Who hid My Corpse!

Chapter 285: Three Hewinia’s character setting_2

A lady of Golden Rank notes should not be interested in those books.

So, Hewinia had set her sights on Ogg.

But she couldn’t directly make requests to Ogg, as that would be equally suspicious.

Even with her status, being around someone of the lower class like Ogg was abnormal.

Thus, she needed a bit of a “persona.”

Like being sloppy, clumsy, always late, and thus always sitting in the back row of the classroom.

Or being careless, having nothing but talent and disliking study, barely paying attention in class, preferring to do other things.

Like dozing off, daydreaming, and then “out of sheer boredom” starting a casual chat with the person next to her… who was Ogg.

For a poor boy like Ogg, having someone like Hewinia approach him was completely out of his depth.

Thus, they quickly became acquainted, and “friends.”

It was during such interactions that Hewinia carelessly mentioned, “So boring, attending Arianna’s class is worse than just staying in the library reading.”

She knew Ogg would take every word she said “offhandedly” seriously.

After a few repetitions, when Ogg came to her with a book, his face tense and stuttering, “Is this book okay?” she knew she had succeeded.

It began with just some miscellaneous books.

But under Hewinia’s seemingly casual hints, the books Ogg borrowed from the library became increasingly substantial.

Even many contained knowledge not found in basic teachings.

And through these books, Hewinia learned what notes and scores were.

She understood what she truly was.

And she also learned about the legendary Seven Notes·Divine Song.

But she still left no trace in the library.

Just like how till now, no one knew who she really was…

She suddenly stopped flipping the pages.

“Sch…I mean, Hewinia?” Ogg noticed Hewinia’s pale face and asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, not really,” Hewinia quickly recovered, yawning playfully, “just a bit sleepy.”

“Ah, do you want to sleep for a bit?” Ogg glanced at Arianna on the podium cautiously, “Shall I watch Professor Arianna for you?”

“No need, I was already late, if I fall asleep again, the professor will definitely skin me,” Hewinia half-joked, half-seriously.

“You’re right,” Ogg nodded and continued listening to the class.

Hewinia then once again focused on the book in her left hand.

Or more precisely, on the middle finger of her left hand.

For the past year, no one had seen through her disguise, and Ogg was not the only one she had used in this academy.

But all of it had been seen through by someone she had never met.

…Can he even be considered a person?

He’s already shattered into Corpse Blocks, yet he’s still alive?

Hewinia knew very little about the name Visas, as she had only started studying this a year ago.

Hewinia originally didn’t want to pay attention to anything besides the Seven Notes·Divine Song, but now that such a being resided within her, she couldn’t just sit idly; after a brief consideration, she looked towards Ogg and called out to him nonchalantly,

“Ogg.”

“Have you heard of Visas?”

…

“As everyone knows, the strength of a melody is related to the number of notes it contains; the more types of notes there are, the more complex it is, but the more powerful it becomes as well.”

“And the completeness of the melody is determined by the musical rank. There is already a huge difference between the Copper Rank and the Silver Rank, not to mention the highest, the Golden Rank.”

While speaking about the Golden Rank, Arianna’s gaze involuntarily drifted to the back of the classroom; upon seeing Hevnia whispering with Ogg, her eyes narrowed immediately.

She waved her magic wand lightly, and a silver Fifth Note rippled through the air. Suddenly, everyone in the classroom felt as if a large bell rang inside their heads, shaking everyone to their core.

Ogg reacted the most; his face turned pale in an instant, his entire body stiffened as if electrified, nearly falling off his chair.

“Dear Mr. Ogg,” Arianna’s calm tone seemed to contain rolling magma, “Miss Hevnia does not wish to listen to my lecture. Do you also not wish to listen? Oh, are you Golden Rank too?”

Ogg immediately stood up, tense, just about to apologize when Arianna flicked her wrist, swishing her wand again, and Ogg’s somewhat worn mage robe tore apart with a “swish.”

Everyone saw the dark yellow, crooked notes beneath his body.

Ogg was completely stunned.

“Oh~ it seems you are not.” Arianna slowly descended from the podium, walking toward Ogg with increasing scorn in her ostensibly calm tone, “You are just Copper, and even that…”

As Ogg subconsciously tried to put his clothes on, Arianna swung her wand again, completely destroying his robe this time.

“… the lowest quality of Copper.” She stood beside Ogg, looking down from above at Ogg’s bare upper body, “Honestly, Mr. Ogg, in all my years, I have seldom seen notes of such poor quality as yours… and are these really notes? So twisted and ugly, they look more like worms.”

At this, the students burst into laughter, filling the classroom with a lively atmosphere.

Only Hevnia and Ogg were not laughing.

Ogg kept his head down, unable to look at anyone, merely twisting his frail body continuously, trying to cover those dark yellow, worm-like twisted notes, but failing to do so, and could only keep mumbling “sorry,” much like a worm dried in the sun.

“I’m sorry, Professor Arianna,” Hevnia also stood up, aptly apologizing, “it was I who wanted to talk to him. Please blame me, it’s all my fault.”

Arianna hummed softly.

She never intended to trouble Ogg.

To put it accurately, she disdained to trouble Ogg; dealing with such low-quality Copper Rank notes seemed to her like a music master listening to a tone-deaf singer.

In her view, such a person should simply rot away.

So, she was merely using Ogg to give Hevnia, that Golden, a lesson.

Now that Hevnia had admitted her fault… Hmm?

Arianna’s eyes squinted slightly as her gaze abruptly caught sight of something, her tone growing cold, “Oh? Miss Hevnia, are you really apologizing?”

Hevnia was a bit puzzled, not understanding why Arianna would say that.

Noticing Arianna’s focus, she too looked down and then her eyes widened.

She saw that her left middle finger was raised straight up, directed at Arianna.

…

A few minutes later, with a dark expression, Hevnia swiftly left the classroom.

This past year, she had rarely experienced such intense emotions.

The last time was when she had learned what the Golden Score really was.

Bai Wei’s voice resonantly echoed in her mind, “She woke me up, so I looked up to see what was going on. That’s reasonable, right?”

Hevnia didn’t say anything, just continued walking with a dark face.

Her image of being a well-behaved little girl in front of Arianna might have shattered at that moment.

Now, all she wanted was to immediately return to her dormitory and cut off this eventually troublesome finger!

But just then, something caught the corner of her eye, and she instinctively turned her head towards the edge of the academic building.

She saw two school workers from yesterday, talking with solemn expressions.

Then, she heard Bai Wei speaking faintly.

“Someone has died, aren’t you going to take a look?”
