Chapter 19

It wasn't long before Austin came back from his immersive singing. He looked at Edward on the podium, enjoying the thunderous applause from the class with a smirk on his face. In his mind he had already won this competition.

When it came to studying, he might not be able to study well but in singing he was simply invincible among the students in the whole school. In Austin's opinion, with his own singing level, winning this battle was an easy pie.

Having been given the privilege of not having to attend classes for nothing, his heart was already overjoyed. The applause gradually subdued and silence returned to the classroom.

"Students, did Austin sing well enough?" On the podium, Edward asked the class' students with a slight smile on his.

"Yes sir, He sang very well." Many students answered in unison. In the student days, there were so many gifted students who would always carry their own aura wherever they went. For example, the top students who were able to come out on top in every exam and Miles, Tony and the others who played basketball well.

Another example is Austin who sings very well. Horizon high School had 19 classes of grade 11 which contained over a thousand students. The ones who are remembered by most students are the class monitor or top students.

"Since student Austin has finished singing, it's my turn now." Edward cleared his throat and said with a smile.

Under his students' expectant gazes, he took out his phone from the podium and then he opened the Music Cloud on his phone and tapped on a song in his favorite songs list.

When the intro of the song started playing, it drew attention from the students sitting in the class.

"Holy shit. It's Lone."

"Edward Sir is actually going to sing this song?"

"No way. I've heard too many cover versions. What kind of tricks can Edward Sir come up with?"

"Hey. It's cheap for that Austin guy. He gets the privilege of not having to go to class for nothing."

"I'm so pissed off."

...

Below the podium, there were those students who were optimistic and those who weren't about Edward's singing, and the students murmured in low voices.

When Austin heard the prelude from the podium, his two eyes lit up.

'It is my win for sure. Edward sir you made a mistake by picking up Lone. Because there are so many covers on the internet. All kinds of stars and big names, influencers, and celebrities sing the song in their voice. There are so many good versions of this song. There have been so many that it's numbing. Edward Sir, thank you for even choosing to sing this song?'

The corners of Austin 's mouth lifted, revealing a look of easy victory.

The long prelude ends, and the last note falls. When it did, Edward slowly opened his mouth to sing.

"Both are brave."

"The cut on your forehead, your different mistakes you made."

"All, no need to hide."

"Your worn-out doll, your mask, your ego."

As soon as Edward opened his mouth to sing the song, the students in class 9 of grade 11 were stunned. The voice was low and suddenly all the students in the class were focused on Edward's singing.

"Holy shit, Eason."

"It's almost like the original singer is singing this song."

"How is that even possible?"

"Edward Sir isn't fooling us with the original song, is he? I think he is just moving his lips without actually singing."

"Fake singing? The classroom is just this big, how can he fake singing?"

"But this is too similar, it's just like the original one."

"It's so gentle, as if someone is whispering in my ear." A girl whispers in the ear of her deskmate.

"Wow, That's how I felt when I first heard this song. It is amazing, right?"

"Hey Austin, kneel in front of Edward Sir." A student said to Austin.

"Kneel for Edward Sir." His friends also repeated his words. But Austin didn't listen.

...

Edward's singing came, and Austin 's entire body was frozen.

'What a high level of singing. It is as if it is really Eason singing the song from the podium.' Even he, a master singer, couldn't pick out any faults at all, instead he was frozen by the emotion of the song and slowly immersed into the story of the song. His entire being was stunned.

'Was Edward Sir actually this good at singing? Just this imitation of Eason alone could have conquered countless people's hearts.' Eason was a famous singer who died recently. He is recognized as one of the most difficult to imitate.

Even Austin couldn't do such a good job of imitating Eason, as Edward had done.

"They say to bring light to tame every monster."

"They say to sew up your wounds no one loves a clown."

The gentle voice suddenly took on a hint of sadness.

"Why loneliness must not be honorable."

"Only imperfections in man are worth glorifying."

"Who says a sludge-covered man is not a hero."

On the podium, Edward was already completely immersed in singing.

His voice, demeanor, and emotions were all extremely on point, and his excellent level of singing had even conveyed his own emotions to the students below.

Perfect technique, rich emotions.

The students of class 9 of grade 11, driven by Edward's song, thought of themselves, of the awkward situation class 9 of grade 11 was in today.

Their academic performance is poor. They are mischievous. They have no respect. They're lawless.

But is that what they were born to do?

Since childhood have their mom and dad and the teachers at school ever thought about how they feel?

How many unknown sad stories have been covered up by the phrase "We're doing this for your own good"?

In the eyes of the other classmates, they are a different kind of person.

They were the bad students. They were never perfect. But they didn't get the chance to pursue their dreams?

They're just kids with their own hobbies. No one ever asks them what they like. No one ever gave them a choice.

Until today, until Edward Sir came along. He shines into the children's hearts like a ray of light.

"Go? Worthy? This ragged cloak."

"War? Fight. With the humblest of dreams."

"To the whimper and roar of the night."

"Who says he who stands in the light is a hero."

When Edward sang the climax of the song, the entire class 9 of grade 11, had already broken into cheers.

"Too good."

"I feel like I have goosebumps all over my body."

"Holy shit. Is this really not the original song?"

"I'm shocked."

"After hearing too many cover versions, we forgot about the original version of Eason."

"Yeah. The original version is the best."

"Edward Sir's is also the best."

"It's awesome."

...

Various arguments appeared in every corner of the classroom.

If Austin 's singing of "Windy" just now was tender and nice.

Then the "Lone" that Edward was singing now was shocking and explosive.

The emotions of all the students in class 9 of grade 11 were captured by Edward's song. Some had even begun to stand up from their seats to cheer for Edward.

"Edward Sir! Edward Sir!"

"Edward Sir!!!"

One to two, seven to eight ... Within a short time, almost all of the students stood up. They cheered and clapped at the same time.

The huge commotion caused the hearts of the students in the surrounding classes to feel like they were being lightly scratched by a cat's claw.

'What in the world had happened in class 9 of grade 11?' They were curious about what was happening in class 9 of grade 11.

'Someone's singing? Why does it sound like Eason's voice?'

Many students in the closest classes 8 and 10 were not in the mood for evening study.

After the song. The students of class 9 of grade 11 started to cheer and ask Edward to sing one more time.

"Edward Sir. Edward Sir."

"One more song."

"One more song."

"I love you, Edward Sir."

"You are the best Edward sir."
