My Elf System

Chapter  48. NET {7}:- I Love The Prince Too.

At first glance, Orion looked like a little brother anyone would wish to have because Orion had a face that would make anyone wish to protect him from harm no matter how dangerous it might be.

He looked like a young, naive little elf who shouldn't be exposed to the dangers of the world yet, hence why Axel wondered if the prince was ready to even participate in the tournament.

Everyone returned their gaze to the screen to see how Orion would handle the eight Blaze rats that were about to release a fireball from their mouths.

Someone else also noticed that the Blaze rats were about to attack the prince and yelled out for everyone to come take a look at what was about to happen.

"Hey!! Everyone!! The prince is about to face eight Blaze rats!!"

"What?"

"Eight Blaze rats?! That's impossible!!" A male elf said in disbelief.

"Hehe..... This, I've got to see," Another male elf hurried with everyone else to watch the prince battle the Blaze rats.

Right after the male elves hurried to watch the battle, the female elves in the hall began to gush over the prince as they rushed to watch Orion's battle with the Blaze rats.

"Hiyaah!! Prince Galdur, I'm coming to watch your battle!!"

"Huh? Prince Galdur?"

"Where is he?"

"He's over there… meditating."

"Oh my, the prince looks amazing as always. I love him so much."

"Me too."

"Me too!!!"

Everyone in the hall rushed over to watch how the prince would battle eight Blaze rats on his own.

Anyone could clearly see the excitement in the eyes of the onlookers and it just showed how much love and respect they had for their prince.

Seeing the way beautiful girls were gushing over the prince like lovesick maidens, many of the boys slammed their palms on their faces, trying desperately not to display how jealous they were of the prince.

While some were crying, wishing it was them who had received this special love and respect from the women around them, others gritted their teeth at their weakness and regretted not participating in the tournament like the prince.

Who knows, maybe the girls would have thought of them differently if they had summoned the courage to fight against a couple of Blaze rats.

But while the look of admiration and respect for the prince could be seen in everyone's eyes, they also had the look of concern and fear as well.

"Will the prince be alright?" A female elf wondered in fear.

"I hope so, I don't want anything to happen to my prince."

"Me too, I love the prince so much, I don't know what will become of me if anything were to happen to him."

"If anything happens to the prince, I'll kill those rats myself."

"Me too."

"Me three, I'll tear their limbs apart, burn them, and feed them to the bears."

The girls gritted their teeth with rage and their eyes burned with a fiery intensity.

They genuinely hoped nothing would happen to their beloved prince and their strong feelings towards the prince could be felt by their words and presence.

Even the males standing with the girls had to give the girls some space.

At this rate, it was better to put a safe distance between them until the battle ended.

They never knew women could become so scary when someone or something tried to harm the person they cared a lot about.

In a nutshell, this was how everyone in the hall and around the kingdom felt while watching the screen displayed by the crystal balls.

While many elves had a decent amount of love and adoration towards the prince, many shared an equal amount of fear and trepidation as well.

However, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief with their mouths opened wide as well when they noticed how Orion conjured a couple of vines to raise all the Blaze rats from the floor.

They watched as the vines with sharp thorns slowly circled and sliced every single one of the rats, causing a bloody shower to rain down on the ground.

The way the rats screamed in agony made everyone feel pity for the rats. Many had expected that the prince was strong, but they weren't expecting the margin of strength between the prince and the Blaze rats to be so wide.

"H-Hey Carl," Axel called his best friend's name with his gaze still fixated on the battle that had come to an end.

"Hmm, what?"

"Y-you're seeing this right?"

"Y-yes."

"D-doesn't this mean, H-His Highness is as strong as a Rank Three Mage?"

"Y-yes, it does."

"B-but, isn't he still a ten-year-old?"

"H-he is."

"C-carl?"

"Hmm?"

"We can't afford to waste any more time fooling around and doing nothing. We have to train harder and grow stronger the moment we return back to the village."

"Yes, we will."

Axel and Carl clenched their fists with their minds made up on what their goals were.

They wanted to become as strong as the prince.

They knew that Orion had been raised by the strongest mage and knight in the Kingdom, however, they also acknowledged his hard work.

They were certain that Orion's current strength and experience were a result of the hard work he implemented in improving himself.

Just like Carl and Axel, many young elves across the kingdom vowed to grow stronger and become worthy of being called an elven warrior.

Everyone in the hall watched as Orion stepped onto the magic circle before teleporting away from the forest and into a completely different building.

The screen then turned its focus toward other contestants fighting against another group of Blaze rats in the forest.

However, no one was interested in watching his fight.

"Hey, has anyone seen where the prince currently is?" Someone asked.

Since there were over twenty crystal balls floating mid-air and displaying different battles of contestants, there were also other crystal balls, displaying the contestants who had progressed to the next phase of today's tournament.

"I've seen the prince!!" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"He's over here, everyone come!!" A female elf yelled and everyone hurried to watch the prince. They were eager to see how the prince would surprise them once again.

However, while they were watching Orion arrive in an unfamiliar place, everyone noticed the difference in the ranking of the tournament.

[Tournament rankings and points.]

[1st:- Luna Cyprus.{900 points}.]

[2nd:- William Ramsbottom. {600 points}.]

[3rd:-  Barry Manchester {550 points}.]

[4th:- Adrian Meir {445 points}.]

[10th:- Orion Galdur Elfrida {180 points}.]

"Huh? Lady Luna is currently the first? What happened to Lord William, I thought he was leading the tournament a few minutes ago," One of the female elves in the hall asked.

"Yes, he had been in the lead a few minutes ago but the second phase of the tournament is extremely difficult. Only a few nobles have been able to answer their questions correctly," A male elf replied.

Another female elf added. "The only one who has been able to answer ninety percent of her questions correctly is Lady Luna and no one else has been able to do the same."

"Prince Galdur is currently 10th in the ranking. Is the prince's ranking so low because he is yet to complete the second phase of the tournament?"

"Yes, if he can answer ninety percent of the questions correctly, just like Lady Luna, His Highness will definitely be among the top three of the tournament."

"I hope he answers most of the questions correctly,"  a young female elf clamped her hands to her chest with a worried look on her face.

"Me too."

"Me three."

"Tch," A young male clicked his tongue.

"You girls are so annoying. Do you think other nobles were unable to earn high points because they didn't know the answers to the questions they were given?"

"Yes."

"You're wrong. Most of the nobles knew the answers to the questions but they were unable to answer the questions."

"What do you mean?"

The male elf smiled and replied. "I guess, you will have to find out yourself."

Right after the male elf said this, everyone turned their attention back to Orion who was currently talking to Hilda.

======

As Orion approached an unfamiliar place, he noticed Hilda walking in his direction with a bright smile on her face.

"Congratulations, Your Highness on successfully completing the first phase of the tournament."

"Thank you, Hilda," Orion replied with a smile on his face as well.

Hilda then guided him to where he needed to go next. "This way, Your Highness, the next phase of the tournament will be taking place here."

Hilda pointed to a door she wanted Orion to walk through.

Orion nodded his head in understanding, thanked Hilda, and then opened the door.

As Orion entered the room, his eyes became fixed on the imposing male elf standing before him.

Of all the elves Orion had seen since he arrived in this world, this particular male elf had to be the most muscular.

He wasn't really as tall as his mother and aunt, though. After all, they were high elves and no elf could ever be taller than a high elf.

However, this imposing male elf was as tall and muscular as an orc and he could easily terrify any elf that tried to fight against him.
