Chapter 117 Dreamy Blue

At night, Heshia followed Anneli to the house where they lived.

In front of them was a two-story dome house with a curved roof similar to the oriental eaves, and below was a turquoise-like light blue wall, with golden branches and leaves decorating the windows and floral decorations, which was neither too complicated nor monotonous, just right.

Walking into the house, the first thing you see is the spacious hall, one side of the wall is replaced by curved lattice glass, you can see the garden scenery outside, and you can also draw the curtains at night to keep quiet.

The round table in the living room is also turquoise color similar to the wall color, with a porcelain teapot on it, and the handle of the teapot and the edge of the teacup are all gilded. In addition to the table and chairs, there are not many things in the hall, trying to give people a simple and refreshing feeling.

There is a large kitchen behind the living room on the first floor, and it is estimated that ten maids will not be crowded standing in it to work. There is also a servant's lounge and storage room on the other side.

The two bedrooms are on the second floor. Heshia's room is opposite to Anneli's room. There is also an empty guest room. In addition, there is a small attic on the top half floor, but it is currently empty. As for the bathroom, it is on the basement floor. It is very quiet, just like a swimming pool, and the insulation and sound insulation are also excellent.

"Is it really necessary to be so luxurious?" Heshia was a little surprised after the visit. She probably knew that Anneli's family was very rich, but she didn't expect it to be arranged so grandly.

"Yes, after all, only with a good living environment can you do things wholeheartedly." Anneli talked about her life experience. She is a very picky person. Since she has decided to get along well with Tilan, she naturally has to come up with the best standards in her mind.

"Okay." Since she is already here, Heshia can't object at this time. She is not such a rigid person, but she is still a little uncomfortable.

Not long after the two sat down, several maids brought them freshly brewed hot tea, and the faint fragrance also overflowed with the heat.

Holding the slightly hot teacup, Heshia looked out the glass window beside her. She could hear some insects chirping and occasionally a few birds singing. It was obvious that the environment here was quiet. Although it was in the Edes Academy, there was only one house around them.

"When I came here, I heard from Madam Isabel that if there was anything I didn't understand, I could ask Annelie." Heshia remembered what she was told before she left.

"That's right, Tilan, just ask me if you have anything." Annelie patted her chest with a little joy.

"Here at Edes Academy..." Heshia organized her words a little.

"How do you get along with each other? I've heard some rumors that this place is different from other academies."

"Well, there are indeed some differences, but in the early stages, Tilan doesn't have to worry so much. Just treat it as an ordinary high school." Annelie comforted her.

"Although many of my classmates come from extraordinary families, they are all 16-17 years old and have similar hobbies. They also play games, watch interesting movies, chat, and have various troubles."

"I was born in the Xie Lanhua family. Because of my family, I also know many peers of similar status. Except for 10% of the hobbies and habits that are different from others, everyone else is not much different from ordinary people."

"Is that so..." Heshia nodded slightly, and believed Anneli for the time being. Although she felt that it would not be that simple, she did not seem to be as worried as before.

The two chatted about the facilities and surrounding environment in the house for a while, and then Heshia asked curiously.

"Are these maids in the house always on standby?" Heshia saw the two maids standing at the wall not far away, motionless for a long time.

"Yes, because we may need them at any time, so it is convenient to summon them."

"Eco, Ella, come here." Anneli waved.

After hearing this, the two maids walked over quickly in small steps, and their voices were very low, as if they had received special training.

"This is Tilan, and you will be the master here from now on, my good friend. When Tilan comes to you in the future, she will do the same as me. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Miss Six." Anneli ranked sixth among her peers in the family.

"Okay, you guys go to the bathroom first. Tilan and I will take a shower later."

"Yes." After that, one of the two maids left to go to the basement bathroom to drain the water and adjust the temperature, while the other one remained standing on the side of the living room.

Seeing that Tilan was a little concerned, Anneli explained again, "Although it seems a bit tiring, our family also provides them with very generous treatment, and some jobs require this. It is impossible to be relaxed all the time."

"I understand." Tilan shook her head and nodded.

"I worked in a cafe before, and I understand this need." She didn't understand, but she felt that in just half a month, she went from a maid who provided help to others to a being served by others.

The world is really changing. Everything that is obtained without any effort makes people feel a little uneasy.

An hour later, Tilan was soaking in the bathroom. Anneli had left. She was the only one in the pool, so she was particularly relaxed.

As expected, it was most relaxing when I was alone, the girl thought. At this time, I could also have some leisure time to play with water and listen to the sound of water splashing.

Half an hour later, the girl stepped on the wet ground to the shower room beside her. After a simple rinse, she wiped her body clean, put on her pajamas, and went to the bedroom on the second floor.

"Please come here." The maid Aiko led her and opened the door. This bedroom was very spacious. The bed covered with gauze was a little warm in the night breeze.

"Thank you, you should go and rest too. You don't have to guard the door at night."

"Yes, Miss." She bowed and saluted, and then retreated.

It was really obedient. The girl thought that the maid would refuse, but it seemed that she was too worried.

At night, the hazy moon shone through the glass window into the house. Heshia slept soundly and did not wake up from time to time in the middle of the night like in the past. Perhaps she herself did not realize that she rarely dreamed about her sister and mother now. Perhaps it was not until now that she really let go of those gray past events and gradually walked out of the dark house to show her own colors.

The next day, the girl woke up in the birdsong and the morning light.

But she was still a little sleepy and did not want to get up, Heshia thought while lying on the bed.

After a while, she looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock. Then she sat up slowly and shook her hair which was a little messy.

After combing her hair, she walked out of the bedroom to wash her face, but found that there were already maids waiting outside the door. However, what made her feel a little relieved was that they were not the two maids from last night, but a new pair of maids.

"Good morning, Miss."

"Morning~"

"Do you want to go wash up? Please follow me."

Then Heshia was taken to the washroom at the end of the corridor. The two maids helped to prepare towels, toothbrushes and other things. Finally, they went back to the bedroom with her to help Heshia comb her hair and put on her dress.

More than ten minutes later, when Heshia went downstairs, she found that Anneli was already waiting for her. Breakfast was also on the table. I really don't know when they prepared it.

After asking in detail, Heshia realized that the maids in the house were divided into four groups, which was almost a state of three groups rotating and one group on standby.

What a luxury, Heshia thought, these maids didn't look bad, and each of them had at least Sequence 3 strength, which was very good.

"Today I will take Tilan to visit Edes Academy." Anneli suggested.

Heshia naturally would not refuse this, so in the next two days, she was basically led by Anneli to walk around the campus, and finally gradually became familiar with this academy.

Compared with Iridium Academy, Edes Academy is undoubtedly much more luxurious. Not only are the various facilities and environments inside, the application of high-tech technology, but also the staff are fully equipped.

Moreover, the teaching in the school is roughly divided into two types. One is a required course, which means that students must attend, and the other is optional. Students can go to the classroom to find a teacher at any time. Each subject has a special classroom equipped with a special teacher, and it is open 24 hours a day to meet the students' desire to learn at any time.

"This is done to take into account that some students cannot attend every class because of many things, so the time will be more flexible." Anelli explained.

For example, the course "Intermediate Theory of Aijieka" is mostly theoretical, so it is not required that all students attend together. You only need to complete the first four required classes in the first month after the start of school. As for when to study, you can choose by yourself. It is a typical optional course.

But the course "Super Job Combat" has practical training content. Basically, there is one theory and one practical training. Students are required to be present during the practical training. This is also the course where students in the class meet the most.

There are many similar situations. Generally speaking, about three-quarters of the courses are optional, while the remaining one-quarter are required courses, and they are concentrated on Friday and Saturday.

"As for why there are classes on Saturday, it is of course because many students have other things to do on weekdays." Anneli explained while holding Heshia's hand.

"For example, Lilim, the actress who has recently become popular in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region, is a new student at our Edes Academy. She usually has to perform in shows everywhere, so she can only come to the academy two days a week."

"There is also the successor of the Gray Fox Group, Happleton. His father had an accident some time ago and is in the hospital. Now he has a lot of things to deal with in the company, so he doesn't have much time to come to school."

"In addition, there are some students who like to travel and often fly around. It's unbearable for them to stay in school every day."

"Ordinary students must go to class together at a certain time because this can save teachers and resources, but Edes Academy does not lack teachers, classrooms and other resources, so it will not be so rigid. On the contrary, because you may only have 4-5 classmates around you when you are in class, the teacher can put more energy and attention on you and get better educational results."

So that's it. Heshia finally understood what a rich and wealthy academy is.

The two days of adapting to the environment passed quietly, and the third day was the opening ceremony, which was also an event that all freshmen must attend.

————

The spacious room, the clean floor, the black curtains on both sides were hung with dark blue rose knots, and about 1,000 students stood in the open space below the stage. They came from all over the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region. There were not only geniuses from the north and south districts of the Emerald Skirt, but also peers from other star system space stations, and even students from another habitable planet who came to study.

At this moment, the school director on the stage was giving a speech, introducing the origin and wishes of Edes Academy as usual.

"Our Edes Academy was originally split from Saint Ingo Academy, and it also represents a certain rebellious and unyielding spiritual quality..." He spoke slowly.

"The power of the world is strong. There are countless mediocre people. They don't think, but just follow the crowd blindly, waste their lives, and are content with the status quo."

"Maybe they once had some special ideas or ideals, but they never took the first step. Why? Because they are afraid of becoming different from now on."

"In a large group, it takes a certain amount of courage for a person to behave differently, because they have to face all kinds of doubts and inquiries, and even explain again and again until one day you succeed and those people shut up."

"Walking a different path requires a price and is confusing, because you can no longer hide in the group and rely on the cover of everyone."

"But if you don't even want to pay this price, and want to reach the admirable peak among flowers and praise, then you are undoubtedly dreaming."

"Give up these childish fantasies, give up the fantasy of wanting to behave like a moral perfect person, what you have to do must not be shaken by the gossip of others, cross the barriers formed by countless mediocre people around you, don't be disturbed and confused by them, sort out your own thoughts and goals, and embark on your own true path."

"Although our Edes Academy was born from St. Ingo Academy, this does not mean that we will always be inferior to others. Challenging traditions and breaking through ourselves is our long-cherished wish."

"This is the end of my speech. After that, please invite the freshman representative, Tilan, to come on stage." He put down the manuscript in his hand, glanced at the young men and women present, and then walked off the stage amid applause.

Is it my turn...

In a corner of the backstage, the girl was wearing a black and blue dress today. She took a deep breath and then slowly stepped onto the high stage that everyone was paying attention to. She

had long, smooth black hair and a blue hairpin pendant on one side. The dress she wore was very different from the students present. It was a restrained black base with dark blue embellishments on the sleeves and neckline, and a blue butterfly scarf on the chest. With her slightly slender figure, moving waist, and matte black stockings, this girl had a mysterious and quiet charm that surprised the students and teachers present.

But when she spoke, her voice was so soft and gentle that even from a distance, it sounded as if it was whispering in your ear. Perhaps after today, many people would not remember what the girl said, but only her soft and gentle voice would make people think of it.

The hall fell silent, as if besides the voice of the girl on the stage, even the sound of feathers falling to the ground could be heard.

At first, Heshia didn't notice this situation. She just concentrated on reciting the manuscript she had written in advance. But when she was halfway through, the increasingly quiet scene finally made her look up.

What a dreamy pair of eyes, like a deer stepping out of the woods for the first time, timid with a hint of agility, but with a touch of strength in the bottom of the eyes, the blue in them seemed like the light wandering in the night, making people indulge in it.

Getting rid of the shadows of the past and gradually encouraged by friends and teachers, the girl finally blossomed with her own special colors. Unlike her sister Themisia's pride and breathtaking beauty, Heshia is so introverted and quiet. Under the stable and gentle surface, there is an extremely tough heart.

She will still be shy or a little timid, but this will not stop the heart that has been freed from the shackles. Perhaps the girl who still retains this will be more lovable.

After the speech, after a long silence, countless applause rang out. The various doubts and challenges that she thought she would face never came, which made the girl feel at ease and worried.

I was relieved that this level was finally passed, but I was worried whether she had really passed the challenge, after all, it didn't feel real at all.
