Saga of Atlantis

Chapter 86  [Entrance Ceremony] : Oracle Royal Academy

[First-person POV: Eden]

"STOP!"

I looked at the boy as he shouted, running towards the thugs and Emily, the main heroine of the first game.

He was wearing the same uniform as me, as he stood around 5'7" with crimson-colored curly hair. He had a good-looking face and a lean and strong physique.

"Here you are," I mumbled to myself as I looked at him. "Child of the sun."

Aron Frank was his name, a simple and ordinary boy who, aside from his crimson hair, was just a normal village boy until a few years ago, when he first awakened his mana core.

"And the granddaughter of the sword king." I mumbled, shifting my gaze towards the young maroon-haired girl who was wearing a girl's uniform from the academy while running behind him.

As my gaze lingered on the scene that was unfolding in front of me—the way Aron blocked the thug and the distance that was created between the rest of them and the boy letting him fight the thugs on his own.

"Well, he is the Sword Kings disciple; he should at least be capable of handling three thugs," I mumbled as I positioned myself while taking out an arrow from my inventory as I adjusted my bow.

The black and white-colored bow that I have right now is the bow of a hero of elves from the past era.

Even after thousands of years have passed since he died, no one was able to get their hands on it because that hero didn't want to pass down his bow to anyone, so he just hid it from the eyes of the world.

I knew about this weapon from the game as one of the main heroines of the third game welded this bow after she found it, and yeah, I stole this bow before she could even find it.

'Plus her heart', I chuckled lightly as I remembered a sliver-haired beauty who always had her eyes covered with a blindfold. She is the one who granted me her blood essence, which in return gave me the bloodline of the First Bow Empress.

==========================

Bloodline: "Bow Empress's Bloodline"

Origin: Bow Empress Sovereign

Powers:

Marksmanship Prowess: Masterful skill in archery, providing exceptional accuracy and precision.

Arrow Manipulation: Control over arrows mid-flight, enabling redirection and adjustment.

Stellar Marksmanship: Temporarily channel the power of the stars to achieve unparalleled marksmanship. During this state, every shot is guaranteed to find its mark, bypassing any obstacles or defenses.

Celestial Barrage: Unleash a devastating storm of enchanted arrows imbued with the power of the stars.

Astral Sentinel: Deepen the connection to celestial forces.

==========================

Her bloodline was something that connected her with stars, and after I acquired her bloodline, my understanding of star energy has deepened quite a bit.

"Hah." With a deep breath, I shifted my focus away from the distracting thoughts. Gripping my bow tightly, I nocked the arrow on the bowstring, ready to take the shot.

{Star Energy}

I triggered the star energy within me, covering both bow and arrow with it. As the bow was strong enough to handle it, I didn't hold back, supplying plenty of energy.

*Kwuiish!!* n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

And without much suspense or letting the hero act cool, I released the bowstring, targeting the ground between them, and I knew if I directly hit him, his protection shield would automatically be generated, saving his life.

The arrow hit the ground, and before they could even see it, it exploded. Without a sound or any movement, the whole area within twenty meters turned into nothingness.

"ARON!!"

The maroon-haired girl shouted as she started to run towards the debris, but she was quickly stopped by Emily, but my focus was still on the area of the target.

"Tch!" I clicked my tongue as I saw a figure kneeling on the ground, huffing. His dress was greatly damaged, and his eyes were filled with fear. But he was still alive, but a question still lingered in my mind: how?

That arrow was enough to kill someone at Origin Level 9 when he was fully prepared to take it head-on, but he still survived when he was far weaker than that.

"Hmm," I said, shrinking my eyes. I looked closely, only to notice his body covered in bright golden light, protecting him from the attack.

"Divinity," I mumbled, recognizing the energy; it was the energy that only gods can use.

"Hahaha!" I let out a bitter laugh, understanding what happened: "That bastard intervened."

So, the hero had a god working as his plot armor.

"Fuck!!"

........

........

........

"Huu!"

I exhaled deeply as I tried to collect myself after my previous failed attempt at killing the hero.

I left the place just after confirming he didn't die, and knowing a god was keeping an eye on him, I have to be more careful next time.

 I also didn't use mana or aura in that attack because they can be traced back to me, but not star energy.

And in all honesty, I was not disappointed in myself for not being able to kill him; he had a freaking god protecting him, and right now I am nowhere close to competing with a god.

There is another new thing I got to know today.

The hero's Parton God was supposed to grant his blessings at the near end of the first game to the hero, but it looks like he has been keeping his eyes on him for quite some time.

'Fine! If I can't kill him, I will torture him mentally and physically until I can kill him!'

Shaking my heads from my thoughts, I looked at the huge building that was in front of me. Let me rephrase that: it was a fucking castle with three different buildings connected to a central building in the middle.

Furthermore, there were two more buildings on the side that served as dormitories for the students.

All in all, it was fucking huge!

Looking around, I saw many nobles and commoners from the background moving towards their assigned buildings.

And here I was standing at the front gate, in a dilemma about what to do?

Should I head straight towards the main characters class where Eden in the game was, or should I go towards the headmasters office?

"Whatever they will call me as soon as they recognize me", I mumbled, shrugging my shoulders and starting to head towards the building assigned for the first year.

-"Wow! Hey! Look at him."

-"Ahh! I think I fell in love with him~"

-"Hah! He's way outta your league, girl. Just look from the sides!"

As I was navigating through the corridor of the building, everyone's curious gaze was on me, and since I have entered the building, every single girl I repeat every single girl have atleast looked back at me twice.

Especially for commoner girls, as my looks literally scream 'Prince Charming '.

Well can't blame them; my charm has already reached the mortal limit, so it is normal for them to have this kind of reaction, though it will be interesting to see their reaction when my identity goes public, and I highly doubt anyone could even recognize me as of now.

But then I noticed a few of the teachers looking at me, but they had a more serious face.

It looks like they recognized me after all; there aren't my white-haired boys my age as famous as me, not in a good way, of course.

After walking for a while, I arrived in front of the class.

The same class that I saw multiple times in the first game was now infront of me and since in a very long time I felt excitement building up inside me.

"Hah!"

Exhaling deeply, I twisted the doorknob, opening the door.

Stepping inside, I saw rows of neatly arranged descending desks.

The whole classroom was clean and spotless, to the point that it looked brand new.

Young people around my age were chatting happily among themselves while a few nerdy students were reading books.

As soon as I entered the room, everyone's attention shifted towards me, while boys were frowning looking at my handsome face and girls were practically gawking at my face.

[Can you please stop your narcissism.]

'Shut up!'.

Ignoring their perching gaze, I walked up towards the end of the class, choosing an empty seat. I sat down.

"Hmm," but just as I sat down, I saw a brute-looking guy who was heading in my direction. Who is he again? His eyes were clearly filled with hatred and anger as he looked at me.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing here!?"

He said grabbing my collar.

"Remove your hand," I said coldly, looking dead into his eyes.

"I won't, what are you gonna do?" He rebuked me now, grabbing my collar with both of his hands.

*Slam!!*

Just as I was about to break this guy's arm, the door of the class slammed open, and a female teacher entered the class.

Her gaze searched the class until it landed on me. Her eyes were immediately filled with anger.

"EDEN! MORTON! TO THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE NOW!"
