Chapter 106 [Bonus Chapter] 106 - The Zone

??????

Oh-oh-oh, today, I don't feel like doing anything...

I just wanna lay in my bed...

Don't feel like picking up my phone...

So leave a message at the tone...

'Cause today, I swear I'm not doing anything...

Nothing at all (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Nothing at all (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Nothing at all...

Seeing BlackVelvet on stage singing such a different song, one that was neither rock nor country, and getting this audience full of rock and country fans so excited, made Lila's curiosity even greater.

"Thank you to the guys in this group!" BlackVelvet said on stage, pointing to a group of overjoyed friends. "If it wasn't for your help, I think I might even be able to hear my own voice..."

Hearing what BlackVelvet said, the audience began to laugh.

Especially the guys in the group who were singing so loudly that BlackVelvet could hardly be heard when they heard him joking with them, the people there were so happy that one of the men even turned his beer bottle over when he saw everyone in the bar looking at him.

Lila realized that BlackVelvet, despite being a bit immature, was very good with the crowd.

For someone who had started his artistic career less than two months ago, having such a strong stage presence with so little experience was already very good, but while his youthful approach was more effective with other young people, he was still not as popular as Fedrick with the older crowd.

"If they put him up against other E Rank artists the difference between the two would be glaring, but unfortunately he's competing with a D Rank Peak artist, almost at C Rank... if he relies on that alone he won't be able to convince the public that he's better than Fedrick..." Lila commented to her agent who was sitting next to her at the table.

"Yes... the kid has talent, you can see that he's developing fast and why, but side by side with an almost C-ranked artist shows that the kid still has a long way to go..." Lila's agent agreed.

But even though they felt that BlackVelvet's performance was still a little below Fedrick's level, they both paid close attention to BlackVelvet and enjoyed the show as much as they could.

After two more songs by BlackVelvet, Fedrick returned to the stage to perform again, once again showing the difference in level between him and BlackVelvet.

But observing the audience, surprisingly, despite the difference in level between the two, the people in the audience weren't so worried about it and showed the same level of excitement for both.

Mainly because there were more young people than older people in the audience, BlackVelvet's youthful appeal was just as effective on this crowd as Fedrick's!

"The difference between the two will be decided by who can win over the other's audience more..." Lila's agent commented, causing her to nod as well.

"While Fedrick keeps the young audience, which is not so much his forte, while the more mature audience is captivated by him, BlackVelvet is the other way around, he captivates the young but loses the older people... whoever manages to win over the other's audience will have the advantage in this, and right now that advantage lies with Fedrick..." Lila commented as well, looking at the stage with even more interest.

Don't tell me you're going to lose just because of that, BlackVelvet? She thought as she picked up a glass of whiskey and energy drink and sipped at it carefully.

- Noah's POV -

Watching Fedrick's show from backstage and seeing the audience's reaction, I realized that Fedrick had a much higher level of stage presence than I did.

Even though he was an idiot, his idiot attitude was very interesting, even more so for an aspiring rock star, so when he stepped on stage, he was able to captivate the audience without much effort.

[Stage Presence Lv 7 -> 8]

Just watching his performance helped me level up, which showed how high his skill was.

From what I observed, Fedrick's guitar level was higher than mine. While mine was Lv 34, his must be at least Lv 38, but my singing level is higher than his, being Lv 33 while his must be Lv 29...

If it was just a presentation and singing competition, I could win more easily because I could use my singing to attract the audience's attention with my appearance, but his stage presence level was too high.

He probably had a Stage Presence of around level 20, which was different levels from mine, so I had to use a different way to win.

I was lucky that the audience was younger, which gave me a big advantage.

As far as I could tell from the audience, as long as I sang Boyfriend between the last few songs, I would be able to capture a large part of the young audience, but I don't know if it would be enough.

"Are you confident?" Jason asked as he filmed me.

"Honestly? Not very..." I replied, looking worriedly into the camera.

That was reality.

"But if there's a little bit of confidence, it's because you know you can do something to win... right?" Jason asked.

As soon as he asked that, a smile appeared on my face.

"Of course, if I didn't have that, I wouldn't have the confidence to accept the musical battle, haha." I replied laughing. I replied laughing. "My confidence lies in my original song...if I can captivate the younger audience with Boyfriend, I will rely solely on my new song to captivate the difference in audience between me and Fedrick...it's a risky bet, but it makes me excited!"

As soon as I said that, the smile on my face got even bigger.

Since I started my career in this world, I don't think I've ever faced such an intense challenge, and it made me very excited.

What I didn't know was that this wasn't the first time I'd felt like this... at my first gig, when I was just filling in for the guitarist in Mark and Frank's band, when Liv asked me to sing Numb and I sang it on stage for the first time, it was like I was in a hyper-

focus zone.

And now I was in that zone again for the second time.
