Chapter 216 Something is better than nothing
After introducing herself, Serena asked Kyle to follow behind her.
Kyle sighed and pinched his brows. He looked at Serena back and quietly followed behind her. He wasn't sure where they were going but then Serena started talking.
She told him about the event that would be held on the outskirts of the elf's capital city. She wasn't sure about the exact details but one thing was for sure at least a few hundred no possibly thousands of elves would participate in the event so Kyle's winning chances weren't high.
Moreover, according to the rumors, the event would continue for at least two months. No one knew what the participants would face in these two months, or what type of competitions would be held among them.
Kyle subconsciously increased his pace and started walking beside Serena. His facial expression was serious because he listened to each word carefully.
In between Serena gazed at Kyle with a raised brow. She even increased her speed but Kyle didn't even sweat and easily matched her pace.
Serena clicked her tongue. As an (A)-Rank saber user she wasn't weak but the fact that she wasn't able to sense an 18-year boy rank annoyed her a little.
Moreover, she knew about Kyle's true identity. He was the one who bonded with the legendary beast.
'Han! You psycho! Why do you always have such a good eye? I also want a strong and pretty disciple!'
Serena cursed Han inwardly but her face was devoid of any emotions.
They walked in a busy street mostly filled with elves and after a while arrived in front of a Teleportation Array.
Kyle's brows knitted slightly when he saw the long line of elves standing in front of the Teleportation Array but Serena moved fast and grabbed a middle-aged elf wearing brownish robes.
The middle-aged elf tensed under Serena. He gazed back and forth at Kyle and Serene.
Kyle didn't know what Serena did but in the next second, the middle-aged elf bowed down and gestured for them to use the Array first.
Kyle raised his brow. Serena was a human but she was able to order the elves how? The question appeared in his mind but then he saw the mustard color round pin attached on Serena's shoulder.
There was a beautiful moon sign on the edge of the pin.
'It' looks like a family symbol. Maybe she is acquainted with a famous noble family?'
His eyes narrowed when he noticed a familiar normal-looking broach opposite to the mustard color pin.
'Ah.. the broach it's exactly similar to the one master left behind for me?'
Kyle's mood soured when he recalled the broach. Instead of sending him to a safe place, the broach just tossed him outside the enemy base! He grumbled in his mind, well in the end, the situation helped him when he was awakening his bloodline so he would forgive the old man.
'Anyway, why does Serena have the broach? Did master gave it to her...'
Kyle's thoughts stopped midway because Serena shouted and asked him to step into the Array.
Kyle sighed and started walking. The long line of standing elves turned their heads at Kyle and glared at his back with anger.
They had been waiting for a long time but now an unknown person dared to break the line!
However, before they could voice their opinions. Serena released her aura slightly and gazed at them with sharp eyes. The elves swallowed hard and shut their mouths immediately.
After Kyle stepped into the Array, Serena followed behind. In an instant, the Array shone brightly and they disappeared under the crowd's resentful eyes.
Soon, they appeared in another bustling city but the city was larger and more advanced than the previous city.
They roamed between the large buildings and Serena booked two rooms in a nearby hotel.
She took out a storage ring with some mana stones and threw it to Kyle.
"Kid, I can see you are practically poor. So, go buy some clothes and other necessary things you need for the next two months. We will leave for the capital city tomorrow. The event would start at least one week later and because I need to register you for it we need to go there as early as possible."
Serena waved her hand and started walking, heading straight toward her room because she had to contact some people regarding Kyle.
'The kid isn't from Kingdom Tersia. It's better if I take extra precautions to stop any future troubles. Han! You own me this time.'
She clicked her tongue. Sending Kyle to the event was very easy but if he won, well she wasn't sure he would but if he did the people in charge of the event would try to find his true identity.
Moreover, if somehow they found out Kyle wasn't from their Kingdom and still entered the event, they would immediately kick him out without even thinking twice.
'Sigh, so much work to do. I will just ask someone for a favor.'
Kyle looked at her fading image and then looked at the storage ring. There were at least a few hundred mana stones in there.
'I am not used to being poor.'
He grabbed the ring and after eating something in the hotel, he went out to buy everything he needed.
The sun wasn't burning, instead, it was leaving the horizon. The sky was ting with dusk and yellow and the air around the city was slightly cold.
First, Kyle entered a clothing shop and bought a few sets of clothes. Instead of storing everything in the storage ring he placed the clothes in his mind space.
Afterward, he went out and bought some packed food and a lot of water bottles.
"I think I should learn some water-related skills. I can't possibly eat ice.. Or maybe I can melt it?"
Kyle chuckled and entered shop after shop. In the end, the evening turned into night and he arrived in front of a weapon shop.
Kyle fiddled with the storage ring.
"I don't have many mana stones left. I don't think I can buy a good weapon. Sigh, I miss my sword so badly."
He entered the shop. With a ting, the door opened and his gaze landed at the walls adorned with many types of gleaming swords, sabers, shields, powerful bows, and some low-rank artifacts.
The shopkeeper standing behind a sturdy counter, gazed at Kyle's figure and offered him a sweet smile.
The slim elf approached him and asked politely.
"What type of weapon would you like to buy sir?"
Kyle's lips twitched. He cleared his throat and offered the shopkeeper his almost empty storage ring shamelessly.
"Give me something according to my budget. I would prefer it if it's a sword... A high-rank sword."
The elf took the storage ring from Kyle's hand and his smile morphed into a scoff when he saw Kyle's wealth.
No one knew what happened in the shop but after only two minutes Kyle was standing outside with a dry smile.
He was holding an emerald bow with golden linings. The bow was old but as Kyle asked it was the highest rank according to his budget.
"It's seemed poor people can't even buy a proper weapon."
Kyle sighed as he eyed the bow. It was (E-)-rank and the shopkeeper gave him ten free arrows. He stretched the string with his fingers.
"Not bad. The only problem is that it's not a sword."
He took a deep breath but then cursed in his mind.
"I asked for a sword! Damn it! Why can't I buy a low-rank sword with 46 mana stones? Why is this shop so expensive!"
Kyle returned to the hotel with a grumpy expression. He placed the bow and arrows in his mind space, thinking something was better than nothing.
For him, the next two days were practically boring because he could do nothing but sit patiently in his room. After all, Serena was busy.
On the third day, Serena knocked on his door and Kyle sighed with relief when he found out they were leaving.
They traveled through two Teleportation Arrays and within half a day arrived at the capital city.
The city was adorned with sparkling lights and the tall houses were embedded in large trees. Kyle curiously gazed around the many food stalls but he was shocked when he heard the price!
'Damn it! When did meat become so expensive?'
He immediately retracted his gaze not even daring to look at the food stalls.
'Ah... I remember how me, Nine, and Carcel ditched Alec last time in a hotel and he had to pay for everything. Sigh, now I can understand his pain!'
Kyle shook his head. He wasn't regretful instead he wanted to do it once again. If fate offered he would drag Alec here in this expensive elves market and after he was done eating he would ditch him again!
After walking for another two hours, they left the capital city. Kyle gazed at the large dom-shaped structure present outside the city gates. The place was ten times more crowded than the capital city but all the elves were strictly following the rules by lining up properly.
Among the elves, he even saw some humans and demi-humans.
Moreover, many elf guards wearing green uniforms were patrolling around the dom with stern faces.
Kyle sucked in a deep breath when he saw a familiar floating old figure above the doom. The old elf was far away but Kyle was able to see his face clearly from his spot due to his enhanced vision.
The old elf was among the people who attacked Kyle when he emerged from the 'Tower of Opportunity'!
A sharp glint flashed through Kyle's eyes but he shook his head and threw the thought at the back of his mind. He was still weak. Moreover, he would never attack first.
No matter, humans, elves, or any other being. Everyone was greedy.
'I will remember this old elf if he ever dares to lay his eyes on Bia again.....'
Kyle's thoughts stopped when the floating figure gazed at him from above. Kyle didn't look away and stare back but the elf turned his head away to look at someone else.
'It seems he is one of the people who are assigned to make sure the event goes smoothly.'
Kyle looked away and at the same time, Serena gestured for him to follow behind her closely.
They didn't stand with the line instead they entered the dom through another path. n--OVelbIn
Two tall elves stopped them but Serena showed them a token and they opened the door.
Kyle sighed and looked back at the silent murmurs. A few elves standing in the long line were staring at him.
He noticed a large group of purple-shirt elves probably from 'Lune Academy' standing at the other end but he retracted his gaze when Serena urged him to follow behind.
