Chapter 305 The Reward Tilan Gives Everyone
It was mid-October. On this afternoon, Tilan sat in the auditorium of the theater in the academy, watching the musical opera being performed on the stage.
In the dark theater, the only light shone in the middle of the stage. The two people hugged each other while singing and reciting the lines. Soon, fireworks burst out, and the curtain behind them opened. A series of symbolic panels slowly moved, symbolizing the burning sunset and the world in the distance.
"... So, at the end of the story, they relied on each other, left this place, and went to a distant foreign land, where they would start over and live a happy life." In the voice-over, melodious music sounded, and then the opera slowly came to an end.
Applause rang in the theater, and then the lights turned on. A group of participating students walked on stage to thank them until the subtitles and music were completely finished.
Ten minutes later, the students watching the movie in the theater gradually dispersed, and the actors began to pack up props and things, while the heroine on the stage just now walked off the stage with her skirt lifted, and walked towards a corner of the audience.
Avni came to sit next to Tilan, and the round skirt decorated with white stars, moons and various pendants slid across the seat, colliding with each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
"How do you feel, Tilan, and how are you doing?" She was wearing an off-shoulder dress, and there were scattered fireworks debris on her snow-white neck and shoulders, reflecting the light, like stars.
"It feels very good. It's difficult for me to give any suggestions, because I'm an outsider and don't know much about acting." Tilan shook her head. She was more familiar with music, but when it comes to acting, it's another field.
After hearing Tilan's answer, Avni chuckled, "It's not necessary for Tilan to give detailed comments and praises. If you think it's good, it's good."
After that, the two chatted briefly about the details of the performance on stage and some things that happened on the spot.
"There are always all kinds of accidents in stage performances, even if they have been rehearsed before, they cannot be avoided."
At this time, most people in the theater had left. Some members would wave and say hello when they passed by the two of them. After all, one of them is the current president of the opera club, and the other is a more famous singer.
"But as long as there are no loopholes in general, some small details of the accident are not a big problem." As the two talked, Avni stood up.
"Let's go to the back courtyard for a walk. It's quieter there."
Then the two stood up, walked through the corridor of the theater, walked through several corners and rooms, and came to the circular courtyard at the back. This is usually a place for actors to rest and communicate. There is an empty circular lawn in the middle, and the surrounding corridors connect the various buildings and rooms in the theater.
Walking in the corridor surrounding the lawn, the two gradually talked about the current situation of the academy from opera performances.
"Come to think of it, school has been open for more than a month." Avni leaned on the corridor guardrail and bent down to look at the various flowers and plants in the lawn below.
"It feels like this month has been very long. It's like I've experienced a lot and my life has changed a lot."
"Last year I was just studying and attending classes and participating in some club activities, but this semester, there are so many things to do. First, I got familiar with the people and things of the Huashan Opera Troupe, then led everyone to choreograph new dances and operas, and then I looked for various materials and teachers to learn and make up for my deficiencies."
"Before I didn't have a specific goal, the days passed quickly and passed by unknowingly, but now I can't wait to make good use of every day, there are so many things waiting for me to do."
Avni complained about her recent state, then picked a light blue flower from the bushes and turned around. She looked at Tilan, then inserted the flower she just picked into the girl's right hair.
"Are you tired, Avni?" The girl was a little curious. She felt that the person in front of her was a little excited, and her heart was much more excited than she showed.
"No, it's very fulfilling."
"I think if I really want to explain this feeling and happiness, it will probably become a big talk, but I really like it." Avni took Tilan's hand, and the two walked into the grass in the center of the courtyard, then found a small tree and sat on the grass under the tree.
"Just like Tilan said before, find the light and shine of your own life, get the trembling and fiery when you follow your ideal heart, like a sparkling butterfly bursting out from the collision of flint, amazing and illuminating the darkness of life." Avni repeated Tilan's speech at the opening ceremony.
This feeling is quite subtle, the girl thought silently.
Although Avni's words did come from her mouth, at that time, because she came back from the central star field, after seeing the prosperous world and the tortuous history of the Federation, she had accumulated many thoughts and emotions in her heart, so she couldn't help but vent them at the opening ceremony, but this kind of thing or emotion, when recalling it after the end, it is inevitable that it is a bit embarrassing. Sometimes Tilan herself would laugh at herself for speaking too consciously and idealistically.
When she found that the girl beside her suddenly stopped talking and looked away, Avni couldn't help laughing again. She also guessed that Tilan was probably a little embarrassed at this time.
"Don't regret it so much, Tilan. In fact, you did say it very well at that time. Look at the current Edes Academy. It has undergone tremendous changes because of you." Avni did not lie about this.
Since the beginning of the new semester, perhaps because of the inspiration and infection of Tilan at the opening ceremony, or because the graduation of the older generation of seniors inspired the sense of ownership of the next generation of students and wanted to try their best, the atmosphere in the academy was particularly different this semester, and a kind of enthusiasm and passion was everywhere.
The practice that I used to think was boring is not only no longer boring, but I am even constantly trying new methods and theories to improve it. The communication has begun to increase. The original troubles are no longer a matter of thinking alone, but actively discussing with everyone, looking for teachers or various methods to solve them. The action power of many people has been greatly improved.
Avni told Tilan the details of these changes that have taken place in the academy.
"In fact, children born in a good family will also be bad." She adjusted her hair in front of her bangs and explained the reason.
"Because even if you don't work hard, you can still live a good life, and you are relatively well-
off. In addition, with the development of entertainment nowadays, most students don't have the motivation to work hard." "Tilan is very special. What you said that day can be said to have ignited the flames in many people's hearts. Suddenly, they want to try again, or want to do something different, without regrets, and gain the courage to experience a brand new life."
"I can say that I have the clearest understanding of this change in mood, because last year, I was depressed for a long time because of the problem of advancement. Long-term failures not only did not make me stronger and work harder, but I began to fear diligence and attempts, and I also had some psychological shadows."
"If it weren't for Tilan to pull me out of that state, I'm afraid I would still be immersed in it this semester, marking time, until I slowly fell behind in the end, and then my personality became more and more weird and twisted." Avni analyzed her previous state.
"It's not that great." Tilan was a little shy when she was praised directly in front of her.
"It's not a joke or a compliment, Tilan, you are really changing some people, in fact, you should also believe in yourself a little." Avni stood up again after sitting for a long time.
She walked out of the shade of the small trees and gently turned in the fragmented sunlight. The beautifully decorated skirt also rotated with it, like blooming petals, and the star and moon pendants on the edge of the skirt also shone in the sun.
After a simple attempt at the movements on the stage, Avni stopped, then came to Tilan, stretched out her hand, and bent down.
"Can you dance with me?"
Facing Avni's invitation, Tilan subconsciously stretched out her hand and then caught it for the other party.
"Follow me." Avni knew that Tilan didn't know much about dancing, so she just asked her to follow her steps and movements.
Although the girl did not know the complicated court dance steps, her coordination and flexibility from swordsmanship training, coupled with her excellent reaction, made it easy for her to follow Avni's dance steps.
The two of them simply stepped and spun in the courtyard until the song ended and they returned to the tree again.
"Tilan is really talented." Avni praised after the dance.
"Both her figure and her temperament are very suitable for dancing."
"Okay, don't praise me." Tilan couldn't help but scratch Avni's nose to stop her friend from speaking.
"If I don't praise you, I guess other people around Tilan won't be able to praise you either." Avni pinched Tilan's hand and put it down.
"Although Dolores would give good comments, her upbringing and cultivation would definitely not let her say it so bluntly, and she would also be a little reserved."
"The boys in the club say that Tilan is pretty and cute almost every day, but you probably have become immune to it and have no reaction or feeling at all, because whether it's Dolores, Ruby, or me around you, we all receive such compliments from boys, and you don't feel anything special."
"But, it's different." Avni shook her head.
"After I perform on stage, everyone will praise me. They will feel that this girl dances beautifully and is very pretty, but this kind of emotion and thought only passes through my heart briefly and will be forgotten in a few days."
"Tilan is different. Although you rarely perform on stage, every time you perform, you will bring a kind of spiritual tremor and vibration to people, which will slowly change the trajectory of everyone's life." "
Outsiders don't feel it deeply, but because I am often exposed to various music and performances, I will be more aware of the huge gap between them, which cannot be easily made up." "
The talent of the singer is almost integrated into your life, even every look and movement. If you really want to make an analogy, Tilan is like a mythical fairy living in reality, with a charm that makes people unforgettable, and you yourself are still unaware of it."
"Uh... ahem, is that so."
The girl blinked after hearing this, feeling a little guilty, thinking about whether she had not followed the ghost teacher's teachings to restrain her talent recently.
This can't go on, otherwise even if she doesn't sing, people will slowly find out that it's abnormal, thus exposing the fact that she is a singer with a very high talent.
"How about this." Avni suddenly thought of an interesting idea.
"What is it?" Tilan felt a little uneasy.
"Didn't Tilan feel a little distressed before? Everyone was working hard, but she could only watch and could hardly help?" Avni talked about Tilan's previous distress.
"There is a little bit." Her own talent and strength are indeed enough, but if she only relies on her, even if she beats Saint Ingo, the effect will not be too great. After she graduates, if the overall strength of Edes Academy does not improve, it will still lose in the battle with Saint Ingo.
"How about this, Tilan can promise everyone in the academy that whoever makes great progress or wins the competition will be rewarded."
"What about the content of the reward?" Tilan keenly perceived this key point.
"Well, you can sing a song for each of them, or make a gift for them as a souvenir."
"Imagine it, a beautiful and lovely singer, Tilan singing in front of you to cheer you on, or making something for you with her own hands and writing a message for you. Would you be moved by such a scene?" Avni explained to the girl.
Well, although it is indeed a bit tempting to imagine such a scene, the problem is that the protagonist of singing and making things is herself, so it is a bit difficult for Tilan to answer.
Seeing that the girl was still hesitating, Avni continued to add.
"Tilan, you also want to encourage and thank those classmates who have worked hard for a common goal and achieved results. If it is just money and material rewards, it may be an insult to these people who have no shortage of resources and are purely pursuing their ideals, but spiritual approval and recognition can greatly comfort their sweat and inspire the motivation to move forward."
Avni's words, coupled with the fact that they are indeed in line with the future blueprint that Tilan has always built in her heart, made the girl's heart shake.
"Well, I'll give it a try." Feeling like she had stepped into some kind of abyss, Tilan thought silently in her heart, and could only pray that things were really as good as Avni said.
So
the next day, Edes Academy held a small student meeting, and the attendees were basically the leaders of various clubs and student representatives of each class.
At the meeting, the vice presidents of the student union, Avni, Allen, Ruby, Ximu and others, announced the new policy of the student union in a high-profile manner.
"That's the 'President Tilan's Encouragement Plan'!"
Ximu pulled open the huge curtain in front of the wall on the stage, revealing a huge portrait inside. Tilan, wearing a black dress, lifted the hem of her skirt lightly, and her slender toes wrapped in black stockings stepped lightly on the marble stage. On one side of the empty and quiet stage, fine golden light fell, reflecting the floor and the girl's figure, with an indescribable beauty.
"In short, in order to encourage everyone's diligence and hard work, President Tilan decided to reward those students who have made achievements, and this giant painting signed by Tilan herself is the first-class product. After that, there will be individual singing prepared by President Tilan for the top five, as well as a signed black butterfly folded by hand." Allen announced very quickly, and the amazing thing is that even with such a fast speaking speed, the students below have no difficulty in understanding, and in just a few seconds, they completely understand the essence of the meaning.
"The origami black butterfly made by Tilan herself, the fragrance will remain on your hands." Ruby emphasized.
"There will also be a message written by Tilan herself, and the name of the student who was given it." Avni added.
"Oh--"
The students below, whether boys or girls, all opened their mouths and exclaimed, their eyes full of eagerness, and the excitement was almost visible to the naked eye.
Tilan, a black-haired girl standing in the corner of the stage, looked at this scene and couldn't help but want to hold her forehead. It's okay if the boys are so excited, but why are the girls so interested?
The painting was directly photographed and engraved, and the singing would not be too complicated. You just need to fold some black butterflies. Is such a thing really so attractive? She looked at the huge portrait behind her, and then looked at the students in the conference room who were shouting and shouting with joy, but she was still puzzled.
Perhaps everyone had added a lot of filters to themselves. After all, they were still young and passionate. If they were mature and stable adults, they would not be so out of control.
