She is a cry...
Chapter 332 An unforgettable night, like a distant dream.
On the third night of the Winter Festival competition, 48 contestants were eliminated after three rounds of elimination, leaving only 8 people. This night, various dark horses and surprises also broke out.
Saint Ingo's Seviara easily defeated Xia Kui, the first in the Peaks. Tilan, who was previously considered to be a participant in the experience, eliminated the favorite to win the championship,
Sweetway. The remaining eight contestants are Seviara, Wokard, and Medi from Saint Ingo Academy, Tilan, Stacia, Levito from Edes Academy, Krenqin from Crystal Grid Academy, and Seraphiel from Lelisa Academy.
Among the eight people, there are 3 from Saint Ingo, 2 from Edes, and only 1 from Thunderbolt, Crystal Grid, and Lelisa.
Although the eight players who made it to the finals were all strong, there were some regrettable matches during the elimination process. For example, Sweetvi and Ahmed, who were eliminated by Tilan, were not weak. If they had not happened to meet her, they would have had no problem entering the finals.
Bennett, Xiao Yicheng, and others who were originally more optimistic about Edes had to be eliminated early because they met Levito and Seviara during the elimination. On the contrary, Stacia was lucky and did not meet too difficult opponents, and advanced to the final.
"Tonight's game is over. Next, please look forward to the final showdown of the individual competition tomorrow night and the birth of the champion!" The host's excited voice brought the night's competition to an end.
However, the nightlife in the city is estimated to have just begun. I don't know how many people will not be able to sleep tonight. Some are rushing to prepare for the next day's press release, some are reviewing and analyzing tonight's battle situation and the reasons for failure, and some are also because of regrets and discomfort, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep.
"Here, this is a bouquet for Tilan. Can you take a photo standing next to this sign?"
After the competition, the students in the academy surrounded Tilan, cheering enthusiastically and talking about various things. Some even hoped to take a photo together.
Unable to resist everyone's enthusiasm, Tilan took the bouquet of white and light green lily of the valley and stood in the middle. Next to her were the students of Edes who participated in the competition tonight. Some of them stood, and some half-knelt on one knee so that the photographer could take pictures of them all.
After that, it was the group photo requested by the students. Tilan stood in the middle again. Behind and beside her were classmates with smiling faces, some of whom were even making gestures.
In the end, everyone felt that something was still missing, so someone moved the throne placed in the preparation hall. The back of the chair was decorated with black velvet swan cloth and embedded with wooden nails with dark blue rose patterns. The armrests on both sides and the chair itself were made of fine walnut wood. The surface was finely frosted and dark gray and almost black, forming a layered change with the fabric of the back of the chair.
Tilan changed into her usual dark blue and simple dress, sat in a chair, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands, and asked everyone to take pictures and group photos.
"Sure enough, it feels good this way~"
"When Tilan sits on the chair, there is a special charm, as if she is looking at the legendary characters in the ancient scroll."
"I'll take a picture too, as a souvenir."
Everyone surrounded the girl in the middle, saying all kinds of things, and then asked Tilan to change her sitting posture slightly, with her hands flat on the armrests. After dozens of minutes, everyone was satisfied and let little Tilan go.
The reason why I call her little Tilan is that among all the fourth-grade contestants, Tilan is indeed the youngest, only 17 years old, not yet an adult.
"Okay, don't bully Tilan anymore, she is tired tonight, let her have a good rest." Stacia stood in front of everyone, blocking the view, helping Tilan out, and then everyone dispersed.
"Ahahaha, well, it's really late today, goodbye Tilan, have a good rest tonight~" One by one, the students waved goodbye to Tilan, and then everyone left from the venue.
After leaving the venue, Tilan found that there were already people waiting for her, and there were quite a few.
"Here, Tilan~" Avni stood in front of the motorcade and waved to her. Behind her was a luxurious large motorcade, including sixteen specially modified hovercrafts, six standing military mechas, and patrolling and escorting autonomous units could be vaguely seen in the sky.
Tilan walked over, Avni took her shoulder, and then talked about the reason for the motorcade.
One part of it was the defense force of Edes Academy, one part was the special forces assigned by the government, and two cars were the accompanying personnel of the Tribunal.
There were so many security forces, one was because of the importance of Edes Academy itself, and the other was because Tilan was a singer, and the government had the responsibility to protect her, so they would dispatch personnel to escort her. In addition, tonight was the Winter Festival Competition, and there were about hundreds of thousands of spectators on the scene. The situation was complicated, so there would be more security forces.
"I heard from Teacher N that in order to avoid the chaos when leaving the venue with a large number of spectators, you were asked to stay in the venue for an extra hour before leaving. Are you a little hungry?" After Avni and Tilan got back into the car, they took out a piece of steaming toast from a box beside them and handed it to the girl.
"I originally wanted to make a big meal, but it's not convenient to eat in the car. Let's just replenish some nutrition first and go back to school."
While the two were talking, the convoy slowly set off. There were police officers leading the way in front and mecha guards on the sides. It was extremely safe. Occasionally, some speeding gangs drove by and whistled at the convoy, as if they wanted to arouse the attention of the people in the convoy's protection. Unfortunately, they didn't know which hovercraft Tilan was riding, and many of their expressions were just useless.
After eating the bread, Tilan sat in the car, her head leaning against the window, her eyes slightly closed, and began to take a nap. Seeing this, Avni also helped her put on a thin blanket, and then looked at the sleeping girl carefully.
The neon lights between the high-rise buildings along the way became soft and hazy after passing through the sunglasses-like car windows. Scattered and mottled blocks of light fell on Tilan's face, and then gradually passed by, with a few faint shadows turning and outlining the curve of her cheeks.
I never get tired of looking at her, Avni thought, and even wanted to gently touch the green cheeks with fine hair.
Inadvertently, a few strands of hair slipped from her forehead, slightly covering the girl's eyebrows and small nose bridge. Avni hooked her fingers and straightened the hair, but this tiny movement still made Tilan open her eyes. She blinked gently, and when she saw Avni in front of her, she showed a faint happiness, and then closed her eyes again, with her nose slightly up and down, and fell into a stable nap.
Avni has always envied this ability to fall asleep as soon as she wants to. In the past, she often saw Tilan taking a nap in the small office on the side of the club activity room, and she felt at ease just sitting next to her.
Unfortunately, since taking over as the student council president, Tilan rarely goes there for a nap, and Avni and other members of the club rarely see the girl sleeping.
The world outside the hovercraft is still bustling, filled with all kinds of noises, including the music played by advertisements, the sound of hovercrafts and motorcycles whizzing by, the sound of people walking and talking on the roadside, the occasional sound of propellers flying in the sky, and the prompt sound of traffic lights at various intersections, etc.
But the car, separated by only a window, seems very quiet, as if the outside world is just a silent picture. The black-haired and soft girl in the car quietly leans against the window and takes a nap, just like a distant and beautiful fairy tale in childhood.
