The dance Riku was doing definitely caught not just the elder attention, but everyone too. An expert was trying to see an opening in her dance but failed everytime he thought he had it.
Every rhythm and every strike she did could be considered flawless. Not to mention her natural beauty, the scene was like a maiden dancing on a grassy field under the moonlight.
As Riku finished her moves, it took a whole minute for the others to realize that it was over. Even the elder couldn't believe what he just saw.
*clap
One of the elders in the panel stood up and began clapping his hands furiously. He was the original master of Riku. His clapping incited a butterfly-like effect and soon the whole arena was clapping her performance.
Receiving such standing applauses was a new experience for Riku. Her face was flushed red while she bowed repeatedly.
"Disciple Riku, definite PASS!" shouted the elder.
