Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 761 - 6: The Training Model of the Central Star Domain

After Prin Coco left, Tilan returned to the dining table where Blanchi could only be described as full of admiration, while Ailu Kelu watched Tilan with great interest.

"Does Tilan know the songstress we just met?"

In the recent cascade of black and crimson flames through the restaurant, the dark-haired girl stood in front of the three of them, like a pillar in the raging current, splitting the tumultuous and consciousness-burning flames without affecting them in the slightest.

Even with her limited experience, Blanchi could feel a special magic power within the passing flames, likely an endowment or application of the songstress's talent, which suppressed the instinctive consciousness reaction of life submerged by fear.

Because she was also a songstress, even without direct contact, Blanchi could genuinely sense the sudden fear and trembling emitting from the people around the diner.

"Yes, I know her, because like me, she comes from the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain, and she could be considered my 'senior' in some ways," Tilan replied.

"From the same Star Domain, and of similar age?" Blanchi envied. Her Star Domain hadn't seen a songstress for many years, and neither had the surrounding Star Domains, which made her journey as a songstress quite lonely without the care of close elders, until she met Ailu Kelu after coming to the Central Star Domain.

Ailu Kelu hailed from the Skangya Star Domain of the Northern Federation, which is relatively close to the Northwest Star Cluster, but in truth, it was also separated by more than a dozen Star Domains. Thus, she was one of the closest-born songstresses in terms of origin.

Curious, Blanchi asked, and Tilan gradually talked about her high school days. She had known Prin quite early on, and the two had competed several times, occasionally dining together, listening to Yulanduoja boast about her younger days; privately, their relationship was quite good.

"Really that close? She seemed kind of scary to me," Blanchi said, patting her chest with lingering fear.

"Yes, probably still upset about something from high school, because I outshined her quite a bit, which was a little embarrassing for Prin as my senior."

Tilan knew that over the past few years, the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain's network had often compared Prin to her. It must have been uncomfortable for Prin to be outperformed by someone who came after her, despite their good relationship. No doubt Prin also wanted to prove herself.

Although the fiery surge just now seemed frightening, Tilan and Prin had sparred countless times and understood each other's strengths well. Prin didn't initially think such a display of power could bring down Tilan, after all, her songstress talent was something Prin had experienced many times, and they had even learned and practiced together.

However, separated by just a year, Prin had indeed changed a lot. Compared to before, she had become much more confident and even somewhat aggressive, which surprised Tilan.

"Giggle, probably only Tilan would dare say she suppressed Prin Coco," Ailu Kelu laughed upon hearing the girl recount her high school days.

"At Golden Flame Flower Academy, I literally witnessed how 'Flame Sugar' Prin Coco rose to power. Not long after enrolling, she began to build her own Star Cluster, and in her first battle, she decisively defeated her contemporary, 'White Swan' Audrey. Her methods were so sophisticated, whether it was gathering people, discovering members' talents, granting enhancements, resonating in battle, or connecting with major corporations for sponsorship and support, she excelled."

"Besides her own excellent foundation, she also had the support of a professional team from a financial conglomerate, which can be said to be a mutual accomplishment," Ailu Kelu added.

"Financial conglomerate?" Tilan recalled something on hearing this.

"It does seem to be the case."

The origin of Swarm's Reign Academy was no simple matter, as it was built by an investment from a Central Star Domain tycoon. Thanks to this connection, Prin naturally thrived upon arriving in the Central Star Domain. Those large financial conglomerates originally backing Swarm's Reign Academy showered her with resources, betting on her cultivation as if she were their own daughter.

Theoretically, if Saint Yingo hadn't split, as a member of Saint Yingo's branch, Tilan would have also received considerable affection and resource allocation from the Elf Series financial conglomerates and major corporations upon arriving in the Central Star Domain.

However, the internal strife between Saint Yingo and Edith Academy within the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain might also have displeased the original Elf Factions of the Central Star Domain, particularly with Edith Academy's victory, which felt akin to a bastard surpassing a meticulously nurtured legitimate child. The Central Elf Factions that previously supported Saint Yingo's Four-leaf Crystal branch were also in an awkward position, because after Edith Academy split off, its connections with the Central headquarters were, in essence, severed.

Listening to Ailu Kelu explain the forces behind the songstresses, Blanchi felt overwhelmed and struggled to understand, as she had been a songstress for less than two months and many of these details were new to her.

"Songstress is such a complex identity and career, isn't it?"

"Well, it purely depends on personal choice. Some songstresses rarely deal with large conglomerates and focus on singing and their personal lives. For example, 'Polka Dot Recorder' May, who, even after becoming famous, seldom participated in commercial activities, still lives on the remote, abandoned planet where she was born. Another is 'Purple Jin Flower' Otibelo, who entered the Moon Level songstress realm a few years ago and is similarly low-profile. Throughout her career, she has engaged in only a handful of commercial collaborations and rarely makes public appearances."

"The federal government does provide protection for a songstress's identity, and even if she is unwilling, large corporations find it hard to interfere with her life and thoughts. However, most songstresses also have various wishes or ideals that require the financial power and support that large enterprises offer."

As a senior, Ailu Kelu carefully explained to Blanchi, which also greatly benefited Tilan.

By the time the purple cat-eared songstress finished introducing, it was already unknowingly 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the four of them decided to take a stroll and tour the campus, while Ailu Kelu continued to explain the unique features of the Golden Flame Flower Academy to the two new songstresses.

"In songstress training, the model is completely different from that of ordinary students," she said, raising a finger and gently shaking it, then continued under Blanchi's admiring and envious gaze.

"Ordinary students at the academy mostly take various courses to discover their strengths and then find the right mentor to further enhance those strengths, slowly learning and practicing until they become elites in their industry." freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Although songstresses also have similar advancement courses, besides studying songstress-related knowledge and skills, they need to form their own teams. The academy will issue various tasks for you to complete with your team, and you are evaluated based on the results."

"If your team is successful and receives high evaluations, not only will you receive a lot of points, but your team members will also get a significant number of points. These points can be exchanged for many things within the academy, like high-rank secret technique materials, special spiritual medicines, resources for practicing the Transcendent Sequence, various ceremonial clothes, weapons, and so on."

"Does it sound like a large-scale game? Exactly, many universities within the Central Star Domain are designed this way. Several high-rank courses within those institutions require unlocking with points before you can attend the class or graduate."

"According to psychologists, such models, compared to rote learning, can stimulate students' motivation more effectively and allow them to continuously receive positive feedback in the cycle of learning-practicing-gaining points."

"The courses you take will require you to unlock them with the points you've earned through hard work. If you don't take them seriously, this kind of waste is something most people can't stand, and it significantly increases students' motivation."

"Furthermore, it's the same for the academy tutors. If you don't teach well, or the secret techniques and stuff you teach are useless, and not many people sign up for your course, you could face a severe downgrade in ratings and the risk of unemployment."

"Under this dual motivational mechanism, in the Central Star Domain, both students and teachers are in an environment of constant competition and iteration. This is also why most of the advanced technologies and affairs largely come from the Central Star Domain."

"I see..." After listening, Blanchi was contemplative. Despite her lack of confidence, she was also somewhat looking forward to the future.

"Alright, let's call it a day. I'm tired from all the walking," said the kitty me.

After showing the three around the academy, Ailu Kelu started to feel lazy and wanted to find a place to sleep and play. Although she was a songstress, she wasn't the diligent, hardworking type—loving to play was her nature. Mentoring Blanchi and acquainting her with the environment for three days was already her limit.

Seeing this, Tilan and Blanchi thanked the purple cat-eared songstress senior again, and then the three of them headed back to their apartment, as it was nearing evening.

On the way back, Tilan wobbled along; if not for Tilan supporting her, she would have probably fallen asleep midway.

She hadn't slept for several days, and she had been out walking with Tilan for half the day. She had been following along subconsciously, but now that she saw Tilan and the others heading back, she couldn't help feeling sleepy.

Once back at the apartment, Tilan carried Geyin to the bathroom, and they took a bath together before Tilan put Geyin back on her bed in her bedroom and took her identity chip card to prevent her from going online after waking up, only then did she leave with peace of mind.

As night fell and fatigue set in after walking half the day, Tilan sat on her bed, briefly checked her personal terminal, replied to friends' messages, and then lay down, gradually drifting off to sleep.

The apartment housing two new songstresses had especially thorough security. While a host of new students slept, the bustling nightlife of the commercial district in the central area was just beginning.
