Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[OP: ]

The children had gone to their home or were in their dorms during the participants of the annual alchemy competition went to Lakmer.

It was only going to be a break of around four days however, due to everything happening in Lakmer, they had to prolong the vacation… something certainly the students who were back home enjoyed however for those who were still at the academy, it wasn't a very fun holiday.

They had to be limited to the academy premises since there was a chaotic atmosphere outside all around the sky island.

And, even if some of them were adventurers, they couldn't enjoy the hunting season.

It was winter in the outside world so even though the weather stayed the same on the island, half of the world was enjoying the cold.

There was a good amount of creatures available for hunting so they would have earned a good amount if they had gone out to hunt even in the safe areas.

But, even they knew the atmosphere wasn't right.

Everything that happened in Lakmer caused not only an uproar, things were particularly chaotic on the sky island, one of the main centres of the entire world's most powerful organisations.

The Adventurer's association, the Mage towers and unions, the diplomatic unions of various nations, and other places had their management headquarters on this island.

"Uriel~! Lucifer~! It's so good to finally see you again!"

"We missed you, you know?"

"You know, we went to Heliox house!"

Things were chaotic for all the island folks and the students didn't get the chance to get out of the academy either because of all the things that were going on since the last few days.

They were happy when their holidays started; however, the last few days had been more chaotic than anything they had seen on this island.

However, thanks to the continued presence of the teachers and their headmasters, things went back to normal sooner than they would have.

"Yes, yes. Let's sit down first, shall we?"

They were back now, and school was starting with all of them back.

{ "Oy. Be quiet. You aren't new here anymore. Act like the students of this great institution." }

Their vice president was as strict as ever, and, for the ones who had seen her outside the academy, this usual side of hers was a refreshing sight.

"She was completely different when we met her at Heliox estate. She played with us, laughed, smiled more than she ever has, and she didn't even use that many curse words.

She was being careful as well, and she looked pretty in that pretty dress."

"She looked good with the president as well. I wonder if the two of them are-"

"Nah. Vice president isn't interested in boys."

Cradle's preference is something half of the ladies of this school knew already since many of them had already spent some good time with her.

They knew she was a more charming and attractive person than most other boys of their academy, and she took good care of them.

{ "Ahem. Please be quiet everyone. The headmaster will be here soon so let us all thank him for his hard work during the time of difficulties." }

They had gathered in the same conference hall where they had their inauguration ceremony so they were familiar with this place and apparently, many of them were sitting in the same places they did during their first inauguration.

They were talking, chatting, greeting their friends as many of them were seeing them after a while now and those who were part of the groups that had went to Lakmer with their houses were telling the others stories about their experiences in that place.

Which was certainly stories that their friends were enjoying quite well.

Along with the stories, many of them were even sharing footage's recorded in special devices or Maginet and some were even selling copies of some of the events from that time.

"Shuuu. Sit down Tia… not in my head. Sit in your place."

"This is my place though, hahaha~."

The group of the house captains was sitting together this time.

It wasn't just Uriel, Lucifer, Quin, and Med this time.

Titania, her two vice captains, Miss Mia, and the others who were with them at Lakmer and at the house of Heliox were also present around them.

Ezra, Hide, and the newly engaged couple JenGin were around them as well.

The atmosphere in this place was more cheerful than the teachers down at the stage had expected, however, seeing their students in that state was much better than what they might have been a few days ago.

"The teachers look exhausted for some reason, no?"

"They were working all this time, of course they would look exhausted. Perhaps the reason we are having this ceremony right before the weekend is also to give them the rest they need."

Med knew what it was like over here even though she was not present here herself.

The reports she received from the workers of her new shops that were soon going to be open to the public had recorded and reported many things and happenings on the island to her.

She knew already just what kind of things had been happening over here and what the teachers were doing to calm them, to calm the people and the ones that were unnecessarily acting up.

She was one of the few people who knew the internal situation that wasn't known to the public, and she admired their teachers for all that they had done just so the students here could have a positive experience when they were back.

{ "Alright, settle down everyone. And thank you, you two." }

Their headmaster appeared out of nowhere, and the room lost all the vices, all the sound that was present in there.

-Ooooooooooong!

The teachers were already standing on the wooden stage while their vice headmaster was waiting just below the stage, looking at the students who were making too much noise.

The student council members who were still present on the island were finishing their own tasks over the past few days as well, and they had done a good job in it.

They were also the reason their presidents could take some time for themselves before getting engaged in a new bunch of tasks.

{ "Welcome back, everyone." }

There were still a lot of things happening all over the island just like the rest of the world, and they still had to deal with the things that weren't possible with the strength of only a few of them.

The island was a big place and some of the tasks required the expertise of some certain people, so now that they were all here, the complete cleanup can start now.

{ "It's a warm sight seeing you all safe and well again." }

The headmaster was at an important conference that was happening between higher authorities of the world when they informed him about the situation at Lakmer.

He was stunned since he had hardly ever faced a situation such as this one in his centuries of life.

He could not believe the kind of preparation those people had made for that one attack. The way they were so organised also didn't make any sense to him.

{ "Haaaa…" }

Last few days had been more difficult for him than anyone else in this world.

He was one of the most powerful central authorities of this world that was solely responsible for not only the academy but also the entire sky island.

He had power greater than anyone else and that power was attached with many responsibilities.

He had to take care of all the matters related to the international disputes since the matters this time concerned the entire world's stability.

There was a new power preparing for the next attack in some dark corner of this world and any country could be their targets.

No one was safe if even the blessed lands of Lakmer were so thoroughly infiltrated.

Even the magic nations, smaller countries, and central powers like theocracy felt the threat that was coming their way.

And as a way to handle all of this, the preparations for the Grand conference were also on the way.

He was busy at the moment, had practically no time to spare even for the academy work, that was the main reason he had to leave all his work here to the student council.

It wasn't easy maintaining this big of an academy with these thousands of students on their own, but they were the best of the bests of this world.

With the help of their presidents, he knew they would do a good enough job that he wouldn't have to worry about them, or the academy.

There was still some time left for the grand conference and he knew the tension would increase after this conference had been held, so he was preparing for that as well.

There was a tension in the winds and those in power were becoming restless with each passing day.

{ "Well, how have my dear students been? Did you enjoy the holidays~?" }

Thankfully, since he wasn't going to be the one to lead this conference or the one to present the grave matter to the rest of the conference, he had one less thing to prepare for.

{ "What do you say? Should we take the attendance?" }

"Hmm?"

He was the headmaster of this institution but, sadly, he will have to be away from here for a few days.

And in the time he was away, the students and teachers would have to look after one another themselves.

"Ptfff."

"That was a joke, wasn't it?"

"Hehe."

But he trusted the student council.

These students that he had picked himself, as well as the two presidents that would guide them were more than capable of enough to handle something like this with their combined powers.
