Seeing that Touma Kazusa agreed, Fujiwara Chika took a deep breath, restored her mood to the calmest state, and slowly placed the ten fingers of both hands on the black and white keys.
Accompanied by her extremely graceful playing posture, the melodious piano sound floated out from the lounge window.
Students from nearby Shuchiin and Sobu High School all heard the faint and pleasant piano sound.
"Is this...Fujiwara-san playing?"
"Fujiwara-san's piano playing is still so beautiful."
"As expected of the former prime minister's great-granddaughter, she is not only cute, but also plays the piano very well."
"This piano sound... is nice, but..."
"But what?"
"I kind of want to continue listening to that suona music."
"Um...actually I haven't heard enough either."
........
Although Fujiwara Chika's piano playing is at a very high level, the sound is very pleasant to the ear.
But compared with the famous piece "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" just played by Ye Xing, it is obviously not on the same level.
Not only are their levels not on the same level.
Even the song selection is very different.
Chika Fujiwara chose a piano piece that was not too difficult to play and which she was most confident in.
How can such an ordinary song compete with "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"?
Can't touch it at all.
After Fujiwara Chika finished playing, she immediately turned her head and looked at Touma Kazusa, trying to find reactions such as recognition, surprise, and appreciation in the other's eyes.
Unfortunately.
There was no emotion in Touma Hesa's eyes, they were as calm as ever.
This made Fujiwara Chika very upset.
Is this how my performance appears to the other person?
This was a misunderstanding on the part of Fujiwara Chika.
Touma and Sa grew up in a completely different environment than she did.
In Touma Kazusa's mind, playing the piano is nothing to be praised about.
It's just like eating and drinking water, it's a normal thing.
Would you look at someone with appreciation when you see them drinking a glass of water in front of you?
impossible.
Touma Kazusa just walked silently to the piano and sat down, placing her slender white fingers on the black and white keys.
She said nothing, but just started playing as usual.
From the moment the first note was played, Fujiwara Chika realized...
I lost.
The piano level of the two...
There's a world of difference between them. They're not even on the same level.
This has gone beyond the obvious aspects of the difficulty of the music and the fluency of playing.
A brief summary.
The sound of the piano played by Touma Kazusa is simply better than that of Fujiwara Chika.
This is a complete and utter crushing in all aspects.
It was the first time for the members of the Super Club to see Touma and Sa playing the piano, and they all looked surprised.
That cold-tempered Touma classmate who always keeps people at a distance...
Is his attainment in piano so high?
Ye Xing was naturally not surprised by this situation.
There is no way Touma Kazusa could lose to Fujiwara Chika.
If we take learning as an example...
Touma Kazusa has the talent of Shinomiya Kaguya and the focus and perseverance of Shirogane Miyuki.
Top talent, coupled with hard work day after day that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
This is the strength of Touma and Sa.
"ended."
After the song was over, Touma Hesa simply said three words and stood up from the piano.
Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya were both speechless.
Lost.
Completely defeated.
Chika Fujiwara is a student at the private Shuchiin Academy, representing the highest level of piano.
Shinomiya Kaguya originally thought that even if her good friend lost, he would not lose too badly.
But she only now realized that her original idea was extremely wrong.
Touma Kazusa and Fujiwara Chika are not in the same league at all.
This is simply a crushing defeat!
Fortunately.
Kaguya Shinomiya thought that even if she lost at the piano game, it wouldn't be a big deal.
After all, specialties are specialties, and a student’s duty ultimately lies in grades.
Let her protect the last dignity of Private Shuchiin as the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Group!
........
A few hours later, in the hall of Shuchiin.
The teachers and students of Sobu High School, as well as all the students of Shuchiin who took the exam, were sitting here, waiting for the results of the exam.
Most of the students in Shuchiin were looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yohoshi who were sitting there with extremely mocking and gloating eyes, and were whispering to each other.
"There are only a few minutes left before we become disgraced."
"There's no need to be so happy. We are Shuchiin, and victory is a matter of course."
"Yeah, if we ridicule them now, it's like we're really treating them as competitors. There's no need for that."
"We are not schools of the same level to begin with. The joint exam is probably just something the school is doing to please us."
"Shinomiya Kaguya-san, there is no way you can lose to a mere Sobu High School student."
.......
Listening to the ridicule from the Shuchiin students, Hiratsuka Shizuka gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
"These guys are so arrogant. Are we Sobu High School worse than their Shuchiin?"
To Shizuka Hiratsuka's surprise, Ye Xing, who was sitting next to her, actually nodded and replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Of course, what do you think?"
"Eh?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"But, you said this morning..."
Ye Xing waved his hand and said disapprovingly.
"Oh, I was just pretending, you didn't take it seriously, did you?"
Then, without waiting for Hiratsuka Shizuka to speak, Ye Xing said lightly.
"We at Sobu High School have the best student, that is me, and the best teacher, that is you. I am not making these two statements up."
Having said that, Ye Xing changed the subject.
"But the greatest advantage of Shuchiin has never been these visible things."
"That is...?"
Ye Xing smiled and said softly.
“It’s connections.”
"Shuchiin has the most profound foundation among all the colleges and universities in Sakura Province."
"As long as a student enters Shuchiin and successfully graduates, he will be able to meet fellow Shuchiin graduates in the future, whether he chooses business, politics, or any other path."
"Plus, most of the students at Shuchiin are either rich or noble. Spending three years as a classmate with such people, the friendships formed during that time will also be a help in the future."
"This kind of personal connection cannot be bought with money alone."
Hiratsuka Shizuka obviously understood the logic behind this and nodded in agreement.
Then, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Since you know the benefits of choosing Shuchiin, why did you come to Sobu High School in the first place?"
"I don't need this."
Ye Xing replied casually, then looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka beside him and spoke with a smile in his eyes.
"Besides, if I don't enroll in Sobu High School, I won't be able to meet such a beautiful homeroom teacher, let alone flirt with her in the office."
Hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka's pretty face turned red with shame and she spoke while clenching her teeth.
"You kid, are you making fun of the teacher again? Take this from me..."
Just when Shizuka Hiratsuka was halfway through her words, she saw the middle-aged female teacher from Shuchiin who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses slowly walking onto the stage.
"Next, the rankings of this joint exam will be announced."
The huge conference room suddenly became silent.
Under the gaze of all the students at Shuchiin and Sobu High School, the female teacher took a deep breath, her expression became very complicated, and she spoke slowly.
"The first place in this joint exam..."
"Sobu High School, Class 1A, Yohoshi-san."
154 Victory speech, Chaoliangshe's summer plan starts with hunting down the murderer
After hearing what the middle-aged female teacher said, the entire hall fell silent.
The students of Shuchiin looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.
"The first place is... Sobu High School?"
"That Ye Xing...got first place in this exam?"
"Wait a minute, where's Kaguya Shinomiya? Kaguya Shinomiya... lost!?"
"Shuchiin...lost to Sobu High School?"
.......
Compared to others, the person involved, Kaguya Shinomiya, who was the student representative on whom Shuchi Academy placed all its hopes, had a calm face, and even her eyes did not fluctuate at all.
Perhaps, from the moment she heard Ye Xing hand in the paper forty minutes early, she had vaguely realized the outcome of this battle.
The other party's self-confidence is not unreasonable arrogance, but is based on strong strength.
Looking at the Shuchiin students around her who were staring at her with expressions of shock and surprise, Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly felt bitter in her heart.
In the eyes of these people, she lost to Ye Xing.
