The gap between rich and poor is also the source of many social contradictions in the new era, with many issues stemming from it.
Now, although the Rose Federation possesses formidable military power and faces no external threats, economic tensions have been silently tearing at the nation. These wounds hide beneath its surface, spread throughout its flesh and blood.
If, in so place, the wounds are particularly dense, the pain especially severe, it's only a matter of ti before an out-of-control organization, like cancer cells, erges.
...
The next day, by the lake at the foot of the mountain north of the school.
When the temperature was still not too high, several young girls arrived early, setting up a tent under a large tree.
On the azure lake surface, five white kites lined up in a row, swimming leisurely across the water. The weather was just right, and in the sunlight, the lake water appeared particularly clear.
By the lakeside near the shade of the trees, two girls sat together on a rock, holding fishing rods in their hands, occasionally chatting. Not far away, by the barbecue grill, a girl with chestnut hair watched the sizzling skewers before her, occasionally turning them, while another girl with silver snow hair sat under the tree, tuning her seven-stringed zither.
A girl with Shui Lan hair stood near the grove, stroking the white horse in front of her, feeding it so beans. High up on the tree canopy, a girl with caral short hair sat across a branch, occasionally swinging her legs, making her body sway with the branch. Her fingers spread open, falling into the wind, as she watched plant fruits like tiny flying wings pass by.
Ti passed quietly.
At noon, Tilan and several other songstresses sat on the grass, with a grilled fish placed on the grill before them. The fish was sprinkled with plenty of seasonings, its surface slightly crispy and exceptionally tempting.
Using chopsticks, they took small pieces, placed them on their plates, and after dividing them up, they savored them slowly.
"The grilling is excellent~"
"Tilan caught this one."
"The water quality here is very good, and the fish taste great."
"The remaining few small fish were given to the white kites."
"The potatoes buried under the fire should also be cooked by now, we can dig them out to eat."
"Making it yourself is the best~"
They laughed and chatted, enjoying this delightful leisurely picnic together.
In the afternoon, the six gathered on a mat under the tree to play a strategy board ga, building their own small villages, various buildings, and then producing various soldiers, from simple spearn to warriors riding dragons, as well as mages with diverse abilities.
Piece by piece moved across the map and fought each other until the last person won, occupying all the territories.
It went on like this until the sun tilted westward, when the sun was less intense, and they stood up again, strolling along the woods and Three Mountains Road, occasionally catching small bugs they found on the road and placing them in glass bottles.
In the evening, they each returned ho after having their fill of enjoynt.
In the following week, the lives of these songstress girls passed in much the sa way, occasionally captured by photographers recording their leisure ti. Although not released at the ti, these images beca highly prized video clips in later years, cherished by many who reminisced and imagined if, in another tiline, these songstress girls could always live such a calm and harmonious life.
Unfortunately, much of the beautiful scenes are destined to exist only in mory and video films.
After a slightly quiet and leisurely sumr vacation, Tilan's sophomore year at university began.
A shuttlecraft descended slowly from the sky, landing on the school's landing pad, after which a wide red carpet was rolled out. A woman in a dark red pogranate gown slowly erged, accompanied by a group of guards in red uniforms, disciplined and well-trained, with impeccable discipline.
'Pogranate Shattered Dream' Yarnasha, a Full Moon Level Songstress, is among the top five in comprehensive strength among the current songstresses in the Federation. Originating from the teor Star Domain, she has a tenacious character, having attended a military academy, only discovering her songstress talent after graduation, making her one of the few songstresses deeply connected with the military and frequently attending Federal Official events to comfort remote military regions.
Unlike Idrylia, who always spoke at an unhurried pace with an old-fashioned aristocratic deanor, even in her ceremonial gown, Yarnasha exuded a faint aura of authority and oppression. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the queen of the military.
After stepping off the shuttlecraft, this songstress with auburn hair took a simple glance at the sky and surroundings.
"Here is still the sa as before, peaceful and quiet indeed."
Then she walked slowly towards the upper echelons of the school who ca to welco her, and soon entered the campus building surrounded by the crowd.
Soon afterward, before Tilan and others had finished their sumr vacation, they received news that their new songstress ntor had arrived.
"It's actually her." Ores felt a bit fearful after seeing the na on the ssage, difficult to imagine such an expression appearing on her face.
"What's wrong with her?" Tilan, who happened to be visiting Ores's house, sat on a chair, holding a rabbit in her arms, gently stroking it.
"Yarnasha, the forr half-life of this songstress senior can be said to have been cultivated as a soldier, her way of doing things and the style of her songs are greatly influenced by this." On the other side, Shui Yianqing, who was also visiting here, recited the information she knew.
"In her singing, you can always hear a spirit of resilience laced with sorrow but never regret, that kind of great affection and determination facing adversity without complaint and regret."
"If songstresses are like beautiful flowers, then Yarnasha is definitely a flower forged of scarlet steel."
"Ah, another strict senior?" Blanchi listened and raised her head.
"Are you really that afraid of Idrylia senior? I rember she was quite gentle with you." Shui Yianqing walked over.
"She took care of a bit, but watching you guys train, I was scared too, afraid that one day I wouldn't et her standards either."
Saying this, Blanchi recounted various little anecdotes from when Idrylia was around.
"I never expected that after that incident, Idrylia senior never contacted us again. I don't know if she didn't want to, or if she was restricted."
"I heard Idrylia senior was summoned for a talk by officials from the Central Council, and then she left the school directly and returned to the Twin Trees Star Domain."
"Ores should know quite a lot of inside information, right?" Shui Yianqing looked at the Ice Spirit, sitting on the other side a bit bored, swiping the screen of her personal terminal.
"I don't know either, because the matter regarding Idrylia senior's transfer was highly confidential, even if the elders in the family knew, they wouldn't tell , just urged to study well at school."
"I just didn't expect that this ti Yarnasha senior would be transferred from the fringes to teach us, she is a well-known mber of the Iron Blood Faction in the songstress realm, always believing that the abilities of songstresses should be used on the battlefield, if you can't win on the battlefield, everything is just empty talk."
"It should be this incident that made many high-level officials in the Federation feel a sense of crisis." Shui Yianqing ntioned so inexplicable truth.
In the days that followed, news of 'Pogranate Shattered Dream' Yarnasha taking on the role of ntor for the new generation of songstresses quickly spread both in reality and online, prompting many to discuss its rationality or if there were more suitable candidates.
"I actually hope 'Moonstone' Otine would teach. Among the current songstresses, she is of a similar seniority to 'Ultramarine Painting' Idrylia and has a steady personality, but 'Moonstone' Otine has always been busy in the Central Star Domain, overseeing the diation and appeasent of various ethnic groups, an important duty that makes it difficult to extricate herself."
"In fact, 'rcury Bell' Fuyi is also a good candidate. As an elf, she has extensive experience and ample qualifications, but judging by her personality, she probably prefers to travel around rather than stay in a school to teach juniors."
"The other songstresses either lack strength, or their experience and prestige aren't enough to convince others." Soone offered an analysis.
"So, Yarnasha teaching would be what everyone expects?"
"Yes, I just hope that under her managent and guidance, the young girls won't suffer too much. I still want to see clips of their leisurely life to heal my soul." A netizen left a comnt like this.
Amidst various discussions, Tilan and the others also awaited the first day of the new sester...
