Qian Jin shrugged. Most of what he had read before was the life experiences of famous warriors, including who the rulers were that time, how they fought and what their well-known fighting techniques were. But they had said nothing about dance parties. How could he know it?
"How can you call yourself a Punitive Expedition Academy student if you can't dance?"
A sulky voice which was full of arrogance and hostility drifted over. Qian Jin gently sighed. It was familiar and annoying.
In a pale yellow magic robe, Abela still had those four squires followed behind! But on her face, there was no fear anymore.
Looking at the provoking face, Qian Jin took a deep breath. Didn't the daughter of the vice president of the Crystal Magic Tower know how to spell 'dead'?
"You Oakland bumpkin! How can you know what the dance parties for?" Holding her wand in hand, Abela looked like some big shot. "It is just a normal social activity for us. After all, we senior students are to become something in the future."
Something? Qian Jin curled his lips. If students like Abela would become something, then all the Zence Empire would be in jeopardy. Qian Jin had to admit that, compared to Abela, Lucifer Lucy was quick, smart and strong! If she were a Soul Weapon, Abela was some iron crumbs at best although Lucifer Lucy was, in fact, a demon.
"Big shots need to have squires." Abela proudly raised her head. "In a dance party, we, the big shots in the future, will make ourselves familiar to the public by showing our charm, spirit, wisdom, and strength. That's how we recruit retinues."
Qian Jin nodded. The advanced academies surely had a mature plan. Warriors usually had no way to expand their social circles. It was even difficult to volunteer their services to a force.
In a casual atmosphere, people were relaxed and easy to talk to. With most prestigious families present, dance parties were the best chances for warriors.
"But you? Oh..." Abela shook her head with a disdainful sneer. "I am afraid it is hard for a bumpkin to win anyone's favor. You may just content yourself being a small retinue for a small family."
Qian Jin didn't bother to talk to this baby girl. She had been going after him like a mad dog since the mire grudge.
Being paid no attention, Abela was furious! Qian Jin was just an ordinary warrior of no standing. How could he ignore her like this? She was the daughter of the vice president of the Crystal Magic Tower!
"Hmph!" Abela sneered to make herself heard. "Madam, I'm afraid it's too late to inform him of this dance parties. He has no partner."
Partner? Qian Jin raised his eyebrows. He had too many. Rosella, Gomez Jane, and Lucifer Lucy, the knotty demon he could never figure out.
Any of them was enough to overshadow other women and stun the world!
Qian Jin scratched his head by the choices in front him. He couldn't take Rosella or Gomez Jane. It might get very nasty because women were jealousy creatures. He might just as well skip it. But he couldn't take Lucifer Lucy either. Only the Stars would know what she was capable of on this special occasion. Besides, it was not appropriate to bring an outsider to the dance parties held by the academy.
"What? You've got no partner?" A ridicule smile of victory showed up on the girl's face! She loved this! She became an underdog whenever she met this savage. This time she finally won. "Well, perhaps you could rent yourself one from the brothel. But do pick up a high-priced because you don't want to disgrace our academy..."
Qian Jin didn't talk back. Resting his chin in hand, he thought this dance party thing through. To a certain extent, he came back to the Punitive Expedition Academy this time because he hoped to be powerful and forceful just like Pam Honzi had suggested.
This dance party was a perfect platform but he wouldn't win any recognition if he went there along
without a partner. The first impression could last forever!
But to take who? A light broke in upon Qian Jin. He clearly saw Isabella, the principal, slightly puffed out her chest with a faint smile flashing in her pupils.
Qian Jin smiled inwardly. Isabella would be a perfect choice! Not only he would be the focus tonight, but also a lot of trouble could be saved. With Miss. Principal as his partner, he would stun the world!
"I ... I can be your partner..."
A familiar voice of shyness, timidity, but at the same time, some courage sounded behind Abela.
Qian Jin turned around. He saw the familiar black hat and robe. It was Gabriella. She stood there and suggested in a timid but courageous tone, "You need a partner? How about me?"
Isabella looked at the girl and then the boy. She kept moving her lips while surprise flashed in her gem eyes. This was the first time Gabriella had ever expressed her opinions since stepping into the academy!
"You?" A ridicule expression took place of the arrogance on Abela's face: "You want to do be this savage's partner? Hum... What a perfect match."
The four squire also laughed out loud. Gabriella was known as the poorest student in the history of Punitive Expedition Academy ever! She was not that strong as other students, but she also enjoyed the best resources. She would only embarrass Qian Jin being his partner. Who would think highly of this man if he had a partner like this?
"Well, I'm looking forward to the dance parties now." Abela turned her head, raised her hand and covered her mouth with a series of sneers. "Oh, I have never been so looking forward to something like this... "
With both arms around the chest, Isabella watched the girl leave and asked Qian Jin in a glance, "What happened between you two?"
"Well, it was a long time ago when we were outside the frontiers. She did some stupid things and I threw her into a mire! Afterward, she wanted to kill me. Before I took my revenge, she was brought away." Qian Jin rubbed his chin back and forth with his index finger. "Yesterday, she even paid someone to take my life! She is a potential threat to me."
"Well, you are also a potential threat to her." Isabella smiled. "Don't ever reveal your hatred to your classmates in front of the principal! Besides, both Abela's parents are the vice presidents of the Crystal Magic Tower. Don't get yourself involved in those messes!"
"That's why I have been looking for opportunities but haven't really laid my hand on her." Qian Jin raised his eyebrows. "Although we Torrent Battle Fort is not afraid of the Crystal Magic Tower, I don't want to bother Marc Gavin anymore. I don't feel safe under her watch. Whatever, I'll take care of this myself."
"I did not hear a thing." Isabella stuffed her ears up with hands and looked up into the sky like an innocent child. "I did not hear anything that would violate the law! Ah... What a beautiful day..."
Seeing the principal turn into a girl again, Qian Jin really wanted to ask the question out if she had a sister named Lucifer Lucy.
They were both sexy and confident with ever-changing images... The only difference was one being a human and the other a demon...
What would happen if the two crossed paths...? It was beyond Qian Jin's imagination... The demon princess and the principal of Punitive Expedition Academy?
Would there be an acting skill contest? Or they would just see who was more sexy and attractive?
"Right!" Isabella transformed into the sexy principal once again. She asked while making an S-shaped pose. "Boy, since you have already decided, do you have the suitable outfits?"
Outfits? Qian Jin turned to Gabriella but only to find the girl was looking at him with the same expression in the big hat. Clearly, she didn't have anything to wear either.
"The clothes, shoes and the identity card, you've got none of them?" Isabella looked at Qian Jin in a surprise: "Boy, I have seen your test paper when you were in the Oakland Mage and Warrior Novice Academy. You got full marks and most of your opinions were even better than warriors in advanced war academies. But you don't know a thing about singing, dancing or anything like this?"
Qian Jin shook his head. He could be a talkative man when it came to Pharmaceutical, Mystic Potion, and even wars... But a dance parties? The bonfire party he had attended when he was still a child only needed a horse-headed zither, a bagpipe and that's all. Then they just went there to sing and dance. The clothes? They didn't need any...
Helplessly, Isabella raised her hand and gently patted her forehead. "Boy, I'll give you a day off to buy clothes, shoes and make your identity cards."
Qian Jin was stunned! Was the principal out of her mind? He had proved himself by the accidental fight they had fought last time. But she didn't have to value him like this... Was she...
Qian Jin glanced over Gabriella, the girl who didn't like crowded places at all. Theoretically, she wouldn't want to attend an occasion like the dance parties tonight. It must be the principal! She liked Gabriella so much that... Or should he say, she liked Gloria...
