He Wei Ni Ya's Half Hour
After leaving the library, He Wei Ni Ya took another route back to her dormitory.
Although they encountered several school workers on the way, none of them stopped He Wei Ni Ya.
Because there were so many musicians in the academy who got up to study at this time, He Wei Ni Ya, carrying her books, directly portrayed herself as a "clumsy girl who wanted to study early but forgot to bring her textbooks because she was in such a hurry to leave home and had to rush back to the dormitory."
Even so, she remained on edge throughout the return journey.
After all, if a school worker had stopped her and made her take off the coat that seemed out of place for her, they would have seen the wounds on her body that had reopened from running.
Many times, she felt like the blood was about to flow uncontrollably down her thighs.
Fortunately, she managed to get back to her dormitory.
When she returned to her room and closed the door, He Wei Ni Ya felt like her whole body was about to fall apart.
If she could, she really wanted to lie down on the bed right now and never wake up.
But she had no choice; she knew she couldn't do that because Ariana's class was coming up soon.
As a Gold Rank, skipping a class or two occasionally wouldn't be a big deal for her, but it would definitely attract attention. Moreover, He Wei Ni Ya had left a bad impression on Ariana in the previous class, so if she skipped this class again, it would be hard for Ariana not to feel even more resentful towards her, thinking that she was a "snobbish" who no longer respected her after officially becoming a Gold Rank.
That was something He Wei Ni Ya could not accept.
Moreover, she killed Ayman, and she didn't know how the School Worker Department would react. If she, who never skipped class, skipped class again at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So even though He Wei Ni Ya was exhausted, she could only force herself to stay awake, take off Auger's coat and throw it aside, then quickly walk to the dressing table and begin to groom herself.
When He Wei Ni Ya saw her tired, haggard appearance in the mirror, looking as if she might faint at any moment, she felt somewhat like a stranger to herself.
"Hmm... why does my partner always look like he's about to die?" Bai Wei's leisurely voice echoed in my mind.
He Wei Ni Ya took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing slightly, and then said as calmly as possible, "Does Mr. Visas enjoy making sarcastic remarks so much?"
"Why are you making sarcastic remarks? Haven't I been helping you the whole time?"
"... Have you been helping me all this time?"
"Yes," Bai Wei said, "Didn't I lend you my fingers? Without me, you'd only have nine fingers left."
He Wei Ni Ya: "...?"
It took her several seconds to suppress the urge to say something.
Moreover, He Wei Ni Ya is now unsure how to approach Bai Wei.
In this academy, she presents different personas and personalities to everyone, and these are all disguises.
But Bai Wei bypassed her disguise and entered her body. Moreover, he even saw her true appearance yesterday, which was a great disadvantage for He Wei Ni Ya.
The two are currently in an extremely unequal relationship. Apart from knowing that Bai Wei is a rather troublesome evil entity, she knows nothing else, while Bai Wei knows almost everything about her, if not everything.
Therefore, such interactions will only put He Wei Ni Ya at a greater disadvantage.
Fortunately...
He Wei Ni Ya glanced out of the corner of her eye at the books she had brought back from the library.
She should soon find out exactly what Bai Wei is, and only then will she start thinking about how to deal with Bai Wei.
But now is not the time. After all, she can't look at it in front of Bai Wei right now. She just took the book back as a "prop to disguise her identity," and she only caught a glimpse of its contents out of the corner of her eye. Bai Wei probably didn't see it. So now, she absolutely cannot let Bai Wei discover the existence of the book.
We can only wait until we have an opportunity to seal Bai Wei away before we can see what happens.
Moreover, the biggest problem right now doesn't come from Bai Wei.
She can still distinguish between what's important and what's not.
After glancing once more at the slowly rising sun outside the window, He Wei Ni Ya mentally estimated the time.
She has half an hour left.
In half an hour, she must transform herself from the sloppy and decadent girl she is now into the proud girl Hevinia!
Having made her decision, she immediately opened all the bottles and jars on her dressing table.
These are all cosmetics, of course.
He Wei Ni Ya rarely uses cosmetics because the spectrum allows her to maintain the original owner's most beautiful state most of the time, so using cosmetics is somewhat superfluous.
But that doesn't mean she can't use them, because the original He Wei Ni Ya was a true young lady from a wealthy family.
So, in order not to reveal any flaws, she, who came from the Seed Zone and had never even heard of cosmetics before, let alone had any prior experience with them, learned to use them in the shortest amount of time. With the help of magic, she became proficient and could even chat with any girl for a whole day and night.
Of course, she doesn't completely avoid using makeup. When approaching certain girls, she will apply some imperfect makeup to herself in order to get closer to those girls who are not as good as her in any other way but have outstanding looks.
However, this is the first time I've had to completely wash away my disheveled "makeup" like today.
With the dance of that Magic Power chalk, no more than half a finger long, He Wei Ni Ya's damaged eyebrows were quickly repaired, her pale cheeks immediately turned rosy, and the wounds on her body "healed" with each swing.
The weariness in his eyes faded quickly, and they became bright and energetic again.
She was like a brilliant conductor, with all sorts of cosmetics playing a hymn of "revival" on her face.
After doing all that, there were only ten minutes left.
The problem now is the smell. Without the coat to cover it up, the bloody and foul odor emanating from He Wei Ni Ya is completely unmistakable.
There was no time to wash her body now, so He Wei Ni Ya simply picked up a bottle of perfume that smelled similar to her own body odor and sprayed it on.
After finishing, she took out a new robe from the wardrobe, put it on, and then walked to the mirror again, turning her back to look at the back of her neck.
On that swan-like white neck, the brilliant Golden Seventh Sound was faintly visible, exuding a unique allure.
Finally, she picked up Auger's coat, quickly washed it with [Third Note · Tide Summoning], and then dried it with other spells.
Finally, she sprayed the perfume evenly on it.
Thirty minutes have passed.
The sun has fully risen.
He Wei Ni Ya calmly walked out of the room.
Ariana yawned as she left the room, preparing to go to class.
Then, she saw He Wei Ni Ya standing in front of her, panting heavily, and couldn't help but frown slightly. "What's wrong, Miss He Wei Ni Ya? What are you doing here?"
"Professor Ariana, I, I, I..." He Wei Ni Ya looked very nervous.
"Um?"
"...You have class soon, let me get your textbooks for you!" He Wei Ni Ya bowed deeply, her hat even falling off. "Please don't hold my offense against you the other day!"
Ariana opened her mouth slightly, and after a brief moment of surprise, she seemed to remember something. She then narrowed her eyes slightly, and the surprise on her face gradually turned into a smile.
"You."
Wearing only a thin shirt, Auger was shivering in his seat.
Then, his coat was handed to him by a hand.
He instinctively took it, and then heard a familiar voice.
"Thank you for last night, I've already cleaned you up."
Auger stared blankly at He Wei Ni Ya, who was smiling slyly at him.
The coat in his hand was emitting the same scent as He Wei Ni Ya's.
It smells wonderful.
There will be another chapter later, but I felt this content was suitable for a separate chapter, so I posted it first.
