104 The Float Parade
Selma Payne’s POV:
After she left, the crowd dispersed and gathered around the boxing ring again to cheer for the fighters.
Avril let go of Perrin and said shyly, “I’m sorry. You know that there are some grudges between Carolyn and me. So… I’m really sorry. I was too impulsive and shouldn’t have done that. Thank you for giving me a way out.”
Perrin grabbed her hand and whispered, “No, I’m serious about what I said just now. I don’t have a dance partner yet, because… Because I wanted to ask you. Avril, do you really want to dance the opening dance with me?”
“What?” Avril stuttered in panic, “I… I… oh, I don’t know how to say it, but… Yes, I will, Perrin. I will be your dance partner.”
We cheered for them.
After the cheers, Mara said bitterly, “It seems like someone has forgotten something.”
“Oh! I’m sorry, Mara. I forgot about you… ” said Avril, looking at her apologetically.
Mara waved her hand generously, indicating that there was no problem. “Forget it. I’m a tolerant friend, after all. But, do you want to change into a gown with me? There is no other meaning. It is just that it is really funny for two people in tuxedos to hug and dance together. You know how gossipy the students are. If you do that, you will have to change your sex next semester and become gay with Perrin.”
In the end, Avril insisted on wearing her favorite pink tuxedo, which was worth half a year’s pocket money. Perrin didn’t mind that. Even if Avril wore a gunny sack, he would still praise her for her modern taste.
In short, after an eventful morning, the float parade officially began at 11:30 in the late morning.
As Sivir Academy had four segments, including primary school, middle school, high school, and university, it covered a very large area. The float parade would take about an hour to make a full round.
To prevent the secret from being leaked, the werewolf grandmasters had to replace the school workers. The long parade gave them more time to prepare.
Before the float set off, Carolyn boarded the first vehicle in ‘surprise’ as if she knew nothing about it. She smiled and waved at the pedestrians like a queen who had just ascended the throne.
Very good, the first node was successfully opened.
Carolyn had to follow the structure of the magic circle and walk through the nodes for the magic circle to take effect. This was the only alternative after we could not obtain her body tissue.
The parade was halfway through smoothly. Then, just as they passed the opera hall, a man suddenly rushed out of the crowd. He held a basin of dirty water and splashed it at the first carriage.
It was Ryan. The next second, he was subdued by the students who rushed forward.
“Go to hell, you promiscuous b*tch!”
He was pinned to the ground, but he was still cursing agitatedly.
“You lied to me! You’ve deceived everyone!”
When I saw him rush out, I knew things were bad. However, the distance between us made it impossible for me to organize my thoughts.
This idiot was more than capable of ruining things!
I wanted to curse out loud without care.
That was just a basin of ordinary sewage water. Carolyn’s dress had been dirtied. With her personality, she definitely wouldn’t walk through the streets in such an embarrassing state. Instead, she would go and change her clothes.
The magic circle’s nodes had already been set up and couldn’t be changed at will. So if Carolyn left now, the plan would completely fail.
Just as I was anxiously thinking of a plan, Carolyn made an unexpected move.
She waved her hand, and the stains on her dress disappeared without a trace like a frost under the sun.
How could she dare to use sorcery in front of so many people? Was she not afraid of being exposed?
As if she had heard my thoughts, Carolyn explained to the people concerned about her, “Don’t worry, I can clean up this little stain. Did I say that I have a little bit of talent in magic? As you know, my father has fought against many witches and wizards. He feared the enemy would retaliate against me in the future, so he let me learn witchcraft. I admire my father’s wisdom in seizing the initiative and suppressing the enemy.”
No one doubted her words.
Indeed, who would have thought that the war hero’s daughter in front of him was a witch in disguise?
No one paid attention to this little interlude. Soon, the parade of festooned vehicles gradually went away.
Dorothy nodded slightly at me, indicating that the previous pause did not affect the effects of the magic formation.
Fortunately, the following demonstrations went smoothly until the end of the trip: at the central square.
The students gathered in the square, and even the tree branches became special seats. Even the academy director was willing to turn a blind eye on such a happy day.
Carolyn, disguised as a servant, was invited to get off the car by an actor from the drama club and came to the center of the square.
Fresh flowers surrounded a flower terrace. It was the stage for the parade’s last dance and the magic circle’s final node.
As I watched Carolyn walk up the steps, my heart beat faster.
Just as she was about to step onto the stage, Carolyn stopped, turned around, and laughed out loud.
“No way! Do you think I can’t see anything?”
In that instant, my pupils suddenly contracted.
She had discovered it!
