"Professor, there must be a mistake," Alex said with a look of utter disbelief. "How is it possible that I got zero points in the Trial of Music when my singing was the bomb!"
"Well, you're not wrong because you did bomb your singing," Professor Arienna replied, struggling to keep a straight face. "Alex, everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. It just so happens that singing is not one of your talents, and that is alright."
"Huh?" Alex blinked once, then twice, before shaking his head as if he could negate the Music Professor's words by doing that.
Alex Stratos? No talent in singing? Inconceivable!
"Professor, I don't want to brag, but my friends called me Karaoke King in the past," Alex stated with a hint of pride. "I don't know if you're just pranking me, but if you are, I'm going to ask the Headmaster to be the judge. I will showcase my talents once again to prove that this score does not reflect my ability accurately."
