Chapter 389: Forty-nine, I have already gotten what I wanted (6K)
Hewinia had not anticipated the accident to arrive so quickly.
Orenna had successfully ascended.
A new Golden Note, and it was the Seventh Note, had just appeared.
For Hewinia, the impact was immense, and the most direct issue was, now that she was no longer the only Seventh Note, would Phinis continue to work with her? ƒrēenovelkiss.com
With Orenna, her own younger sister here, why would there be any reason to choose Hewinia, who required concessions, over someone with the same note?
If that was the case, wouldn’t Hewinia’s plans all be scrapped?
Then how would she continue to approach Phinis?
Phinis was even further off, and right now, the nearest one, standing right before her, was Tupac.
It was almost nightfall, and if it hadn’t been for this accident, Hewinia would have already set out to prepare for harvesting Tupac.
Should she still continue now?
A myriad of doubts flooded into Hewinia’s mind all at once, causing her to feel an unusual agitation and think, “Even just one day later, if only Orenna’s ascension to Golden Note could be delayed by just one more day. I could have taken Tupac’s Golden Note first.”
At that moment, Bai Wei spoke slowly, “Are you anxious, Hewinia?”
Hewinia did not deny it, “Yes.”
“Have you already forgotten what I told you just now?”
…Just now?
After a brief stupor, Hewinia recalled what Bai Wei had suddenly mentioned before, that uncontrollable accident.
At that time, Hewinia did not understand what Bai Wei meant, but now…
Hewinia immediately asked, “Did you already guess that Orenna could ascend successfully?”
“Not really,” Bai Wei said with a smile, “I just felt that things might not go as smoothly as we had anticipated. Accidents always happen, but how exactly they present themselves, I do not know.”
Bai Wei’s words were half true.
He indeed experienced the entire Holy Sound plot as a player in the game, but that plot progressed after Hewinia had already died early.
In the normal timeline, Hewinia would have died long ago.
Not just her, but the Treell Family that had obtained the Golden Score also died off mostly due to their exposed secret… Yes, in the original plot, Hewinia’s busty best friend was just a mantis being preyed on by birds.
But now, Hewinia had survived.
The most restless, uncontrollable, and noisy little mantis was preserved by Bai Wei, the Hunter who hid at the back, intending to catch the bird, and the change she brought was no less significant than the butterfly causing a storm by flapping its wings.
At least, in Bai Wei’s memory, Orenna did ascend successfully, but not today.
Her ascension happened earlier.
Bai Wei was also uncertain whether it was related to the stimulation Hewinia gave her the day before last.
However, the unexpected did happen, and Bai Wei’s previous words were both a warning to Hewinia and a reminder to himself not to be careless in this extremely uncontrollable storm.
Hewinia was unsure how much of Bai Wei’s words were true, but upon hearing his still relaxed tone, she too quickly calmed down.
Yes, the accident had already happened, and continuing to complain was pointless, especially since there was not much time left now.
Hewinia glanced out the window, the sun had already set. She needed to quickly clarify her thoughts and make a decision.
She slowly closed her eyes.
Setting aside those additional factors, there was only one question she needed to consider now.
Tupac’s Golden Note; to take it or not.
While Hewinia was contemplating, Bai Wei did not interrupt her, thus the room remained quiet, filled only with the sounds of breathing and heartbeats.
When the sun had completely set, in that instant when the last streak of daylight was swallowed by the night,
Hewinia opened her eyes and, without a hint of hesitation, picked up her Magic Wand and left the dormitory.
…
The news of Orenna becoming a Golden Note spread like a fierce wind throughout the Third Academy.
Everyone who learned of this news could not help showing a surprised expression.
Especially now, as the Seven Notes·Syllable was coming to an end and the opening ceremony of the festival had already begun, the news of this successful ascension meant so much.
Those unaware of Ascension Magic were surprised, soon asking around how it was achieved. Those knowledgeable about Ascension Magic could not help but wonder internally, if Orenna could do it, could they also?
The people were restless, and no one paid attention to the opening ceremony that followed.
And Tupac saw all of this.
“Really, Phinis’s sister actually succeeded,” Tupac scratched his head, speaking with some distress, “This is troublesome… Hewinia will not just be pushed towards Daniel now.”
This was what Tupac cared about most.
If Phinis really abandoned Hewinia for Orenna, then it would be difficult for him to approach Hewinia again, as he lacked the confidence to compete with the Taichu family.
Though it was very likely that Phinis might still betroth Orenna to Tupac.
But how to say it? Although both were Golden Notes, Tupac definitely preferred Hewinia, as it was an instinct for procreation.
Luckily, as Phinis was preparing for the opening ceremony and didn’t know Tupac was still in Third Academy, he couldn’t make Tupac leave Hewinia right now, thus Tupac still had room to maneuver.
