Elves: My Fantasy World

After the opening ceremony, Lu Minxi brought Shen Yu and his group back to the hotel.

"This is amazing... This is the first time I've seen such a grand opening ceremony. This is a world-class competition..."

Liu Yade's voice sounded immediately afterwards.

"Then keep up the good work~ If you get a place, the final award ceremony will be even more grand than this opening ceremony~"

"Hey~~ Uncle Hua Qiang, I thought you were going to tell us to work hard to become the king..."

Lu Minxi smiled and turned half her head away.

"There's no opening ceremony for the King's Battle~"

"why?"

Ning Fuyuan grabbed Cao Yan's shoulders and revealed a pair of eyes... The little girl knew nothing about the King of Kings Tournament.

Lu Minxi looked at Qiu Qinghao, who nodded and began to explain—

"Because there are trainers who will use all means to win in the Prototype Battles... In order to protect their hidden strengths, and to hide the currently unpopular fighting methods, no footage or information from any Prototype Battles is allowed to be leaked. All Prototypes must swear an oath to the symbolic deity of that event."

Qiu Qinghao pushed his glasses.

"But, this latter reason will probably no longer apply soon, right?"

Lu Minxi didn't answer, but just shrugged and smiled.

"Who knows~"

"Let's go take a look around the hall and get ready for lunch~"

…………

Shen Yu originally wanted to sit at Yang Du's table and compete with them for food... but in the end, Lu Minxi pulled him over to sit at the same table with them.

There are seven kings, Shen Yu, Lu Minxi, and Xia Xingran - exactly ten in total.

Tsk...how abominable.

Wouldn’t you be shocked if I added a few baby chairs specially for elves next to it?

At this time, Zhao Feng, who was facing the table of Yang Du and his friends, narrowed his eyes.

"Weren't there six little ghosts when we came? And there's another one? Mr. Shen, do you know?"

Shen Yu knew who was missing without even looking back.

"Don't worry. He's probably... out looking for his own opportunity, right?"

Opportunity?

Is that still a saying these days? This is the world of elves, Mr. Shen! Don't bring that into your novel!

Looking at Zhao Feng's expression with one eye larger than the other, Shen Yu knew what he was thinking...

But Shen Yu wouldn't say that Ye Xuanming might just be following the system's instructions to cheat—

Hey~ Maybe during the competition you will be able to see a Ye Xuanming who is even more inhuman?

While chatting and laughing, Shen Yu felt his shoulders being patted twice.

"Shen Yu?!"

The voice sounded familiar, and so did the look in Lu Minxi's eyes.

That was the look in his eyes when I saw him standing with Cheng Xi.

"Xingran is here too?! Are you guys here to participate in the competition as well?"

Shen Yu looked back and saw that he didn't even stand up. He just raised his head slightly and could see the face of the girl behind him.

"Asharuo?"

"it's me!"

A cheerful and lively girl with short red hair stood behind him, her hands on Shen Yu's shoulders, her bright smile full of excitement at seeing her friend.

"My parents are back, so I came out to gain experience! I didn't expect to see you all here!"

Yasha Le placed a hand on Xia Xingran's shoulder, leaned over and rubbed her cheek against the super girl.

Yashale felt that Xia Xingran seemed a little different from before.

After rubbing her cheeks this time, this super girl who was previously cold on the outside but warm on the inside seemed to be able to show her inner warmth——

His face flushed as he smiled at her.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

!!!

Yasha laughed even more happily.

"Teacher Shen, is he your friend?"

The college students at the table behind were curious when they saw that there was a girl who looked younger than themselves and was so familiar with Shen Yu.

"Teacher Shen...?"

"So you're the team leader?! So cool!"

Shen Yu didn't know what to say to this girl whose enthusiasm was a bit exaggerated...

Well, this feeling is not bad.

"She's a friend I met when Xingran and I were dealing with some things in France. At that time, we also participated in the competition she held in the city as a gym leader."

Shen Yu originally thought that after this explanation, the champion girl beside him would look better - but who knew that after this sentence came out, her expression became even more terrifying!

Why? Didn’t I make it clear?

Besides! This girl is only fifteen years old!

"Are you here to participate in the junior division competition?"

"Yeah! Not long after you left, my parents came back and took me through some serious training! But thankfully, you guys stayed with me for a while. Later, I had a clearer idea of ​​how to improve, and I could even plan my own path... Speaking of which, it was all thanks to your guidance back then!"

Teacher Shen’s teachings?!

Shen Yu originally thought that Yasha Le was already the ultimate social expert, but he never expected that there were other masters——

"Please sit here!"

Yasha was a little confused and was pulled over by a group of college students from behind.

"...Um...well, we are Mr. Shen's students..."

"I know……"

Yashale was not panicked. Instead, after this group of college students pulled her over, they stammered and didn't know what to say, and had to rely on Yashale to find topics to talk about.

She looked around...

"You guys are so strong."

"Eh?"

Yang Du was stunned and blinked.

He seemed to sense that this girl in front of him, who was only in high school at Dongyao judging by her age, was unusual.

"How did you tell?"

Yasha Leng pointed at his nose.

"I smelled it."

Smell it?

Yang Du, who was closest to her, smelled himself.

What smell is there?

…………

The few people over there were chatting animatedly, and Shen Yu, that fool, actually thought they were just a few college students who were so cool—

Until Qiu Qinghao started blinking wildly at him, and then pouted at the person beside him.

Shen Yu looked in that direction...

A faint black aura was visibly floating above the head of a certain champion girl?!

"Brother Min?"

"Ah."

Lu Minxi raised her head in response, but what Shen Yu saw was not the expression he had expected, but a kind of decadence... and self-blame?

"Was it the time you took Xingran to rescue the elves?"

She asked this.

Shen Yu nodded.

Lu Minxi lowered her head, and the decadent aura emanating from her body became more obvious.

I clearly want to know everything about Shen Yu...but things like this always happen.

Lu Minxi questioned herself - why didn't she go with them at that time.

If I went there, would I be able to leave behind such memories with Shen Yu and make such friends as Xingran did...

"Sister Lu."

"Brother Min."

Lu Minxi looked at the two hands holding hers.

"To me, both Shen Yu and Sister Lu are special."

"We, too, have our own memories."
