"A hunting contest?" Arrow nodded her head when Elyse asked.



"Yes! A hunting contest!" Arrow said while jumping with her excited face.



"Oh, I haven't explained it." Eli interrupted.



"A hunting contest is held every year to commemorate Artemis — she's known to be an Alpha of Hunting and Virginity. And is one of the moons according to the legend. It's also rumored that Lucia and Artemis are good friends and who knows the reason why the old Master of Empire wants to hold each year a hunting contest." Eli explained.



Just like what Eli said, the Hunting Contest was held to remember the Alpha who is named Artemis — an Alpha of Hunting and Virginity and is also Arrow and Arbor's Ancestor. In the legend, it was said that both Lucia and Artemis like to hunt. Lucia also learned how to handle a bow since it was her first-ever weapon to hold ever since Lucia entered The Alphas.



Artemis's mother and Lucia's Mother are both members of the moon, which is why they became great friends easily.



This tradition is very old. But when the old Master of Empire established the world and the Empire itself, she decided to hold a festival and a hunting contest each year to remember the Alphas.



The Master of the Empire overlooked each festival and hunting contest that will be held each day which spread the rumors of the Master cherishing the Festivals and Hunting Contests.



"Is that so?" Elyse said with a blank expression. She's not interested in such a thing. For Elyse, she felt bad for the animals being harmed in the hunting contest.



"Hey! Don't say that! You're a member of the Archery Club and you must do your best since you're carrying our Ancestor's name!" Arrow said while putting her arms into Elyse's and pointing herself with her chin up, being proud and all.



Eli chuckled, "That's right, Elyse."



"Ah right. Since you're a member of the Archery Club, you too should win in this competition." Arbor appeared out of nowhere again which made Elyse startled when he appears from her behind.



"Stop surprising me like that, Arbor! And why should I win the competition? As you all believe, I am Aniya's Descendant. I don't know how to hold a bow! I only know how to cast a spell." Elyse exclaimed.



"Well, it's pretty boring now that it's always me and Arrow gets the same prize each year." He bragged.



"That's right! We always win which makes it feel boring now." Arrow bragged too.
