Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[OP: ]

Everyone in the world knows that the spirits actually live in the spirit realm and that there exist different kinds of realms that not just anyone can access.

The spirits, for one, live in the spirit world and the basic ranks or the ranks of classifications that the humans have given them are simply as follows: Newborn spirits, the spirits that have just been born in the spirit world in the 'lakes of the creation' where all the spirits are born< the Basic spirits that have learned about their powers and are able to use their powers in a simple way< the intermediate grade spirits that have learned a great deal about the elements and have mastered the powers that they possess to a certain degree. They are the spirits that are mostly found in the human world which are considered to be 'useful' and something above the 'useless' spirits.

Then there are Advanced spirits who have mastered the elemental power or the power that they possess to a higher level and are comparable to the high mages of this world in comparison to the pure power.

'These kinds of spirits are the powerful ones that only the talented summoners could ever possess and only the geniuses of the world could ever have more than one contracted Advanced spirit.

Then comes the Superior spirits, or the spirits that have mastered their powers completely. 

Their powers have reached a point where they could use their power to influence the outside world at will and even the elements of nature that are usually not something that one has access to are opened to them.

They have such mastery over their powers that in comparison, they are similar to the (tier-8) mages who have cultivated their magic for a long time and some of the Superior spirits who are older and have a higher standing in the Spirit society, are even comparable to the Elder mages.

Above them are kings and queens, the sovereigns who command the elements, assist nature, look after the other natural elements, and even fulfill certain duties as the pinnacles of this nature.

Most of these kings and queens are, for most parts, Primordial beings, and if not, they are the successors of these primordial beings that are some of the beings who have achieved the qualifications and powers that surpass the previous kings or queens.

If they fall behind them in the manner they are chosen as the successor, then they are denied the throne by nature itself and if they do succeed in succession then the memories of the previous rulers are passed down to them before the previous kings and queens say their farewell to the new rulers and become one with the nature...

It was a complex process which was much more complicated than it sounded. However, these all are things that the humans have found out about the spirits after their long association with them.

The true systems of the spirit world are still a mystery to most of the creatures of the nature of the current world. 

Society avoided these complicated things on one end and those who want to know more about the complicated things like the spirit mages and the mages who do have a deep interest in these things, do not have a proper means to get that kind of information since there are many natural restrictions in place.

The barriers of various physical, spiritual, natural, and metaphysical forms prevent the true transparency that could make these two kinds come on an equal level but, it was a natural thing. 

If one really wanted to know these special things, they would first have to gain the qualifications and then an appropriate power to get to the truth by themselves.

Not many are able to do so in these times but those who do manage to achieve something so unfathomable, are the beings of great power and authority.

They know the truth of the spirit society that no normal human is allowed to know, and, though some of the ones who do have this true knowledge are willing to share this unique information with others, they also face some restrictions themselves.

…

In the past, many of the humans and other races had tried spreading a little more light on the spirit, but even after all their efforts, the things that they managed to find out were very limited.

"Alright, Clover. Just as ma'am showed alright. Let's focus and do it."

"Meeeeeewooo~!"

The things that they did manage to find out included the fact that there existed a hierarchal system among the spirits and that aside from the rankings known by the humans there existed another unique rankings that determined the true powers of the spirits and their authorities in the spirit world and this world.

"Huuuuu… take a deep breath, try looking deep into your heart, see a unique light… oh, I see a green light. Must be yours right Clover? Hehe… alright, so we bring that light outside now."

"Meeeeeeewwww!"

"Good good. Keep going keep going. I know you can do it!"

"Mewooooooooo~!"

-Ooooooooooooong!

The spirits have a unique hierarchy where some are given special ranks and some spirits in special positions possess an authority that surpasses the other spirits in some of the cases.

There are times when even a basic spirit that has a unique position in the spirit world would possess an authority higher than even the Supreme spirits.

These are special creatures that are unique to that realm and rarely ever available to humans for the bonding process.

However, there are times when the humans do manage to summon and form a contract with the special spirits, and, Clover was one of those special cases that are one of a kind.

"Mewoooooooo!"

"Yes! Amazing Clover! You did it!"

They were in their spirit bonding classes on some middle floor of the academy castle and there were many things present here side from the students, the teachers, the spirits of the students and the teacher, and the whiteboard that she was using to explain the things to these students.

"Wow~! See everyone~! I knew she would succeed! She is amazing!"

The teacher was a wolf person with the face and tail of a wolf, a humanoid body, and an attractive face.

She was a grandmaster rank spirit summoner and was the master of three [Supiror] grade spirits, as well as six Advanced, eight intermediate, and four basic rank spirits.

However, even a teacher of her caliber did not possess something like Clover, a spirit that was a direct assistant to the crown, or the spirit queen of water.

"Look, everyone. That's the (Spirit rank insignia). Every spirit that is eligible to form a counteract with some other being possesses one of these insignia that are directly bestowed by their rulers.

The one you see before you is a very, very, very special one.

This is my third time seeing one in my two hundred years of life, so, just understand how special this is~!"

She was genuinely excited as she saw the unique insignia that now floated above Clover.

It was a unique mark with a complicated geometric pattern that was very difficult to understand and, without a clear understanding of these insignias, it was impossible for the others to recognise the meaning they held.

However, their teacher had drawn all the common kinds of inginias on the whiteboard present before them at this moment so they were all looking at a certain one that was drawn away from all the other insignias.

"Haha, don't praise us too much teacher~."

"You like it girl~. I know that kitty does as well! Look at that adorable face, hehe~."

"Mewooooo~!"

The teacher was a cheerful person that Rein liked a lot and Clover did as well, that's why even as she floated around the open space with an excited smile, she knew she was doing pretty well.

The praise from the teacher was quite something for both of them, however… looking at this happy version of Clover, was not something the other spirits present in this place were used to at all.

"Hehehe. Clover, that's enough. And don't go there. They are afraid still. Don't harness them much."

"Mewooooo~!"

There were many basic spirits present here and they were pretty good friends with Clover but, starting from the intermediate spirits to even the Superior spirits of their teacher were afraid of this happy Clover.

They were in a coroner and were avoiding any kind of interaction with her or were avoiding offending her in any way since offending her meant challenging the authority of the Spirit Queen herself.

She was a direct attendant of the Queen, one of the only six ones at that. And she was Rein's familiar.

This alone was a non-digestible fact for the other spirits who knew her from her time in the spirit world but even more absurd for them was this changed form they were seeing of her.

"Haha, I can't believe you all fear this cute kitty. She's so adorable~. Why do you say she used to be a ruthless and evil one who punished others and even beat others if they bothered the queen? 

She is cute and I don't even see anything 'bad' anywhere around her.

She's pretty pure one instead~."

The teacher knew what her spirits had told her but she could not believe them even now.

How could such a cute little kitten be someone who could beat these big spirits? 

She didn't know the reason they were all afraid of her but since they had seen the real version of this kitten… they all knew…

The happy kitten with the royal insignia, was not something as simple as these kids, this teacher, or her own master, knew at this moment.

She was something much more than a cute kitty, if anything, they all would collectively call her the reincarnation of danger itself.

They were all afraid of her regardless of their higher power.

She was their superior.

And this cute appearance, or the opinion of their masters, will never change this fact...
