Chapter 291 The Award Ceremony! Part-2.

Royal Garden, Front Gate.

A luxurious car stopped in front of the gate, and a bodyguard rushed to open the door of the car.

The first one to get off the car was Link.

And then others got out of the car one after another.

Link, Lia, Riya, Liam, Ellie, Fade, and Kira--all seven of them were wearing the elven-style dresses given to them by the staff members.

Unlike Rio, who has no fashion sense at all, the others came here after getting ready and making proper hairstyles. (Yeah, even Riya has more fashion sense than him.)

Each one of them had a unique design on their clothes that suited them according to their personalities.

Link's clothes were imprinted with the design of a red dragon, while Lia's clothes bore the design of a silver lion, and the same was true for the others.

Not only did team Astra receive dresses that reflected something unique about them, but all of the candidates did as well.

This is the ultimate respect given by the Elven King to all of the future geniuses.

All candidates who made it to this competition are geniuses, no matter if they won or lost, so it was important to respect each one of them.

While walking on the red carpet, Liam smiled awkwardly and asked Lia in confusion.

"Uh, don't you think the atmosphere between them two is quite strange today?"

While saying that, Liam pointed to Link and Riya. And sure enough, the two of them really were avoiding each other.

Normally, Link and Riya would be walking together, holding each other's hands, but today, for some reason, they are refusing to even speak to each other, as if they are upset with each other.

Lia sighed at Liam's question and replied with a complicated look on her face.

"Apparently, Link wanted to punish Riya for not coming to see his final match, so he went ahead and ate all of the candies that she had given him for safekeeping, and when she returned last night..."

"She was so upset that she stopped talking to him, and he was also upset at her, so ultimately it turned into a situation where both of them are not talking to each other and are avoiding each other..."

Liam was quite surprised by this; he didn't expect that even this happy-go-lucky pair of lovebirds could end up fighting one day, and the culprit of this fight was 'candies'.

Liam couldn't help but say it in a complicated tone.

"Uh, it seems the matter of candies is indeed quite serious..."

Just when the two of them were talking, Fade said in a loud voice,

"Heh! You guys have absolutely no concept of cooperation! Kira and I never fight! We are the best!"

Kira nodded her head in agreement with Fade's statement. Although Fade has a weird personality and talks like a mentally ill person who has an eighth grader syndrome, the two of them never fight at all.

Hearing Fade's voice, blood veins appeared on Liam's face in an instant, and he replied in an irritated tone.

"Who asked? Can't you shut up sometimes in a while?"

Obviously, Fade wasn't going to back down at all, and he immediately replied in a mocking tone.

"Hmph! You dumb, rich bastards are just so full of bulsh*t! Just wait! I will one day beat you all and pay back this humiliation-"

Before Fade could even complete his sentence, Ellie waved her hand and made him shut up by covering her head with her shadow magic.

"Go away; we have heard that same sentence more than a thousand times; don't you have some new dialogues?"

Link scoffed at Fade and shook his head in disappointment.

For a loner like Rio, friends are rare, so keeping a firm hold on these rare friendships is very important.

Riya glanced at Link with a slight pout on her cheek.

"Hmph! Lia, tell that guy that at least Rio's a trustworthy person; he doesn't steal candies from poor people like a certain someone, hmph!"

Riya was furious with Link today after going through all those difficult days in the previous week, only to return and discover that he had devoured her entire stash of candies.

And nothing was left for her; she was so angry that she didn't even want to talk to him at all, so she was saying her thoughts to Lia and making sure that Link was hearing them too.

Link also didn't back down, though; he glanced at Lia and said,

"Lia, tell her that those who break their promises are bad people; unless she admits her mistake, I am not buying her any more candies!"

Riya puffed up her cheeks even more and said it angrily.

"Lia, tell him that I can just go and buy the candies by myself; I don't need a fatty guy like him to pick them up for me, hmph!"

Seeing the two of them drag her in their fight, a complicated look appeared on Lia's face.

"Er, you two... You should probably make up with each other now; it's just a matter of saying 'sorry' no?"

But Link and Riya were not going to listen to Lia's words at all.

"Hmph! The worker bee won't forgive the big bear who stole all the honey that she worked hard to store in her beehive!"

Link also said it immediately.

"The bear was patient, but the worker bee didn't give him his share of honey as promised before, so he got angry and stole it all!!"

Riya clenched her teeth and said,

"That bear is unreasonable! The worker bee had to work so hard to collect the honey from those rare flowers!!"

Link immediately replied to that with,

"Hmph! The worker bee didn't fulfill her promises; obviously, she will have to bear the consequences of it~"

The two of them glared at each other, and Lia could see those imaginary sparks of lightning collide between them.

At this point, not even Lia knows what these two are talking about.

'Ugh... These two are so in sync that I don't even know what they are arguing about anymore, Where did this honey and beehive even come from...'

...

Author's Notes.

Yo! It's your beloved author here! Link and Riya seem so cute even while arguing; they are using metaphors to describe their situation...

Question of the day.

Who do you think should apologize first?

1. The hungry bear (The bear's actions were too excessive, he shouldn't have eaten that much...)

2. The worker bee (the bee broke her promise, so she was wrong for it...)
