My Triling System

“That will surely gain people’s attention on me. Are there no other options?” Kevin asked.

“I’m afraid not,” Jeri replied. “We’ll have to do it the way Lexa said. I’ll be defeated by you, so it will be 1:1 for both schools.”

Sighs...

“Okay, let’s do this,” Kevin said as he stepped forward, closer to where Jeri was standing but opposite her, as they were to fight each other.

“I’ll defend your attacks, you should just keep on attacking as violently as you can. That way, they’ll think I was overpowered by you and could only defend your attacks.” Jeri said to Kevin and he agreed unhesitatingly.

“Both opponents should get ready to fight,” Sophia said. “Maintain your positions! And,... fight!”

Before the two could clash with each other, someone had swiftly run inside the hall and was standing in between Kevin and Jeri.

“Stop! You’re not fighting my master.” Azura said with boldness and a frown on her face.

.....

Everyone had started murmuring among each other. Especially when they saw how beautiful and white-skinned the girl was.

“Who is she, Kevin?” Lexa and Jeri asked.

“Err... the thing I wanted to talk to you about.” He replied.

Sophia cleared her throat and then started speaking.

“Who is this strange girl? Why is she in a mufti dress, where’s her uniform?” Sophia asked at once.

“Err, she’s my... my...” Kevin was thinking of what to say she was. He can not reveal her true identity to the public so he must come up with a lie, to not make her seem suspicious to everyone.

“She’s my Maid, Azura. She’s a new student, so she’s yet to get a uniform. I will get a uniform for her soon. I’m sorry about that.” Kevin said as he tried to take Azura away.

“Come on Azura, you can’t be here. What would everyone think?” He whispered. “No one must know who you are, go back to the castle.”

“But you already introduced me to the public as your maid. You can’t send your maid away since she’s a student at this school. I, Azura am here to stay.”

“Will you get rid of her of something and let’s continue with the fight.” Sophia frowned at them angrily.

“Sure I will.” He said before facing Azura. “Azura please go away from now. I promise to come back for you.”

“But you’re about to fight someone. I told you I’m here to protect you from any danger.” Azura insisted.

Sighs deeply...

“This is not a danger, it’s a friendly match. Besides, Jeri can’t kill me.”

“Of course, she will.” Azura glared at Jeri suspiciously and Jeri returned her glare. “See, she looks dangerous and could harm you, master.” She said.

“Azura she can hear for goodness sake. Leave for now.” Kevin persuaded her again.

“No, I’m not leaving master. Not after I get rid of this lady.” Azura yanked Kevin’s hands away from her arms and Kevin could feel the strength from her arms. That was when he remembered that she was a panther. A very strong beast.

“What are you trying to do young lady?” For the first time in a long time, Pretta finally spoke out. She had her suspicions about the girl as she saw her. She was too pretty to be just a maid. She wanted to know where she came from and who Kevin was to have such a beautiful maid as this.

“I’m fighting this girl in place of my master,” Azura replied as she grinned fiercely at Jeri.

“Are...” Pretta wanted to talk but Sophia interrupted her.

“If that’s what you want, then so be it. Azura of the school of light will be fighting Jeri of the school of darkness.” Sophia announced and both schools cheered on their representatives.

“It’s a beauty versus beauty match.” One of the dark male elves said.

“That’s not a beauty match. Azura is more pretty than Jeri. Why would you call her pretty.” Another dark elf laughed but then, they recalled that Jeri’s brother, Max was sitting close to them. They immediately took back what they said, thinking Max would jump at them any time soon.

Unbeknownst to them that Max had fallen in love with Azura. It was love at first sight. He’s a dark elf but he only developed feelings for a light female elf.

One thing he know was that their love wasn’t forbidden as long as one decides to join the other’s group, there will be no problem. Max was willing to join the light creatures even if it comes to that. He’ll just need to go to the golden tree and change his race from a dark elf to a light elf. But to do that will cost something from him. It may be his hands or feet or eyes or mouth. Max was willing to go that length because of Azura.

Although this could be changed if they happen to find an elf or fairy who learned a race transformation magic. But it’s so rare to find one. They mostly hide the fact that they have such magic to live a longer life. The king wouldn’t want to see someone with such magic after the problem it caused a few years ago between the two races.

Max called for one of his men that sat beside him. “I want you to watch that elf guy carefully. Report to me on every of his location. I want to know whose family he belongs to.”

“Yes, I will Boss.” The man said with a gruff voice.

The hoarse elf noticed that Max’s eyes were fixed on Azura and not for once did he shift his gaze away from her, so he decided to ask him.

“Are you interested in the girl?”

Max tilted his head to look at the elf and smiled. “Maybe.” He said as he glared at her once again.

Kevin walked toward Azura before leaving her. “Remember, be careful with what you do. Elves and fairies have keen eyes for beasts. Don’t you ever think of transforming into your beast form? You’ll be killed without mercy.” Kevin whispered to her but the two girls could hear him through the active call from the system.

“Kevin, tell me something I don’t know?” Jeri said.
