346 Show of Talents (1/2)

Yale didn't know what kind of modifications made Ronragruk for the traditions, but he felt that it couldn't be more boring and repetitive than the ones that the Dragon Race was showing at that moment.

”Just wait and see.”

At that moment, Ronragruk changed again to his dragon form and left to the place where all the others were. Yale just followed him.

All the members of the Dragon Race stopped when they saw Ronragruk, and the members of Yale's group were shocked by seeing the huge dragon.

”Everyone! Let's start with the most important part of the tradition, the show of talents!”

All the members of the tribe seemed excited when hearing Ronragruk speak about that, but Yale's group was clueless about it. Moreover, only Yale knew that it was just a fake tradition invented by Ronragruk, but given how old Ronragruk was, it could really be called tradition at that moment.

”First, let's explain it for our guests. This is one of the major traditional events on our tribe. Everyone has the chance to show their talents, and the one considered the best after finishing all the exhibitions would be able to request one thing from me, the great Ronragruk. Of course, I am also participating.”

The chance of requesting something to a Law Master like Ronragruk was indeed valuable, so Yale guessed that even in the past when it should have been easy to notice that Ronragruk was inventing the tradition, no one objected it and just agreed to Ronragruk's idea.

Of course, in case that Ronragruk won, no one would obtain the request, and about ninety percent of the times the show of talents happened, the winner had been Ronragruk.

Yale's eyes lighted when he heard about that request because he had something to ask Ronragruk, but he felt that asking for a favor to someone he just met wasn't too polite. Especially given that the other party was a Law Master who was treating them already very well.

”I will be the first as usual. If no one feels like having the possibility of surpassing me, there is no need of wasting time.”

After all, that was an event that Ronragruk created to amuse himself, and he didn't want to lose time seeing mediocre performances of others or seeing the same failures each time would have turned the event into something too boring.

”Today I will show you all another of the ancestral forms of dragon dance!”

When Yale heard Ronragruk say those words, he was sure that Ronragruk had just finished inventing that dragon dance and had nothing of ancestral.

However, Yale didn't say anything, and just sat while the music started, and Ronragruk started his performance.

The dance of Ronragruk was weird enough to leave everyone dumbfounded. It had nothing of traditional and ancestral, but it was still quite interesting since they hadn't seen anything like that before.

Although Ronragruk had shrunk his size to five meters, seeing a five-meter dragon moving weirdly while he walked backward despite seeming to walk onwards was still something that caught everyone's attention.

Moreover, the dance was accompanied by fire and sparks of lightning emanating from Ronragruk's body, which created a beautiful effect reflected on his scales.

When he finished, no one could say a word about it, and no one dared to try to do it. After all, despite being weird, it still had some charm, and the members of the Dragon Race didn't dare to comment about ancestral dragon dances.

As for Yale's group, they didn't understand about dances at all, but they felt that Ronragruk had more talent as a dancer than as a fearsome dragon. In fact, all their fear towards Ronragruk disappeared after seeing him dancing.

”What do you think? Anyone wants to try to surpass it?”

No one replied to that question, which was usually the meaning for Ronragruk winning by default. Unless the members of the Dragon Race had confidence in winning, they wouldn't dare to embarrass themselves in front of Ronragruk.

”No one? How about my friend, the Demon Lord?”

Ronragruk felt that it was a pity if no one of Yale's group acted since they were the guests. After all, the guests weren't in the tribe permanently like the others, so even if they weren't very good, at least Ronragruk felt that they should be able to show something interesting.

Yale originally planned to do something, but he didn't feel that his show of swordsmanship that he had planned had more impact than Ronragruk's dance.

”My skills can't compare with yours, but if you ask me to give it a try, I will embarrass myself.”

Yale wasn't trying to be modest because he really didn't feel that his swordsmanship exhibition could win against that dance.

”Lar, come.”
