[Ballet Elite] Rondo of Dreams

"Masumi, you are here." Uncle greeted me happily, "Come sit down and talk."

"Thank you uncle."

"You're welcome. I've discussed it with the president and the directors. Everyone has agreed to use two protagonists on the last day of the performance. From the first act to the third scene of the second act, Liliana will dance. From the second act It's up to you to dance from the fourth act to the third act!"

"A third act too?"

"Yes, that's the best part of the ugly duckling turning into a swan!"

"Thank you, I will do my best!" The transformation scene, the part Liliana skipped in the ballet competition, and the third act, the dreamy classical ballet pas de deux.

"Well, the rest is the problem of the partner..."

I was suddenly surprised, "Isn't it Teacher Serkeyev?"

"No, I think, since there are two protagonists, it's better to have separate partners! We initially decided to let Aoi be your partner, what do you think? A partner with a tacit understanding is the most ideal, but you don't have a specific partner candidate , let him be your partner!"

"Please, please wait..."

"What's the matter? Do you have anyone you want to recommend?"

"No, I think," my hands began to tremble, but, with such a long-standing wish, "I want... to dance with Teacher Serkeyev!"

"But……"

"Uncle, I want to dance with Teacher Serkeyev!" Once again, I repeated firmly!

"Well, if you think this is better, I will discuss it with Alex again!" the uncle sighed.

"Thank you, thank you!"

With anticipation and longing, what we waited for came, but it was not good news...

"You mean, Teacher Serkeyev refused to dance with me?" The body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave in an instant. It was so cold, without any feeling of warmth, so cold...

"Yes, Masumi, so you can consider other candidates..." Uncle also looked embarrassed.

"let me……"

"what?"

"Let me talk to the teacher, please?"

"...well, if you insist. He should be in the practice room by now..."

"Masumi?" The teacher looked at me a little strangely, "Is there something wrong?"

"Teacher, can I trouble you to come out for a while? I have something to tell you." Masumi, don't, don't cry, talk to the teacher, there must be a reason for the teacher, there must be...

"What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?" Under the tree outside the practice room, the sun was shining brightly, but it seemed that it couldn't shine into my heart.

"No," I shook my head, letting him touch my forehead, and avoiding his worried gaze, "I'm not uncomfortable. Teacher, I heard from my uncle that you don't want to dance with me?"

"No. However, since there are two protagonists, it's better for the two to work separately!" The teacher's voice sounded above his head.

I lowered my head and clenched my hands into fists to stop the trembling, "That's not a reason!"

"Masumi!"

"That's not a reason! I want to know why?!"

"Of course that is the reason. Besides, there is someone who is very suitable for you, and he has come to Japan!"

"Who?!"

"Ren Kleist! I've seen you dance "Afternoon of the Faun". His dance suits you very well."

"Ren?" I raised my head suddenly and looked into his eyes, "But, I don't want to dance with Ren, I want to dance with you, teacher!"

"Masumi!"

"I want to dance with you, teacher!" I repeated again, looking into his eyes with fixed eyes!

"Masumi! Don't be willful!" This time, the teacher changed to avoid my eyes.

"I'm not self-willed!" What surged in my heart was surging emotions, rising and falling, almost uncontrollable, "I just, just want to dance with you, teacher!" Isn't that all right?

"Why? Why do you have to dance with me?!" Teacher Serkeyev, always calm and self-possessed, it was the first time I saw him about to lose control.

"Why? Why? Why?!" I held my head, stepped back step by step, and my head was already in a mess, "Because I like you, I like you! So, I want to dance with you!" No, I don't want to be here It was said at this time, but the teacher was not the only one who was forced out of control!

"What did you say?!" Finally, I got my wish and saw the teacher panicked, but I was not happy to see it.

"Because, I like you, I like you, I like you! I like you! Alex Serkeyev! I like you!!"

A sound, a sentence, contains the strongest feelings, the most passionate love!

My love for you deepens bit by bit!You must not know how long I have been waiting, spring, summer, autumn, winter... How long have I been waiting for you to come back to me!

So many entanglements of love, so many longings...

Can't let it go, and can't forget it!

You must not know, don't know...

"Masumi..." Mr. Serkeyev opened his eyes wide and looked at me in disbelief, as if I had said something frightening.

"Woo..." Even if I covered my mouth, I couldn't stop the crying sound that flowed out. I want to tell you, I want to tell you personally, but what I want to see is not such a reaction!

"Macheng!" The teacher stretched out his hand, but for some reason, his hand trembled a little.

I was startled suddenly, and when I came back to my senses, I turned around and wanted to run.After running a few steps, I fell into a warm embrace!

"Let me go, let me go!" Struggling wildly, I didn't want to hear any words of rejection.

"Calm down, listen to me, listen to me!"

Unable to break free, unable to struggle, I slowly relaxed my body, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu......"

"Masumi, hear me." The teacher's words can be heard all the time in my ear, "The relationship between us is not what you think. Ever since I taught you in Japan, there has always been a deep attraction between us. But, that's not love!"

"What's that?!" Because the teacher was behind me and couldn't see my expression, I could cry as much as I wanted without worrying about how ugly it was!

"I don't know, but that is something much deeper than love, friendship, and family affection obtained through ballet! Do you understand?"

Yes, I get it!

I should answer this way, this is the most correct answer at this time, as long as I answer it that way.From now on, the teacher will always be the teacher who cares about me the most and loves me the most...

But, but!

I stopped, and then suddenly exerted force to push the teacher away.

"Masumi?!"

"If you don't like it, just say you don't like it. If you refuse, just say you don't like it! Teacher, just say that!" This time, I don't want to hear any other words, I just want to find someone place, have a good cry.
