Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer-Chapter 10 Awakening

"Eon, it's time for lunch!"

Brian shouted, looking at his son, who was sitting on the ground doing some kind of meditation training.

He started thinking when he didn't get a reply from his son.

'He is doing that thing for months. I don't know what he does, but he is improving at a speed I haven't even heard is possible.'

Which child, who is not yet 6 years old, can master archery to the extent of a professional archer who has practiced for almost his entire life?

'He is amazing. What would he do if he <Awaken>? will he learn magic as fast as archery?'

He thought for some time and reached his conclusion.

'Nah, no way. Magic isn't something you would understand just by looking and reading books. Well, he has a long time before he goes through <Awakening> anyway.'

Besides, convincing his mom will be the most difficult task for him.

He thought as he left his son be.

He was doing this for the past couple of months and when he's finished with it; he comes to eat.

But seeing his determination and the level of focus he has is always a sight to behold.

'Every time I see him, my heart beats faster, and a new power to work even harder surges from deep within me.'

"Yes! Let's get to work!" 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

"How long is he planning to do this training of his today?"

Nolen wondered, looking at her little baby from her window.

Axion was doing this sense enhancement or something training for the past couple of months.

He gets so focused that he doesn't even eat on time.

'Should I tell him to stop doing that?'

She thought for a moment before shaking her head and instantly changing her mind.

'No. I can't do that.'

He likes his archery as much as his books.

It wasn't normal for kids to like the books or things like archery or magic from such a young age.

But, ha's always been different. He liked to read books and learn about new things.

'It is like he wants to know more things about a new unknown world.'

But that doesn't matter to me at all.

'He is my son.'

I would let him do anything he wants and, if learning about new stuff is what he wants, I can't force him to stop.

I can only tell him how I would feel and guide him. Now and in the future.

'He is smart anyway. A lot more than even some of the adults I have seen throughout my life. So, ultimately, I believe him.'

She decided and moved her gaze from him and got back to her work.

"Huuuuuu..."

I released a deep breath and opened my eyes.

'Looks like it's about time.'

I am sure it was about time for my <Awakening> and; it was sometime around next week. I have this feeling that a lot of things will change after that.

But it wasn't a bad feeling. It was more about how my parents would feel about that.

'Well... I'm sure they will be happy, sad, and excited at the same time.'

But that would be for the future me to worry about.

'Let's go grab something to eat!'

Worrying about the future isn't something I should do when I already have so much on my plate.

'Well, there is literally too much on the plate in front of me.'

I wondered and looked towards the person standing in front of me.

"Dad? Why do I have so much on my plate?"

I asked, thinking that it was a joke. But dad had a different answer ready for me.

"You should eat a lot. You are a growing kid. And you had longer training today, so eat up!"

Dad said excitedly with a happy expression and handed me a glass of juice.

I took the glass that I know would be good already and drank some of it.

And I was right, as always. It was now a sort of special thing from dad.

After joining him in the kitchen and learning about many things, I was able to give dad some idea about the things I had eaten in my previous life.

Though things are a bit different in this world, some simple things could be made here too.

And this juice, which was more like a milkshake, was something that dad has mastered and likes to make for mom and me.

'This amazed Mom the first time she drank it.'

She already liked dad's cooking, and this new recipe was a wonderful addition to that.

'And drinking when it's chilled with the ice magic is definitely delightful.'

I finished the food, which was a bit much for me, and came out for a walk. After some time of running around and practicing some more, which was totally extra for today, I got back in.

It is going to be really different in the future, but one thing I am sure that will not change is definitely them.

'Their reaction might be different, but they will always be the same for me and I will be always the same to them.'

I thought as I got back to my room and prepared to sleep.

'Next week...'

I thought as I closed my eyes.

***

On a bright and lovely day, I was sitting in my usual place in a crossed-leg position.

Inhaling deeply, I held my breath and took some small breaths until I couldn't intake any air at all.

Holding the air, I imagined some small particles surrounding me coming towards me and mixing with a pool of light, which was the same color as the small parties of light.

The particles were gathering on that spot one by one, but the pool of light was changing its form into something else.

The particles of light were gathering at a faster speed now.

The pool of light changed into a round sphere, which now started spinning.

The spinning sphere was now absorbing the particles of light even faster than before.

But at one point, it slowed and started to change its color.

it changed until it was white and stopped spinning entirely.

And at that point...

-Booooooooooooom

An explosion echoed throughout the area.

Brian and Nolen came running out of the house and stared at the spectacle before them with wide eyes.

"Unbelievable..."

"How is this possible!?"

Nolen exclaimed in shock with wide and uncertain eyes.

Brian asked with his mouth wide open.

'He is just 5 years old and... already?'

He thought, looking at his son, which was at the center of the explosion in his meditating state like every day.

Nolen was staring at him but snapped out of it after a moment.

She ran towards him and stopped in front of him.

Brian also came and stood beside her.

She put her head on his shoulder and looked at Axion.

Brian held her and stood there silently.

Unknown to any of this, I slowly opened my eyes.

The first thing I saw was my parents looking down at me with mixed emotions in their eyes.

Amazement, sadness, happiness, worry, and a bit of anger.

Looking at them, I asked, unknown of what has happened around me.

"Mom? Dad?"

They looked at each other and nodded. After that, dad picked me up and brought me inside the house.

Mom followed behind us with an anxious look on her face. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

"Do you feel something odd?"

Dad asked with a concerned look on his face.

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

Mom asked after him.

I just shook my head and answered.

"No. Nothing hurts. But I feel a bit different somehow."

Dad had a relieved expression, but mom was still not fully satisfied with the answer.

She looked at my father and said with a sharp look in her eyes.

"We should call a priest and a doctor."

She suggested, holding my hand and patting my head with the other hand.

"I don't think it will be needed. I don't feel any unusual fluctuations of <Mana>.

In fact, it's as natural flowing as any other new <Awakener>. It's anything but impressive."

He said reassuringly as he removed the hand that was on the place where my <Mana Nucleus> should be.

"But still. Just bring the potions from that shelf. That will be enough for the time being."

She requested with a smile and pointed at a shelf that was in the other corner of the room.

Dad sighed and walked towards the place mom pointed and took out a glass bottle with green liquid.

His eyes had a shocked look, but it instantly vanished and he walked toward me and asked me to open my mouth.

I open my mouth and he downed the potion, which I know was a costly and effective <Intermediate healing potion>.

'Well, I'm not hurt, to begin with. But drinking a potion for the first time... is a rare opportunity for me. So it doesn't hurt to try it.'

The potion was just... tasteless.

It just felt like drinking water and after drinking it, it felt like my whole body was out of any kind of stress. It was like waking up after a good long sleep.

A rejuvenating feeling.

"You are not allowed to do anything from now until I say otherwise."

Mom said with a stern voice as she looked at me with a bright smile.

That was the smile she gives when warning about something. That means I really can't do anything.

She had made up her mind.

"Ok," I answered with a sad and calm voice.

"Ok. Go to sleep. Dad and I need to chat so, we will take our leave."

She said and left with the dad without giving me any chance to speak. She stopped before leaving.

Turning towards me, she kissed me on the forehead. She left the room with dad following behind her.

'Might as well check what I got after the <Awakening>.'

Thinking that I thought about the line I have said many times but... never felt like this thrilled before.

'Status Window!'
