Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 186 Sun in the Water Refraction

"What are you thinking about, Tilan?"

A familiar voice reached the girl sitting in the audience, and then the young miss in a black Lace dress sat down beside her.@@@@

"I'm thinking that what I can do is actually quite limited," the girl turned her head, looking towards Deloris beside her.

"In the new term, although I've formulated good plans and arrangements for everyone, when it comes down to it, I can only sit here and watch everyone struggle and shout."

"Hehehe~ Are you thinking of going down to help them with their training, Tilan?" Deloris found it amusing and then began to console the overly sympathetic girl.

"Victory is their glory, and the training filled with sweat is the ladder to their strength. This is their own growth and transformation. If they fail, it's also the result of their own lack of strength, not because of you."

"Tilan, you can inspire everyone's fighting spirit and encourage them, and you have done very well already. You don't need to worry about everyone anymore."

"Otherwise, you'll become an annoying old granny, you know~" As she said this, Deloris lightly scraped the tip of Tilan's nose with her fingertip.

After listening to Deloris's comforting words, Tilan felt much relieved and also revealed her previous thoughts.

"Mainly, seeing everyone working so hard while I just sit by the side, it's a bit uncomfortable..." She attempted to describe that feeling. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

"I get it, Tilan, you're afraid that someone will say, 'Why should we train so hard while you just sit on the stage and enjoy the fruits of victory?' You're worried about such accusations, right?" Deloris quickly figured out what was on the girl's mind.

"Tilan's thoughts are always so delicate. Let me think about how to explain this to you."

"It must be that in the environment where you used to live, people often criticized you like this. But in reality, you don't need to bear these," Deloris gently stroked the girl's hair.

"Even if Edith Academy fails, it's not your responsibility. Success or failure has so many factors, and Tilan, you're still just a student. You're not the owner of Edith Academy. You haven't gained everything from the academy, nor should you bear everything."

"With this relaxed mindset, you can just focus on what you're doing."

"However, as I said all this, you probably won't listen," Deloris said with a light press on Tilan's shoulder.

"It is because you harbor hope that you feel disappointment, it is because you have higher expectations of the world that you feel sorrow for what is in front of you."

"Disliking this corrupt world, not fond of ugly and insincere things, yet worldly teachings force you to temporarily succumb to them," Deloris crouched down and embraced the girl before her.

"Your hesitation and uncertainty are the resistance and struggle deep inside you against all this. Once you find the right path and method, you will become instantly determined, without any hesitation," she added.

"I know, oh, I know about the fervent desire hidden in Tilan's heart, this beautiful wish that may seem naive and impractical to outsiders. But I think it's only because they have already given up and submitted to worldly gains, justifying and excusing their actions," Deloris explained.

"When the truly powerful and beautiful sun reveals itself, they dare not look directly into such brilliance because it exposes their ugliness and disgrace, as if placed under the spotlight for all to see, with nowhere to hide."

"Er, it's not as grand as Deloris makes it sound, like I'm some kind of amazing person," the girl said shyly, turning her face away and feeling her cheeks flush.

Deloris smiled at Tilan and then took her hand, pulling the girl up from her seat.

"Then let's move forward. I believe that Tilan will become just as I've described," she said, blinking as she wiped away the tears lingering at the corner of Tilan's eyes.

"Let's apply to the Academy today. We'll visit and call upon the other Academies so Tilan can feel more at ease and not so worried and anxious," Deloris suggested.

"Don't put all the pressure on yourself; we're here for you, whether it's the student council or the members of the clubs. I'm sure everyone would be very willing to help Tilan," she reassured.

"Friendship is like that too. If it's only you giving unilaterally, it becomes strange. When others return your help, it also allows them to feel secure and reassured because you've made them feel valued and needed," she explained.

"Because you shine so brightly, you're so exalted, your 'need' will grant them greater recognition and make them feel prouder and more fulfilled," Deloris said.

"Just like a melody and rhythm that keep resounding, in this continuous exchange, the bond and connection between both parties will grow ever more tenacious."

Deloris may not understand the abilities and methods of enhancement of a Songstress, but many things share similar patterns, and Tilan kept these words in her heart, reflecting upon them alongside the teachings of the High Priest.

Closing her eyes to compose her emotions, the girl reopened them, and it seemed as if a faint blue radiance danced within, captivating as the shimmering reflection on water.

"I understand," she said.
