The school was particularly lively and buzzy—something great must have happened. Janet could hear students gossiping in their classes while walking along the corridor.
“I heard that the representatives of the Royal Academy of Music in Yobril are visiting Star High School to recruit talent.”
“That’s right. I even heard rumors that the talent who is being recruited this time will become the successor of the Royal Academy of Music.”
“That can’t be true. They are actually giving such an impressive offer?”
“It’s true. Emily Jackson from Class A of Twelfth Grade bragged earlier in the morning that she has met with the people from the Royal Academy of Music.”
“That’s impressive! Looks like she is quite talented in music.”
“Who knows if it’s genuine? Either way, I don’t have the ability.”
Upon hearing that, Janet’s red lips were slightly raised. Without saying anything, she went straight to Class F.
Meanwhile, Class A of Twelfth Grade was especially lively. A large crowd of students walked up to Emily and sucked up to her. “Emily, have you really met with the people from the Royal Academy of Music in Yobril?”
“That must be true. There isn’t a need for Emily to lie to us.”
“However, Emily, how did you get the chance to meet them?”
“Does this mean that you will become their successor after meeting them?”
Emily felt like she was on cloud nine as she listened to everyone’s discussion and praises. She enjoyed being the center of everyone’s attention. Although she was delighted, she still maintained a humble appearance on the surface. She nodded and deliberately took out the music score to read.
When Madelaine, who was beside her, saw it, she blinked at the crowd. “Look at Emily—she’s not only capable, but she’s also hardworking!” Although she was envious and even jealous of Emily, she believed that Emily would help her after succeeding in life since they had such a good relationship with each other. Maybe she could even get to know some people from the upper-class society through Emily.
Everyone became jealous of Emily the moment they saw her reading the music score.
“As expected, the more hardworking you are, the luckier you become.”
“That’s right. Let’s return to our studies since we don’t have any talent in music anyway.”
“I agree. I’m really envious of her, but I can’t even understand anything about the music score.”
Emily, who was on her seat, was delighted to listen to the compliments, thereafter a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
After a while, the school bell rang. Miss Lilian entered the class in excitement while whistling while a smile was visible on her face. Before she went to bed last night, she happened to receive a notification from the principal that representatives from the Royal Academy of Music in Yobril would be coming to Star High School today to search for a music talent. The most suitable candidate for the Royal Academy of Music would naturally be Emily from their class. If Emily was selected, it would bring honor to Miss Lilian, who was her teacher. Upon having such thoughts, her mood lifted.
Miss Lilian placed the book in her hands on the table as she calmly uttered, “I believed that all of you have heard that the representatives from the Royal Academy of Music in Yobril will be coming to our Star High School to select talents.” She then paused for a moment before her gaze landed on Emily. “Whether or not you will be chosen will entirely depend on your own capabilities.”
The students became excited when they heard her words.
“Miss Lilian, I heard that the representatives are French people. Therefore, do we need to speak French with them?”
Miss Lilian smiled. “Of course, you can. You can confidently show them your French-speaking skills that I have taught.”
“I would like to go and try as well, then. More importantly, I would like to get in touch with the people from the Royal Academy of Music in Yobril.”
“That’s right. That was what I was thinking too. After all, it would be good if we are coincidentally selected.”
As they were chatting among each other, students from Class A became more hyped up.
After the students attended two classes in the morning, all of the succeeding periods in the entire school were canceled. Although the students of the Twelfth Grade were in the midst of preparing for their college entrance exams, the principal had instructed for all of their classes to be canceled as well, which showed that the school took the music audition seriously.
At around 10.00 in the morning, a large crowd passed by the school’s main building. The crowd had consisted of a group of tall French men and a large cart that was full of musical instruments. The principal, vice principal, dean, and even all the class teachers went to welcome them.
