Chapter 67: Stay True to Your Heart

Chapter 67: Adhere to one's heart.

After entering Heshia's home, Fernandi looked around. Perhaps he didn't need to observe too carefully to find out that her family's financial situation was not good.

In the corridor behind the gate, there was a four-jet motorcycle. On both sides of the thick and wide tires, there were jets that could float and take off. This kind of motorcycle can carry people and move quickly. Because of its small size, it is particularly flexible and is loved by many people.

However, looking at the dust on the surface of the motorcycle and the worn and old shell, this motorcycle may be older than both Heshia.

"That was bought by my father before. He used to like riding this to work, but later it broke down and he kept it there." The girl saw Fernandi staring at the motorcycle and thought he was also a passionate enthusiast, so she stopped.

"'Crossbow-Y2' is indeed very old, but it is also a classic model." Fernandi thought of his youthful years. Although he no longer pays attention to many new models nowadays, this old model can be recognized at a glance.

After a few simple words, the two walked into the house. Heshia first took off her small leather shoes and put on cool slippers. She stepped on them with her toes wrapped in white stockings. She walked through the hall and squatted in front of the cabinet beside her. She found a pair of large slippers for temporary use, and then took them out for Fernandi to use.

After the other party sat down, she continued to heat up the tea, and then sat on the cool mat sofa opposite not far away.

The ceiling light in the hall was bright yellow with a hint of warm color, making the house look less cold. Although the room was generally clean, a thin layer of dust accumulated in some corners.

The girl was usually busy with her studies and didn't have much time to take care of it, and the household robot was too expensive, so she had to do it this way.

Anyway, there were no guests visiting on weekdays, so she would save some energy and time. This is what Heshia said to herself, but today was an exception.

Fernandi was not too surprised by such an environment. Although he was now working at Edes Academy, he had lived a difficult life when he was young. He knew that ordinary people could not devote a lot of energy to maintaining the so-called "cleanliness and tidiness".

After taking a sip of tea, he looked at the gray-haired girl opposite him and continued to speak.

"I'm sorry that I contacted Heshia only now, but something happened in the middle that delayed me."

"If I had notified you earlier, maybe Heshia wouldn't have been so embarrassed." He apologized first.

"But choosing a school is an important thing in life after all. I want to introduce the advantages of Edes Academy in detail, and then Heshia will make the decision."

"Well, thank you for your understanding." Heshia wanted to know what conditions Edes Academy would give at this time. Did they really take it so seriously? After all, they were not familiar with each other, and she only revealed part of her talent.

In the Federation, almost everyone will practice the Transcendental Sequence, but about 60% of people will stay at Sequence 2, 37% will stay at Sequence 3, and the proportion of people who enter Sequence 4 is only 3%. Among Sequence 4 Transcendental people, only about 1 in 50 can be promoted to Sequence 5, and the proportion is getting more and more disparate.

Although they are all Transcendental people, a small number of people have special talents that make them particularly good at certain aspects, and can achieve the effect of doing twice the result with half the effort, or doing a hundred times the result with one effort.

For example, compared with people with freezing talents and people without talents, under the same sequence and job, people with [Excellent] talents can freeze ice cubes with magic power about 1.5 times the volume of people without talents, [Excellent] talents can make the multiple reach 2-3 times, [Rare] talents can be 3-5 times, and [Perfect] talents can be 6-10 times. As for [Legendary], they are not included in this list. They must have talents that subvert some common sense to be called [Legendary].

Talents at the [Excellent] and [Excellent] stages will make the Transcendents particularly strong in certain aspects, but they may not be of much help to their own advancement. However, when it comes to the [Rare] and [Perfect] talent abilities, as long as they advance to the Transcendental Classes related to their talent, they can get great help and the difficulty is greatly reduced.

For example, it is much easier for someone with the [Perfect] Freezing talent to advance to the Original Sequence 5 Frost Walker than for someone without any talent.

This is equivalent to telling the world that as long as you have the [Rare] talent, you will at least achieve Sequence 5 in the future, and the [Perfect] talent can at least reach Sequence 6.

There are about 1 million people in the entire Arpeggio City, and there are about 12,000 fresh graduates each year. Among them, only 7-8 people can reach the Sequence 5 stage in their lifetime, and a Sequence 6 Transcendent may only appear once every 10 years.

As mentioned above, it is not difficult for a Perfect talent to reach Sequence 6 with just a little effort. If we use the saying of picking the best tea leaves, then the admission of Heshia by Edes Academy is equivalent to picking the most talented student accumulated in the past 10 years in Arpeggio City.

Although Heshia has such a special talent, she herself does not realize how precious such a special talent is. Perhaps it is because of the existence of her sister that she has become accustomed to this kind of thing. She subconsciously thinks that if she can't even surpass her sister, she should be far away from the top. Little does she know that Themisia's talent is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Fernandi speculated on the conditions that Iris Academy offered to Heshia. He was ready to improve it by two levels to break the psychological defense of the girl in front of him.

"First of all, if Heshia enters our school, we will not only waive your tuition, but also provide a monthly subsidy of 100,000 federal coins." He estimated that Iris Academy would offer Heshia a maximum subsidy of 8,000 federal coins per month. As an admissions teacher, he knew the conditions of his peers very well.

One hundred thousand federal coins... When the girl heard this number, she didn't listen to many of the words that followed.

She counted on her fingers. Even if she worked in the most luxurious place in Arpeggio City, such as 'Glass Dream', she could not make 100,000 per month. In the past year, when she was most frugal, she only spent 900 federal coins per month. 100,000 federal coins also meant that she could live at the lowest standard for nearly 10 years.

In fact, although Edes Academy would provide subsidies to students with special talents, the standard would never be higher than 30,000 federal coins per month. This time, Fernandi asked Director Hayden to pay for it out of his own pocket after seeking the consent of Director Hayden. However, since it was not his own money, he naturally would not feel bad.

In addition, such a high subsidy was also provided in consideration of Heshia's family situation, so that she would not be too tight in high school. The cost of studying the extraordinary sequence would increase exponentially in the later stages. Many instruments, spiritual medicines, and even tutoring courses were as expensive as gold.

Some masters' professional courses might charge thousands of federal coins per hour and still be in short supply, and there were only a handful of people who could teach themselves.

"...... In addition, we have prepared a house for you in the South District. As long as you move there, you can live there directly." After a long string of words were omitted in the middle, when Heshia reacted, Fernandi had already said the latter part.

"Moving..." Although the current house is not in a good location and is still very shabby, if it really has to leave, it is a bit reluctant.

"I don't want to move now. If you must go, let's talk about it later." The girl shook her head.

"In addition, although the conditions you offer are very tempting to me, I have participated in the re-examination of Iridium Academy before. It is really difficult to refuse without any basis like this." Before leaving, Vitrina talked to her a lot and gave her a commemorative gift. Although these are just small things, it always feels wrong to abandon the other party like this. At least it is better to communicate with Iridium Academy.

"Is that so..." Hearing Heshia's refusal, Fernandi fell silent for a while.

He knew that this was not a question of whether the conditions were good or not. He was confident that the conditions he offered could not be provided by Inita Academy, and Heshia still refused, which only meant that she did not approve of such a rash behavior of breaking an appointment.

Should I say that she is naive, or that she has her own ideas and beliefs, and can actually endure such a great temptation, Fernandi thought.

Perhaps this is also a kind of strength, a kind of certainty about her future life, believing that even if she does not rely on these, she can slowly gain them in the future.

"If it is Inita Academy, I can help Heshia communicate. In fact, the Jade Skirt High School is familiar with each other, and I also know several teachers in Inita Academy."

"In this case..." Heshia thought about it and seemed to find no reason to object, so she nodded.

"Then I will take my leave for now. We will contact Heshiya after we have communicated with Iridium Academy in a few days."

"You can call me if you have any questions or problems. You can also tell us if you encounter any troubles in life. Heshiya may not understand that there are actually very few things that Edes Academy cannot do in the Jade Skirt." He stood up, straightened his clothes a little, and said goodbye to the girl confidently.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Fernandi." Heshiya also stood up to say goodbye.

After Fernandi walked out of the house, Heshiya closed the door again, then returned to the bedroom and dug out some things that had been left at the bottom of the box. There was a memory card there, which recorded the photos and images of Themisia in the school at that time.

South District 1, what a nostalgic name...

At the Winter Festival Gala that year, Themisia shone like a blooming meteor on the field and on the stage. Even many years later, she was still her idol.

Now she is about to embark on the same path. If she can shine half as brightly as her sister, she will be satisfied. It is not because she is not confident, but because she is different from Themisia. She is not so eager for that kind of light. There are more things waiting for her in life.

Whether it is making friends, raising small animals, sleeping at home, or sitting by the window reading a book, writing her own thoughts and diaries, these are what she likes more.

Not all strength is demonstrated by force, and adhering to the so-called peace also requires a stronger heart and strength.

This is her path.
