Chapter 686: Ice and Snow Festival Ball

The second round of the team competition is over, and the third adventure competition will not be held until the middle of the next semester, with only one snow festival dance in between.

So then, all the contestants will have a long break.

Sherlock gathers rare materials while sewing and cooking, and soon the much-anticipated Snow Festival Ball is ushered in.

The Snow Festival was originally a major holiday in Lesserman, on the Saturday of the second calendar week after Midwinter.

Later, the three schools jointly held the Triwizard Tournament, and at the suggestion of the previous Supreme Witch, the Snow Festival Ball became a repertoire of the event.

The main purpose of the dance is to promote communication between the three schools, and it is not mandatory for ordinary students to participate, but the contestants are not only required to participate, but also to perform the opening dance.

"Xiaoxia, why don't we trick Xing Xuexue out and knock her out, and then I'll take her form and accompany you to the ball." Zoe comes up with another whimsical idea in order to start the dance with Sherlock.

"Well, aren't you afraid that the Supreme Witch will settle accounts with you?" Sherlock said with a smile.

Ever since she was caught by the Supreme Witch Fiona, Zoe has one more person to fear besides Professor McGonagall.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid~" Zoe said that she was not afraid, but she didn't dare to mention it again.

Zoe didn't mention it, but Sherlock still had to figure out who to go to the ball with him.

Originally, Zoe was indeed the best candidate.

However, the main purpose of the dance is to promote communication between the three schools, so it is required that the lead dancer and dance partner must be from different schools.

Sherlock hesitated at first, but by the time he cheekily went to find Raven and Nina, they had already agreed to the invitation.

And it's not just the two of them, almost all the girls in the League of Witches and Xavier have been invited away by the boys of Tillanders.

"Why didn't anyone invite me?" Sherlock is also a high-level player on the combat power rankings, and he is already well-known on the Faeron Continent, so this kind of dilemma should not occur.

"Didn't I come to you as soon as I heard the news?" Zoe said.

"Except for you?"

"Maybe Xiaoxia, you are too good, only a girl as good as me dares to approach you."

"It's not impossible." Sherlock rubbed the stubble off his chin and agreed.

"Hey, hey, you two have low emotional intelligence and have a bottom line." Fox, who was walking aside, looked at the narcissistic expressions of the two, and finally couldn't help but complain.

"Aren't we right?" Sherlock and Zoe sync black question mark faces.

"......That's right," Fawkes took a deep breath and finally controlled his emotions, "Aren't you two going to Weplintara, why don't you leave?" “

"Professor McGonagall said that if I couldn't be sure of my partner today, I would have to go up and do the opening dance alone." Sherlock sighed and said with a sad face.

"Moreover, the professor also told us that the only girl from another school who has not yet accepted the invitation is Xing Hate Xue." Zoe was a little schadenfreude at this point.

"That ice beauty...... Fawkes laughed as well, "it's a bit of a hassle." “

"yes, I've heard that she's turned down more than a hundred boys, and she refuses mercilessly." Zoe paints a vivid picture of the scene.

"However, since that girl has rejected so many people, unless she wants to go up and dance the opening dance alone, she has not much choice, and this may be your chance." Fox analyzed rationally.

"That's right!" Sherlock didn't think there was a problem with that.

"So, go ahead, boy!" Fox encouraged.

"Then I'll give it a try." Sherlock said and walked to the witches' lounge.

Five minutes later, Sherlock walked out of the room.

As Fox expected, Star Hates Snow does ......

I'm going to go to the opening dance alone!

"Hahaha-"

"Hehe, hehe~"

Zoe and Fawkes' laughter resounded throughout the tower, and the news that Sherlock's invitation was rejected by Star Hate Snow also spread, and it became widely known at once.

It's not without its benefits, though.

Since he was destined to dance alone, Sherlock could break the jar and use the time that would have been used to practice dancing to make a dress.

It is not possible to wear a robe at the ball, not even casual dress in general, and it is mandatory to wear a formal dress.

He is a tailor who is almost level 10, and he has unlocked fashion design, and his level of dress-making is naturally much better than those tailor shops outside.

So as the prom approached, there was an endless stream of students looking for him to make clothes, and he rushed three all-nighters until the morning of the prom before completing the last order.

I'm tired, but I make a lot of money, and none of these spellcasters are bad money.

As if to make a lasting impression on the students from Lesserman and Sesk, the school staff had been working on the entire castle for days.

The railing of the staircase is fixed with snowflake icicles that have not melted for thousands of years;

The ceiling of each corridor is unleashed with the illusion of a snowy night starry sky.

The neatly combed mistletoe is hung with a variety of dessert fruits;

The most important of these halls is surrounded by an incomparably real snow scene, and the singing of snow fairies continues to echo, making many people who have never been to the north of Faren feel the charm of ice and snow.

The only fly in the ointment is probably that the food is not very tasty.

According to Sherlock's thoughts, this is the most suitable place to eat barbecue and hot pot.

Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall, who likes to do things strictly according to tradition, did not pass his proposal.

After eating the unpalatable dinner, Dumbledore stood up and clapped his hands to signal silence.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the tables and chairs all shrank into the ground, replaced by a huge stage slowly rising in the center.

There was a set of drums, a few harps, an aden, a set of Zuken, and some bird flutes.

Several snow elves dressed in blue-and-white Snow Festival costumes walked up to the stage amid the frantic applause of the crowd, picked up their instruments and played the traditional song "Edelweiss".

"Edelweiss" is the opening dance, which means that Sherlock needs to go on stage.

It's quite embarrassing to do this ballroom dance alone, but when two people do it together, the embarrassment seems to lessen a lot.

Especially if the other person is very calm.

Sherlock watched Xing Hate Snow walk on stage alone, as if he was affected by the other party's aura, and his embarrassed heart was also relieved.

The two of them just stood alone and watched the opening dance of the rest of them.

Although they still need to lead the second dance, the rest of the people can also participate, and the two of them will not be so conspicuous.

Sherlock thought he would be able to get through it so smoothly.

But who knows, when the last note of "Edelweiss" ended, the music did not stop, but immediately picked up.

the snow glows white on the ounta tonight……

The song of the snow elves sounded, and snowflakes fell from the sky.

"Who's casting the spell?" Sherlock looked at Dumbledore.

In this place, without Dumbledore's permission, no one could mobilize so much magic at once.

Soon, he knew the answer.

As the snowflakes covered the stage, Star Hate Snow, who had been silent, slowly strolled to the center of the stage, and with the assistance of Sherabi's ice and snow spells, a snow dance full of snow country style was perfectly presented in front of everyone.

Everyone was amazed by the dancing and grace of Starhed Snow, and only Sherlock was alone.

said that the black history of the two of them together, how can you shine alone.

However, no matter how much he complained, Sherlock could no longer change the picture that was destined to remain in the history of the three schools.
