The play III

'My son called me to his play, I don't know why he wants me to go to such a high school event, but he always does his best at the company, sometimes I need to fulfil some of his wishes.' Thought a middle-aged man, short gray hair, strict expression, well-built body, like if he was a former military.

He was on his way to his son school, on a Bentley Mulliner Batur worth of 2 million dollars, his son went to a normal school, if he wanted he could go to the best school of this country, but he likes to stay low profile.

So when he got there, everyone turned their head to see who was the one in such an expensive car.

The man, wasn't afraid of attention, he's used to it. Actually, the man didn't even notice, he's so used to it, that he just ignore the attention unconsciously.

He got right on time to see the play, he didn't have any expectation, he only went there because of his son, he may be strict, but he's a good father.

The play begun, firstly, he didn't approve such pretty young boy doing a man like Zeus, but when he saw how he spoke and his body very movements, he was astonished.

A teenager boy, doing such a thing it's incredible, it's not like those professional actors, but when it comes from a little boy, it's really a thing.

It's rare seeing a shocked expression on Mr. Miller face, but today his son really got him a good surprise, but it wasn't the end.

As the play progressed, he got even more shocked, the boy wasn't the only talented one.

The one who's doing Hera shocked him too, she was expressing emotions in such a relatable way that he even recalled some of his young days.

When the play came to an end, he found himself speechless, looking around he noticed wasn't the only one.

Not even in his biggest dreams he would think something similar would happen, if his son told him that it would happen, he would think he's kidding.

Looking at his son at the stage, he saw his victorious expression, but seemed he was shocked too, somehow even him didn't expect so much.

Quickly Miller got his phone, called someone, they discussed a matter, and then he hanged up with a smile.

He saw his son coming at him, so he didn't go outside, he waited because he wanted to talk with his son about an important matter.

---------------------------------------------

Even one hour after the end of the play I can't calm down, It's the first time I felt this kind of excitement, this kind of thrill that I wished for so long, also I'm asking myself why I'm feeling this sadness.

My body is all sweat, but a big 'U' is drawn by my mouth.

I tried to comprehend what it's this sadness I'm feeling, and the only thing I came up is that I'm feeling Zeus sadness, not mine.

I don't know why I'm still feeling his feelings, though.

Beside me, Jessie, was probably feeling something similar, even on our practices we didn't perform as today, looked like we lost control of ourselves, we were really sinking in Zeus and Hera personality.

I then, remembered a thing, I got a system message and didn't read what it said, so I'll check it out now.

[New skill acquired: Personification]

[Description: Based on your character understanding, you'll be able to act as he would.

Restriction: You can only reach 50 percent of personification]

Damn, that's incredible, but fifty percent looks useless…

[Host, for your concern, your understanding of Zeus is only 30 percent.]

— W-WHAT? — I got so shocked that I voiced out my thoughts.

I'm glad there's no one around, it would be hard to explain why it happened, but I really am incredulous right now.

System, so why did I felt I reached perfection with him and then my acting leveled up?

[You reached the perfection of your current level, if studied again the script and performed Zeus you would perform way better than what you did now.]

[Don't be cocky, right now you are nothing compared to professionals.]

I wanted to argue, though, I knew it wasn't wrong.

I may act as a narcissist, and I am one, but I know that I only got at this point thanks to the system.

System, where am I standing on acting level?

[You are at a trainee actor lever, you are great to your age, but you need much more if you want to be known worldwide.]

Yeah, it's true, I even found a genius like Jessie.

She's as good as me, and I have a system, she otherwise is extremely talented, she got here with her own talent and effort.

While I was lost in thoughts, Brian and an old man I never saw before, came to talk with me.

— Hello, young man, I'm Miller, Brian's father. — His voice was severe, but he looked at me as if he was looking at a diamond.

— Hello, Mister Miller, I'm Lee Noon, nice to meet you.

I felt goosebumps when he gazed at me, his sharp eyes and well-built body gave him a strong impression to me.

We talked about thirty minutes about the play, how it was acting on stage for an audience for the first time, and minor things.

— I don't like beating around the bush, so, would you like to work under me as a trainee actor? — His father said with an imposing voice, even Brian looked surprised when he said.

— Father? You said you'd just talk with him. — Brian said, shocked, his mouth wide open.

— He looks good enough, I can feel the money aura on him. — He said, looking at my eyes, like if he's seeing beyond and through my soul.

I got surprised that such a man would be a Chuunibyou, look at what he said, he may have some strange habits.

— So, what do you think? You won't have an opportunity like that twice. — He said with an even stricter voice.

— Wait, this is too out of the blue, can I answer this weekend? — I said, I had no time to process what happened.

— It's already weekend, but ok, you have one week to answer. Be quick, I'll turn you into a rising star in this industry. — He looked at me, but unlike what he said, seemed he approved my decision of thinking about it.

— We should go, son, I need your help at the company. — He ordered Brian, Brian had no voice on that decision.

— See you, Lee. — Brian said, following his father
