Chapter 158: 158. Sparring With Dahlia.
"No, I don't want to be a great knight. I'm already a strong knight."
"Then we'll make you a stronger knight, and you'll never have dirty thoughts about women again. You'll become a knight who only thinks about men in the knight brotherhood."
"Eww, that sounds sus, I don't want that! Besides, I love thinking about women; it means I'm healthy. Haven't you ever heard that oppai is life?"
"Nope."
"Hehehe... You're one of us now, so you gotta work hard for your fiancée if you know what I mean," Arthur said, winking at Adrian, who had nothing to say.
He could only keep crying as tears streamed down his cheeks, and he continued screaming out Luna's name while Aslan dragged him away to a different spot in the large training ground.
Although Adrian might have looked like he didn't want to train with Aslan and Arthur, the truth was that he really wanted to train with them and he couldn't wait to get started, but he also didn't want to look like he was holding them back.
Unlike the other three, Adrian was a Rank seven knight, just like his fiancée, and this meant that he wouldn't be able to keep up with the intense training Arthur and Aslan were about to embark on.
However, Adrian didn't want to give up so easily. He wanted to see how hard he could train so he could impress his beautiful and sexy fiancee who happened to be a rank below him in the academy.
Meanwhile, Orion smiled as he heard Adrian yelling out Luna's name and vowing to grow stronger in order to make her proud of him.
Just like Adrian, Luna was also in the academy, but she wasn't in Stella Hall, and she couldn't hear anything her fiance was yelling out loud right now.
'Who would have thought that these two would become so close?'Orion never expected Luna to become Adrian's fiancée so soon.
Eight years ago, Orion won both the Adult and Junior Noble Elf tournaments, while Luna and Adrian won second and third place, respectively, in the Junior tournament section.
After the tournament, Orion went on a couple of dungeon quests with Adrian, Tengen, Luna, and William Ramsbottom.
One thing led to another, and Luna and Adrian both discovered the feelings they had for each other; the two had been dating ever since.
With the way their relationship progressed so rapidly, it was only a matter of time before the two of them became husband and wife.
Drifting his mind towards something else, Orion turned around to face Dahlia who had appeared behind him.
Since he had sparred against Aslan, Arthur, and Adrian, it was now time to completely focus on his beautiful maid.
"Shall we begin?" Orion asked and Dahlia nodded with a smile.
Orion smiled and grabbed her hand while he led the way in search of a good spot for them to train.
Dahlia was surprised to see Orion holding onto her hand while walking. She wondered how the prince could do things like these without worrying about her status or the fact that she was hundreds of years older than him.
It was not like Dahlia didn't like the experiences she'd been having with Orion, it was just that everything she had been experiencing with Orion felt new to her, but it was certainly an experience she didn't want to end now or ever.
She really liked staying with her prince, and she hoped that he would one day permit her to not only be his personal maid at the academy but also in the elf kingdom as well.
Nothing would make her happier than being with her prince for as long as possible.
Meanwhile, Orion continued to look for a good spot for them to train.
The training ground was unlike any other training ground Orion had ever seen before.
It was extremely big, with large magic circles glowing in different places on the training ground.
Each magic circle had a specific function and was different from the other.
There was also a spot in the training ground that had different obstacle courses, and there were areas where students could focus on improving their archery as well.
After a few minutes, Orion found the magic circle he was looking for, thanks to his Omnivision skill.
The moment they arrived there, Dahlia summoned the courage to call out to Orion.
"Your Highness?"
"What is it, Dahlia?"
"The combat technique you used a few minutes ago, what tier is it?"
Orion smiled and replied, "It's a tier four aura combat technique. Would you like to learn it?" The combat technique had specifically been developed by Elena, so there was no one who had seen or learned it before her, except him.
It was a tier-four combat technique, and this meant that it was quite dangerous in its own right. But unlike most of the other tier four techniques, it was very easy to learn, and Orion wouldn't mind teaching it to his beautiful maid.
"Yes," Dahlia replied excitedly. She heard Orion saying he would teach Aslan, Arthur, and Adrian but Dahlia wanted to learn it as well and she couldn't hide how happy she was right now.
Orion nodded his head in understanding, with a smile on his face. He could see that Dahlia really wanted to learn the technique, however, if she wanted to learn it, then she would have to work very hard for it. "Alright, Dahlia, if you land a hit on me, I'll teach you the technique. And as a bonus, I'll grant you any wish you desire."
"Really?" Dahlia's eyes widened with surprise, and she couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Her ears twitched with excitement, and her lips widened into a smile when she realized that she would really be rewarded by Orion if she was able to land a hit on him.
Her eyes instantly sparkled with determination as she drew two wooden daggers from her item box before channeling her aura into the weapons.
"I won't hold back, Your Highness," Dahlia warned Orion as she waited for their fight to begin.
Orion felt the same way as well and gave Dahlia the signal to start.
