Who hid My Corpse!

Chapter 327: Twenty-one It turns out to be you_2

Especially since Hewinia had already promised him, Leon felt betrayed. Therefore, for several days, Leon did not see Hewinia.

And for this, Hewinia was well prepared.

“Sorry, mentor, it was my own decision,” Hewinia said very cleverly, “The Lawrence Family has promised to reveal all their private music scores to me after the success.”

Leon narrowed his eyes slightly, just about to say, “Is this your reason for betraying me?” when he heard Hewinia continue.

“After everything is complete, I am willing to share these scores with you as well.”

Leon’s pupils contracted slightly, causing Dosi, who stood by and listened without daring to speak, to widen his eyes in astonishment.

After a moment of silence, Leon slowly spoke, “Is this true?”

“Of course,” Hewinia said with an innocent smile, “after all, you are my mentor. I would say the same even at the festival.”

Another long silence ensued.

Leon gazed at Hewinia, and Hewinia looked back at Leon.

Gradually, Leon’s expression softened.

“Since this is your own decision, so be it,” Leon stood up, speaking indifferently, “Let me know directly if there’s anything I need to do, after all… you are my student.”

“Of course,” Hewinia smiled “foolishly,” “I will always be your student.”

Leon “hmm”ed in response and then, turning to Dosi, who still hadn’t recovered, his tone became stern, “What are you still looking at? Don’t you plan to leave?”

Only then did Dosi come back to his senses and hurried forward to help Leon put on his coat.

At the same time, he lamented in his heart that the gap between himself and Hewinia was growing wider.

Although he had always known that as a Golden Rank, Hewinia would never be on the same path as him, he had still indulged in fantasies—after all, they were from the same mentor, and Hewinia was truly his junior sister. What if proximity brought opportunity?

But he hadn’t expected the gap between them to become apparent so quickly.

Hewinia, just a second-year, was already preparing for the festival on the invitation of the Lawrence Family, while he, about to graduate, could only toil beside Leon and even be his chauffeur during the Seven Notes·Syllable.

That really was…

Dosi sighed inwardly so much so that when he walked past Hewinia, he dared not look at the junior sister he had once fantasized about countless times.

No longer on the same path.

Dosi thought to himself.

It would be better to no longer harbor fantasies in the future.

But just then, Dosi felt his coat tail tugged gently.

“Hm?” He turned instinctively, only to find Hewinia, and he was taken aback, “What’s the matter?”

Hewinia held her hands together, with a notebook sandwiched between them.

“Brother! I have a favor to ask!” Hewinia held the notebook above her head and spoke, “Professor Arianna gave me an assignment to write a paper, and I really don’t know how. Could you please help me?”

Dosi was stunned.

He hadn’t expected it to be this kind of matter.

Hewinia seemed to think Dosi was unwilling to help her, and immediately made a pitiful sound, “Don’t leave me to die, brother! You know how Professor Arianna is—if I can’t complete the paper she will definitely kill me! Now I can only rely on you, you’re my best brother ever! As long as you help me with the paper, I am willing to do anything!”

Dosi blinked, feeling a sudden wash of relief.

She was back, the cute little junior sister was back!

Even though she was now Golden Rank, she still needed her brother’s help, the adorable junior sister!

“Heh, I really have no way to deal with you,” Dosi chuckled as he took the notebook from Hewinia’s hand, “Knowing that I won’t have a break during the Seven Notes·Syllable, you still have me doing this and that… oh well, what can I do, I’m your big brother.”

As he took the notebook, all Dosi’s attention was on Hewinia, so he didn’t notice the flickering golden flame that jumped into the notebook from beneath it.

“Dosi, what are you doing?” Leon’s displeased voice came from the corridor, “How much longer do you want me to wait for you?”

“Ah, sorry, mentor, I’m coming right now,” Dosi hurriedly ruffled Hewinia’s hair, gave her a “leave it to me” look, and then quickly left the room to catch up with Leon outside.

Meanwhile, Hewinia watched with a smile as Dosi tucked the notebook under his arm and left the castle with Leon.

Only then did she open her hands, the flame in her palm flickering out of existence.

“Next…” she whispered softly.

…

“What?” Orenna looked at the envelope Hewinia handed her, incredulous, “You want me to deliver a letter to brother… Phinis for you?”

“Yes,” Hewinia said with a smile, “These are my thoughts about the festival.”

Orenna’s face darkened, “Why me?”

Hewinia feigned surprise, “Ah? Are you serious?”

Orenna gritted her teeth.

She really wanted to slap Hewinia right then, but she also knew she couldn’t do so, so instead, she snatched the letter from Hewinia’s hand and turned to leave the dormitory.

Hewinia kept calling after her.

“Make sure it gets to Phinis.”

“You can’t peek, okay?”

Orenna didn’t respond.

Hewinia spread her hands, the flame in her palm flickering out in an instant.

“Next.”

…

“Ogg, aren’t you going home for the Seven Notes·Syllable?”

“No, I’m not.” Inside the library, Ogg lowered his head, “I still have to watch over the library…”

“I see~ Here, this is for you.”

“What is this?”

“It’s a protective talisman I made! It will make a sound when you twist it open,” Hewinia said with a smile, “As long as you wear it through the Seven Notes·Syllable, you’ll have good luck in the coming year, so you must wear it tonight!”

“I, I will definitely wear it!” Ogg replied earnestly.

…

“Ah, Mr. Janitor, haven’t you gone back yet? Could you please help me look at this.”

…

“Guard uncle, happy Seven Notes·Syllable, this is a little something from me~”

…

And so, clusters of flames were held within the palm of Hewinia’s hand.

After nightfall, Hewinia arrived at a church in the farthest corner of the academy.

The church was as silent as death.

Because on ordinary days there were very few students who would come here, it was even more so on this day.

Which meant that whatever happened here, no one would know.

Hewinia stood beneath the large statue of the Holy Sound Master and squinted her eyes.

Then she slowly opened her hand, the flames in her palm flickered in the wind.

Some flames were bright, some dim.

Hewinia touched the brightest cluster with her finger.

The flame transformed into the image of a young man, who was repeatedly looking at a little trinket in his hand, appearing both happy and anxious.

This was the very protective talisman Hewinia had given to him during the day.

Yes, the young man was Ogg.

Inside the library, five hundred meters from him.

Every move he made was observed by Hewinia’s pupils, which betrayed no hint of temperature.

This was a Third Notes spell called Fire Spark that Hewinia had learned from Arianna.

It had no offensive power, and its sole purpose was to observe those marked by the flames, just like now.

This was the method Hewinia had devised.

To mark everyone who decided to stay on the last day.

If these people left the academy, the Fire Spark would disappear, but as soon as they returned, the Fire Spark would reignite.

This allowed Hewinia to know in advance who the person lurking in the shadows was.

Then, she could explode the flames in battle, causing some interference to the opponent’s spellcasting.

So…

Hewinia squinted her eyes and whispered softly, “Come on.”

Let me see who you really are.

Hewinia stared at each cluster of flame, time ticking by, the footsteps of the Seven Notes·Syllable getting closer.

But these flames showed no sign of advancing further, with Ogg inside the library remaining the closest to Hewinia.

She didn’t know how long she had waited, just as Hewinia was beginning to wonder if the person targeting her had already left, footsteps suddenly echoed in the empty corridor.

Hewinia’s pupils contracted slightly.

Because there was no change in the flames in her palm.

The footsteps stopped.

Hewinia put away the flames, let out a soft sigh, and then slowly turned around to face the newcomer.

“To be honest, you’re probably the last person I wanted to see tonight,”

Hewinia said softly.

“Professor Arianna.”
