First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 156

A soothing golden glow enveloped Orion and Sylvia instantly, diffusing their battle fervor. Their breathing slowed, hearts calming down as clarity returned swiftly to their eyes.

"Enough you two," Arya's gentle voice echoed clearly, her expression speechless. "You both fought well. Let's stop here before someone gets hurt."

Sylvia exhaled slowly, lowering her sword and stepping back. She smiled faintly, clearly impressed. "Your potential is frightening, Orion. I'm convinced."

Orion relaxed his stance and closed his eyes, restricting his instinct again before exhaling deeply as he sheathed Realm Guardian. "You were amazing as well, Sylvia. It was quite helpful for me to find my flaws."

Sylvia chuckled lightly, acknowledging his sincerity with a nod. "I'll accept your offer. Being able to spar with you from time to time is enough of a benefit for me to join."

A light chuckle left Orion's lips, "Well, that's quite good for me as well."

Sylvia nodded her head, "Yes, hardly anyone can keep up with me among the younger generation. I'll challenge you soon… I need more experience to break through to Tier 3."

"Sure, I also need to learn more about the sword from you." He nodded with a smile.

The crowd erupted into animated chatter, excitement palpable. Students began dissecting the incredible spar, their eyes shining with newfound admiration and curiosity.

Arya stepped closer, gently patting Orion's shoulder with a proud, mischievous smile. "This was a true miracle, Brother Orion. You truly never fail to amaze me."

"…Do you truly have so little trust in me?" He asked with mock disappointment.

Arya playfully chuckled, "Of course not, but it's really hard to believe you fought to a standstill against her when your skills during the last match… Mmm let's not talk about that."

Orion speechlessly looked at Arya, 'It hasn't even been a week since I started learning the sword…'

[They don't know your greatness, Master!! (つ✧ω✧)つ]

Felira nodded her head, "It was totally worth it to invite Sylvia like that, it was such an intense match…" she extended her hand, "I still have goosebumps from it."

Sylvia bonked Felira's head lightly, "Try to do something like this again and see if I don't make you my training dummy."

Felira stuck out her tongue and hid behind Arya.

Orion chuckled lightly, scratching the back of his head. "Honestly, I didn't expect it to escalate that far."

Sylvia giggled lightly, gracefully brushing her hair back. "Neither did I. But that's exactly why it was so thrilling. It's been a long time since someone made me push myself that hard."

Orion smilingly nodded his head, "Well, we should head back now. We got all the members we need. Let's meet up tomorrow to introduce ourselves to each other."

Just as they finished discussing, Instructor Viren approached calmly, adjusting his glasses thoughtfully. "An impressive display. Orion, your instincts are quite exceptional, and Sylvia, your technique remains impeccable. However, remember to exercise restraint during sparring sessions. This isn't a life and death duel."

"Yes, Instructor Viren." Both of them respectfully said. They had met him during the speech of Vice Dean Hargan.

Viren nodded his head and left without saying anything further.

Orion and the others talked for a little bit more before leaving on their own ways.

As the crowd slowly dispersed, the training grounds buzzed with leftover excitement. Students were still discussing the fight in animated tones, glancing occasionally at Orion and Sylvia as if trying to memorize every detail of the intense exchange.

Orion let out a long breath, adjusting the grip of his sheathed sword as he quietly stepped away from the arena.

His muscles ached slightly—not from exhaustion, but from the sharp focus he had maintained for the entire fight. His instincts had calmed down by now, making him feel as if he had just gone blind.

[That was soooo coooolllll, Master!! You looked like a main character from a sword-fantasy drama! (ﾉ>ω<)ﾉ :｡･::･ﾟ'★,｡･::･ﾟ'☆]

'Was it really that flashy?' Orion chuckled inwardly.
