Although still ranked first, the position was far from as secure as before.
Measures had to be taken, Suochensi stroked his chin and then glanced at the time beside him.
"Send a letter to the Academy Board of Directors, I need to apply for some assistance, also, find time to notify Sevia La, have her look at these two videos as well, and analyze the combat strength of the two individuals. They're likely to be strong opponents in this winter festival's competition."
Aside from Saint Yingo, other Academies found themselves in a similar situation. The emergence of two students with Angel Possession from Lelisa Academy was simply too dazzling to ignore, compelling them to reconsider and adjust their subsequent strategies.
"So, Deklabi's real name is Bettina?" Tilan knelt on her bed, messaging her old friend.
She soon received a reply.
"It's me, aaaah, it's actually quite embarrassing, I ended up crying during the match T T," Bettina sent a weeping emoticon.
"Everyone thought I could do it, and after winning two matches, they let me play the third but I lost so quickly, it was so embarrassing." Bettina typed rapidly, replying to Tilan.
"And what about Dantalion, where are you studying now? We'll have a week off after this semester's winter festival, it would be a rare chance to go out and have fun." Bettina asked curiously.
Me? Tilan was slightly surprised; she thought Bettina would have recognized her identity by now. After all, as a Songstress, her image had been widely shared online, and someone even made a figurine of her. Although it was a handmade craft and not a commercial product, preventing them from suppressing it arbitrarily, they eventually let them be.
"I'm over here at Edith Academy, if you have time, Bettina, you could come over and visit." Tilan said her current whereabouts to Bettina, but didn't specify that she was Hexia Tilan.
"Oh, by the way, I recently saw a video online with a virtual idol named Dantalion in it; is that you? Your voice sounds so similar~" Bettina had the chance to go online these past couple of days since she had won, and she had practically been scrolling through videos every day, which is how she came across the recent collaboration between Tilan and Clara.
"Silver hair, purple eyes, and the voice, it's too familiar," Bettina said somewhat happily.
"Ah, that actually was me," Tilan, figuring she couldn't hide it, simply admitted.
"Yay~ So Dantalion is really that good at cards, huh? Before, I only saw you helping Belfeng out. I didn't expect you to learn so fast~"
"Next time we have a gathering, we should play properly. Oh, and I must introduce you to my best senior friend at school. It's Seraphiel who played in this tournament; she really is a wonderful person~~~" Bettina sent a bunch of symbols to express her fond feelings.
It seemed the girl was quite popular at Lelysia Academy; she must be very happy, looking at this made Tilan feel a bit of joy as well. After all, it's her former colleague, both of them are of similar age and have many topics in common.
"Sure, see you next time."
Seraphiel, huh? A very special person indeed, Tilan thought as she put down her personal terminal, recalling the scene from a few days ago.
That girl with Angel Possession, her Talent was so formidable and unique, it probably reached Legendary Level. In today's six major Academies, she truly stood in a league of her own. It was unexpected that it took until her junior year for others to become aware of her. The low profile and conservatism of Lelysia Academy were quite evident.
