Chapter 921: Chapter 921: The Unlucky Crow
Qin Sisi attracted fifteen butterflies with her Floral Butterfly Dance music during the last Music Magic class, so the task of twenty butterflies was not a big deal for her.
With the experience from last ti, the four of them quickly found their own spots, either sitting or standing, all staying quietly inside the Magic Hood with adsorption magic.
Attracting ten butterflies did not take too long during the last class, so they all had confidence in attracting twenty butterflies this ti, except for Qing Pu who felt a bit burdened.
It wasn’t that he lacked confidence, but the crow that was attracted by his music during the last class made him feel embarrassed.
It is well-known that crows have an unpleasant call, and having his music attract one was hard to accept for Qing Pu, who always cared about his reputation.
Therefore, this ti his music carried so hesitancy, hoping to attract more butterflies and not any other unsightly creatures.
This wish was sowhat extravagant, because creatures attracted by sound were not limited to butterflies, although the piece was nad Floral Butterfly Dance, other flying insects similar to butterflies could also be drawn to it.
If the level of Music Magic were higher, producing more beautiful and pure music, it might be possible to attract only butterflies.
But at Qing Pu and his peers’ current level, obviously, it was not achievable.
Qing Pu’s overcautiousness actually created a psychological barrier for him, preventing him from fully imrsing in the performance of the music, and significantly slowing his pace in attracting butterflies.
By noon, Qin Sisi and Wen Xuan had already completed the task of twenty butterflies, and Teacher Yirou took them to find Li Li.
When they reached Li Li’s location, she was short by one butterfly, and after waiting a while, a butterfly flew from afar, circling around Li Li and was quickly absorbed by the adsorption magic.
Thus, Li Li also completed the task, and she had no interest in staying any longer, leaving ahead by herself, and the three of them went to check on Qing Pu’s progress.
Qing Pu had perford quite well in the last class, so they were surprised to see that he had only attracted eighteen butterflies this ti.
Teacher Yirou slightly furrowed her brows, observed Qing Pu for a while, and softly said, "Don’t think too much, concentrate a little more, and let music be the only thing on your mind."
Following Teacher Yirou’s guidance, Qing Pu tried to gradually let go of his concerns, allowing himself to devote entirely to the music.
Fearing that she might disturb Qing Pu, Teacher Yirou led Qin Sisi and Wen Xuan out of Qing Pu’s line of sight, to a place where he couldn’t see them, and quietly listened to the sound of Qing Pu playing the chi stones.
Teacher Yirou closed her eyes, eliminating the interference of vision, and judged the advantages and disadvantages of Qing Pu’s performance solely with her ears.
Qin Sisi also closed her eyes, imitating Teacher Yirou, rembering that her father had once said a long ti ago that once visual distractions are removed, hearing becos more sensitive.
Qing Pu’s musical notes, which had been sowhat erratic, beca deeper and more focused, and the tone seed to be more beautiful as well.
After a while, the music suddenly beca lively, as if interacting with sothing—could it be that a butterfly had arrived?
Thinking to herself, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but open her eyes slightly to glance at Teacher Yirou, and saw her looking pleased, with the corners of her lips unconsciously curling up in satisfaction with the music.
Qin Sisi felt that she must have guessed correctly.
A mont later, just as Qin Sisi felt that Qing Pu was about to complete the task of twenty butterflies, the beautiful music abruptly stopped, as if encountering so unexpected event.
The three of them exchanged glances and imdiately turned to rush towards Qing Pu’s location.
When they got closer, the scene before their eyes made them feel a mixture of laughter and tears.
They saw that a pitch-black crow was also caught in the adsorption magic that surrounded Qing Pu.
In fact, many creatures are attracted by music, and on the adsorption magic of Qin Sisi and Wen Xuan, besides butterflies, there were many other insects and birds as well.
However, crows seem to have an innate talent for cody. As soon as they appear, they can’t help but bring a smile to soone’s face.
The three of them approached Qing Pu one after another. Teacher Yirou originally wanted to tease Qing Pu a bit, but upon a closer look, she saw that Qing Pu’s face was pale and his gaze fixed on the black crow with rapid breathing.
Teacher Yirou put away her teasing mood, quickly counted the number of butterflies on the adsorption magic, and said, "There are exactly twenty butterflies, you can end the class now."
After speaking, she raised her arm and dispelled the adsorption magic, and all the butterflies, bees, moths, and that crow instantly flew up.
That unlucky crow landed on a branch not far away and cawed a few tis towards their location.
While it was nothing to Teacher Yirou and the others, Qing Pu’s face went pale, and he couldn’t restrain himself. Flipping his palm, he condensed a ball of green Water Attribute Magic Power.
"Bursting Water Bullets!" Qing Pu shouted loudly and thrust his hand toward the crow. A flash of green Magic Light shot out, hitting the crow spot on.
The poor crow didn’t even have a chance to cry out before it was struck by the Bursting Water Bullets and knocked high into the air, from where it then fell to the ground, straight to the underworld.
Qin Sisi couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows. Even if the lives of these small animals were sowhat insignificant, if they ant no harm, surely there was no need to eliminate them so ruthlessly?
Wen Xuan was also astonished, looking at Qing Pu in disbelief.
Teacher Yirou’s expression also darkened, and she patiently explained to Qing Pu, "Many animals are attracted by the sound of music; this is normal. If you want to attract only butterflies, you need to enhance your skills in Music Magic to a certain level. There’s no need to hold a grudge against a crow."
Qing Pu did not look at Teacher Yirou but lowered his head and replied, "I understand, thank you for your guidance, Teacher Yirou. I will take my leave now."
After speaking, he still with his head down, walked past Qin Sisi and Wen Xuan, heading straight into the distance.
Teacher Yirou watched his sowhat desolate figure and let out a slight sigh.
After pondering for a mont, she turned her head and asked, "Qin Sisi, if your adsorption magic caught a crow, what would you think?"
Qin Sisi paused before replying, "Didn’t you just say it? Many animals are attracted by the sound of music; it’s a normal phenonon, so I wouldn’t think anything of it."
Teacher Yirou nodded in approval, then continued, "It’s a pity that Qing Pu doesn’t seem to think the sa way. A promising music talent, what a waste."
If Qing Pu continues to treat this incident as a personal barrier, he will not have much potential for developnt in Music Magic in the future.
Qin Sisi looked in the direction where Qing Pu had disappeared, not quite understanding the thoughts of her male classmate, who seed to have too much pride.
