As night falls and the stars twinkle, the school playground is decorated with lights, diamonds, and flowers. On the main stage, a masked singer is singing passionately, with music technicians assisting with the soundtrack. The open space in the middle is a dance floor filled with stars. The surroundings turned into open-air bars and buffet tables. Students in costumes and masks shuttled among them, dancing, talking, playing, or eating wildly. The energetic and youthful atmosphere filled the entire school with the flowing notes.
July and August are the self-study summer vacations for various colleges and universities, and they are also the period for various inter-school entertainment activities. The "Dream Summer Country Madness Festival" at Locus University, the "Scarlet Theater" at Ark University, and the "Great Debate" at Jinri University , Phantom University's "Campus Singer" and other activities that can help students relax are concentrated in these two months.
Among them, the most anticipated one is the "Dance of Swords and Dragons" masquerade at Jianhua University!
These activities are all cross-campus activities open to all college students, and Jianhua University is famous for its students who are the most beautiful in Kalashi. Their family backgrounds are either rich or noble, and there is a strong love atmosphere on campus, so there is a masquerade party every year. Countless students from other schools flock to Jianhua University to see if there is a chance to turn a new page in their youth love stories. Even students from Jinhua University are no exception. In fact, the ratio of inter-campus love couples between Jinhua University and Jianhua University is, Far higher than what is digested within the University of Truth...
Although there are many students who are determined to do "I want to do the test instead of falling in love", the lack of course pressure in July and August will inevitably make students uneasy; and the approach of the Masquerade will directly increase the estrus rate of all Galaxian college students, even if You are a ruthless person who can accidentally complete a few math papers, and it is easy for you to follow the passion of love.
Many truth students with strict family backgrounds and devoted themselves to studying magic were accidentally manipulated by people from outside the school just because they came to a masquerade ball. They were confused and determined for life, regardless of gender.
According to completely unreliable statistics, the number of couples who are successfully matched at the masquerade every year reaches four figures. Even if 70% of them break up within a month, it is enough to make the young girls who love Huai Chun look forward to it.
However, even though the Sword Flower students had anticipated how popular the masquerade would be, they still did not expect that there would be so many people tonight, as if half of the college students in Galaxian had squeezed in.
Everyone knows why there are so many people this year.
"Why are there so many redheads?"
Outside the dance floor, a young man in a wolf suit wearing a mask was stunned.
Among the three girls who walked in front of him, one had red hair. Although there were various differences such as pink, wine, crimson, and short hair, medium hair, broken hair, ponytail, etc., the number of red-haired girls Isn’t that too much!?
"Brother, this is normal."
At the bar, a female bartender was mixing drinks with fancy gestures, and said with a smile: "When "Cunzhou Wanbian" was aired, at least eight of the ten young girls you saw when you went out to Jialashi They all have the same hairstyle as Deida Rose. Now that the red-haired Swordswoman is making a big splash in Meteor Tribulation, why should everyone follow suit and dye their hair red?"
The young man in the wolf suit looked over and found that the female bartender also had a strand of red hair, so he reluctantly took the cocktail.
"But there are so many red-haired girls now, even if Miss Sword Princess appears in front of me, I can't tell them apart...
Alas!"
He felt so sour after taking a sip of the cocktail. He wanted to curse, but seeing that the bartender was cute and pretty, he held back his anger and said, "What I want is Holiday Storm. What is this?"
"Ah, I'm sorry." The female bartender took out a notebook and looked at it: "Let me take a look, no wonder.
It turns out that I misremembered and accidentally added bitter vinegar. I will look at my notebook and make you the correct cup.
"Did you actually learn it on the spot?!"
"There are too many people tonight. I was just temporarily recruited to work part-time." The female bartender mumbled, "Who told me that I failed the final exam..."
The young man in the wolf suit blinked and suddenly felt that the bartender was quite cute. His cheeks were fleshy and red like red apples, which perfectly hit his strike zone. So he coughed and said in a magnetic voice:
"Then lovely lady, can I invite you to dance later?"
"Thank you!" the bartender said crisply: "But no, I have a fiancé."
"Can't you dance if you have a fiancé? Just enjoy the fun of dancing." The young man in wolf suit persuaded. If you just want to dance, then I can also dance with my roommate. Why do I have to dance with the opposite sex? "The bartender said.
He smiled and said: "And you are not my type either."
"Then what type do you like?"
"My fiancé's type."
"Why do all the girls I like have their wives!?" The young man in wolf suit looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's okay if my pursuit fails, why do all the girls already have someone they like! Am I destined to be the kind of person who seduce married women?
The type of wife!?"
"I have two single roommates who are also very beautiful, although not as good as me. When they come over later, can I introduce them to you?"
"No." The young man in wolf suit firmly refused: "I don't like this kind of encounter that is too introductory. What I pursue is the kind of inadvertent heartbeat."
The bartender put it bluntly: "But aren't you here for the red-haired swordswoman?"
"Yes, when I watched the finals of Meteor Tribulation, I was moved by Sword Girl's strong and unyielding posture." The young man in wolf suit turned to look at the playground, "I was also thinking about whether I could meet her by chance at the masquerade party, and then rely on
Win her heart with charm, and even if it doesn’t work, you’ll be friends with her first… But who can recognize her! Even the singers on the stage have red hair!”
"I thought you were just here for fun." The bartender looked at the young man in the wolf costume with a strange look: "Isn't your wild costume used to cancel your right to choose a mate?"
"I heard that the person Sword Princess likes is not a Jianhua student. I thought that she might not like the extravagant and gorgeous style of Jianhua University, so she specially dressed up as a werewolf swordsman." The young man in the wolf suit held his chin up and said in a pretentious tone:
"Do you see a lion hiding in my eyes?" He hasn't given up on hooking up with the bartender yet.
"Honestly, I think you're quite cute." The bartender wiped the glass while suppressing a smile: "You look like a big fluffy dog. Sword Princess might like it.
"give up."
Next to the bar, another young man wearing a golden mask said: "Don't you know that Lelouch confessed his love to Sword Girl a few days ago?"
"LeRouche? LeRouche Varudo?" The young man in wolf suit said in surprise: "The eldest son of Earl Xu Xing? The swordsmanship genius second only to Di Mi at the University of Truth?"
But among the Guards nobility, although the five Dukes known as the ‘Five Pillars of Stars’ are undoubtedly at the top of the nobility,
But it is not that no one can come close to their status. In recent years, five earls who have taken advantage of the technological revolution to rise are called the "Little Five Pillars" to describe their power that can vaguely compete with the Five Pillars.
Count Varudo of Virtual Star is one of them. Their family owns five major virtual game chambers, accounting for 80% of the national game market share. They are also constantly expanding and recruiting talents. Almost every young person has played their games.
.Whether it is social influence, the number of talent positions provided, or annual income,
The Earl of Xu Xing is not inferior to the old Duke. "Xu Xing Game Plan" has become the childhood of countless young people.
As the eldest son of Earl Xuxing, Lelouch was not only a genius in swordsmanship, but also a genius in swordsmanship. He had perfected his wings in the third year of the University of Truth. He used to be regarded as Dimi's competitor. Of course, no one says that now.
But no matter what, Lelouch is the highest-ranking noble son. If he openly pursues the red-haired swordswoman, the others will basically have to withdraw quietly.
"The news of Lelouch's confession to Sword Girl has been the hottest topic these days, but you don't know?" Golden Mask said with a smile: "He didn't confess to Sword Girl quietly, but had a scene in the swordsmanship club.
A grand performance, with roses covering the ground and fireworks covering the sky... By the way, Lelouch also met the Swordswoman in the swordsmanship club."
During the summer vacation, combat masters often do not work behind closed doors, but participate in various clubs for competitive discussions. A lower-level club may be a few students renting a classroom, while a higher-level club is basically led by professors.
Formation.
Even the Sword Girl and Lelouch are members of the club, it must be the highest level swordsmanship club, and it doesn’t even need to have a name. Only the weak will think that ‘I am a member of Club X’, and I and XX are the same club.
Rong, for talented magicians like them, the club is just an ordinary place for competition and training.
"I don't know. I was taken to the easternmost village by the old man for half a month. He also said that he would let me gain experience. In the end, I fed mosquitoes for half a month. I just came back yesterday. What happened to me in Jialashi?
I don’t know at all!” The young man in wolf suit wailed: “Sword Lady, will she agree? Sword Lady, my Sword Lady
"That's not true."
"fine."
"But Lelouch added: "I know your heart belongs to you, but even if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends. I'm not your first good friend, but I hope that I can be your most important and most capable person.
Someone who will help you. The road to swordsmanship is long and lonely. We can compete with each other and communicate with each other. Although I am not as strong as Dimi now, I will catch up soon."
"This guy has no good intentions at all and plans to slowly seduce Jian Ji in the name of ordinary dating!" The young man in wolf suit was filled with indignation: "With his words and methods, he looks like a veteran of Hua Cong. Jian Ji should break off the relationship with him on the spot.
!How does Sword Princess answer?"
The bartender raised his eyebrows - who said just now that if you don't succeed in pursuing Sword Girl, you should be friends first...
"Sword Lady's answer may sound familiar to you."
"Um?"
"She said: "If I need a competitor, Senior Sister Leonie and Sister Trozan can give me enough pressure, why should I have to date the opposite sex? Lelouch, I don't dislike you for not being a saint, it's a fact
No matter who it is, even if it is Dimi who asks me for a private relationship, I will not agree to it. You don’t have to belittle yourself.”
At this point, Jin Mask sighed: "If they express their feelings, they will express their feelings, and if they refuse, they will refuse. Why do they have to pull Di Mi out and beat her."
"Okay!" The young man in wolf suit clapped the table and applauded: "As expected of the Sword Lady, she saw through the plot of this villain Lelouch at a glance, and answered politely and appropriately! Wait a minute, these words do sound familiar...
He turned his head and looked at the bartender: "It's similar to what you said when you rejected me just now."
The bartender blinked: "This shows that I am as discerning as Sword Lady."
"Moreover, haven't you investigated the character of Sword Girl?" Jin Mask added: "She is obsessed with swordsmanship. Except for acting and recording work, she does not participate in other social activities. It is said that she is invited to many noble banquets.
I asked her to attend, but she refused them all. How could she show up at a time-wasting social occasion like a masquerade? Maybe she has gone to explore the virtual world now."
"I haven't investigated it." The young man in wolf costume scratched his head: "I thought that as long as I was sincere enough, I could impress others.
"It's just like the rumors." Jin Mask smiled and said: "Lan Shile, you are a sincere son."
"Seeing as you speak so nicely, I will assume that you are not saying that I am stupid...wait a minute." The young man in wolf suit suddenly reacted: "I never said my name, did I? Who are you? My admirer? Or...
Admirer?"
"In the past half month, only your father has been to the east for research." Golden Mask shrugged: "I just guessed it by chance."
The young man in the wolf suit sighed: "You actually pay attention to my old man, how perverted. Are you a prophecy magician? Otherwise, how could you know so much about Lelouch's confession to Sword Lady?"
Golden Mask: "Because I was watching at the scene."
"I prove it," the bartender said with a smile, "I am the roses on the floor."
The young man in wolf suit took a sip of the cocktail he had just made. Although it didn't taste very good, he endured it.
In front of him were all kinds of men and women on the dance floor who were hunting each other, and in his ears was the gentle and eternal singing. He thought for a long time,
He turned to them and asked: "How can I make Sword Lady like me?"
The bartender asked seriously: "If I knew the answer, what price could I sell it for?"
The golden mask thought for a while: "It's probably a property worth the same as the four-winged magic spirit."
"So much!" The assistant bartender looked at the young man in the wolf suit: "Can you pay the deposit first?"
"I'm not joking!" The young man in wolf suit said seriously: "At least give me a direction to work towards?"
"At least, don't put roses on the floor when you confess your love." The bartender said: "According to the gossip, Sword Princess likes tulips."
"Also, she should like swordsmen." Jin Mask said: "Lan Shile, you don't seem to be majoring in the swordsmanship faction, right?"
The young man in wolf costume said: "It's not like you're looking for a job, so how can there be any magic restrictions on dating? I don't accept it! Is there any news about Jian Ji's sweetheart? I want to know what type she likes!"
Golden Mask smiled and said: "The question "Who does Sword Princess like?" will probably become an unsolved mystery for countless people during their college years."
"I feel that even if strength is not the decisive factor, it is still an important factor.
The bartender finally gave serious advice: "After all, Sword Lady will definitely hit the legendary realm in the future, so her partner should at least be able to keep up with her."
"Impact Legend? Is she worthy?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw two people passing by the bar. The tall man was wearing a black tiger mask, and the petite and exquisite woman was wearing a butterfly mask. The speaker was none other than Butterfly Mask.
The golden mask seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "You seem to be questioning the value of Half-Year Sanctuary?"
"It's because she has been in the Sanctuary for half a year." Butterfly Mask said unceremoniously: "She has no combat experience or accumulation of spells. She is just a vase with empty levels.
"She can cheat to climb to the other side of the sky, how can she still walk up the Ruby Mountain?".
