38. Ten Years.

It had been ten years since Orion began his training with Evelyn, Elena, and Mia.

Currently, he was seated on a bench in the courtyard.

He was alone with no one beside him because everyone else was busy making preparations for the tournament.

Orion had grown much taller and better looking in the past couple of years.

Not only had his understanding of magic spells and magic circles improved, but his proficiency in aura combat techniques had increased as well.

One could even say that Orion was prepared for any surprises the tournament had to offer.

However, Orion was also cautious enough to not feel too confident in himself because Evelyn had warned him about the possibility of the tournament being structured in a way that was different from what it used to be, and with the war ending two decades ago, the elf kingdom had forged a close relationship with other kingdoms.
