“Aries Dragon Riding Festival?”
Wu Yan stood still.
This world used constellations to measure date. It didn’t use numbers to denote the date.
For instance, there are 12 zodiacs for the twelve months in a year.
The Aries month is equivalent to April on Earth.
Aries Dragon Riding Festival is an annual celebration held in Ansullivan Dragonar Academy as a form of spring celebration.
This festival entailed riders finishing a marathon on their Pals. Whoever crosses the finish line first wins and will be conferred rewards.
For the students, this meant getting their achievements recorded and afforded credits during assessments.
Wu Yan also heard about this festival from Ash and Raymond but he thought nothing of it.
He isn’t planning on graduating from this place. If Rebecca didn’t bring this up then he would have forgotten the festival by now.
“You…”
Wu Yan scratched his cheek.
“You want me to go?”
“It isn’t just a sports festival. It is a tradition in Ansullivan Dragonar Academy, the results will be recorded in the students’ achievement and school records.”
rebecca sighed.
“I say that but it is still a sports event. Since you’re free and you’re not yet officially a student council member, why don’t you join?”
“I see.”
Wu Yan isn’t excited at all.
“Pass, I would rather hit the books here.”
“You’re a new student and you’re already so lethargic when it comes to events. This is a bad sign.”
Rebecca tried to persuade him.
“If it were not for my identity as operating staff of the festival, I would have joined the marathon.”
“Hmm?”
Wu Yan turned around with a curious look.
“Yes but I am still very involved.”
Rebecca grinned.
“I am going to announce that whoever wins the race gets to go on a day’s date with me.”
“A date?”
Wu Yan gasped. She gave him a very seductive smile.
“What’s wrong? Suddenly interested?”
“You’re playing with fire here…”
Wu Yan looked into her eyes.
“Are you doing this because you want to see my Pal? You want me to join and exhibit my Pal, right?”
Rebecca’s smirk confirmed his suspicion.
“I know you ladies can’t help your curiosity but this is a bit overboard isn’t it?”
“Oh, really?”
Rebecca crossed her arms.
“You have too many secrets. If I ask then you’re probably going to use your ‘amnesia’ card again. Might as well pry it from you.”
“Huh?”
Rebecca’s eyes were serious, she is calling him out on his BS.
“Ah, so you saw through my act.”
“Well, you never tried hard enough to conceal them.”
Rebecca conceded.
“If you wanted to hide your secrets, you should have kept a low profile.”
“Well, you got me.”
Wu Yan shrugged.
“You admit that you were lying about your amnesia?”
“Yeah, I wasn’t really hiding it. It was just convenient.”
Wu Yan laid down his bottom line.
“You can ask me questions but just know that I am not planning on divulging certain matters.”
Wu Yan explained.
“Ah, how direct.”
Rebecca beamed at him.
“My curiosity will probably cause you more problems from now on so be prepared…”
“I am fine with it.”
Wu Yan gave her a taunting grin.
“If you can secure a position in my heart then you will most likely get your answers. Plus, my secrets aren’t that interesting, just unbelievable.”
“I should think so.”
Rebecca remembered the day the whole world’s Astral went on a rampage.
“You’re saying I only need to drill myself into your heart?”
Rebecca slowly inched her exquisite mien closer to Wu Yan’s face. Her jade-green eyes were gleaming with feminine charm.
“Are you saying there is no spot for me in your heart?”
“Well, you’re just a benefactor at this point.”
Wu Yan resisted her charm with a calm mind.
“You saved me and enrolled me here. I can’t thank you enough for that.”
Rebecca sighed after failing to charm him.
“I am starting to doubt my charms.”
“I am starting to suspect you’re treating me like the male students out there.”
Wu Yan rolled his eyes. He continued searching the racks for his book.
“You think just a little teasing would get you a spot in my heart?”
“Nope, I just found your reaction amusing.”
Rebecca shrugged.
“Well, are you going to join the Aries Dragon Riding Festival?”
“I am not interested but I do see some appeal in the event.”
“My Pal isn’t suited for a marathon. How about you lend me your pal? I will join then.”
“Huh?”
Rebecca gasped.
“You want to borrow my pal?!”
“What’s the big deal?”
Wu Yan glanced in her direction.
“Yeah, it’s a big deal!”
“Do you know who my Pal is?”
“Well, I did hear news of it.”
Wu Yan snickered.
“The strongest Maestro in the school.”
“Do you think it would be that easy to ride my Pal?”
Rebecca seriously urged Wu Yan to reconsider.
“My pal isn’t as merciful as its smaller counterparts. Even if I am there, it would be extremely dangerous if my Pal rampages.”
“Well, since we are talking about a dragon here, the danger is apparent to me. But, we haven’t tried it out yet, why worry about it?”
Wu Yan waved his hand.
“Are you going to lend me your pal or not?”
Rebecca shook her head.
“You look like you’re drying to try. Fine, try it out for yourself.”
