Chapter 491 : Star Domain Black Hole
Chapter 491: Star Domain Black Hole
After the performance, Janna also used her strong creative talent to successfully obtain the arrangement rights for [Isabelle]’s solo piece.
Of course, afterward, David-Berg privately asked Janna whether she wanted to take on the entire arrangement rights for “The Withering Rose,” thus officially establishing her reputation as a so-called “genius composer” in New Pur.
However, Janna had decisively refused this suggestion.
First of all, in terms of time and energy allocation, just keeping up with her coursework, nurturing [Fallen Stars], and rehearsing for the opera was already enough to keep her busy. She truly had no time or energy left to take on additional arrangement work.
Secondly, Janna knew very well that the reason she was able to successfully compose the “Symphony of Angels” trilogy was entirely due to her [Soul Listening] talent, which allowed her to hear the “melody of the soul” within different people. At the same time, it also depended on her deep understanding of the character [Isabelle].
For that very reason, if she were to compose songs for other main characters, she would need to once again quiet her heart and analyze their mental journeys in detail — something that would be extremely exhausting.
Moreover, since she was not personally portraying those characters, she might not even truly grasp their inner feelings, which would only lead to twice the effort for half the result.
Lastly, Janna was never particularly enthusiastic about musical composition itself.
The reason she decided to attempt composing [Isabelle]’s solo pieces this time was not only to test the ability of her [Soul Listening] talent but also to enhance her understanding of the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty].
After all, so far, aside from the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty], Janna’s other three [Law Fragments] could theoretically all be strengthened through the cultivation of [Fallen Stars].
Only the relatively abstract [Fragment of the Law of Beauty], which was related to “humanity and art,” required her to engage in interaction with others to further its growth.
Therefore, the Nightingale Opera Troupe ultimately respected Janna’s wishes. Aside from the three solo songs for [Isabelle], the rest of the compositions were still handled by Master Quentin-Lycente, who had already been completely “won over” by Janna’s talent.
After completing all the listening sessions for the composed pieces, David-Berg led several main actors through a few less important scenes that required no singing or acting.
By the time the clock’s hands pointed to six in the evening, the actors who had completed their rehearsals for the day gradually clocked out and left the theater.
Among them was Janna, who had also finished all her tasks for the day.
"Welcome back, Miss Janna."
Just as Janna stepped out from the teleportation gate of the third-floor apprentice dormitory of the White Tower, she heard the Door Spirit’s greeting.
"Door Spirit, is there anything unusual today?"
"No, Miss Janna. Everything is as usual."
Upon hearing this, Janna nodded lightly. Just as she was about to push open her dormitory door, a sharp, high-pitched female voice suddenly called out beside her.
"Good evening, dear Miss Janna. Did you go to the library again today?"
"Good evening, Sheila. I didn’t go to the library today — I just went to work."
The speaker was Sheila, the Painting Spirit next door, who took the form of a peasant woman.
"You’re truly a diligent apprentice — unlike me, who hasn’t even stepped outside the door so far."
Hearing Sheila’s words, Janna couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
As the Painting Spirit had said, in all the months she had lived at the White Tower, Janna had never once seen her neighbor’s “true face.”
At first, she thought her neighbor might have gone out on a long mission and hadn’t yet returned. But after hearing what Sheila said today, she realized the other woman had, in fact, never even left her dormitory.
"I’ll be going in now."
As a well-mannered and sensible apprentice, Janna knew that prying into another wizard apprentice’s personal affairs was considered very impolite.
Therefore, after catching Sheila’s subtle remark, she didn’t pursue the topic any further. Instead, she simply greeted both Sheila and the Door Spirit before entering her room.
And the moment she stepped inside, Janna deliberately sent a message to the Door Spirit, reminding him to maintain confidentiality and not gossip about her affairs—

After that, Janna resumed her daily routine of gathering [Source Power]. During this period, she also took some time to check inside [Zoe Star].
Aside from examining the growth of the trees within [Zoe Star], Janna focused especially on observing the recovery of the [Law Consciousness Cluster].
As expected, under her cultivation during this time, the once-shattered [Law Consciousness Cluster] within [Zoe Star] had begun to generate four new [Law Consciousnesses] — [Earth], [Tides], [Purification], and [Growth].
Although still faint, they had entered a positive cycle of recovery.
Moreover, the previously depleted [Ocean Law Consciousness] within [Zoe Star] was now showing signs of revival as well.
That, more than anything, brought Janna a deep sense of relief and satisfaction—

In the following month, Janna returned once more to her orderly, busy life.
Aside from her wizard classes and cultivating [Zoe Star], she also had to devote three hours each evening to rehearsals with the Nightingale Opera Troupe.
Overall, although it was tiring, Janna greatly enjoyed this fulfilling rhythm of life—"
"Miss Janna, a young lady named Hela came to visit you earlier."
Just as Janna returned from the Nightingale Opera House to her dormitory at the White Tower, she heard the Door Spirit’s voice.
"Hela? Did she say anything?"
"Seeing that you weren’t here, she left without saying much."
Upon hearing that, Janna simply nodded without further comment, pushed open the door, and stepped into her room.
"Hm? This is—"
As soon as she entered, her eyes landed on a letter burning faintly within the fireplace — delivered by a Spark Sprite.
"As expected, it’s from Hela."
Although the envelope bore no signature, the thick aura of dark elemental energy was enough for Janna to recognize that the sender could only be Hela-Helheim, who possessed an A-level [Dark Affinity] talent.
"A new black hole appeared within the [Star Domain Zone]?"
Reading the short note, Janna’s brows furrowed slightly.
"According to Hela’s description, this black hole appeared in the [Leap Zone] of the [Star Domain Zone], which should have little to do with apprentices like me still in the [Crawling Zone]———"
Yet as she stared at the part describing the “black hole,” a faint, fiery glint flickered in Janna’s eyes——
