The students from the music academy even stood up and shrieked, "This is great. She is an expert at piano. I didn't expect us to hear such a perfect performance at the school's gala. With such standards, she can even give concerts. I've no idea why she would study history when she is this good."
Zoe, Gia, and the others sat below the stage and clapped. They had to admit that Joy's performance was perfect.
Gia gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with jealousy. "Joy's piano playing is excellent. I don't believe Athena can play better than her."
Zoe nodded. "The Kennedy family once sent Athena to learn the piano, but she didn't seem to have learned it for long. No one has seen her play before. She probably isn't very good at it."
Jodie pouted. "Then she's going to make a fool of herself this time."
Not only did they think so, but almost everyone else thought so too. Moreover, Joy was the first to perform. It would be natural for the audience to have preconceived notions.
The host tried his best to calm down the amazement that Joy brought with her performance and announced, "Next, we have a new student from the Aerospace major, Athena Donovan. She is playing the piece 'Song from Heavens'. This is also the last program of this gala. Please enjoy it."
Athena's long hair hung down to her waist like a waterfall. She wore a light yellow linen dress. She walked gracefully onto the stage and bowed to the audience before walking to the piano and sitting down.
There was another round of exclamations below the stage.
A voice remarked, "She is indeed beautiful and looked very otherworldly. She's really pleasing to the eye."
Another said, "Athena looked less noble than Joy, but more casual. How rare."
Without any distractions, Athena took a deep breath, placed her hands on the black and white keys, and closed her eyes.
The venue fell silent. Everyone was looking at her.
With a press of a key, a faint tiger roar seemed to come from the depths of the abyss amidst the silence. A storm seemed to brew in the distance.
When the audience heard this, their hearts skipped a beat, and their eyelids twitched. They subconsciously held their breaths, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse.
The distant sounds grew louder and louder. It became more and more chaotic, making people feel fear and curiosity.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a bang as something exploded.
An student from the astronomy major suddenly shouted, "It's the singularity explosion, the birth of the universe. When matter dispersed, space expanded. After that the temperature dropped and the galaxy was formed. After a long time, life appeared. It's the first cry of mankind..."
The audience was enlightened. So this was the "Song from Heavens".
At this point, no one cared about how beautiful Athena was or who was more outstanding between her and Joy. Everyone just quietly listened to her music, imagined the birth of the universe, and felt the call of the heavens.
When the piece ended, the audience applauded enthusiastically. However, this reaction seemed incomparable to Joy's.
Athena did not seem to be affected by this comparison. She bowed to the audience and prepared to leave.
However, the host quickly walked over and said, "Athena, please wait."
Athena stopped and blinked.
The host stood beside Athena and said to the audience, "The thirteen judges will be evaluating the first, second, and third prizes of this gala. When the judges are deciding, I want to conduct a short interview with the top scorer of SAT, Athena, and Joy, who has returned overseas, on behalf of the students."
The host looked backstage. "Joy, can you come on stage for this interview?"
Joy nodded and went on stage to stand beside Athena.
There was another round of exclamations below the stage. Both girls were beautiful. When they stood together, they dazzled everyone more than they did on their own.
The host said, "Athena, I would like to ask about the piece you played just now. 'Song from Heavens' is grand and far-reaching. It's majestic, but it doesn't lose its tranquility and loneliness. It makes one imagine. Some people say this piece represents the birth of the universe and the evolution of life. Is that so?"
Athena smiled. "Yes."
The host asked again, "I like this piece very much. Can you tell us who composed it?"
Athena answered, "I did."
Zoe, Gia, and the others sat below the stage and clapped. They had to admit that Joy's performance was perfect.
