My Elf System - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: 56. NET {15}:- Battle 2.
The young noble coated his body with Aura before drawing his swords out of his item box.

‘Oh, he’s skilled in using Aura.’

‘Let’s try to have a little fun,’ Orion coated himself with Aura before pulling out a sword from his item box as well.

The item box contained everything Elena had been confident he would need during the tournament.

His clothes, snacks, and a few other weapons were also in the item box.

Orion faced off against his opponent and the two engaged in a fierce exchange of blows, with their swords clashing in a flurry of steel and sparks.

While anticipating his next move, Orion focused intently on his opponent’s eyes, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

As the young noble unleashed a powerful strike, Orion swerved to the side, evading his opponent’s attack while his eyes remained locked onto him.

Finally, Orion noticed the faintest flicker in his opponent’s eye. A small magic circle swiftly appeared underneath his feet and his feet became coated with lightning.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Orion seized the opportunity and activated his camouflage skill.

In an instant, his body blended seamlessly with his environment. The young noble’s eyes widened in confusion before darting his gaze wildly around the arena, searching for Orion.

“Where did he go?!” The young noble exclaimed, his voice laced with surprise and frustration.

Even the audience watching the match did not know where their prince had vanished. They gasped with awe, wondering where Orion was.

However, the young noble refused to back down. He heightened his senses and began to strike the air around him aimlessly.

Meanwhile, Orion remained hidden, watching as his opponent slowly began to tire and his movements slowed down.

Once he made sure the noble couldn’t swing his sword again, Orion swiftly delivered a perfectly aimed uppercut punch, striking the young noble with incredible force.

The young noble flew upwards, his body arcing through the air, before crashing to the ground with a thud.

The impact was tremendous and the practice dummy, still linked to the young noble, suffered an equivalent damage, shattering its body and ending the match in the process.

Seeing this, everyone erupted into cheers and Ganesha announced the winner.

“Thank you,” Orion thanked Ganesha before making his way back to meet Adrian.

The healers hurried to pick up the young noble who was currently unconscious after receiving a powerful punch from Orion.

A smile appeared on Ganesha’s face as he watched Orion leaving the arena.

Unlike the young noble facing Orion, Ganesha had been able to predict exactly where Orion was.

If the young noble had calmed his mind during the battle, he probably would have guessed where Orion was due to his footprint.

There was sand all over the arena and this made it easier for Ganesha to trace exactly where Orion was.

Orion didn’t move a lot from where he was after he activated his camouflage skill, but right after the young noble was physically exhausted, Ganesha could see a footstep slowly approaching him.

If the young noble had been a bit perceptive of his surroundings, he definitely would have noticed Orion approaching him as well.

‘Too bad he couldn’t notice the prince, maybe he’ll use this loss to learn and grow stronger in the future,’ Ganesha uttered in his thoughts as he watched the healers carry the unconscious noble away.

With that out of the way, he announced the next match.

Orion returned back to take his seat beside Adrian while also using the opportunity to see and learn more about the opponents he might face against later on.

“Your battle ended really fast,” Adrian stated once Orion sat beside him.

“Is that bad?”

“Not really. I just wasn’t expecting it to end so soon.”

“Well, every battle will last for five minutes. It was only right for me to end the fight as fast as I could.”

“I guess you have a point.”

“So, who are these guys in the arena?”

“Well, the one at the arena right now is the son…” Adrian began to explain who the next pair of contestants were.

Most of the contestants who had qualified for the second day of the tournament were nobles, so Adrian knew a lot about them.

There were also a few other contestants from humble backgrounds who Adrian wasn’t familiar with but the ones he knew about were discussed with Orion.

“That’s William Ramsbottom,” Adrian pointed out as a young noble walked out of the tunnels and into the arena.

“You mean, the fourth son of Earl Ramsbottom?”

“Yes, and he’s currently ranked third in the tournament.”

Orion looked closely at the Earl’s son. Just like most of the elves in the kingdom, William Ramsbottom was also a forest elf with a good physique and a really good-looking face.

‘To be honest, all elves were really good-looking.’

‘However, I’m yet to see a forest elf who’s nearly as handsome or beautiful as a high elf.’

‘I guess this is a part of the reason why most forest elves, dark elves, and nature elves adore Mom and Aunt Elena.’

‘I bet elves in this world will be a lot prettier and good-looking than most races across the world; well, that’s what I used to believe while reading books and watching anime back on Earth.’

‘It will certainly be nice to know if this is true in this world as well when I’m old enough to venture across different kingdoms and realms of this world.’

‘Oh, well. Let’s keep those thoughts for later.’

‘I can’t be having too many goals and dreams when I haven’t even accomplished my first one yet.’

‘I’ve gotta win this tournament first before welcoming any more goals and dreams that I might have.’

‘Anyways, all I need to know for now is that elves are extremely beautiful and handsome.’

‘And it rocks to be reincarnated into a new world as an elf,’ Orion uttered in his thoughts with a huge smile on his face, before Adrian’s words suddenly dragged him out of his thoughts.

“He won, Your Highness.”
