Backstage at the Starfall Auditorium, Sonia looked at the teleprompter board and silently recited the lines she was waiting for, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but walk to the back door, but was quickly stopped by Lois.
"The bathroom isn't over here!"
"I think it would be better if I got a warning!"
"Didn't you make up your mind just now? Why are you backing down now?"
"Because I found that I am not as confident as I thought, and I'm afraid!"
At this time, a handsome young man in a dark blue dress walked up to Sonia and said hello: "Miss Servi, good evening. How can I help you?"
"Mr. Cage, good evening." Sonia greeted quickly, "You came in time. I want to ask you to hold my roommate Lois because she is preventing me from escaping."
This young man is none other than Sonia's co-host, Arsenault Cage, a second-year student in the Fengju Department. He is known as the second-year 'Sword Grass'. His handsome appearance even made the female students spontaneously form a group for him.
fan club.
If it weren't for Felix's incognito private visit and dimensionality reduction attack, he would undoubtedly be the public enemy of all the boys in the school.
"...That's not okay. A gentleman cannot join in the ladies' games."
Arsenu smiled and said: "Professor Lieblom asked me to remind you that the party will start in ten minutes. Please deal with your personal issues as soon as possible and get ready behind the curtain. This is our first time working together. If I
What went wrong, please forgive me Miss Servi, I hope we can become friends after tonight."
Sonia shook her head: "Don't worry, I will definitely make big news that will make it impossible for you to come back. I hope you won't hate me to death after tonight."
The other party was stunned for a moment: "Miss Servi, you are really... very interesting. Then I will wait for you first."
When Arsenu left, Sonia begged: "Let me go, Lois, I'm really scared, my heart is pounding with nervousness, I will definitely cause big trouble!"
"No, no!" Lois shook her head repeatedly: "What about your ambition? You don't want to be Deda Rose? Are you willing to be a swordsman in the future?"
"I understand all the truth, and I also know that I will definitely regret it after I leave, but I still want to leave!"
When the two were entangled, Ingrid and Adele came in from the back door. As soon as Adele entered, she said excitedly: "There is a star falling in the sky outside. Come and see it!"
Ingulit looked at Sonia who looked like she was about to cry: "What's wrong with her?"
Lois said helplessly: "She backed down before the battle, and now she wants to escape again."
"It's strange. The Sonia I know is a swordsman who dares to challenge Felix and Leonie. How could she be so hesitant?" Ingrid thought for a while and suddenly clapped her hands: "I understand.
Sonia is the kind of impulsive player who can show off her strength the more nervous she is, now we just need to push her on stage.”
As the number one fan who witnessed Sonia's rise throughout the whole process, Ingulit's words were unanimously recognized by everyone, so Sonia was pulled to the preparation area behind the curtain, where Professor Lieblom and others who were in charge of the party were
Wait there.
Seeing Sonia arriving, Lieblom nodded slightly, turned to the staff and said, "Prepare to raise the curtain, we can start."
At this point, Sonia has no room to retreat.
She took a deep breath, smoothed the wrinkles on her dress, looked at Arsenu and said, "You can be in the limelight by yourself later and don't communicate too much with me. Remember my advice, the more I speak, the more
The more it is, the more likely it is that something will happen.”
This is the first time Arsenal has heard such a request.
He was also the host of the party last year. At that time, his partner almost tried every means to steal his limelight, interrupting, adding to the drama, and competing for beauty. Arsenu was a little afraid that it would be her again this year, but he did not expect to be replaced by a first-year school girl.
But his biggest expectation for Sonia was to cooperate a little bit. Unexpectedly, Sonia actually gave in, which made him feel quite strange - logically speaking, every party host wants to be the host of the league, so
You should try your best to show off your talents at the party so that the professors can recognize and recommend you.
Did Sonia just come to be a host for fun? Or maybe she just accompanied her friends to participate in the selection, but she was selected instead, so she was not very interested?
Many thoughts flashed through Arsenu's mind, but he nodded slightly: "I will try my best to meet your requirements."
Lieblom said: "The curtain will open in ten seconds. Everyone takes your place. The stage will be given to you two. Remember to turn on the radio."
Arsenu took the lead on the stage. Sonia looked at the stage she had been looking forward to for a long time, and her heart suddenly calmed down for a moment.
"Viewer, are you there?"
Sonia knew there would be no response, but for some reason, she felt that she was suddenly full of courage, her eyebrows were relaxed, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and a smile overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
Viewer, are you also fighting alone?
If I really screw up, you have to make it up to me.
"Dudulu——"
As the orchestra played, the lights came on and the curtain opened.
Facing the gazes of teachers and students from both schools, Sonia was completely in the mood.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I am Arsenault Cage, the host of this evening."
"I'm your host Sonia Servi."
...
...
Broken Lake Prison, Ash's dormitory.
The white-haired hunter Gerald was sitting next to the bed, holding a book borrowed from the talent library in his hand. The title was "A Concise Tutorial on the Basics of Simulated Lightning Spells (Third Edition)". At first glance, it was Ash.
Textbooks that you won’t be able to get into after college.
After watching for a while, Gerald rubbed his eyes and turned to look at Ash who was sitting on the bedside and also reading.
But unlike him, Ash was reading a comic book titled "It's Only Me for Saying I Like Married Women".
It is said that this is a popular love comic that is very popular in Cammon City. Gerald even saw Amy reading this comic in her spare time.
It is said that this book will soon be adapted into a movie and TV series. Ron, who plays the male protagonist, is a member of the same institute as Gerald - but the other is a film and television superstar who is known to love cars, and he is known to everyone.
Afraid of seeing the bloody hunter opening the coffin lid.
Noticing Gerald's eyes, Ash raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to read it? I highly recommend this comic. The depiction of emotions and human nature is very unique and transcends the limitations of race and era. However, it is best to be alone.
Lie in bed and watch it, otherwise you will sometimes be so sweet that you twist like a worm on the bed, and sometimes you will be so sad that your stomach aches."
"I thought you were just acting for me." Gerald said, "It's hard to imagine that you read romance comics."
"Then what is my image in your eyes?"
"You're probably a lunatic who thinks like he's subverting the Blood Moon all the time. I thought the books you read were probably books like "The Crowd", "How to Cause a Void Storm with Your Bare Hands", and "Criminal Law" that will help your career prospects."
"I said I lost my memory. I'm not a cult leader at all." Ya Xiu sighed: "Now I just want to face the sea, with spring flowers blooming, and spend the rest of my life peacefully."
"Interesting," Gerald smiled: "You don't seem afraid of me. I thought you didn't dare to go back to the dormitory tonight and hid in someone else's room for the night."
"Why are you afraid? You won't do anything to me."
"No, you are the only ones with shackles. My authority rules are very clean and there are no prohibitions." Gerald reached out to touch the long sword leaning on the edge of the bed: "In other words, as long as I want, you can be killed at any time.
Landing."
"Then I don't have to be afraid." Ya Xiu was very calm: "Anyway, you can do it at any time, and the prison is not big. If you really want to do something to me, I can't escape at all. Stay in your dormitory, at least
You can die with dignity."
"Besides, I don't believe you would do anything to me. Now I am just a death row prisoner being chased by the Blood Moon Trial. I am living an ignoble life every day. You will gain nothing by killing me. I can't think of any need for you to kill me."
reasons."
Gerald touched the hilt of the sword and let go.
"Indeed, this is also the correct way to deal with the scum - killing cannot create value. Instead of killing you outright, it is better to let you slowly rot and grow maggots in this prison, like a clown to please those who are disturbed by you.
Frightened citizens, you will die an extremely ugly death in the end, draining your value to make up for the sins you have committed."
"To be honest, I quite agree with this approach." Ya Xiu complained: "It would be better if I was not a permanent resident here."
"But your condition looks very relaxed." Gerald's pupils flashed with blood: "It's not my first time here - many of the people who were just captured by me have changed their spirits.
You are very unstable, hysterical, repentant, begging for mercy, all kinds of things, but this is the first time I have seen you so natural and relaxed."
"Do you already have a way to leave this prison?"
Ash looked at each other and Gerald said, "Yes, I'm waiting for you to find out that you arrested the wrong person and your conscience to let me go."
Gerald laughed loudly, took out a wine bottle from his arms and took a sip, "I was a little worried that I had arrested the wrong person, but when I heard you say that, I felt relieved."
"ah?"
"I didn't expect that you actually had a way to escape from prison!"
Zheng!
The moment Gerald swung his sword, Ash wanted to use Kill My Miracle on himself. He took out the Honey Belly Sword from his mouth and fought with Gerald. But he still resisted this impulse - even if he used it
I miraculously lifted the chip restriction, but with the strength of his Silver Wing, even if Gerald gave him both hands and feet, he would be able to crush him effortlessly!
The sword blade kissed Ash's neck, drawing a shallow blood mark.
Gerald's nose moved, and the scarlet in his pupils became deeper and deeper.
"...Why did you come to this conclusion?" Ashus asked.
"Intuition." Gerald said calmly: "Besides, I also guessed your jailbreak method."
Ash's heart was pounding - no way!? They didn't even have time to act, and this was discovered?
Is this the strength of the blood mad hunter captain and the three-winged holy domain magician?
Or is there a traitor?
"You must want the Four Pillar Gods to rescue you, right?"
Ash's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he had an incredible expression on his face, as if he saw someone falling down ten meters away from the car.
After a brief silence, he said with difficulty: "I haven't read the law, but I think the criminal procedure here should be 'a suspicion of innocence'! Even if you want to unjustly accuse me, you can at least give me some evidence so that I can die willingly."
, instead of just using your conjecture to directly convict me!"
"Captain Gerrard, you are a very busy man, why would you bother me, a little prisoner, like this?"
"Because I actually came here specifically for you, Ash Hiss."
Ash was stunned.
Gerald said: "Someone told me that you would escape from prison. He hoped that I could stop your actions and directly eliminate you as the source of trouble... He even spent a lot of favors just to invite me to Broken Lake.
.”
"Killing a prisoner is actually a very serious crime. Except for a few people in Cammon City, no one is exempt from this crime, and I am one of them."
The name that followed him like a shadow jumped out of Ash's heart almost instantly. A chill ran through Ash's body, and the murderous intention coming from the sword made Ash feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
But he still asked: "Who is it?"
"Chillin Dole." Gerald said quietly: "He said that the remnants of the Four Pillar God cult must not continue to live in the world."
"In order to stop the Four Pillar Gods and for the glory of the Blood Moon, Asher Hiss must die."
