Who hid My Corpse!-Chapter 379: Forty-four Am I a bad woman who disappointed you? (5K)_3

They discovered that the scale pattern, which should have been silver, was emitting a faint golden light.

...

About ten minutes later, Miss Hevnia was strolling beside the Forbidden Forest.

Bai Wei’s voice leisurely rose in her mind, "You really are a bad woman, couldn’t you just use my eyes to see?"

While pondering about what exactly was going on with Orenna’s notes, Miss Hevnia was briefly stunned by Bai Wei’s words and replied, "Are you talking about what I just did? Indeed, I could use your eyes, but that would carry an extra cost, and honestly, I’m not keen on wasting too much vitality on her."

"You could let me help you take a look."

"Perhaps I prefer to see it with my own eyes, and I also wanted to gauge her reaction," Miss Hevnia said. "But you’re right, I am a bad woman, does that disappoint you?"

"Disappointed? Why would I be disappointed?" Bai Wei said with a laugh. "Am I not complimenting you?"

"Is that so?"

"To achieve your goals by any means necessary, that’s why you could wait for me to come," Bai Wei said. "Otherwise, my partner now would be someone else."

"Wouldn’t someone else be better?" Miss Hevnia asked. "In your eyes, a bad woman like me, uncontrollable and disobedient, shouldn’t make a good partner, should she?"

"Well..." Bai Wei said slowly, "Who knows?"

...Becoming cryptic again.

Miss Hevnia wasn’t sure if she should have asked for more clarity.

But at that moment, sudden footsteps transmitted from the Forbidden Forest, immediately tensing Miss Hevnia.

Who would come out of the Forbidden Forest?

Immediately, she pulled out her Magic Wand and turned her head, and then...

"Mr. Daniel?"

The person who came out was Daniel, holding a Magic Wand.

"Wow, to see you here, Miss Hevnia," Daniel greeted cheerfully, "We really are fated... But it’s also quite a pity, meeting you at this time; I was hoping to tidy up before seeing you."

Despite not feeling any hostility from Daniel, Miss Hevnia maintained sufficient vigilance.

After all, he had come from the Forbidden Forest.

Miss Hevnia came to the Forbidden Forest for a good reason—to find a suitable place for a murder.

But why was Daniel here?

Daniel noticed Miss Hevnia’s alertness and then, with a smile, put away his Magic Wand.

"Don’t be nervous, Miss Hevnia," he said, smiling. "I’m just here at your teacher’s request to help clean up some rubbish."

"Cleaning up rubbish?"

"Yes," Daniel said. "It’s that... Snow Thorns Beast; you must know about it."

"Everyone at the academy knows."

"I thought so; it’s already cost a few lives," Daniel said, brushing off the snow from his clothes, laughing. "Honestly, when I heard about the Snow Thorns Beast, I thought I had traveled back over ten years. Weren’t those things extinct? How did it suddenly appear? Then your teacher told me there’s only one, and it’s a bit tricky to clear since the grand ceremony is approaching; they couldn’t spare anyone, so they asked me to take a look."

Hearing this, Miss Hevnia slightly relaxed her guard and put away her Magic Wand.

Of course, it was just a facade; she actually slid the wand up her sleeve, ready to draw it at any moment.

"Even the young master of the Taichu family has to do such tasks?" Miss Hevnia asked. "Aren’t you afraid of the danger?"

"What’s so dangerous about one Snow Thorns Beast?" Daniel laughed. "Anyway, I had nothing else to do, so I took a walk. Besides, if I’m not afraid of dying, then there are quite a few unafraid people at your academy too."

Miss Hevnia sharply picked up something from Daniel’s words.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I’ve noticed there aren’t a few people wandering around in the forest," Daniel said. "When I came early in the morning, I saw several people."

Early morning?

Miss Hevnia immediately thought of Orenna, so she feigned surprise and asked, "Really? What were they doing?"

"What else?" Daniel said lightly. "The usual business at every grand ceremony, Ascension Magic."

Ascension Magic?

The sight of the stray Golden Note on Orenna’s silver notes flashed through Miss Hevnia’s mind.

"What is that?" she asked quickly, then, as if realizing it seemed inappropriate, added, "I’m just asking casually, if it’s something private..."

"It’s not private, but indeed it is Taboo Magic," Daniel said, obviously not minding sharing with Miss Hevnia. "But it has nothing to do with us, since Ascension Magic, as you can deduce, is meant for that. And we’re already at the peak. Of course, it could be used if necessary, but there’s no need."

Ascension Magic... Miss Hevnia had heard this term before.

Even before the Seven Notes·Syllable, she had heard it from many places.

She had even come across someone who seemed to use this magic—Aiman.

But at that time, she hadn’t cared much for the magic; she was already a Golden Note and had much more to learn, so she had put it aside for the moment.

She had never heard of anyone ascending to Golden Rank using this magic.

"Is it really possible?" Miss Hevnia asked. "From Silver Rank to Golden Rank?"

"Of course," Daniel answered with a smile.
