Chapter 117 - Ch. 117 That Is Not Nick!

Nick had deliberately let Arnold sing the song first, and he didn't move to take over and let his senior sang until the end. As a result, Arnold got the first four points ahead of him. Nick realized Arnold's solo singing was so boring that the crowd's cheers diminished as time went on.

Alas, the arrogant senior couldn't realize this, and that was his big mistake.

Arnold Miller gave him a mocking smile and thought Nick had decided to give up. Seeing Nick doing nothing makes Letti and the others feel anxious.

Declan also seemed to dislike Nick's attitude, who appeared to belittle this duel. If only his sister's dignity weren't at stake, Declan would never have cared about the contest of two childish students.

Declan decided to call his assistant to get in touch with the Millers. He wanted to see if the boy still dared to kiss his sister when he heard from Mr. Miller.

"What's Nick doing? Why didn't he take over?"

"How should I know?"

"Jake, aren't you close to Nick. Do you know what he is up to?"

Jacob shook his head without turning his gaze at Nick. Even though he was Nick's closest friend and almost inseparable, Jacob still couldn't understand the young man's thinking.

When Jacob realized Nick was playing with him just because he knew how Jacob feels for Roe, Jacob was angry and decided to keep his distance from the young man.

But Jacob decided to make peace when Nick tried to get close to him. He even tried to trust him again and express his heart. Jacob had told Nick that he didn't expect Roe to come. Nick should have known that he didn't want to see Roe again.

He did say that he wouldn't stop the girl from coming to see this music battle, but that didn't mean he still wanted to meet her.

But Nick… that guy took the girl backstage as if it was the most natural thing to do to make Jacob feel mad at Nick. That's why when he found out that Nick had considered Roe as his second sister, Jacob said those hurtful words to the poor clueless girl.

Jacob directly went after Roe as soon as he realized his mistake, and he didn't care whether Nick got mad at him after this or not. He was guilty of Kaylee and owed Kaylee an apology, but he owed Nick nothing.

But one thing that he couldn't understand from his friend's attitude. Why is Nick being relaxed and chillax as if there is no tension between them? Even when the young man found out that Arnold had done the dirty way by destroying his guitar, the young man could think of a way to strike back.

There was something different about Nick, but Jacob didn't know what was different. Is it his appearance? No. Nick's appearance was still the same as usual.

Then what's different?

"Hey, the prodigy boy. Aren't you afraid you will have to face your friends? This time I'm going to sing a five-minute song, and this time you will lose before you know it." Provoked Arnold with a mocking tone made Nick snort in amusement.

Nick raised a hand as if inviting Arnold to continue his song. This time, his two hands moved to a position in their respective places.

His left hand was on the fingerboard while his right hand held the yellow marble-like motive pick in the pickup area.

Arnold started singing the second song, and Nick still didn't intend to cut Arnold's music and let the arrogant senior got an extra three.

Nick glanced at the mediator, who was looking closely at the timer. As soon as the mediator was about to give Arnold a ninth score, Nick cut Arnold's song by playing very ear-catching chords and making the senior dumbfounded.

His fierce entrance chord, as well as his heavy yet authoritative voice, made the listeners hold their breath for a moment. His long fingers danced on the fingerboard as if he was typing something on a laptop. His right hand moved up and down while holding the pick looked so relaxed and graceful but produced a fantastic rhythm.

Everyone who witnessed the changing atmosphere around Nicholas Larson and heard the enchanting voice was able to captivate the hearts of women. They were stunned before giving out cheers that were far more festive than when they cheered Arnold.

Even Declan, who was previously pessimistic about this unreasonable duel, was fixated on where he stands. He had no idea that Nicholas Larson had a gifted hand!

The whole campus was surprised and gasped in awe, except for Kaylee. She already knew what kind of abilities Nick had. The young man could not read musical notes, or maybe he would become a laughing stock when playing the piano.

But no one would ever laugh at him once Nick held a guitar.

Back on the stage, Arnold quickly recovered from his shock and immediately concentrated on thinking about a song to take over this duel. But the next second, Nick did a guitar demo, so the young man didn't sing for a while.

Arnold was forced to wait for Nick to say the lyrics so he could cut Nick's song. But after waiting for almost three minutes, Nick still didn't open his mouth to sing.

"Hey, it's not fair. This is not a guitar-playing match!" protested Arnold to the mediator who assessed this duel.

"It's fair as long as the audience enjoyed it." was the firm response from the mediator.

Usually, people who just demonstrate their guitar playing won't last long, and the audience would get bored in no time. But Nick… the young man had played his guitar and walked here and there while throwing flirtatious winks at the female audience for more than two minutes, and the crowd's cheers did not diminish.

When Nick walked back to where his standing mic was, Arnold prepared to cut Nick's song and take over.

Nick changed his playing style but still into the same rhythm as before and opened his mouth.

But…

Why is Nick singing in Japanese instead?! Since when that guy spoke Japanese?

No one felt suspicious about Nick's identity, but one.

'That is not Nick!'
