Chapter 145 Silver Xiuer's Dance Steps
Today, we'll expand our knowledge on "domestic affairs."
During the first class in the afternoon, Silver Hugh was in a classroom at Queen's College, holding the notice that Principal Richman had just handed to her, and paused in surprise.
"Well, before that, we need to find out which students will be going to the dance tonight."
"Ah, a dance party to promote duos? I almost forgot..."
Latis looked thoughtful, glanced at the other students who were raising their hands, and after thinking for a moment, he also raised his hand.
"Looking at the pretty girls at the ball is secondary; I mainly want to see if the principals will announce anything..."
"Is everyone going?" Silver Hugh adjusted his monocle and reported the result to the principal via the beacon network. After waiting a moment, he stared blankly at the reply in the beacon.
"Uh... the principal said that this class will be held in the auditorium, and I will teach everyone how to dance the common people's dance steps..."
Silver Hugh inwardly groaned, sighed, and put away the magic notebook.
……
"First, boys, learn the men's dance steps with me."
Yin Xiuer forced a smile, suppressing her lifeless demeanor from her public performance, secretly determined to get a raise from the principal. She asked, "..."
"Which female student would like to accompany me and give a demonstration?"
"Me, me, me, Teacher Yin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a noblewoman with long, golden hair rushed forward and put her hand on Silver Xiuer's shoulder with a smile.
Yin Xiu'er's body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously took a step back, then nodded and said:
"Miss Lien Fister, the eldest daughter of the Fister family of Siyuanhua Castle, thank you for your help."
“It would be my honor.” Lyon looked at Silver’s exquisite face with burning eyes and said in a low voice, “If Teacher Silver has time on Sunday, could you come to my house and teach me these dance steps privately? I’m a bit slow-witted and need more private instruction.”
"Sunday? That's my only day off! I don't want to work on this day..."
Dressed in men's clothing, Silver Hugh's mind raced with this thought. He shook his head slightly, ignoring Lyon's disappointed gaze, and, holding her hand, addressed everyone:
"Commoners' dance steps are not as refined and precise as those of nobles. They are usually rougher, but also more lively and varied. Next, I will demonstrate a few men's dance steps and their variations. Miss Lien, you just need to follow my steps."
……
……
Silently dodging Lyon's groping attempts, Silver Hugh struggled to complete the dance demonstration.
"Miss Lien, I believe you are all good children, but as nobles, you inevitably have your share of quirks... Ah, now it's time to demonstrate the ladies' dance steps..."
She looked at Lyon, who had returned to the group with a regretful expression, sighed, and said with a pale face:
"Next... the teacher will demonstrate the ladies' dance steps. Compared to aristocratic steps, the commoners' ladies' steps are more powerful, without the tedious, delicate steps that emphasize beauty. They are more passionate and expansive, thus making them much more difficult. Please, male student, assist me in the demonstration..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Xiuer saw several male classmates raise their hands. Her gaze swept over them, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"The eldest son of the Marquis of Perrotta, the third son of the Marquis of Hector, the eldest son of the Earl of Wilkins... all are nobles in the capital. I heard that the power structure in the capital changed recently, I wonder..."
She glanced around at the boys' group, then her eyes lit up and she looked at Latis.
……
"I feel like I'm being targeted by the teacher's chalk..."
Latis shuddered and continued looking at the magic network prompt.
[During your absence, your spell "Slip of the Mage" was used 1038 times, and your spell "Black Hand of the Mage" was used 748 times.]
"It seems the 'Mage's Accidental Touch' has reached its limit in terms of growth. That makes sense; after reading these two chapters, unless you're just looking to slack off in the discussion area, no one else will use it again… However, 'Mage's Black Hand' seems quite useful, so perhaps the subsequent growth will be quite impressive."
[Classes: Level 3 Mage 8%, Level 4 Warrior 10%, Level 3 Alchemist 0%]
He glanced at his level progress, did some silent calculations, and his face lit up with joy.
"Good, very good! The speed has increased considerably; I estimate it will take about a month to reach the fourth ring road!"
Just as he was beginning to think about what direction to research for his next technique, a warm voice entered his ears.
"Latis, could you help me demonstrate the ladies' dance steps?"
Latis paused, looking up at SilverShul, only to see her wink at him. Latis scratched his head and grinned.
"Okay, Ms. Yin!"
He excitedly stepped out of the group, but after only a few steps, he suddenly heard a low murmur of discussion behind him.
"Isn't this the guy without a surname?"
"Last time we couldn't find out anything about his background, we only heard that he was specially recruited by the academy, is that...?"
“No, Silver Hugh is a key figure, we need to acquire him, as this guy is just one we need to eliminate.”
"Well, his presence or absence doesn't matter. Just get rid of him from Silver Shul's side."
"learn……"
Latis stopped, glanced back at the several noblemen with sinister expressions, then at Teacher Yin who was shaking her head slightly and whose eyes were darting around, stroked her chin, sighed, and continued walking forward.
"On someone's set, you suspicious villains wouldn't last an episode... but let's delay the gratification for now."
He calmly took Yin Xiu'er's hand, looking at her surprised eyes. Just as he was about to comfort her, she took his hand in return and whispered:
“Little La, the noble factions in the capital are complex. Your background is clean, so they won't pay much attention to you. However, this will bring you into the capital's sights, which isn't necessarily a bad thing... In any case, I already planned to recommend you to the Queen's Academy. And the unspoken rule in the capital is that newcomers must have both a background and enemies. These people, as your enemies, are at least safer…”
Latis paused, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat. He looked at Teacher Yin, whose head was still spinning rapidly and whose face was slightly feverish, with a wry smile, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"Ms. Yin, you really think highly of me! You start thinking about the future just from encountering a random situation..."
He thought for a moment, then suddenly grinned and, to the astonishment of the others, wrapped a paw around Silver Hugh's waist.
"Huh, huh?" Silver Xiuer paused, then whispered:
"Little La, it's okay. You just need to follow my steps..."
"I know, but I've already learned all the dance steps that Teacher Yin just taught me." With the powerful physical abilities of a warrior, Latis confidently pinched Yin Xiu'er's slender waist, and under her surprised gaze, he took cheerful steps like a man and lifted her into the air, leaping through a perfect arc.
blah blah blah!
Silvershrew subconsciously followed his rhythm, turning left and right two and a half circles before stopping on his toes and turning back to look at Latis's confident face, following the hand that had been held.
She felt a slight heat rising to her forehead, as if the tension she had felt earlier was gradually transforming into another kind of tension. With her heart pounding in sync with her movements, she took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and looked at Latis with a questioning gaze.
"Teacher Yin, leave it to me!"
Latis nodded in response to her gaze, then chuckled, glanced around at the students watching, habitually flashed a grin, and suddenly grabbed Teacher Yin's slender wrist.
Caught off guard, Silver had no choice but to adopt a variation of the lady's dance step, changing the original movement of crossing a semicircle in the air into a movement of jumping into the man's arms and rotating in a semicircle by himself.
As their clothes rubbed together, she felt a burning heat emanating from her chest, waist, and abdomen, which were pressed against Latis's. Her breathing quickened instantly, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around Latis's neck.
The fact that the two had not separated meant that Silver's lady dance steps had not returned to the normal trajectory, but were still in a variation. She came to her senses and remembered the difficult gentleman dance steps that followed. Just as she was about to hurriedly stop Latis's movements, she was shocked to find that he had already started to spin her around.
"Don't worry about it, Ms. Yin."
Latis's voice rang in her ears again. Silvers sighed slightly and reluctantly handed over control of her body to him. It was a dangerous thing to try to take the lead in the middle of the dance, especially in such a passionate dance. If the rhythms clashed, it could easily lead to injury for both of them.
A large, hot hand pressed against her waist again. Silver Xiuer's body tensed for a moment, then relaxed and pressed her waist tightly against the hand.
With Latis pushing him, Silver Hugh spun around him once, and then, out of control, fell straight to the ground on his back.
She tensed her body, resisting the urge to use magic to protect herself. Finally, just as she was about to hit the ground, a hand protected her back.
As the fall came to an end, Silver Shul tightly closed her eyes. Only after realizing the momentum had ended did she belatedly open them and, following the subsequent dance steps, reach out and wrap her arms around Latis's neck.
During the curtain call, as she was lifted up by the waist with both hands, Silver Shul looked at Latis's face, which was so close to hers, and suddenly paused for a moment. She was panting heavily, and her braid came undone during the vigorous movement, falling out of her collar and landing next to Latis's ear.
A strange feeling suddenly made Silver Hugh blush slightly. She struggled for a moment, but Latis's hands held her waist even tighter. The warmth at the point of contact brought a surge of emotion to her heart. She bit her lip, wondering what was wrong with her.
"Teacher Yin, aren't I amazing?"
Latis chuckled, feeling tickled by Teacher Yin's hair, and gently put her down with his hands.
The moment she landed, Latis suddenly saw a bewildered determination in Silvershur's eyes. Then he felt a touch of warmth on his cheek, but before he could savor it, it was gone.
He paused, looked at Yin Xiuer who was hurriedly braiding her hair and turned her face away, and touched his own cheek.
That trace of warmth was rapidly fading, yet it still lingered, a warmth that was also cautious, as if afraid of being recognized, so it was hidden in the tingling sensation of hair touching.
"But, Ms. Yin, your reaction completely betrayed you..."
Latis chuckled, looked at Teacher Yin who had already begun explaining the details of the dance steps, walked over, and placed his hand on her shoulder.
SilverShull shuddered, then slowly relaxed and took a step toward Latis so that his hands wouldn't get sore so easily.
Before get out of class ended, she shrugged her shoulders, tilted her head, and rubbed her ear against Latis's hand.
……
……
"Teacher Yin runs so fast! Is this the speed of a sixth-ring mage? That's incredible!"
Latis looked at the darkening sky, sighed, and walked into the Bogu Academy.
"I didn't want to teach three classes a day, but when I went to find Ms. Yin after class, she ran away as fast as she could! What kind of teacher avoids their students?!"
He walked into the classroom helplessly, glanced at the bag on the teacher's desk, looked around, but couldn't find Teacher Yin.
"Oh no, is she planning to slack off using the auto-recorded magic notes? Damn it, I never realized she was this timid before..."
Latis glanced around the classroom, focusing his attention on a group of students who were chatting animatedly. After a moment's thought, he walked over.
"I heard the team leader for the new project is from our class?"
"It's hard to say, it's also possible that the principal personally gave him special treatment."
"I heard she's a very young and beautiful girl?"
"A beautiful girl, you can look at her a hundred times and she'll never be yours, but a textbook..."
"Alright, alright, maybe she'll choose an assistant from our class?"
"Come on, we're not related to her at all. She'll probably just pick a girl..."
"Ahem." Latis interrupted their conversation, scratching his head as he asked, "Brothers, have you seen Teacher Yin?"
