Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

The rain outside the window was pouring, and strands fell on the glass and slid down, blurring the night scene outside the window, only the vague neon lights reflected it.

In the room, Tilan sat on a high black chair with a velvet cushion under her body. She held the neck of the piano with one hand and the bow with the other, pulling it slowly. The cello in front of her was taller than when she was sitting. The taller, slightly glazed violin has a very smooth surface, and you can see the slightly darker wood grain underneath, partially reflecting the light.

The fingertips pressed the strings, and the bow slowly pulled, and then became brisk again. The slender wrists carried the black and white pleated cuffs back and forth. The waist curve outlined by the corset was straight, and half of the black clothes were exposed on the side of the cello. Wearing small leather shoes and wrapped white socks, the black-haired girl's eyes were slightly closed, occasionally revealing the blue hairband in her hair.

Tilan playing the cello is like a beautiful scene. It's a pity that she is the only one in the room at the moment. No one recorded this touching and beautiful moment. Otherwise, if it were sold on some kind of hidden website, many people would flock to it. .

Even ordinary people can feel the beauty of truly handed down works of art, which is something unforgettable.

The rain is still falling, and the sparse sound of rain separates the noisy world outside, allowing people even in the bustling city to feel a sense of tranquility.

The soft light remains unchanged, but the owl clock on the wall turns slowly, and time passes quietly.

After a long period of practice and immersion, Tilan stopped pulling the bow, opened her light blue eyes, checked the time, put away the cello and bow, put them in the cabinet next to the room, and then tidied up her clothes a little ,leave here.

This room was in a corner of the student union building with little traffic. She would occasionally practice some musical instruments here or take a nap. After all, it would be too bad to be seen sleeping in the office. As for the exclusive underground space given to her by the previous president, she usually used it to practice extraordinary sequences, practice swordsmanship and skills, and rarely went there at other times.

She has lived underground for more than ten years and wanted to change her place to feel more fresh. Besides, she also likes the natural sound of wind, raindrops, and those lively little lives, flowers and plants.

Walking in the night holding an umbrella, it was not raining heavily now. The umbrella handle occasionally turned in the girl's hands, picking up some water droplets and scattering them in the rain, forming spiral sprays, which made her feel slightly amused and happy.

When she returned to her residence, it was exactly nine-thirty. Tilan put the umbrella in her hand and shook it gently. Transparent ice beads fell down, and then the umbrella became extremely clean.

Inserting the folded umbrella into the storage bucket behind the door, she took off her small leather shoes, put on breathable and lightweight slippers, and then walked indoors.

"Good evening, Miss Tilan." The two maids waiting in the hall were used to Tilan coming back at this time.

"Both of you are here." The girl blinked and looked at the two maids.

Because they have to ensure that someone is waiting in the house at all times, the two of them often take turns to rest and do not always appear together.

"Is Anneli back?" Tilan sat on the sofa and drank some water.

"Miss Anneli is still dealing with the company's affairs and will be back in about half an hour." Ella answered from the side.

"She is also very busy. Sometimes I wonder if she has too many tasks." Tilan thought for a moment.

In addition to helping her manage singer-related affairs and contact with the school board of directors, Anneli also has to take time to deal with her own company's affairs. It is rare to see her free time. Originally, Anneli also had to assist Ti with student union affairs. Lan did it, but later Tilan considered that too many things were weighing on her. She divided the student union affairs into several parts and handed them over to different people to assist in handling them, so she did not continue to trouble her.

"Although Miss Anneli is relatively busy, she is not annoying. She is actually much happier than before." The two maids hesitated for a moment and then explained.

"Oh, what was Anneli like before?" Tilan suddenly became curious.

Seeing Tilan asking, since this was not a top-secret matter and the two maids did not hide it, they started talking slowly.

"...We first met Miss Anneli when she was ten years old. Because we both studied in the elementary school funded by the company, Miss Anneli is actually three years younger than us." Aiko spoke a little more, recalling the past.

"Miss Anneli was very lively and naughty at that time. She often caught small animals raised in the school."

"In order to enrich the children's knowledge and create an environment close to nature, the school has raised some animals, including alpine goats, gray capybaras, red pandas, white-tailed squirrels, snow cows, scarlet-breasted parrots, and black forest cats. Wait." Ella explained at the side.

"Miss Anneli was very bold at the time. She jumped into the fence and chased the mountain goat everywhere. She was not afraid of being gored by the goat. Instead, she held the goat's horns and laughed. Later, she even thought about riding the goat, but the goat kept resisting and would not cooperate. Give up."

"Later, I often bought various flowers and plants to feed the gray capybara in school. Compared with goats, the capybara has a much docile personality and does not resist when being ridden by her. Occasionally, she will carry a red panda into the classroom and be watched by everyone. ."

"If an ordinary student did this, she would definitely be told and controlled by the teacher. However, since she has a special status, the school teachers should not be too strict. As long as it is not particularly dangerous, they would probably let her do it. It was also because of her that the school had a lot of trouble in those years. Her atmosphere is much more relaxed, and we follow her lead so that the teacher can’t criticize her easily.”

"Although she loves to play, Miss Anneli is still a very smart genius even among the heirs. Today, among the younger generation of the Xie Lanhua family, there are about thirty people with similar backgrounds to her. Among them, Anneli Li is also one of the top-notch ones, so she was selected by the older generation as one of the candidates to take over in the future.”

"When we entered high school, Miss Anneli just entered junior high school. The school was different, so we had much less contact with Miss Anneli, and she was often not in school. Because she was well regarded, she began to be taken into contact with company affairs. wait."

"Although Miss Anneli is very talented, there are a lot of intrigues within the company. Sometimes she feels irritable and disgusted, and her mood is not smooth. Compared with the lively and natural nature of her childhood, she is very different."

"After we graduated, Miss Anneli happened to enter high school. Because we were familiar with each other before, we were transferred to assist her. In addition to taking care of her in daily life, she would occasionally help her with some simple administrative affairs within the company."

Speaking of which, the two maids of Aikoela are also top students. Tilan suddenly remembered that in fact, the grades of the two maids were not bad. They were not maids because of poor performance, but because of their excellent grades and good looks. They have just won this position. If Anneli inherits the senior position of Silver Leaf Workshop in the future, they will probably become Anneli's right-hand man and manage the company's affairs.

Nowadays, federal vocational education is generally completed in high school. Only a small part of the population goes to college for further education, about 3% of the people. Only a few occupations require a college degree, such as doctors, AI logic engineers, etc.

The development of technology and various tools has made it much easier for people to do things. If they are just working, there is no need to learn complex and lengthy theories. In addition, the current technology is too developed, which makes it difficult to learn cutting-edge and practical things. Not only will it take a lot of time and effort, but at most you can only specialize in a certain niche, which is not suitable for ordinary work scenarios.

This means that those who can enter university must have high talent and ability in a certain field, otherwise it will be useless even if they go to university, because R\u0026D positions are scarce and only the top few will be selected. If you arrive, you can only lose your job, there is no middle option.

Some thoughts about school floated through her mind. Tilan also put down her water glass. The two maids had already prepared dinner.

Sliced ​​crispy roast meat, paired with crisp parsley, vegetable strips, and then snow-white rice. Tilan still likes to eat some rice. If it was Anneli, it would probably be warmed bread slices.

After finishing the day, Anneli accompanied Tilan to the underground battle field of the academy early the next morning. Today was the time to test recent results.

A club president leads core members to report on recent achievements and progress one by one, and occasionally there are scenes of sparring.

"Want to have a try?"

In the venue, Xiao Yicheng, who was wearing a black and white swordsman uniform, looked at the boy opposite him, who was none other than Bennett, who had shined in the competition last semester.

"Do you want to compete with me? If you lose, don't lose Miss Tilan." Bennett rubbed his nose, slowly pulled out the long knife on his shoulder, and then made a buzzing sound, and the green light shone on the blade. lights up.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't afford to lose?" Xiao Yicheng also leaned over slightly with excitement, holding the scabbard in one hand, and then pulled out the silver blade, followed by a flashing arc of silver moonlight. , the long sword as bright as autumn water appeared underground, exuding a faint cold air and white smoke.

"Let's start." Bennett responded, and then the two rushed towards each other, reaching their maximum speed from the beginning.

After the battle, the flashes and fireworks of sword clashes continued to come from the sides of the two. When the speed reached a certain level, it was difficult to keep up with thinking. Most of them relied on intuition and muscle reaction. When the two were concentrating, they gradually ignored it. The audience and sounds around.

These two guys were fighting again. Tilan had just finished checking the report of a small club when she saw a scene of fierce fighting on the battlefield below. At this moment, many people were watching the battlefield, some cheering, and some The analysis of the skills and gains and losses of the two men's battles was watched with gusto by everyone.

Tilan also looked carefully at the guardrail for more than 20 seconds, then shook her head and continued to deal with the matter at hand. After all, she had a lot to do today.

The tense and high-intensity battle ended after 3 minutes. In the end, Bennett narrowly won. Not only did the knife cut open the protective suit on Xiao Yicheng's chest, but the rotating blade also cut into Xiao Yicheng's left arm, creating a huge gash. But he himself was only stabbed in the shoulder, and the injury was not serious.

After the battle was over, the medical staff on the side came forward to treat the wound, and it quickly stabilized because both sides were restrained. It was just a flesh and blood injury, but it was not serious. It is estimated that there will be no scars after three days.

"Bennett still won, because he is experienced and seasoned." The onlookers commented.

"Yes, in fact, the difference in strength between the two is very small, but Bennett has much more experience in fighting, especially in the moment of life and death. It may only be a small change, but it may be a slight injury in exchange for the other's life. This A little bit of Xiao Yicheng is not enough."

"Bennett was born on a mining planet, where the environment is harsh. In order to mine rare minerals, accidents often occur. He has long been accustomed to the difference between life and death. He has a ruthlessness that will not give up until he achieves his goal."

"As for Xiao Yicheng, his family environment is much better. He has never experienced this. He is usually fine, but at certain dangerous moments, he will inevitably feel a little flustered. In fact, he has tried very hard to suppress this emotion, but his subconscious reaction , it cannot be changed in the short term." Teacher N commented while pushing up his sunglasses.

"As for Tilan, logically speaking, although she has experienced some setbacks, she should not be like Bennett. After all, she is a girl, so she will receive a lot of protection and not be so stressed." Another teacher A little confused.

"Tilan, I can't say that. She doesn't seem to have worried about this. Maybe she is too talented and powerful. No one can force her to this point." N recalled a little.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. The real owner is here. Haha, just in time to see how she instructs the two of them." N glanced at the black-haired girl below walking into the battlefield.

Holding his bandaged arm, Xiao Yicheng looked at the girl walking over with a little shame, because the singer and president in front of him had taught him a lot of swordsmanship in the 'Hat and Dagger' club, and he also boasted that As the eldest disciple of Tilan’s sect, I didn’t expect to lose today.

"It's nothing. Everyone's growth experience is different, so there's no need to be so persistent." Today's Tilan has a very stable mentality and has long been accustomed to such small things.

"Bennett." Tilan suddenly called out the other person's name.

"What's the matter, President Tilan?" At this moment, Bennett had just wrapped the bandage on his shoulder.

"Although your fighting method is useful in a life-and-death struggle, it is too dependent on it." The girl shook her head.

"Although it is very useful in competitions, after leaving school, in real battles, you can't afford this kind of gambling risk. As long as you fail once, you may be seriously injured or die in the battle. If you want to pursue it only once, Victory, regardless of long-term tendencies.”

"This is actually an overdraft, which is very dangerous."

"I know, but this is my choice. If I am forced to be submissive, consider everything, and restrain my hands, I will be even less able to fight." Bennett shrugged his shoulders, but immediately groaned in pain due to touching the wound. tooth.

"Going astray will gain short-term advantages, but it is not the right way after all." Tilan knew that she could not convince Bennett with words alone.

She moved lightly and passed by Bennett easily. She pulled out the fluorescent green blade and simply turned it in her hand to familiarize herself with the weight and feel.

Tilan then held the blade horizontally in front of her and swung it slowly. The speed was not very fast, but each step was rich in a certain rhythm, with a kind of coordination and smoothness visible to the naked eye. It seemed that as long as the speed was slightly accelerated, a certain connection could be achieved. The knife is like a painting.

Because it was for demonstration, Tilan deliberately showed the details of waving the long and narrow blade, the rotation of the body steps, etc. If you are an outsider, you may simply think that this kind of knife dancing is beautiful, but in the eyes of an insider, this is undoubtedly a routine. More advanced and perfect fighting skills, able to move forward and retreat flexibly, not only rich in fighting power, but also extremely light and agile, like a swallow turning over, the spring breeze cutting the water, making people comfortable.

This set of swordsmanship or the method of using a knife is roughly similar to Bennett's usual fighting skills, but the details have been improved a lot, filtering out the previous tightrope ruthlessness and adding more changes. vitality.

As the two of them slowly understood, Tilan swung the sword faster and faster, until the shining light of the sword and the sleeves became one, gorgeous and stunning, and finally stopped abruptly, leaving people with endless aftertaste.

"Okay, that's it. Do you remember?" She put the knife away and put it back into the scabbard. Tilan turned around and asked the two of them.

"Remember." The two of them answered gratefully, clasping their fists.

The girl nodded slightly, then returned to the room upstairs to continue dealing with things, while various exclamations and discussions broke out from the students on the battlefield below.

"I've heard that President Tilan is very skilled in swordsmanship before, but I didn't expect him to be this strong."

"It feels like Bennett and Xiao Yicheng are like obedient primary school students in front of Tilan."

"Hahaha, I do feel that way."

"It looks great. The sword is like a dragon, and the dance is like a giant. It would be great if President Tilan could perform it more often."

"It's a pity that President Tilan is very busy now, and the affairs of the student union and the singer take up a lot of time."

"By the way, didn't I say before that President Tilan would give encouragement and rewards to those who performed well and won the competition? If President Tilan was invited to perform a sword dance at that time..." Someone fell into fantasy about the future.

"There is also a gift folded by Tilan herself. Thinking about it makes me look forward to it, and I suddenly want to learn the sword."

"Forget it, you can actually learn other things, as long as you win in the competition."

"I suddenly want to give it a try. Even if I don't win, I can still have a good memory so that I won't regret it in the future."

"Are you up?" A boy next to him sighed slightly when he saw this scene, then turned his head and looked at the girl who was talking to someone on the second floor.

"Hesia Tilan, you are such an incredible girl, as if everything is a dream." He shook his head, then looked at the put away firearm at hand, and with a twist of his fingertips, this silver firearm It changes into a spear that can be held, and the tip of the spear emits a long beam of sword light.

This year's Winter Festival Gala is not far away, and he has to prepare early, he thought silently, and then walked to the separate training room on the other side.

Although everyone usually wants to be lazy and show off, if there is such a nearly perfect girl with dreams standing in front of you, you will inevitably think about whether you should work hard to be better, even if it is just to get her A compliment and admiration are also very satisfying things.

Young hearts are full of expectations and fantasies. Even if they are called naive, they still exude vigorous motivation, allowing people to keep trying and moving forward. But not everyone is so lucky to meet that inspiring figure. Many times , this small fire was blown out by the cold wind before it grew up, and I could only walk sadly in the wind and snow, silent and gradually becoming cold.

Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers,

May you be as stunning as the sparks and butterflies bursting out from the impact of a rock, surprising and illuminating the darkness of life.
