《The Battle Mage》The Banquet
Advertisement
The notification rang out in my head before I was teleported out and was now standing on the stage. There were also 7 other people with me on stage
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this year's battle royale Champions!" The host joyfully announced.
"Since we announced the 1st years last Battle Royale, this time we're gonna start from the 4th years! " A sexy lady came to the stage while pushing a small luxurious cart that had 5 Rare swords.
Here is a simple draft for item rarities:
Mythical>Magic-Imbued>rare>uncommon>common
Rea and Lea can be considered as both mythical types so I'm not that much concerned about the prizes.
"4th years champion from the Knights Academy!!
Keil Marth and Doug Stille the only survivors! "
They both received their weapon and quickly strapped them on, with faces full of pride and arrogance before walking off the stage and sat on their designated seats.
This continued on till it was my turn.
"From the first years, he registered alone and was able to win without any help from anyone, I give you... "He opened the envelope and stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds before composing himself and continued.
"Lyan Timberwolf! His prize is a rare skill called [Whirlpool]"
The crowd went silent before they roared and cheered
Afterwards, another banquet was held we already took the cash from the bet which resulted in me receiving 1500 white gold coins, I also got the land from Mrs. Sasha. I'm going to check it out with Chris tomorrow.
I was eating a cake when Mira dressed in a silver shoulderless gown along with Arachne who was wearing a custom-made outfit designed by me, I incorporated some fashion in my past life to give birth to this design fit for Arachne, Aurora and her Mother kept praising me about the design "I came up with" I don't feel guilty, to be honest.
They suddenly became the main attractions as they walked towards me.This caused the male all around us to give me a death stare.
"Master there will be a one-month break from class" Arachne asked while holding a plate full of meat, honestly her stomach looks flat... Will all those fit in there?
"Hmmm.. how about we go home? It's time for you to meet my parents" I said in a way she would misunderstand.
"M-M-Master, what do you mean?! " her plate was shaking but the food wasn't falling, what magic is this?

"I meant what I said"
"Master please stop teasing Arachne" Mira interjected while holding a plate with a cake in it, did these two develop a good friendship while I was gone?
"Hehe" I laughed as Arachne puffed her cheeks and pinched my waist
"Hey, that's the son of Ryan Timberwolf, right? " Noble1
"Yeah, wait let me call my daughter..."Noble2
"Did you see him in the battle royale?"Noble3
"Yeah, he became the champion of the first years"Noble4
I heard a group of nobles who were on the 2nd-floor chat amongst themselves and felt something troublesome coming my way so I started to leave Hall and move to the veranda but...
"Master say ahh" Arachne pulled me back and tried to feed me a spoonful of meat, Mira was surprised while the people around were watching me...
So I quickly ate it and tried to leave again but this time
"Excuse me, sir.Lyan....may I ask for a bit of your time? "A young girl with yellow hair and twin tails asked while blushing and gripping her skirt with one hand while the other was on her cheeks
"Fuck off" is what I wanted to say but I can't so I smiled and replied
"Sure, what do you need? "
"My name is Francesca Aldruin, daughter of Count Aldruin, uhm may I ask for a dance? "
"Fuck no"I almost blurted it out good thing I managed to control myself
"Of course. "I smiled and said
She took my hand and eagerly pulled me to the dance floor, the dance only lasts for 1 minute before you change partners and while we were dancing... In a nutshell, she was telling me reasons to marry her
"It was fun dancing with you" I said as I started walking away but once again..
"Sir. Lyan? Do you have some spare time? " another young noble asked.
After almost 9 dances, My mouth was stuck and I can't stop smiling. I was almost gonna resign to my fate when another girl was coming towards me but I saw Mira surrounded by rejected men while Arachne was all alone... No, the other young men and women are looking down on her.
"Sir. Lyan may I ask... "The young woman arrived
"I'm sorry but I already have a partner for this dance" I said as I went to the maestro and told him to play a music "I composed" when I give the signal before looking for a place to hide and changed my attire, after changing I double checked to see if everything is ok.

I was wearing a white polo shirt with a black necktie and a tight vest like those of a bartender's along with a somewhat fitted slacks and black shoes, this is something I asked Aurora to once make.
I grabbed a rose from a vase nearby and went to the center of the dance floor, everyone else looked and instinctively moved away leaving me at the center, the music also stopped.
Everyone was looking at me, I pointed the rose at Arachne's position and everyone cleared a path, Arachne felt something wrong and raised her head.
'This is fucking embarrassing' I thought to myself
After processing everything that was happening her face became flushed red while she pointed her finger at herself and had a questioning look on her face, I raised my arm to give the signal and the music started to play, it was one of the Spanish music for a tango.
I put the rose's stalk in my mouth as I started walking towards and clapping my hand, Arachne was shocked while Mira? Much more so, Chris, Aurora, Reina, Rona, Ms. Lucia had their mouths wide open while Mrs.Sasha immediately took out a High-Quality recording cube and started to record what I'm about to do.
I got to endure! I know I'm doing something I don't usually do, but this is for Arachne! I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the center and started dancing...well more like a one-sided dance because only I know this dance and had to guide Arachnes body.
Everyone intently watched our dance, every twirl, every spin, heck even when I tossed Arachne up and caught her everyone gasped and finally for the ending, my hand supported her back as she bent backward while I bent forward. My face was now only a few inches from hers, I opened my mouth and the rose stalk fell to her mouth and she immediately closed it out of instincts.
The staffs all each threw roses forming a circle with us in the center, I asked them to do this earlier and they were more than willing to comply.
I raised her back up.Clearly, she was still processing everything that happened while everyone else still had their mouths open. Only Mrs.Sasha was cheering, then 1 by 1 they started clapping. I bowed towards them and pulled Arachne back to the sides so she can get a drink to calm herself down when we arrived she finally reacted
"Master.... Twirl... Spin... Toss.. Dance.. Rose! " ok.. Maybe she's still a bit shocked
"Ah master..., that was amazing" she said after a few seconds and was holding the rose in her hands
"I'm glad you're happy" I smiled as I pat her head, she only nodded and hid her flushed face by looking down.
"Master Lyan.. That was amazing.."Mira stood beside us and said
"Oi Lyan, teach me those moves! " Chris and the rest also came
""You were both amazing!! ""Rona and Reina both said
"Never thought that outfit was for dancing... "Aurora meekly said
"I got something good! "Mrs. Sasha with Ms. Lucia arrived.
The entire group was a bit loud but who fucking cares? We were all laughing while drinking a few glasses of wine.
"The last dance of the night! "Chris suddenly said, while he quickly asked Reina for a dance.
"Do you also wanna go? "I asked Mira
"No, how could I a servant... "Mira said but Arachne pushed her into my arms
"You shouldn't embarrass master" Arachne said
".... No tossing.. "Mira said as she lowered her head to hide her red face
"Don't worry" I replied and pulled her to the dance floor.
This is somewhat the middle ages with magic but I came from a much-advanced world which means our dances from the middle ages were polished and improved, our dance was simple and refined but it was different from the others so it caught a lot of attention coupled with Mira's beautiful looks, almost everyone was watching us.
After the dance, we all started to go to our respected dorms but Mira wanted to sleep in my room so we secretly sneaked in. The next morning after breakfast I made my way to the so-called mansion that I received while contemplating the other 2 requests I get from the fatso.
