Meeting Valda
"Let me check! It's eight o'clock!"
Silvia took out the movie tickets from her handbag and examined them carefully.
"How about we go eat first, then watch a movie, and after the movie, head straight to the Seidoukan to watch the fireworks display!"
Every Academy Festival has a closing ceremony, which is organized by a different school each year.
Last year, for example, the singer's concert was hosted by the Queenvale Girls' Academy.
This is a fireworks festival held by Seidoukan on the coastline.
Silvia nodded in satisfaction with William's arrangements, a look of anticipation on her face.
"Then let's hurry up and go! There's a really good restaurant on campus, I'll take you there!"

The movie was quite good! The theater wasn't completely full, but it was about 70% occupancy.
Most of the people who came to watch the movie were couples like William and Silvia, given how advanced spatial windowing technology is these days.
Aside from nostalgia, most people who choose to watch movies at the cinema are couples looking to create a romantic atmosphere for their date.
"Lucia's acting is pretty good, isn't it!"
Silvia took William's arm and they strolled along the forest path.
This path leads from the movie theater to the beach at Seidoukan, and it's also a secret route Silvia often takes after her concerts.
"Indeed, you don't look like a newcomer at all!"
"With your senior's abilities, she'll probably soon have a place in the international arena."
He personally enjoys watching movies, and in his spare time from cultivation, he would find some well-known films to watch.
My interest in listening to music developed gradually after I got to know Silvia.
"Yes! Actually, when you were in school, you often received invitations from directors and the like."
"But they were all rejected by Petra. It wasn't until my senior's acting skills were fully developed that Petra allowed her to take on roles."
Silvia nodded, her smile unwavering, as if William were praising her, not her senior.
"Your chairman has a good eye!"
"By the way, how far are we from our destination?"
After hearing William's question, Silvia thought for a moment and replied.
"It should be about ten more minutes. There's still about an hour until the fireworks festival starts."
"We still have plenty of time."
After saying this, Silvia stopped walking forward, seemingly implying something.
"In that case, could my friend hiding there not take up too much of my time?"
"Sylvie is really looking forward to this fireworks display."
William also stopped walking and focused his gaze on the shadowy spots on either side of the forest path.
A sudden gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled and whispered.
The air, which was originally fresh and pleasant, suddenly became heavy, and the Prana that were originally calm in the atmosphere began to stir.
Silvia felt an indescribable sense of oppression constantly gathering on her shoulders, trying to crush her.
Just as she was preparing to unleash her singing voice and improve her physical fitness.
William's brows furrowed at this moment, and his right hand, which was not being held by Silvia, swung forward.
Silvia felt a sudden relief on her shoulders; the heavy pressure she had felt earlier vanished in an instant.
"Friend, if you keep pulling these tricks, I won't be so polite!"
Star Power emanated from William in a mist-like form, spreading rapidly towards the forest like ocean waves.
At the same time, he slowly raised his fingers, clenching all the other fingers into a fist, leaving only his index finger pointing forward.
White electricity gathered and took shape at his fingertips, while Star Power also continuously converged at his fingertips.
Silvia also had a solemn expression as she took out a one-handed sword-shaped Lux Armament Activator from her handbag.
This is her backup weapon; her signature weapon, "Life Source," is not something she can carry around.
As a large-scale Lux Armament Activator that integrates gun and sword, even the shape of the Activator itself is quite large.
"Can we pause for a moment? I don't intend to take action immediately."
A deep, steady male voice came from where William's fingertips were pointing.
Then came the crunching of footsteps on the ground, the crunching of leaves and dead wood—three different kinds of footsteps.
It's important to know that everyone's footsteps sound different because this is determined by their individual weight and walking habits.
The sound grew louder and louder, and came closer!
Three figures of varying heights came into their view.
A man wearing an eye mask and a rather expensive-looking suit.
A woman whose appearance was strikingly similar to that of William and Silvia's target.
But her eyes were empty and lifeless, reflecting nothing. The necklace around her neck reflected a black light, like an eye staring at them.
The last one could be considered, to some extent, an acquaintance of William!
Her pale, cascading silver hair and wine-red pupils still held a deep sadness. She wore the uniform of the Le Wolfe Black Academy, and her long, shapely legs were encased in black lace stockings.
"Ursula!"
