Chapter 358: Ordinary days in the Festival... Part-3.
Dragon Palace, Main Gate.
"Whoa~, everything seems so pretty... They really decorated all the streets and houses..."
Selain nodded her head at Riya's words and said in a calm voice,
"Originally I heard that the dragonmen would decorate the whole city, and I was planning to take you all to see the scenery, but we got teleported to that sudden evaluation test area, and all plans fell apart..."
"Right now I don't have any solid plans, so let's just enjoy the day and try our luck at random places..."
The rest of the group also nodded their heads at Selain's words.
Originally they would have been able to enjoy the festival three days ago, but now that the circumstances are different, they will have to change the plans accordingly.
At the moment, the group was wearing the traditional Dragonmen-style clothes, and they all looked amazing in them.
The clothes had dragon insignias imprinted on the light blue fabric made out of a rare material.
These clothes were a gift from the dragon palace to their guests and represented the hospitality of the dragon empire, so the group wore them to accept the hospitality.
Looking at the horses that were prepared by the servants for them, Selain suddenly had an idea, and she declared,
"How about it, guys? Let's compete! The one who will reach the market area first will get to have free drinks!"
Hearing the word 'compete' everyone's spirit was fired up; pretty much all of them are always looking forward to a competition, so they get excited easily.
It didn't matter what the reward was; they were going to do it just for the sake of the competition.
Selain saw the enthusiasm in the eyes of everyone, and two golden wings appeared behind her back.
"Then let's go!"
Her wings flapped a bit, and she launched towards the destination like a rocket.
The others were also just waiting for the word 'start'.
[Divine Spirit's Blessing: Wings of Light!]
Lia used the spirit magic and used her silver wings to fly at an amazingly fast speed.
[Dao Rhythm: Maximum Output!]
[Draconian Movement Art!]
Link carried Riya princess style and used his Dao Rhythm to boost the speed of his movement art, and his running speed was even faster than both Selain and Lia.
[Mana Field!]
[Spatial Drift!]
Everyone used their skills to the extreme to enhance their speed and reach the goal faster; those poor horses were totally forgotten, and the servants who prepared them were left in shock.
Selain glanced at Lia, who was keeping up with her speed and used words to distract her. "When I win, I will buy drinks for everyone instead, then I will grab Rio's drink and drink it! That will be an indirect kiss!! Hehe!"
Instead of getting bothered, Lia became even faster after hearing those words,
"Hmph, that is if you can win over me!"
[Divine Spirit's Blessing: Wings of Light: Overload!]
Two extra wings appeared behind Lia's back, and her speed increased by two times with those four silver wings.
Even Selain was taken aback for a second, but then she put more mana in her golden wings and became serious.
Meanwhile, Riya, who was being carried by Link, didn't even know what happened all of a sudden.
The group decided on the competition a bit too fast, and before she could react, Link was already carrying her.
"Ugh, those two are quite fast!"
Link hasn't yet mastered his movement art properly, so he's not able to keep up with the speed of the two.
Liam was the one who was falling behind, as he had just recently learned to use mana field and his mastery wasn't that good yet.
"D*mn! I should have known Rio would be here already! Why did I even compete in this unfair
competition.. ugh..."
Link couldn't help but give a helpless look; he really can't compete with Rio in terms of speed.
Making him compete with Rio in terms of speed is like asking a snail to race with a bullet
train; it's just pointless.
...
Once the group's competitive spirit was fired up, they directly started competing in all
aspects.
There were several minigame stalls arranged by the dragonmen in this festival, so Link and Liam dragged Rio with them to compete.
In the end, the results would be pretty much the same, though you can't compete with how fast Rio adapts and how fast he learns new things.
He beat both Link and Liam to the point of no recovery in every game; the two of them would remember that moment as a part of their dark history.
After that day, they will never dare to compete with Rio in games and stuff, as it's just
pointless. (Poor guys got ptsd...)
...
Meanwhile, the three girls just shook their heads and went over to enjoy various sweets and
pastries.
Selain was sweating buckets when Riya directly emptied the whole stock of candies from a
shop.
She glanced at Lia and asked in a trembling voice,
"A-are you sure that thing is a human? Can humans even eat that much candy!?"
Lia sighed at that question and replied,
"Er, W-who might you be talking about.. I-I personally don't know that person..."
Lia directly refused to acknowledge that she even knew Riya, 'The Candy Destroyer'...
"Uh... Maybe we should drag her away now..."
Not only Selain, even the shop owner was begging Riya to leave; he was already praying to his ancestors to save him and chanting loudly,
"Oh, ancestral spirit, please leave now; this poor lamb has nothing left to feed you..." Normal people eat candies one at a time, but Riya eats a whole packet of them in a matter of
seconds.
If there was a competition where the person who eats more candy faster would win, then even Rio wouldn't be able to keep up with Riya's speed.
In the end, Lia and Selain had to use a lot of strength to drag away Riya from that candy shop.
No one knew how that weak and frail-looking Riya summoned so much strength that two A- rankers were having difficulty dragging her away.
