I don't want to be an elf!

Based on this situation, she initially speculated that Miku Izayoi should have an ability similar to hypnotizing others.

In fact, this is not a matter of disruptive attempts.

Each generation of Star Pulse possesses its own unique abilities, allowing them to manipulate the stellar energy within their bodies to accomplish many unimaginable feats.

Some can predict the future, some can move objects, some can heal injuries...

There are also people who can manipulate other people's thoughts.

It seems that Miku Izayoi is one of them.

“I’m sorry to refuse,” Pedra said with a smile. “Students of Quinv’s Academy are not commodities that can be traded, but if you are willing to join the academy, I would be happy to introduce you to some children who are qualified to team up with you.”

"Ok?"

Seeing that she did not agree, Izayoi Miku looked somewhat surprised.

After examining her closely for a while, she asked, "Strange, you seem to be able to resist my request, but I don't sense any stellar power within you. Why are you able to resist my abilities as an ordinary person?"

“Something happened before, where members of the conglomerate’s decision-making team were brainwashed by someone with the same abilities as you, resulting in extremely serious consequences.” Pedra bluntly revealed this previously sealed secret. “After that, we invented a mind-blocking technology, and all members of the conglomerate’s decision-making team underwent surgery to prevent our minds from being manipulated again.”

"Humph......"

Miku Izayoi narrowed her eyes, her thoughts unreadable.

However, it was a fact that her brainwashing ability was ineffective and she could not control Pedra, which made her lose interest.

"Then you should go back." She waved her hand dismissively. "We have nothing more to talk about."

"You're really impatient. Let me finish what I have to say first."

Perdora remained seated on the sofa, completely unperturbed, showing no intention of leaving.

Having served as the chairperson of the board of directors at the Quincy Children's Academy for over ten years, she has encountered far too many spoiled, domineering, unreasonable, and arrogant students.

Because she has some capital, she thinks she's a princess that the whole world has to give way to.

Pedra wouldn't even look at someone like that.

However, Miku Izayoi does indeed have the real right to consider herself a princess.

After all, he is a rare talent; it would be strange if he didn't have a bit of pride.

“I’ll get straight to the point. The reason I’ve come to you this time is to invite you to become a member of the Quinvion Girls’ Academy.” Pedra’s tone became serious. “This is the place you should be. You have countless like-minded partners. If you’re willing to team up with them and debut, you’ll definitely become famous all over the world.”

"partner?"

Upon hearing this word, Miku Izayoi's lips curled up in a mocking smile, seemingly showing utter disdain for such a term.

"I can become famous all over the world whenever I want, without needing any partners."

Her words were firm and left no room for negotiation; she crossed her arms and looked down at people with an air of superiority.

"Only an inexperienced fool would place his hopes on so-called partners. Don't bring up such childish talk in front of me."

Chapter Eighteen: The Twisted Nature

Pedro raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at Miku Izayoi with a disdainful expression.

It wasn't just a disdain for universal values ​​like "partners," but perhaps it was just her imagination, she also seemed to vaguely detect a hint of disgust.

If it's just simple disdain, then it's easy to understand.

In just a few words, she realized that the girl in front of her was an extremely proud person.

With such looks, abilities, and talent, it would be abnormal not to be proud.

But, disgust?

Why is this again?

Pedra narrowed her eyes. Her years of experience dealing with all sorts of people made her keenly aware that this was very likely related to Miku Izayoi's past.

"Is it because...you were betrayed by someone you considered a partner?"

Pedra's thoughts wandered as she considered the most plausible possibilities.

She felt like she had grasped something important.

Generally speaking, she always investigates the other party thoroughly and makes preparations before engaging in any kind of negotiation with them.

However, when investigating Miku Izayoi's background, she couldn't find any useful information no matter what channels she used.

However, such a living person cannot simply appear out of thin air in this world.

There is only one reason.

Someone deleted all of her past.

Given her recent ability to manipulate others, it's highly likely that the person who deleted her past was Miku Izayoi herself.

“Because she was betrayed by someone close to her, she harbored resentment towards her companions, and even her personality became extreme.” Pedra meticulously connected the clues. “In order to cover up that unbearable past, she used the convenience of her abilities to erase all traces she left behind.”

She felt she had come to the truth.

If my speculation is true, then even the name [Yōyō Miku] might not be her real name.

However, the name doesn't really matter.

Since Miku Izayoi has stepped forward with a new identity and appearance, it means that she has decided to start a new life.

And Pedrora is fully capable of helping her get what she wants in her new life, thus achieving a win-win situation.

Pedro coughed twice, preparing to change the subject.

Accidentally stepping on the other party's landmine is not a good thing for the subsequent negotiations.

The two didn't spend much time together, and their conversation consisted of only a few words.

However, she was quite skilled at judging people; she could discern a person's character from their expression, tone of voice, and actions.

Therefore, she was certain that if she touched on Miku Izayoi's sensitive spots again, then today's negotiations would probably not be able to continue.

"It's okay if you don't want to debut in a group with others; that's not the only condition I can offer."

She adopted a tone of openness, saying generously, "Top-tier public relations organizations, abundant idol resources, world-class channels—as long as you're willing to join the Queenie Girls' Academy, these are all negotiable conditions."

"Hehe, instead of these boring things, why don't you just use the students of Quenwei Children's Academy as a condition? That way, I might still be able to agree."

Miku Izayoi yawned and said indifferently, "But if this is all you can offer, then please leave."

When Pedro saw that Miku Izayoi rejected him without hesitation, he started to panic.

If Miku Izayoi was trying to feign disinterest as a strategic retreat in order to create an advantage for future negotiations, then that would be understandable.

But what she showed was an attitude that left no room for negotiation.

This made her anxious, but also somewhat puzzled.

Since she has stepped onto the stage to become an idol, it means that Izayoi Miku must also want to become an idol.

She laid out all the necessary conditions for becoming an idol on the table, as if offering them up for anyone to choose from, but this guy only glanced at it before preparing to overturn the table.

Past experience seemed to be useless when facing this girl.

"Are you really not going to reconsider?" Pedra asked persistently. "This is the dream of every girl who wants to become an idol. With Quinvion Girls' Academy as your backing, and with our support, you will be loved by even more fans!"

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Seeing that Pedra was still rambling on, Miku Izayoi sighed softly: "I want to become an idol, not to gain the love and adoration of fans."

"No? Then what is it for?"

"To please my fans."

Her tone was matter-of-fact.

It's as if it's stating some common sense, a truth that everyone should know.

If an idol says this, whether they are a third-rate or top-tier celebrity, once this becomes known to others, they will definitely face being blacklisted.

However, when it came out of Miku Izayoi's mouth, it sounded so natural, without the slightest hesitation or doubt.

As if it should be so.

It was at this moment that Pedra finally saw the true nature of the girl in front of him.

This has nothing to do with arrogance anymore.

How extreme and twisted must a person be to say such outrageous things about an idol without a second thought?

No matter how dazzling an idol may be on stage, their profession is ultimately one of serving their fans.

However, Miku Izayoi doesn't think so at all.

Not only do they not think they should serve their fans, but they also think that their fans should serve them.

I must correct this distorted view!

Pedra silently made a vow in her heart.

This is a rare idol talent, one in a million. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you'll encounter another one like this.

Although the roots are a bit crooked... a lot crooked, she believes that with over fifteen years of experience in the industry, she can definitely bring her back on the right track.

Even if we can't win her back, we should at least make sure she doesn't reveal her true nature in public.

"I'm very satisfied with my current life, surrounded by girls, and I have no plans to change it."

Miku Izayoi stood up, as if to see the guest off: "I have no intention of running around the world like Sylvia, sacrificing a luxurious life just to serve fans in other countries. That would be too foolish. I just want to become the most famous songstress in this city, and have the girls of this city cheer for me. That's enough."

“Then you’ll be disappointed.” Pedra shook her head. “Sylvia is not only the world’s number one songstress, but also the number one songstress of the Hexagram. Behind her stands the entire Quinvian Academy. If you don’t join us, you have no chance.”

"you are wrong."

"Izayoi Miku said calmly."

"If we can win this year's Phoenix Star Dance Festival, it will be a piece of cake for us to replace her as the number one songstress of the Hexagram."

Chapter Nineteen: Conditions for Joining Quinnway Children's Academy

Win the Phoenix Star Dance Festival?

Pedra gave the girl in front of him a deep look, wondering if she really had that kind of strength, or if she was just naive and ignorant.
