Chapter 108: 83. Blow the oboe!_2

The classroom door was "clack" yanked open, interrupting her speech.

"Dead tired, uh—" A beautiful youth, with an oboe tucked under his arm, walked in rubbing his shoulders.

"What’s this about?" he asked with a shallow, entertained smile.

Dubian Che’s arrival loosened the nearly frozen atmosphere in the classroom.

Many girls gazed at his face, infatuated, whispering things like ’no good, way too handsome.’

Hanaoka Chaozi let out a sigh of relief—everything would definitely be fine with Mr. Dubian here.

Yuzao Haomei’s long eyelashes fluttered as she raised her eyes to look at the grinning boy before her.

On the tenor horn pistons, Mayi Asuka’s fingers became a bit livelier.

"And this has nothing to do with you," Hase Haru’s tone softened slightly.

She did want to be angry with Dubian Che, who got along well with Kiyono Lin, but due to female—or should I say, human—instinct, she still subconsciously maintained basic decorum when facing someone with outstanding looks.

"Don’t say that, senior. I’m also a member of the Wind Instrument Club," Dubian Che’s smile brightened even more, and Hase Haru’s anger dissipated significantly.

He continued, "If I had known that the ’A’ group would be this level and that we wouldn’t have to participate in the big cleanup, I wouldn’t have exhausted myself like this."

A suffocating silence took over the space.

Most of the people, including Hase Haru, stared at Dubian Che in shock.

Dubian Che’s expression remained unchanged, his smile filled with enchantment.

He rubbed his shoulder and, taking the oboe from under his arm, said to Kiyono Lin on the platform, "Advisor Kiyono, I want to take the second audition. The ’A’ group is at this level, I can match that."

Kiyono Lin’s beautiful little face looked at Dubian Che, and before she could speak, Hase Haru’s sharp voice came through.

"This level? You pretty boy..."

"Pretty boy?"

"Your instrument was bought by Jiutiao, right? A country..."

"Yeah, I admit I am very good-looking."

"You..."

"What now?" Dubian Che interrupted her again, spreading his arms with a smile. "Senior Hase, wanna fight? Sure, out of respect for you being my senior by two years, as your junior, I’ll give you both hands."

His tone was gentle, his smile charming, and his simple gesture exuded the grace of a beautiful youth, but the atmosphere instantly turned tense.

"I’m going to teach you a lesson today!" In front of so many people, Dubian Che’s arrogant and scornful attitude caused Hase Haru to lose her rationality.

Her eyes ablaze with shame and anger, she rushed over and swung at Dubian Che’s face.

"Senior Hase!"

"Dubian!"

"Wait!"

"Um—"

Following Hase Haru’s pained groan and the sound of chairs and tables being knocked over, chaos ensued, then the room fell completely silent.

"That wasted a bit of time." Dubian Che withdrew his foot that had deftly tripped the other, and said to the astonished Kiyono Lin, "Advisor, let’s start the audition. Please, listen to my performance."

Without waiting for Kiyono Lin’s agreement, in this awkward situation with no clear resolution, Dubian Che insolently began to play the oboe.

Despite it being a melody that had already been practiced and heard countless times, such beautiful sound forced the rowdy audience into breathless silence.

The melody, like the voice of a gospel singer, and the gentle yet detailed oboe tones made everyone’s hearts clench.

The lingering notes stretched infinitely, crystal clear, like a sigh from God.

Lying on the floor, Hase Haru couldn’t help swallowing hard, her heart trembling, goosebumps rising.

In an instant, the summer classroom air filled with lingering, sweet melodies.

When the auditorium became so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping could be heard, everyone realized that the performance had already ended.

No one moved, no one spoke.

"Passed?" asked Dubian Che.

"...Passed." Kiyono Lin responded in a low voice, as if still not fully recovered from the previous performance.

Dubian Che turned his gaze towards Hase Haru, then looked at everyone.

"Such poor playing, the performance itself riddled with flaws. At this level, you start giving the advisor a hard time?"

Dubian Che slid his hand through his hair and exaggeratedly sighed, resting it on his forehead.

"Never mind, it’s futile no matter how hard you people try. It’s good to acknowledge the gap between people early."

"Mr. Dubian?!" Ayane Kumi stood up.

"Is it not so?" Dubian Che spread his arms. "I’ve only practiced for half a month, everyone."

His words were mocking and proud.

"I can make it to the national competition with that. And you? No matter how much you practice, you’ll probably only get a bronze in the Tokyo competition. Oh, sorry, maybe the judges will be lenient because Goda High School is pretty famous and give you a less embarrassing silver."

"Did the truth hurt? But you know best whether what I’m saying is real..."

"Dubian, shut up." The one interrupting Dubian Che was Kiyono Lin.

Everyone was surprised, including Dubian Che.

Had Kiyono seen through his intentions, planning to stop him from speaking further?

That would not do.

Kiyono Lin’s cold face turned stern: "I am their advisor, I can criticize them all I want, but I will not allow anyone else to lecture them."

"Mr. Kiyono..." Their voices were full of apology and emotion.

"And," Kiyono Lin’s eyes, usually so cool, now burned with fire, "I believe that every member present, with effort, can make it to the national competition and even win the gold."

Gasps filled the music room.

This was the first time Kiyono Lin had praised them.
