Chapter 35: The Songstress in the Rain and Fire
In the afternoon, Heshia sat in a corner of the hall, flipping through the books in her hands, learning a lot of content that was not taught in class. She already had a lot of ideas about the direction of advancement in the future. She
must choose a job with a certain combat capability. She suffered a lot from several accidents before.
In addition, she also tried to choose a higher-rated extraordinary job.
Unfortunately, there were not many extraordinary jobs that the Federation had made public, and only one, the Withering Sequence 3, Ghost Blade Swordsman (Excellent), barely met the requirements.
Most of the jobs in the Withering Sequence were related to doctors and research. Jobs related to combat were mostly in the military and were not open to the public, unless Heshia applied for a military academy.
Joining the army was something she had never thought about. Heshia didn't like the serious environment in the army. She was still a bit lazy. If it weren't for life pushing her, she would probably be willing to live in seclusion in a rural area, which was exactly the opposite of her ambitious sister.
Dinglingling——
"I'm going to help Sister Butis." Heshia stood up.
A few minutes later, following Butisi to the bottom of the Top Star Tower, the two took a hovercraft to an empty square.
"This... is the largest bathhouse in the city, right? Are we going to hold the concert here?" Heshia got out of the car and looked at the scene in surprise.
"Yes, although there are theaters and other places in the city, they are too old and the space is very small. Why not book the vast square in front of the bathhouse? It just so happens that they are also under maintenance recently and are not open for business."
"That's what you say, but it's too surprising."
"It's okay, there will be more surprises later, Heshia." Butisi shook her finger.
"Come with me."
Soon, Heshia knew why Butisi said so. The huge crowd in front of her made her fully understand what enthusiasm is.
"The ticket price is 1,200 federal coins, please pay."
"This concert is really expensive."
"Qi, stop shouting, there are still many people waiting behind."
"I didn't expect so many people to come to the concert that was announced at short notice today."
"What are you talking about? Who is the big star?"
"Uh, didn't you know you came to line up?"
"Of course, I saw so many people, there must be something good, so I came."
"Well, that's the legendary singer named 'Pulin Koko'..."
————
South District 1, Swarm of Bees Academy.
This academy with the queen bee as its emblem is the second-ranked high school in the Emerald Skirt, second only to the first-ranked Saint Ingo Academy. Compared with the Saint Ingo Academy, which accepts both men and women, this school only accepts female students, and is a veritable girls' school.
The bell rang for the end of class, and the well-dressed young ladies left the teaching hall one by one, walked on the elegant tree-lined avenue, and talked and laughed with each other.
At this time, a unique girl was walking on roller skates, speeding across the ground, bringing up gusts of breeze, and behind her were three people, also dressed in the same way, walking on skateboards and roller skates, carrying backpacks.
"Wait for us, Pulin~"
"Hurry up and catch up, I have an appointment with my senior sister, and we have to go to the performance on time."
"But if you leave us behind, we can't have a concert."
"So, hurry up and catch up~~"
Other students on campus watched a few people rushing by, and they were no longer surprised. In such a strict school, those who can live so freely and freely are naturally not ordinary students.
"Pulin is messing around again."
"There's nothing we can do. She's a singer, and everyone likes her."
"If Pulin is not busy, you can ask her for an autograph. Many of my sisters are her fans."
"Ah, I forgot about this when I mentioned it." A girl suddenly remembered something.
In the coffee shop outside the campus, a familiar figure of Heshia was waiting anxiously.
"Why haven't you come out yet, senior? I'm still waiting for you to get Pulin Koko's autograph for me. I finally got a holiday to come to South District 1 for this." Clara lay on the table, with several empty cups of drinks in front of her.
Although her dream is to be an idol, it doesn't stop her from chasing stars. Now her goal is the new singer 'Pulin Koko' who is popular in the emerald skirt, who has been rated as 'Starlight Class'.
Although she is currently at Starlight Class, according to the calculations of professional organizations in the Federation, she still has a certain room for improvement and a promising future, so she is also receiving attention and care from the current Star Region government.
"Then, let's get started."
Outside the academy, Pulin and her companions jumped into the shuttle in front of them, and then the shuttle soared into the sky, and a huge gray shadow in the sky drove towards the north.
...
Three hours later.
Countless raindrops washed the iron-gray surface, and the tightly fitted flight armor welcomed the corrosive poisonous rain, flying at high speed in this gray and dark rain and fog.
The wings spanning hundreds of meters, the extremely heavy fuselage, the high-speed rotating and roaring engine, like a roaring beast breaking through the obstacles of nature, shuttled through this dark adversity.
In the dark sky outside Arpeggio City, a tiny star point rapidly enlarged, and the subsequent shriek also broke the tranquility of the night.
The suspension car shuttling on the ground also stopped at the notification sound inside the car, waiting in place, and countless people looked up at the night sky in the car, waiting for the roaring gray beast above their heads to pass.
The courtyard of Arpeggio City, which is usually bustling with people, is now extremely quiet. The red steel walls of the well are opened layer by layer, and countless restrictive ropes have been lifted. Green indicator lights flash on the four walls inside, and the display screens show one by one. [Passable]
The 'grey beast' in the sky swooped down, bringing with it roaring air waves and rain, and at this time a huge round tank was slowly lowered and went straight into the courtyard.
In the wind and rain, the cabin door opened, and a figure jumped into the dark night rain.
"Prin!" The companions behind him couldn't help but jump down.
Wearing a jacket like a flame, the caramel-haired girl was wearing sneakers, holding a guitar in one hand and the guardrail on the round tank with the other hand, and then stepped on the round tank hit by countless raindrops, rushing straight into the dark underground abyss of Arpeggio City.
The wind blew her clothes, the rain wet her cheeks, and her laughter did not stop. In the wind and rain, her hair and her ponytails danced in the air, so wild and uninhibited, so free and happy, this enthusiasm and mood seemed to ignite the rain curtain.
The huge round tank took the four people through the long underground tunnel, and four white "Messenger" class fighters followed closely to escort them, accompanying them through the underground about 7 kilometers long.
Finally, the darkness suddenly broke, and the bright urban area of Arpeggio City appeared before their eyes.
The front of the round tank began to emit hot air, slowing itself down, and the intense wind pressure deformed the air into a hemispherical shape. The heat waves it brought blew on itself, causing the girl's originally wet hair to float in the wind and continue to dry.
Then it automatically turned off, and the round tank was inserted diagonally into the bathing square in Arpeggio City. At this moment, countless light beams suddenly opened and gathered towards the four people on the top of the round tank.
"Oh--"
The shouts like a tsunami echoed throughout the surface of the city.
"Pulin Keke!"
"Pulin Keke!"
"Pulin Keke!"
Heshia stood in this surging crowd, looking at the top of the giant round tank where everyone's eyes were focused. The tiny figure bloomed like a flame, burning and unrestrained.
The rhythmic sound of the guitar began to sound, and the whole venue suddenly became quiet at this moment.
Along with the sound of the guitar, the foot drum sounded. From the prelude, the song continued to rise, with passion in the hustle and bustle. (BGM: Faster)
"I can't sleep because there is a fire burning in my heart"
"Like on fire, the flames are rolling and surging"
"No longer afraid, because I am approaching"
"Although it is a bit unreal, I still love it"
"I walk faster and faster"
"Fast and faster"
The melody keeps turning and repeating, and the emotions in it are getting deeper and deeper, and finally it is like a roar, which is dazzling and shocking.
"I can't live in a fairy-tale-like hypocritical lie--"
After a short pause and a deep breath, the song sounded again in the constant beating of drums and guitars.
"I can feel that you have fascinated my heart"
"I can't escape this feeling"
...
The singing does not stop, and the bass and guitar play together again, accompanied by the sound of the drums, the song burns the rain again and again, and the white air waves overflow.
"I walk faster and faster to survive"
"Fast and faster"
"I won't give up, because I am proud of all my scars"
"I know I have wasted too much time"
...
The crowd and the light sticks are waving, in the fiery sea, Heshia feels like a small boat, rising and falling in this bursting sea of fire.
"I can't live in a fairy-tale-like hypocritical lie"
"I can feel that you have fascinated my heart"
"I can't escape this feeling"
"I can't live in a fairy-tale-like lie"
"Fairy-tale lie..."
Is this the power of the singer... Heshia slowly pressed her hand to her chest, and an emotion that was about to burst out was lingering in it, so hot.
In her life so far, countless people have conveyed various truths to her, the truth of life, the truth of society, the truth of survival, and she has also tried to constantly understand this extremely complex world, this dazzling and uneasy world.
But every time she knew more, a new mountain would stand in front of her. There are so many rules and sayings in this world, and people do their own things, which made her step into the quagmire step by step and unable to break free.
Slowly, her heart was gradually bound by various shackles, shackles called human feelings, shackles called atmosphere, shackles called public consensus, shackles called unspoken rules...
The inner distress was like dark clouds trapped in a box, rolling constantly, but with nowhere to vent and tell.
Life should not be like this, I want it to be more colorful.
Just like a candle flame, burn off all shackles.
Just like a clear wind blowing over the hills, colorful leaves rustle in the sun.
The song quoted is from the band "Faster": Within Temptation
. This is also one of the promotional songs for the Isle of Man TT, which is very suitable for watching with the video.
