Chapter 470: The Chosen One’s Every Move Is Part of the Plan
Unlike the surprised expressions of others, Edith appeared particularly calm and serious, as if she wasn’t the one whose stockings had been torn with holes. It was as if she thought this was normal, openly revealing her relationship with Adele without any concealment.
Winona couldn’t help but facepalm, thinking that vampires were really… a race that made people speechless. She had just taken office and had already made such a big move.
And looking at the reactions of the students below the stage, it seemed that excitement and agitation far outweighed embarrassment. After all, Cromwell Academy was now dominated by vampires, and the number of human students enrolled was decreasing. In the future, it might even become a purely vampire academy.
Of course, by then, the whole world would be a world of ability users. The extraordinary had completely returned to this land. In other words, “spiritual energy had revived.”
Whether such a day was good or bad was unknown, but there would definitely be countless troubles. Leaving aside vampires, Winona at least understood humans and knew what the spread of power meant.
Even if only 1% of humans misused this power, it would still be an extremely terrifying number. However, it seemed meaningless to think so far ahead now, after all, the threat of the Lord of Heaven was imminent.
The information Adele received from the angel Seraph—that the Lord of Heaven would return soon—was passed on to the high-level of the Human Race and the Vampire Clan. They had to speed up the construction of the Tower of Babel.
Of course, this didn’t mean they were really building a real building. Otherwise, the Human Race wouldn’t be so worried now, after all, one of their countries had the title of “infrastructure maniac.”
What was really needed to build the “Tower of Babel” was the genetic sequence that would appear after extraordinary individuals awakened their superpowers, which was also the trace left by the legendary “Creation God” in His creations.
Yes, the Creation God existed. He created this world, created all things and all races in the world. There was even speculation… that even the Lord of Heaven was a creation of the Creation God. But that was just speculation, and the existence of the Creation God was also speculation.
But just like when a scientist proposed a theory or model that could not be proved by the current level of technology, such as the way a certain celestial body operates in the universe, it was also speculation because it could not be explored or proved.
But one day, when human scientific civilization had developed enough to support the exploration of this conjecture, it would be discovered that the way that celestial body operated on the other side of the distant galaxy was exactly the same as what this scientist had guessed.
How incredible it was, simply like a miracle. But the scientist would say: Because it should be there, existing in that way.
Similarly, the Creation God was the same. He should be there, existing in that way. Otherwise, the birth of this world and the appearance of all races could not be explained. Although there was a so-called theory of evolution in this world, as long as they were extraordinary individuals, they would know that they were fundamentally different from animals and plants.
And that fundamental difference was the gift from the Creation God, the legendary genetic sequence. The Creation God was biased, He left his mark on intelligent creatures. The remaining animals and plants were a part of the “ecosystem” that He created.
Perhaps He still existed, watching everything that happened in the ecosystem like a lonely child. Perhaps He no longer existed, and no one could explain where He had gone. It was unimaginable whether there were still “myths” before that mythical age.
Perhaps the only existence that knew the ancient ultimate secret related to the Creation God was that Lord of Heaven whose life spanned ancient and modern times, past, present, and future. Maybe there was also Hell Queen Jormungandr…
But the state of Hell Queen Jormungandr seemed a bit strange, and she was alone. Except for saving Adele that time, Jormungandr had no interaction with any race. Maybe she returned to hell, or maybe she was still traveling in this world, waiting for the return of the Lord of Heaven.
Who knew?
Anyway, the Human Race had now concentrated all their forces and cooperated with the evil god Wu You to mass-produce new extraordinary individuals. It was to extract the genetic sequence from every extraordinary individual and use it to achieve the ascension mentioned by Black Emperor Ying Zhou.
Each sequence was a step, continuously paving upwards, growing in a twisted way. How high was the sky?
It was a despairingly high altitude, seemingly out of reach. But the Black Emperor Ying Zhou insisted on ascending to heaven.
………………
The opening ceremony ended, and Edith finally turned on her phone. As a result, countless message pop-ups appeared. But almost all the red dots of these messages were ignored by her, except for the “cat shy” emoji sent by a certain girl.
Adele: Cat blushing.jpg
Edith: Why is Adele blushing? Those are clearly Adele’s masterpieces~
After a while, Adele replied.
Adele: But I didn’t ask you to show my masterpieces!
Adele: Now the students are looking at me strangely!
What Adele said was true. When she returned to the classroom, the students’ eyes on her became complicated. Some were full of admiration, some were envious, and some were timid and afraid, as if they regarded Adele as the kind of girl who played bullying games.
That is… she could even bully Edith, the president of the Black Feather Society, making her take the initiative to show the traces of being ravaged in front of the whole school. So who else couldn’t she bully? Vampire Queen Dorothy?
But she remembered… Princess Dorothy also seemed to have a close relationship with the Chosen Girl Adele. Didn’t that mean that the entire academy was Adele’s domain? She could bully anyone she wanted?
But obviously, Adele was not as bad as others imagined, and she did not bully Edith. This was called mutual affection, okay!
Adele: Anyway… you idiot!
Edith: Okay, I’m an idiot~
Edith: This idiot really misses Adele now~
Adele: Then keep missing me! Although she said so, after a while, Adele still sent a message with concern.
Adele: …Change your stockings or take them off!
Edith: Mmm~
Saying that, Edith took off her stockings in her office, and also took off… and then took a selfie and sent it to Adele.
Adele: !!!? The girl clicked to save it to the private album and was not allowed to upload it to the cloud.
Then she sent a message back. Adele: Take it back! Idiot, idiot, idiot!
Edith playfully stuck out her tongue, blushing, and did as she was told. Then, there was a knock on the door of her office.
“What is it?” Edith put down her phone and looked up and asked.
She didn’t let the other party enter her office, and the other party didn’t insist wisely. “President Edith, it’s Princess Dorothy… She has something to ask you.”
It was a member of the Black Feather Society, also Edith’s subordinate, reporting to Edith outside the door.
Hearing this, Edith blinked and then asked, “Where is she?” The girl picked up her phone.
“At the reception downstairs.”
“Okay, I understand. You can go and do your work.” Edith typed on her phone and replied casually.
“Yes!”
The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away. Edith’s message was also sent to Adele.
Edith: Dorothy will meet me later. Do you want to come together, Adele?
Edith: You should… have not told her that news yet, right?
Adele: Ugh, I was just about to contact her…
Edith: Then let’s take advantage of this opportunity. My use of idioms is not bad, right?
Adele: Cough, not bad, not bad. But I just had my first class… It’s not good to skip class, is it?
Edith: For the Chosen Girl, everything is part of the plan. How can that be called skipping class?
Adele: … Although the girl was a little speechless, what Edith said was exactly the kind of public opinion about her that was spreading in Cromwell Academy, including the Enforcement Bureau.
That was, everything this Chosen Girl did had its own thoughts and reasons behind it, and was correct. Maybe the Chosen Girl’s fanatic fans thought that even Adele tearing President Edith’s black silk was part of the plan.
For example, it was to train President Edith’s sense of shame… to strengthen her mind and will.
Adele didn’t know why they could come up with so many excuses for her. Honestly… the pressure was huge.
Adele: Where is the location… I’ll go over when I have time. She still had to attend class for a while and give the teacher a little respect as the Chosen Girl.
Edith quickly sent a location. Adele looked at it and silently put away her phone. The bell rang for class, and the first class of the school year was about to begin.
The times were changing too fast, and the unpredictable pressure permeated every corner of the world. The more people who knew the truth, the heavier the burden on their shoulders. Even Adele was a little surprised. It turned out that even attending classes had become… a pastime in her eyes.
Chapter 471: As Promised
Adele pretended to listen to the class for more than ten minutes, then raised her hand and said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go to the infirmary. Oh, listen to this, Miss Chosen Girl, your lame excuse. As a powerhouse about to step into the realm of Legendary Mage, how could you not feel well… Even if you did, could the small student infirmary of Cromwell Academy solve it?
But no teacher would disagree because the Chosen Girl must have her reasons for doing so. So Adele was freed from the atmosphere of being watched by the whole class.
The girl came to the corridor, took a deep breath of free air, and her chest puffed up slightly. And in the distance, fluffy white clouds floated in the azure sky, the breeze blew, and the sunlight was dazzling, making people wish that this time would never end.
………………
“Edith, we meet again.” Dorothy was the first to greet her. Compared with the past, she had obviously changed.
A long time ago, Dorothy was a rather willful and crazy character. But now, she had become mature and steady, not only in her demeanor but also in her appearance. From a girl to a woman with a hint of a mature charm, her figure had become taller, and she had grown into a ripe peach.
Adele had tasted it and gave a thumbs up, indicating that it was a very good peach, and the love came from the Vampire race!
“Princess Dorothy, the matter you’re looking for me about can wait.”
“Why?” Dorothy raised her eyebrows and asked.
“Adele contacted me and said that she would be here soon.”
“She has something special to tell you.”
“…If she has something to tell me, why wouldn’t she contact me directly?”
“Why would she need you to be a completely meaningless intermediary?” Dorothy’s attention was completely attracted.
Edith thought carefully, not knowing how to explain. At this time, Dorothy’s gaze had already passed over the desk and landed on the lower part of Edith’s position, seeing her tattered black stockings.
“…”
It was as if a crow had flown over the girl’s heart, leaving six ink dots.
“Playing quite big…” Dorothy said faintly. She knew that Edith had just gone on stage to participate in the opening ceremony. But she didn’t participate because Dorothy’s level had far exceeded the scope of students.
The rules and regulations of Cromwell Academy, and even the entire Human Race, were meaningless to her. Edith pursed her lips, blushing. “Then I’ll wait for Adele to come to me.”
“I’ll wait with you.”
“She should be here soon. Adele is not someone who can honestly finish a class.”
“I think so too.” Dorothy and Edith formed a strange consensus.
Fortunately, Adele didn’t notice, otherwise, she would definitely become a super-embarrassed person.
But Adele really didn’t disappoint them. Almost at the next moment, the door of the reception room was pushed open with a “bang.”
“I’m here!”
Wouldn’t it be more imposing to shout “Out of the way, everyone, for the young miss!” at this time? Forget it, never mind.
“Dorothy!”
“Long time no see, two years!”
“Two years… Oh, you mean it feels like a lifetime.”
“Haha, long time no see, my Princess Adele.” Dorothy had also learned how to flirt.
“P-Princess…!” Adele blushed as if pink steam was about to come out of her.
But she quickly calmed down because there were more important things to discuss. Now was not the time to flirt with Dorothy!
Thinking of this, Adele cast a suggestive look at Edith. Edith immediately understood and nodded to Adele as if saying, “I know.”
“For the next period, the space here will be left for the two of you to have a good talk. I’ll leave first.”
“What is it? So mysterious,” Dorothy asked curiously, watching Edith leave the office, and finally looked at Adele’s eyebrows and eyes.
Adele’s expression gradually returned to normal from the shy look just now, and became unusually serious. Seriously cute. It made people want to take a picture of it and use it as a screensaver for their phones.
And Dorothy did just that. With a “click” sound of a simulated camera shutter, Adele’s expression also “couldn’t hold back.”
“D-Dorothy!! Be serious!”
“Okay~ Serious, serious~” Dorothy smiled with narrowed eyes, her tone full of pampering.
Adele couldn’t help but sigh helplessly, and then confessed everything from the past to the girl. And the most crucial thing was that she had “replaced” the “Adele” that Dorothy liked and began to bully.
This undoubtedly required Adele to muster great courage, even taking the risk of falling out with Dorothy. Was she worried and nervous?
Of course… But this wasn’t a reason for the girl to avoid this problem. The excuse of a white lie… Adele didn’t want to use it.
She knew that most of her feelings for the girls didn’t start out pure, but it was like a polished pearl. It was originally just a grain of sand!
The impure feelings, after the girls had experienced so many unforgettable events and daily life together, had already turned into rare treasures. And what Adele had to do now was to remove the last trace of impurities in the treasure and make it pure!
Dorothy listened quietly to Adele’s narration. The girl’s expression also gradually changed from a smile to an unreadable one. Finally, she stared deeply into Adele’s eyes, at her red eyes and sniffing nose, looking and remaining silent for a long time.
Finally, Dorothy was ready to speak. At that moment, Adele’s heartbeat must have reached its peak, almost making everything in the girl’s vision slow down.
But slow didn’t mean it would stagnate. On the contrary, time never stopped. The answer Adele was waiting for was about to come.
“Adele.” She opened her lips and still called the girl’s name. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to call Adele.
And didn’t Adele also say that she was the owner of this body?
Now even the ancient Lord of Heaven was about to descend, and even Dorothy’s ancestor, Black Emperor Ying Zhou, was resurrected. What else couldn’t happen?
“If you feel guilty towards me…”
“After hearing your story, and knowing about that novel, and… one of my countless future endings.”
“I can only say, it’s great that it wasn’t that woman who fell in love.”
“…” Adele was speechless.
“If I had followed the original path, not only would I have driven her crazy, I would have become a psychopath myself…”
“On the contrary, it’s you, Adele, who brought me back to normal and reason, who made me understand what ‘love’ is.”
“…”
Why did it sound strange? Although Adele did indeed make Dorothy understand what love was.
“And, thinking about it carefully, would I really fall in love with that so-called ‘Adele’ who hated me and hated me?”
“The attraction of appearance is superficial after all. Perhaps I was indeed attracted to ‘her’ at first.”
“But I would most likely come to my senses later and break up with her.”
“But with you, the you who really deserves the name of Adele, Adele, I don’t want to break up with you.”
“Because it’s you, I’m even more infatuated with your body.”
“And because it was ‘her,’ I gradually lost interest in this body.”
“Adele… you can understand what I want to express in this comparison, right?”
You can say it… but why are you getting closer and closer! But Adele did understand, and she felt the emotion. Dorothy’s words were tantamount to a confession to Adele’s soul itself.
And she didn’t disappoint Adele in the end. Like her kiss, it arrived as promised.
