My Elf System - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: 55. NET {14}:- Battle.
Aside from these two things, it was also possible for contestants to receive damage that might destroy their dummies.

Once a dummy was destroyed, the tournament officials would immediately end the match.

Points would also be awarded to each contestant depending on the amount of damage a dummy sustained.

Each battle was to last for five minutes, this meant that each contestant would have a maximum of five minutes to inflict a lot of damage on their opponent’s dummies.

Orion and every other contestant listened to everything Ganesha had to say and the moment he was done explaining everything they needed to know, a couple of healers walked into the room where the contestants were and extracted a drop of their blood by pricking their fingers.

Once they were done, the healers cast a spell and each of the training dummies glowed. Then, the healers carried the dummies out of the room and Ganesha announced the commencement of the battle in the arena.

The scoreboard, which initially displayed the list of contestants, suddenly changed, and the names of contestants with the opponents they would be fighting against were now displayed for all to see.

120 contestants qualified to participate in today’s activity; this meant that everyone would be divided into pairs.

Every battle was a knockout round and if anyone lost, they would immediately be disqualified from the tournament.

The winners of each match-up would continue to fight until there were twenty contestants left.

These twenty contestants would be the lucky contestants to qualify for the next round of battles occurring on the third day of the tournament.

Everyone looked at the scoreboard to find out the first pair to have their fight, and it turned out to be Orion against a young Baron around the age of fourteen.

The crowd roared in excitement, seeing as how it was their beloved prince who would be the first to fight in the arena.

“Woah, you’re the first?” Adrian exclaimed with his eyes wide open.

“It would seem so,” Orion replied with a smile on his face and he stood from his seat before making his way out of the room.

While he was leaving the room, Adrian said to him, “Try not to be knocked out of the tournament.”

Orion smiled but didn’t say anything as he left the room to meet his opponent.

The moment Orion stepped out of the tunnels and into the arena, the voices of the spectators cheering his name increased even more.

“Prince Galdur! Prince Galdur!!” They continued to chant his name and Orion acknowledged them all by smiling and waving at them.

This only made the audience feel even more excited.

“Good luck, your Highness!” A female elf yelled.

“I love you, Prince Galdur!!” Another female yelled in excitement.

“You can do this, Prince Galdur. I believe in you!”

“My Prince!! If you win this tournament, I’ll wait till you’re older and I’ll let you fuck– Hmm?” A perverted female elf yelled out but her friend covered her mouth before she could utter her outrageous words completely.

Everyone’s loud cheering echoed throughout the arena and Orion could hear them all.

‘The ladies in this world are beautiful but weird,’ Orion thought to himself.

‘Most of them are truly honest with their feelings.’

‘Never in my wildest imagination, would I have predicted myself being cheered on by beautiful women like this.’

‘Moreover, each and every one of them are elves!!!’

‘I’m truly lucky to be here.’

‘I love this world, and it’s all thanks to Mama.’

Glad that he was able to come into this world by a special female elf in his life, Orion turned around to find where his mother was seated.

He looked around the coliseum, searching for Evelyn, Elena, and Mia.

He noticed them seated in the seats reserved for the royal family, and he could see them all waving in his direction with beautiful smiles on their faces.

Orion smiled as well and waved back to them.

With the help of his Omnivision skill, he was able to see Evelyn mouthing a few words to him. “Good luck, sweetie.”

“Thanks, Mama,” He mouthed his words back to her before sending a kiss in her direction. Then, he returned his attention back to his opponent with renewed strength.

He had missed his mother, aunt, and Mia all night long, but after seeing them now, he was eager to face all his opponents and quickly bring this tournament to an end so that he could spend more time with his beloved family.

Orion stepped onto the arena, watching as his opponent and tournament official Ganesha bowed towards him.

The cheering of the spectators dropped the moment Orion stood in front of Ganesha and his opponent.

Orion noticed that his opponent was a young male elf. He also noticed that his opponent was a bit older than him and he happened to be a forest elf.

Sensing that this was his chance to become closer to the prince, just like Adrian, his opponent had made up his mind to fight seriously against Orion, hoping it would be enough to impress the prince and allow him to become his friend as well.

“Are you ready?” Ganesha asked the young noble and he nodded his head in response.

Orion could also see the determined look on his face.

His opponent had the look of someone who wanted to win this battle, and this brought a smile onto Orion’s face because now he felt relieved knowing that his opponent intended to take the battle seriously, just like him.

“Your Highness, are you ready?” Ganesha inquired from Orion and he nodded his head in response.

Orion noticed two healers at the edge of the arena, standing beside two training dummies.

‘I guess those two dummies are the ones linked to us,’ Orion uttered in his thoughts before drifting his attention back to his fight.

“Fight!!!” Ganesha gave his command and both Orion and the young noble in front of him assumed a battle stance.
