The Arcane Archer

Chapter 33

The next few weeks pa.s.sed by both slowly and quickly at the same time. It felt incredibly fast when the elves were teaching me things as my adaptable brain absorbed literally everything it could. Then it felt really slow as the "school" day ended and I was left in my own room.

Through the school, I started to learn proper enchanting compared to what I was able to originally due with my arrow enchanting. The proper procedure to enchant was to draw a circle using mana and fill in the entire circle with a couple of sentences in an ancient language "asking" the mana circle to go into the certain item you want to enchant and do specific tasks.

This ancient language they talked about and showed me was something they cla.s.sified as impossible to translate. The only had a few words and phrases that they knew which just barely made them able to actually enchant.

However, as soon as they told me a couple of the very few words that they knew, my adaption kicked in and gave me the ability to know everything the Ancient Language. I made sure to keep that a secret though.

The other 3 cla.s.ses (Archery, Nature, and Magic 101) also pa.s.sed by quickly but weren"t as interesting as the enchanting. In Archery, they tried teaching me some so called "Advanced" stuff but it honestly was just some basic stuff that I learned many years back when I first learned it on earth.

Nature was a lot of meditating near plants and trying to harmonize with them which I just found very stupid… Still got the skills for it though!

Finally for magic 101 I learned a bunch of spells which all just combined into one singular thing. {Basic Magic}.

With the basic magic skill, if I attempted to do something very basic with mana like cast the flame spell, then it would work as if I was casting that spell. While it might seem overpowered as if it was a magic to create any spell, it wasn"t.

The highest spell that I can cast at the current level of Basic Magic was water ball, flame (Slightly better version of spark), stone shard, and gust. If I supply extra mana to the spell, it becomes a bigger and stronger version.

Other then that, I did my basic workout everyday and was able to increase my physical stats and became better acquainted with the elves to the point that they allowed me to explore their forest kingdom!

Most of their houses and stuff were in the top of trees and the way up was through the base of them. The original elf who talked to me about my enchanting talked to me a lot and I found out that his name was Gael.

Now that all the elves got to know me, they weren"t as racist as before, I was able to get to know them better as well. Gael cared very much for the hidden elf kingdom and promised himself that he would do literally anything he could for it which explains the reason why he was so rude to begin with.


Same thing with pretty much all the other elves I met too. They just cared so much about their culture that they were rude in the beginning.

One day as I was doing some extra studying and some random workouts in my room, someone knocked on the door.

Getting up, I opened the door and discovered that Mrs. b.i.t.c.hy Elf was standing there still very prideful and everything.

"May I help you with something?" I asked very blandly

"No. I am just here to tell you that because of your remarkable learning speed, you only have one day left in our schooling. After that, we would like your help with a enchantment of an item Leo."

I raised my eyebrow at the fact that she called me by my actual name. Pretty much all the other elves called me my normal name because of me helping/ working with them the last few weeks all except Mrs. b.i.t.c.hy herself.

"I"ll help if it"s within my abilities." I gave a slight bow to show a bit of respect.

Mrs. b.i.t.c.hy responded back with a short bow and turned away and left.

Now that I was no longer doing my studying/workout, I felt in the mood to do something else instead of continuing what I was doing originally.

I left my room and started making my way to the archery practice area and pulled out my bow from my inventory along the way there. Once there, I grabbed a few arrows placed in a basket and put them in my quiver.

Making my way across the room, I stood a couple of feet away from a set of bulls-eyes and got into a regular standing position. Counting down slowly in my mind while keeping my eyes closed, I prepared myself to do a quick shot at each of them. Once I reached 1 in my head, I opened my eyes and quickly pulled out a arrow.

I quickly shot it off to the furthest target to the left before quickly pulling out another arrow and firing it at the next one in the line.

I continued doing this till I got to the last one and once I did I aimed my bow down to the ground and surveyed my work. Most of them hit the target directly in the middle but a few arrows missed their mark by a couple of inches or so.

As I continued to survey my work, I started to hear a clapping noise from behind me. I quickly drew a arrow as I turned around and aimed it at whoever was clapping.

There clapping behind me was the first elf I ever met still in his usual get up of clothing that covered everything in pitch black silk.

"I see you enjoy taking after the Elves Leo. You are almost as proficient as the elves themselves with a bow."

I aimed my bow down at the ground.

"Key word being almost Zavar."

He gave a light chuckle at hearing this.

"You know that us Elves live for a very long time compared to Humans. We"re able to hone our skills for centurys while you might be able to only get a few decades if lucky. You being able to do just this shows how good your skills actually are."

We stood there in awkward silence for a minute before I spoke again.

"Did you come hear for a reason Zavar? You usually stay our near the border on guard for people trying to get into the kingdom."

"Ah yes, about that. I wanted to give you a gift as both a sorry for being rude and welcoming gift for joining the elves side and not being like other Humans."

Zavar reached behind himself and pulled off his bow. He eyed it for a bit before he pushed it in my direction.

"Here. Take this and allow this to be proof that you are friends with the elves."

I reached my hands out to grab it before stopping a few centimeters short.

"This seems like something very import culturally. Is this ok?"

He once again gave a light chuckle.

"You are correct about that. When a Elf gives someone their bow, it signify trust that they"ll be able to live up to the expectations that we"ve given to them. With me giving this bow to you, we hope that you"ll be able to help with the enchantment we"ve been working on for a long time now. I and all the other elves hope you don"t disappoint."

He continued trying to give the bow to me and after contemplating it for a bit of time, I eventually grabbed the bow and slowly took it out of his hands. Upon doing so, a smile grew across his face as he immediately bowed down to form a complete 90 degrees angle.

"I hope you don"t disappoint my friend." He said as he got back up before finally turning around and walking off into the distance.

[You"ve earned the {Friend of the Elves} t.i.tle. You are no longer seen as a enemy or as a racist human by all elves.]

"Huh, that was weird."
