"?" Hexia Tilan glanced around briefly.
Regardless of seniority or fa, it shouldn't be , right? But there wasn't ti to dwell on the reasoning now.
"My na is Hexia Tilan. I co from the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain and specialize in classical, lyrical, and narrative-style songs. Currently, my songstress stage is at the Starry Sky Level." This was actually Tilan's conservative statent. The highest level she had revealed publicly was Starry Sky Level, though if she truly set her mind to it, she could reach the Moon Level at any ti.
The Starry Sky Level was the final stage for Star-ranked songstresses, just one step away from the Moon Level. When Tilan ntioned she had reached this stage, the others were visibly surprised. This black-haired girl rarely displayed her abilities as a songstress, so most people assud she was still at the Starshine Level.
Hearing her response, not only were Ores and the others astonished, but even Idrylia's gaze deepened for a few seconds. She had expected this young girl to have talent, but she hadn't anticipated her progress to be so rapid.
At this age, she'd already surpassed even Evelyn's tiline back in the day.
Following Tilan's introduction, it was Ores' turn.
"Ores Ice Hilary, from the Twin Trees Star Domain. I specialize in various musical styles and am currently at the Starry Sky Level as a songstress," Ores introduced herself confidently.
"Blanchi Mokolaira, from the Hemu Star Domain. I'm not particularly skilled in singing yet and am currently at the entry-level stage as a songstress," Blanchi said with slight nervousness during her self-introduction.
"Shui Yanqing, from... the Ash Frost Star Domain. I specialize in ethereal high notes and lingering lodies. Currently, my songstress stage is at the Starshine Level," Shui Yanqing hesitated initially but then answered fluently.
"Prin, from the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain. I specialize in rock-style songs and am currently at the Starshine Level as a songstress."
"Feng Jianchang, though my stage na is Audrey, from the Flying Feather Star Domain. I specialize in classical songs from both Eastern and Western traditions. Currently, my songstress stage is at the Starshine Level."
"Except for Blanchi's unique situation, the rest of you have all advanced to the Starshine Level. Such progress is comndable," Idrylia comnted.
"During my ti at school, I was the only one who reached the Starshine Level before graduating. The other two songstresses of similar age only managed to achieve this stage after graduating," she reminisced.
"Compared to us, the educational resources you have access to are significantly better. Back when I was young, the senior figures in the singers' circle were so few that we had to figure out many things on our own."
"Alright, with introductions out of the way, let's get to the main topic. Each of you will use your songstress abilities to sing a song. I'll observe and evaluate your status."
She then asked Blanchi to go first since she was the least advanced, thinking it might ease the pressure on her.
Following tradition, Blanchi perford the classic piece "Ode to the Golden Rose," after which Idrylia provided feedback and pointed out areas for improvent.
Then ca Shui Yanqing, followed by Audrey, Prin, and finally Tilan and Ores.
After all six had completed their performances and received evaluations, the ti had already crept up to nearly noon, 12 o'clock.
"Looks like that's all we have ti for today," Idrylia remarked after checking the clock.
"Although it was only two hours, I've been able to discern each of your unique personalities, and I've developed so ideas."
"This week, take care of any outstanding matters you have. Starting next week, I will comnce intensive training with you. It will last approximately two to three months, during which we may also travel to the Twin Trees Star Domain and Flying Feather Star Domain for exchanges. Be prepared at all tis."
"Understood, thank you, ntor Idrylia." The six of them expressed their gratitude, officially concluding the session.
After leaving the music hall, the six of them entered an elevator and departed together. Blanchi let out a small breath of relief midway.
"It felt so tense in the middle. Only now do I feel better after stepping out."
"You're just too intimidated by ntor Idrylia," Ores said with a laugh.
"Of course I am! I can't do anything, after all. Both you and Tilan must have felt perfectly at ease," Blanchi retorted indignantly.
Seeing her expression, the others couldn't help but laugh. Then Audrey chid in with her own comnt.
"There was definitely so pressure, but thankfully, ntor Idrylia wasn't as strict as I had imagined."
"For a songstress, effective communication is definitely a must, no? Strictness is rarely associated with songstresses because if you already have the talent, relying on harshness to persuade others would only reflect a lack of true ability."
"Are you suggesting that ntor Idrylia lacks ability? Don't let her hear you say that," one of the others joked, sensing trouble.
"Alright, let's drop this topic for now. Does ntor Idrylia's final ssage an we're about to enter so kind of closed training regin?"
"Probably. Looks like we won't have a chance to go shopping for quite a while," they discussed the announcent Idrylia had made earlier.
When they returned to the mansion, Tilan reviewed her schedule. The tasks she had at the pet clinic were supposed to continue for two more weeks, but with Idrylia's plan, it seed she'd have to wrap things up ahead of schedule.
With a few days of free ti left, she decided she needed to have a proper discussion with Alanna about the situation, as she'd likely be leaving for a while.
She couldn't predict how things would unfold on Alanna's side after her departure. Though the Mystic Organization hadn't shown much aggression so far, who could say what would happen later? Still, she couldn't decline Idrylia's course—it was an imnsely important class taught by a legendary figure in the singers' circle.
The best option was to arrange for others to assist Alanna. If sothing truly dire occurred, she would be notified imdiately.
"Lilico, Momoran, co here." Tilan called over two maids dressed in red rose-patterned gowns.
