Chapter 544: Tilan's solo in a black dress
In the small concert hall, the girl was wearing a dress, holding a violin, and playing it gently. Her
slender legs were matched with black stockings. As the bow was pulled, the hem of her skirt with black rose pleated floral decorations swayed slightly. The whiteness between the hem of her skirt and her stockings was particularly moving. Although the style was not revealing and was even slightly retro, it always triggered endless reverie.
The only light shone on the girl's cheek. Her eyes were slightly closed. When she played to the end of the music, she slowly opened them. Then the bow was slowly retracted, and the long tail sound gradually ended.
After the performance, Heshia put down the violin, and the other lights in the concert hall gradually turned on, showing the other members present who were listening to the performance.
Speaking of which, Heshia's height is actually not short, but she usually wears long skirts and does not wear height-increasing shoes or high heels. Compared with her companions around her, she looks a little petite and cute.
Today, encouraged by all the members, she changed into a black short dress, which immediately looked taller with the high-padded leather shoes.
As for why she played specially, it was because the "Qi Ye Hua" club led by the girl had just finished a month of special training. With the help of Heshia and a group of professional instructors, everyone's abilities have improved a lot. So at the end, in order to express celebration and to meet everyone's wishes, Heshia agreed to change into a special black rose dress to play.
At the end, she stood in the middle and took a group photo with everyone. The black rose decoration on the dress was consistent with the pattern outlined on the side of the violin, which had a dark and elegant style.
After the event, everyone played for a while before slowly dispersing.
Sitting on a wooden chair, Heshia raised her legs slightly, stepped on the horizontal bar under the chair, and then put the book on her knees and flipped through it leisurely.
At this time, apart from her, there were only a few people in the room sorting out documents, and they would probably leave soon.
Suddenly remembering something, Heshia looked at the schedule hanging on the wall not far away.
"Next Tuesday is the time for the assessment confrontation, right?" She was referring to the confrontation between the divas that Arnansa had set at the time.
"Yes, President, everyone has worked hard for this confrontation." A member answered while holding a packed file bag.
"What are the current situations of the other divas?" Heshia thought about it and didn't want to ask Orles and others directly, so she asked the members of the club.
"The star clusters of the other divas are also being prepared, but don't worry."
"Why?" Heshia suddenly became curious. Although she did help everyone improve their strength, considering that each diva has many big figures behind her, it is easy for other divas to do such training.
"That's because, in our hearts, Lady Heshia Tilan is the best, so she won't fail." The members who stayed in the room answered confidently.
Even Heshia didn't have this kind of confidence. Although she would not deliberately belittle herself, she would not be blindly narcissistic. After all, the Federation is so big that it is too common for a few geniuses to emerge.
Moreover, even if she was extremely talented, didn't she encounter a strong enemy like Sevilla in high school? In Heshia's opinion, there should be similar people in other star fields, but she just didn't meet them.
"Are you too confident? It's not good to underestimate the enemy like this." The girl reminded.
"No, we have a detailed and thorough understanding and comparison. We are not saying this without any basis." A girl with bright yellow hair raised her finger. Her name is Leisa, and she is a core member of the club responsible for external communication.
"Can you tell me about it?" Heshia was also interested.
"Of course." She walked to the girl confidently, bowed first, and then stood up to introduce the current situation.
"I grew up in the Green Moon Star Region, and I know all the famous people here. I also often come into contact with people of my age who were born into wealthy families."
"In fact, everyone is very concerned about the situation of the several singing ladies, and we often exchange information at gatherings. It's just that the president doesn't have much contact with this, so he doesn't know much."
"Let's talk about the most popular and most followed lady Orles first." She picked up the remote control in her hand, clicked on the projection screen in the room, and showed a group photo. It was the star cluster that belonged to 'Silver Sky Snow' Orles.
"Lady Orles was born in the famous Ice Elves Shitide family. This is a very old Ice Elves family. It was also one of the three major duke families among the Ice Elves at that time. Its family emblem is 'Platycodon Flower Sword'."
"Because of this relationship, the star cluster members around Lady Orles are almost all children from the elf families." After saying that, Leisha swiped the screen and showed the situation of these members one by one.
"Is there any problem with this?" The girl thought of something, but was not sure.
"Of course there are problems. These children of noble families tend to value their status and are very exclusive. It is difficult for other students to stand out in their star clusters."
"And because these noble families are often related to each other, it is very troublesome to explain things to each other."
"For example, if you assign her fewer tasks and assign me more tasks, I will feel unbalanced and think that this is due to some kind of favoritism based on the closeness of the relationship."
"Anyway, it is difficult for even normal people to show their talents in it."
"So I said that although Lady Orles is very good, the star cluster she belongs to is not to be feared. This is a victory."
Hearing this, Heshia tilted her head and could probably guess what she was going to say next.
"What about the other singers?" Although she guessed, the girl was also curious about what interesting things this person could say.
"Then there is Miss Shui Yanqing, the 'Wind Calyx Fruit'. Although Miss Shui Yanqing has no identity prejudice against the club members, due to her special nature, some students with better family backgrounds will not approach her. This has led to many of her team members being geniuses from unconventional backgrounds. Although their own strengths are not bad, it is difficult for them to work together because most of these geniuses are used to working alone."
"Also, due to the lack of participation from mainstream family children, Miss Shui Yanqing has limited knowledge of the upper echelons of the Federation and has little power to rely on. She relies heavily on the giant companies that she is on good terms with. This strong dependence also adds a lot of constraints. Because she has no other choice, it is difficult for these companies to refuse when they make requests to Miss Shui Yanqing. Many members with corporate backgrounds have also been added to the team. These two wins."
There is some truth to this, the girl thought.
"The next one is Miss Blanche. Although Miss Blanche, the 'Golden Sun Grass', is not strong among the new generation of singers, I think she will be your biggest opponent, President."
"First of all, the people around Miss Blanche are almost all geniuses from the Northwest Star Region. They are very united internally, and because there are very few singing girls in the Northwest Star Region, they will not have any other choice, so their loyalty is extremely high. Even if Miss Blanche herself does not pay much attention to it, the people around her have actually gone through several rounds of elimination and competition. Most of the members who can really appear beside her are talented elites from the Northwest Star Region."
"And because of her background, Miss Blanche does not care about her family background, which gives hope to many civilian geniuses. They will never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if Miss Blanche does not urge them, they will train hard to keep the position that many people are eyeing now."
"Maybe the economic situation in the Northwest Star Region is not good, but this brings another situation, that is, most of the people who break free from that environment are mentally tough. They are either geniuses themselves, or they are extremely adventurous and dare to take risks." "
Their tolerance for adverse conditions is also much stronger than that of students from other star regions. Now in the Central Star Region, most of the students who can save the most living expenses are from the Northwest Star Region."
After listening, Heshia nodded slightly.
"It seems that I am not as good as Blanche."
Although the members of the Four Leaf Crystal are excellent, Blanche selects talents from all the Northwest Star Regions, not just one Star Region.
"President, you are too modest." Leisa said that she had something to say.
"Although I have said a lot about the advantages of Lady Blanche's team, it does not mean that we have no chance."
"First of all, due to economic problems, the education level of the northwestern star regions is not as good as that of the central star region and other prosperous star regions. Perhaps the basics can be made up after entering university, but it will definitely take more energy and time. In addition, although there are many talented elites around Miss Blanche, they also lack an absolute core, someone who can bring everyone together as one."
"Generally speaking, this role is played by a singer, but Miss Blanche is still young and inexperienced. If she wants to do well, it may take several years to slowly adapt and learn."
"But we are different. The president is not only a singer with excellent strength and character, but also a core that we all recognize and trust completely. In terms of mobility and execution, she is much stronger than other star clusters. Probably only Miss Pulin's star cluster can barely compare with us in this regard. This is the third victory." After all, both of them came out of the four-leaf crystal, and Heshia and Pulin have many similarities.
Looking back now, there are not many star regions like Yotsuba Jing where the struggle is so fierce in high school. Most of the top academies will not have such a high-intensity competition.
"In addition, in terms of member selection, our scope is also wider. Except for the absence of orcs, we have gathered almost all members of major mainstream groups, which makes us have very few shortcomings and can take into account various situations." The talented students of the orcs are now almost all gathered in Elklu. Unless she graduates, the students of the orc faction will not join other singing star groups.
"Okay, it's a bit exaggerated." The girl smiled and shook her head. Although she has an advantage at present, it should not be as exaggerated as she said. In addition, she is not the kind of person who opens champagne in advance. It is always good to be humble and prepare more.
After that, Heshia talked to the members in the room about the current situation of other singing girls in the school. It was getting late, so everyone slowly dispersed.
After leaving, the other members looked at Leisha with envy along the way. Although her words just now were exaggerated, it is undeniable that this performance also successfully left a strong impression in front of Heshia.
If I had known earlier, I would have prepared more information and things in this regard. Next time, when the president asks, I can talk about it endlessly.
At present, the star cluster is just starting out, and many positions have not been completely determined. There are also many people competing with each other.
After the others left, a familiar voice sounded in the girl's ears.
"I like that girl just now. She is very ambitious and motivated." Themisia said that this is her favorite style.
"I can see that." The girl stood up and went to the window to enjoy the breeze and the scenery.
"Don't you like it?" Themisia asked.
"I don't hate it. After all, she is doing these things for the team and has put in the effort. It's normal for her to want to show off in front of me and get recognition."
"It's just that I'm a little worried that if I treat her too well, this atmosphere will spread in the team. In the future, it may happen that in order to attract my attention, she will deliberately do some unnecessary things." The girl sighed.
She is no longer the girl who knew nothing five years ago. She has a deep understanding of human nature.
"You think a lot. If it were me, I would just punish them severely once the situation you mentioned occurred, and draw a clear red line for them."
"So, we are different people."
"You have your style and habits, and I have my ideas."
"I care more about those members who are not very good at showing, but still work silently and patiently. Their achievements should also be seen, and they are also worthy of praise. If everyone has to spend extra time on showing results and performance when working, then this team will sooner or later change." "
Many things should be stopped in the budding period. It is often too late to suppress them after you indulge them. People will have path dependence."
Although Heshia's growth is far less smooth than Themisia's and she has experienced many ups and downs, this also makes her look at things more carefully and profoundly than her sister.
"Although I don't want to admit it, I suddenly find that you have grown up, Tilan." Themisia also realized the problem at this time.
"It's rare that my sister is not stubborn." Heshia's mood suddenly improved, and she wanted to tease her proud sister.
"I'm not stupid. I'm not as stubborn as you." Themisia snorted in the girl's mind.
...
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Are you free tonight? Let's practice. Although we can't fight directly with our bodies, we can manipulate two phantom bodies separately, and the effect is almost the same." Themisia suggested.
"No problem."
Heshia was also curious about her sister's current combat power. In addition, she did lack a peer of the same level to practice with. After learning many skills and secrets, they were like dragon-slaying skills, and there was no room for actual combat.
The combat power of other singing girls was not as good as her. If they fought against non-singing girls of the same age, most people would not be able to let go, fearing that injuring her would cause some public opinion problems. It was probably the young man who dared to challenge her.
...
After several hours of meeting, in the underground battlefield of the mansion, two figures with almost identical appearances stood opposite each other, and they only had different eyes.
As the two slowly floated up, blue and purple magic wings slowly took shape behind them, and then there was a blue and purple track that instantly crossed the entire underground battlefield. After countless collisions, crystal fragments flew, and sparks from the collision of magic burst. Like a flash, the figures of the two crossed and appeared again and again, and then turned into phantoms and disappeared.

In an instant, the silver sword blade cut the entire battlefield diagonally into two worlds like a startled wild goose, and at the same time, a purple-red lightning also shuttled through it, brushing past the silver sword blade that cut through space, and directly hitting the figure with flying black hair in the air.
The silver blade shattered, the hair fell, and after the two crossed positions, they stood with their backs to each other. The silver sword in Heshia's hand turned into fragments and scattered, and a trace of blood flowed down her wrist. On the other side, a girl with black hair and purple eyes stood, the dark red blade in her hand slowly dissipated, a trace of blood flowed down her brow, and then her eyes slowly closed and disappeared.
"You win." Themisia's figure slowly disappeared in the underground space.
Although her talent was not lower than Heshia, after all, she had less accumulation of several years. At the last moment of crossing, she was hit by an unfamiliar move and missed the victory.
In the basement, the girl landed on the ground again, her dress blowing away the dust with a weak airflow. The bloodstains on her body disappeared, and the black short dress she was wearing was still intact. However, in this underground battlefield, there were sword marks and gullies everywhere. The most obvious one even tore the entire venue apart, which was extremely hideous.
Yes, she won.
The girl looked at the palms and backs of her hands, and some strange emotions arose in her heart. Unlike the tragic victory a few years ago, this time she defeated Themisia, the once peerless genius, in a completely equal situation.
Perhaps, she is not as weak as she thought? Tilan suddenly realized this.
