if you have met the Queen more than a few times, it means you already have her favour and you don't need anything like a proof of connection with the (Ruler of the blue moonlight)."
It seems like our next destination will be the nest of the blue honey bees. Stay connected with m-v l|e'-novelhall.net
And...
'From the look this 'teacher' of mine has on his face, it doesn't seem like he is up to any good.'
He's definitely cooking something up.
And whatever it might be, it's definitely no good.
