Chapter 1312
Professor Bachtobel proudly shouted, “Well done! That was a truly dazzling performance—one I won’t have again in my lifetime.”
The words sounded unusually gentle and unexpected, given that he was notorious for being a cello master who never held back harsh criticism toward his students.
“Thank you for your hard work, Professor,” Super Ribbon said.
“Haha. Hard work? It felt like I returned to my passionate youth, quite refreshing. While you’re talented, lass, the Saint of Tionis and that person, Mute, were truly astonishing. What a final performance. I didn't ever get that feeling during practice.”
'Yes, you’re not wrong, Professor. Astonishing indeed... I can't believe she deceived my father like that.'
Davey hadn’t been the only one who noticed the emotion woven into Mute's performance. Super Ribbon had also felt a powerful premonition that Mute, her beloved teacher, would disappear after the performance.
Mute had a level of mastery that went beyond simply imbuing emotion into her performance. She could even communicate through it. It was a method of resonating with the soul, not just a matter of infusing mana. It made the experience of hearing the same music completely different depending on the performer.
Even Davey himself had no way of knowing the particulars of how she accomplished such a feat.
“My apologies, I've kept you too long,” Professor Bachtobel chuckled. “You must be tired, so go get some good rest. I'll head back to my room first.”
“Father said he's going to open a warp portal for each of us to go back home,” she informed him.
“Haha, well, all I'd return to is an empty house, so why rush back? Besides, can't you tell from everyone being holed up in their rooms? That final performance gave us some kind of new spark in our hearts. Everyone probably threw everything aside and shut themselves away to figure out what that spark really was.”
Unfortunately, Super Ribbon had a hard time understanding what Professor Bachtobel was trying to say.
