My Elf System

A few days had passed since Daisy had asked Orion to draw a portrait of her, and he had successfully done this.

He was currently on his way to see Daisy and he hastened his steps towards her office.

In less than a minute, Orion arrived at her office and found her seated on a chair while drinking tea and staring at something on her smart bracelet.

She was looking at what Orion had sent to her last night.

It was images of the portrait he had drawn.

Daisy was smiling while looking at the pictures, and then she noticed him walking into her office, so she beckoned for him to take a seat before switching off her smart bracelet.

She then began to pour some tea for Orion to drink as well.

"Have you seen it?" Orion asked while sitting down.

"Yes, I have, and I like it."

"Not exactly the response I was expecting."

Daisy giggled after hearing this. "Oh really? Then what were you expecting?"

Orion shrugged and replied. "Well, I was kinda expecting you to react differently to the nude portrait I sent to you."

Orion had sent an image of the portraits he drew, and this included the nude portrait he made, so he had been expecting Daisy to say something about the nude portrait he'd made of her.

"Actually, I wanted you to make one for me but I hadn't known if you would be interested in doing that."

"Yeah, I noticed you were interested in the nude portrait, so I decided to make yours as well. Although, It wouldn't have surprised me if you had thought I was weird for sending something like that to you."

"Nah, why would I think that?"

"Because it was drawn by your student."

"I don't mind seeing a nude portrait of myself," Daisy said with a smile while brewing Orion's tea.

"Really?"

"Yes, I kinda liked it," Daisy placed Orion's tea in front of him.

"Oh, this is interesting."

"What is?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just thinking that there was definitely nothing weird in what you just said," Orion drank his tea while acting as though what Daisy said wasn't weird in any way.

Daisy noticed the weird look on Orion's face and she giggled again. "You think I'm weird because I like a portrait of myself?"

"A little."

"Well, would I still be called weird if I asked you to draw a similar portrait but from a different angle?"

"Yep, you'd definitely be called a weird professor if you made such a request."

"Then I guess I am. So, what do you say?"

"You really want another nude portrait?"

"Yes, I would like to have another one."

"And you don't find it strange to be asking for this from your student?"

"Nope, I don't think it's strange because I'm simply asking a talented artist to make me a portrait."

Orion squinted his eyes and replied. "It's still the same thing."

Daisy giggled after noticing what he did. "Maybe you're right, but it's not like I'm asking you to watch me undress before drawing a portrait of me."

"That's even worse," Orion shook his head before grabbing his mug to take another sip of his tea.

"Nope, a worst-case scenario would be if I asked you to have sex with me."

Orion spat out the tea he was drinking and was left speechless by what Daisy just said. He looked at her face and noticed that she didn't feel ashamed about what she said.

She simply smiled and continued to drink her tea. It was natural for her to say things like this to people she felt comfortable around, so she didn't mind what she said to him.

Moreover, Orion was nothing more than a student to her and this was how she viewed their relationship.

"Are you alright?" Daisy asked, noticing how Orion was still coughing.

"I'm fine."

Daisy offered him some water and he thanked her. "Anyways, why would you want another portrait?" He asked.

"The drawings and paintings you made were good but I noticed a few things you can improve on."

Daisy explained the things she wanted him to pay more attention to and revealed the areas she wanted him to improve on.

Orion made a mental note of everything she said and the moment she was done, Daisy asked him a question.

She wanted Orion to show her how he usually drew from memory. She also wanted him to teach her how to do it.

"So, what do you think, will you be able to teach me? It's fine if you think you can't, I'll just have to…"

"I can, but that would have to be after the tournament," Orion replied and Daisy nodded her head in understanding.

She knew it would be a lot better to have Orion teaching her once the tournament was over because right now, every student was focused on trying to make sure they could take part in the upcoming tournament.

Not everyone would be able to qualify for the upcoming tournament, but everyone was eager to do their best with the hope of participating in the main tournament, and Daisy wanted Orion to have enough time and space to prepare properly for the tournament as well.

She didn't mind the fact that she would be learning from her students. She might be a professor and Orion might be a student, but no one said a professor couldn't learn something new from her student.

The academy was a place to learn and she would be happy to learn something new, even if her student happened to be the one teaching it to her.

So, with this thought in mind, Daisy couldn't wait for the tournament to officially begin and finally end, because the moment the tournament ended, Orion would have more than enough time to teach her everything she wanted to know.

The two continued to converse, and Daisy offered a few words of advice to him on how to improve his drawing; then she asked him if he had anything to talk to her about concerning the culinary recipe book she left in the class.

They discussed a few things about beast taming and this was how Orion and Daisy spent the rest of the time. She really wanted to know if Orion would be interested in joining her art guild, but she knew that now was not the best time to ask him such a question.

So she decided to wait until the tournament came to an end before asking him if he would be interested in joining her guild.

A few hours later, Orion and Daisy were done for the day and he thanked her for everything she had explained to him.

Although she was a bit weird and shameless while talking about inappropriate things with her students, Orion noticed that Daisy was actually a pretty good professor.

He stood up from the chair to leave and walked towards Daisy's door, but while walking out of her office, Orion made a mental note of the things he wanted to do.

He had no other class to attend today, so he ventured out to clear more C-Rank dungeons and labyrinths, and he spent the next few days training and clearing dungeons.

It didn't take Orion more than a week to clear at least three dungeons and labyrinths in the city. Then he made a request to Lucille, and she gave him the permission he needed to clear more dungeons outside the city. This was how Orion spent the next couple of weeks before the activity club tournament finally began.

For about two months, Orion trained, meditated, and fought against monsters. He also spent some time with Sabrina, helping her to decipher runes whenever the two of them weren't busy.

Aslan, Arthur, and Adrian also focused on their training as well, and they joined Orion in Airball training with Professor Draco.

Dahlia and Mia's intense training continued as well and it was only a matter of time before Dahlia successfully ranked higher from a Rank 9 to a Rank 10 knight, enabling her to easily become a transcendent being.

She had spent the past two months training very hard with Mia, and the moment she noticed that she had reached a bottleneck, Dahlia focused on meditation as she secluded herself so she could fully focus on it.

Orion also isolated himself so he could go into meditation after hitting a stumbling block, so he meditated and would soon be reaching a breakthrough.

However, he wasn't the only one who was about to achieve a breakthrough as Elena was also about to officially become an Apex Knight, and the moment her ascension became complete, every other Apex Mage and Knight in the mortal realm became aware that a new Apex Knight had been added to their ranks.
