Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 769 - 11: Tea Party Gathering and Ores’s Hospitality_2

"All those later-acquired things, if one diligently searches, will definitely find a suitable person. After some training and packaging, a brand-new pop star is born."

"You don't even need a person; if you use high-rank AI to simulate human voices, it could sing even more melodiously and diversely than real people, with the ability to change vocal tones at will."

"These are but superficial veneers," Ores said, showing her disdain.

"Is that so." Blanchi said, looking down a bit dejectedly. She had been thinking about working hard to practice singing and vocal techniques, but now she felt demotivated by the blow.

Seeing this, Yianqing gently grasped her hand, speaking to soothe her.

"It's okay, Ores just hates that kind of excessive commercial behavior, not that there's anything wrong with being technically skilled."

"Even for a songstress, one must practice a lot. If not using Talent Ability, purely comparing vocal techniques, they might not necessarily be stronger than those pop stars," Hexia also added a few words.

Ores wanted to add something else, but Hexia touched her leg to remind her and reluctantly held back, glancing at the scenery outside the window instead.

It was somewhat quiet for a time, then the topic shifted to other matters, and the conversation gradually grew lively again.

After lunch, the four of them returned to their places, and then it was time to move to the accommodations arranged by the academy.

"So, you're telling me, this whole area is mine?"

At four in the afternoon, Hexia stood in front of the mansion's gate that resembled a manor and stopped, her voice expressing surprise.

"That's right, Hexia, this area is about the size of two football fields, and it's all allocated to you," the student president with black hair and red eyes informed Hexia.

"My name is Seviya, I'm here today to help Hexia with the accommodations." After lunch, this girl, who was about as tall as Tilan, was waiting for her in front of the new students' apartments.

As she walked Hexia through the area, Seviya described the purposes of these buildings.

"The entire perimeter of the area can raise walls that block the line of sight, or they can be replaced with fences that offer a tranquil style, and it's even possible to leave them open. The area is on the outskirts of Golden Flame Flower Academy, which means, you can leave the school grounds directly from here without using the school's main or side gates."

"Inside the area, you can arrange for anyone you wish to live here, but if those living here need to enter the school, they would require a pass, which is your responsibility to vouch for, and there is a limit to the number of people."

As Seviya spoke, she used her personal terminal to display a map projection, which showed that Golden Flame Flower Academy's grounds were shaped like a shield, and the residences of the songstresses were located at the top row of the shield shape, directly connected to the outside world.

"The area is pre-set with a classic style mansion, whose rooms and bedrooms can accommodate about 60 people normally. You can also change the style and architecture to your liking, but any such changes would have to be financed by you, and the school will restore them to their original states after you graduate."

During high school, songstresses are cultivated and learn like normal students, but at college, everything changes. In essence, this setup is about nurturing leaders of large groups and managing one's own team. These assigned living areas are like states within a school, with the songstress having a substantial degree of autonomy and control.

This approach gradually reveals some underlying truths: The view of the Federal Upper Echelon and the common people towards songstresses is completely different.

For ordinary people, the songstresses' existence is similar to that of pop stars, with moving performances, strong influence, beautiful and unattainable.

But in the eyes of the Federal Upper Echelon, these songstresses are born leaders, possessing unrivaled personal charm and persuasive power, even carrying a Transcendent effect's empowerment and sympathetic abilities. They play an even more crucial role in maintaining the integrity and unity of the Federation than fleets do and are more effective. The natural influence of songstresses always manages to gather many people willing to serve their cause.

Rather than neglecting such talent abilities, it's better to guide and nurture them while in school, to prevent some songstresses from being deceived and used due to a lack of experience, or even potentially going down the wrong path, etc.

Afterward, Seviya led Hexia into the mansion and introduced each function-specific room one by one, including a dedicated music hall, grand ballroom, luxurious bedrooms, bathing areas, fully equipped kitchens, and even autonomous security units, as well as the mansion's main control center manned by high-rank AIs, among others.

"As a songstress, Hexia should have no shortage of people around her, so the school will not provide related service personnel. You can recruit and arrange them on your own," Seviya said.

This, in fact, was not easy to say, but Hexia held back the urge to complain.

At night, Hexia and Geyin slept in the master bedroom, and with just the two of them in the vast mansion, it felt a bit cold and empty, while on the other side, Blanchi decided to spend the night at Ailu Kelu's mansion. The girl with the purple ears, a big cat, was now a third-year student at the school, quite free-spirited, occasionally attending classes and the rest of the time either busy with other things or not busy at all, simply playing.

In contrast, Ores and Shui Yanqing moved into the mansions arranged by the school quickly and proficiently. In Ores's mansion, all the attendants were elves, not only good-looking but many from noble elf families, and were family elites, resembling a luxurious court.

Shui Yanqing's side was somewhat different; her mansion was like a cold and neat research center or laboratory, which housed numerous researchers from giant corporations and professionals responsible for security, all unified in uniform and wearing identity badges, efficient and capable.

The next day, the three were invited by Ores to join her for lunch at her mansion, along with a few other songstresses from the Golden Flame Flower Academy.

"Long time no see, Tilan," said Ores.

Upon seeing Hexia, 'White Swan' Audrey wrapped her arms around her in a hug, they exchanged nostalgic conversation and then hand in hand, they walked into the dining hall arranged by Ores. The decor inside was luxurious; in just one day, everything was already set up perfectly.

The ceiling and dome were adorned with gilded and silver-blue floral decorations, and the furniture within was also top grade, made of high-end native transcendental wood, with equally well-dressed ice spirit elf maids. The physical capabilities of these maids were generally above Sequence 6, full of elegance.

As one of the top five most popular songstresses, Ores had debuted earlier than any of the songstresses present and came from the most luxurious family background. The luncheon she hosted as the mistress of the house could indeed be described as luxurious.

On the long main table, various T3 grade exquisite dishes were displayed, along with an assortment of beverages to accompany them. Just these alone cost millions of Federation Coins.

Seating alongside Audrey, Hexia noticed the other familiar songstresses; Blanchi was whispering to Ailu Kelu, Prin sat opposite with two members in black and red uniforms following her, Shui Yanqing appeared to be reading something on the projection screen, and Ores was currently entertaining another acquaintance, who also seemed to be a songstress.

"When did you get here, Tilan? Why didn't you contact me?" Audrey said with a small complaint after sitting down.

"At that time, I thought about exploring on my own first, not wanting to bother others. I didn't expect school to start so soon and then got caught up with other things, so I didn't see Audrey," Hexia explained.

Actually, she wasn't the type to initiate social contact. She had not even reached out to Prin at the time, but Prin had learned about her arrival in the Central Star Domain early on, as both came from the same place, and many acquaintances would inform one another of such news.

"Later, when you have time, you can come over to my place for a few days. There are quite a few descendants of The East factions in the Academy City," Audrey mentioned the situation here.

"I will," Hexia agreed, indeed feeling a bit curious about whether the heritage of the Wufeng lineages was still being passed on today.

As the two talked, Ores finished her conversation with the other songstress and came over together.

"Welcome everyone to the gathering I'm hosting today. This is 'Azure Painting' Idrylia," Ores announced.

With that, the songstress dressed in a deep blue gown bent slightly and greeted everyone. She looked to be around twenty-eight, slightly mature.
