My Elf System

Chapter 71: 71. NET {30}:- Happy Reunion.

"... Prince Galdur!!!!" Ganesha announced, causing the crowd to come back to life.

The arena erupted in cheers like never before, and everyone congratulated Orion for winning the tournament, including Ganesha and the elders as well.

Orion turned around and looked at everyone within the arena that was calling out his name.

Tears unwittingly flowed down his cheeks and he tried his best to hide it.

It was the first time he was feeling this way. He had never felt so emotional before, and he felt like this because he suddenly recalled all the hard work he had put into his training.

He remembered everything his mother, aunt, and Mia had done for him, and he was glad to have these three beautiful females in his life.

The healers walked into the arena to take the unconscious Tengen away.

His three girlfriends also left their seats to check how he was doing in the treatment room.

They might have supported the prince a few minutes ago, but they still loved their boyfriend a lot.

They didn't care if he won or lost the tournament; their feelings for him didn't change, and it would always remain the same.

Meanwhile, Orion waved goodbye to everyone in the arena before making his way to the tunnels.

While walking, he could see Mia and Elena walking in his direction, but when Mia caught his eye from the distance, she instantly teleported herself in front of him to give him a hug.

"I knew it," Mia said while hugging him a bit more tightly. "I knew Master would win the tournament."

Hearing this, Orion's lips widened into a smile. "Thanks, Mia, I wouldn't have won without your help."

Mia giggled and she felt really happy to hear her beloved master, thanking her.

However, she suddenly recalled the things she noticed yesterday while she had been watching Orion's fight against Luna.

She wrapped her hands around Orion a bit more before saying to him.

"Master is mean."

"Why didn't you tell me, you could use Mama's magic too, like me?"

"We could have practiced a lot together."

"Mia isn't happy with master for not telling me."

Orion slowly pulled back from the hug, then he placed both of his hands on her cheeks while looking straight into her eyes.

'I'm sorry, Mia, I didn't mean to keep it a secret from you,' he apologized telepathically, placing his forehead on hers while looking straight into her eyes.

"Hmph, Mia still hasn't forgiven master yet." Mia harrumphed and looked away from his eyes.

Although she had already forgiven him, she didn't want Orion to know that she had forgiven him so quickly.

Orion rolled his eyes with a smile. He could already see her tails wagging excitedly after hearing how he had said he was sorry, but because his spirit guardian was just so cute, he decided to make her even more happy.

"How about we practice together for as long as you want?"

"Really?" Mia asked, finally looking into his eyes.

"Yes, just let me know when you're ready."

"Then, can we start now?"

Orion was about to give her a response, but he suddenly noticed Elena's hands on Mia's head.

"Mia, don't you think it would be better for the two of you to train tomorrow?" Elena suggested while kneeling before Orion to give him a hug. Then she congratulated him on winning the tournament.

"But…" Mia tried to protest but didn't know what else to say.

She knew Orion might be feeling a bit tired after fighting against Tengen, but she really wanted to train with him.

She had been feeling this way since she had watched his fight yesterday, and she couldn't wait to get started, but if Orion didn't want to train now, then she would wait until he was ready.

"Aunt Elena, I don't mind training with Mia now if she wants to."

"Really?" Mia asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She was worried her master wouldn't be interested in training with her now, but after hearing what Orion said, she was glad he was just as eager as her to train and spar together.

Her master was simply the best!!!

This was why she loved him so much.

"Are you sure?" Elena asked Orion.

"Yes, Auntie," Orion replied with a nod.

"Alright then, you'll be allowed to train with Mia, but first, the two of you have to attend the award ceremony."

"Okay," Orion and Mia replied in unison, then glanced at each other before giggling to themselves.

They thanked Elena before they all moved on to meet Evelyn in the room reserved for the royal family.

"What's Mama doing?" While they were walking, Orion suddenly wondered what Evelyn could possibly be doing for her to have not congratulated him till now.

"She's currently saying a few things to the elders and tournament officials, but once she's done, she should... oh, she's here."

The moment Elena said this, Orion suddenly felt himself being lifted from the ground.

It was his beautiful mother and she instantly rained kisses on his face, causing Orion to giggle.

"Hehe… Mama stop," Orion wanted Evelyn to stop because they weren't in the castle right now, and if anyone walked towards where they were, they would certainly see what she was doing.

Although Evelyn wasn't bothered by this, she stopped herself from continuously kissing Orion, but instead looked into his eyes, then hugged him gently.

"Oh, my sweet little prince. Mama wasn't expecting you to act so mature when answering all of Ganesha's questions. Your fights in the arena were really good too. Mama is so proud of you, sweetie. Oh, and congratulations on winning the tournament."

"Thanks, Mama," Orion hugged her tightly in return.

"I love you so much, sweetie."

"I love you too, Mama."

"I love you more."

"And I love you the most."

Hearing this, Evelyn's heart skipped a beat and her love for her precious little baby intensified once again. "Ufufufu, that's it, Baby just earned himself a hundred kisses from Mama."

Orion's face turned beet red when he suddenly realized what Evelyn wanted to do. "Huh? No!! Mama wait, everyone will see!!"

"Ufufufu, Mama doesn't care about that. It's baby's fault for making Mama so happy right now. So you had better take responsibility for what you've done," Evelyn continued to rain kisses all over his face and Orion laughed and giggled with Elena and Mia smiling behind them.

A/N:- Thank you so much for reading to this point of the book. It's been a difficult but also thrilling journey for me. To be honest, I've never written about a tournament before, but I wanted mine to feel different and special from most books I've read.

Also, I wasn't sure if anyone would like the fight scenes because I'm not really good at writing one, but, the love and support you guys showed made me feel eager to improve when writing future action and snu snu scenes. Thank you so much, once again.
