"Okay, okay, don't tease little Riya now…" (Syvis)
Syvis gently twisted Vanya's ear and made her beg for rcy.
Vanya had no choice but to admit defeat under her mother's pressure.
Syvis then glanced at Riya and patted her head gently.
"Young lady, no one is going to take him away from you, haha" (Syvis)
Only after Syvis's assurance did Riya finally loosen her grip on Link's hand.
"I heard you wanted to enhance your healing abilities… what do you say, will you like to learn from for the next few days?" (Syvis)
Hearing Syvis's words, Riya's eyes widened in surprise.
She knows that Syvis is a genuine SS-rank healer, and being taught by her directly is definitely a great help for her.
"Link's father has also given his permission, so there shouldn't be any problem I think…" (Syvis)
Riya glanced at Ashtel and seeing that he nodded his head in agreent, Riya also agreed to it.
"Good, haha, you resemble Vanya's younger self, she used to be such a happy and careless girl back then, and now she has beco so crafty… sigh~ children grow up so fast…" (Syvis)
For Syvis this is an opportunity to teach a person who can beco an excellent healer in the future and for Riya this is an opportunity to improve her healing capabilities.
Thus it's a win-win situation for both of them.
…
After these few small events, the party continued without any problems.
Maids brought over food and served it to all of them.
While eating the food, Rio glanced at Al and asked:
"Didn't you say so of your father's friends were going to co too?" (Rio)
"Ah, it seems the friends he ntioned were actually Mr. Ashtel and Jin after all…" (Al)
"He called them friend? Even though he was about to attack father just the other day…" (Link)
"Hmm, perhaps they might have worked on so missions together before… also didn't Ms. Raji ntion that Elf King and Link's father t in the previous eting?" (Liam)
"Cough, ah, yes, I was quite young back then, but I vaguely rember that the two of them fought with each other for so reason…" (Al)
"They ended up destroying a garden which mother liked a lot… I think it might not have been a real fight…" (Al)
"After all, if two SS-rankers of their strength had fought, just the shockwaves produced by the collision of their attacks could have wiped out the whole Elven Empire…" (Al)
"They likely suppressed their strengths and just a little confrontation… an aura comparison perhaps?" (Liam)
"No it could be an arm wrestle, Father seems to like that sport… I have seen him attend arm wrestling tournants before…" (Link)
"Hmm, that is also possible…" (Al)
All four of them nodded their heads, all boys could agree that arm wrestling is an amazing sport.
"If not for Mother's anger, the two of them might have really fought a proper duel… and that would have been quite bad for the planet I think…" (Al)
"Yeah, your mother is indeed quite capable, she made two SS-rankers stop fighting and even scolded them… a truly courageous person…" (Liam)
"Ahem… I think the two of them didn't want to see how the healer can use healing magic in a wrong way…. Cough!" (Al)
"Cough…ahem! W-we shouldn't talk about that forbidden subject…" (Liam)
Link and Rio rolled their eyes and didn't say anything else either as they both knew not to dwell too deep in this abyss.
…
While the boys were busy having so shady discussions, the Girls were also having personal talks while sitting beside another dining table.
"Your Transformation magic is quite good actually…" (Riya)
Riya glanced at the mountainous weapons in Vanya's arsenal with great jealousy.
Riya thought in her mind:
'If I had transformation magic, I would have made mine even bigger!' (Riya)
"Haha, it's not my real magic actually, my magical affinity is fire magic. This transformation magic was given to by the world tree's blessing…." (Vanya)
"Generally only spirit beings or high-ranked monsters like dragons have the ability to transform their body to their will, but in so rare occasions even ordinary people can use it…" (Vanya)
"Just like …" (Vanya)
While saying that Vanya used transformation magic on her hand and her hand instantly bulged up with thick and strong muscles.
"It costs a lot of mana to maintain it though… unlike Link who naturally has a strong physique I make it through transformation so mine consu a lot of mana…" (Vanya)
"But as you are a mage, your mana capacity should be bigger, no?" (Lia)
"Yeah, that's the reason why I can maintain the transformation form for a long ti.." (Vanya)
[Girl, if you encounter her in the tournant tomorrow, you will not be able to win unless you go all out and use my blessings…] (Kai)
[Moreover, she is an A-ranker, she will be a troubleso foe to deal with…] (Kai)
'I know, I can feel it that it's going to be as difficult as dealing with a slightly weaker version of Link…' (Lia)
Lia couldn't help but be astonished at how many talented people are gathered in this one place right now.
Not only did she et Miki just the other day whose reaction ti and perception were nearly at Rio's level, but today she even t Vanya who can tank a head-on blow from Link too.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The tournant hasn't even started yet, the hole cards haven't even been shown yet.
'It seems the tournant is going to be a lot lively… there will be many opponents worth fighting…' (Lia)
Originally Lia wasn't that optimistic about the tournant as she knew that with Rio and Link on their team, they were bound to win, but now that she has t the talented people from other races, her expectations have risen.
'I am looking forward to it…' (Lia)
…
anwhile on the third table, consisting of the adults.
"Sigh, drinking this elven wine is making rember so pleasant mories of my wife actually…" (Ashtel)
"This is the 'rembrance wine' created from the flowers of rembrance that are only found in a garden blessed by the world tree itself…" (Ryul)
"It can make people rember people their happy mories… it's good for ntal health, but if soone below rank SS drinks it, they will faint on the spot due to not being able to handle the amount of mana in this wine…" (Ryul)
Jin nodded his head and said in an amused tone.
"This is certainly the heaviest and most lethal wine I have ever drunk… even an S-ranker might pass out cold for a few hours after drinking this thing…" (Jin)
"Well, Syvis made it personally, obviously it's going to be good!" (Ryul)
"Haha, you praise too much darling…. But rember not to drink too much of it or you are not going to have any tomorrow!" (Syvis)
"Ehhh! I want more~" (Ryul)
"Nope, you aren't getting it…" (Syvis)
…
The ti passed and hours went by, after enjoying the party, the group of students got up to leave.
Vanya stretched out her hand for a handshake and said in a calm tone:
"I look forward to your performance in tomorrow's match Link, Make sure you make it to the finals so that we can fight each other without anyone getting in our way of having a fun battle…" (Vanya)
Link shook her hand and nodded his head:
"You too…" (Link)
Al then shook hands with Rio and said:
"I am already an S-ranker so I will not be fighting in this tournant, but I will cheer for you all from the spectator's bench…" (Al)
Rio nodded his hand at Al and then left with the rest of the group.
While on the way back, Liam glanced at Link and whistled:
*Whistle~*
"You chard the Elf princess so hard, she directly proposed marriage to you dude!" (Liam)
Rio also nodded his head at Liam's words.
"I didn't expect you to be such a womanizer, Link…" (Rio)
Riya who was already upset at Link imdiately pouted her cheeks and said in an angry tone.
"You were really enjoying yourself back there when you shook hands with her, huh…" (Riya)
Seeing that everyone was accusing Link, Lia, and Ellie also didn't hold back:
"Link is a womanizer…" (Ellie)
"Link is a womanizer…" (Lia)
A deep frown appeared over Link's face after hearing them all falsely accuse him for no reason.
"Ugh… you guys are thinking too much, I have devoted my heart to Riya, no one else can sway at all!" (Link)
"Riya is the most beautiful woman in the world!!" (Link)
Due to being annoyed by them all, Link ended up shouting that line at the top of his lungs, and people even opened their house windows to see who was declaring their love so loudly in the middle of the night.
Riya's face turned as red as a tomato after hearing Link declare those words so loudly.
…
