Chapter 1240 The Legend Of The Boar Berserker– The Musical And The Ballad Of Grimdawn
Osha knew she did a good job from observing the intensity of applause. She smiled brightly before speaking to her audience in a friendly tone again.
"Tonight is your night, my young stars. So I need something from you all- your active participation. I want you to be vocal and expressive. It is so that you can each contribute to making this event memorable for us all.
We will start this event on a high note. Please welcome tonight's first group of performers on stage."
Another round of applause ensued. It could be said that Osha was progressively getting better at being a good host. She didn't waste time wrapping up her first verbal salvo.
The Grad Ball event had a long list of various small and big programs before the actual Ball took place. The actual Ball would start at midnight after these programs were over.
The first group of performers came on stage and started their performance with a bang. They used vibrant music and eye-catching magic to enhance their dance performance's entertainment quotient.
This group of rankers used the art of dance to showcase their skills and elemental attainments. The group received plenty of accolades and various ranking resources as gifts from its audience when it concluded its performance.
The first group of rankers was only the beginning. The rest of the program was a fascinating mix of dance performances, solo and group singing, and on-stage plays.
There was also an on-stage play on Sansara World from the perspective of rankers from Edinburgh's side. It portrayed Edinburgh rankers as justice-seeking heroes while their enemies were painted as vile evil Layos rankers.

Then there was a Musical about Steve.
It incorporated song, dance, theatrical sight scenes, and dialogues to tell Steve's story exaggeratedly. The title of this Musical was The Legend of a Boar Berserker. When the Musical ended, each performer involved in the performance stood their ground before delivering an inspiring song in a synchronized manner.
"From a time long ago, a legend was told
Of a Boar Berserker, fearless and bold
With a brave heart and a noble soul
He inspired his people to fight and endure
In battle, he was a dynamic force to behold
Fighting fiercely, he never grew old
Killing enemies with his strength and might
Conquering fear, he never lost sight
His heroic deeds echo through the land
The people looked up to him and took a stand
Against any foe, they fought with his zeal
With the Boar Berserker's strength, they knew they could heal
His legend lives on, even today
An inspiring tale that will never sway
Of a hero who fought for what was right
And never gave up without a fight
So let us remember this Boar Berserker's name
And honor his memory with our own fiery flame
For in his bravery and dynamic might
We find the strength to conquer any fright."
The storytellers were very creative. They fast-forwarded the timeline around Steve and painted it in their own way to make Steve a star personality.
Steve didn't think he could blush so hard. He felt like digging a hole below his round table and dropping below the floating white palace.
When the Musical was re-performed on request, Steve's cheeks were red with embarrassment. The audience looked at Steve with all kinds of emotions in their eyes.
Rankers even suggested Steve join the musical and go on stage. They cheered him on and laughed at him for acting so shy and embarrassed.
To make matters worse, Eren offered these young performers plenty of ranking resources when their Musical ended for the second time. He also invited them to the city of White Raven. He told them he would provide plenty of exposure for them so that the Legend of the Boar Berserker becomes a hit with the masses.
Of course, the Novice ranked performers were glad to take Eren up on his offer. They started making ambitious plans in their heads to make their Musical even more immersive and engaging.

There was a ballad about the battle at the Edinnica Arena as well. It was told from the perspective of Hansen Lehan– a veteran Sage who fought to protect Edinburgh's young blood. In the end, Hansen Lehan was injured but successfully defended what he stood for.
Another on-stage play described the battle of Edinnica Arena from a different perspective. Surprisingly, it was shown from the perspective of an Expert ranker known as Grimdawn.
A young Novice ranker played as Eren Elijah Idril in this play. He bore an uncanny resemblance to the real Eren in his looks. As a warrior for the kingdom, he punished the evil rankers of Layos.
This on-stage Eren also gave an inspiring speech to his audience. He basically said that he would fight for his country and punish anyone who offends its honor and integrity.
In the end, this play also ended with a solo song.
"In battles fought for a noble aim,
Foes fall to the hero's lionhearted flame.
Enemies slain, justice served with might,
The Paladin of Pain defeated in the fight.
Tittled Grimdawn, unparalleled might,
Inspires people with a fearless sight.
A hero with a heart, both strong and bold.
Through danger and fear, he remains in control.
His enemies tremble, for they know his name.
White Raven City thrives, thanks to his reign.
Promiscuous and powerful, he rules with grace,
And his foes face the dawn of a grim fate.
For the hero fights for what is just.
Defends his people with unwavering trust.
A legend in his time, an inspiration to all.
The hero's name echoes with an immortal call."
The audience looked at Eren while the theatrical performance was going on. The graduate rankers were about to pass on various creative comments to Eren as well. But they soon found out that Eren wasn't as flustered as Steve. The butcher looked like he was truly enjoying the play about him.
"This guy... This play... brilliant! They described me so well."
Eren couldn't help but comment out loud in a dramatic voice when the play ended. He also clapped and gave the performers a standing ovation.
Grimdawn also offered the performers ample sums of Extols and plenty of ranking resources for their ranks. But unlike Steve's case, he did not offer them any exposure.
The graduate rankers snorted at Eren when he tooted his own horn. But they still offered the performers applause and additional gits.
