Chapter 143

* * *"Looks like we got a winner here.”“Right?”“Wow. A comedy. And it doesn’t suck, either. It’s been a while since I’ve seen that.”The judges nodded in unison. The prelims would continue until the next week, but they would be hard-pressed to find any teams better than Woosung High.“So it’s Myunghwa High and Woosung High, then?”“Myunghwa High didn’t even go yet, though.”“The kids from that school are very good, remember? I went there last time since I had business at the school, and wow… Their practice room is better than most theaters in Hyehwa station, they even have their own dressing room. The school’s going all out with them.”“Makes sense. They’re famous for their acting club, after all.”“The prelims should be nothing for them.”Everyone nodded yet again.“But disregarding that for a second, Woosung High really prepared a lot for this.”“Yeah. I heard one of their graduates is their instructor?”“Miss Yang Miso.”“Ahh, I know her. She’s very popular at such a young age. She used to be a powerhouse in the Blue Sky theater. So she decided to become an instructor, huh?”“She probably had a change of mind. It does feel nice seeing a school that used to be famous start to climb back up like this.”“Haha, don’t try to score them too well though because of it.”The judges finished their conversation with a smile. At the same time, the play ended. The young club members started to come out one by one for a curtain call.“That one was really good,” one of the judges said, pointing at a tall boy in the group.Everyone else nodded in agreement.“And him… we’ll have to watch him, but he does have great potential. It’ll be fun to watch him.”The odd character that started talking to the audience out of nowhere. It was a character that could’ve gotten completely ruined, but the boy handled it very well. The judges were able to have a nice time watching the play thanks to it.“Really? I don’t know. It just felt like I was watching a kid who was unable to control himself.”“It does kind of feel like that too. He’s like a diamond in the rough? He’s good to watch, though, since the tall boy supports the rest of the play so well.”“That’s true.”By then, the club members finished their curtain call. The judges put down their pens and clapped with the rest of the audience.
