The Dragon Duel

**The Dragon Duel** is the twenty-fourth episode of the first season of Regal Academy.

## Synopsis

*When the new dragon-riding teacher and Coach Beast decide to hold a dragon race at Beast Castle, Rose must compete against Vicky in the final dragon obstacle course.*

## Plot

Rose goes to Travis' house to take him to school. She notices the shoes that his mother is wearing and compliments them. As Rose always says, "the right shoes can make amazing things happen."

Because Travis has already left, she decides to look at his art gallery. He has been trying to hang them up in his family castle, but his grandfather will not allow it.

Rose goes to Regal Academy and meets with her friends at the Dragon Arena, where Travis informs them that there will be a new teacher for dragon riding class. That teacher will replace Coach Beast.

When he reveals that Sir George will take his grandfather's place, Hawk and Rose are excited, seeing as he is the greatest dragon rider in history.

Coach Beast starts his class to announce that Sir George will replace him. Sir George however, behaves unusually. When he is introduced, he does not face the class. He also addresses Beast as a young lady due to his mane.

The class demonstrates their skill at dragon riding and Ling Ling does a superior job than her peers. However, Sir George claims that her riding is the worst he has ever seen. Then, he says that he has a lot of work to do, so he begins a class exercise, having the students carry their dragons across the arena.

Vicky realizes that Sir George has some secret to riding dragons well and plans to uncover what it is. Thus, she flatters him in order to do so.

In the meantime, Rose gives her dragon a pair of shoes to wear. Although she expects to be get in trouble by Sir George, she receives admiration instead. Sir George claims that it is the best dragon training he has ever seen.

After class, Hawk admits that Sir George has been behaving strangely, but he remains a fan. Coach Beast however, has had enough of him, and challenges his teaching method. They decide to host the Dragon Olympics, to decide whose teaching style is better.

Travis claims that his grandfather hates his paintings more than Sir George; but on the next day, when Rose and Travis ask Coach Beast if they can hang his paintings in their castle, he says that he is not concerned about his paintings. Rather, he is concerned about hanging his paintings on the walls of the castle. Nonetheless, Coach Beast refuses and Rose wagers that if she wins the Dragon Olympics, then they can hang Travis' paintings around the castle. Coach Beast however, refuses her offer.

During class, Vicky asks if Sir George has a secret to dragon riding, to which he reveals his brooch, which can control dragons. Vicky asks if she can see it, to which he hands it over to her for being his favorite. Vicky steals the brooch by giving Sir George Cyrus' afternoon banana.

After the initial events of the Dragon Olympics, Vicky, Ling Ling, and Rose make it to the finals. The last challenge is a dragon race across Beast Castle.

While they are racing, Vicky uses the brooch and controls Ling Ling's dragon to crash into the nearby tower, causing her to fall. She uses the brooch again to make Rose's dragon fall into the tar pit below, but the shoes that Rose gave her dragon allow her to walk through the tar. As Vicky takes the lead, she crashes into a digital net and she, along with the brooch, falls into the tar pit below. Rose's dragon carries her across the finish line and win the race.

Coach Beast holds up his end of the bargain, even though he refused Rose's wager, and alllows Travis to hang up his paintings around his castle. Ling Ling tells him that paintings are a way for warriors to obtain focus and concentration. She convinces Beast that painting is not as detrimental as he thinks it is.

The episode concludes with Ruby searching for Vicky in the tar pits, which are being cleaned up. She notices the dragon brooch among the tar and picks it up over how shiny it is.
