Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Grandpa, I am really getting angry.
"Hayakawa Kashi! You awful woman, I’ve organized four concerts for you, written two movie piano scores! And I’ve even helped guide nearly twenty piano students! When are you going to introduce me to my student!"
George Slater had just left the stage, and his previously calm demeanor changed instantly. He angrily called Hayakawa Kashi.
"I warn you! If you keep scheduling concerts for me, I will... I will..."
"I will vomit..."
This piano master was also very aggrieved. Given his status and reputation, concerts are organized once every several years, or even a decade, not like Hayakawa Kashi, who won’t let go of this fat sheep and crazily schedules performances, eager to exhaust his fame thoroughly.
George Slater didn’t care much about fame at this time; what mattered most to him was having a student whose talent could last for centuries...
But, that being said, Miss, you should also consider the frequency of my appearances and the feelings of my fans, okay? Those fans in Europe and around the world, upon hearing that I’m having a concert, are so excited and teary-eyed, everyone turned into devoted fans, flying to Neon to watch the performance.
After the first concert, they were eager for more, just about to fly home and brag when the second concert started just a few days later.
Since they’re die-hard fans, they decided to support it again.
A few days later, the third concert started.
Fans: ???
Their emotions in these few days could be described as falling from heaven to earth, especially some older fans. After the first concert, they leaned on canes, talking sincerely to the young people around them.
"I’ve lived so many years, seen all kinds of scenes, but I only had the chance to listen to three concerts by Master Slatter. You should cherish this."
After the second concert.
"Although such opportunities are rare, it’s also a valuable experience for you; this is a blessing that doesn’t happen in decades. I’ve lived so long, seen everything, right?"
The third concert.
Old fans: "..."
The fourth concert.
Old fans: Damn it, Slater damn you.
In the face of the aggrieved request from the piano master, Hayakawa Kashi responded calmly.
"Haven’t I brought him here?"
Hmm?
Old Man Slater coughed lightly to regain a bit of his elder’s momentum and said, "Where’s my student now?"
"Sorry, Master Slatter, he’s not your student yet."
"How dare you deceive me?" Old Man Slater was furious, "Do you believe I’ll have the Queen of the United Kingdom write a letter condemning the Hayakawa family!"
"Of course, I believe you, but it’s not me deceiving you." Hayakawa Kashi slowly replied, "Even if it were me, at best, I can only bring him to give you a chance. Whether you can win him over, Master Slatter, is up to you."
Old Man’s expression softened a bit, and he snorted coldly, "Then you better bring him here quickly so I can impress him with my piano skills!"
"We’re here, master, turn around."
Hearing the voice on the phone, George Slater was stunned for a few seconds, turned around, and indeed saw Hayakawa Kashi and the talented student he longed for.
He really came!
Old Man was secretly pleased, adjusted his bow tie with both hands, and steadily walked towards Shirakawa Sawahei.
"We meet again."
It was still in Italian, only this time the translator wasn’t by his side, so Miss Kaori had to take over the translation duty.
"Uh... you’re that piano master from last time, right?" Shirakawa Sawahei said something unnecessary and added, "Did you come to recruit students?"
"Yes, yes, I think you have a rare talent for practicing music rare among millions."
"..."
"Sorry, Master." Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, silently activating his showing-off mode, "I’m not targeting you; I mean everyone here..."
Hmm, there seems to be no one sitting down.
"I just think you can’t teach me."
Hayakawa Kashi’s translation was direct: "He thinks you’re trash."
Old Man was completely bewildered.
The repartee skills of Shirakawa and Hayakawa together seemed to increase by 200%, and even a piano master who had lived for so long was confused by this blunt evaluation translation.
Did he say I’m trash?!
I’m known as the living intangible cultural heritage of Italy! A leader in the piano world. The tonal standards for playing piano are set by us in discussions! You dare say I’m trash!
Grandpa really is getting angry!
"Then tell me, what kind of person qualifies to teach you!" Slater was so infuriated he laughed, determined to show this student the saying that there’s always someone better!
Talent represents only the future, not the present!
Hayakawa Kashi’s translation was again direct: "He says you’re not the right person to say those words."
Shirakawa Sawahei’s face was full of confusion, slowly typing out a question mark.
This girl, could she be taking this opportunity to settle a personal score?
But looking at Slater’s expression, it did seem like it might be that context...
"Did he really say that?"
The Scorpio Little Arrogant nodded calmly, not saying much, and seeing this, Shirakawa Sawahei frowned and reluctantly said, "He really can’t teach me anymore."
This was the truth, Shirakawa Sawahei’s current piano skill level was lv4, on par with Hayakawa Kashi. With Asano Nazuki’s blessing, if he focused on practicing, it might not take more than a month to surpass lv5, catching up with Asano Nazuki.
Plus, he had gained the little girl’s "immersive" talent, which gives a chance to perform beyond his skills, like lv4 reaching lv5 or even lv6 levels when playing.
George Slater was only lv6, and if he wanted to teach, Old Man would likely have to break through to lv7. But reaching lv7, Slater himself would be lauded for centuries; he wouldn’t need to teach him then.
Different skills obviously require different experiences to level up, and Shirakawa Sawahei’s learning skill levels up much faster than music or acting skills.
If nothing unexpected happens, by the end of this semester, he should be able to achieve lv9 in his high school education skills, gaining insight into the mystery of max-level skills.
"Are you sure?"
Hayakawa Kashi didn’t translate for Slater, directly speaking to Shirakawa Sawahei, "If you say it like that, he won’t believe you, why not perform a bit."
"Perform what?" Shirakawa Sawahei was a bit puzzled.
"Like what you played in front of me last time."
The Scorpio Little Arrogant showed no expression, seemingly recalling the time when he was amazed before.
Shirakawa Sawahei nodded, "Got it, tell him to give me a score, and I’ll learn it on the spot, then he should believe it."
Miss Kaori nodded, turned and translated to the Old Man.
"Give the score, master, he wants to perform publicly."
George Slater: ???
