Chapter 154

"What? Are you envious?"

Luo Mio let out a cold snort.

What do I envy?

Sylvia chuckled.

"Of course, this His Highness is more popular than you."

She glanced at her Luo Mio said sarcastically, "You're ranked second."

"..."

Clearly, Sylvia knew what Luo Mio meant.

Her pale purple eyes, hidden beneath the wide brim of her hat, glared angrily at Luo Mio.

"I am the world-renowned number one diva."

Luo Mio remained indifferent, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "You're ranked second."

"Then... that songstress's fame is also above yours."

"You're ranked second."

"You!"

Sylvia grinded her teeth in anger.

"Can't you say something else?!"

"Huh?" Luo Mio raised an eyebrow and said, "Then I'll grant your request."

"..." Suddenly, Sylvia had a bad feeling.

"You were the runner-up in the 'King Dragon Star Martial Festival'."

"..."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, several hash marks instantly appeared on Sylvia's forehead.

"What's the difference between you and being ranked second?!"

Sylvia roared angrily.

"Of course there is." Luo Mio felt a surge of pleasure as she looked at Sylvia's helpless expression.

"It sounds better now."

"..."

Sylvia looked at Luo Mio, took a few deep breaths, and her ample bosom swayed as she did so.

Seeing Luo Mio's delighted expression, Sylvia really wanted to raise her fist and punch him in the face a few times to vent her anger.

But reason told her that she needed to calm down.

Calm down... calm down... don't bother arguing with this guy.

"Hehe." I heard Luo Mio's hateful laughter.

"Ah!"

Sylvia chose to abandon her composure.

Then, she pounced on Luo Mio.

"Um?"

Then...

"Hiss!"

Luo Mio gasped sharply in pain.

Then, Sylvia grabbed Luo Mio's right hand with both hands and bit it hard with her little mouth.

Pulling her arm back, Luo Mio winced as she looked at the neat rows of teeth marks on it, and said helplessly to Sylvia, "Are you a puppy?"

"Snort!"

Sylvia crossed her arms, gave Luo Mio a cold snort, and turned her head away.

Seeing Sylvia turn her head away angrily, Luo Mio felt helpless and looked at Claudia beside her.

"... Tia."

Claudia covered her mouth and laughed.

Then she walked over, took Sylvia's arm, and said with a light laugh, "Okay, let's just ignore him."

Sylvia turned her head slightly and glanced at Luo Mio.

"Snort."

Claudia advised, "Alright, alright, let's ignore him then. Miss Pedora is waiting for you."

Upon hearing Pedora's name, Sylvia nodded.

"Then let's go."

The two then headed towards the entrance to the player passage of the Sirius Dome.

Luo Mio touched the back of her head and followed slowly behind them.

——

Noon.

The awards ceremony officially began.

Similar to the opening ceremony, the number of students attending the awards ceremony was limited.

In reality, only the champion and runner-up students attended the ceremony.

Standing on the stage were only Luo Mio, Kong, Amagiri Ayato, Yurith, and the Student Council President of the other six academies.

Luo Mio glanced at the audience seats.

Most of the audience members were holding up shiny signs, each with a name written on it.

Sylvia...

And they were waving their flashlights very enthusiastically.

Upon seeing this, Luo Mio couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

At this time...

The chairman of the Operations Committee Matthias Mesa, came out and stood on the stage.

"Um?"

Kong, standing next to Luo Mio, was also taken aback when he saw Matthias Mesa come out, and looked at him with surprise in his Liuli eyes.

She sensed the presence of Honkai Energy within Matthias Mesa.

The only time she unleashed Honkai Energy in this world was yesterday in the redevelopment zone.

But Matthias Mesa, standing before them, possesses Honkai Energy...

So...

She gently tugged at Luo Mio's sleeve.

"I know."

Luo Mio noticed Kong's unusual behavior and whispered in her ear, "He should be the masked man you mentioned yesterday."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Kong's eyes turned cold.

Sensing the emptiness in her heart, Luo Mio patted her on the back.

Kong looked up at him.

Luo Mio smiled and shook her head.

Matthias then explained the overall evaluation of this year's "Phoenix Star Martial Festival".

Because it's a general evaluation, it's bound to be quite boring.

Finally, the awards ceremony arrived.

First, we will present the runner-up trophies to Amagiri Ayato and Yurith.

Then he offered some standard words of comfort and encouragement.

Then...

"Finally, we have our two contestants, Luo Mio and Luo Xiao Kong!"

Matthias, his resolute face now bearing a kind smile, looked at the two and said, "Congratulations on winning the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, and also the first champion since the founding of the St. Freya Academy. Congratulations!"

Luo Mio also put on a bright smile.

"Thank you, Chairman."

Then Matthias looked at the empty space next to Luo Mio.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing Luo Xiao Kong at the Star Martial Festival two years from now!"

Kong gave him a cold look and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Seeing Kong's appearance, Luo Mio said to Matthias, "I'm sorry, Chairman, this child has always been a little shy around strangers."

Matthias simply smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

"It's fine."

Looking at Matthias's smile, Luo Mio couldn't help but think to herself, "What do you mean?"

This guy's acting is really good; he could be nominated for an Oscar.

After presenting the award, Matthias addressed the audience at the Sirius Dome.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Let's give a warm round of applause to these contestants for the wonderful and exciting competition they brought us!"

Then, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted throughout the Sirius venue.

The awards ceremony then concluded...

In contrast, there is the final closing ceremony!

The closing performance by the supreme diva Sylvia Lunahaim!

Chapter 76: Its Name—

"Click!"

Suddenly, a blinding light shone down on the entire dimly lit Sirius Dome stage.

"In my eye and in my way"

"On the road ahead of me"

The lingering sound drifted from the dimly lit stage.

Then a figure slowly walked from the darkness into the circle of light.

Her pale purple hair swayed gently with her steps, and her beautiful, fairy-like face had her eyelids gently closed, as if she were an elf lost in her own world.

"Whoosh—!"

Sylvia's appearance was met with thunderous cheers throughout the Sirius Dome.

"In the sky so far away"

"In that distant sky"

"Are you hiding in the gray"

Are you hiding in that gray shadow?

As Sylvia's clear and beautiful voice sang along with the soothing and gentle rhythm of the background music, the cheering audience and fans gradually calmed down.

"I am on my way to find you"
