Chapter 363: The Fireworks show... Part-1.



Central City, East District.

While walking on the streets of the central city, the group not only enjoyed the games put up

by the dragon folk, they also got to see the amazing decorations placed by the people on their homes.

Every house in the central city has been decorated to at least a minimum level.

No matter poor or rich, people have done their best to decorate their houses; this is how important the great dragon festival is to the dragon race after all.

Evening, after the duel.

Standing near a smartphone cover stall, the three most talented guys of the younger generation were in a great dilemma at the moment.

"Hmm, which one should I buy... They have the couple ones, but I don't really know which one Riya will like..."

Just 30 minutes ago, the group split up once more, with the girls opting to go on a solo shopping spree, leaving the three of them wandering aimlessly through the streets.

And as Riya isn't here, Link has no idea what to buy, as he doesn't know what she would like to buy.

"Hey, forget it, I will just buy the whole stall!"

Liam rubbed his temples after hearing those words and spoke in an annoyed tone.

"Idiot! What are you going to do with so many phone covers!? Just buy any random two and be done with it!"

Upon hearing those words, Link glared back at Liam, saying,

"Tch! You don't know anything; Ellie doesn't use smartphones; otherwise, you would have been stumped by the choices too!"

While the two were bickering, Rio just went ahead and bought himself a pair without hesitating too much.

He doesn't really care how bad his own smartphone cover looks; he just saw that the female counterpart of that pair looked good, and so he bought it for Lia.

'After wandering around in such a big festival for so long, if I don't even buy something for her... wouldn't I be considered an inconsiderate boyfriend...'

[You think too much... She's been with you for two years, and I don't think she would be fazed by such small things...]

'Well, I did hear on the internet that in relationships, small things are the ones that matter the most...'

[Like?]

'Hmm, for example, you appreciate the other party's efforts no matter how small and pointless they are... and always say some good words from time to time...'

'Seems like small matters, but they do have a lot of effect... Buying something for her is also part of it... I need to keep up with her pace; she's always ready to make delicious food for me...'

'I need to return some favor, or I am too useless as a boyfriend...'

[Unexpectedly, you can indeed give decent advice on relationships... I didn't expect that from you...]

'I might not have much emotion left, but I have enough common sense...'

There are two ways people can go when they lose their humanity.

Either the person goes the path of a monster and becomes a total maniac who slaughters or torments people so as to feel any sort of remaining emotions in their heart.

Or the person will go the path that Rio is walking.

Learn how normal people respond and adapt to situations.

Even if you lose your emotions, learn how to act like someone who has emotions.

By this point, Rio has learned so much about emotions and the ways of 'acting like a human' that he can do it flawlessly.

[By the way, are you going to help out those two or not? They are creating quite the mess there...]

she kept on being persistent about it.

"By the way, how was the battle? Are you feeling okay now? Facing Rio's sword intent head on

can be a great shock for first-timers."

Selain sighed at those words and nodded her head.

"Yeah, I still have some lingering fear of it... A legendary skill is indeed miraculous; thankfully, I gained some insights from Rio's attack and will be able to improve in the

future..."

Lia patted Selain's shoulder and said with a smile on her face.

"Well, you are doing better than I expected; when I got hit by sword intent for the first time, I was having nightmares... It's a very destructive power after all; it affects not only your body but your soul and consciousness too..."

"Last time I got hit by it was when Rio still hadn't reached 50% mastery over it, now that he has become even better at it... I really can't fathom how awful it would feel to get hit by it..."

Lia gave a slight smile and shook her head before speaking.

"His hands were trembling like crazy, and his eyes were shaking when he used sword intent on me during the tournament... I guess even someone as indifferent as him gets troubled

when fighting those who he cares for..."

Selain sighed at those words, then continued speaking.

"I think he hesitated only because it was you he was fighting... I don't think he would be that shaken when fighting anyone else..."

"You are really lucky, Lia; you got to meet him before me... Otherwise, I would have snatched

him for myself... I warn you, if one day you end up breaking up with him, I will accept him, so

make sure you don't give me the chance..."

Lia smiled at those words and spoke with confidence.

"Hmph, who do you think I am! I will never let you have your way with him!"

Selain shrugged her shoulders at words.

"We will see, hehe..."

"Okay, we have spent enough time chit-chatting; it's about time we head towards the

fireworks show venue..."

Lia also nodded her head and grabbed Riya's hand to drag her along with them.

Riya, who was completely oblivious to the world around her, got dragged around by the two

with no thoughts in her mind.
