Chapter 55
The department head said, “Professor Lovell has already confirmed one spot. It’s for her niece, Hallie, a student from Class One.
“The other spot, the school is considering giving it to a freshman. She has a decent plane foundation and, more importantly, has some connections – the vice–principal What do you think about it, Ms. Claik?”
Kerrie pondered for a moment.
June Lovett was a renowned piano professor from a university in Bonnes, She’s quite famous in Sunspire.
Many children from prestigious families spend a fortune to have her teach them. Even if June didn’t request it, Kerrie already intended to let Halla participate in the competition.
However, she did not agree
with t
h the second candidate.
“I know the freshman you’re talking about. She’s indeed good at piano, but she still has a lot of room for improvement
“I suggest she practice for another year before competing that way, she’ll have a better chance of placing Herne stated. “I’ll discuss this matter personally with the vice–principal”
The department head asked, “So it looks like you already have a second candidate in mind?”
Kerrie said, “I recently discovered a promising talent. Her piano skills are impressive, but more importantly, she plays with genuine emotion for national competitions, that’s exactly what’s needed.”
She smiled, “However, we’ll see how she does in the upcoming performance, if it goes well, I’ll recommend her for the competition.”
As Hallie was about to turn the corner, she halted abruptly. She thought, ‘Ms. Clark’s words mean she’s sending Edith to the piano competition” Such a precious spot, and she’s giving it to Edith? Why?‘
Hallie’s face twisted uncontrollably with frustration
She thought, Tve repeatedly lost to Edith. Even my best friend Noreen was taken by her. If Edith enters this plano competition, it’s clear to sabotage me. She doesn’t want me to win the first prize at all.’
Halle endured her frustration, forcing her expression to look less miserable. Taking a deep breath, she walked to the entrance of the auditorium
She could hear the melodious music; it was Edith playing “For Elise.” The music was gorgeous and smooth, each note filled with deep emotion.
ay someone who had just passed level three of plano, or someone who hadn’t touched the piano in six years, could play something like
There was no way
that
Hallie thought, I’ve been fooled by Edith. She clenched her fists tightly, a venomous light flickering in her eyes.
The audience in the concert hall erupted in applause.
“Edith, you’re amazing!”
“think you play even better than Hallie. If only you had transferred to our school sooner, Hallie would be history!”
Just yesterday, Hallie’s cousin was arrested for an alleged assault, and her reputation plummeted. The girls who had always envied Hallie wasted no time kicking her while she was down.
As everyone praised Edith, the system’s voice echoed in her mind.

After leaving the auditorium, Edith passed a mirror and noticed her skin was getting better and better:
He once flat teenage figure had slowly started to take shape thanks to the system’s multiple rewards. Even in loose school uniformt, hər gracekil couldn’t be concealed
Edith sighed and robbed her temples. She would have prefered the system to reward her with improved memory, combat skills, or even a workbook- anything, really, even candies to bribe kids.
She didn’t want to improve her looks any further. Being too pretty wasn’t great either; her desk would be overflowing with love letters.
But she had a cold personality and an overpowering presence, along with a leadership quality reminiscent of a homeroom teacher
The boys who wrote her love letters never dared to express their feelings in front of her. They always had this fear that she might drag them out the net second and give them a lecture on studying hard,
In the distance, a girl was gradually approaching. She was wearing a houndstooth skirt and cute little shoes, it was the new transfer student, May
She had only been at the school for half a day, yet she had already caused quite a stir. When people learned she was from Bone, even more students
crowded around her.
May knew she was pretty, and that was her advantage. That’s why she felt bold enough to approach Larry and catch up with him. But when she saw Edith, an unfamiliar sense of insecurity welled up inside her.
even more eye–catching now?
She thought, ‘She wasn’t this beautiful when I ran into her this morning. Why is she even
Suppressing her jealousy, she walked over and said sweetly, “Edith, what a coincidence I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Edith turned her head and nodded indifferently at May but didn’t say a word.
“Edith, you’re so beautiful.” May was all sugar, showering Edith with compliments. “Treally like you. Can we be friends?”
Edith had the body of a teenager but the soul of someone in their thirties. With an adult’s perspective on kids, she could easily see through their hidden thoughts. She thought, ‘This May is not simple at all”
In a calm voice, she replied, “There are less than three months until the college entrance exams. I don’t have time to make friends. Without giving Maya chance to respond, she turned and walked away.
Watching Edith’s back disappear down the hall, May bit her up hard.
She thought, I’m the only princess in the Merrinwick family, always pampered and cherished, if it weren’t for my family’s situation, I wouldn’t be lowering myself to cater to someone who is nothing”
Even though she previously wouldn’t have given Larry a second glance, now she had to do whatever it took to get his attention. This was her only path forward.
Back in the classroom, Edith continued to work on her assignments. For her, studying was the most important thing right now, nothing else mattered as
much.
She spread out a math test and completed it, then moved on to a comprehensive science exam. For the questions she got wrong she wrote them down in her notebook, planning to ask Larry for help during evening study sessions.
“Edith, come with me. As soon as the class ended, Dan called her out.
Edith thought it was about her study progress, but to her surprise, Dan led her to
