Finally, as the final match came to an end, the Nine Schools Tournament also came to an end.
The First School of Magic successfully won the regular season and the newcomer competition, as well as the men's and women's groups, creating an unprecedented record.
Because of this, the joint dinner after the tournament was unusually lively.
Unlike the friendship dinner at the beginning of the Nine Schools Tournament, the joint dinner was attended not only by the students of the nine schools, but also by the sponsors of the Nine Schools Tournament, senior military officials, and members of the tournament organizers.
Among them, the most popular was, of course …
"Haruhiko-kun is really popular."
Looking at Fangzheng, who was surrounded by layers of people, Mashimi Shicusa sighed and said with a wry smile. Next to her, Katsuhito Juumonji nodded in agreement.
"That's normal. After all, he showed almost invincible power in the Nine Schools Tournament. Not only that … the flight magic based on airflow control and the automatic calculation core were also his inventions. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that there really are such omnipotent geniuses in this world."
"If only his temper could be a little better."
"Haha, no one's perfect."
Hearing Mashimi Shicusa's complaint, Katsuhito Juumonji chuckled.
"I think people like that are more realistic. If a person has Haruhiko's strength but still acts very reserved and gentle, I'll be worried that he has other intentions … At least for now, as a friend, he's still very reliable, isn't he?"
Mashimi Shicusa frowned and looked at Katsuhito Juumonji.
"Is the Juumonji family planning to recruit Haruhiko-kun?"
"I'd love to, but unfortunately, Haruhiko-Kun doesn't seem interested in a rough man like me."
Katsuhito Juumonji did not hide his thoughts. After Ichijō Shouki was defeated by Fangzheng, the other nine families immediately became interested in Fangzheng. After all, if they could recruit Fangzheng, they would have a way to confront the Ichijō family head-on. Not only did Fangzheng show his strong magical power, the two papers on flight magic and the automatic calculation core also proved his strength.
In contrast, his arrogant personality was not a flaw.
"If it's the Seven Herbs Family, you should have a higher chance of winning. At least, you get along well with Haruhino."
"If it's a marriage partner, I hope I can choose a better man …"
Towards Juumonji's words, Mayumi Shicakusa didn't show any expression of shyness. As the eldest daughter of the Shicakusa family, political marriages were her mission, and Mayumi Shicakusa herself was very clear about this. And just as Juumonji had said, if the Shichinose Family wanted to recruit Fangzheng, then Mayumi Shichinose was obviously the best choice.
"Besides, I don't think Haruhiko will choose me."
As she spoke, Shichikusa Mayumi looked at the expressionless, dignified, and beautiful Kitayama Hou, who was standing beside Fangzheng. When the important figures greeted Fangzheng, she had been standing there the entire time. This wasn't because there was any personal relationship between the two, but because Fangzheng and Kitayama Industries were now in a cooperative relationship. As the daughter of the chairman of Kitayama Industries, of course, the Kitayama Hou had to show this relationship to the guests.
"But if he wants to reach the top of the magical world, he must become a member of the Juumonji clan."
"Do you think Haruhika-kun will care about that?"
"…"
Faced with Mayumi Shichinose's rhetorical question, Juumonji was speechless for a moment.
"To be honest, I don't know what Haruhiko wants. I can't see through him."
Juumonji's Bane Man was rather vexed. As the acting leader of Juumonji, he believed that he had the ability to read people. However, a person like Fangzheng was like a fog to Juumonji's Bane Man. No matter how he looked, he couldn't tell what Fangzheng was thinking.
Soon, the time for the appetizers of the banquet was over. Next, it was time for everyone to dance. The big shots left one after another, and the students who stood there finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Naturally, Fangzheng wasn't one of them.
"I can't believe you can act so naturally."
The Northmont Bear looked at Fangzheng, and his face, which usually showed no expression, revealed a strange look. It was no wonder she felt this way, because the people who came to greet Fangzheng just now ranged from the organizer of the convention, Nine Isles, to celebrities in the military and business circles. It could be said that almost all the powerful people who had something to do with the Nine School Battles had come. Even the Northmont Sea felt a little nervous. But Fangzheng, on the other hand, looked quite calm. The way he held a glass of wine and talked and laughed with the other party gave the impression that he was not a student at all. On the contrary, in front of Fangzheng, those big shots seemed a little restrained … This gave the Northmont Sea a very strange feeling.
"After all, it's just a chat. If the other party is here to pick a fight, that's a different matter. But since they're all here to flatter me and please me, I don't need to show them any displeasure. "
"… Do you have to be so straightforward …?"
"After all, it's the truth. So you see, since the other party's intention is not to provoke me, of course I'll talk nicely. But if those idiots dare to pick a fight with me, I don't mind letting them know how powerful I am. It's only polite to reciprocate, isn't it? "
Having said that, Fangzheng finished the drink in his glass in one gulp and looked at the other side not far away. There, Sibo Shenxue was standing in the shadow of a pillar without saying a word.
"What a pitiful girl. What's wrong with you?"
"She's probably tired. She's greeted a lot of people just now."
Although she was not as good as Fangzheng, Sibo Shenxue's performance was also very eye-catching. Coupled with her outstanding appearance, she naturally attracted more attention.
"Don't you feel cold? I feel a little cold. It's summer. "
As Fangzheng spoke, he put the glass on the table.
"Forget it. I'll deal with this little trouble first."
"Can't you just leave it alone?"
"How can you do that? She's a beauty. How can you leave a beauty alone, right?"
"… You're asking for my permission …"
In the face of Fangzheng's straightforward words, a look of speechlessness appeared on the Northern Mountain Dragon's face, which rarely showed any expression.
But Fangzheng only smiled at her, then turned around and walked towards Sibo Shenxue.
Seeing Fangzheng approaching, the boys who were lingering nearby hesitantly wanted to invite Sibo Shenxue for a dance but were forced back by the girl's cold aura also left. According to their thinking, disturbing a beauty when she was angry was definitely an act of losing points. But of course, Fangzheng didn't care about that. He walked directly to Sibo Shenxue.
"I say, this is a celebratory feast. Who are you trying to impress by throwing a tantrum here? You're not a kid anymore. "
"…"
Sibo Shenxue stared at Fangzheng without saying a word. But Fangzheng obviously didn't intend to be a caring brother.
"It's because you're thinking too much that you became like this. Come, come, let's dance. You'll feel better."
As he spoke, Fangzheng pulled Sibo Shenxue onto the dance floor. This was clearly not a gentleman's behaviour, but Fangzheng didn't care about it at all. After pulling Sibo Shenxue onto the dance floor, he held her hands and started dancing without caring about Sibo Shenxue's opinion.
Under such circumstances, Sibo Shenxue could only follow even if she was unwilling. Otherwise, she would become a doll that Fangzheng grabbed and shook left and right.
"So what are you thinking about?"
Fangzheng asked while dancing with Sibo Shenxue. The latter hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Why can't I beat you."
Although strictly speaking, Fangzheng didn't interact much with Sibo Shenxue, perhaps she knew that it was useless to maintain her poise in front of this man, so Sibo Shenxue bluntly stated her thoughts.
"Why can't I beat you no matter what I do? Me too, Big Brother too. Why are you so strong?"
As she spoke, as if venting, Sibo Shenxue's dance became more agitated. She obviously wanted to seize control of the dance and beat Fangzheng.
"Didn't you say the answer yourself?"
If he was an ordinary person, he would have already lost his composure and made a fool of himself. But Fangzheng didn't care. He easily dispelled Sibo Shenxue's attack while keeping up with her dance.
"Because I'm the strongest. It's that simple."
As he spoke, Fangzheng forcefully pulled Sibo Shenxue into his embrace.
At the same time, the dance became more gentle.
"So your question is meaningless. Sulking here won't get you anywhere."
"… …."
Sibo Shenxue didn't answer. She just bit her lower lip and stared at Fangzheng with a sulky look.
"You don't understand Big Brother at all …."
"Of course I don't understand. We're not in the same class. I don't know him. What do I understand?"
Fangzheng shrugged and interrupted Sibo Shenxue's complaint.
"Besides, I'm not interested in men. A beautiful girl like you is fine, but why must I be interested in men?"
"You …."
Sibo Shenxue was left speechless by Fangzheng's words. Clearly, Fangzheng was belittling his brother, but Sibo Shenxue felt that if he flared up, he would lose.
But if she forced Fangzheng to be interested in her brother, that didn't seem right either.
Soon, the dance ended. Sibo Shenxue's mind was in a mess and she didn't know what to say. She turned around and left the banquet hall after the dance ended.
At this time, the Northmont Bear walked over.
"What, you failed?"
"I think it's okay. At least she accompanied me to the end of the dance, right? To be able to make an angry girl accompany you to the end of the dance instead of slapping your hand or slapping you midway, I think it's already quite successful. "
"… …."
Hearing Fangzheng's shameless answer, the Northmont Bear was shocked.
"Didn't you go to make her feel better?"
"I just wanted to invite her to dance. It's that simple. Now that I've achieved my goal, everything is fine, isn't it?"
At this point, Fangzheng glanced at the Northmont Bear with a smile, then retracted his gaze and squinted at the night outside.
And this was just the beginning.
