The next days kept going like usually, Sam would wake up go to the designing school to train in the morning and go home to train his singing voice in the afternoon, the second round was incoming soon and he could slack off.

Before the second round though there was still the catwalk, after lots of training and time spent with Rena to think about the design of her outfit it was finally the day.

Rena had one advantage that her classmate didn't have, her model helper her think about the outfit while all her classmates hadn't even met their models, all they had been given was a piece of paper with all their measurements on it.

The outfit they had put so much effort on was finalized the day before the catwalk, Rena was barely on time as she wanted it to look perfect.

The outfit was made of four pieces :

A black jacket similar to a Chinese tangzhuang reaching to Sam's knees that had an opening on the middle.

A very simple white shirt underneath the jacket.

A pair of light white pants reaching to his ankles.

And finally a pair of suede classic shoes.

(Author note : I'm talking about the kind of classic shoes your wear with a suit, i tried writing "suede classic shoes" on google and it doesn't look like what I'm describing and of course suede is the material.)

Everything was ready and already worn by a plastic mannequin in the class room, not only Rena's outfit but all her classmate's too were there, Rena's one didn't look the best there but it was definitely among the top three, she was a really talented girl.

The next day, all the models were sitting in an adjacent room to the meeting hall they had arranged to look like a catwalk platform with the spectators stands and stuff, in front of thepodium were sitting 3 women and a man, each one holding a list of every model and the person who did the clothes.

Other than them all the school's teachers, some students and a few random people came to spectate, the students designers were also sitting there so that they can see their creation being worn.

In the models room, Sam had his make up and hairstyle done by Rena, his hair was now silver grey and fell on his eyebrows in a kind of messy haircut, his make up was very light and except some eyeliner to make his eyes more attractive and a bit of lipstick the rest was almost invisible.

The rest of the models all knew each other as they came from the same agency, the only one that didn't was Sam so most of them looked at him, after awhile a guy stood up and walked in front of him, Sam raised his head from his phone and looked at the guy.

He wasn't that handsome but had an outlined jawline and a good height, often it was enough to become a model, of course you had to have that thing that made you unique

« Who are you ? »

He asked Sam without any hint of sympathy

« Hello ? You should learn civility. »

Of course Sam wouldn't be sympathetic to a guy that didn't respect him.

« This contest is for the student of my school to showcase our appearance and ability, this isn't a place for you, you better leave fast. »

When they heard him say that, another two guys stood up and came behind him, they were obviously looking for trouble.

« Or else what ? »

Sam also stood up, since he got the system he completely refused to be bullied again, even if the world champion of boxing came at him he would just buy enough boxing skill books to beat him at his own game.

The guy looked at his friends and all of them smiled, they obviously orchestrated the scene and Sam didn't miss the hints

'What are they planning to do ? It can't be anything over the top so I'll play along, maybe I can reverse it to my advantage.'

« Of course you should know how the contest is going to happen right ? The outfits and the models will have a separate grade, how about making a bet on the grades ? Of course you can't refuse or we'll throw you out. »

'Do they think that because there are three of them they can take me on ? Let's see what kind of bet he's talking about though.'

« Tell me. »

« Hahaha i'm happy you accepted my offer, very simple : I saw you driving that Yamaha bike when you came here, how about betting that ? »

« Have you ever heard of a one sided bet ? What is it you are betting ? »

'They were after his bike, of course it was a beautiful machine so it wasn't weird for someone to feel jealous.´

« Whatever you want of similar value. »

« That Porsche you were smoking on earlier was yours ? Let's bet that. »

« My Porsche is worth at least 20k€ on retail, think of something else. »

« My Yamaha is worth 15k€ on retail, isn't this what you call similar value ? »

Hearing that the guy seemed to hesitate then a guy from behind him said

« Yo Jimmy, you won't lose anyway we already know that this guy has only been training for one month. »

Hearing that the other guy finally lost his hesitation and replied

« Deal, the one who get the best grade got to keep both the bets stacks. »

'Hahah they did a background check ? No matter what you do you can't win against me, a background check would never let you know that I have the system that makes me unbeatable.´

Soon the guys left and sat back on their seats waiting for the beginning of the show, from Sam's seat he could see how excited they were, they didn't stop speaking or laughing even one second. Meanwhile everybody else in the room that heard the conversation were looking at Sam with pity, in their opinion this guy had just lost a very expensive bike, they also thought that if this guy could bet his bike so easily he must be very rich so they didn't pity him that much either.

A few amongst them had made the link between this guy and the one that was on the first episode of « la France a un incroyable talent » but didn't say anything, they didn't think it was important at the moment, the rest didn't recognize him for two reasons, first was that the episode was diffused two weeks earlier and the second reason was that Sam had make up on and a completely different haircut that made him more handsome than the guy on TV, after seeing himself with this new haircut he was even thinking of keeping it.

While everybody was busy with their own things Sam opened the shop, he didn't want to waste his EV's on catwalk skill books since he could learn it pretty easily and that he didn't have any way to have EV except wait for them to accumulate for now but now that his bike was on stack he bought both level one and level two books right away, he erased all the chances of losing and made it so that the chances of winning that Porsche car were at a hundred percent.
