Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 824 - 35: Songstress of the Pitch-Black Night
Life had entered a stable phase, Tilan followed the routine and attended classes as usual, had meals and walks with other Songstresses during breaks, and occasionally accepted their invitations to small gatherings, most of which were from Ores and Audrey.
On weekends, she often used the time to rest and occasionally wandered alone in the Academy City, observing all kinds of novel and fresh things here.
Thus, time had reached the end of November, and another day, Tilan and Blanchi finished their piano lesson with Evelyn.
"With this, both of you have gotten the basics of the piano." She said gleefully.
"Thank you, teacher."
Tilan and Blanchi gratefully responded, having spent a good amount of time under Evelyn's intangible aura during this period, their understanding of this Songstress predecessor had also deepened.
Although in many people's eyes, Evelyn appears as a fragile and pitiable great beauty, the two had discovered her unmatched talent and insights in the path of a Songstress during their close interactions, albeit often overshadowed by her appearance, coupled with her quiet personality and reluctance to speak up or initiate conversation about it, so it was little known.
Seizing the free time just after the class, they continued asking Evelyn about matters related to Songstresses.
"Well, if it's about you two, you're not quite set in your styles yet." She put her fingers down from the piano keys, turned around and began explaining slowly in front of them.
"Starting a real Songstress career should begin with a clearly themed album, and this first album often sets the overall style for the Songstress for years to come."
"A single song is just a moment of spiritual light, but if many songs in an album revolve around one theme, it creates a dimensional sensory impact, making it memorable, which is often the first step to becoming renowned."
"Regardless of the purpose, if you want to proceed well on the path of a Songstress, a lot of thought needs to be put into the production of the album, especially the first one."
"What was the theme of your first album, senior Evelyn?" Blanchi asked curiously.
"It was 'Songs of the Forest,' with a cover featuring a forest in the morning light, a thin golden mist, and then my silhouette," Evelyn recalled nostalgically.
"How did it perform?" Blanchi continued to inquire.
"It seemed pretty good." Evelyn's tone was indifferent, as if the feelings from that time were more important to her than the actual success.
Tilan shook her head slightly after listening; this teacher was truly modest. That year, her album broke the Federation's nearly a century-old record, immediately propelling her popularity to the forefront among the Songstresses, truly a peak at debut. Moreover, within a century, Evelyn had also been the fastest-promoted Songstress, taking only 4 years to reach the Moon Class, truly dazzling the world, and such performance also placed her at the center of the Federation's media storm, with various opinions trailing behind her.
"What themes are you two planning to sing, seeing it's also the end of the year, time to prepare."
"Not. At. All. Sure." Blanchi raised her hands in an X-shape, indicating her unpreparedness.
Evelyn looked at her this way and couldn't help but cover her mouth with a light laugh, then turned her gaze to the dark-haired girl to the side.
"What about Tilan?" Compared to Blanchi, Tilan has also been in her career for a few years now, but her number of songs is still pitifully low.
Knowing she couldn't avoid it, the girl spoke with a hint of determination: "I will prepare an album properly."
"Hmm, good luck, Little Tilan." After saying that, she stood up and gazed at the sunlight sprinkling from above.
"I might have to leave, perhaps not see you again for many years." Her words took the two by surprise.
"Didn't you say after teaching us piano, you were going to continue teaching us about knowledge and skills related to Songstresses?" Blanchi couldn't help but ask.
"Originally, that was indeed the plan." She looked at them with a hint of apology.
"But there are some matters back home that probably need my presence to handle."
Hearing this answer, the two felt helpless, truly, there wasn't much that could be done.
"Yet, I'm very glad to have had your company during this time. If only I were stronger myself, then perhaps now…never mind, you two must grow well, do not follow my old path." After saying this, she approached and gently hugged them both, then parted.
It's no wonder she specifically assigned homework and made requests today; it turns out it was because she was leaving.
Knowing that it would likely be difficult to meet again subsequently, the two stayed in the Council of Six Hall and spoke a lot with Evelyn before reluctantly parting.
"So, until next time." Standing alone at the center of the Hall, Evelyn waved goodbye to them.
"Yes, goodbye." The two waved back.
Leaving the Council of Six Hall, Tilan and Blanchi walked together on the school's cobblestone path, discussing things about Evelyn.
"Senior Evelyn is truly the most beautiful and gentle person I've seen." Blanchi spoke with reluctance, always somewhat restrained in front of other Songstresses and teachers in school, only letting her personality show more lively when with Evelyn.
"Yes, really nice." Tilan nodded in agreement, although Evelyn hadn't elaborated, she felt that the issues facing her were probably not simple, and she might find it challenging to find time to come teach them in the Central Star Domain in the future.
