Chapter 1323: I will say that he has learned my lessons well.

As soon as the Guardian of the Tree intervened, Idan and Arabel stopped and stepped back.

There was silence.

The Heavenly Crown Elf knelt down, still standing, but his face was swollen from many blows with the staff, and there was no trace of his former elven beauty.

His bleary eyes stared at the back of the Guardian of the Tree, and he finally realized defeat. Out of anger and humiliation, he clenched his teeth, which were still intact.

In front of him, Idan scattered the lightning staff, and Arabel returned her sword to the shape of a ring.

The Guardian of the Tree, like all the elves, now looked at them with completely different eyes.

Abnormal speed, the power of the soul, the power of the elements, and the unusual ability to swap places with each other.

And the couple’s recent actions were perceived by some elves as a real mockery.

Two Platinum-ranked members of the human race mockingly stabbed an elf with a Diamond rank. Moreover, it was not just an elf, but one of the talents, although not the strongest.

Idan and Arabel, however, did not even think about the fact that their actions could be perceived as bullying.

Their {Ghost Stats} only enhanced their {Dexterity}, while other stats lagged far behind. Their tactics were simple — to constantly hold the initiative, not giving the elf a single chance to do anything.

The constant use of the "swap" ability did not allow Arabel to prepare for a powerful blow. Given their considerable superiority in strength, they had to unleash a series of incessant weak blows on the elf.

"They are... They did it!" — Saelis leaned back in her chair.

The rest of her companions remained silent.

She turned her gaze to Eulalia, who also seemed amazed.

However, the reason for her astonishment was different.

"They won by hiding most of their abilities.", — She exclaimed in her mind.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The silence was broken by applause.

All eyes turned towards the source of the sound and saw Miliсa, who was applauding her students with a triumphant smile.

Milica didn’t try to hide her pleasure.

When Idan raised his head and met her gaze, she nodded approvingly at him and then at Arabel.

Only after that, other, as yet rare, claps were heard next to her.

Severin looked at his disciple. She sat with her back straight, and only her smile showed how pleased she was with what was happening.

"Now I understand why you were so insistent on their participation," he said.

"Heh," Milica grinned. She wanted to say that this was just the beginning and that her disciples would surprise everyone more than once. After all, they have not yet revealed everything they are capable of.

"I didn’t doubt them," she replied with obvious pleasure.

Severin chuckled softly. He was familiar with that tone.

However, he was more preoccupied with something else right now. He looked at Idan again, as if mentally reconstructing the last moments of the duel.

"Those blows to the head," Severin said. "This is your school, isn’t it?"

For a moment, Milica’s smile froze. She saw how Lavena and Renar were also looking at her.

"Ahem. I will say that he has learned my lessons well."

At the same time, a commotion began among the elves. More and more elves turned their gazes towards Severin and his students.

"Grand Elder," the Princess addressed Milica. "Is it true that you offered the Seed of the Lightning Law as a bet?"

"What?" Severin, Lavena, and Renar turned to Milica in amazement.

Milica turned her gaze towards the Elves of the Heavenly Crown, and her gaze met with the one with whom she was discussing the bet. Her opponent grinned at her with the usual offended look of a loser.

Milica didn’t get angry. She just shook her head in mild disappointment.

Then she looked around at everyone and said softly:

"Yeah. It’s true. I actually placed the Seed of the Lightning Law as a bet."

There were sighs of disappointment from the edge of the arena. If they had known that she had exposed something valuable like the seed of the law, they would not have hesitated and would have opposed her disciples.

Now that her disciples had won, the bet had lost its power.

Severin, who was sitting next to him, let out a sigh of relief.

A valuable resource like the Seed of the lightning law had almost been lost due to his disciple’s recklessness.

"Senior, as always, knows how to surprise," Renar smiled dryly.

However, his smile disappeared as soon as he heard Milica’s next words: "You know, I am ready to give the Seed of the Lightning Law to the one who defeats my students."

"Mili, what are you saying!" Severin tried to stop her.

But Milica just smiled at her master and continued, "You only have two attempts left."

And she held up two fingers.

"Also, anyone who decides to challenge my students must place a bet equal in value to the Seed of Law."

Down in the arena, Idan and Arabel were speechless.

They tried to avoid attracting too much attention to themselves as much as possible and quickly complete the three duels in order to get the Fruits of the Foundation. However, it seemed their Master had other plans.

The eighth-ranked Eternal Flame Elf placed the first bet, offering a bottle of Eternal Flame Tree Juice.

"How many drops?" Milica asked, showing interest in the offer.

"Ten," the elf replied immediately.

"Idan, Ryan, Hayley, and the others who possess the fire element will benefit greatly from the Juice of the Eternal Flame Tree," — Milica thought. "Well, I agree."

Then, a group of Stone Heart elves offered their bid, offering "Mineral sap of the sixth rank."

Whatever it was, Idan and Arabel saw how Milica almost without hesitation agreed to this bet.

As a result, the Eternal Flame Elf and the Stone Heart Elf jumped into the arena. Who, unlike their previous opponents, looked and felt much stronger and more dangerous.
