Chapter 96: 77. The first discordant note_2

"Are you having trouble over there?" Dubian Che asked.

"I’ll handle it." As the sun set, Kiyono Lin picked up a book wrapped in a cover.

The situation was more troublesome than Dubian Che had anticipated, as he watched them hold several meetings until Kiyono Lin finally informed him on Thursday that the issue was resolved.

"It took too long," she frowned, "and wasted several days of practice."

To lead a wind instrument club of Goda High School’s caliber to the Kantou competition was indeed important—even every second counted.

However, this was none of Dubian Che’s concern.

"May I come with you?" he said.

Kiyono Lin tilted her head slightly, casting him a questioning look.

"I’d like to practice awhile longer." Dubian Che pointed to the oboe on the table.

Not only in the activity room, even in his rented room, Dubian Che had received complaints.

He could only go to the riverside in the mornings and evenings, but his progress was very slow, and the summer mosquitoes were too numerous.

If he could go to the wind instrument club’s music classroom, he’d not only avoid the bugs but also gain several more hours of practice each day.

Nevertheless, Dubian Che had an ominous premonition that by July, he might still be struggling with ducks.

Now, he only had to strive relentlessly; Jiutiao Meijie, seeing his effort, might let him go, or subject him to some sort of punishment like a massage.

On Friday, after a clear day, the rainy season began again.

Dubian Che was in a very good mood, having stayed up late into the night.

June 21, exactly 23 days since his confession to Jiutiao Meijie in the courtyard on May 29.

Jiutiao Meijie had agreed to be his girlfriend during the lunch break, meaning by today’s lunch break, it would have been exactly one month since the sign-in!

Throughout the morning, Dubian Che always whistled cheerfully—it wasn’t that he was frivolous or uncontrollably excited; it was simply one of the beginner techniques for playing the oboe.

At lunchtime, with a little time before the sign-in, he first followed Kiyono Lin to the music classroom.

It seemed all the members of the wind instrument club were there today; the classroom was packed.

They whispered among themselves. Each person’s voice was not loud, but the combined noise of over eighty people was a cacophony.

"Please be quiet, the meeting will now commence," Minister Komatsu of the wind instrument club raised his voice and announced.

The classroom gradually quieted down.

Minister Komatsu continued, "After discussion with everyone and with the teacher’s permission, we’ve decided to officially ask first-year student Kiyono Lin to serve as temporary advisor."

Kiyono Lin entered the classroom from the doorway, then proceeded to the podium.

Dubian Che followed her, but after entering the classroom, he hid by the window.

"Let me introduce myself," even facing eighty people, Kiyono Lin was fearless, "My name is Kiyono Lin, I specialize in trumpet, and I’ll also be in charge of brass in the future. For woodwinds and percussion, I will seek out first-class teachers."

No one objected.

Dubian Che guessed that during this time, she must have already proven her strength in brass through her actions.

’It’s a pity, I really want to see her single-handedly take down the wind instrument club! Come to think of it, shouldn’t that be the job for him, the "protagonist"? Why is he stuck doing the simple and unglamorous tasks?’

Lost in his thoughts, Dubian Che sharply noticed someone in the crowd staring at him.

Following his instincts, he looked over and saw the beautiful and graceful Yuzao Haomei retracting her gaze.

"..."

The sound of chalk came from where Kiyono Lin pointed at the blackboard with marked staves, written ’Kantou Competition.’

"That’s everyone’s goal for this year."

Dubian Che noticed many faces showing shame; others were expressionless.

Kiyono Lin’s gaze swept over everyone, then resolutely turned and drew a bold ’X’ across ’Kantou Competition.’

’Hey, are you going to humiliate them in front of eighty people? Even I could only run away with you!’

As Dubian Che thought this, the sound of chalk came again.

"Please change your goal to this," Kiyono Lin pointed to the newly written, glaring white words on the blackboard.

’National Competition Gold Medal.’

The room suddenly erupted into chaos, even the low brass section exchanged glances, seeming unaware of this plot twist.

Before anyone could stand up to question, Kiyono Lin’s cool voice preempted them.

"You may not care what the goal is, even if you only want to perform on stage just once."

"All you need to do is obey my commands, execute my arrangements strictly."

Her confident, almost arrogant words echoed in the quiet music room.

"That sounds good," a voice emerged from the crowd.

Before Dubian Che could react, Kiyono Lin’s gaze found her.

"Inoue senior, and everyone else," she glanced around the classroom, "I don’t care how you view me, my only target is ’National Competition Gold Medal.’ Unlike you, once I have a target, I will definitely achieve it."

The slightly noisy voices rose again.

"Moreover, I never fail, nor do I allow failure, so this time I hope to succeed as well."

"You’re the young lady of the Kiyono family; how could you possibly fail?" another sharp voice responded, this time from a different person.

Dubian Che watched Kiyono Lin.

She had said she had never used her family’s privilege till now, and that must be true. Even if others, because of the Kiyono family, willingly gave her leverage, it was too reckless to so easily negate all her effort and achievements.
