Yi Chen harbored no particular hatred for “Teacher Fang,” more of a psychological shadow.
Since Director Cao intervened and separated the two, Yi Chen had not seen Teacher Fang until he successfully escaped.
When he encountered the Plus version of Teacher Fang, represented by an eleven on the dice, the psychological discomfort of the past resurfaced and gradually intensified, but it was quickly suppressed by Yi Chen.
“If the head chef here still rembers , Teacher Fang might find
familiar as well… This challenging art lesson might be troubleso.”
After observing Yi Chen for about ten seconds, Teacher Fang’s gaze slowly moved to the others.
“Today, I will instruct you all in Dance, from now until half an hour before you sleep, we will continuously dance here without stopping.”
...
“To ensure your dance poses are correct and to eliminate any laziness or lack of concentration, I have prepared a ‘Dance Partner’ for each of you. They will guide and monitor you at all tis.”
As soon as the words were spoken,
Teacher Fang’s right index finger shot out a fine thread connecting it to the top which provided illumination and miasma, gently pulling down after inserting it into the neck of one of the mannequin heads.
As if triggering a chanism,
a slanted opening appeared at the ceiling top, and a large amount of mannequin material tumbled and rolled out,
Due to the height, these materials cracked upon falling, and fluids even flowed out from them but were quickly restored to their original state under the influence of the miasma.
Different limb parts attracted each other and assembled into normal human mannequins.
They were the students’ dance partners, everybody could sense an inexplicable danger emanating from within the mannequins, even more dangerous than the young bodies in the cafeteria, and they could even imagine being eaten by the mannequins during the dance.
Teacher Fang’s voice ca through:
“The ‘First Stage’ will involve the mannequins assisting you in dancing. I will take care of the music. As everyone gradually gets accustod to the steps and stops making mistakes, we will proceed to the next stage.
Do not worry, as long as you keep up with the rhythm and don’t make too many mistakes, you can survive.
All right, co on down one by one.”
With a gentle wave of her hand,
the iron chains everyone held in their hands disintegrated into miasma, as if everything in the Art Hall was under her control.
Although the figures on the field were humanoid, there were many differences, leaving one unsure of how to choose.
“Don’t rush to fight over the mannequins, or they might get very unhappy~ Co over here to
and determine the most suitable dance partner by touching them.”
Everyone lined up neatly in front of Teacher Fang, and she would lightly touch the bodies of the orphans.
Swish!
An iron ring ca out of nowhere and directly penetrated through the blood and flesh of their shoulders, leaving a part exposed.
Hum~ The resonance from the iron ring would induce a reaction in one of the mannequins, guiding them over.
When it was Yi Chen’s turn, just as Teacher Fang stretched out her hand to touch him.
Swish! An iron ring directly pierced his shoulder, yet Yi Chen remained expressionless.
“What is your na?”
“Yi Chen.”
Teacher Fang leaned in close, her eyes widening as she scrutinized Yi Chen’s facial features, “It feels so familiar even though we’re eting for the first ti. I seem to have heard this na sowhere. Are we really eting for the first ti?”
“Yes.”
“I have high hopes for you, so don’t lose heart during the first round of dancing.”
“Okay.”
Yi Chen found the corresponding mannequin, with a height and build similar to his own.
When his body touched the mannequin, Snap! The mannequin’s fingers actively bent and grabbed Yi Chen, making it hard to break free.
Moreover, as a companion, Moon Scar was assigned a distant position, aning it was difficult for them to assist each other during the dance.
Wearing a flowing long dress, Teacher Fang walked to a corner of the Art Hall and touched a chanism, upon which a piano made of bones and plastic erged from within the wall.
A lody from “Swan Lake” resonated,
and as the piano keys, crafted from finger bones, played the corresponding tunes, the music seed to transform into thin threads connecting to the bodies of every model on stage, guiding them to start dancing.
The initial movents were relatively slow and gentle, and everyone was able to keep up.
Halfway through, the lody suddenly shifted, and the overall rhythm sped up while also incorporating so discordant elents, causing the models’ dances to beco uncontrollable,
including Lorrian, so without a dance background failed to adapt and fell behind in timing.
Whoosh!
Their palms were imdiately pierced by spikes growing from the model’s palms, undergoing assimilation; the skin of their palm areas turned completely plastic up to their wrists.
Lorrian watched his plasticized palms, his expression subtly shifting, knowing his current ans could not reverse it.
“No wonder it’s second only to the highest difficulty in talent lessons. It’s a pity I haven’t learned dancing before, grinding an axe at the last minute indeed proves tough…”
At that mont, a ferocious human face erged on Lorrian’s back,
the theater owner he used as a temporary other half started to take effect, activating the ability nad “Performance” to its full extent, directly mimicking the models’ dance moves synchronously.
In contrast, Yi Chen at this end, completely adapted to the abrupt rhythm change.
He had received direct instruction in dancing from Teacher Fang before his death, not to ntion the ballroom dance lessons he took during his ti living in Zion.
Moreover, the orphanage he grew up in also favored such rhythm changes, where failing to concentrate enough ant falling behind.
As ti progressed, Teacher Fang’s music grew increasingly bizarre, even straying from conventional movents, as strange, grotesque notes led the models into various abnormal movents,
like fold-over waist bends, bending and rotating of the wrist joints, and 720° aerial twists, among others.
About 1/2 of the students couldn’t keep up during this process, and ultimately, several parts of their bodies, including their heads, were penetrated, turning them into human mannequins.
Teacher Fang hamred them at the shoulders into iron rings,
clang clang! An iron chain lowered from above, hooking the fully modeled students and lifting them into the air.
Their heads were severed to serve as part of the lighting, while their bodies were stored in the model warehouse for future lessons.
An hour and a half passed,
Teacher Fang finally ceased his playing, whilst giving a round of applause.
“Very good, you have managed to keep up with my tune with the help of your dance partners. Next, you need to improvise based on my music and express your emotions through dance.
Pair up with each other, and in ten minutes, I will start playing the first piece of music.”
Pairing up,
many girls naturally noticed Yi Chen, who wasn’t assimilated in the slightest and approached him hoping to beco his dance partner.
Yi Chen, however, declined each one, navigating through the girls and heading toward the other end of the hall, where soone was also approaching him.
The two t exactly in the middle of the hall and, after exchanging greetings, prepared for a joint dance.
anwhile,
Yi Chen, through his dance moves, moved close to the ears of the silver-haired young man,
“Prepare to execute the plan…”
Hearing this, Lorrian’s eyes widened, “Oh? Are you planning to execute it on such a high difficulty occasion? I thought we’d wait until tomorrow.”
“Talent classes vary greatly, and it should only be if you roll an ’11’ that you get Teacher Fang’s class.
I had a significant past with this teacher, if we don’t seize this opportunity, who knows when it will co again.”
“Alright then, since it’s your bet~ if you want to increase the difficulty, I’m ga.
Too bad, my hands have been assimilated into a plastic structure, so my strength might be reduced.”
However, Yi Chen said dismissively, “If that level constraints you, the Twilight Clinic wouldn’t have completely fallen…Help
and let’s take this woman down.”
“My pleasure.”
