Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 845 - 45 New Semester's Task_2

Due to the inconvenience of the Songstress's identity, the school specially provides props for disguising appearance and identity, allowing the Songstress to participate just like ordinary students without worrying about exposing their identity.

Aside from these service-oriented tasks, there are also many verification tasks, such as those related to swordsmanship, defeating practice opponents using only physical fitness and swordsmanship without special Secret Techniques, or obtaining certain professional certification permits, among others. These tasks are permanent and unlimited; credits are awarded upon completion.

"The tasks in the earlier stages are quite simple and ordinary, but completing a few can earn points to enter the Second Stage, then the tasks will become increasingly specialized and difficult."

"After entering the Fourth Stage, as a Songstress, we must undertake team-related tasks," Ores described the difference between Songstresses and other students.

"For example, leading a major commercial event, leading a team to conduct inspections in other Star Domains, or presenting a design for a product promoted across multiple Star Domains, and so forth."

"Currently, Jian Xin'er from the third year, known as 'Shut-in Flower', is leading a team of thousands to inspect abandoned planets in the Quicksand Star Domain. It's one of the planets destroyed during the Fifth Epoch, previously inhabited by many intelligent species, including humans."

"'Red Stingray' Luo Fenghua is organizing religious reforms in his hometown, aiming to improve local religious practices, which is even more challenging."

"Their busy tasks are almost equivalent to a graduation project," Ores said, smoothing her hair.

"That's a huge leap." Blanchi wondered when she could return to her home Star Domain to complete her project, such as improving the economy of the Hemu Star Domain.

For now, putting such distant concerns aside, the four refocused on the tasks currently available.

Not wanting to create unnecessary competition by widening the gap at the initial stage, they decided to take on the same first task.

"This is it, the grand opening ceremony of the Four Winds Hotel, which requires a commercial symphony performance. Currently, the musical lineup still lacks a few musicians."

"I want to play the piano, but there's no pianist option available here." Ores was slightly unhappy.

"Of course, as normally a symphony orchestra only has one pianist, surely they would relay on their own team members. We, as substitutes, would likely fill less essential positions," Shui Yanqing mused.

"The vacant positions include the violinist, reed instruments, snare drum..."

"After selection, you need to attend three live rehearsals, then perform at the ceremony."

"It's just one piece of music, there's sheet music available on-site, so the difficulty isn't that high." Usually, a symphony orchestra performs more than one piece, but this time it serves as a backdrop for the opening ceremony, so the requirements are not extensive.

"I'll play the cello then," Tilan noticed that the cello section still needed people.

"Tilan, you play the cello too?" Ores was somewhat surprised, as during their time together, she had only seen Tilan play the violin, piano, and flute. She hadn't seen her play other instruments.

"Hmm, I practiced it before." The girl thought back, previously assuming that since the cello and violin looked similar and sounded similar in name, they should be easy to learn, so she practiced quite a bit.

"Then I'll take the violin," Ores, not having practiced much cello, was more familiar with the violin.

"I choose reed instruments," Blanchi had practiced more on wind instruments.

"I'll pick the flute," Shui Yanqing also chose the instrument she was skilled in.

"Should we disguise ourselves when we go?" Blanchi asked but then remembered it was a redundant question.

"You were all so skilled last time, I need to really learn well this time."

"Speaking of which, what should I change my hair color to? Actually, I quite like my current hair color," she tilted her head in thought.

"Then just make a slight adjustment. Like Blanchi, you currently have Chestnut Gold hair, you could change it to lighter golden," Tilan suggested with a smile.

"That sounds good, yeah." After confirming this, she decided on deep blue for her eye color.

"It feels surprisingly common, or should I say ordinary?" After looking at her new image in the mirror, Blanchi shared her thoughts.

"Disguises are like that. If it's too conspicuous, it defeats the purpose," Shui Yanqing stood behind her gently pressing on her shoulders, helping Blanchi adjust her look.

"Make the hair color a bit softer, the blue of the eyes a bit brighter, should we add some freckles? This disguise necklace has that feature," Shui Yanqing suggested.

"Freckles, huh." Blanchi recalled some of her classmates from the past, many of whom had them.

"Let's add some, but not too many, it might look ugly." She still cared a bit about whether she looked pretty or not.

"Giggle~" The other two couldn't help but smile.

Sitting next to Blanchi, Tilan also touched the necklace on her chest, making a subtle adjustment. She changed her hair color to a common and soft deep chestnut, and then her eyes turned purple. At this moment, her temperament became particularly gentle and mature, like she transformed from a green, shy girl to a tender elder sister.

If there was an ideal image of an elder sister in her mind, it would probably be this one, the girl thought silently.

Unfortunately, Temisia really liked her own black hair and would never dye it. Additionally, purple eyes seemed more sharp and confident to her.

If Hexia had been the one born earlier and Temisia later, perhaps Tilan would have turned into this appearance and temperament reflected in the mirror, and Temisia might have become the rebellious girl.

For some reason, this conjecture surfaced in the girl's mind.

While the girl was daydreaming and reminiscing, Ores behind her didn't idle. She brightened upon seeing Tilan's new image in the mirror and began rummaging through a nearby jewelry box.

"Right, this is it." She took out a red maple leaf-shaped hair clip, gathered some of Tilan's hair on one side, and clipped it.

"That's perfect. Adding more jewelry would only ruin the aura." Looking at the especially gentle girl in the mirror, Ores felt as though she was getting to know Tilan all over again.

"Tilan has changed so much, I almost couldn't recognize her." Blanchi also noticed what was happening here.

"No way, I have to take a photo to commemorate this." Thinking this, Blanchi pulled Tilan to a nearby wall and asked Shui Yanqing to help take a picture.

"Alright, alright~" Shui Yanqing shook her head helplessly, thinking that Blanchi had gradually become more confident and cheerful, no longer as restrained as when she first arrived, and now even directing her.

When exactly did she change? She hadn't even noticed.

After taking the photo, the other four also took various photos together, including pairs, trios, and even a group of four, but there was no single photo of just Shui Yanqing and Ores. The only trio photo included Tilan standing in the middle holding both their hands.

After the photoshoot, the four were quite satisfied and then reverted to their usual looks.

"The preparation is about done, let's go register together tomorrow."

"Remember to change clothes."

"Hmm, got it."

Afterwards, the four parted ways, and Tilan also returned to her mansion.

It was just 3 PM, and since it was the opening ceremony today, there were no classes, rather leisurely. Upon returning home, Tilan took out her personal terminal and interestedly browsed through various tasks and assessment targets.

Regarding swordsmanship, she could easily earn quite a few credits herself. In other areas like potion preparation and transcendent animal breeding, she was also proficient. It seemed it was time to prepare for the relevant qualification exams.

Graduating from Yuanting, she automatically received the Junior Breeder certification, but for a higher-level Breed Master certification, she needed to take a separate exam. With this, she could undertake many Breed Master-related tasks.

In fact, she had already accumulated a lot of knowledge related to advanced breeding, and had even practiced it extensively at Yuanting Academy. However, the exam might include some obscure knowledge, which would need some additional review and familiarization.

She decided to read and prepare well in the coming days. After making up her mind, Tilan temporarily put away her personal terminal.

She looked around the somewhat quiet mansion and then asked a maid nearby.

"Did Geyin come back today?"

"Miss Geyin returned at noon, but after lunch, she went back to her bedroom."

The child must be engrossed in the internet again, the girl thought.

Although she understood Geyin's hobbies, sometimes she still worried that Geyin was too isolated from the world, and wondered if it might cause any problems in the long run.

If she has time, she should take her out for more walks.

After organizing her schedule for the coming week, Tilan headed to the attic on the roof, planning to take a short nap there, then wait for the White Kites who were out playing to return home in the evening.

During this time, the attic was bathed in slowly setting sunlight, neither too hot nor too cold, very quiet and comfortable. Resting on a lounge chair, Tilan's body relaxed and she slowly drifted into a peaceful nap.
