"Your friend is surely popular." Celine chuckled as she saw Michael's expression. His friend literally stole his limelight, who was supposed to be a man of an hour.
Michael couldn't help but sigh. No matter where you put Fein, he was bound to shine. He doesn't know what Fein was eating when he was a child. After all, he was better at everything he does.
It would be okay if Michael didn't know that Fein wasn't really practicing anything. It was as if he had already known how to do those things since his birth.
Michael walked towards Fein. When Fein saw Michael, he scratched his head awkwardly and said. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that it would be like this." He said helplessly.
"No, don't worry about it." Michael shook himself. Then he glanced at the audience that has a smile on their faces. "Isn't it great to see them become lively like this? You made my birthday much better."
Fein scanned the people in the hall. They were looking at him with admiration and respect. "Well, you're right. That's one way to look at it."
"Can you also play piano on my birthday?" Celine looked at Fein. She was also been fond of music since when she was a child. Seeing Michael's friend's skills, she would be a fool to not take this opportunity right.
"No problem, miss Celine Diaz." Fein grinned and he didn't even think about it and agreed to the request quickly. Might as well use his talents.
"Good." Celine's Eyes lit up.
'Damn, I should have studied how to play piano.' Michael only felt regret at this moment. If he knew how to play piano, he would have scored a brownies point. Then he looked at his friend and his eyes shone for a second. 'How about a dance?'
If there was something he was confident at. It would be dance. After all, he has already learned how to dance with a coach when was a kid. And not to brag, he could defeat professional dancers with ease. Because degu users have a unique advantage of body control and they could perform movements that a regular human can only dream about.
'What's going through this guy's mind?' Fein scratched his head. With his observation skill, he feels that Michael was cooking something.
'ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novel(B) in.ᴄᴏᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ ꜰᴀsᴛᴇʀ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ sᴘᴇᴇᴅ.',
"How about dancing?" Michael smiled. But when he thought about it, who was his competitor? Michael couldn't help but hesitates a little. After all, Kidd and he had already suffered from Fein's hand in the past.
'Ohhh, he's certainly good at dancing.' Celine has known Michael for a long time. And she knew almost the skills he was good at.
Celine looked at Michael thoughtfully. Then, as if she thought of something, she opened her mouth. "I have a suggestion."
"What is it?" Michael asked with surprise.
"How about we dance by partner?"
"Good suggestion. But who would act as my partner?" If Sofia was here, Fein thinks that it was a good job. Unfortunately, she was on the other side of the kingdom. Thinking of this, he realized that he didn't have memories with Sofia except for fighting and adventure in the Secret Realm.
Celine swept her eyes down the hall. The girls looked at Fein with fiery gazes in their eyes and a hint of desire. "The girls here would be dying just to have a dance with you. Don't you think so?"
"Celine's right... Why not take this chance to talk with some girls?" Michael rubbed his chin with a smile on his face.
"I have only one woman in my heart."
"Well, it's just a dance." Michael was quite impressed with his friend's self-control. After all, with his appearance, the girls would flock to him at any chance. Few men can do this.
"Who?" Celine became curious about who the lucky girl was that managed to get his heart. After she talked with Fein, she had a general understanding of his personality.
"Sofia Vladimir." Fein always talks about the girl to him so Michael had a pretty good idea.
"Ohhh..." Celine raised her eyebrows as she heard a familiar surname. She thought for a while.
Isn't that the popular family with an S-rank patriarch? Celine once managed to have an interaction with the Blood Primogenitor. The only thing he can say is one word: strong.
'ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N ovelBi(n)',
"The vampires?"
"Huh... How'd you know!?" Fein's eyes stretched towards the horizon as he stared at Celine with his round eyes filled with disbelief.
"Don't underestimate the intelligence the Heraldry Knight possessed. And their status wasn't really secret to high-level figures in the first place." Celine responded with a tone of pride in her voice.
"Okay, but I don't want to dance with strangers... Let me dance with Kate, at least we're familiar with each other."
Michel clenched his fist. He felt that this time, he would finally get his revenge and defeat Fein in dancing. After all, this isn't a one vs one battle. He could still defeat Fein if Kate messed up.
'With Celine's dancing skill, I can already see the victory in the bag.'
"Well, let me call Kate first..."
"Okay, I'll announce it first." Michael walked to the middle of the hallway, which got the people's attention quickly.
"Michael, is there another music? Why doesn't he play again one last time?"
Michael heard a familiar voice. When turned his head in the guy's direction, he saw one of his friends with regrets. "No, we have another event. We will have a dancing competition."
The guy is his friend called Leonardo Acker. One of the B rank degu users with investigator status.
"Eh? That's unfortunate. I like to hear the music more." Leonardo shook his head. He wasn't really interested in some guys or couples dancing. It would only make him envious to death!
"There will be a dancing competition." Michael's words caused a commotion in the hall. And it quickly attracted their attention.
Most of the girls in the hall straightened u when they heard this. Fein's figure was certainly heavenly in their eyes...
"Yes... you've heard it right. By the way, my friend is called Fein. Fein Bonifacio." Michael grinned and use the opportunity to sell his friend. "Because I know that some of you want to know his name right?"
