My Elf System - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: 33. Aunt Elena Is Also Strong.
Orion looked through his status and right after he was done, he decided to check out the details of his newly acquired skills.

[Mana Combat Technique:- The host has acquired a fundamental understanding of what mana combat technique is all about. If the host wishes to use simple Tier One mana combat techniques, then the host must improve his understanding of mana manipulation.]

[Appraisal:- This skill allows the host to assess and evaluate the value, properties, and potential of weapons, rare materials, and artifacts. It can also be used to view a few details of a target, depending on the stage of the elf System the host has access to.]

[Auto-MP recovery:- This skill automatically restores the host’s MP once it drops.]

[Dagger Combat Technique:- Just like the host’s newly acquired mana technique, you have obtained a fundamental understanding of what dagger art is all about. However, if the host wishes to use simple Tier One dagger arts, the host must first awaken his Aura aspect.]

Orion read through the details of his newly acquired skills and the moment he was done, he realized that he had now obtained a basic understanding of what mana combat techniques and dagger combat techniques were about.

He was also able to understand that both combat techniques were a bit similar but they were also different at the same time.

Aside from the fact that many arts involved the use of mana for combat, and it was used exclusively by mages, Orion was able to understand that dagger arts could only be learned and practiced by knights.

He wanted to know more about Aura and what he needed to do to have access to it, but he decided to wait until he was done eating breakfast so that he could ask his mother or Aunt.

Since Orion had made up his mind to speak with Evelyn and Elena once they were done eating, he decided to turn his attention to his newly acquired [Appraisal] skill.

‘The details of the appraisal skill look simple to understand.’

‘But I wonder what Mama’s rank would look like if I used the skill to view it,’ Orion wondered but he didn’t waste any time in trying to view his mother’s mage rank with his appraisal skill.

However, when he tried it, Orion was unable to see anything about Evelyn or Elena’s rank.

He sighed internally and said to himself, ‘I guess this means that the current stage of this system can’t view their details.’

‘Or maybe it is because Mama and Auntie’s details are a bit too much for the system to read.’

‘Anyways, it seems I won’t be able to see Mama’s current Mage rank for now.’

‘I’ll have to work harder to be able to do so,’ Orion concluded.

He wasn’t sad about his inability to see his mother’s mage rank, though.

He had expected something like this to happen, so he decided to continue eating his breakfast and not think too much about it.

For now, Orion’s main priority was to learn everything his mother promised to teach him and he couldn’t wait to get started.

‘Come to think of it, with a racial skill like auto MP-recovery, I can see why Mama would be regarded as one of the strongest elves ever,’ Orion uttered in his thoughts.

He could feel the hairs on his body standing tall in the excitement of what was to come in the future.

He couldn’t wait to get started with his lessons so he focused more on his breakfast.

Right after they were done eating, the maids walked in to take away their plates, but Evelyn noticed her baby looking in her direction, meaning that he was ready to learn now, and she couldn’t help but giggle at the cute expression he had on his face while looking at her.

“Fufufu… It seems someone is eager to learn.”

Orion smiled and instantly replied with a nod but Elena became curious about what was going on.

“What are you two talking about?” she asked and Orion replied.

“Mama wants to teach me magic.”

“Magic?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, I see,” A sad look appeared on her face.

“Well, good luck then,” Elena said depressingly before grabbing the mug in front of her and drinking her tea.

Her interest in what they were talking about suddenly dropped and Orion noticed the sad look on her face.

“Aunt Elena, is something wrong?”

“No dear, Auntie is fine,” Elena replied with a fake smile. Unlike before, when Elena had been trying to have Orion all to herself, this time around, she felt really sad, and she wasn’t doing it to trick Orion into hugging her.

“Liar,” Evelyn interposed. “Don’t believe your Aunt, sweetie; she’s lying. You noticed the sad look on your Aunt Elena’s face right sweetie?” She asked Orion.

“Yes.”

“Mama noticed it too and the reason Auntie looks so sad right now is because she is not happy that she won’t be able to teach you magic.”

“She won’t?” Orion’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard Evelyn’s words. He had been expecting Elena to be interested in teaching him magic, just like Evelyn.

“Why? I thought Auntie has an affinity with all the elements just like us?” He said and turned to Elena, hoping she could explain why his mother said those words.

“Yes, I do, but my affinity to all the elements isn’t as strong as the two of you, so I decided to focus on becoming a knight,” Elena replied.

“Is that why you use a sword?”

Orion asked as he recalled Elena telling him about how she had used her sword to fight against the Orc army during the war.

At first, he had wondered why she would use a sword during the war, but now he fully understood why she focused more on learning how to use weapons rather than how to cast spells.

“Yes, sweetie,” Evelyn replied instead of Elena and she added. “Your Aunt uses a sword and right now she’s the best knight in the kingdom. If you wish to learn how to use any weapon in the kingdom, your Auntie is the best teacher for you.”

“She is?” Orion turned to Elena with eyes filled with even more respect.
