My Elf System - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: 57. NET {16}:- Moon Elf.
“He won, Your Highness.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Like I said, He’s really talented, so I guess this should have been a piece of cake for him. I heard he was the first to hunt ten horned rabbits yesterday and he did it within five minutes.”

“That’s amazing.”

“I know, right? Also, I heard Lady Luna Cyprus was the second to hunt ten horned rabbits, and she did hers in six minutes.”

Orion listened attentively to what Adrian was saying and he nodded his head in understanding before thinking to himself.

‘Wow, I knew these guys were good and really talented because Adrian had told me a few things about them before the tournament, but I hadn’t expected them to be this good.’

‘I wouldn’t want to face either of these two today until I have a basic understanding of how strong they are.’

‘Well, it won’t be the end of the world if I were to face either of them now. I’ll just have to give it my all and win against them,’ Orion thought to himself as he watched William Ramsbottom return back to the tunnels.

“I guess I’m next,” Adrian said while standing up from his seat.

“Good luck.”

“I don’t need it,” Adrian crackled his fingers as he made his way to the arena.

Just like William Ramsbottom, Adrian didn’t use more than a minute to win against his opponent.

The crowds cheered loudly and everyone truly enjoyed the battles they had watched so far.

The contestants of the Junior Noble Elf Tournament had impressed the spectators beyond their initial expectations.

However, when the concept of training dummies was introduced, a few of the spectators were disappointed because they wanted to watch an intense battle between the contestants similar to that of the contestants of the adult tournament section.

However, even though the training dummies linked to the contestants were the ones absorbing most of the damage, this didn’t limit the intensity of the battle occurring between the young generation of elves.

It only made everyone even more interested in the battle and Adrian’s battle didn’t disappoint the audience as well.

‘Hmm, it seems Adrian has grown a bit stronger since I last sparred with him.’

‘I’ve never seen him move so fast against an opponent before.’

‘He barely even gave his opponent the chance to fight back.’

‘Or maybe his opponent just wasn’t strong enough to land any attacks on him.’

‘Oh, well. I’m happy to see he won. I wonder who’s next to fight in the arena,’ Orion reclined on his seat and watched as Adrian walked off the stage.

He made his way back to his seat before sitting down beside Orion.

The moment Adrian sat down, Ganesha announced the next pair of contestants.

A young male elf walked towards the arena and a young female elf trailed behind him.

Just like every other forest elf in the kingdom, the young female elf had platinum blonde hair but there was a slight difference between the way she looked and how every other forest elf looked.

The female elf had pale skin which almost seemed like it was glowing.

These characteristics were prominent in a special race of elves Orion was familiar with.

‘Moon elves.’

‘She has to be a moon elf.’

‘I never expected I would see a moon elf.’

‘She looks really strong as well, and a bit above my age.’

Just like the nature elves, the moon elves were extremely rare across the kingdom, so it was Orion’s first time seeing a moon elf.

‘Could she be a noble?’

‘I think she is.’

‘I wonder if she’s the Duke’s daughter?’

‘I heard the Duke was a moon elf.’

‘Since he’s a moon elf, then she has to be his daughter, and if she’s the Duke’s daughter, then she must be Luna Cyprus,’ Orion concluded in his thoughts before asking Adrian if he was right, and he was.

The moon elf walking towards the arena was really Lady Luna Cyprus, the Duke’s daughter.

‘Since she’s the daughter of the Duke…’

‘Then, she must be just as strong as her father.’

‘I heard the Duke was really strong and he made a huge achievement during the war.’

‘I wonder how strong she is.’

Orion relaxed and waited for the battle to unfold.

Ganesha yelled out the commencement of the battle, but to everyone’s surprise, a magic circle suddenly appeared underneath Luna’s opponent’s feet, and in less than a minute, her opponent was beaten, and she won.

‘She didn’t cast a spell?’ Orion couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed.

‘I’m certain of it. She didn’t cast a spell.’

‘But how?’

As far as Orion knew, it was extremely difficult for anyone to cast a spell without chanting but here she was, casting a spell without chanting as though just anyone could do it.

‘Does this mean she memorizes magic circles as well?’

‘It’s rare for anyone to memorize magic circles because of how difficult it is.’

‘If she can do it, then she must be really intelligent.’

‘I wonder how many magic circles she has memorized so far.’

‘I guess this means I won’t be the only elf in the tournament who can cast spells without chanting the words.’

‘Things just got a little bit more interesting,’ A smile appeared on Orion’s face.

The remaining part of the day ended smoothly. Orion was able to easily handle all of the opponents he faced, making it easier for him to be among the final twenty contestants who were qualified to participate on the third day of the tournament.

And just like that, the second day of the tournament went away in a flash. All contestants who were unable to make it to the final twenty safely returned back home.

Orion and the remaining twenty finalists returned to the castle reserved for the finalists and everyone took a nap due to their exhaustion.

The next day, Orion didn’t face any difficulties when fighting against any of the opponents brought before him.

This made it easier for him to be among the final four contestants, which included him, Adrian, William Ramsbottom, and Luna Cyprus.
