Chapter 398: Fifty-One You Really Dare (6K)_2

“But you can indeed take a good look at how he conducts this harvest,” said Hewinia, observing in her field of vision that there were already seven or eight orchestras led by Golden Note entering the Forbidden Forest. They had summoned spirits capable of tracking, clearly having done sufficient research, “He’s definitely prepared much more than you for today.”

…The riddler spoke again.

Hewinia sighed softly to herself.

But she understood Bai Wei’s meaning. The fact that the imposter Daniel had thought to use Ascension Magic to collect notes was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision; he must have planned this for a long time.

So, he must have foreseen the current situation and would have a plan.

Therefore, what Bai Wei wanted her to see must be this.

This was a hunter far more mature than herself, every move worth learning from her.

If possible, she wanted to keep “Gaze” on and watch the Forbidden Forest the entire time.

But she knew her life was not that long, and the Forbidden Forest was simply too vast. Even with “Gaze,” it was not possible to see everything; thus, Hewinia had to abandon this rather absurd idea.

And if that were the case, there was no need for her to keep standing guard here. This hunt would definitely not end in a few hours; it was even very possible that Hewinia would not see the result before leaving.

So, Hewinia decided to do something else, like, for instance, find the “Ascension Magic” she had never managed to get her hands on.

As for where it might be, Hewinia could only think of Orenna’s room.

If no one had helped her pack up her belongings, then “Ascension Magic” might still be in her room.

However, the dorm was also under lockdown at the moment, with school workers on every floor and every student confined to their rooms, so it seemed a bit inopportune to go out at this time.

Just then, a crisp female voice came from outside the door: “It’s time for dinner, Miss Hevnia.”

…Was it the food delivery?

A thought struck Hewinia, and she opened the door to see a freckled girl standing there with a plate of sandwiches and cheese.

“It’s time to eat, Miss Hevnia,” the girl said warmly.

Hewinia nodded and then, feigning interest, glanced at the food on the plate before murmuring with slight difficulty, “The bread has gone cold, hasn’t it?”

“Ah? Really?” The girl quickly looked and, seeing that this was the case, hurriedly said, “Oh, it seems a bit cold, maybe I was too slow. Let me go get you another piece.”

“There’s no need for the trouble,” Hewinia said. “You take me to the kitchen; I’ll get it myself.”

“But this…”

Hewinia looked into the girl’s eyes and said deliberately, “I can go with you to get it, can I not?”

The words from Hewinia’s mouth seemed to carry a certain command, causing a moment of confusion in the girl’s eyes, but it cleared up quickly.

“Of course, there’s no problem, Miss Hevnia.”

Hewinia nodded and successfully followed the girl out of the room while also hearing Bai Wei’s sigh.

“Sigh, the last time I used this rule was to order a troublesome bigwig to die for me,” Bai Wei said slowly, “Now in your hands, it has become a tool to deceive little girls, oh the sin.”

Hewinia pretended not to hear…even though she really wanted to ask who that so-called bigwig was.

With the girl leading the way, the school workers guarding outside just glanced over, probably thinking that Hewinia was also going to deliver meals, and said nothing more.

This gave her the opportunity to slip into Orenna’s room.

It was at this moment that the girl suddenly spoke up: “Miss Hevnia, I haven’t had the chance to thank you.”

…Thank you?

Hewinia looked at the girl in puzzlement, “Thank you? Why do you want to thank me?”

“That…” the girl whispered softly, “I am a friend of Polly.”

Polly?

A name slightly unfamiliar to Hewinia, she thought for a moment before remembering the heavily discolored corpse.

“Polly and I were very good friends,” the girl spoke gently, “I was working in the dining hall when she died, I never imagined she’d leave like that, and I didn’t even get to see her for the last time… But I heard that it was you who took her to Teacher Adelle, so I’ve been wanting to thank you, just never had the chance.”

Saying this, the girl paused and then bowed deeply to Hewinia, her eyes shimmering with tears.

Hewinia was silent for a moment and asked, “Did you come from the same place as her?”

“I don’t know if it counts as the same place,” the girl replied, “We both came from the Seed District, but not the same Seed District.”

“I see.”

Hewinia nodded, and the two continued walking towards the kitchen.

She did not want to ask more, but the girl kept speaking softly beside her: “I’m just a Copper Sound, and Polly was a Silver Notes, but she always took good care of me. In this academy, she was my only friend.”

“We also had a promise, after graduation, to open a music score shop in the Lower City District, trying to settle down there… We didn’t have many dreams, I am Copper Sound, not deserving of great dreams. Polly was the same, although a Silver Notes, her tone was not good, so she never thought about participating in the Grand Ceremony.”
