Chapter 598: The Fifth Person
Everyone was watching the joke, but Professor Karl gradually became more and more strict in the following selection.
Most people started to panic, because this was completely different from the way Professor Karl had chosen the candidates.
All the people who thought that Jiang Yu would not be able to take the three positions were now somewhat shaken.
One hundred and fifty people had gone up to the stage to play the piano, but there was only one person who satisfied Professor Karl. And regarding that person’s strength, Professor Karl’s evaluation was, “Barely.”
That person was called Wang Qing, the publicly acknowledged goddess of the music department. But in Professor Karl’s mind, Wang Qing’s strength was only barely?!!
This could not help but make people worry about the contestants behind.
Up until the contestants before Jiang Yu, Professor Karl had only chosen one person. His evaluation was also the same: “Her strength is average, but she is much stronger than the others.”
Now there was only one seat left. If nothing unexpected happened, this seat would definitely belong to Jiang Yu.
Everyone thought so, but Professor Karl said, “Professor Bai, I heard that there is a contestant who is not from the music department? So she was placed at the bottom, right?”
Professor Bai nodded and said, “Yes. Her name is Jiang Yu, she is my disciple.”
Professor Karl nodded, he said, “Professor Bai, I believe in your judgment. Since she is your disciple, her strength must be outstanding. But she is not a music student and has not studied systematically in this aspect, so it is very difficult for me to believe in her strength. In that case, I don’t think there’s a need to watch her performance anymore. The four contestants can do it too. Although it’s not quite what I expected, it’s not a big problem.”
Everyone was shocked again.
They didn’t expect Professor Karl to express his dislike so clearly and directly say that he didn’t want to watch Jiang Yu’s performance.
This made Professor Bai feel a little embarrassed.
However, Professor Bai wasn’t as embarrassed as others thought. Instead, she said, “If Professor Karl doesn’t want to watch it, then we won’t watch it.”
Professor Karl raised his eyebrows and asked, “Is Professor Bai not going to speak up for your disciple?”
Professor Bai smiled and said, “Of course I do. However, we invited you here, so of course your opinion is the most important. Moreover, it’s good if Jiang Yu doesn’t participate in the competition. That way, she can continue to stay by my side. After all, she’s my most satisfied student and my only disciple. I can’t bear to see her so far away from me.”
Upon hearing Professor Bai’s words, Professor Karl suddenly became very interested in Jiang Yu. He said, “In that case, I still want to see the strength of this contestant named Jiang Yu.”
Professor Bai smiled and said, “Okay.”
Kang Xue had felt a sense of pleasure when she heard Professor Carl say that he didn’t want to watch Jiang Yu’s performance. She quickly walked to Jiang Yu’s side, intending to mock and ridicule her.
However, just as she said, “Jiang Yu, you have no chance at all.” She heard Professor Carl say that he wanted to see Jiang Yu’s strength.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Your wish has been completely disappointed.”
Kang Xue said unwillingly, “So what If you went to perform? Don’t tell me that if you went to perform, you will definitely get the fifth spot?”
Jiang Yu pretended to be deep in thought and said, “Who knows?”
Kang Xue was so angry that she stomped her feet. “You!”
After Jiang Yu went on stage, the people below the stage held their breaths, wanting to witness this historic moment.
Even though they didn’t think highly of Jiang Yu before this, thinking that she wasn’t qualified to participate in the competition at all. But now there was only one spot left, and Jiang Yu was the last person left. So, whether or not this spot would fall on her, each had a 50% chance.
If Professor Karl wasn’t satisfied, Jiang Yu wouldn’t get the spot.
But what if Professor Karl was satisfied? Then Jiang Yu would be the fifth person.
