However, the person beside him could only blink in surprise. At first she thought that she had seen something else because she leaned back, confused.
“I must have seen wrong.”
However, at this moment, another member spoke, “I saw it too. The lineup is incredible. You didn’t see wrong.”
“Shit!”
The last silver of hope she had in her heart was extinguished. She couldn’t help but groan. Why did this have to be the truth?
The other member was at a loss as to what to say.
However, he couldn’t really blame her reaction. After all, at the sight of these big shots, even he couldn’t help but be afraid.
At that moment, the male student leaned back. “Maybe they had arrived at the wrong place? I mean, this is just a basic assessment, right? Why would they send the big shots at us?” he whispered. “Maybe someone should inform them so that they could send the other judges.”
“That makes sense.”
The woman glanced at the two men in exasperation.
After confirming her thoughts, he was already comforting himself.
Whatever!
“Are you crazy? There’s only one exam here!” she snapped. “Do you really think that they’d hold the Advanced Exam in City A, even if they do have one?”
“Then maybe they’re not the judges for the orchestra, but the judges for the solo instruments next door? That requires a more high-level assessment, right?”
The girl’s eyes shone with hope.
However, after a moment, her eyes immediately narrowed. “You’re saying that all of them made that mistake?”
Even if they had arrived at the wrong place, they should’ve known by now, right?
Moreover, with just one glance at their sharp gazes and imposing manner, she was already certain that they weren’t dense.
There was only one explanation for this.
That meant that these high-level judges were all here to judge their assessment. They didn’t make any mistakes.
Just the thought changed the atmosphere around them completely.
The lively boy who had just spoken a couple of minutes ago became almost lifeless. He continued to watch the bench as if hoping that the ground would swallow him alive.
The girl’s heart was finally at ease.
“Stop trying to lie to yourself.”
Her eyes shone brightly.
“Weren’t you the one who said that they might have seen wrong? Shouldn’t you take your advice first?”
The girl flushed bright red.
“You’re the one who’s afraid here!”
“Please. I’m not the one deceiving myself!”
“What do you mean by deceiving myself? Are you trying to stir up trouble?” she bit back.
“I’m not! Ask him!”
He nudged his good friend beside him who immediately lifted his head.
However, it seemed that his good friend wasn’t exactly good to him at all. Instead, he snorted and turned away. “You’re the one who stirred up some trouble.”
“Yeah, you’re the one who started it!”
“Hey, it’s almost time for the assessment! Just quiet down!”
Everyone supported the girl.
The boy’s jaw dropped.
“How could you do this to me? Oh, whatever! If you’re going to betray me like this, fine!” He clutched his chest. “You’ve hurt me. Et Tu, Brutus?”
His eyes were bright with grief and indignation that everyone couldn’t hold back their laughter anymore.
Suddenly, they became much more relaxed.
The optimistic atmosphere returned once again.
Even if these judges were of high ranking, their standards would still be the same. They all just had to do their best.
It wouldn’t be any use if they were pressured.
They took a deep breath and shifted their attention back to the stage.
Time had passed quickly. By then, it was almost time for the Shanna Orchestra to perform.
