Chapter 173 Holiday Plans
It's the end of the year, and the exams in Edes Academy are gradually coming to an end. The students are also relaxing, and many of them are starting to discuss where to go. The activity room of the Dusk Band has also become lively.
The cooling air conditioner is blowing, and although the world outside the window is in the middle of the hot summer, the room is very refreshing. A group of people are sitting in various positions in the activity room in twos and threes. Some are playing card battle games, some are discussing their recent learning experiences, and some are leaning on the sofa watching the latest popular TV series while eating puffed snacks.
"So, there are so many people without realizing it." In a corner of the activity room, Tilan looked at the people in the room and lightly pressed her forehead, feeling that the development of things was not the same as she thought.
She originally thought that in Edes Academy, where elites gather, everyone must love to study, or have many elegant hobbies, specialize in certain things, etc., but in fact, these people are not so surprising in private, and they all like to eat, drink and have fun.
Perhaps I had imagined it too perfectly, the girl thought, and then walked out of the small room she often stayed in. By the way, she has a separate office, and generally others will not enter it casually. This is also a rare place where the majesty of the club president can be reflected. However, the biggest use of this room is for Tilan to take a nap. Thanks to the advancement of materials and technology, the sound insulation effect is very good now, and even if there is noise outside, it will not affect the quiet inside.
"President Tilan." Two boys were playing a card battle. Seeing the black-haired girl passing by, they immediately stood up.
In this regard, Tilan didn't know what to say. Agree directly? It feels a bit arrogant and too ostentatious. Refuse to deny? That's too humble and modest. So she had to respond with her eyes, nodded, and then continued to walk forward.
After that, such greetings happened several times, and even Allen, the "old-fashioned" in the eyes of the girl, stood up.
"Good afternoon, President Tilan."
"Why are you the same as them?" The girl asked helplessly. She knew that the man in front of her was not the kind of elf who worshipped others mindlessly. He probably thought it was fun, so he followed the trend and wanted to play a trick on her.
"Hahaha, I just respect President Tilan from the bottom of my heart. Please don't be so suspicious." As he said this, the blond and handsome young man bowed with one hand around his chest and the other hand behind his back in impeccable movements.
In response, Tilan had no choice but to continue nodding helplessly, and then looked past the person next to him and looked at the three girls sitting in the corner opposite who were chatting. They were Ruby, Dolores, and Avni.
Not long after the battle on the training ground that day, other people who were training with her also joined the Dusk Band, saying that they admired her style and so on, but the girl definitely didn't believe this. She overheard Allen "preaching" to a few people, saying that if they joined the club, they would get guidance from the beautiful and lovely black-haired girl president, and they could also learn many powerful and rare secret techniques. As they talked, the other people who were training with him were tempted. Anyway, there was nothing to lose by joining the club, so they all followed.
As for why Allen did this, it might be for fun, or it might be that he wanted to drag a few more people to take the blame, so that he would not look strange in this club, and he could slack off more.
"...That's why I'm so angry. They are always like this. If you get impatient, they will be even happier and say that you confessed without asking." Ruby held the drink in front of her, sucking on the straw while complaining about the weird colleagues she met at work before.
"It's easy for actors, especially actresses, to get jealous of each other, because if you become popular and famous, you will take away their resources, such as roles in dramas, business orders from big brands, and even the attention of other men."
"On the surface, they are very enthusiastic, but I don't know how many thoughts they have in private. It's too tiring to get along with those people." After saying that, she twirled her purple-red hair with her fingers. At this time, she saw Tilan coming over, so she raised one hand to welcome her.
"President Tilan, this way~"
The black-haired girl was walking towards the three people. At this time, the other two also turned around. Dolores smiled and nodded at Tilan as usual. The familiarity between the two did not need too many words to express, while Avni on the other side was a little unfamiliar. She seemed to want to say hello, but it was not very natural. In the end, she just nodded and did not speak.
In her previous life, Avni had always been the focus of everyone, and she was used to a slightly arrogant and cold style. Now that she has joined the club, because everyone has a good status and strength, she has lost her previous focus position and has become a little uncomfortable. In the past, she passively accepted other people's greetings, but now she has to take the initiative to show her kindness, which makes her feel uncomfortable and unaccustomed.
Fortunately, Tilan is the kind of person who is considerate, and with the talent of a singer, she can easily perceive Avni's mood, so she will not be annoyed, but just smile at her to let her not be so nervous.
Half a year ago, I was probably the same as her, always sitting in the corner, often restrained and humble, and the girl's mind was drifting with thoughts.
After sitting down, Ruby first talked about what she was talking about before, and then turned the topic to Tilan.
"President Tilan, do you like watching TV dramas? Do you have any favorite characters?"
"I watch them with my friends sometimes. I can't say which characters I particularly like, but I think some people do act very well." She used to be anxious about whether she could get into a suitable high school and worry about her life. She didn't have the energy to chase stars, so she was dragged by Lina and others to watch a few movies together.
"Well, what about your favorite singers, such as those great singers? Does Tilan have any favorites?"
"As for singers, I have listened to many songs by 'Flame Candy' Pulin Koko. As for singers from other star fields, I only know a little about 'White Swan' Odney." Speaking of which, she still has Odney's private photos in her hand. Mr. Feng Jianxue also sent her several invitations after they parted, but unfortunately she declined them all.
"Although Pulin Koko is only at the Star Glory level, she is the only singer in our Four Leaf Crystal. The previous ones have either retired or are no longer here." Ruby recalled a little. She remembered that there were several singers in the Four Leaf Crystal Star Field before, but now she thought about it carefully and found that they were all figures from decades or hundreds of years ago.
"Singers are often the most well-known in their own star field. If they can still be famous outside their star field, it depends on their hard power. There are many singers in the star field, and it is difficult for people in other star fields to see you in person, and it is difficult for them to be infected by your aura and charm. They can only spread through videos, and the effect is often less than one-tenth of the on-site effect." Ruby shook her head slightly, saying what she knew.
"Singers at the Star Glory stage do not have such great charm. It is estimated that only singers at the Moon Level can make film and television audio also have a special appeal. So generally speaking, if you want to spread your influence to other star fields, you have to be at the Moon Level or above."
"It would be great if our Four Leaf Crystal Star Field had a Moon Level singer. This way, the fame will be greater. Not only can we promote more in the economic field and expand the tourism industry that may exist, but it can also attract the attention of the Federal Central Council and allocate more funds to deal with environmental problems." Ruby finished her drink, lay on the table and complained and made a wish.
The other three people at the table, Avni seemed to be thinking about something and didn't listen at all. Tilan remained quiet, as if she had nothing to do with singing girls. Dolores thought about it and looked at Tilan again.
"Has Ruby ever tested whether she has the talent of a singing girl?" Dolores asked.
"Of course I have." She suddenly became energetic again, raised her head, and there seemed to be stars shining in her eyes.
"Who doesn't want to have this talent as an idol star? Not only me, but also many actors and singers I know will take tests every once in a while to see if good luck will come to them."
"Isn't this innate? Why do you have to test it so often?" Dolores was curious.
"No, the singing girl talent is very special. Some people may awaken at a very young age, while others may not awaken until they are adults or many years after adulthood, so everyone has a lucky mentality."
"I see."
The topic of the few people gradually turned to talent again. Ruby said that her talent also has the ability to charm others, but the power is weaker.
"People above Sequence 2 are probably immune to it, so it's not very useful. It just makes it look good, and adds some special effects to the eyes."
"What about Avni? I remember that Avni's talent is very powerful." Ruby suddenly said this, which made Avni sober up from her worries.
"My talent, uh... it's just so-so." She didn't want to say too much, and looked away.
Seeing that the arrogant goldfish girl was talking about something else, Dolores helped to divert the topic.
"What are your plans for the holiday? Do you want to come to my beach for a few days?"
"Okay, I've wanted to go for a long time. There are not many coasts with beautiful environment and clear water in the Emerald Skirt." Ruby agreed first.
"What about Tilan and Avni?"
"I have other things to do, so I may not be able to go." Tilan shook her head. She still had to deal with the things at the Iridium Academy, and she also had to take time to go to her uncle's house. The other party invited her last time.
"I also need time to calm down, so I guess I can't go." Avni also shook her head. She was anxious and sensitive recently and didn't want to go to crowded places.
"Okay then." Dolores saw that Avni was worried, so she didn't force him. However, she was a little disappointed that Tilan didn't come this time. She would probably see her next semester.
On the other side of the activity room, Jin Senke leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching the video on the projection screen and eating snacks. He was a little bored. He was puzzled. Tilan had suddenly become so respected recently that even his jokes couldn't liven up the atmosphere and became restrained.
It was probably that kid Allen who started it. Thinking of this, he glanced at the elf opposite who was discussing some secret arts with his companions, with an unhappy expression.
Although he didn't like Allen, he also admitted that this guy's parents were also well-known botanists in the federal academic circle. Bullying rashly might have a bad influence, so he gave up.
Then he turned his eyes and saw Valk who was concentrating on studying in the corner. His eyes turned.
He had heard about Valk's experience and knew that this guy had been working hard to make up for the shortcomings of his previous education, but he didn't expect that he could still read in such a noisy environment.
Valk was from District 9 North, and he hadn't been there yet... Jinsenk suddenly had an idea, so he threw down his snacks, walked over, and patted Valk's tall shoulder.
"Hey, big guy, you're still studying."
"Hello." Valk put down the study materials in front of him and looked at the young master who was approaching.
"It's vacation time, are you going back to your hometown?" Jinsenk asked.
"Yes." Valk answered honestly, and there was no need to lie.
"I want to go over and see, how about playing there? Of course, I will pay for all the expenses on the way, and I will also donate some things to support your hometown, what do you think?"
"Thank you, sure."
"Then it's settled, oh, by the way, I'm also curious, why did you join the club, I remember you didn't know Tilan before, and you didn't seem to be interested in the Twilight Age."
"Tilan is very strong, I am very convinced, learn from her, so I joined." Valk still answered honestly.
"Very strong? Well, it is rare for a freshman to advance to Sequence 4, but aren't you the same?" Jinsenk didn't understand.
Valk then shook his head and said, "It's different. She's very powerful and can see my flaws. I can't beat her."
"You can't beat her?" Jinsenk looked at Valk's iron-like muscles and tall body, and then looked at the slender and delicate black-haired girl in the distance who spoke softly. He didn't believe it.
"I guess you were fooled by Allen again. That guy's brain is quick, and you were easily fooled. Alas." He patted Valk's shoulder and sighed a little regretfully.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Since we are all members of the club, we should help each other, right? You see, I happen to have money, and you happen to lack this, so I feel I have an obligation to help my friends."
"Thank you, Jinsenk." Valk expressed his gratitude. The lives of everyone in this orphanage should be much better, and Pastor Boyce will probably be happy too.
"Haha, it's okay. I just want to go there to have some fun. By the way, I heard that the public security there is not good, and there are often fights, right?"
"The public security in the marginal areas is indeed not good, but because the area is vast and sparsely populated, there are not many fights. It's just that the black strontium area is more serious because there are many unemployed people left by the previous mining boom." Valk explained seriously.
"It's okay. I'm just interested in this. Life must always have some fun, right?"
South District 1 is the capital of the Jade Skirt. The public security force has always been sufficient. Even if some special incidents break out, they are all gunfights. There are no exciting scenes, which makes Jin Senke feel bored.
Valk, on the other hand, how did he practice his boxing skills? He practiced it from childhood. The North District 9 is poor and rarely uses guns. Moreover, because of poverty, once you are caught for illegal use of guns, you can't afford a lawyer to rescue you. You can only rely on fists and cold weapons. In this way, even if you are caught, the punishment will not be too severe and you can get out after a while.
The activity room is still bustling. In this hot summer season, everyone is planning their own vacations and looking forward to the future.
