The college dance was grand and noisy, and as the process progressed normally, everyone entered the dance floor and danced with their companions.

Occasionally, there would be some loud cheers coming from the banquet hall, which meant that another important figure from a noble family had come to the banquet.

For those students who come from prestigious families, everyone at the graduation dance may become a future connection. They chat and greet those potential students and invite them to dance.

From the moment they entered the banquet hall, Tokieda Yume and Ikuru were busy dealing with this kind of social interaction. Every time they were found in the crowd, they were toasting and chatting with the people opposite them, unable to extricate themselves.

"I thought we'd be popular."

Ying and Ivy gathered in front of the dessert table in the corner to eat. She looked at the people talking and dancing, and felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness that she hadn't felt for a long time.

They can't fit in with these people.

Although the threshold for attending the dance is linked to strength, and they are strong elites in the first grade of junior high school, after entering the dance, the gap in strength is weakened and the gap in family background is highlighted.

They are just orphans with no background, and their fake family background is just ordinary.

“It’s good even if it’s inconspicuous.” Ivy handed her a delicious dessert.

Ying took the dessert again, somewhat unwillingly: "That's what I said...but this way I won't have the chance to show off my dancing skills."

She even spent a long time memorizing social etiquette and dance steps while walking her dog, which shows how dedicated she is.

Ivy glanced at her and casually suggested, "Then why don't you go dance with Yu Liu?"

"Ah?" Ying glanced at Yu Liu from a distance again, "But there are so many people around him. It would be embarrassing to be rejected! Avi and I should go dance."

"It's best to dance the first dance with someone of the opposite sex. I don't think he will reject you." Ivy pushed Ying again, "Go ahead."

Ying walked into the crowd again.

At this time, Yu Liu was surrounded by the crowd. Many people who wanted to cooperate and make friends with the Yu family took this opportunity to talk to Yu Liu and try to get useful information.

Seeing Ying approaching casually again, Yu Liu squeezed out of the crowd and walked in front of her as if he had seen a savior.

"You..." Yu Liu didn't know what to say for a moment. There was a group of flatterers behind him, and he was thinking about a decent and unpretentious way to leave.

Ying lifted her skirt slightly and gave an elegant greeting: "Hey, gentleman, may I have the honor of dancing with you?"

She was smiling, and her delicate and lovely makeup looked extremely dazzling under the bright lights.

Yu Liu's heart was pounding, but he breathed a sigh of relief, showing a polite and sincere smile, and took her hand: "With great pleasure, beautiful lady."

……

When Ivy looked over again, Yu Liu and Ying had already entered the dance floor, dancing together to the soft and pleasant music.

They were immersed in the atmosphere of the dance party without realizing it.

Although they were all silently waiting for the Sage's Heart to appear, Wan Ye Xi had already begun to explore the structure of the banquet hall, and through dancing with her partner, she judged the possible angles of each position.

Wan Ye Xi's true strength is already infinitely close to the [Sixth Level], which is an extremely rare magical talent for a student who is only a freshman in high school. Coupled with her cheerfulness and talkativeness shown at the dance, many guests from powerful forces have already extended olive branches to her in advance, hoping to recruit her after graduation and use her for their own purposes.

As it stands, it seems that only Evie is not enjoying the dance to the fullest.

She was worried about something else at the moment.

Where the hell was the guy responsible for restocking desserts?

Looking at the plate of snacks that she had eaten up, Ivy licked the corner of her lips and wanted to eat more.

"Beautiful lady, may I ask you to dance with me?"

As if seeing that she was alone, a man walked over and invited her.

When they looked up, they saw that this person was the guy who had won the first place in the exam twice in a row in the same grade. He had also tried to snatch their Piranha Plant before, but was finally beaten away.

Ivy's mind went blank.

She vaguely remembered that according to social etiquette, one should not easily refuse an invitation to a dance, and if one had to refuse, one should express it as tactfully as possible.

Euphemism, euphemism...

“Declined…” Ivy hid behind the dessert table while holding a small cake in her hand, with cream on her fingers.

The top student in the grade seemed to have not expected that he would be rejected. He stood there in a daze. After a moment, he was so angry that his face turned blue.

"Student Ivy, what do you mean by this?" He was overwhelmed.

Even though he had politely declined, the other party still got angry, and Ivy found it difficult to cope.

"Want some cake?" Ivy tried to get away with it by playing dumb.

But playing dumb won't save the other person from losing face.

"Declined." The other party followed her example and refused the cake request.

It does sound weird.

“Forget it if you don’t want to eat it…” Ivy was a little embarrassed.

But the other party didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and the two of them remained deadlocked there for a long time without moving.

Ivy suddenly felt that the cake in his hand didn't taste good.

"Student Ivy, do you think I am unworthy of standing here?" the other party suddenly asked.

His tone sounded angry and self-deprecating.

but……

"No." Ivy shook her head honestly.

She didn't care about this man's family background at all, and didn't even want to know his name.

She just didn't want to dance.

"Why is that?" the other party kept pestering.

"Well……"

Ivy was too lazy to deal with it and could not help but become dazed.

Suddenly, a mask was put on her face.

"Why did you forget the mask?" Pukulia's voice came from above his head.

Ivy looked up and saw that Pukulia was wearing a gorgeous and exquisite black half-face mask, which looked full of mystery. The mask she put on Ivy was also a half-face mask, which did not completely cover her face, but also brought an aura of keeping strangers away.

Wearing a mask at a college dance means avoiding social interaction.

The top student in the grade suddenly looked embarrassed. He bowed slightly, said hello, teacher, and fled the scene.

"Want some cake?" Ivy handed the cake that the top student in the grade didn't want to eat to Pukulia.

"Ok?"

Ivy couldn't see what expression Pukuria had through the mask, but she felt that she was about to be beaten.

As expected, Pukulia punched Ivy on the top of the head, making a dull sound.

"This is the last time I will help you." Pukulia said suddenly.

Ivy was stunned for a moment.

"So, if there is anything else you want, tell me as soon as possible."

"There will be no chance in the future."

Pukulia smiled and rubbed her head again.
