Chapter  63. NET {22}. Junior Noble Elf Tournament Final..

Just before Orion and Luna arrived at the arena and Ganesha announced the fight, Orion walked out of the tunnel, planning out what his tactics for his final fight in the Junior Noble Elf Tournament would be.

Before today's fight, Orion had been using the past two days to learn and familiarize himself with some of the contestants' fighting styles and techniques, and Luna was among the list of elves he had been watching very closely.

'So far, I've learned that she likes to keep  a distance between herself and her opponent.'

'I also noticed that she prioritizes magic rather than direct combat.'

'I guess this means close-quarter combat isn't actually her forte.'

'Aside from this, I heard she has a high amount of mana capacity as well.'

'I guess this must be thanks to her trait as a moon elf, and so far, she's been using it to her advantage.'

'Although her mana capacity might be higher than that of a forest elf and dark elf, it still can't be compared to that of a high elf.'

'Her knowledge in magic spells is really good as well, and it seems she's been studying very hard to memorize magic circles.'

'However, with what I've noticed so far, I'm certain that mine and Mia's understanding of magic circles far exceeds that of Luna's.'

'I will definitely win this tournament,' Orion clenched his fist as he uttered this last statement in his mind.

With his mind made up on what he wanted to do, Orion walked towards Ganesha with Luna also arriving beside him.

"Are you ready?" Ganesha asked them both and they both replied with a nod.

With that, he announced.."Fight!!"

The moment Ganesha declared this, Luna created space between the two of them.

'I knew it.'

'She's trying to create a certain distance between us so that she'll be able to cast spells from a safe point.'

'She must believe that by doing this, I won't be able to close the distance between us so easily.'

'However, she's wrong about this,' Orion smiled to himself as he pulled out a sword from his item box.

He wasn't bothered by the distance Luna was trying to create between them because he was confident in his ability to easily close the distance himself.

So, he confidently strode forward, holding his sword in his hand.

Orion's grip on his sword tightened as he distributed his aura around his body.

He noticed a magic circle suddenly appearing underneath his feet.

Of course, the magic circle belonged to Luna as she was trying to cast a tier-one wind spell on him.

However, Orion quickly recognized what the spell was, and just as the magic circle appeared underneath his feet, it swiftly shattered into tiny magical particles, shocking everyone in the arena, including Luna, who had never witnessed anyone capable of neutralizing a spell.

She cast a new spell but the result remained the same.

However, she wasn't going to give up so soon. Instead, Luna cast more spells but none of them were having any effect on Orion.

He kept altering the effect of her spells, pushing Luna to end up at her wit's end as she tried to figure out a way to counter any of Orion's attacks before it was too late.

There was no doubt about it.

Among her peers, Luna was clearly talented for her to have memorized a lot of tier one spells, thereby enabling her to easily cast tier one spells without chanting them out loud.

However, that was the limit of her understanding.

Her magical affinities were wind magic and plant magic, so she had memorized all tier one wind and plant magic spells but not the tier two spells.

Anyone could memorize a magic circle, but it wasn't easy to do so, and it was time-consuming as well.

It would only become more difficult to memorize if a mage tried to memorize magic circles of higher tiers.

Hence, why Luna had found it difficult to memorize a tier two spell for both her wind and plant magic affinity.

And this was where Orion had the upper hand because he had already successfully memorized all tier two spells and magic circles for both of her magical affinities, making it easier for him to easily alter or neutralize all of the tier one spells Luna was casting. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At this point, it was easy for everyone to see who had the upper hand in this fight.

Unlike Orion who was both proficient in using Aura and mana, Luna only specialized in using mana.

This meant that she had no experience in direct combat and so wouldn't be able to parry any of Orion's sword attacks once he decided to strike.

Everyone could clearly see that the moment Orion decided to strike, Luna would certainly lose this fight.

However, hope wasn't lost.

Luna was still very young, so she could use the fight to improve on her weaknesses and grow stronger in the future.

She was currently fifteen years of age, which meant she had a lot of time to grow and improve on what she had learned so far, but Luna had no intention of giving up so soon, even though a lot of the tournament officials and spectators expected her to.

Just like every other contestant who had participated in the tournament, Luna had her own personal reason for participating in the tournament.

Contestants from humble backgrounds joined the contest with the hope of becoming a noble or being recognized as a knight for the elven kingdom.

As for the young nobles participating in the tournament, they simply wished to earn a noble title similar to that of their parents or a rank higher than that of their parents.

This meant that the top three winners of the Junior Noble Elf Tournament stood a chance of becoming a Duke or Earl, and they would officially be recognized and respected as a noble across the kingdom even though they might be between the ages of ten and seventeen.

However, this wasn't what Luna wanted.
