Chapter 7: Familiar Strangers
Twilight followed Ye Qian to a corner, and the girls standing there were in the same first grade as them, judging by their uniforms.
The pink-haired girl I've seen before isn't here, but stands not far away and fights with a few second-graders.
With a flattering smile on her face, she said something carefully, causing a few second-year graders to burst into laughter from time to time.
"Hello."
Twilight withdrew her gaze from Kururi-e and smiled kindly at the unfamiliar first-year students beside her.
The first-year students stood listlessly, as if they hadn't heard Twilight's voice, and didn't react at all.
Ye Qian shook her head at Twilight, quietly raised two fingers to her, and silently made a lip shape, "Two weeks." ”
Twilight nodded knowingly.
Those few people had already failed the service twice, and it was no wonder that the moment that would decide their fate in three days was the time to greet them.
"Yesterday's task was really tiring, can't you change it at breakfast time? My shoulders are so sore. ”
The girl's grumbling voice suddenly sounded in the auditorium, "Elsa, come and rub me." ”
Her command to elongate the tail note was more like coquettishness.
"Grace Grace,"
Aisha, who was originally heroic and arrogant, followed behind the girl in the red cloak with a suffocated face, "Lord Hera doesn't allow us to cross the line, I'm Ares......"
"Hera's shitty has been expelled, and Hibiscus isn't qualified to say anything, right?"
The girl pulled down her cloak, revealing the scissor-shaped hair ornament pinned to her head, and her silver hair shone in the light.
She glanced at the short-haired girl walking beside her, her red pupils revealing a hint of defiance.
Obviously half a head shorter than Elsa, but the momentum of the cloaked girl completely overwhelmed her, Elsa subconsciously bent her back, and also cast her eyes on the short-haired girl on the side like a help.
But the girl ignored them, and walked past the crowd with a blank face, and sat down at the long table by herself.
She reached out and pinned her short, neatly trimmed dark blue hair behind her ear, picked up a slice of bread, and ate it in small bites.
"Look."
Youni sat down proudly next to the girl named Lijin, "Why don't you come over quickly, I can't order you, a second year who isn't even a goddess?" ”
"Go back to your seat, second grade."
An impatient voice interrupted her, "In terms of rankings, my side has a higher priority. ”
Aisha walked quickly to another long table as if she had been pardoned, but she did not dare to sit down.
"Nan, poppy, ctenopus!"
Youni gritted her teeth and glared at the person sitting next to her, "The ranking of the new issue has not yet come out, why do you think you can still overpower me." ”
"You said 'yet,'"
She let out a disdainful sneer, "You know if I'm going to keep you pressing." ”
Twilight stared straight at the girl sitting next to Youni, it was Shen Nan, but it didn't look like Shen Nan.
She has the same facial features and the same soft black hair as Shen Nan, but her pupils are no longer the gentle caramel color that Twilight remembers in her memory, but like a cold-blooded animal, reflecting an inorganic golden luster in the light.
Her expression was cold and full of malice, and she constantly suppressed the other party with words, as if she could "completely suppress Youni"
It was a great pleasure to do so.
"Nan-sama."
The girls behind her said in unison, "All Hazel has arrived. ”
Nan curled the corners of her mouth in satisfaction like a queen inspecting her troops, "Sit down, you are different from some rabble, remember to maintain your demeanor as Hazel at all times." ”
"You!"
Nan didn't continue to pay attention to Youni, she turned her head slightly, and the figure of Twilight was reflected in her pupils, which made the alarm bell in Twilight's heart loud, and she only felt as if she was being targeted by some dangerous large beast, and the sharp gunshot seemed to sound in her ears again.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Youni said angrily, "What are you looking at?" ”
"A fun first grade."
Nan picked up the teacup on the table and took a small sip, "You bothered Mr. A because he talked to Aisha in the Freshman Tower?" She was a prefect after all, so instead of meddling in Ares's affairs, it was better to play with this first year directly. ”
She playfully curled the corners of her mouth, "It's not the first time Mr. A has seen Elsa...... That's new, new, tower, building. ”
"Heh, what is a prefect...... Wait, you're saying he's not for Elsa? ”
Yuni was surprised, "Could it be this new student?" ”
Nan looked at Youni mockingly, "Maybe Mr. A will treat you differently because of your stupidity and continue to keep it up." ”
But this pleasant love didn't last long, Nan looked at Youni who suddenly quieted down, and her face changed slightly.
"Hee-hee,"
Instead, Youni laughed very sweetly, "Nan, I actually think you're pretty good, especially ...... Those slender legs,"
She gently stroked her hair ornament, and the scissors pinned to the bow emitted a burst of cold light, "I really want to cut it off and collect it......"
Nan retracted her expression and vigilantly put her hand on the revolver she pinned to her waist.
Although Yuni looks like a cute and sweet little Lori on the outside, she has a dark personality that is extremely inconsistent with her appearance, and many times her style can be described as cruel.
A dangerous atmosphere permeated the long table, and the members of Hazel followed Nan's movements, their expressions stiffening towards their weapons.
At this moment, Lijin, who was sitting on the other side of Youni, naturally picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"The first article of the Code of the Goddess prohibits the use of force in the auditorium, and the violator is deprived of ability."
Her tone was flat and unwavering, but the meaning of her words made Nan and Youni's expressions slightly stunned.
After saying this, she didn't pay attention to the reaction of the others, but stood up directly and walked silently to the outside of the auditorium.
"The wooden man will be more talkative, too."
Youni pursed her lips unwillingly, glaring at her back and complaining.
Nan let out another sneer, knowing that Yuni's dangerous state had passed, and her expression slackened.
After Hibiscus completely disappeared from the door of the auditorium, Nan also stood up and said to the members of Hazel, "You eat slowly, there is still plenty of time." ”
Youni pouted unhappily again, but she changed her previous irritability and impulsiveness, and gracefully poured herself a cup of English black tea and tasted it carefully.
Aisha waited for the second grade, and only then did she sit down one after another, and whispered to the people around her about the conflict that had just occurred.
After all the second-year students were seated, Ye Qian let go of the hand that had been holding Twilight Xi.
Together with the first grade, they sat down at the remaining long table.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ye Qian's face was worried, "If I hadn't held you down, you would have jumped out just now." ”
Twilight shook her head, resisting the urge to stand in front of Nan.
"Thank you,"
She whispered, "Do we have to wait until the seniors are all seated before we can sit down?" ”
"Yes, first the goddesses of the third grade, then the seniors of the second grade, and finally us."
Ye Qian nodded and handed a slice of toast to Twilight, "Taste this." ”
Twilight squeezed out a smile and comforted Ye Qian and herself, and had a new understanding of the strict hierarchy of the academy.
"The first three people to sit down were the highest-ranked people here...... Goddess? ”
She tore off a slice of bread with her hand and asked in a whisper.
Ye Qian nodded, "Lord Youni is the leader of Eudora, but she is a little ...... Moodiness. ”
She smiled helplessly, as if she had suffered from Youni, "Nan-sama leads Hazel, Lijin-sama...... He is the strongest man in Ares. ”
"What about the leader of Ares?"
"Ares used to be led by Master Hera, but she was expelled not long ago."
Ye Qian shrunk her neck in fear, "There is no new leader yet...... Tachiki-sama doesn't take care of things much, and without the protection of a leader, Aisha's seniors can't resist the highly-ranked goddess. ”
"Why is Yoni-sama bothering Elsa-senpai?"
Twilight frowned suspiciously, but saw Ye Qian's little face suddenly turn pale.
"First-year freshman."
Youni's sweet voice sounded from behind her, "Come here, I have something to look for you." ”
