Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"So you're going to stick with me like this, huh?"

Lin Xuan muttered to himself, but his feet didn't stop moving.

"Ibu, help me!!"

There was nothing we could do at that point except call for Ibrahimovic's help.

"Boy!"

Eevee's psychic orb on its forehead reappeared, and all its psychic powers converged in front of it, forming a powerful aura and a wall of light, before arriving in front of Lin Xuan.

"Buy?"

Perhaps finding Eevee a bit too much of a hindrance, Mismagius unleashed another spell, this time targeting Eevee. Eevee, exhausted from using its psychic powers, had no strength to defend itself and was completely sent flying, crashing into the rock wall before slowly falling unconscious.

Just as the shadowy figure in the night was about to approach Lin Xuan and Long Xing, Xiao Dian, who had been lying unconscious in Lin Xuan's arms, suddenly woke up. As if sensing the danger on Lin Xuan's side, she quickly got up.

An electric net formed behind him and enveloped the Night Demon's shadowy form, but it was directly knocked away and crashed heavily into Lin Xuan.

"Dandan~"

Fortunately, the power grid almost completely neutralized the power of the Night Demon Shadow, leaving only a very small amount to affect Lin Xuan. Even so, the remaining trace of energy, combined with the recoil from being knocked away and hitting the rock wall, caused him to fall into a coma.

However, before he lost consciousness, besides Xiaodian and Longxing's worried calls, he seemed to hear another person's voice.

"It's alright, at least it's not the worst-case scenario."

After that, Lin Xuan completely lost consciousness.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Um……"

Lin Xuan opened her eyes weakly, only to see a white ceiling. She wanted to ask where she was, but she felt weak and even speaking was difficult, so she couldn't open her mouth.

"Buy?"

"Dandan?"

But soon, two big heads popped over from the side, belonging to Eevee and Tiny, both looking at Lin Xuan with concerned eyes, as if asking him if he was feeling unwell anywhere.

As for Gallade and Xiaoxi Xiaomi, they were also guarding the side, and immediately came forward after seeing Lin Xuan wake up.

"you're awake?"

Besides Little Point and Eevee, there was another person sitting next to Lin Xuan. Turning her head, she saw it was Long Xing.

"Hiss... It's all white, is this heaven? Is Arceus there?"

After lying down for a while, Lin Xuan felt she had regained some strength and turned her head to speak.

Ryusei: ...

"I really admire you for being able to joke around at a time like this."

Seeing Lin Xuan wake up, Long Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were filled with helplessness as he looked at Lin Xuan.

"So where is this?"

"A hospital in Jianghai City."

"What happened in the end?" Lin Xuan asked. He had fallen into a coma after being struck by the remaining power of the Night Demon Shadow and did not know what happened afterward, but he seemed to hear other people's voices.

"Yes..." Long Xing was interrupted by a voice from outside before he could finish speaking.

"It's Elder Yan. I don't even know how to describe your luck, kid."

The ward door opened, and Zhong Mingyi walked in from outside, his face serious, yet seemingly helpless.

"Due to an accident, the barrier between the island and the spirit world became blurred, and that dream demon just happened to slip through the gap and escape. And you just happened to run into it. Your luck... sigh~"

Zhong Ming sighed, truly at a loss for words.

The spatial anomaly caused by the Ultimate Hole was unprecedented, and they hadn't taken any precautions because of it. The area that was blurred with the Spirit Realm barrier was, in fact, a vast distance away. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for any elf to pass through there.

Even with the influence of the Ultimate Hole, it was only by chance that the Dream Demon forcibly broke through the barrier between the two worlds with its powerful strength.

The most coincident thing is that Manaphy was sent home to retrieve something at that time because of the guild leader's orders; otherwise, the dream monster would have had no chance at all, and the entire island would have been under Manaphy's surveillance.

But if you say Lin Xuan and his group were unlucky... this anomaly was discovered by Yun Baohua, who then informed Yan Ming and arrived at the last minute. If Yan Ming's group had been any slower, Lin Xuan and his group would have been in danger.

It can only be said that Lin Xuan and his group were indeed unlucky, but not that unlucky... after all, nothing serious happened.

"So what time is it now?"

Lin Xuan glanced out the window. It was still daytime, but the sky looked bright, so it must be morning. Lin Xuan vaguely remembered that when she and Long Xing encountered the Dream Demon, it was already noon.

"The day after the accident, you were unconscious for a day, but the doctor said it was nothing serious and you just needed to rest for a while."

"What about the competition?"

Lin Xuan still remembers the competition. Now that she's out, doesn't that mean...?

"This was a mistake by the league, but since it's a big deal, we can't say it out loud. So the excuse we're giving is that you accidentally got injured and had to withdraw from the game." Zhong Mingyi said, while waving the phone next to Lin Xuan.

"I just posted an update using a smaller phone and your Bilibili account. I hope you'll keep this a secret."

The alliance's original intention in organizing the competition was twofold: firstly, to promote cooperation with Manaphy, and secondly, to demonstrate the "friendly" relationship between China and Manaphy to other alliances. However, with such a major blunder now exposed, it would be quite embarrassing if it were to be revealed.

"I withdrew from the competition due to injury, so what about him?"

Lin Xuan pointed to Long Xing on the side.

“I’m withdrawing too,” Long Xing said directly.

"Why?" Lin Xuan looked over in surprise. She withdrew from the competition because she was injured and unconscious, but Long Xing shouldn't have been, right?

"You saved me in the end, and then you were injured and passed out. I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't come out with you," Long Xing said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing Long Xing's words, Lin Xuan was both moved and sighed with regret.

"Why are you sighing?" Long Xing looked at him strangely.

"After all, according to the normal plot, if I woke up at this time, I should be accompanied by a cute and beautiful girl, right? So why are there two of you?"

Lin Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Am I not playing the male lead in a web novel? And it's supposed to be without a female lead?"

Waking up in the hospital after being injured should be a great opportunity to advance the romantic storyline!

"He just got injured, and his brain is damaged?"

Zhong Ming's lips twitched before he said mercilessly, "He really shouldn't have expected Lin Xuan to say anything normal at a time like this."

"If you can't speak properly, you don't have to," Lin Xuan retorted, glaring back. "I'm injured right now, and didn't you say it was your league's mistake? Aren't you going to offer some compensation?"

"This matter cannot be made public, so I certainly can't give you anything openly. However, you can make your request, and I'll try to put in a good word for you."

Zhong Ming shook his head and said, "After all, this was the league's mistake that caused Lin Xuan to get injured and withdraw from the competition. If there is no compensation, he will have to ask the league for an explanation... But it seems that he is the person in charge of this competition."

"Anything is fine?" A hint of joy flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, feeling that this was a good opportunity to extort money from him, while Zhong Mingyi said very cautiously.

"Don't go too far. If you want things like quasi-god cubs or top-tier evolution stones, because of this mistake, Lin Xuan's high regard for you, and Dr. Sun Siming's words, it should still be fine. But if you want anything higher, the Alliance will most likely not give it to you, since everyone is short of those kinds of things."

Although it sounded like advice to Lin Xuan to accept the good outcome, no matter how you listened to it, you could sense that there was a hidden meaning in the words, pointing Lin Xuan in the right direction and teaching him how to demand compensation.

"Even quasi-god cubs are acceptable?" Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise. This was different from others; every quasi-god cub was extremely rare, and not everyone was like Long Xing.

"Yes, if Dr. Sun and I put in the effort, the alliance will most likely agree."

Zhong Ming nodded and said something, but just then, Long Xing spoke up.

"If Lin Xuan wants a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, there's no need to waste the League's compensation opportunity this time."

Long Xing's words drew the attention of Lin Xuan and the others. Even for Zhong Mingyi, a quasi-god cub was not exactly common, and it wouldn't be easy to get a suitable one for Lin Xuan. This was a good opportunity to make some inquiries with the Alliance.

But what Longxing meant...

Seeing the two of them looking at him, Long Xing simply smiled.

"The elders in the clan know about what happened yesterday, and they also know that Lin Xuan was injured while saving me. One of the elders happens to be in Yunhai Province and will probably be coming over soon. He also wants to meet Lin Xuan and, by the way... invite him to visit our Dragon Village."

"The Land of Dragons? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Upon hearing the words "Land of Dragons" from Long Xing, Zhong Mingyi's expression instantly changed.

Because the invitation Longxing mentioned was not to the Dragon Royal Family, but to the Land of Dragons.

If the invitation is issued in the name of the Yulong family, it may simply be a regular visit or expression of gratitude. However, the Dragon Village is different. It is the true stronghold of the Yulong family, of great significance, and home to a large number of Dragon-type Pokémon.

"That's right, the land of dragons."

Long Xing nodded. To be honest, even Long Xing was a little surprised when he heard what his elders said, because he knew the meaning behind the invitation from the Dragon Village.

"Is it very different?"

Although Lin Xuan didn't know the special meaning behind it, she could guess a thing or two after seeing Zhong Mingyi's reaction.

"Hmm...you're about to hit the jackpot! I'll find you some secret manuals these next few days so you can learn more about Dragon-type Pokémon and try to catch the strongest one!"

Zhong Mingyi said without any politeness, completely disregarding the fact that there was someone from the Yulong family standing nearby.

"…Master Zhong Mingyi, could you please not say this in front of me? It's a little awkward."

"What's there to be afraid of? They're not your Pokémon anyway. Your Dragon Clan has a deep foundation; it won't matter if you take a couple of pseudo-legendary Pokémon with you."

Zhong Ming waved his hand dismissively.
