The relationship between Jack and Amelia grew closer. Besides their library visits, they dined, attended classes, and went on outings together.
Although neither had explicitly professed their love for each other, their actions and gestures made their feelings for each other abundantly clear. To outsiders, they already seemed like a couple.
Finally, it was time for the final round of The Calisota Youth Vocal Showcase.
The grand event captured the attention of many people, especially with the live broadcast, which elevated the competition to an unprecedented level of grandeur.
As the top-seeded contestant, Luca garnered widespread attention.
His roommates, eager to show their support for Luca, planned to attend the event together. They looked forward to seeing Luca claim the title of the top singer in the Calisota region.
At noon before the competition, Luca walked into the dorm with a talented young woman from Eirene Music Academy.
He introduced her as Feena, a woman with both beauty and talent. Joshua, Ronnie, Isaac, and Samuel couldn't help but be awestruck and feel their quickened heartbeats.
Joshua tried hard to make his smile appear genuine. "Luca, hurry up and introduce us to this beauty!"
Pointing to the young woman beside him, Luca said, "This is Feena, a top student at Eirene Music Academy. She's also participating in the competition this time."
Initially, Joshua and Isaac seemed eager to make a move, but upon hearing that Feena was also a contestant, they deflated.
All the participants in the Calisota finals were protégés of renowned mentors, and Feena, being the prized student of the esteemed Donald Cannon, naturally possessed extraordinary talent.
In comparison, they felt a little insignificant.
"By the way, where's Jack?" Luca suddenly realized that Jack wasn't in the dorm. He had wanted to introduce Jack to Feena.
However, Feena wasn't convinced. She thought Luca was just being modest out of consideration for his friend.
As a student from a formal music academy, she deeply understood Luca's exceptional musical talent. It was hard for her to imagine anyone at a non-artistic university surpassing Luca.
That afternoon, the finals of the Youth Vocal Showcase for the Calisota region were held grandly in the auditorium of Alnewgo University.
Major media outlets and internet celebrities provided live coverage.
Appearing on such prominent platforms meant unparalleled exposure and attention from numerous big names in the music industry.
For the contestants, this was undoubtedly the ultimate dream stage.
