My Elf System

Ever since Neil Hartman and his uncle tried to instigate an attack on the academy and failed, Lucille sent them back to the human kingdom for King Edward to decide what to do with them.

In the end, King Edward gave his verdict, and now Neil, his uncle, and all the other mercenaries were ordered to live in the monk temple up in the mountains until Nordrassil had been found.

Meanwhile, Neil was asked to make a choice between returning to the academy and joining his uncle in the temple, but he chose to be with his uncle and everyone else. This meant that he wouldn't be able to return to the academy anymore, and someone else's rank would have to be upgraded to the new number ten of the academy.

Adrian was the one who became the new number ten because he was initially ranked right below Neil.

Every other student whose rank in the academy had been lower than Adrian's also got to have their ranks rise because Neil was no longer in the academy. Many students wondered why their ranks had suddenly increased overnight, so they asked the deputy headmistress.

Lucille told them that a student had dropped out of the academy due to a rare illness and everyone had believed her words without asking any further questions aside from wishing Neil a speedy path of recovery to good health.

Since no one witnessed the hell lions trying to attack the academy, everyone easily believed the words of the deputy headmistress, and this was how Adrian joined the other top ten students in Stella Hall.

"So, how does it feel to be one of the top ten students at the academy?" Orion asked Adrian.

"It feels strange, but I'm definitely liking it here," Adrian replied with a smile on his face.

He noticed Dahlia standing behind the bench Orion was sitting on, but she had a look on her face that seemed to say, 'Keep your chitchat to the bare minimum and leave, so that I can be alone with my beloved prince.'

Adrian didn't know why Dahlia kept glaring at him but he didn't need to be told twice before knowing what to do.

Since Dahlia wanted to be alone with her beloved prince, then maybe it was better to just say hi to Orion and leave.

Ever since Orion had informed Dahlia that he would love to train with her, Dahlia had been grinning internally in her mind.

In fact, she was still grinning internally because she couldn't wait to get started with the training.

If anyone could see the real facial expression she was making in her head right now, they would see that it was friendlier than the scary-looking expression they were currently seeing.

Since there was nothing else for them to talk about, Adrian bowed before Orion and said. "Okay, Your Highness, I'll be leaving you to do…"

However, Orion interrupted him when he noticed that Adrian was about to leave. "Where are you going?"

"Huh?"

"It's been months since we last saw each other and talked, don't you want to sit with me and talk for a bit?"

"But..." Adrian tried to come up with an excuse but was speechless.

He alternated between looking at Dahlia and Orion, and he wasn't happy with what he was seeing.

Strangely enough, Dahlia reminded him of a certain Kitsune, who never liked him talking to Orion for more than a few minutes.

Not only was she a Kitsune, but she was also his girlfriend and spirit guardian.

Why does the prince like having scary ladies by his side? Can't a man have a friendly conversation with his friend if he wants to without having death glares aimed at him?

Sighs, the life of a prince certainly wasn't easy.

Adrian knew that Dahlia wasn't going to hurt him, she just wanted him to talk a little and leave quickly so that the prince wouldn't be bothered and could focus on other important matters he had to attend to.

With this thought in mind, Adrian took a deep breath before concluding what he wanted to do, and that was to sit and chat with his friend.

He was about to sit beside Orion when he suddenly heard Aslan's voice from behind.

"Is that Prince Galdur?"

"Yep, he's the one," Arthur replied after noticing that it was really Orion.

"Great, this will be my chance to finally spar against the top student in the academy," Aslan hurried towards Orion.

"Hey, you aren't the only one who wishes to see just how strong he is," Arthur hurried towards Orion as well.

The moment they were standing in front of him, Aslan asked, to confirm whether Orion was interested or not. "So, what do you say, Your Highness? Would you like to spar with me?" He brought his hand forward to give Orion a handshake.

"Make that two of us, but I get to be the first to fight against you."

"Hey, I asked first, so I'll be the first one to fight against him."

Hearing this, a smile spread across Orion's lips and he finally joined the conversation. "I'll spar against the two of you right now if that's what you want."

"Splendid, then let's get started."

"Hey," Arthur turned towards Adrian. "Don't you wanna join us? This is your chance to fight against the top student in the academy, don't tell me you don't feel like fighting against him as well?"

Adrian smiled and replied. "I do, but do you two think you can really win against him?"

"We don't, but if the three of us join forces, we should be able to win," Aslan replied before walking over to grab a weapon that he would use to fight.

Meanwhile, Orion turned around to look at Dahlia.

They were supposed to be the ones sparring against each other, but now it seemed like Orion would have to fight against three other students before he could focus his attention on her.

"I'm sorry, Dahlia, but we'll get started right after I'm done with them," Orion assured her while slowly caressing her cheeks and Dahlia nodded her head with a smile on her face.
