59~ He didn’t reject my help, he’s got me on his mind!!
“This woman is Tillysha!” This sentence instantly ignited a wave of discussions across the venue.
Most students were still puzzled about who ‘Tillysha’ was, never having heard of such a person in the academy. A few in the know gawked with wide eyes at the golden-haired girl who stood proudly with her snowy white swan neck raised high.
“Her, she’s that Tillysha?……..”
“Isn’t she the scarred, dirty face girl from the 23rd venue just a few days ago?”
“Who would’ve thought that once the scar on her face disappears, she’d be this beautiful??”
“Right……… no wonder she spoke to the second daughter of the Cardiff family earlier.”
“Who’s Tillysha? I feel like I’ve heard this name somewhere before………”
“But come on, this is just a few days. How is it possible for her scars to vanish and change this much?! It’s like she’s a completely different person??”
“Maybe there’s been some kind of mistake………”
The people who knew the truth couldn’t believe their eyes as they watched the platinum-haired girl stroll confidently toward the center of the crowd after exchanging greetings with Aileen.
Her ample, snow-white ‘assets’ swayed gently with her steps, like autumn’s bountiful fruits dancing in a gentle breeze, catching everyone’s eyes while simultaneously making them question how she maintained her balance.
“Could it be??” At this moment, both the incredulous students and the astonished mentors grasped the situation.
There was only one possibility for such a rapid and immense transformation in a god maiden’s appearance.
Divine Maiden Evolution.
“Who would’ve thought the girl had this much potential……….. If I’d known, I should’ve boosted her favorability back then.” Watching the stunning girl now, a god knight expressed what many men present were thinking.
“Seems like she’s about the same size as Princess Aistride………” No one knew who it was, but someone nervously swallowed before whispering quietly in the crowd.
“I think she’s even bigger than Princess Aistride.”
“Ah, I understand now. That’s why she couldn’t even retaliate in the preliminaries; she hadn’t awakened yet.”
“I remember that day she endured over ten minutes of whipping without uttering a sound, refusing to surrender or beg for mercy.”
“In that case…………” Many couldn’t help but glance at Aileen standing behind them with a sour expression.
Of course, the punches and grievances endured before her evolution would naturally be settled afterward.
Among those present, other than being astonished, the one who harbored the most negative emotions was undoubtedly Aileen.
At this moment, Aileen’s expression was grim, her face as dark as the stormy sea, glaring fiercely at Tillysha’s back, wishing she could rush forward and drag her down by her hair, scratching another scar across her face!
This wild divinity maiden, who constantly went against her will, had even undergone a divine evolution at the last moment?!
d*mn it, could it be that even the Seven Saints are helping her?!
“She’s Tillysha, she’s Tillysha…….. how could this be possible, huh, ha ha, how could that ugly duckling be the same person as this stunning beauty………” But compared to Aileen, some people were even more unable to accept it, like Lalo, the long-faced class monitor who had given Tillysha trouble countless times. With a blank expression, he was mentally disoriented, mumbling to himself endlessly.
All of Aileen’s team members were from the same class, meaning that everyone else on the team, except the Holy Son, knew Tillysha intimately and wore similar expressions of utter disbelief.
“What are we supposed to do, Aileen?” Another goddess maiden and one of Aileen’s lackeys looked at her with concern.
“What to do? Are you all scared out of your wits?” Aileen glared fiercely at the Tillysha who had stolen all the limelight, clenched her fists tightly.
“But, Tillysha has undergone a divine evolution………”
“Divine evolution, what’s divine evolution going to do?! What god maiden here hasn’t undergone divine evolution?? Is a mere divine evolution enough to change the fact that she’s a wild god maiden?!”
“But……….” The goddess maiden glanced apprehensively at Tillysha, who stood confidently facing away from them, sensing an ominous foreboding.
“You all, stop being so spineless. She’s just a wild god maiden; how could divine evolution change that? Can we, as legitimate god maidens, not even beat a single wild one?”
“All of you, listen to me. Once we enter the Secret Realm, give that hussy a Pursuit Order. We’ll eliminate her first!” Aileen said, suppressing her anger.
“Wouldn’t it be, sort of, not right………” Lalo regained his senses at this moment. “We’re all classmates, so……….”
“Class President, did you lose your mind to this vixen?? Haven’t you forgotten how you treated her before? Even if we don’t go after her, do you think she’ll let us off easily?”
“………” Lalo fell silent.
“And she’s alone in her group, at most counting that utterly powerless waste of a Holy Son. We have three legitimate god maidens. How could we possibly lose to one wild god maiden plus a useless Holy Son?” Aileen confidently analyzed.
Three against one, and the opponent also happens to have a blind Holy Son. Advantage is ours!
Aistride regained her senses and glanced at the clouded silver moon pattern faintly glowing on the back of her hand.
Was it her imagination just now when she saw the texture of the golden sun and harp on Tillysha’s wrist as they brushed past each other?
But………
Seeing the ordinary human ears of the golden-haired girl, Aistride retracted her guess. Yet her curiosity about Tillysha’s identity remained unresolved.
Where did this golden-haired girl come from? Why is there no record of her in the academy beforehand?
She appeared out of nowhere, like she had.
Sophia also had the same curiosity.
This golden-haired girl was obviously just a human. Why did she feel so familiar………?
Speaking of which, why wasn’t he here?
All the divine maidens were present, so why wasn’t the Holy Son?
Just as Aistride was mulling this over, a shadow clad in black slipped through the crowd.
Everyone’s attention was on Tillysha, so much so that the inconspicuous black-haired boy drew no one’s notice.
“That boy,” the wood elf girl beside Aistride noticed him and glanced in Aistride’s direction instinctively, only to unexpectedly find that Aistride wasn’t paying attention to him but was still staring at Tillysha.
“Your Highness, the male human has arrived.”
“Huh?” Only after being reminded by her companion did Aistride notice that familiar figure, eyes slightly widening.
It’s Dillin……….. No, it’s not.
Aistride fixed her gaze on the black-haired youth who had paused behind the golden-haired girl. A trace of peculiarity flickered in her eyes.
Why, when Dillin approached, did she completely fail to sense his presence or scent? ?
Contrarily, Dillin’s presence was stronger on Tillysha.
Other people might not be able to tell the difference, but Aistride, with an extremely keen five senses and thorough familiarity with Dillin, noticed the oddity.
There wasn’t the ‘Dillin’ smell on Dillin’s body—on the contrary, Tillysha had more of Dillin’s scent on her.
It was as though this Dillin were just an empty shell without a soul.
What is going on here? ?
Looking at the silent Dillin standing behind Tillysha, Aistride’s eyes flashed with a strange light; she could sense something odd but couldn’t quite articulate it.
However, upon seeing the long bundle Tillysha carried on her back, she relaxed somewhat.
At the very least, Dillin hadn’t rejected her help.
