First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 142

"Indeed," Orion agreed sincerely, his mind already buzzing with possibilities and new insights. Emilia quietly stood, her expression thoughtful yet composed, clearly pondering deeply upon what she'd learned today.

Nyss nodded softly toward Orion, quietly saying, "Your question was very insightful. Hybrid spells are no small feat, it would take a very long time for an average person to master them."

Orion raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised at how many words she said at once, yet he calmly replied, "But we aren't normal people. All of us have multiple affinity."

Nyss nodded her head without saying anything and stood up to leave.

Orion and his group began heading out of the class as well.

Arya apologetically said, "Sorry, Brother Orion. I will have to leave early today as well. I have some work back at home."

Orion shook his head, "No worries, I have some work to do as well here."

Arya tilted her head, "Here?"

"Yes, I wanted to see if I can get the others to join the club," he said.

She giggled hearing it, "The club which doesn't even have a name?"

Orion shrugged, "I have thought of a name, I will propose it when I have a few more members."

Arya nodded her head, but her gaze curiously went towards his sword, which Emilia had been taking glances at from time to time as well.

"What's up with that sword though?" she curiously asked.

Orion gently smiled and patted the sword, "Grandma made this sword for me."

Arya raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Grandma Selene made it personally? Then it must be a top-tier treasure."

He softly chuckled, "She only made a Tier 7 sword so I can upgrade it later myself."

Arya's eyes widened slightly in genuine surprise. "Only Tier 7? Brother Orion, your standards are terrifyingly high. Do you realize how many nobles would kill to have just a Tier 6 personally forged by a top-tier Runesmith like Lady Selene?"

Orion chuckled softly, a slight smirk forming on his lips. "Well, only the low-ranking nobles would do that. I doubt it's anything special for the higher-ranking ones."

Arya shook her head, "You underestimate the value of a treasure forged by a top runesmith like her, Brother Orion. The top nobles would also bid for it just to study the mana circuits and rune inscriptions of it."

Orion rubbed his chin, "That's a nice way to put it. Besides, she specifically designed it so that I could upgrade it as my understanding of runes deepens."

Arya speechlessly looked at him, "Honestly, she spoils you too much."

Emilia quietly nodded beside her, eyes faintly glinting with curiosity. Orion caught her subtle gaze again drifting to the sword's metallic hilt. Smiling inwardly, he mentally noted her interest.

"Maybe so," Orion conceded lightly. "But Grandma always insists that a good weapon is essential. Who am I to argue?"

Arya chuckled softly and brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Well, I won't delay you further. Good luck recruiting club members. I'll see you tomorrow."

Orion nodded warmly. "Thanks, Arya. See you both tomorrow."

Arya waved gently, and Emilia gave him a soft nod as they turned and walked away together, their graceful figures disappearing amidst the bustling crowd of students moving between buildings.

Orion exhaled softly, feeling a brief moment of quiet before Lumi's cheerful voice bubbled in his mind again.

[Well, Master, time for recruitment! So, who's your target today? (•‿•)]

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, eyes drifting across the lively academy grounds. 'Hmm, I was thinking of Elias. He's ranked sixth in our year, and having someone like him—who has an Advanced Affinity—would be quite helpful. And I also want to help him since he's a commoner. The nobles might exploit him.'

Elias shook his head, "How can a commoner like me meet with such a high and mighty noble?"

Orion raised an eyebrow in surprise, 'So it's not an issue about me but about nobility, huh?'

"Come, let's sit down and have a chat. I have quite a few things that I want to discuss with you," he said softly, gesturing toward the seating area beside the training zone.

Elias shook his head, "If you have something to say, then you can say it here. I still need to practice."

"…Hmm, would you be interested in hearing it if I told you it's related to your future?" Orion curiously asked.

Elias looked him dead in the eye, "I don't want to join any noble's club."

Orion nearly choked at the outright rejection, especially since he hadn't even suggested anything yet.

"I haven't said what I wanted to say yet," Orion weakly protested.

Elias's lips twitched. "You think I haven't gotten invitations to other clubs before? Every single one of you says the same shit."

Orion listened intently before shaking his head as he took a deep breath, "Listen, most don't know what I'm about to tell you."

Elias's expression turned mildly curious as he gestured for Orion to continue.

"…I'm adopted."

"…huh?" Elias looked at him with a baffled look.

"Yes, I wasn't born a noble. Grandpa and Grandma adopted me from the Stormwood Forest," he softly said.
