If He Could Wake Up

The scene was a complete mess.

Apart from Molly, who was still sobbing, no one else said a word.

The Dean looked grim, his gaze shifting between Ka Lun and He Wei Ni Ya before finally settling on Ka Lun first.

"Explain yourself," the Dean said. "Ka Lun, what are you doing?"

"Hmm?" Ka Lun tilted her head, amused, and said, "Is that even a question? You've all seen it. Do you want me to demonstrate it for you again? That's not impossible, it just depends on whether that guy is willing to cooperate."

The Dean looked coldly at Ka Lun: "If you think I'm joking with you, then you can continue to talk nonsense. What happened tonight, even the Chu Ke Family can't protect you."

"...Alright, alright." Ka Lun shrugged. "Just tell me who died, was it my poor brother?"

Standing behind the Dean, Todd roared angrily, "Ka Lun!"

The Dean raised his hand to interrupt Todd, and then continued, "Didn't you feel the alarm on the bracelet?"

"How is that possible?" Ka Lun slowly raised her left hand, revealing that the bracelet on her left wrist was still fiery red. "This thing burned me pretty badly. Ah, and it wasn't just me. When I just put this thing inside that woman, she screamed so loudly... Okay, okay, enough joking. Anyway, you all saw it, right? My alarm system is still working."

"Then why are you unmoved?"

"Unmoved?" Ka Lun looked at the Dean and smiled again. "It's not me who's going to die, so what does it have to do with me? Besides, you're afraid of that guy, but I'm not. You should know very well that he won't come looking for me."

As he spoke, he pointed to the musical notes on his body, which was covered in tumors.

"Does he really want a note like mine? Does he even dare to want it? You should all know that. Besides, I was born with this ability. Do you think he can copy it?"

"So, I'm the least likely person to be that guy's target. He knows that, and you all know it too."

"If that's the case, why should I get involved in your affairs? What if I get accidentally injured if I go out rashly?"

"It's better to stay in the dorm and be happy. That way, if my poor brother gets killed, I can still attend his funeral, right?"

Todd was furious with Ka Lun, but he didn't say anything, because everyone present knew that Ka Lun was the least likely target and the least likely person to be impersonated.

Even so, the Dean insisted on being official. "I need to examine your body to make sure you're not Xi Ze."

"Whatever." Ka Lun shrugged. He wasn't wearing any clothes to begin with, only using a blanket to cover his private parts. When the Dean announced that he would be checking, he winked at the school staff present, then suddenly yanked off the blanket. "Here you go, you can see if you want."

He has absolutely no sense of shame.

He Wei Ni Ya could only lower her head in time, looking helpless.

The Dean didn't say anything more and simply raised his staff, pointing it at Ka Lun.

In less than a minute, he put the staff away.

"Yes, no problem."

"I already said no one can imitate me," Ka Lun said calmly. "If someone can steal all this stuff from me, that's their skill. Is it really necessary to go through all that trouble?"

"Even if it wasn't you, you would still be punished, Ka Lun," the Dean said calmly. "At the very least, the school rules don't allow bringing members of the opposite sex into the school."

"I admit it," Ka Lun said with a smile. "It would be best to post it as a punishment notice... By the way, it must be her full name, Ka Lun Chu Ke. Our Chu Ke Family has always been upright and honest, and we absolutely cannot omit her name."

"Don't worry," the Dean said calmly, "You won't be left behind."

Then, the Dean turned around, walked past Todd, who was so angry his face turned purple, and stood in front of He Wei Ni Ya.

"Alright, Miss He Wei Ni Ya." The Dean's tone wasn't as harsh as when he was talking to Ka Lun; in fact, it even carried a faint smile. "Next, it's your turn. Please tell me about your situation... As you know, something big happened tonight, and I need to get information on everyone."

... It still came.

He Wei Ni Ya knew very well that the Dean's biggest suspicion right now wasn't about Ka Lun, but about her.

What he said to Ka Lun now was merely to show everyone that he was acting according to procedures and regulations, and not to target him personally.

After all, she was still the principal's favorite student on the surface.

"Of course, Dean," He Wei Ni Ya said, trying to remain calm. "You can just ask."

"Very good, then let's proceed according to the previous procedure. Everyone will have to go through this process later," the Dean said with a smile. "Can I see your bracelet?"

He Wei Ni Ya nodded, then raised her hand.

Her wrist was the same as Ka Lun's, the bright red bracelet looking like a branding iron.

"So, you were also warned," the Dean said. "In that case, where were you at that time? In your dormitory?"

"No," He Wei Ni Ya shook her head. "I'm in the Self-Study Room."

"Self-Study Room?"

"Yes."

"Excuse my intrusion, Miss He Wei Ni Ya, what are you doing in the Self-Study Room at this hour?"

Before He Wei Ni Ya could explain, a school janitor rushed in. "Dean, we couldn't find Miss He Wei Ni Ya in the dormitory, we only found a letter... uh?"

The school janitor who rushed in was taken aback when he saw He Wei Ni Ya talking to the Dean.

The Dean looked up and saw the letter in the hand of the school janitor.

Even though it was only a glance, he could see most of the contents of the letter, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"I only asked you to go see Miss He Wei Ni Ya, not to enter her room," the Dean said coldly. "You even tampered with Miss He Wei Ni Ya's private correspondence? Who gave you permission to do that?"

After a brief moment of surprise, the school janitor quickly recovered and immediately apologized to He Wei Ni Ya: "I'm sorry, Miss He Wei Ni Ya, I was being presumptuous."

He Wei Ni Ya pursed her lips and shook her head. "It's alright, it's just a letter to a friend. Of course, it would be even better if you could return it to me."

The school janitor glanced at the Dean without thinking. The Dean nodded slightly, and the janitor immediately returned the letter.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, He Wei Ni Ya carefully folded the letter, as if it were something extremely important, and then slowly put it away.

During this time, the Dean did not say anything, but just waited quietly.

Only after He Wei Ni Ya had put the letter away did he speak again, "Miss He Wei Ni Ya, since you received the warning, why didn't you come to find us?"

"This..." He Wei Ni Ya bit her lower lip lightly, "I'm a little scared."

"Fear?"

"Yes, I've met Xi Ze. I know what kind of person he is," He Wei Ni Ya said. "I was afraid that if I left the Self-Study Room without knowing the situation, I would run into him, so I stayed in the Self-Study Room and didn't move. At least there were still people in the Self-Study Room. I waited until I found out your location before I came over... I'm sorry, I was really scared."

"Fear is human nature, Miss He Wei Ni Ya," the Dean said. "I understand, but... you said you've been in the Self-Study Room the whole time, so someone must have seen you?"

"Yes," He Wei Ni Ya replied, "But I don't know them. If you don't believe me, Dean, you can call them here, and then you'll know."

He Wei Ni Ya's emphasis is on "here".

She had too little time, and the door was blocked, so there was no way for her to get to the study room immediately to use [Domination].

That's why she steered the conversation towards the fact that the Dean had brought those people here to confront her.

In this way, she can use [Dominion] on the spot.

Although it was a risky move, and given He Wei Ni Ya's current physical condition, it would be difficult for her to use [Dominion] too many times, she had no other choice at the moment.

"I see, I understand now." The Dean nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "There's no need to have someone come to verify it. Of course, I trust you and understand you, so we can just do it in the last step."

... Here it comes.

He Wei Ni Ya's pupils narrowed slightly.

The last step... is naturally testing.

Although He Wei Ni Ya possesses the ability to hide sheet music and musical notes, she doesn't know how effective this ability will be in front of the Dean.

Since that's the case, we can only use [Dominate].

While using [Domination] on the Dean is certainly riskier and more costly than using [Domination] on anyone else, however...

"Let me do it, Dean." A female voice came from behind the group. "Miss He Wei Ni Ya is, after all, a girl. It's a bit inappropriate for a grown man like you to just look at her naked body like this."

Everyone was slightly taken aback and subconsciously turned their heads to see a tall woman standing behind them.

It was Anita.

"Oh... Miss Anita?" The Dean seemed somewhat surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"The principal sent me."

"... The principal knows?"

"Of course," Anita said calmly. "With such a big thing happening tonight, it's hard for the principal not to know."

"It's my fault," the Dean said guiltily. "I didn't take good care of this college for the principal."

"There's no need for further self-blame, Dean. You know I'm not very good at comforting people," Anita said, turning her gaze to He Wei Ni Ya. "So, can I handle the child's examination?"

Upon hearing Anita's suggestion, the Dean hesitated only briefly before smiling and saying, "Of course. In fact, even if you didn't come, I would have sent someone to find you. After all, it's not easy for us to examine Miss He Wei Ni Ya. If you're willing to help, that would be even better, but it's best not to go too far."

"Of course," Anita nodded. "It's in the next room; you can all hear it."

With Anita's sudden intervention, He Wei Ni Ya had no choice but to follow her to the next room.

Therefore, the target of [Domination] must be changed.

However, the strength of both the Dean and Anita is unknown to He Wei Ni Ya.

But for some reason, He Wei Ni Ya always felt that Anita was more dangerous than the Dean was officially the second most important person in the academy.

After entering the next room, He Wei Ni Ya began to undress slowly, while mentally considering how to use the fewest words possible to guide [Domination].

"Miss Anita," He Wei Ni Ya said slowly, "I..."

"Alright."

Anita suddenly spoke loudly, startling He Wei Ni Ya, and then walked straight past her without giving He Wei Ni Ya time to react.

Then, He Wei Ni Ya heard Anita speaking to the Dean in the next room.

"Dean, He Wei Ni Ya has no problems whatsoever; she is who she is."

He Wei Ni Ya turned her head and stared intently at Anita's back, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She hasn't used [Dominate] yet.

Why is that?

A minute later, He Wei Ni Ya returned to her previous room after getting dressed again.

Everyone was watching her, but when she looked around, she couldn't see Anita.

"Miss Anita has already left," the Dean said calmly. "She has to go back to take care of the principal and said she can't take you back to your dormitory. She told you to be careful on your way."

He Wei Ni Ya nodded gently. "I will... So, may I leave now?"

"Of course," the Dean said with a light laugh. "Let me see you out."

The Dean did not give He Wei Ni Ya a chance to refuse and walked directly to her side.

This made He Wei Ni Ya realize that the Dean clearly did not believe Anita's previous statements, or at least not completely.

But she couldn't show anything, so she could only pretend she didn't know anything and gratefully thank the Dean.

The rest of the people remained where they were, waiting to be inspected, while the Dean left with He Wei Ni Ya.

As they walked down the corridor, the Dean remained silent, so He Wei Ni Ya could only follow behind him with utmost caution.

However, the Dean did not take any further action.

They stopped when they reached the door.

"That's enough for now," the Dean said with a smile. "I won't see you off, Miss He Wei Ni Ya."

He Wei Ni Ya's pupils narrowed slightly.

Is this meant to let her go back to the Girls' Dormitory alone?

Given that the situation in Xi Ze is still uncertain?

She understood what was going on, but pretended not to, and nodded gratefully to the Dean: "Thank you, Dean."

Then Open the door and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the Dean spoke again, "Do you know the Tuning Master, Miss He Wei Ni Ya?"

He Wei Ni Ya stopped and turned to look at the Dean.

"You must have seen him in the Girls' Dormitory, right?"

"Yes, Dean." He Wei Ni Ya nodded. "Isn't that the one next to you?"

To the left of the Dean was a Tuning Master sitting in the wall like a sculpture.

"Yes, this is Tuning Master." The Dean gently patted the male Tuning Master on the shoulder. "It has always been said that Tuning Master cannot perceive anything in the outside world while they are tuning."

"Yes, I've heard of it."

"But it's actually fake."

He Wei Ni Ya's pupils narrowed slightly.

"Actually, he can sense everything outside, but not through his five senses, but through a more acute sensitivity to music," the Dean said. "In other words, he can definitely remember any musician who walks past him. So, do you think he might know who the musician was who opened that door last?"

He Wei Ni Ya pursed her lips, then gently tucked her messy hair behind her ear.

"If he wakes up," He Wei Ni Ya said, "Then he might indeed know everything."

"Of course," the Dean said with a light laugh, "If he can wake up."

Then, he paused for a moment.

"However, I will wake him up."
