Chapter 168 I'm here to invite you to play with me
This was probably the most difficult class Hevinia had ever taken.
In order to restore her image in Professor Arianna's heart, she did not dare to talk to Oger in this class. She could only listen to the class carefully and respond to Professor Arianna's gaze from time to time. This put a great burden on her already poor spirit, and she couldn't help falling asleep several times.
When the class was over, Hevinia collapsed on the table and let out a long sigh, "It's finally over."
Oger had put his coat back on. The scent of Helvinia emanating from the coat made him distracted throughout the class. It was a rare occasion that he didn't listen to the class seriously. He just muddled through it and didn't even notice the get out of class was over.
He didn't even hear Hevinia calling him, and it was only when Hevinia knocked him on the head that he came back to his senses.
"Ah...what's wrong?"
"Why are you so distracted?" Helvinia tilted her head. "Didn't you sleep well?"
"Well……"
Og didn't know how many hours he slept. He couldn't even remember when he fell asleep last night. It was almost dawn when he woke up, and Hevinia had already left.
Hevinia was just about to talk to him about the book, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the teaching building. She immediately patted Oger on the shoulder, said "See you in the next class", and quickly left the classroom, leaving Oger alone in a daze, not understanding what had happened.
And the reason why Hevinia was in a hurry to go out was very simple.
Because she saw Doss.
“Senior Brother! Senior Brother!”
Doss, who was walking at the edge of the Forbidden Forest with two janitors, heard Hevinia's voice, stopped, and looked at Hevinia with some surprise as she ran towards him like a little rabbit.
"Helvetia? Why are you here?"
Hevinia stopped in front of him. It seemed that running this distance had consumed too much of her energy, so that she could not even stand steadily. She could only support herself with her hands on her knees, looking out of breath.
This action also allowed Doss to see the faint golden musical note on the back of her neck.
Although he had seen it many times, Doss still felt a little impatient. He immediately walked towards Hevinia, held her arm, and helped her up. At the same time, his voice became much softer.
"If you have anything to say, just call me and I'll come find you, right?"
Hevinia didn't seem to notice anything wrong with Doss's movements. She just said in a very innocent tone: "Ah, I saw you and came to find you. What are you doing..."
She stepped back and looked Doss up and down.
"Are you working?"
Doss is also a fourth-year student, and will stay in the school's janitor department after graduation.
So he is now working in the school engineering department, and the last time he accompanied mentor Leona on a diplomatic mission to Lyra was one of his jobs.
There was naturally only one reason why Hevinia came to her cheap senior brother at this time.
Her cheerful expression suddenly turned into nervousness, and then she lowered her voice and said, "Is there anyone else who was hurt by the Snowthorn Beast?"
Doss looked surprised when he heard Hevinia's question.
The announcement about the Snowthorn Beast injuring people had already been posted, but because the grand ceremony held once every twenty years was about to begin, it attracted the attention of the entire academy, so that the students did not pay much attention to the Snowthorn Beast that injured people.
In Dos's opinion, as a gold-level Hevinia, she should pay more attention to the ceremony, but he didn't expect her to take the initiative to ask about the Snowthorn Beast.
And it’s “again”.
Did she already know what happened last night?
Doss looked at the two janitors, one fat and one thin, with some confusion. The fat janitor shrugged and said with a smile, "It seems that what happened the day before yesterday scared you, Hevinia."
"What happened the day before yesterday?"
"Yes." The fat janitor said, "It was at this place the day before yesterday that Hevinia saw, um... a rather bloody scene."
After the explanation from the two janitors, Doss learned that Hevinia had seen the scene of the first victim being killed at this place the day before.
No wonder when they saw them appear here, they immediately chased over and asked nervously.
Doss understood.
"Hevinia, although I really want to comfort you and tell you that nothing happened and everything is safe... but unfortunately, what you worried about has come true." Doss shook his head and said, "Indeed, there was a new victim last night."
Hevinia was about to act surprised, but then she heard Doss say.
"And there are two of them."
Hevinia was really surprised at this time. She subconsciously thought she had heard it wrongly: "What?"
"Two, Hevinia, there are two." Doss raised his voice to show the seriousness of the problem. "There were two victims last night, one in the second grade and one in the fourth grade, so the matter is much more serious than we thought."
...Two of you?
The fourth grader must be Aiman.
So who is that sophomore?
Hevinia was a little confused.
...Could it be that when she attacked Aiman, the Snowthorn Beast also attacked another student at the same time?
But let’s not talk about whether there is such a coincidence or not.
The traces of her fight with Aiman definitely could not be left by a snowthorn beast, right?
So why do they make such a judgment?
Before Hevinia could figure it out, Doss came closer again and spoke in a low voice.
"There is one more thing that I cannot tell you, but I will tell you anyway."
"We suspect that the one hiding in the forbidden forest is not a snowthorn beast at all. There has never been any snowthorn beast in the first place."
"It's a player disguised as a snowthorn beast."
Hevinia's eyes widened little by little.
…
Hevinia never imagined that things would turn out like this.
A performer disguised as a Snowthorn Beast.
Because the first two opponents were sophomores, they were easy to defeat, but Aiman was a senior, so he was not so easy to defeat, so he alarmed the school workers and had no way to disguise himself when he fled in a hurry.
Although this logic barely makes sense.
But Hevinia still felt it was a bit far-fetched.
But no matter what, if they think this way, at least Hevinia won't have to worry about them finding her in the short term.
...But I still feel like something is wrong.
Hevinia frowned, thinking about this matter carefully, when she suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the dock.
She turned her head and saw a lot of people gathered there.
Is there anyone from other colleges coming?
As soon as she thought this, she was pushed by someone, accompanied by an urgent "get out of the way".
This voice is very familiar.
It's Olenna.
Helvinia barely stopped, then raised her head and saw Olenna running towards her in a hurry, obviously unaware that she had bumped into Helvinia.
It was rare for Hevinia to see the emotions called "joy" and "expectation" on Olenna's face.
Could it be...
Helvinia thought of something.
…
Olenna pushed away countless people and finally saw the young man surrounded by the crowd.
She couldn't help but smile.
Because, this is her brother.
Olenna immediately called out "Phoenix"'s name and ran towards him.
And indeed, Phoenix looked at her and a smile appeared on his face.
Sure enough, he came to see me!
Olenna rushed to Phoenix and opened her arms to give him a hug.
However, Phoenix seemed not to see her and walked straight past her.
Olenna's smile froze.
She turned around subconsciously and saw Phoenix walking up to the woman she least wanted to see.
"Golden notes always attract each other, but I am still happy to see you as soon as I get off the ship."
Phoenix smiled at Helvinia.
"I'm here to invite you to play with me."
"Miss Helvinia."
