Chapter 114: Tilan's Solo in the Black Ceremony Dress
In the small concert hall, the girl, dressed in a formal gown, gently played the violin.
Her long legs were paired with black stockings. As she moved the violin bow, the skirt with black rose ruffled decorations lightly swayed. The glimpse of white between the skirt and the stockings was particularly captivating. Although the style was not revealing, even somewhat retro, it always sparked endless imagination.
The only light illuminated the girl's cheek. Her eyes were slightly closed, and she slowly opened them at the end of the piece. Then, the violin bow was gently withdrawn, and the lingering final note gradually ended.
After finishing her performance, Hexia Tilan put down the violin, and the other lights in the concert hall gradually lit up, revealing the other members who were listening to the performance.
In fact, Hexia's height wasn't low, but she usually wore long dresses and didn't wear height-increasing shoes, like high heels, which made her appear a bit petite and cute compared to her companions.
Today, encouraged by the other members, she changed into a black short dress formal wear, paired with those elevated small leather shoes, making her appear tall and slender.
As for why she performed on purpose, it was because the '漆夜花' club she led had just completed a one-month special training. With the help of Hexia and several professional mentors, everyone's abilities improved significantly. So, at the end, to express celebration and satisfy everyone's wishes, Hexia agreed to put on the special black rose gown to perform.
Finally, she stood in the middle and took a group photo with everyone. The black rose floral decoration on the dress matched the violin's side pattern, exuding a dark and elegant style.
After the event ended, everyone played around for a while before gradually dispersing.
Sitting on a wooden chair, Hexia slightly raised her legs, resting them on the crossbar under the chair, then placed a book on her knees, leisurely flipping through it.
At this point, besides her, only a few people were tidying up documents in the room, presumably preparing to leave later.
Suddenly, she remembered something and looked at the schedule hanging on the distant wall.
"The assessment confrontation is scheduled for next Tuesday, right?" She referred to the songstress confrontation set by Yarnasha at that time.
"Yes, President, everyone is full of energy for this confrontation." A member holding a sorted file bag replied.
"How are the other songstresses doing currently?" Hexia pondered, finding it inappropriate to directly ask people like Ores, so she asked the club members.
"The other songstresses' star clusters are also preparing, but there's no need to worry."
"Why is that?" Hexia suddenly became curious. Although she genuinely helped everyone's strength improve, considering that each songstress has quite a few significant figures supporting them, such training is easy for them to arrange too.
"That's because, in our hearts, Lady Hexia Tilan is the best, so there won't be failure." A member remaining in the room answered earnestly.
This confidence, which even Hexia didn't possess. Though she wouldn't deliberately belittle herself, neither would she blindly be narcissistic. After all, the Federation is so vast, producing a few geniuses is all too common.
Moreover, even with her unparalleled talent, didn't she encounter a formidable rival like Sevia La during high school? In Hexia's view, there should be similar figures in other Star Domains, she just hasn't met them yet.
"Aren't you being overly confident? It's not good to underestimate the enemy like this." The girl cautioned.
"We wouldn't do that; we arrived at this conclusion through detailed and thorough understanding and comparison, not baseless assumptions." A girl with bright yellow hair raised her finger; her name was Laisa, and she was a core member responsible for external communications in the club.
"Can you tell me about it?" Hexia was now interested as well.
"Of course." She confidently walked in front of the girl, first bowing and then introducing the current situation.
"I grew up in the Emerald Moon Star Domain, and I'm very familiar with the prominent figures here, often interacting with peers from noble families."
"Actually, regarding the situations of several songstresses, everyone is very interested. We often exchange information during gatherings, but the President doesn't engage much in such interactions, so she knows less."
"Let me first talk about the most popular and well-followed Lady Ores." She picked up the remote control in her hand, turned on the projection screen in the room, revealing a group photo belonging to the 'Ying Tianxue' Ores' star cluster.
"Lady Ores hails from the prestigious ice spirit Sedide Family, a particularly long-standing ice spirit noble family, also one of the last three Duke Families among the Ice Spirits. Their family emblem is the 'Platycodon Flower Sword.'
"Because of this relation, the star cluster members around Lady Ores almost all come from Elf Families." After finishing, Laisa flipped the screen to show the situations of these members one by one.
"Is there a problem with this?" The girl thought of something but wasn't sure.
"Of course, there is. These noble offspring often place great weight on status and are very exclusive, making it difficult for other students to stand out in their star cluster."
"And because these families frequently have intertwined relationships, delegating matters among them becomes very complicated."
"For example, if you assign her fewer tasks and me more, I'd feel unbalanced, believing this stems from some partiality due to the closeness of relationships, etc."
"Basically, even a normal person would find it hard to excel in such an environment."
"Therefore, I say that despite Lady Ores being outstanding, her star cluster poses no threat, this is a victory for us."
