Chapter 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. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The young noble flew upwards, his body arcing through the air, before crashing to the ground with a thud.
"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."
