After talking with Nick, Kaylee walked into the main hall along with the other audiences. She decided to mingle with others to avoid bumping Declan in an accident. Besides, she noticed her ex-ntor entering the lift when she got inside the lobby.
That 'guy was intrigued to see Nicholas's progress, considering he once wished for 'Nick' to change class.
After she found a comfortable seating spot, she heard so gossip from the piano class kids.
"Have you heard?"
"Hear what?"
"There was a small commotion at the backstage. They said Arnold sent his minion to break Nick's guitar."
"What? Why did he do it?"
"I have no idea."
"He couldn't be afraid losing from the inexperienced freshman, could he? Even though Larson was a genius playing piano and reading the quick reading, everyone knows that his guitar playing was not as great as he played the piano."
"Dunno. Poor Larson. His guitar already broke. What would he do now?"
Kaylee frowned when she heard this. She tried to rember which guitar Nick had brought? That boy had dozens of guitars as his collection, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she rembered that Nick's guitar was the least favorite one. Nevertheless, Nick took care of the guitar so lovingly as if he were dating the guitar.
The young man even forbade Wendy and Kaylee to enter his private room to protect his so-called 'babies.'
Nick constantly changes the guitar he carries every ti he appears at his concerts. The number of guitars he has in his room was countless to the point that she cannot see the room walls because it was filled with guitars.
Kaylee knew Nick would not bring his favorite guitar to a music battle that was nothing with his annual concert tour. Kaylee couldn't imagine what happened to that person once Nick showed his fang if soone touched his most favorite baby.
That young man had a quick temper and easily get angry when sothing damages or hurts soone he loves. Since the culprit broke Nick's least favorite one, Kaylee figured Nick wouldn't be too mad.
The guitar that Nick brought was the first guitar his grandmother gave him, thanks to winning a music competition when he was ten. His grandfather had bought the guitar for a long ti and wanted to be able to play it. But he didn't have the ti, and the guitar ended up in the warehouse.
Nick did not rember his grandfather because the aging man was gone when Nick still learned to speak. Regardless, Nick still cherished his first guitar because it was a gift from his grandmother.
Luckily Nick was able to control his emotions and did not imdiately attack Arnold's team. Otherwise, this music battle would end quickly without even starting with Arnold's team winning.
Not long after, Kaylee felt so vibration inside her sling bag. It ca from her new smartphone with the sa old number. Once she saw who was calling for her, Kaylee slid the green symbol on the screen.
"Hello?"
"Tell more about this music battle."
Kaylee knew right away that Nick was planning to get back at Arnold in a justice way.
"Instead of that, how about you suggest a duel with Arnold?"
"What is that?"
"Duel is a match individually. He is a guitarist and singer, and so are you. I've heard him sing and play guitar, and he's way below you. When he couldn't control his emotions and let them take over, he beca unfocused on his guitar and made many mistakes. So he took off his guitar, and he chose to sing more often."
"How can I get my revenge this way?"
"Unlike the music battle, the duel must have a stake as the winner's reward."
"Oh? Interesting."
"You can just bet with your instrunts, and once you win, you can destroy their instrunts any way you want."
"That's what I wanted."
"But, Nick. I have sothing more than just destroy their instrunt. It was too light for their punishnt. Lure him to change the bet you are offering. Miller was a greedy person, and it was no secret that he wants to make this music battle arena to humiliate and the others. Once he changes the bet, you change your bet for him too."
"Is there sothing you've had in your mind?"
"Of course. Make them resigned their event spot, and your team will replace it. I heard they had a schedule for flashmob street performance and the winter festival. Furthermore, they will also be performing in New York square on Christmas eve. I'm sure the others will like it to appear in public. This will help their assessnt of recital exams in the future."
"So it's about them. What about ?" protested Nick as he assud Kaylee prioritizes her friends over himself.
Kaylee smiled, amused hearing that. "Of course, I thought of you. That's why I helped you think of ways to get him multiple tis. They are bound to feel frustrated once they know the schedule they have set has passed into the hands of soone else. Especially if that person is the idol campus, their humiliation would be doubled once the referee announced the winner."
Nick grinned at that. "I love every ti you are wicked like this. Love you, sis."
Kaylee laughed at that and looked forward to the duet performance between Nicholas Larson and Arnold Miller.
After waiting for a few minutes, the event host appeared on stage to inform the audiences of the changes regarding this music battle. The two parties were no longer engaged in the battle, but they would be on duel instead.
Hearing this stunned the audience but gave enthusiastic cheers that people outside the room could listen to their roars.
The duel between Nicholas and Arnold would begin in ten minutes, making the audience even more impatient to watch the two performances.
One was the prodigy boy and their idol, while one was a senior who had experience performing on stage with his colleagues.
They were wondering who would win this duel? Is Nicholas Larson a newcor to this campus, a prodigy boy, or the most popular senior who has often appeared at their big campus events?
If they had known that Nicholas Larson was the lead guitarist of the Adams, they would all have picked Nick without a doubt.
No matter how often Arnold appeared on stage, his experience could never be compared to the Adams who have held concerts overseas.
This duel rule was that one of both parties would play and sing whatever song he fancied. The second party must find a way to connect the type of music played by the first party and use the last word pronounced the first to sing a different song to challenge the initiator.
You could say it was a riff-off battle, and they had to play the guitar and sing at the sa ti.
If the second party couldn't think of a song to sing a different song within one minute, the first party would get one score. And if soone let go of his guitar first, his opponent would get one score. Whoever reached for the first twenty winning would be declared the winner.
Arnold felt very confident because he had sung almost every song in this world. He believed that Nick's experience, which was nearly zero, definitely did not have as many song bankers as he did.
Arnold looked at Letti with a lustful gaze as he pursed his mouth to tell the girl that he couldn't wait to taste her soft lips.
Letti shuddered in disgust with that pervert senior's gesture. She scoffed and decided to look hopefully at Nick.
Currently, Nick was tunning Adam's guitar and adjusting it according to his wishes.
"Nick, you will win this, right?"
"I thought you said you trust ."
"I did. So please don't make regret it."
"I won't." Nick returned to focus on his guitar without paying attention to Adam, who watched him with a look of amazent.
How could Nick be so good at tuning up an electric guitar overnight? The young man seed to treat his guitar like soone touched his lover. So gentle yet firm and full of passion.
At one glance, Adam imdiately knew Nick was a guitar maniac and could guess that the young man must have had a collection of guitars filling his room.
Adam was eager to ask questions and asked Nick to teach him how to tune an electric guitar. But he knew that right now, Nick had to focus on preparing for today's duel. And they couldn't afford to be on the losing side.
Once Nick finished resetting Adam's electric guitar to his taste, the host inford them that it was ti for the duel to begin.
Nick and Arnold went up to the stage and put in a jack cable that connected their guitars to the sound speakers. Then the host asked them who wanted to sing a song first.
"I don't want to be the one to whack here. So I encourage Mister Larson here to start first."
Nick rolled his eyes lazily at the scorn escaping from Arnold's mouth.
"I'm a freshman here, and I don't really know the rules in this place. How about seniors like you show it first to ."
"Are you sure? Well, I will show you that you ssed around with the wrong buddy."
"Let's see about that," smirked Nick without feeling afraid.
