Chapter 252 Pre-match preparation
It was the rainy season in June again. Sitting in the heavy gray steel aircraft, Tilan looked down at the world outside through the round window.
The gray rain curtain enveloped the world, and the water droplets washed the wings, sliding across the round window glass and disappearing, leaving behind ever-changing water marks.
Leaning on the seat, Tilan closed her eyes slightly and opened them again, recalling the days she had spent in Yuanting in her mind, and then remembered the rainy season a year ago, which was also a gray afternoon. She stood in the enrollment hall crowded with countless students, moving forward in the fog and hesitation like a small boat, trying to grasp the possible glimmer of hope.
Time flies, and a year has passed.
After filtering the ups and downs of this year in my mind, my thoughts finally stopped at the Winter Festival Party.
The things that happened when I followed my parents to Saint Ingo Academy when I was a child are already very vague, and I only have a rough memory. The venue that night seemed to be particularly boiling, and my sister Themisia flew in the night sky, like a shining star, making people unable to take their eyes away.
The brilliance and height far surpassing her own made her envious, but also made her feel a sense of loss. She probably would never be able to catch up with her sister, and could only curl up in a corner and watch silently.
Since that night, she has become much more silent.
Normally, she should be happy and proud that her sister has become powerful, but she does not have such emotions. Perhaps she realized very early that she is herself and Themisia is Themisia. She has never thought of relying on Themisia, and no matter how dazzling Themisia is, it cannot change the fact that she is weak and timid.
It's really strange. The girl closed her eyes and slowly recalled when did the relationship between the sisters become like this.
It seems to be in junior high school. After Themisia entered junior high school, she began to practice the extraordinary sequence, and she was still in elementary school at that time, so the two went to different schools and gradually separated. Because of her talent, Themisia became more and more confident and powerful, and she increasingly disagreed with Heshia, who was timid and submissive. There was probably a kind of anger in her because in Themisia's view, Heshia's hesitation and timidity were unnecessary self-consumption and self-inflicted trouble.
As a result, people with two different personalities and values gradually drifted apart and their emotions faded.
It's not that Themisia was not good to her, but in Themisia's world, Heshia only occupied a very small part. As a genius and chief of Saint Ingo, Themisia had seen the broader and upper side of the world. She had greater ambitions and demands, and the things she pursued were no longer something that an ordinary family could help.
All the things in the past, whether it was classmates, family, or everything in the past, quickly became insignificant. It was also from then on that she rarely discussed things with her family, because it was useless to talk to her family about the situation she was facing. In life, they became more and more distant, and only talked more when they went home on important holidays.
My sister should have been very lonely at that time, and this thought vaguely emerged in the girl's mind.
Why did Themisia choose to commit suicide rather than merge with herself? Where did she learn the truth from? Why did she come up with this dangerous idea? Heshia didn't know all this. Perhaps only by completely defeating Saint Ingo and then checking their internal archives and databases could the truth of the year be restored.
However, it is certain that Themisia should have decided and implemented this plan alone. If there were other people or organizations to help, Heshia would not have encountered the danger of almost dying a year ago. In
this regard, Themisia is very bold. She is not afraid that my sister will die halfway. The girl shook her head.
But thinking about Themisia's confident and determined character, she should think that the probability of such an accident is too small, so there is no need to consider it. After all, when she committed suicide, her father and mother were there, and they would definitely take care of her sister Heshia.
Things change, and no one expected that Themisia, as a proud genius in the world, would commit suicide, and her mother was too sad and depressed because of this. She raised Heshia until she was 15 years old, and her father also left quietly.
As various thoughts rose, the scenery outside the window gradually changed. As the aircraft headed south, it broke through the thick dark clouds and gradually came to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the blue sea below also emerged.
This time, returning to Edes Academy, it was the beginning of the battle. In the battle against the Swarm of Bees Academy at the end of the month, she could now control the extent of her talent and ability, so that it could only be exerted to the level of a star-level singer, and was equivalent to "Flame Candy" Pulin Koko.
If she won this time, it would also be a perfect end to her first-year study career. I just don't know what Pulin Koko would think when she saw her.
She had only met him once, and they had a brief chat under the introduction of Butis. Maybe Pulin didn't know that she had joined Edes Academy, because during the Glass Dream, she only told him her code name at the time, "Dantrian".
This meeting would probably surprise her. Thinking of this, the girl also had some expectations in her heart.
Blazing blue flames gushed out, making a roaring noise in the air. As the aircraft gradually came to a steady stop inside the Edes Academy, these thick square nozzles gradually turned off.
Carrying a simple suitcase, Tilan walked down and waved to the staff behind her. Then the steel-gray aircraft took off again and soared into the sky.
The holiday is over, and it's time to start working. Looking at the still lively and prosperous South District 1, the girl thought to herself, and in the shadow behind her, a big fluffy spider also quietly poked its head out and looked around curiously.
Considering that she would stay at Edes Academy for a while in the future, Tilan simply brought the big spider and the indigo snake with her.
After returning to her residence, Anneli was startled by the big spider at Tilan's feet. Fortunately, the girl quickly explained and picked up the big spider, which slightly dispelled Anneli's fear.
"It's really rare, and it's surprising that Tilan would keep such a fierce pet." Anneli patted her chest, and then carefully looked at the big spider in Tilan's arms.
"It's a high-level fourth-order spider, right? I think this guy is quite powerful."
"Well, withering sequence 4 ghost-faced spider." The girl caressed and comforted it while introducing the origin of this guy.
"Alas, a spider of the withering sequence is quite rare." Anneli bent down to carefully observe the big spider in Tilan's arms, and then this guy jumped easily and jumped on Anneli's head, scaring the silver-haired lady to scream.
"Woo, quick! Let it down!" She jumped up in shock and wanted to shake off the big spider, but she couldn't get rid of it.
"Stop." Seeing the scene in a panic, Tilan pointed at the big spider on Anneli's head with one hand. Its body stiffened, fell off Anneli, and hit the ground, making a hard sound.
After picking up the big spider again and moving it away from Anneli, the silver-haired lady finally recovered her breath.
"Huh, so scary, I'm most afraid of spiders and snakes." She looked at the big spider in Tilan's arms, still feeling scared.
"This guy has been a little naughty recently, I will teach it a lesson."
Tilan tapped the big spider in her arms, thought for a while, then took off the beautiful and slender hairband behind her head, tied up the big spider, put it in the closet in the upstairs bedroom, and closed it, then went downstairs again.
"Okay, it should be quiet for a few days now." After comforting Anneli, the two sat down again to discuss the upcoming competition at the end of the month.
"Regarding the competition and song selection, Avni has almost prepared everything." Anneli opened the record board in her hand and showed it to Tilan.
"There are three stages in this confrontation. In the first stage, both sides will play the songs they prepared to mobilize the atmosphere on the scene, and the judges will score according to their performance."
"Because the whole process will be broadcast live and completely open, and the judges are all senior celebrities in the music industry, it can still be guaranteed to be roughly fair."
"The second stage is the warm-up battle. According to the score of the first stage, the number of combatants on each side will be different, which means that the higher the score in the first stage, the more people will be on the stage." "
At this time, the two sides will send representatives to draw lots and draw five themes. Then there will be five 1-on-1 battles. During the battle, you can use the abilities of the song girl series to provide blessings for your own members, but the songs played must be related to the theme, otherwise it will be considered invalid and you will be judged as losing."
"For each victory in the second stage, you will get a special resonance crystal, which will be used for your band to enhance its abilities in the third stage."
"The third stage is the decisive battle. At this time, the band members and combat members of both sides will appear on the stage to fight. If all the band members of your side are defeated and eliminated, it means failure."
"That means that everything depends on the result of the third stage, right?" Tilan thought.
"That's right, but winning the first and second stages will also significantly enhance our strength. More members will have resonance crystals with amplification effects. If we lose the first two stages, it will be easy to snowball." Anneli explained.
"In the third stage, the combat members will be blessed by the band members and their strength will be improved, but they must also protect their own band members. Once all of them fall, it will be a failure."
"In general, this competition is still a test of the overall comprehensive strength of the club, as well as the ability to cooperate and unite." "
In addition, each student can only participate in one competition in a semester, which means that we can't borrow members of the previous 'Hat and Dagger' club at will. We can only rely on the 'Hua Shan Opera' club or other students who have not yet appeared."
"It's okay for now. After all, it's the competition at the end of the semester, so there's no need to save people for the later competitions."
Tilan thought for a while, and then asked about the arrangements of Hua Shan Opera.
"Avni will definitely go on stage, but she is currently only Sequence 4, and she will appear as a band member instead of a combat member. Because she has been training in singing and dancing since she was a child, her strength is not inferior to that of the senior members." Anelli explained.
"The Huashan Opera Club can now provide three first-line musicians, that is, members who will definitely not be bad on stage, but the quota for band members is six, that is, if Tilan and Avni are included, there is still one person missing. Although there are other people in the club who can make up for it, their strength is not as good as the top three musicians."
"Only three?" Tilan understood that the first-line that Anelli mentioned refers to members who have obtained the professional rating of advanced musicians. Such members are already qualified to join mainstream first-line commercial orchestras, and there are not many in high school.
Learning music is a boring thing that requires a lot of time to practice, and in the extraordinary job introduction, it is undoubtedly more energy to study music and sequence level at the same time, so there are not many people in this area. In the previous 'Huashan Opera' club, a total of eight people obtained the qualification of advanced musician rating and also reached Sequence 5.
But with graduation, five of them went to higher education and left, and now there are only three people left in the club who have the qualifications and strength.
"Are there any other music clubs in the academy?" Tilan pressed her eyebrows lightly.
"No, Edes Academy is not good at music. Among the top six academies, only Saint Ingo, Swarm of Bees, and Lelitha are involved in the training of singers."
"If we really want to talk about expertise, it's still Saint Ingo and Swarm of Bees, because Lelitha Academy's music is only focused on classical music and hymns. They are a conservative church academy and don't like rock and pop music."
"According to our information, even if the last senior class graduated, Swarm of Bees can now produce 16 first-class musicians, 2 more than Saint Ingo. This is because Swarm of Bees is a girls' school, and the noble ladies have always had a tradition of cultivating musical expertise, so the base is very large."
"And the leader is 'Flame Sugar' Pulin Koko." Tilan added at the right time, feeling that it would not be so easy to preserve strength and win this time.
"As for the combat members, there is no need to worry. In Edes Academy, even if the 'Hat and Dagger' club cannot play, there are still many clubs and students who are proficient in combat."
"But as for the musicians... it seems that we have to issue a notice to recruit them. Maybe there are also those lone rangers who have not joined the music club but are actually good at music." Tilan decided.
"Let's issue a notice first. If it doesn't work, we can only find members who are slightly inferior to the first-line to replace them."
"There are still 20 days before the competition. We have to start preparing. We will try to gather all the members before the weekend, and then start rehearsals and get familiar with the members and partners."
"Okay, I will draft the notice now." Anneli nodded.
"I will go to Avni tomorrow to discuss the music for the finals and ask her what she is good at."
"Considering the importance of keeping a trump card in the battle, I will try to let Avni take the lead in the first one or two stages, so that I can win by surprise in the third stage."
"Of course, this is also an ideal situation. If I can't hold on in the first stage, then I can only be exposed in advance." Tilan shook her head.
If the first stage requires the talent of a singing girl to fight, then the third stage requires more than just the talent of a star-level talent.
'Flame Candy' Pulin Koko, the girl silently recited this name in her heart, and recalled the night when the rain washed the red girl who descended from the sky, and her singing spread like wildfire underground, making people sway and burn.
I wonder who will be better this time between fire and frost, or will they be deadlocked because of their talents.
