My Elf System-Chapter 215 - . Date 2.
A few minutes later, the trio left the cafe but the fun wasn’t over yet. Mia still had one more place she wanted to show them, so she took them to the enchanted gardens located in the academy.
The moment they stepped inside the garden, the air around them seemed different.
It looked like it had changed and it felt a lot more soothing as well.
They noticed different flowers that glowed and shimmered with beautiful but different colors as they passed through a winding path that led them straight to a small clearing with a crystal-clear pond.
The pond shimmered and sparkled under the bright sunlight and Dahlia couldn’t help but marvel at how beautiful the spot was.
"This place is beautiful," She whispered, and Mia grinned before twirling around in the open space. "It’s perfect, isn’t it? We should come here more often."
Orion stepped closer to Dahlia and asked. "What do you think, should we?"
She hesitated but smiled softly. "Y-Yes… I like it because It’s peaceful."
"Then we’ll definitely come here more often," Orion replied, then Mia grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the pond. "Come on, let’s see if the water is as magical as it looks!"
Orion laughed as he let Mia lead him to the pond while Dahlia followed quietly. The three of them sat at the edge of the pond and dipped their fingers into the cool water, watching as the ripples traveled until they disappeared.
The fun continued for a while and as the sun began to set, the trio found themselves sitting together under a large glowing tree. The tree had the ability to cast a warm light on anyone standing close to it and this light made them feel warm and relaxed while a soothing breeze caressed their faces.
This was the place Dahlia had decided that they should spend their evening at.

Mia leaned against Orion’s shoulder as her tails draped over his lap. "This is nice," She murmured with a soft voice. "I think we all needed this."
"Yeah, we did. And you were right, Mia, going out on this date was a great idea," Orion rested a hand on her head and stroked her sensitive ear gently.
He glanced at Dahlia and noticed that she sat a little apart from them with her hands folded on her lap.
He beckoned for her to come closer but before she could move towards him, Orion wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
She settled in beside him and her heart raced the moment she felt the warmth of his presence.
As the three of them sat together, the first stars began to appear in the sky, twinkling like tiny diamonds.
For a moment, everywhere was quiet and the three simply enjoyed the warmth and company of each other.
"Today was amazing, we should do this more often. It’s a good way to unwind."
"Agreed, but I have a feeling you’re already planning something for tomorrow," Orion smiled while patting her.
Mia giggled, and her tails flickered mischievously. "Hehe.... Maybe, but you’ll just have to wait and see,"
Dahlia glanced at Orion and uttered in a soft but sincere voice. "Thank you, Your Highness… for today."
Orion turned to her with a warm smile. "There’s no need to thank me, Dahlia. I enjoyed it just as much as you did."
She smiled and snuggled closer to him.
"Oh, that reminds me," Mia suddenly recalled something important. "The alchemy tournament starts tomorrow."
"Yeah, a few students from Stella Hall will be contesting in the tournament."

"Are we going to watch the tournament?" Dahlia asked with a soft voice.
"You want to watch the tournament tomorrow?" Orion asked.
"Yes, two of my friends will be participating in the tournament."
"Okay, then we’ll watch tomorrow’s tournament," Orion assured her and Dahlia couldn’t hide the excitement on her face.
She hugged and buried her face in his chest as she snuggled closer to him. The three remained like that as they enjoyed the comfort of the warmth between them.
The next morning, the sound of roaring cheers echoed throughout the halls of the Union World Academy’s grand coliseum.
This wasn’t a battlefield of swords and magical beasts, but of intellect and precision; still, the alchemy contest was able to draw a massive crowd into the arena.
"I never thought alchemy could attract this many people! Just look at the crowd," Mia said excitedly as she tried to find a good place for them to sit.
Orion chuckled as he walked behind Mia. "Alchemy is not just about potions and powders, Mia. When done right, It could decide the outcome of any battle."
Although Orion was right about the benefits of having knowledge in alchemy, this wasn’t the real reason why there was a lot of crowd in the arena.
The real reason was that a lot of the fans cheering today were the succubus princess fans.
Unlike Orion, Lilith was contesting in the alchemy tournament, so her fans were here to support her just as they did during the beast-taming tournament.
But since Lilith didn’t win the beast-taming tournament, one might wonder why she still had a lot of supporters cheering her on in this tournament. Well, this was because Asmodeus had promised to give them a reward just as he had promised to do so during the beast-taming tournament.
And since Lilith had a high chance of winning this tournament, her fans were a lot more energetic than ever before.
It was certainly a good thing to see the annoying elf prince not participating in the tournament because this meant that there was no one standing in the way of the succubus princess.
These were the thoughts that rose in the minds of all of Lilith’s fans.
Mia, Orion, and Dahlia settled down on their seats and watched as the coliseum floor transformed into a pristine arena.
At the center of the arena, two large alchemy workstations suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Each workstation was equipped with an array of tools like bubbling cauldrons, glass vials, and a glowing matrix of runic circles etched into the stone.
Each contestant would be enclosed in a translucent magical barrier to prevent interference while also allowing the audience to see their work clearly, for accountability and fairness.
