Chapter 118

"Today, I've thanked so many people, but there's one person I must specifically thank, and that's my college roommate. Due to his request, I can't reveal his name, but I want to say that he's the person I admire most in my life.

"You may not believe it, but he's truly talented in music, perhaps even more so than I am. Yet, he's willing to stay in the background. Throughout this journey, he has been silently supporting me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here today.

"In my eyes, he's the true, groundbreaking genius! Although he's not here with us, I still want to express my deepest gratitude to him!"

As Luca spoke these words, his eyes glistened with tears of gratitude. No one knew better than Luca how important Jack was to him.

Without Jack's support and guidance, Luca would never have made it this far. He had always been grateful for Jack's talent and efforts, and he kept that gratitude deep within his heart.

While the audience might have seen it as just polite words, the roommates watching on TV were completely stirred.

Apart from Luca, Joshua, Samuel, Isaac, Ronnie, and Jack were also thrust into the spotlight. Everyone started speculating who could be the person Luca was thanking.

Whenever Luca consulted Jack over the phone, Jack always made the calls in private, keeping everything so secretive that the other four roommates had no clue. They all guessed, but couldn't find any answers.

At first, everyone assumed it was Jack, but when he denied it with a confused look, they stopped pressing further.

After fruitless questioning, the classmates were left disappointed.

Who was this incredibly talented person who had helped Luca? It remained an unsolved mystery until Luca returned.

All good things must come to an end, and so the glamorous event eventually concluded.

Feena, who had placed eighth in the finals, rode back to the hotel with Luca. Both were contestants from Alnewgo, and now that the final competition had ended, they planned to head back to Alnewgo the next day.

At that moment, the night sky in the city sparkled with stars, and the weather was exceptionally clear.

Luca and Feena were in high spirits, just like the clear sky above them.

Luca went to great lengths to avoid the reporters and fans waiting outside, hastily escaping back to the bus, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

On the bus, Feena's mentor, Donald, and the Dean of the Music College, Zoe, began giving Luca detailed advice.

Given that Luca had made history by winning the Youth Vocal Showcase and was now gaining widespread attention online, they treated him with much more respect.

They likely foresaw that one day, Luca's future would outshine theirs in the music industry.

Once the bus started moving, the two mentors leaned back in their seats and fell asleep.

At this time, Feena took the initiative to sit next to Luca, first congratulating him, then curiously asking, "Luca, what you said on stage, about thanking your roommate, was that all true?"

Luca nodded and replied, "Of course it's true. I even wanted to introduce him to you! But unfortunately, I missed the chance."

"Oh!"

Feena looked at Luca in confusion, noticing that his expression was incredibly serious. And when he spoke about this roommate, there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Feena, still curious, asked, "So... Can you tell me what kind of person he is? I'm really curious. Someone who can make you praise him like this must have extraordinary talent, right?"

Luca nodded seriously. "To me, he's the real genius!"

Luca would never forget how Jack had guided him with such care and personally taught him during the Calisota regional finals.

With a sense of emotion, Luca said, "He's not only incredibly talented, but also someone who is both my mentor and my friend. Without his help, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."

Feena was deeply shocked after hearing this. Knowing Luca's own remarkable talent, she became even more intrigued by this mysterious person.

It seemed Alnewgo University really was a place full of hidden talent-who could this person be, who even the music prince willingly bowed to in admiration? The source of thɪs content is find~novel~net

But when she saw that Luca had closed his eyes to rest, she decided not to press him further. Still, her thoughts wandered quietly, drifting off into contemplation.
