My Elf System

Sabrina swiftly cast a spell as the paper flew towards her face but just before the papers could hit her, they halted and began to hover before her.

She took a brief look at all the students' images but her expression remained the same.

Then she returned her gaze to Lucille.

"Do you really believe that these students are as impressive as you say they are?" Sabrina asked, doubting the council members' opinion that these students were very talented individuals.

"Yes."

"Don't you think you might be overestimating these kids a bit too much?"

"They're old enough to be called adults," Lucille corrected her.

"Who cares? It still doesn't change the fact that none of them have any real battle or war experience. They're all a bunch of greenhorns who'll easily cower once they're up against an opponent, six ranks above theirs."

"Any sane witch, elf, or demon would cower once they realized that their opponent was six ranks above theirs."

"I wouldn't."

"You're different."

"I'm unique."

"True, but you're also weird as well."

Sabrina didn't like the way Lucille called her weird, causing her to mutter to herself so that Lucille wouldn't hear her. "This is why you're an annoying winged chicken."

"What did you just call me?"

"Nothing."

"....." Lucille squinted her eyes as she looked at Sabrina intently. She had clearly heard what the witch said but she decided not to comment on it. "Anyways, not all students can be as unique as you."

"Then that makes them ordinary students and the same as everyone else. If they were specifically invited by the academy, I expect them to be unique as well."

"Does this mean you won't be taking them under your tutelage?" Lucille asked Sabrina with a neutral look on her face, making it difficult for Sabrina to know how Lucille truly felt at the moment.

Anyway, it certainly didn't look like Lucille would be funding any of her future experiments if Sabrina decided not to take these students under her guidance.

With a heavy sigh, Sabrina reluctantly agreed. "Whatever. I'll do it. But you must promise to keep funding my research."

Lucille smiled and replied. "I will, but you must take your job seriously."

"Yeah, yeah. I will try to be a passionate teacher."

"Great, if you can do this, the students will be really pleased to have an excellent teacher like you," Lucille replied excitedly.

Noticing the excited look on Lucille's face, Sabrina sighed deeply. "I know you believe the children are special, but I don't think any of them could ever excite me the way you are right now."

Hearing this, Lucille's lips widened into a smile.

"You might be right about that, Sabrina, but do you remember all the teleportation arrays that were suddenly constructed in the academy?"

"Yes, I do."

Lucille's lips widened even more, and she leaned forward to point her finger at the paper that had Orion's image on it. "He was the one who designed those Teleportation arrays."

Looking at the image on the paper, Sabrina swiftly grabbed the paper. "What? Him? But, he's just eighteen."

"Precisely, and this means he still has a lot of room to grow."

"You've met with him already?"

"Of course, who do you think sent the Academy's letter of invitation to the elf kingdom?"

"Oh, yeah. You're right."

"Anyway, the prince is simply extraordinary. When I stepped into the elf kingdom, I was surprised to see how he had completely revolutionized the kingdom. Everyone in the Elf kingdom idolizes him, and they strongly believe that he'll grow to become the greatest Elf king in their history."

"D-Did he have help from someone more experienced than him? Like a teacher? A mentor? Or maybe the help of an Apex Mage, like his mother? I would like to know who taught him how to construct those runes he used in the teleportation arrays?"

Lucille smiled as she replied, noticing the subtle changes in Sabrina's demeanor. "Surprisingly, he developed those runes himself. And as far as I know, he is just as passionate about runes as you."

Hearing all these, Sabrina's eyes widened in surprise.

'He developed those runes himself?' Sabrina thought to herself in disbelief.

'But he's just eighteen.'

'And he didn't have a rune expert to mentor him?'

'That's impossible.'

'But then again, why would the winged chicken lie to me? Anyways, it's still hard to believe this because even hundred-year-old mages aren't able to construct runes the way he did,' Sabrina wondered how Orion was able to design the teleportation arrays in several corners of the academy, so she decided to ask Lucille.

"How did he construct those runes needed to create those arrays?"

"If you want to know, then I believe you will have to speak to him, yourself."

Sabrina held the paper with Orion's face on it and looked at it once again to have a mental picture of him in her head so that it would be easier to spot him once all the students enrolled in a few hours.

Anyway, it didn't seem like it would be difficult to identify the prince because Orion was the only male high elf in the world, so identifying him should be very easy.

Based on what she had heard so far, Sabrina was certain that Orion understood a lot about runes, so she wondered just how much he knew about runes, compared to her.

Now, she was very interested in seeing Orion.

She had a lot of questions for him and she couldn't wait to meet him in person.

Her lips instinctively stretched into a smile when she began to imagine how Orion would explain how he was able to construct such wonderful runes, to her.

Meanwhile, Lucille giggled internally after noticing the excited look on Sabrina's face. She was certain that even Sabrina didn't know she was currently smiling to herself like a little girl who had been gifted something precious.

Lucille knew how passionate Sabrina was about things related to runes, so she had expected Sabrina to be more than willing to become Orion's teacher.

And with the rune monarch journal in Sabrina's possession, Lucille hoped the two of them would be able to combine their great minds together to discover and develop things that would awe the world.

Of course, Lucille would be more than happy to announce to the world that she had played an important role as well.
