After a while, Then one of her slaves finally set their foot toward the ring. The battle was intense in which point Everyone can see her slaves is roughen up and bleeding, But he still keeps continued and he actually wins.
Then Hu Xia checks her phone and heals him with 1,500 Col. ‘Investment’ Hu Xia keep saying as she watches that she actually earned 3,700 Col from one battle.
In the end, most of Her slaves all of them have been up and keep winning. She then keeps healing them and sending them food to eat as gifts and can see the happiest point going up.
After 25 battle that all of her slaves has been doing, Today Hu Xia earns 79,500 Col and which she is a happy camper now. Also, Hu Xia notices that she can send a message to the Slaves. Which she leave a message saying in two days they will have a break from fighting.
Hu Xia then notices that the Battle ring is a really slow investment which she grumbles at that.
. . .
The next day went as the same, Hu Xia went into the wrestling club and practice some moves, then she goes to the singing clubs and actually sings to the other member who can’t sing at all and only listen.
Then after that Hu Xia went to eat at the restaurant once more and text Alexander about her days. Alexander was surprised That she went into the Battle Ring without telling him, as he is her escort.
Hu Xia then apologizes to him and tell him She will be at the battleground once more and will be managing him as she accompanies.
After she finished, she then used the car that she ordering for monthly for a cost 21,500 Col. And went to go to her merry way.
Arriving in the building of the Battle Ring, Hu Xia then sees Alexander who has been near the door and bow to her, As he has been waiting for her arrival.
“Eh, I thought I need to tell the administration that I want you as my accompany,” Hu Xia said as Alexander took her coat and purse and lead her to the room.
“Yes Young Mistress, But Young Mistress can tell me through the chat from an app as well.” Alexander the smile at that as he opens the door for her. Hu Xia then notices the room she is at is different than the last one.
“Now, would Young Mistress like to buy some slaves for the battle or Young Mistress already have some from yesterday?” Alexander then asks her as Hu Xia comfort herself into the throne chair she is sitting.
“It’s alright, I already have 7 of them. I don’t think I need more,” Hu Xia said as she shrugs. Then Alexander nod at her and summon a fancy glass, “Wine Young Mistress?” Alexander asks, Hu Xia then nod herself indicating that she wants it.
Then Hu Xia drink the wine elegantly, “Do you think they will be winning?” Hu Xia asks Alexander once more, Then Alexander bow toward Hu Xia and smile, “I believe so Young Mistress,”.
. . .
At the end Hu Xia earns 112,300 Col and give 3,500 Col to Alexander as always, Which caused her bank balance to be 504,400 Col. And that will be enough for her to buy stocks of gems for the next day Auction.
Also, Hu Xia found out The system also selling weapons. Which make Hu Xia have a brilliant idea of buying it cheap and selling it on the high price.
The Next day then she ditches all classes and the clubs to go to the Auctions Center, In there she then tell Alexander to put her gems and weapons that she will sell.
In the end, she earns a whopping 4,086,700 Col. She then gives 20,000 Col to a happy Alexander. Then Hu Xia decided for her not to do any upgrade yet and selling for a while as she already gains a lot to her account.
The weapon that she decided to sell is a shotgun, Apparently, Shotguns has never existed. So when she decided to sell it, And the Auctioneers try to wield it and shot it, was caused a really big figured people wanting to buy it.
Hu Xia only sells 4 of the shotguns and those shotguns also come with many packs of the ammo. Hu Xia also reminds the auctioneers to tell the people who bought her guns to add her from the app so she can sell then the ammo when they finish with their pack.
Which caused grateful looks from the auctioneer as he didn’t know how the weapon will be sold if it is just a limited use only.
Alexander was also curious about the guns that Hu Xia decided to give him a pistol for him and 5 packs of the ammo. He looks excited but trying to calm himself to look much more professional once more and smile at Hu Xia.
. . .
Many days have been passed, Hu Xia was walking toward her class after many days she has been ditching it, she then saw she is apparently late. Many of her classmates are already sitting down and look down.
Hu Xia then knocks the door, The Teacher then looks at Hu Xia figure and send her a small smile letting her sit into her seat.
As Hu Xia looks at many of the students, she was surprised as they all were too quiet and it is a perfect scenery for Hu Xia to sleep, Even though she already has a good night sleep.
“Eh, What happens?” Hu Xia whispers to the girl next to her, The girl wouldn’t bulge then suddenly she started to bawl her eyes. Then Hu Xia startled as she only asking a question and feel wronged.
“Ah, Hu Xia. Yesterday Xharlion liphine past away,” The Teacher then inform her with a happy voice, Then Hu Xia didn’t know how she felt, as she didn’t know who that guy that died was. Moreover, she still didn’t feel anything about it, no sadness nor sympathy.
“Xharlion Iiephine is a student from 18-A, He is our school Prodigies. He died yesterday because of the Ranking battle for our school, Horizon High students were using a new kind of weapon which caused Xharlion wound his heart and it was an instant death, Xharlion that time didn’t wear any armor that time his enemy is a mage and believe he is strong enough to handle his enemy without one. Now, That was stupid of him, as he-” Then Professor went into Lecture mode once more, Ignoring the wailing cries from many students.
Hu Xia then halts herself, ‘Wait a minute, A new kind of weapons. Uh, Are they mentioning about my shotguns? No. it can’t be. Must be a coincidence. And the culprit is a student? I don’t think any of those 4 of my client is a student. Or one of those have a kid and decided to give or borrow the weapons to showing off or winning it? Oh no, It means I just kill someone by selling guns!! Oh, wait, no calm down Hu Xia. You didn't kill anyone. Yes. It just a coincidence,’ Hu Xia then start to fidgeting and pretending to be busy at her phone.
“Teacher, Question. Can I see what type of weapon is that?” Hu Xia then said as she stands up, She already feels guilty when she played with the human lives at the slaves battle now she just kill a school favorite. Maybe being rich easily always have a price that she needs to pay. Like this one.
“Hm? Sure, we are going to discussing how the battle is anyway.” The Teacher then shrugs his shoulder, Then as The Teacher open the 3D image it shocked Hu Xia who the opponent was.
‘It’s fucking Alexander!! And that’s the Pistol I give him. I mean, Now I know he can actually learn the weapon in short amount of time which made him a prodigious. Wait a minute, If Alexander going to school then how come I see him each time I ditch classes? Maybe when you reach a higher class you can ditch without joining clubs? Or he put that as his part-time? Hmm, Maybe because he is a prodigy that the school know they need him and give him an immediate A+?’ Hu Xia then struggling to think as she saw Alexander's face is actually different than his usual smile.
This one is a cold-blooded murder face, With his red eyes that are always warm changed into sharp predatory eyes. His warm smile now changed into a mocking smirk, and his expression that always genuine and gentle changed into menacing and evil looking.
‘Even the hair is different, Maybe that is Alexander twin brother? Or cousin? And he is bullying Alexander once he knows that Alexander has a unique weapon on his hand?’ Hu Xia then went into thinking mode.
“His name is Alexander Giftrals, He is 18 years old and has a nickname of ‘Gifted Killer’. He also province in his magic, That is why Xharlion didn’t think that he needed any armor. That is an often mistake of him causing him to die, please use Armor even if you think you aren’t going to use it. That can change lives, and please don’t be stupid and big head like Xharlion is. Also, Alexander then starts showing the new weapon he used and call the weapon ‘M’Lady’. Xharlion is not the only victim, It has been 14 other students from another school who has been killed, and 6 of them is now wounded with a permanent scar is what the medic said.” The Teacher then explain,
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
‘Ok, That’s Alexander then. Not his Twin nor cousin. But call the pistol M’Lady? I am amazed at you Alexander. Maybe I should forgive him, I mean. He may be used it at a good caused? Oh, Who am I kidding? From the day I am in this world, The rule of this world is simple, The strongest or Richest can survive. Now, My guilt feeling is slowly gone, Thank the system for that.’ Hu Xia then smiles and sigh.
“- Any questions?” Then The Teacher finished his lecture as Hu Xia ranting. All the student then shook their head, Then Hu Xia looks at Alexander opponent Xharlion, And apparently, Xharlion is the blond hair prince. ‘Oh, That’s why all the populations in this school are sad,’. Hu Xia then covers her mouth to stop her from laughing. People near her think that she is also sad as the whole populations of the female.
. . .
“Hu Xia, you ready? This song yea? I mean.. I can just sing this little part and that one part. You can sing the entire song while we will chorus on some of them,” Mira said as she keeps re-read the paper that I write the lyric of the song that we will sing.
The song that we choose is Wind by Naruto, It’s a sad song in my opinion and it can probably get the judge heart. Also, They all think that I make these songs as they never heard of any songs that I have been singing.
“Ready?” Laurel said, Trying to be positive and not nervous. Then Rose just nod as her mouth moving so fast that we all thought she was reading instead of singing. Rose then let out a smile,
“I can’t believe that we actually went into the tournament representing our school!! Like we were just normal students who fake a club until the real one come up! Guys, You know.. It’s alright if we didn’t win this! At least we have the experience to sing!” Mira says as she smiles happily and tries to make the mood to be cheery. Really, the contrast of her bold makeup and her word is really out of the ordinary logic.
“No can do! We must win this!! My parent actually coming to something that I am included! And Let me tell you, My parent never, never coming to any of my stuff even my graduations when I was 7 years old. So This is a big deal!” Rosa says as her eyes went into a fire once more.
“Alright, you all ready yet?” Hu Xia said as she is done seeing the soppy friendship power. The three then nod,
“What about you Hu Xia, Is your parent will come? I mean, This is a big deal.. We compete with the 3 main provinces!” Laura said as she keeps looking at her paper and trying some new tone she can use.
“Eh, I don’t actually know..” Hu Xia says, ‘I mean, I didn’t even think it was a big deal when Mira tell me that there is a tournament coming up. I thought we only going to the gym like the Kendo and that Wrestling one. Not going to the main building of the Eparean Empire at all. And Parents? Well, I forgot that I had them in this life, to be honest.’
“Eh, Uh. Well, I mean you look like the Xiōngshǒu Empire native, If your parent is from there probably you will meet them today, as we are competing them too anyway. Just remember, we need to win!” Rose say and made the 4 of us nod.
‘I’m already rich and strong. So I don’t think I need the money anyway. But the badge can be good to collect I guess. Also, it reminds me. Why my so-called ‘parents’ never actually see how I was doing? Or at least try. But oh well,’ Hu Xia then nods to herself to resolve herself.
“From Lunacrest Academy, They will sing an Original composed by Hu Xia!” The mic person then said as the four girls come into the stage, Mira and Hu Xia is in the middle while Laura on the left and Rose on the right.
“Cultivate your hunger before you idealize
Motivate your anger to make them all realize
Climbing the mountain, never coming down
Break into the contents, never falling down
My knee is still shaking.
Like I was twelve
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care
Waiting is wasting for people like me
Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry 'cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end~”
Then all the people were clapping causing the trio to cry of happiness and Hu Xia smile,
“Alright, That was a really good performance from Lunacrest Academy from the Eparean Empire!! Now, Let’s hear from the judge.” Then at that Mira beside Hu Xia hold her breath as she still can’t believe that she actually at this very tournament.
“Ah, It was a great song, Which one is Hu Xia?” The female Judge then asked, all the trio start to pointing at their shortest member.
“I am,” Hu Xia said, “Ah, You are so young,” At that Hu Xia is annoyed, as many people keep telling that she is young or too young. “But what inspires you to write this touching song?” The female judge asks,
“Ah, When I see this boy struggling to get an acceptance from other people is just amazed me, No matter how the other people treated him like trash, he still greeted the world with a smile. He also treasures friendship bonds and never betray them even though his best friend does betray them, And that what inspired me to write the song.” Hu Xia said as she summarizes Naruto lives,
“Oh my, What an amazing boy he is,” The female judge, “We would like to hear more song from the inspiration you have with the boy, Can you sing it for us?” The Judge then challenge Hu Xia.
From Hu Xia sides, the trio startled and scared, “It’s ok Hu Xia, we don’t need to win it,” Mira whisper in her left, Then suddenly Rose stand and whisper back, “C’mon Hu Xia! Let your power flow and make a good song so we can win!!”.
Hu Xia then went into a thinking mode, There is a song that she actually likes, but it is in Japanese, She is not sure if she can sing it.
“the most important thing is always
without any shape,
even if you have it or lose it
you'll never know
turning sadness into kindness
your uniqueness into strength
it's okay to get lost so begin walking
it's natural like the rainbow
that somehow appears after tears
the rain stopped
so the most important thing is always
without any shape
even if you have it or lose it
you'll never know
turning sadness into kindness
your uniqueness into strength,
believing that you should be able to do it
once again, once again,
once again, are you ready?”
At that Hu Xia then sing the English version with the help of System translating the song into English for 300 Col. At that Mira, Laura, and Rosa is happy because Hu Xia actually passed the judge famous trick.
Then the crowd is filled with clapping, and Hu Xia bows and smile, “Thank you,” she said.
“No, Thank you, The song that you just sing have a really deep meaning, no? We hope to see you all into the semi-finals.” The male judge then said, Hu Xia and the trio just nod.
After that Hu Xia is alone at the room that they were placed at. Mira was gone searching for a new cute guy to talk to, Laura went to buy some souvenirs for her family, and Rose is now with her family. Leaving Hu Xia alone at the room,
“System, I want to learn Instrumental music skill, How much it would be?” Hu Xia asked as she is now bored.
[ 1,000,000 Col to learn all the instrumentals ]
At that Hu Xia choked on her drink, “What the fuck!” Then Hu Xia calms herself and think that she can just earn another one and let The System be greedy for once, and take her 1 million Col.
“System, I want to buy a violin,” Hu Xia said as she is feeling a little too lonely.
[ Violin will cost user 2,500 Col ]
“Sure system, take my money..” Hu Xia said, then the Violin materialized into her hand, As she holds the Violin, many of the options come into her head, Then she chooses Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso - Violin Sonata No. 9,
As her hand moves slowly to the melodies of the voices on her head, she finally moved into the automatic movement once more, Then Hu Xia regretting that she choose the song as it just makes her more depressed once more.
But suddenly the music has gone faster and her blood then thumping, Then she smiles, as Hu Xia look up she can see the mirror. Her Reflection is so gorgeous, Her hair all dropped into a messy braid, sweat can be seen on her face and a smile that just blooming as she is now not feeling lonely no more.
After she finished it, Then she chooses Howl's Moving Castle Main Theme as her second music, using her violin she then moves her body to dance to the tune. As Hu Xia dancing to her violin tune, The sound of the music can be heard from the outside and raise a quiet amount of people,
In there they found a girl with pale skin and long loose braided black hair dancing to her violin music. The white dress that the girl use colored her as a fairy, and each time the music going up she then smiles and dances elegantly,
Many people captative by the look of her and never try to make any movement nor sound as they don’t want to bother the girl. Then suddenly the music goes into the highest note and she’s finished.
Letting people clap their hand and Hu Xia just stand there shocked on what just happen.
“You are Hu Xia yes? I know you are talented on your song but I never knew you are also talented on instruments, Is that Violin? Wow, Violin is one of the ancient instrument and from the sound of it, you actually master it! And at such a young age too!” A guy then comes to her and shook her hand, Hu Xia just nod at him still at lost on what happened.
“Could you please play another one for us please?” Then a girl comes to Hu Xia and begs, ‘Why the hell not, I mean, I was lonely. But it doesn’t mean I need the entire crowd here..’ but at the end, Hu Xia decided to play it another song.
. . .
After Hu Xia finished her Your Lie in April using her violins, Finally the people decided to leave her alone. But without Hu Xia knowledge most of them were recording her and post it into the world online site. Causing people to acknowledge her as the ‘Music Fairy in White Dress’.
Then the semi-finals come and the trio and Hu Xia decided to sing another song. Hu Xia then chooses Me Likey from Twice, They been working at this for a while now, and Hu Xia decided to show them the dance move that she remembers. There was a casual remark on how Rose barely can dance but we all four just laugh it up and ready our self with the costume that Hu Xia bought from the system.
And when the trio sees the costume they were squealing like crazy, then paid Hu Xia as they thought Hu Xia made it for them. Hu Xia just shrugs and accepting more cash into her pocket.
Also, Hu Xia bought the music theme from the System as well. The trio was happy as it is a cute song and a cute dancing encouraging them to keep practicing. Then after the time the song comes, The four of the Lunacrest Academy student come up with their pose, Then the song start and they all start their dance moves.
“My heart is beating Me Likey
Me Likey Likey Likey
Me Likey Likey Likey
Pitter patter pitter patter pitter patter Heart Heart
Making yourself look nice is such a hassle
Doing it
Means I can’t only do it halfway
It makes my heart beat every day
Only you can’t know
And be thick skinned
BB Cream papapa
Lipstick m-m-ma
Shall I take a picture prettily
When you see this, smile
And press it
Underneath, the red and cute

But saying that I like you is predictable
It’s not enough to show you how I feel
But I like you, even though I can’t sleep
Even though I’m late, I still like you
Heart Heart
Me Likey
Me Likey Likey Likey
Me Likey Likey Likey
Pitter patter pitter patter pitter patter
I hold my breath in so I can zip up
Once more, suck my waist in

Many pretty clothes in the world
BB Cream papapa
Lipstick m-m-ma
… “
As the trio and Hu Xia finished the dancing and the singing their part the crowd once again went wild.
Lunacrest finally won the first place, causing all the 4 cries in happiness and proud face teachers who are attending the performance.
After all of that, Hu Xia then calls her own car that she bought, and go back to the dorm, and sleep as she is exhausted for today.
. . .
