Chapter 116

Whenever Luca had a competition, the nearby students would gather to cheer him on. Luca had become the pride of the entire dorm, the School of Finance, and even Alnewgo University.

The competition started promptly at eight in the evening, and students from nearby dorms, including the ladies, eagerly crowded into the shared dorm room to watch the live stream.

Miranda, Jenna, Anya, and Jessica were also there to cheer for Luca. Meanwhile, the absence of Amelia and Queenie made the relationship between Joshua and Queenie seem even more complicated.

As the clock struck eight, the highly anticipated finals officially began.

Since the event was being broadcast nationwide and had an incredibly high viewership, the most influential host was specially invited-someone who had hosted many gala events, showing just how high the standards for this competition were.

The competition was intense, gripping the audience's attention.

The eight contestants went through fierce battles in the preliminary rounds, cutting the number of participants by half in each round. Finally, only two reached the ultimate showdown.

Although Feena regrettably stopped at the semifinals, she accepted it with grace, believing that just making it to the finals was a huge honor.

Luca, thanks to his strong abilities and Jack's behind-the-scenes support, advanced through every round.

After more than an hour of suspenseful build-up, the long-awaited finals finally arrived. Content originally comes from FіndNovel.net

This was a battle of talent and connections. The showdown between Luca and Nathaniel attracted countless eyes. In this highly scrutinized environment, both contestants faced immense pressure.

As the final round began, the two talented artists stepped onto the stage. Luca performed the song, "Green Shade", that Jack had carefully revised for him.

The song was full of campus charm, stirring emotions and resonating with everyone.

Whether they were current students or those who had once experienced youthful days, the song deeply moved everyone, evoking countless fond memories of youth.

At that moment, Luca's performance on stage reached its peak, comparable to the top three songs in the Billboard Hot 100 recently.

When Luca finished his performance, the entire hall erupted into enthusiastic applause. The audience cheered, giving a thumbs-up in admiration for the touching song. The judges were also deeply moved by the song, offering high praise.

This song was undoubtedly one of the highest-quality works of the competition so far. Only in such a prestigious event, with a performer as talented as Luca, could such a song be created.

Viewers both on television and online flooded the comment sections with praise.

"This song is so beautiful! It reminds me of my youthful years."

"It's really amazing! It takes me back to my old lover."

"I'm in tears! It's so touching!"

"This song is so good-if Luca doesn't win, then this is rigged!"

However, when Nathaniel performed as the final contestant, he appeared extremely nervous and nearly stumbled. The song he had carefully prepared suffered due to his nerves, and his pitch was off, with the high notes particularly out of tune.

The audience was disappointed with Nathaniel's performance and flooded the comment section with disapproval.

"How did he make it to the finals with this level of performance? There must be something fishy going on!"

"If Luca doesn't win, it's an insult to the entire nation!"

"We hope to see fairness and justice this time!"

In reality, Nathaniel did have certain connections, which was one reason the judges always gave him high scores.

But his performance this time was so poor that even the judges themselves felt embarrassed to award him high scores. If they did, it would be an insult to everyone watching the show.
