New York, Juilliard College on York Avenue on the Upper East Side, is a private aristocratic school. Not only is the campus facilities beautiful and luxurious environment, but the areas around the school feel like they are close to the park.
Although the nearby Carl Schurz Park has less green space than Central Park, it has a unique space for children to play. The school has a long history. It not only teaches full-time courses, but also cleverly and dynamically integrates modern science and technology into the classroom atmosphere. It also cooperates with local cultural organizations to carry out many artistic and creative extracurricular activities, so its teaching resources are unprecedentedly excellent.
Of course, the high admission sponsorship fee excludes most children from ordinary income! Children who can come here to school are usually either rich or noble, so don’t think too much about others.
Now, this school is exactly what Anne is about to enroll, and she is now a transfer student. In order to forge a full set of identity certificates for Anne, an archive team of SHIELD worked overnight and finally forged all her birth certificates, parents' details, admission records, medical records, insurance records, etc.!
The professional archives team of SHIELD took action, and Anne's information was not flawed. All the information, whether paper or electronic information, was archived in the federal government's central database! Even if the paper archives were worn out, no one could find any clues. For SHIELD, which is in power, it is simply too simple to complete a set of identity information for a little girl.
Although it is not the admission season now, and schools usually no longer accept freshmen, under the power of SHIELD, the school dares to say that it is a no-word? No matter how inconvenient or the procedures are not in compliance with the norm, they can only grit their teeth and find ways to get an quota for Anne.
"Good morning, classmates! Today I will introduce a new classmate to you, and everyone will applaud and welcome you!"
Sari Carter, a female teacher in charge of teaching English (ELA), took Annie's hand and walked into the classroom, introduced her to the fourteen students in the classroom, and signaled Annie to walk to the podium to introduce herself to everyone.
In order to improve the quality of teaching, Juilliard Academy generally has no more than twenty students in each class, or even fewer! There are fourteen students in this class now, and if Anne is added, it will be exactly fifteen.
Anne held two books in her arms, changed into a magic dress in the style of Little Red Riding Hood, put on a Juilliard Academy school uniform, and had a schoolbag behind her back, but there was no book in her schoolbag, just her little bear, Tibers.
In fact, at the beginning, given the powerful deterrence of the bear Tibers, this extremely dangerous pet toy, Colson and Melinda unanimously opposed Anne taking it to school.
But then Anne said that if Tibers was too far away from her, it would likely break the contract and turn back to the Shadow Bear posture of the Fire Bear, which would be too dangerous!
So, after thinking about it, Colson and Melinda agreed to Anne's idea of ​​taking Tibers to school, but asked her to put Tibers in her schoolbag and never take it out casually!
If Tibers could speak, it was actually trying to refute it! Anne's words could only deceive the indigenous people on Earth who did not understand magic! Is the soul contract so easy to break free?
Look at the warlocks who enslaved demons! It’s not as easy as summoning those contract demons across countless planes as calling a dog? Do you see those demons dare to break free from the contract? The contract between Tibers and Anne is much stronger than the contract between those who enslaved demons!
......
He was led by the teacher to stand on the podium. Looking at the dozen or so pairs below who were slightly curious and staring at her eyes, Annie was a little happy. Is this the school? It seems to be very fun!
"Hello everyone! My name is Anne, Anne Hasta! I'm very happy to meet everyone." Maybe this will be a pleasant day, Anne thought so.
......
Anne was very honest in the morning class. She didn't do anything unnecessary before she became familiar with this place! She was still observing, observing this novel school of human beings on earth! It turned out that they really didn't teach magic, they taught everything simple and strange.
In the afternoon, the school music classroom was called a classroom, but it was actually a small theater with a stage and an audience. At this time, a teacher was playing a song on the piano on the stage, and Anne and a group of classmates sat in a row in the audience below.
This is the last music class before school. The person who teaches music is John Philippe, a male teacher with long hair. It is said that she is a very famous Hollywood music producer. Next to Anne, a fat classmate admires him and says he is so good and amazing. However, Anne said that she does not know this old man at all!
"Ahhh~! I seem to have found a new face! Let me take a look at the list first, very good, classmate Anne, right?" After John Philippe finished playing a song, he picked up the roster and easily found the new name, which was Anne.
"Yes, teacher! I'm very happy to see you." Annie stood up and saluted slightly.
"Oh! OK, I'm glad to see you, Anne. But..." John Philippe closed the roster and thought for a while, "According to our rules, newcomers must play a new song for their classmates!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a chubby student immediately raised his hand. His name is Jack Harper, the son of an entrepreneur. He is the fat man who admires music teachers. His hobby is to eat, so he is very fat. Of course, it may also be because of the wrong talent and the wrong amount, and all of them are added to the fat, so his mind is not very good. He usually looks very straightforward, honest, and despised!
"Teacher, we don't seem to have this rule." Jack Harper stood up and said after raising his hand and gaining the teacher's consent.
"Then now it's there! Okay, please sit down." The teacher asked him to sit down impatiently and looked at Annie.
"Student Anne? What kind of instrument do you play? Piano? Or violin?"
Annie bit her finger and thought about it. She could play herself, but she could play the piano? Violin? She didn't know her! But she could play the moon zither. Her mother once taught her some tips!
"I can play that moon piano!" Annie pointed to the instrument storage room on the right side of the stage, where there were various instruments stored, one large and one small, where were the exquisite harp. The big ones were obviously used by adults, probably for teachers, and the smaller ones were just right for elementary school students with small arms and legs.
"Wow! It's really amazing. I don't even know how to teach this thing! This is actually called harp, Annie, not Yueqin. Are you sure you can?"
John Philip immediately felt that the new girl had an extraordinary identity! Because the harp is a relatively rare instrument, a large string instrument. It is one of the oldest string plucking instruments in the world and originated in ancient Persia.
The modern harp was designed by French piano maker S. Elal in 1810. It has forty-seven strings of different lengths, and seven pedals can change the sound of the strings and play all tones. The harp has a delicate appearance, graceful, artistic temperament, elegant, pure and crystal clear as pearls and jade, and has a clear tone as morning dew.
Of course, there is also the most important point of the harp: expensive! Very expensive! Especially a harp from a famous artist is definitely not something that ordinary people can expect! If Juilliard Academy is not a noble private school, I am afraid that it will not be able to afford these two excellent harp, right?
John Filey walked over, pretended to play on the big harp twice, and then stopped awkwardly, not daring to continue, so as not to be embarrassed.
"Okay! Annie, you can come up and perform." He moved the trumpet harp to the front of the stage, lowered a small square stool, and then signaled that Annie could perform on stage.
"Then, I'll play a small song for you, called: The Embrace of the Moon Goddess."
Annie jumped onto the stage, stood in front of Wu Qin, and gracefully performed a princess ceremony from the Valoran Mainland to her classmates and teachers. Then she sat on a small square stool, plucked the strings and tried it out for a while, and stepped on the pedal, getting used to this harp that was slightly different from the Valoran Yue Qin. Then she stopped her little hands and took a deep breath.
Teacher John Filet and his classmates immediately calmed down because they knew that Anne was about to start a formal performance. They had never heard of this kind of instrumental performance, and everyone's face was filled with curiosity or expectation.
Anne was just about to start playing, but her sly eyes turned around and suddenly recalled a little trick that her mother taught her, and the corners of her mouth curled up, as if it were a little fox who had stolen grapes.
A trace of magic power surged towards the fingertips. As the fingers plucked the strings, an invisible ripples of magic power fluctuated with the sound waves...
One, two, and three, with the graceful sound of the piano, it seemed as if a ray of soft moonlight passed through the window and sprinkled on Anne on the stage. The moonlight flew out from the harp one by one like the moon elves jumping on the strings. They were sometimes light and flowing, sometimes passionately leaping, sometimes like songs and tears, sometimes with regret and thrilling.
The audience in the classroom felt that they had disappeared in the world and devoted themselves to the boundless universe. Everything around them disappeared, only the white and vast moon in front of them! And the notes floating in their ears...
The song, which was less than five minutes short, ended! The audience was still sitting blankly, with their eyes dissipated, as if they were still staring into the void.
Music teacher John Fellie first reacted, looked at Anne with shock, and shouted in dismay: "Oh my God, what did I just hear? I just hugged the moon!"
That's right! He had just been immersed in the sound of the piano and floated with the notes. When he finally reached the end of the piano music, he actually hugged the moon in the void!
"Genius-like performance, oh! No! Anne, you must be an angel sent by God! I was lucky enough to hear the sound of heaven! I will definitely give you A+ in this course!"
"Wow! Wow~!" The young listeners also reacted at this time, but a blond girl suddenly burst into tears. Teacher John hurried over and comforted her.
"What's wrong? Angelina?"
"Wow~! I, I saw my mother... Woooo!" It turned out that the little girl cried happily. John remembered that in the student information, the little girl was named Angelina Roberts. She came from a single-parent family. Her father was the president of a company. Her mother was said to have cancer and died of illness two years ago.
Anne embarrassedly raised her tongue and made a face and jumped off the stage. She wouldn't tell them that she didn't play very well, but secretly used magic to carry a charming trick in the sound of the piano. This magic will guide people to immerse themselves in the music, and sometimes it will induce the strongest memories in the hearts of some people, or let them see the relatives they miss the most.
(Master, is it really good for you to do this? It is not appropriate to use magic that charms people's hearts on piano music? If I remember correctly, it seems that Valoran's performance convention is explicitly prohibited! I think you should really learn how to play the piano seriously. Even if you can't play as good as the one named Sona, you can't play it too bad, right? Just now, your performance, to be honest, if the charm effect of magic is eliminated, it is really bad! I missed several syllables and played several wrong places, and the rhythm seemed to be not right...)
"Shut up! Tibers, you know so much!"
After walking off the stage and sitting back to her position, Annie punched her schoolbag twice! She dared to say that she was playing poorly? She decided to double the time to go back tonight to take a shower. Recently, the bear seems to be too dirty and needs to be put in the water and soaked it well!
.....
Colson and Melinda had a very comfortable day. After they sent Annie to school in the morning, they drank coffee in a cafe next to the school and chatted about life until they saw Annie walking out of the school gate after school.
Anne took a lot of risks when she went to school this time. Although they had repeatedly reminded Anne not to use magic in school and not to let bears casually! Anne also made a guarantee, but there were still worries! She was afraid that Anne would start to burn some unlucky guy to ashes, and the matter would not end easily.
Now it seems that everything is fine, and Anne is still respecting the agreed rules, which makes Colson and Melinda secretly breathe a sigh of relief!
"Anne, how are you doing today?"
Colson drove the car to Anne and stopped and opened the car door. Originally, there was a school bus picking up and dropping off at Juilliard Academy, but Anne lived on the seaside outside the suburbs and was not within the pick-up area of ​​this school bus block, so she had to drive it by herself.
"It's great! I took a few classes today. Although I was a little bored, I also played a song in the afternoon. Then the teacher said that I could get an A+ in my music class!" Annie got into the back seat and took the car door, took out Teebos from her schoolbag, and smiled proudly at the two in the front row.
Chapter completed!
