"Kuku, Ye Ling is still crying." Lily whispered beside her. She and Ye Ling often played together, so she would not miss such an opportunity to laugh at her.

"You must be missing Roland." Alena was sitting aside at the moment. Compared to a few years ago, she was much more mature now. The yellow and white cat she was stroking on her knees had also become much fatter and more lazy, and not as afraid of people as before.

"Loran hasn't changed." Lettice had a complicated hairstyle today, revealing a smooth forehead, and two light gold pendants hung on her ears.

"Isn't Vimiya coming?" Loran Hill put down the coquettish Ye Ling in his arms, looked around, and did not see the blue-haired sea witch.

"It is said that Vimiya had some family matters in the first half of the year, so she asked for leave." Niya shook her head. The girl with goat horns still looked a little petite among the few people. She was standing quietly aside at this moment. She was more confident and peaceful than before.

"Hi, the snacks are ready." Bumansha came out wearing an apron, still holding the freshly baked snacks in her hands.

"This is my masterpiece this year. Luo Lan, why don't you try it?" After putting the plate away, the girl next door who was like an older sister said with a smile.

Despite having won the championship on campus for several consecutive times, she seemed to have no airs at all, and it was hard to tell that she was the holder of the "only championship" three times.

"Woo...don't feed me." Ye Ling grumbled, shook her head vigorously, and blocked the snacks handed to her with her hands.

In order to make Ye Ling laugh instead of crying, everyone at the table brought snacks to stuff into her mouth.

"Kuti, have something to eat too." Loran Hill picked up a crispy yellow pastry, put it into Kuti's mouth, and watched her eat it in small bites.

"Loran, eat too." Compared to before, Katie no longer eats in a daze, but instead reminds Loran Hill.

"OK."

Several people sat together and talked to each other. Since Loran Hill left school, the number of times they got together had gradually decreased.

"Time flies! We're almost graduating," Bumansha lamented. Even this usually steady older sister now expressed this sentiment.

"No, no, no, it's just that Bumansa is too powerful." Alena teased the big cat in her arms with a biscuit.

"Lettice and I are only in the fourth grade now. It's not easy to get promoted to the fifth grade." Although she is excellent, she cannot be called a genius.

"Hehe." Hearing this, Ye Ling smiled with a little pride. As a girl with extremely high talent, she was naturally in the fifth grade, which also surpassed Alena.

"Crybaby Ye Ling." Lily lost no time in expressing her dissatisfaction. As a girl of average talent, she is only in the third grade.

"I estimate it will take a few more years before I can graduate." Kafla said this. The girl is still studying in the central school building, but she has a good attitude and is steadily improving herself.

"Niya is unexpected. She is already in the fifth grade." Lettice looked at her once inconspicuous roommate with a little admiration.

After hearing this, Niya looked up and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I'm just a little luckier," she said modestly.

In the past two years, Nia has made exceptionally rapid progress after resolving her emotional issues. In addition, with the auxiliary potions given by Roland, her progress has been even faster. She is now a Sequence 6, which has surprised her former friends.

"Does this mean that this year, Roland, Bumansa, Niya, and Ye Ling will graduate and leave?" Lily counted on her fingers.

"Yes." Bumansa held Lily in her arms, like an older sister holding her younger sister. They both studied at the Walled City Academy, so naturally their relationship was deeper.

"Oh, who will support the club in the future? The previous seniors have left, and now Bumansa and Roland are leaving too." Lily suddenly remembered her family's poor strength and felt a little sad. The status of the Black Water Lily Club would probably decline slowly.

Think about it, in the past, the club not only had extraordinary people like Luo Lan and Bu Mansha, but also great talents like Hong Fan, Ku Ye, Atati, and Yi Geli. Now, they have all left.

As for Lily, a club elder, she is only in her third year. As a Sequence 4, she cannot support the transcendent status of Black Water Lily.

"All good things must come to an end." Loran Hill comforted Lily, saying a proverb from the East.

"After leaving school, everyone will have a wider space." Lettice also said comfortingly. She has met many senior brothers from the same faction, and many of them will meet again after graduation.

"We'll all have a chance to meet again someday. If not, I'll come find you all one by one," Alena promised. She and Lily had been close in first grade, and now she could better empathize with her friend's sadness.

"Let's get together for this winter party." Everyone said so.

————————

In two weeks, the Winter Festival Gala will begin.

Frosted green branches hung throughout the academy's streets and corridors. Dark green branches woven into rings, dotted with bright red berries, and in strategic locations, paper flowers were placed, creating a lively and warm atmosphere. This year's "Crown of Melody" seemed particularly adept at decoration.

One by one, the students of Emenas walked on the snow-covered road. Some of them talked about recent interesting things, while others talked about a star student and teacher.

"Who will be this year's champion? I heard there's a girl from the East Continent joining High Tower Academy. She's incredibly talented, having reached Sequence 6 in her third year."
