The Sound of a Piano

"What subject should I choose after all?" Niya looked at the cover of the course schedule in her hand with puzzlement.

Meanwhile, Yann was busy organizing the things he had brought from his original dormitory - a complete set of armor and some materials for body restoration.

"Don't choose too many subjects. As the vice dean mentioned, teachers will conduct exams irregularly. It could be the first class, the second class, or even the last class. If you choose too many different courses simultaneously, you may tragically encounter multiple exams. Each teacher's teaching methods and content are different, and so are the questions they give. This increases the difficulty. So, it's best to choose subjects with the same content. It's also preferable for the teachers to be concise. Otherwise, if more than one-third fail, they will be eliminated," Euénie spoke up.

After saying this, Euénie noticed Yann and Niya looking at her with shocked expressions.

"Is this still Euénie?" Yann trembled. "When did Euénie's intelligence reach such heights?"

"You're right... Euénie, are you not feeling well?" Niya's words were even more cutting than Yann's.

"Where did the Euénie who was like Euénie in the past go?" Yann said fiercely. "Tell me, are you some evil spirit attached to Euénie's body?"

"Why have I become such a pitiful figure of a noun!" Euénie took a deep breath. "Okay, stop fooling around. Quickly decide on which course to take. I don't want to stay in the academy all day."

After some playful banter, Niya opened the cover of the course schedule, and Yann was instantly thunderstruck when he saw the introduction on the first page.

Analysis of this year's employment trends: Admission opportunities for undead-related disciplines are high, with promising job prospects. However, due to traditional beliefs, the number of enrollments remains insufficient. Fire magic and business foreign languages ​​continue to be popular every year, and this year is no exception. In addition, this year sees the addition of new arcane-related majors. However, due to the recent development of arcane studies, they are not widely spread in this continent, which may lead to difficulties in employment. Other niche majors such as occultism and ancient studies still have unsatisfactory enrollments.

What is this? A university application guide from another world?

Below, there are also categories for dark warfare, divided into evil creature command, dark creature summoning, dark and evil creature research, and so on.

Deep in his heart, Yann leaned more towards the dark warfare category because all subjects in this category were his forte. In the Roland Continent, he claimed to be second only to himself in dark studies. No one dared to claim the first spot!

He just didn't know what Niya was thinking.

Turning a few more pages, there were categories such as Magic Arts,

Yann suddenly felt a tearful feeling. It turned out that the educational system in this other world was exactly the same as that of the previous century, with every student facing the dilemma of choosing majors and employment issues. Even students from the internal academy were no exception. It's just that they replaced the application form with a course schedule!

There were still categories such as Magic Arts, Magic Medicine, etc., with over a hundred sub-options under each category.

Yann took the course schedule from Niya's hand and opened the page on Demonology to take a look - "[Demonology and Devilology are purely academic research subjects. Due to the higher intelligence of devils, their culture is relatively prosperous, so Devilology is a better choice. However, if the reader intends to specialize in business, Devilology is an absolute niche. Choosing Business Devilology would be better. However, Demonology and Devilology can opt for applied subjects for future employment, and staying on campus for employment, entering research institutes, or even taking the exam for Mage Scholar is relatively easy. If you choose applied subjects, there will be fewer opportunities to continue developing in the academic field in the future.]"

"Niya, I sympathize with you!" Yann quickly returned the course schedule to Niya, then bowed deeply. "I have already graduated from school. I didn't expect you to still have to endure this kind of education."

After a heated debate, Niya chose [Dark Creature Summoning], [Dark and Evil Creature Research], [Undead Summoning], [Demonology], [Devilology], [Undead Studies], and [General Magic Studies]. Yann hoped even more that Niya would study all the dark subjects. With Yann's help, he believed Niya would definitely become a divine presence in her studies.

The faint sound of musical instruments still emanated from the palace, playing continuously all day long, and even until night, the sound of the piano continued.

Niya's dormitory was only a street away from the palace. Looking out from Niya's door, you could see the windows of the palace, and the sound of the piano in the palace continued to play, reaching Niya's dormitory.

From morning to night, the songs played changed countless times, but no matter which melody changed, they all had one common characteristic - Yann had never heard them before!

It would indeed be strange if someone from another world could hear the songs from their homeland. The sovereign-level lich from the previous life had extremely strong accomplishments in music, able to play thousands of wonderful melodies using two different ribs.

"This melody..." Suddenly, a familiar melody came from the palace.

The black and white keys of the piano were swiftly traversing from the beginning. After a few repeated notes, a series of rapid notes that seemed to be banging the keyboard with the head resounded!

If someone could see the hands on the piano now, they would find that they were so fast that they left afterimages! The afterimages continued one after another as the fingers danced.

Yann slowly walked to the door of the room where the piano sound came from, listening to the piano sound and finally determined that this familiar melody was none other than the famous composition from the Undead World by the vampire strongman, Flanadura Scarlett, "[The Ultimate Ghastly Sister]".

Yann dared not use his divine sense to explore it recklessly. There were too many experts in the Inner Academy. He was afraid that his exploration would be sensed by others, and it would end badly.

"Who? Who's listening to me play the piano?" The piano sound suddenly stopped, and a lazy female voice came from the room.

"Your footsteps are too loud. The reverberation of the piano has already told me. You've been hiding behind the door for so long, you should be able to reveal yourself now, right?"

Is she a bat? She can actually detect through the rebound of sound waves.
