Reborn as an Extra

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 Riyaʼs 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 donʼt have any solid plans, so letʼs just enjoy the day and try our luck at random places...”

The rest of the group also nodded their heads at Selainʼs 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? Letʼs compete! The one who will reach the market area first will get to have free drinks!”

Hearing the word ʼcompeteʼ everyoneʼs spirit was fired up; pretty much all of them are always looking forward to a competition, so they get excited easily.

It didnʼt 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 letʼs go!”

Her wings flapped a bit, and she launched towards the destination like a rocket.

The others were also just waiting for the word ʼstartʼ.

[Divine Spiritʼs 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 Rioʼs 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 Spiritʼs Blessing: Wings of Light: Overload!]

Two extra wings appeared behind Liaʼs 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, didnʼt 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 hasnʼt yet mastered his movement art properly, so heʼs 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 wasnʼt that good yet.

Amidst the laughter and chaos, the group finally reached the market area.

In the end, Lia barely won over Selain by a hairʼs breath.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled at Selain, saying,

”Hmph, you are still a few hundred years too early to be competing with me...”

Selain pouted her cheeks and then glanced around.

And sure enough, Rio was standing there nearby.

He was already standing near a tea stall and enjoying tea in peace.

”Ugh, it seems he was able to come here faster... Seriously, itʼs unfair to be competing with him...”

Hearing Selainʼs words, Lia also sighed and shook her head.

”Er, I already knew it was pointless to be competing with him in a competition of speed...”

Yeah, Rio had already won when the rest of the group was still just halfway to the finish mark; The then went over to the tea stall to wait for the rest of the group to come over. Competing with Rio in a competition about ʼspeedʼ is the most pointless thing indeed.

Rio glanced at the two and waved his hand to invite them over; they shook their heads and walked over to his side.

”Here, I have already ordered tea for the whole group... I have to say though, the tea made in Dragon Valley is indeed unique...”

Hearing Rioʼs words, Selain nodded her head and said,

”Indeed, the ingredients in Dragon Valley are of better quality; after all, the mana in Dragon Valley is denser compared to the outside world...”

The tea stall owner was a middle-aged woman; she glanced at Rio and said,

”Young man, I havenʼt seen anyone as knowledgeable as you about tea in a long while; this old lady is happy to see the three are still people who can identify all the ingredients just by

the scent...”

Indeed, before the group even reached here, Rio already had a small talking session with the lady, and she was impressed by how knowledgeable Rio was in this matter.

”Alas, my husband never seems to understand my hobbies...”

Rio simply shrugged his shoulders and replied in his usual emotionless voice.

”Well, everyone canʼt understand the great art of tea making.”

The old lady also nodded her head and smiled,

”Indeed... only veterans know the awesomeness!”

Selain and Lia both were totally forgotten when the two of them talked.

The two girls couldnʼt help but sigh and feel helpless; Rioʼs love for tea is something they

canʼt compete with at all.

Selain even gave Lia a pat on the shoulder and spoke in a supportive tone.

”Learn how to make tea; thatʼs the only way to reach the depths of his heart!”

Lia also nodded her head and sighed, but then gave Selain a suspicious look.

”Hmm? Why are you helping me? Arenʼt we rivals?”

Selain just shrugged her shoulders and replied in a rather vague tone.

”Well, we indeed are rivals, but I will feel bad if some other third girl came and won him over

just because she knew more about tea... It would be much safer to have him with you...”

Lia narrowed her eyes for a second and then nodded her head.

”Yeah, I really should learn about it...”

Just when the three of them were busy drinking tea, the rest of the group also caught up with

them and arrived.

”D*mn! I should have known Rio would be here already! Why did I even compete in this unfair

competition.. ugh...”

Link couldnʼt help but give a helpless look; he really canʼt 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; itʼs just pointless.

...

Once the groupʼs 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 canʼt 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 itʼs 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 donʼt know that person...”

Lia directly refused to acknowledge that she even knew Riya, ʼThe Candy Destroyerʼ...

”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 wouldnʼt be able to keep up with Riyaʼs 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.
