Chapter 177 It's You
Hevinia lived a peaceful life for the next few days.
For Hevinia, this was probably the most peaceful day since Bai Wei "moved in".
As the Seven Syllables approached, the daily classes were stopped and students began to leave the school one after another. During this period, the man hiding in the dark did not come to find Hevinia, as if he did not exist at all.
And what Hevinia did every day was very simple. During the day, she would go to various study rooms to study, write papers, and talk to people, as if she was preparing for a grand ceremony.
At night she would stay up all night studying the private music scores that Arianna gave her.
On the day of the Seven Syllables, the school will be closed, so both students and professors need to leave the school on the night before the Seven Syllables.
Most students will not set their departure date on the last day, but will leave early.
When talking to people during the day, Hevinia mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that she would stay until the last night before leaving.
Ostensibly it was for learning and to better prepare for the ceremony.
But in reality, Helvinia was telling the man in the dark that that night was his last chance.
Hevinia believed that the other party could understand that at this moment, a rare tacit understanding was reached between the prey and the hunter.
At the same time, Hevinia was observing the people around her, because she knew that the other person must be one of the people who stayed on the last day.
And just like that, time finally came to the day before the Seven Syllables.
This day is also known as Silent Night.
On this day, all members of the synagogue were required to remain silent and no music was allowed.
And this silence was a prelude to the more noisy melody of the seven-syllable day.
Helvinia walked out of the dormitory.
Because no melodies were allowed and most of the students had already left school, the entire academy was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of melting snow.
Hevinia took a deep breath, and the cool air that poured into her nose made her brain, which was a little groggy from only two hours of sleep, clearer.
Go. She shook her head and was about to leave when a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Hevinia~"
Then there was the familiar feeling of suffocation.
Daphne still hugged Hevinia as if she wanted to drown her in her big breasts.
"Ah, Daphne." Helvinia kept patting Daphne's back, trying to break free from the suffocating hug, and then looked at the smiling Daphne breathlessly, "Why are you here?"
Daphne smiled and took a step back, pointing behind her: "Look, didn't I come to take you to my house?"
Hevinia looked in the direction Daphne pointed, and sure enough, she saw a carriage parked in front of the academy gate. Daphne's waiter was waiting respectfully by the side.
It seemed that he was indeed here to take her away.
Hevinia said calmly, "Didn't I tell you? I can't go to your house this time for the Seven Syllables."
"Ah, why?"
"Because I want to spend it in my own home."
Daphne's eyes widened: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
"Sorry." Helvinia spread her hands. "I forgot."
"Ah, you are such a fool!" Daphne began to rub Helvinia's head frantically again. "I came all the way to pick you up! Really, I'm from the Second Hospital, and I come to your Third Hospital every day, and you still leave me alone like this, it really piss me off!"
Hevinia begged for mercy, but Daphne still made her hair a mess.
Seeing Daphne's angry look, Helvinia said helplessly: "I will come to apologize to you after the festival."
"Apologize to me..." Daphne blinked, and then suddenly clapped her hands as if she remembered something, "Yes! You will come to our Second Hospital after Seven Syllables. I had forgotten about this!"
Thinking of this, Daphne immediately revealed a satisfied and brilliant smile, and then hugged Hevinia again, but this time she did not use a suffocation attack.
"Hehehe, then we can stay together every day like before, sleeping, bathing and eating together! I won't have to run over to your place every day. It makes me look like I'm a transfer student to your third hospital even though I'm a student of the second hospital. I don't have to do that anymore!"
"Yes, yes, you don't have to plug it in the future."
After confirming that Hevinia would go to the Second Hospital at the end of Seven Syllables, Daphne no longer cared about Hevinia making her make a wasted trip.
After waving to Hevinia, she got on her own carriage and left the academy.
And Hevinia stood there, smiling and waving at the carriage, as if she was saying goodbye to her good friend Daphne.
It was not until Daphne's carriage completely disappeared from her sight that Hevinia restrained the smile on her face and slowly opened her other hand.
There was a dancing flame in the palm of his hand.
As long as she held the flame in her hand, she could feel the carriage galloping in the wind and snow, and Daphne humming leisurely in the carriage, and even hear the lyrics clearly.
"Very good." She turned around and looked at the ancient castle standing in the snow. "Next is..."
…
"You're here." Leonor looked at Hevinia and said lightly, "I thought you had forgotten about me as your mentor."
As a mentor, Leonor was naturally very dissatisfied that Hevinia accepted Phoenix's invitation privately.
Especially when Helvinia had already promised him, Leonor felt betrayed, so for several days, Leonor did not see Helvinia.
And Hevinia was prepared for this.
"I'm sorry, Master. I acted on my own initiative." Helvinia said very obediently, "The Lawrence family promised that after success, they would make all the private music scores in their family public to me."
Leonor narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to say "Is this why you betrayed me?" when he heard Hevinia say.
“Once everything is finished, I would like to share these scores with you at the same time.”
Leonard's pupils narrowed slightly, and even Doss, who was standing beside him and listening without daring to speak, widened his eyes.
After a moment of silence, Leonor slowly said, "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Helvinia smiled innocently, "After all, you are my mentor. I would say the same thing even at the ceremony."
There was another long silence.
Leonor was looking at Helvinia, and Helvinia was looking at Leonor.
Slowly, Leona's eyes softened.
"Since this is your own decision, then it's up to you." Leonor stood up and said calmly, "If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me directly. After all... you are my student."
"Of course." Helvinia smiled "foolishly", "I will always be your student."
Leonard said "hmm", then looked at Doss who hadn't come back to his senses, and his tone suddenly became stern: "What are you still looking at? Aren't you going to leave?"
Doss finally came to his senses and hurried forward to help Leonard put on his coat.
At the same time, he lamented in his heart that the gap between himself and Hevinia was getting bigger and bigger.
Although he had known for a long time that Hevinia, who was at the gold level, was destined not to be the same kind of person as himself, he still had some fantasies. After all, they were from the same school, and Hevinia was his junior sister in name and fact. What if they were too close to each other?
I just didn't expect that the gap between them would appear so quickly.
Hevinia, who is only in her second year, has already been invited by the Lawrence family to prepare for the ceremony, while he, who is about to graduate, can only follow Leonor miserably and be Leonor's coachman in Seven Syllables.
That really is...
Doss sighed in his heart, so much so that when he walked past Hevinia, he didn't dare to look at this little sister whom he had fantasized about countless times.
We are no longer on the same path.
Doss thought.
Don’t have any more illusions in the future.
But at this moment, the corner of Doss's clothes was gently pulled.
"Huh?" He turned his head subconsciously and found it was Hevinia. He was stunned, "What's wrong?"
Helvinia clasped her hands together, holding a notebook.
"Brother! I beg you for a favor!" Hevinia raised her notebook above her head and said, "I really don't know how to write the paper that Professor Arianna assigned me. Can you help me?"
Doss was stunned.
He didn't expect it to be like this.
Hevinia seemed to think that Doss was unwilling to help her, and immediately said pitifully: "Don't stand by and watch me die, brother! You know Professor Arianna, if I can't finish my thesis, she will definitely kill me! Now I can only count on you, you are my best brother! As long as you help me write my thesis, I am willing to do anything!"
Doss blinked and suddenly felt relieved.
We are back, all back!
She is still that cute little junior sister!
Even though she has reached the gold level, this cute little sister still needs help from her senior brothers!
"Haha, there's really nothing I can do about you." Doss took the notebook from Hevinia with a smile, "You know I haven't had a break in Seven Syllables, but you still want me to do this and that... Hey, after all, I'm your senior brother."
When Doss took the notebook, all his attention was on Hevinia, so he didn't notice that a cluster of leaping golden flames rushed in from just below the notebook.
"Doss, what are you doing?" Leona's unhappy voice sounded in the corridor outside, "How long do you want me to wait for you?"
"Oh, sorry, mentor, I'll be right there." Doss rubbed Hevinia's head hurriedly, gave Hevinia a look that said "leave it to me, senior brother", then quickly walked out of the room and followed Leonor outside.
And Hevinia smiled as she watched Doss tuck the notebook under his arm and walk out of the castle with Leonor.
She opened her hands, and the flame in her palms flashed away.
"Next..." she said softly.
…
"What?" Olenna looked at the envelope handed to her by Hevinia with a look of disbelief on her face. "You want me to help you deliver a letter to your brother...Fennis?"
"Yes." Helvinia smiled, "These are some of my thoughts on the ceremony."
Olenna's face darkened: "Why me?"
Helvinia pretended to be surprised: "Ah? Are you serious?"
Olenna gritted her teeth.
She really wanted to slap Hevinia directly, but she knew she couldn't do that, so she just took the letter from Hevinia's hand fiercely, then turned and walked out of the dormitory building.
Helvinia was still calling after her.
"It must be handed over to Phoenix."
"You can't peek."
Olenna didn't respond.
Hevinia spread out her hands, and a flame flashed in her palms.
"Next."
…
"Ogg, Seven Syllables, aren't you going home either?"
"No, I won't go back." In the library, Og lowered his head, "I still have to guard the library..."
"Is that so? Here, this is for you."
“What is this?”
"I made this amulet myself! It makes a sound when you twist it open." Helvinia said with a smile, "As long as you wear it through the seven syllables, you will have good luck in the coming year, so you must wear it tonight!"
"I, I will definitely wear it!" Oger answered seriously.
…
"Ah, Mr. Janitor, you haven't gone home yet? Please help me take a look at this."
…
"Uncle Security Guard, Happy Seventh Day. This is a little gift from me~"
…
In this way, clusters of flames were held in Hevinia's palms.
After nightfall, Hevinia came to a church in the farthest corner of the academy.
There was deathly silence in the church.
Because there are very few students coming here on weekdays, and even more so on this day.
In other words, no matter what happened here, no one would know.
Hevinia stood under the huge statue of the Lord of Holy Sound and narrowed her eyes.
Then she slowly opened her hands, and the flame in her palms swayed in the wind.
Some of these flames are bright, and some are dim.
Helvinia touched the brightest cluster with her finger.
The flame then transformed into the appearance of a young boy, who was looking at a small gadget in his hand from time to time, appearing both happy and nervous.
This was the amulet that Helvinia had given him during the day.
Yes, the boy is Ogg.
In the library five hundred meters away from him.
His every move was reflected in Hevinia's pupils, which showed no warmth.
This is a three-tone spell called Fire that Helvinia learned from Arianna.
It itself does not have any killing power, its only function is to observe people marked by flames, as it is doing now.
This was what Helvinia had come up with.
Mark all those who left their options for the last day.
If these people leave the academy, the fire will die out, but as soon as they return to the academy, the fire will be rekindled.
This allowed Hevinia to know in advance who was the one secretly watching her.
Then, she can ignite the flames during battle, causing a certain degree of spellcasting interference to the opponent.
so……
Hevinia narrowed her eyes and said softly, "Come on."
Let me see who you really are.
Hevinia stared at each flame, and the seconds passed by, and the footsteps of the seven syllables got closer and closer.
But these flames never showed any sign of going any further, and the one closest to Hevinia was always Ogg in the library.
She didn't know how long she waited, but just when Hevinia began to wonder if the person who was targeting her had left, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the empty corridor.
Hevinia's pupils narrowed slightly.
Because the flame in the palm of his hand didn't change at all.
The footsteps stopped.
Hevinia put out the flame, sighed softly, then slowly turned around and looked at the person who came.
"Honestly, you're probably the last person I want to see tonight."
Helvinia said softly.
"Professor Arianna."
