Hearing that, Ingram was angry. He had always been clear about right and wrong.
Even if Skylar was not doing well, there was no need for everyone to be so cynical.
Zera was speechless. These people, in order to befriend Greg, could do anything.
On the contrary, Skylar was not at all angry. He even found it funny.
This bunch of ignorant people!
Skylar didnât say anything, which made Greg even more proud, and added along with what he just said, âIt seemed that you are really a civilian! Six years as a civilian, you must have a deep. attainment in musical instruments. It just so happens that Iâve been learning guitar recently, and I said I would show my classmates the results, so why donât we take this opportunity to compete? It doesnât matter who will be the winner. Weâll just have fun.â
After saying that, not even waiting for Skylarâs reaction, Greg got up and walked to the small stage in the middle of the restaurant.
The restaurant held performances every night, so there was a full band set on the stage.
Greg picked up the guitar, skillfully tuned the pitch, and then played it quickly.
A pleasant note reached the ears of the crowd.
A few male students who had learned the guitar knew that such a level of proficiency was definitely not what a beginner should show.
But they didnât intend to expose Greg.
Five minutes later, there was a loud applause.
âGreg, I didnât expect that you have been hiding your talent!â
âYou just learned guitar not long ago, and you can play like this. You are so talented!â
âYes, from what I hear, even professional guitar teachers cannot compete with you!â
A group of people scrambled to be the first to pay compliments.
Ingram did not say anything, but in his heart, he had to admit that just now, Greg really played guitar quite smoothly.
There were even a few handsome moments when the guitar strings were swept.
Greg waved his hand at the crowd and said in a modest manner, âI have no talent. I just spend the most of my time on practice.â
Hearing him say that, a few people even boasted about it in an exaggerated manner.
Valerie, however, remained silent.
âValerie, you are a professional musician. Hurry up and express your opinions!â
Greg spoke with confidence.
Valerie nodded and said, âSo-so.â
The smile on Gregâs face stiffened as he did not expect that the skills he had practiced so hard since childhood was nothing to Valerie.
âSkylar, itâs your turn now.â
Greg turned his gaze to Skylar with resentment.
âI was just playing the guitar casually just now. Letâs see if you can be complimented by the school beauty.â
Skylar said indifferently, âI donât play the guitar.â
âThen, what do you know? There are so many instruments on the stage. There should be one that you know, right?â Greg asked meaningfully.
Skylar shook his head. âNeither.â
âNone of that? Youâve really been muddling through these six years, huh!â Greg immediately snickered.
Many people on the scene propped up their heads with the look of waiting to see a good show.
Skylar walked himself to the window, plucked a leaf from the window and smiled. âI really donât know those instruments on the stage, but if anyone wants to listen, I can use this leaf and play a song for you.â
With that, he lifted the leaf in his hand.
âPfft!â
The woman with the heavy makeup burst into laughter.
âSkylar, can leaves blow a tune? Do you think youâre a warrior in a movie? If you lose, you lose. Donât be a disgrace here!â
There were others who wanted to echo the sentiment, but, before they could say anything, they were amazed.
A series of melodious notes came out of Skylarâs mouthâ¦
