Steel steam and flame

Underneath those dignified and formal dresses are bodies as strong as steel machines. Roughly taking this dance as the boundary, these students are gradually leaving the category called "human beings".

After the waiters retreated, there were speeches from the two school principals. They are all people with half gray hair, but their speech does not seem lengthy or boring. Because everyone knows the purpose of this dance. And for the students standing in front of them, the people at the seminary had already heard enough of their words in the family, but the people at the military school had no intention of listening. They all have serious and serious faces, and there may be a look of expectation in their eyes. But these are obviously disguised. There are such courses in seminaries and military schools, about controlling facial muscles and simulating emotions in the eyes to achieve the purpose of deception.

So the speech ended at a very fast speed according to everyone's wishes, and then the music style from the band changed again, allowing people to naturally relax their physical and mental pressure and enjoy the fun of the dance easily. . There are many women, and there are not a few women with good looks. They are the most admired ones at the ball. The students from the two schools began to mingle slowly when the music started playing. Although there were still many frictions, the overall atmosphere was moving in a good direction.

As expected, Cassia and Selmer unknowingly moved to a less eye-catching position after speaking, as they had agreed upon in advance. In front of the long table covered with linen tablecloth are various kinds of delicacies arranged in an orderly manner, and of course the drinks and wine are also very complete. After pouring a drink each, the two of them began to hunt for the food at the dance in the helpless eyes of Ye Jielin and Atuohuan.

The dance went smoothly, and Cassia attributed much of it to the band. Although they don't know much about music, from the gentle melody that naturally lowers people's defensiveness, it can be seen that each of them is a very good musician.

Atuohuan quickly struck up a conversation with the other students. He is better at talking to different people than Ye Jielin. As the main person in charge of collecting intelligence in the minor league, he is not only outstanding in terms of force, but also has outstanding performance in other abilities. This is the best time for the alliance to develop its own power. Everyone is somewhat infected by the atmosphere of the dance, and their vigilance is much lower than usual. Even if you can't finalize something immediately, you can at least leave a good impression on the other party with a few words of conversation.

Needless to say, Ye Jielin's strength, appearance, background, sharp temperament that attracts people to conquer, elegant behavior and conversation, all shine at the dance, and these things are all in Ye Jielin. can be found. There are always a lot of people coming up to talk around, whether they are from the military school or the equally polite students from the seminary. She was one of those rare things at the ball that captivated everyone.

There are also several circles, which seem to be groups formed by the students themselves. They are a group of students with similar personalities and interests, centered around the student who only had a suppressor tube transplanted. Like Ye Jielin, she was not approached by others on her own initiative. Instead, they chose to talk to the people they wanted to befriend, many of whom were seminary students. As people who are likely to reach high positions in the future, building a good relationship in advance may have unexpected benefits for them after they graduate from military school. There is a struggle for power within every family, and their own network of relationships and interests outside the family will become the best boost in their competition with family members in the future.

And compared to people like Cassia and Selmer, who only focus on food, it can't be said that there are none at the dance, but it is indeed very rare. Almost everyone talks for a while before coming over for a bite to eat. Very few people can help but care about their future affairs. But don't worry, Atuohuan and Ye Jielin are doing these things. One is that Selmer is really intolerant, and the other is that Cassia's thoughts are not on the dance at all. He originally wanted to go over and have a few words with coach Bei, but he kept talking to another person, who seemed to be Himia, the head coach of the Second Three Star Academy. So I had to give up.

After turning the long table with food several times, Cassia secretly hid a few exquisite forks in her pockets when no one was paying attention. Originally, he wanted to find a sharp knife to take with him, but the target was a little obvious. There were not many knifes, so he couldn't just take it. He only had an ordinary revolver on him, so he thought he should prepare more handy weapons for himself.

So the time at the dance seemed to pass by slowly. After about half an hour, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and the people chatting with each other were changing in waves. Everyone was looking among the many people in the hall. People who have the same interests as yourself. They tried to do the same thing, but everyone had no interest in Cassia, and they all politely declined his invitation to talk. So after that, they could only focus more on food. After eating for more than ten minutes, Cassia and Selmer felt that their stomachs were a little full.

During this period, their eyes were certainly not full of food. Some people naturally become the same gathering points in the dance, and of course they will pay more attention to them. There are some familiar faces inside, including women like Li Lisi and Iyeta who are as good as Ye Jielin, and there are also men like Flower who are good at talking. They all have deep and huge backgrounds, and they all belong to one of the four forces, otherwise there would be far fewer people talking to them.

On the seminary side, there are also outstanding people. The most attractive person is a woman, and they have a greater chance of being the center of attention at the ball. It was also an evening dress tailor-made for her by an excellent tailor and designer. It gave people a gentler feeling and did not have the piercing edge of Ye Jielin. Not only students, but also some administrators from some seminaries were willing to go up and have a few words with her.

"Olivia, one of the most outstanding people in the seminary this time, is a member of the Astus family of the king's family. And her father is the patriarch of the contemporary Astus family and holds a very important position. Real power. Her mother is also the daughter of a powerful veteran in the Three Primary Colors Company. In addition, she successfully killed students from the military school in this mission. She was already quite famous in the seminary. After these events, she was immediately It has become even more dazzling." When Atuo Huan came over to get the red wine, he saw the eyes of Cassia and Selmer, and quickly explained while pouring the wine, "Maybe you also know that thing, that is, this mission Olivia’s opponent in the middle is a suppressor tube surgeon in our school.”

I originally wanted to introduce more people to Cassia and the others, but Atuohuan seemed to be unable to get away. After getting the wine by himself, he walked into the crowd with a smile again.

Without paying attention, Selmer's stomach was a little full, so he found a place to sit down and rest quietly. And since Cassia had to go out later, she didn't dare to eat too much food to affect her actions. Holding a glass of fresh grape juice, he chose a place that seemed to have few people and walked there. Facing the blurred glass window, he looked at the night view outside, preparing to spend the rest of the time.

He didn't stand still for long, and after just a sip of grape juice, a person's shadow was reflected in the glass window in front of him. The shadow gradually enlarged in Cassia's eyes.

"Is this Mr. Cassia Tussos?" It was an ordinary man's voice, but it contained a kind of natural magnetism.

Cassia had heard this sound somewhere, so that when the electrical signal representing the sound was transmitted into his head for processing, his chest suddenly hurt. It was a symbolic pain, like hearing a certain sound and being able to identify a familiar person. That's how it feels now.

The person who gave Cassia this feeling and allowed his body to remember this feeling has been dead for a long time, that is Li.
