"Lindsey De Lune."
A girl with light blonde hair slowly but elegantly walked to the front. Her brown dress slightly swaying due to her movements and her white heels making a clicking sound against the black marble floor. After bowing gracefully to the judges, she nodded to the proctor.
As if already knowing what she's about to do, a grand white piano was suddenly unveiled causing Serenity to raise her eyebrows in surprise.
Others also perked up. Having the reputation of the most talented and intelligent miss, many were anticipating what she will do and expected a lot from her. Serenity is also one of these people.
"I heard she could play the piano beautifully."
Serenity turned to look at the young man gossiping with an elder in front of her.
"Not only that, she could do two of the Four Arts perfectly." The elder whispered back.
"Well what do you expect. The Right Prime Minister doted on her a lot. She got the best tutors when she was a child."
The elder nodded, "Yes, I know that. But what about the first miss?"
"Her? I don't know much about her but rumors say that she is both dumb and ugly. Totally unlike her little sister."
"Really? But I heard..."
The elder wasn't able to finish his statement because Lindsey already started playing the piano. Serenity couldn't help but scrunch her nose in frustration. He is almost there! He is about to say something surprising that will contradict what the young man said!
Annoyed, Serenity tried to focus more on Lindsey's act. Although it's exaggerated to say that Lindsey is one of the best pianist she ever heard, she played the piano quite beautifully. But it sounded kinda dull... hollow to Serenity.
Although Serenity isn't fit to judge Lindsey's performance, being quite sharp she noticed how Lindsey only has great technique but lack emotions.
Five minutes was up and Lindsey stood up and bowed to the judges. The crowd all gave her a resounding clap and cheers. Serenity also clapped, she can't deny Lindsey's talent in playing the piano though.
"Crystal Divette."
A young woman with straight brown hair walked up to the front and requested a canvas and some paint. When nothing interesting is happening, Serenity's mind couldn't help but drift off.
Seeing its host doing nothing, the system couldn't help and ask its host a question.
[Host, which Four Arts are you going to showcase?]
Hmph! So now you're worried? Why don't you just loan me some points so that I could purchase a skill!
[You know I couldn't do that, host. The Admins have been against me loaning points because of what happened with my previous first host.]
Serenity snorted. What exactly happened?
[I was scammed by my first host.]
You're worthless.
[I'm not worthless, host.]
You couldn't even help me. You're worthless.
[. . . . .]
[As I was saying, I know that you could play the violin. I believe in you host.]
Yeah, I could play it when I was six. I haven't touched a violin in years!
