Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 763 - 8 The Girl Who Passed By

By the end of August, the weather was no longer scorching. As the time to start school drew near, many students who had completed their vacations began to return to school, and the Central District with its harp flower coronas became busier day by day.

Trains shuttled through transparent tunnels like flowing light, while the students inside felt nothing amiss, still laughing and chatting with their companions, discussing the joy of the holidays and complaining about the looming start of school.

In a corner of the carriage, a blue-haired girl sat quietly, her suitcase resting on her knees, her hands on top, occasionally glancing at the students in the carriage, seemingly lost in thought.

Afterward, when the train arrived at the station, the students filed out, and she also stood up unhurriedly, picking up her suitcase and walking out.

As soon as she stepped out of the station, three people approached her. These three, one female and two males, were dressed in professional uniforms made of special materials. While appearing similar to general workplace elites, even the guns of the Federal Police would struggle to penetrate such specially-made fabric.

Seeing the inconspicuous badge on the chest of the three, the girl stopped in her tracks.

"You're here to meet me, aren't you?"

"Yes," the three people stood still, their expressions respectful.

"No need to get too close, I want to have a look at the school first and get acquainted with everyone's lives."

"Yes."

After that, the girl continued forward, while the three people dispersed and followed behind her at a distance, like other normal tourists and passersby.

However, if there were an expert observer, they would recognize the meaning represented by the 'Serpent Entwined Fruit' badge on their chests.

The giant enterprise 'Forbidden Fruit', one of the few in the federation specializing in gene testing, compilation, and repair. In the public domain, their most famous product is known as the 'Ouroboros' series of potions. Such potions can increase the number of cell gene divisions in humans and cure damaged gene chains, clear mutant gene cells, and prevent the outbreak of cancer, ultimately with the aim of extending lifespan. They are the precious Transcendent Potions that many people dream of.

The price of the most common model alone is tens of millions of Federation Coins, not to mention the higher-quality and rare items that often cost hundreds of millions of Federation Coins to obtain just one dose.

With these potions and other treatment methods as aids, humans can now break through the barrier of 200 years in lifespan.

Leaving the station, the blue-haired girl continued to walk the streets, like those freshmen who were coming to the Central Star Domain for the first time to study, looking around curiously, moving at an unhurried pace, and occasionally stopping to listen to the older students guiding the newcomers.

"Over here is our 'Lapis Lazuli Academy'. Haha, what do you think? Isn't the gate quite imposing?"

The young man beside introduced the towering institution to the new students a few years his junior. Rather than a 'gate', it was more fitting to call it a Lapis Lazuli mountain, with the entrance being a tunnel carved through it.

Entering it, one could faintly sense the cold aura released by the Lapis Lazuli, as well as the various exquisite scenes carved within the mountain.

Lapis Lazuli Academy is a unique institution that simultaneously develops art, architectural design, and engineering construction. Most of its students aim to become architectural designers or industrial engineers, with a small portion specializing in the exclusive Lapis Lazuli-style 'Cold Stream' Light Saber, marking them as unconventional combatants.

Listening to the senior student's introduction ahead, at the end of the group of new students, a boy did not share the excitement of the others, his eyes calmly sweeping over the scene without saying much.

In fact, he wasn't interested in how the three-dimensional carvings inside the stones were crafted, nor was very likely to shout and gush in admiration like the girls ahead of him. What he cared about was how much money he might have to spend each month living in the Central District, whether students had the right to work, and whether he could make a long-term life here.

Well, it would be better to wait until the senior and those lively freshmen were done talking before asking.

Though he wasn't good with words, he knew that speaking up now and interrupting with an out-of-tune remark would not be good for the atmosphere.

Just as he was somewhat worried and couldn't help but to look around, a blue-haired girl passed by his side. Her sudden appearance was so unexpected that it took him by surprise, and in the midst of his movement, his hand brushed against the girl's arm.

Quickly, he realized that he might have overreacted a bit.

"Sorry, I bumped into you just now," he said, looking at the blue-haired girl's retreating figure.

Only then did she stop.

The blue-haired girl turned around, revealing a beautiful jawline. Following the contours of her face upwards, there were eyes like shallow pink gemstones.

"It's okay," she said, and instead of leaving, she just stood there, watching the boy for a while.

"Um, my name is 'Shan'. Are you also a freshman?"

Seeing that the girl had no intention of leaving, he felt compelled to strike up a conversation.

"Yes, I am." After responding, the girl continued standing there, just looking at him, making Shan feel somewhat embarrassed.

Was it shyness, or was he just not confident enough? Regardless, the blue-haired girl was indeed pretty, and he couldn't help but steal a few glances before turning his face away.

"Do you like to listen to music?"

Finally, just as Shan felt like escaping to catch up with the seniors and classmates ahead, the girl spoke again.

"I guess I do." In the past, he had relied on music to dispel the gloom and oppression in his heart, but after arriving in the Central Star Domain, everything seemed to brighten up, and he hadn't listened to music for a while now.

"This is a tune I like. I'm giving it to you."

The girl handed over a small music chip card, which was the color of her hair, akin to the sky and ocean waves, and on the solid-colored background, there was a white fruit imprint on the chip.

It seemed like the cute and delicate style that girls liked. That's what Shan thought as he took the music chip card, and as it landed in the palm of his hand, the girl's fingertips lightly tapped his palm again. freёnovelkiss.com

That mere half-second of contact allowed Shan to feel the slenderness and softness of the girl's fingertip, making him somewhat indulge in it, wanting to remember this brief touch firmly.

Unfortunately, after passing him the chip card, the girl didn't seem to have any intention of explaining or talking further. She simply nodded, turned around, and left, leaving Shan a bit regretful that he didn't ask for her name just now.

However, he didn't have time to think about it any longer, as the senior leading the way was already calling for him.

Hurrying over, he dashed into the cool tunnel and rejoined the group; it seemed like everyone had finished their chat and were now resting.

"I counted and noticed someone was missing—it was you. Did you go off to chat up a girl just now?" The senior pushed up his glasses, teasing him slightly.

"Hey, you're brave, huh? Starting a romance on the first day of school?" Some of the freshmen jeered, with a mix of envy and teasing.

After a lot of explaining from Shan, everyone finally left him alone and continued moving forward.

Through the short tunnel, they were about to enter 'Lapis Lazuli Academy'. Just before stepping into the school, Shan couldn't help but look back towards the end of the tunnel, hoping to catch a glimpse of the blue-haired girl again.

The street was still busy with people passing by, just like usual. The blue-haired girl from that fleeting moment had disappeared like a figment of his imagination.

But that figment was probably real, he thought as he touched his pocket; the chip card was still there in his hand.

He decided that tonight, after finding his dormitory, he would listen to the song on the chip card. Perhaps there would be an unexpected answer within?
