Chapter 159 Hevinia's Character
"Miss Helvinia, can you tell me how many times this month you have been late?"
The middle-aged woman on the podium pushed up her heavy glasses and looked at Hevinia, who was panting in front of the classroom door.
"H-I'm sorry, Professor Arianna."
Hevinia's little face was red, and her crooked hat and gown were covered with snow stains, obviously she had fallen in the snow.
Of course, she did it on purpose.
Whether it's being late or falling down, it's all for the purpose of establishing one's character.
Especially in this female professor's class, most male professors would generously let her enter the classroom directly when they saw her being late, because of her identity, her gender, and her appearance.
However, these three bonuses are useless against Arianna, who is also a woman, and even have negative effects.
So every time Helvinia was late for her class, she would give Helvinia some punishment.
However, the punishment was not severe. She would either be severely reprimanded or be made to stand outside and listen to the class, making her "embarrass herself".
But what Arianna didn't know was that this embarrassment was also what Hevinia wanted.
So she was already prepared to stand outside for another class.
But what she didn't expect was that this time Arianna just glanced at her, and then said lightly: "Okay, come in."
"...Huh?" Hevinia showed a slightly confused expression at the right moment. Of course, she was indeed quite surprised.
"What? You won't be satisfied until I punish you?"
"No, no, no." Helvinia shook her head and immediately bowed to Arianna, "Thank you, Professor!"
Then he trotted into the classroom, looking as if he was afraid that Arianna would go back on her word.
But when she ran past Arianna, she heard Arianna say in a light tone: "Well done."
Hevinia was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Arianna frowning: "Why are you still standing here? Do you have to waste everyone's class time?"
"Oh, no!"
Hevinia didn't dare to delay and immediately walked down from the podium.
But she also roughly guessed why Arianna suddenly changed her attitude. It should be related to the fact that she completely lit up the notes last night.
Now, she is a true gold-level note, while Arianna is only a silver-level note.
When Hevinia walked to the last row and sat with a thin boy, the first words the boy said confirmed Hevinia's guess.
"Senior Helvinia! Congratulations!" The boy looked at Helvinia with admiration on his face, "You have already reached the true gold level."
Sure enough, everyone knew that she had reached the gold level.
Hevinia frowned as she thought, "Ogg, how many times have I told you not to call me senior? We are obviously from the same class."
Then, she breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her.
"It's okay, it's okay. I almost thought I was going to be scolded again."
When Hevinia sat down, her shoulder bumped against Og's seemingly unconsciously, and Og's face immediately turned red.
All of this was naturally seen by Hevinia.
Or rather, she did it on purpose.
She half-lay on the table, stretched out her body, and while unintentionally showing off her good figure to Oger, she also complained, "It's so boring. I don't want to listen to the class... Did you bring your books?"
"Oh, I brought it, I brought it." Oger nodded repeatedly, and then took out a yellow-covered ancient book from the drawer, "Senior sister, this is the one you didn't finish reading last time."
Hevinia's eyes lit up: "Oh! Thank you... and, I told you not to call me senior, just call me by my name."
"Yes, yes, Helvinia..."
Og's face turned even redder, as if just addressing Helvinia by her first name had taken all his strength.
But Hevinia had already focused her attention on the book at this time. She took the ancient book from Og's hand, ignored the number of the Holy Sound Library and the slogan "Do not take it out of the library" on the ancient book, and opened the book.
Yes, this is her real purpose.
Oger, a "poor kid" selected in the seed area, is the lowest level in this academy that values talent and bloodline.
In order to make a living, he had to work a lot of jobs to pay for his studies, and librarian was one of his jobs.
Hevinia had known him as early as a year ago when she first entered school.
He was just like he is now, sitting in the most inconspicuous position in the corner of the classroom, all dirty, so no one wanted to sit with him.
Then Helvinia arrived.
When Hevinia saw Ogg's librarian armband, she realized what she could get from him.
These are the books.
She was also born in the Seed Zone, and didn't know most of the knowledge about this world. She didn't even know why the real Hevinia went crazy the moment she saw her.
After replacing Hevinia and entering the academy, she thought she would be able to know everything quickly, but she discovered that even in this academy, there was a lot of knowledge that was not open to the public.
If you want to know everything, you can only rely on yourself.
The books in the college library are the best way to obtain information.
But the problem is that not all books are open to the public. Many ancient books that don't seem that important have restrictions of one kind or another. If you want to read them, you have to register, but this is exactly what Hevinia least wants to do.
A young lady of the Golden Note should not be interested in those books.
That's why Hevinia set her sights on Ogg.
But she couldn't make the request directly to Oger, as that would be too suspicious.
Even with her status, it was abnormal for her to stay with a low-level person like Oger.
So, she needs a little bit of "personality".
For example, he is careless, clumsy, and late every day, so he can only sit in the last row of the classroom.
For example, some people are careless, have nothing but talent, and don’t like studying, so they basically don’t listen in class and like to do other things.
For example, taking a nap, being in a daze, and then chatting with people around you out of boredom...that is, Oger.
For a poor boy like Ogg, he had no experience in dealing with someone like Hevinia approaching him.
So soon, the two of them became familiar with each other and became "friends".
And after this went on for a while, Hevinia suddenly said casually one day, "It's so boring. It's better to stay in the library and read books than to attend teacher Arianna's class."
She knew that Oger would seriously remember every word she said "casually".
After repeating this several times, when Hevinia saw Oger take out a book with a nervous look on his face and stammered, "Is this book okay?", she knew that she had succeeded.
At first, it was just some miscellaneous books.
But under Hevinia's seemingly casual hints, the books Ogg borrowed from the library became more and more important.
There is even a lot of knowledge that is not included in basic teaching.
And it was through these books that Hevinia learned what music and music score are.
Know what you really are.
I also learned what the legendary Seven-tone Divine Comedy is.
But she still left no trace in the library.
It's like until now, no one knows who she is...
The movement of turning the pages of the book suddenly stopped.
"Xue... I mean, Hevinia?" Ogg noticed that Hevinia looked a little pale, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"...No, that's not it." Helvinia recovered immediately and yawned innocently, "I'm just a little sleepy."
"Ah, then do you want to take a nap?" Oger glanced at Arianna on the podium cautiously, "I'll help you keep an eye on Professor Arianna?"
"No need. I'm already late. If I fall asleep again, the professor will definitely skin me alive." Hevinia said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"...You are right." Oger nodded and continued to listen to the class.
And Hevinia once again focused her attention on her left hand, which was turning the pages of the book.
To be precise, it is on the middle finger of the left hand.
Throughout this year, no one has seen through her disguise, and there are more than one person like Og who has been used by her in this academy.
But all of this was seen through by a person who had never met him.
...Can he really be considered a human being?
He's been shattered into pieces, but he's still alive?
Hevinia didn't know much about the name Visas. After all, she had only started formally studying this subject a year ago.
Originally, Hevinia didn't want to pay attention to anything other than the Seven-tone Divine Comedy, but now that there was such a thing living in her body, she couldn't just watch, so after a little thought, she looked at Oger again, and then called him casually.
"Ogg."
"Have you ever heard of Visas?"
…
"It's well known that the strength of a piece of music is related to the number of notes. The more types of notes there are, the more complex the piece of music is, but it is also relatively more powerful."
"The degree of completion of a piece of music is determined by the musical scale. There is already a huge difference between the bronze and silver levels, not to mention the highest gold level."
When Arianna on the podium spoke about the golden steps, her eyes unconsciously looked towards the last row of the classroom. When she saw Hevinia whispering with Oger, her eyes immediately narrowed.
She gently waved the staff in her hand, and the silver fifth note rippled in the air. Then everyone in the classroom felt as if a big bell suddenly struck in their head, shaking everyone's heart.
Oger's reaction was the biggest. His face turned pale in an instant, and his whole body froze as if he had received an electric shock. He almost fell off his chair.
"Dear Mr. Ogg." Arianna's calm tone seemed to contain rolling magma, "Miss Hevinia doesn't want to listen to my class, don't you want to listen too? Ah, could it be that you are also at the Gold Level?"
Oger immediately stood up nervously. When he was about to apologize, Arianna shook her wrist and waved her staff again, and Oger's already old wizard robe was torn apart.
Everyone saw the dark yellow, crooked musical note under his body.
Oger was completely stunned.
"Oh~ It seems you are not." Arianna slowly walked down from the podium and walked towards Oger. The sarcasm in her seemingly calm tone gradually increased. "You are just a bronze, and..."
When Oger subconsciously tried to put his clothes on, Arianna swung her staff again, this time completely destroying his clothes.
"... the lowest quality copper." She stood beside Og, looking down at his naked upper body. "To be honest, Mr. Og, I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen many notes as low quality as yours... Are these really notes on your body? They are so twisted and ugly that they look like insects."
As soon as these words were spoken, the students burst into laughter and the whole classroom was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Helvinia and Ogg were the only ones who didn't laugh.
Oger lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone. He just kept twisting his thin body, trying to cover up those dark yellow notes that were twisted like worms, but he couldn't. He could only keep saying "sorry" in his mouth, just like an earthworm exposed to the sun.
"I'm sorry, Professor Arianna." Helvinia also stood up and apologized very skillfully, "I was the one who wanted to talk to him. You should blame me. It's all my fault."
Arianna snorted softly.
She didn't want to cause trouble for Oger in the first place.
To be precise, he was too disdainful to cause trouble to Oger. For such low-quality copper-scale notes, paying attention to him was like a music master listening to the expressive singing of a tone-deaf person.
In her opinion, such guys should rot to death.
So she was just using Ogg to pressure Hevinia.
Now that Hevinia has admitted her mistake, that means... huh?
Arianna suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone gradually became colder: "Oh? Miss Hevinia, are you really apologizing?"
Helvinia was confused and didn't understand why Arianna said that.
But she noticed Arianna's gaze, so she lowered her head slightly in confusion, and then her eyes widened.
She saw the middle finger of her left hand, standing straight up, pointing towards Arianna.
…
A few minutes later, Hevinia walked out of the classroom quickly with a dark face.
In the past year, she had rarely experienced such great mood swings.
The last time was when she found out what the Golden Book was.
Bai Wei's voice rang lazily in her mind: "She woke me up, so I looked up to see what was going on. Doesn't that make sense?"
Hevinia said nothing, but just walked forward with a gloomy face.
The image of a good and timid girl that she had spent a year constructing in front of Arianna might have been shattered at this moment.
Now she just wants to go back to the dormitory immediately and cut off this finger that will cause trouble sooner or later!
But at this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and then subconsciously turned her head and looked at the edge of the teaching building.
I saw the two janitors I met yesterday, talking about something with serious faces.
Then, she heard Bai Wei speak lightly.
"Someone has died, why don't you go and see?"
