Chapter 127: The Ball After the Opening Ceremony
After the opening ceremony of the school hunting party, on Thursday evening, Jiuyou College arranged a grand hunting dance party on the square by Linzhong Lake. Young professors from the school, special guests from outside the school, and hundreds of participating hunters will attend the closing ceremony of the opening ceremony.
As a state-funded student of Jiuyou Academy and the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin in the past two decades, Zheng Qing originally received an invitation to the ball.
But he eventually passed up the opportunity.
Because his dance partner, the charming gypsy witch, was once again nowhere to be found.
However, to the relief of our scholarship students, this time Elena flew a paper crane for him, and apologized for not being able to attend the dance party in the evening.
The letter was accompanied by a few rare rubbings of ancient runes - perhaps the gypsy witch thought that these magical gifts would soothe the hearts of the young scholars.
"There are very strong traces of runivin in these rubbings...... This is a type of rune often used by wizards in ancient Scandinavia. The young student held a magnifying glass in one hand, lowered his head, and carefully observed the symbols on the rubbings, while explaining to the rest of the dormitory.
It's as if other people care about the obscure symbols.
No one paid any attention to him.
Zheng Qing finally put down the magnifying glass in his hand.
He reached for the pocket watch in his pocket and glanced at the ticking time in the dial.
It's half past six in the evening, and there's still an hour before the dance begins.
"Excuse me, help me pull the belt on my back...... The back seems to be wrinkled. Xin Fat Man hugged his stomach, walked in front of Zheng Qing, turned around, and asked in a chattering voice: "Are you really not going to go tonight?" This is the first dance party we have held since we entered school, and I heard that tonight's guests also have a group of soft and cute fox girls!"
Xin Fatzi got an invitation to the dance as a member of the editorial department of the school newspaper. When he triumphantly slapped the invitation on his desk, the other three people in the dorm silently took out the same invitation and shook it in front of his nose - Dylan even took out two invitations.
This greatly frustrated the fat man.
Fortunately, a wide heart and a fat body are a sufficient and necessary condition, and the mentality of fat people can always adjust back to the best state in a short time.
"Where did the fox girl come from," Zheng Qing asked with a wrinkled nose while helping him smooth out the folds on his belt, "I thought that today's dance party was full of more formal guests......
"They're just very formal guests. Xiao Xiao said slowly: "If you don't guess wrong, those fox girls should be the maids or juniors brought by Su Shijun...... Qingqiu Su's pomp has always been very big. ”
"Bingo!, but there are no prizes. The fat man snapped his fingers, shook his shoulders with a bang, kicked and stomped on his feet, slid around the dormitory, and muttered: "But I got the news from the editorial department that Su Shijun will not attend tonight's ball, she seems to be visiting some relatives and friends in Beta Town......"
The orange cat, who had been resting at his desk, was woken up by the sound of the fat man's crackling footsteps, and let out an irritable threatening sound.
The elves flew around in mid-air, floating in front of each of the changing wizards, curiously looking at their different makeups.
"Can you make them quiet for a while, the powder on my face is going to be blown out by their wings. Dylan whispered not far away.
"As a male witch, can you not say it so openly and justifiably!" Zheng Qing sighed heavily and waved his hand to recall his elves.
The elves did not have the slightest resentment of being expelled, but screamed awkwardly, flapped their wings happily, and fell back on Zheng Qing's body.
And, of course, a few bold elves landed right among the orange cat's fur.
Tuan Tuan shook the tip of his tail, not minding these interruptions, but snoring happily, welcoming his new tenants.
“...... So, are you really not going to go today?" Hearing Zheng Qing's 'unfair' comment, Dylan immediately pulled the topic to the sore spot of the publicly-funded students, and emphasized: "You know, the hunting ball is not open if you want to......"
"But now it's Moon Hunting. Zheng Qing picked up a newspaper from his desk and trembled: "I checked the moon hunting schedule published in the school newspaper, and for the next four weeks, there will be a school-wide hunting dance party every weekend...... There will always be a chance. ”
"Beauty is always forgiven," Dylan summed up in a singing-like aria as he adjusted the wrinkles on his face as he smiled in the mirror, dressed in his crispy new robe, "Ah...... Beautiful, how invincible ...... beauty."
Zheng Qing glanced at him enviously.
Dylan also received invitations to the prom, and in two – it was related to his name.
Dylan O'Brien Tarbot, both the O'Brien and the Tapote, are well qualified to get an invitation.
But Dylan has only one, and he doesn't belong to either O'Brien or Tapote.
As the organizer of the ball, the student union of Jiuyou Academy would rather be a little troublesome than feel uncomfortable with this kind of issue involving the order of dignity and ownership, so they simply sent two invitations to Dylan, inviting his two surnames respectively.
It's lazy, but it's secure.
So from the moment after dinner, the vampire werewolf began to wander between his closet and the dressing mirror, trying on robes after robes, belt after belt, cufflinks after cufflinks.
He even applied a shiny powder to his two tiny fangs, which looked so gorgeous that every time he smiled, he felt like he was blinding.
"I don't know how to dance anyway, so I won't mix it up. Zheng Qing defended himself with a pale and weak reason.
"In that case, exactly. Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke up and said to the young public-funded student: "The Sin Hunting Team needs to arrange training matters as soon as possible...... Since you have some free time, then go to the office of the school committee in the evening and discuss the matter of borrowing the hunting ground with the wizard on duty. ”
"And the coach!" Fat Xin waved his fist vigorously and reminded: "Coach of the ruling hunting team, you have to remind that little sword senior, when will you open a small stove with us......
"That's right. Dylan also stopped being coquettish in front of the dressing mirror, turned his head, and asked excitedly: "I'm still the hunter of your hunting team! Should I let Hoffman guide me!
"One of the hunters!" Zheng Qing had to speak loudly, suppressing the suddenly chaotic atmosphere in the dormitory, and emphasized to Dylan: "You are just one of the hunters......!
"And you," Zheng Qing turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiao suspiciously: "I will naturally handle the affairs of the hunting team...... But one thing I've always wondered is, where did you get your invitation to tonight's ball, and how is the color of your invitation different from ours?"
Zheng Qing's prom invitations with Xin Fatzi, Dylan and others are all ordinary big red covers.
And Xiao Xiao's invitation is purple and black with a noble atmosphere.
"Oh, this...... It was Sima who gave it to me," Xiao Xiao lifted her glasses and said casually: "She was asked by the school to attend tonight's dance, but she couldn't find a dance partner, so she asked me for help......"
Dormitory 403 fell into a deathly silence.
