Si Qian's Scheme.

Long Tian could already feel the malicious gaze coming from Si Qian. If looks could kill, Long Tian would have died a thousand times over.

'You might be some big shot, but I have a system.' Long Tian thought. In fact, he felt Si Qian's behaviour was quite childish.

"Look, it's Minister He." Someone in the crowd muttered. Although the voice was low, everybody could hear it, the heads in the venue turned toward the entrance in unison.

There was a man in golden spectacles, he had a very calm demeanour and a scholarly aura around him, this man was the Minister of Education, Qi He. This man relatively young for someone in such a high position, he was only in his late 30's. It is said that the President of Country Z and Minister He were college mates. The President and him together wanted to change Country Z into a better place than it was before.

They started their career in politics together, Qi He was a legendary existence who broke the norms and changed the Education System for the better. After he took his current position, the number of student suicides, bullying and educational corruption dropped to an all time low. Everybody in the nation, especially the students including Long Tian admired him very much.

Qi He walked towards his seat in a very scholarly fashion. The Five Dragons stood up and greeted him respectively.

"Minister He, I've long since yearned to meet you. You are an inspiration to all the students including me. I admire you very much." Si Qian took the lead and started to bootlick Qi He.

"No need for excess admiration. You need to concentrate on what's ahead of you and cultivate some skills that will help you in the future." Qi He said. He was a very straight forward man, he did not like small talk.

'Bootlicking is one such skill.' Si Qian thought to himself.

"It is an honour to meet you." Long Tian said and shook his hand.

"You..you're tall. You look more like a businessman than a student in that three piece. It fits you well. I wish you all the best for your future endeavours." Qi He said.

When someone first lays eyes on Long Tian, the one thing that they immediately notice is his height. He is tall, 6'4" was more than just rare in Country Z, although there were people over 6'0", it was almost impossible to meet someone so tall in your day to day life.

"Thank you, for the compliment." Long Tian said humbly and sat back down.

Soon, the male anchor(emcee) arrived and the award ceremony officially began. There were a few performances and there was also excess praising of both the Minister of Education and The Five Dragons. Now, it was the Five Dragons' turn to speak, Wang Qingran was up first. She said a few sweet words and then came back down.

Next, Si Qian went up, held the microphone in his hand and then started to speak. After a short speech about how much of an achiever he is, he took a deep breath and spoke again.

"On this wonderful occasion, I would like to perform a song for you all. I have some small achievements when it comes to a Violin, So I would like to embarrass myself in front of you with those little skills." Si Qian said.

Although he sounded very humble, he was infact showing off. Some experienced people in the venue sneered at Si Qian.

Soon, someone from backstage brought out a Violin and gave it to Si Qian. With the bow in his hand he started to play the Violin. The tune was very pleasant and soothing, everybody closed their eyes and started to enjoy the tune.

Only Long Tian, had a sneer on his face, to him Si Qian's skills were full of deadly flaws. The Violin soon stopped and there was loud applause for Si Qian.

"Thank You! Thank You, my skills are only so-so, I've heard that fellow dragon Long Tian's skills are much greater than mine, I've heard people call him the God of Violin. So, why don't we welcome him on stage and witness his great skills for ourselves." Si Qian suggested.

Although it looked like a polite invitation, the experienced people in the room knew exactly what was going on. This fellow was setting Long Tian up!

A glint of realization flashed past the eyes of Qi He and Wang Qingran. Especially Wang Qingran, she had been to many influential gatherings and would often run into Si Qian, so she knew exactly what kind of person this fellow was, on the other hand Long Tian only had a smile on his face.

Looking at him smile, Qi He, Wang Qingran and the other experienced people in the venue felt quite curious. 'This confident expression on his face can't be a facade can it?' They thought.

Long Tian stood up with amazing grace and said

"Sure, why not."

He was at Master level in all the music instruments thanks to the task he completed. Only a few in the world were his match, yet this ant like existence called Si Qian dares challenge him with his flawed and inadequate skills!

[Ding! Face slap the arrogant prodigal son.]

[Reward :- Random]

The smile on his face grew even wider. This was the very definition of "One shot, Two birds.", he already wanted to teach Si Qian a lesson, now completing a task while doing just that was even more convenient.
