Gamer Superstar - Chapter 105

Chapter 105: [Bonus Chapter] 105 – He knows how to use his weapons
“So who do you think sings better of the two?” Lila asked her agent as she watched the stage with interest.

Through her eyes she could see two generations of singers with similar personalities but completely opposite talents.

“If I had to guess who will win, I would say BlackVelvet, the kid has talent, but since this is a musical battle, if I had to bet on someone, I would bet on Fedrick Davis. The 6 years of experience he has is very important in a stressful situation like this. Their agent said as he cupped his chin with his hand and analyzed the two.

“It makes sense, although BlackVelvet’s talent is high, in a situation like this it’s very likely that Fedrick can handle it better. What do you think, we could get BlackVelvet to sing at the last show after he loses?” Lila made a suggestion that made her agent frown.

“You know Fedrick will be furious if he wins and finds out about this, right?” Her agent asked, looking at her.

But Lila just shrugged and replied. “So what? He’s going to do what? Give up one of the only chances he has to get out of D rank?”

Her agent sighed and replied. “You know what, if you want, I can arrange it for you.”

Smiling, Lila turned her attention back to the stage and was disappointed to see that Fedrick would be the first to perform.

When she had scheduled the two shows in San Francisco, Lila’s agent had researched the up-and-coming artists and names to look out for in the city.

The surprise to her was that there was a completely unknown name on that list that was almost D Rank!

BlackVelvet.

From his profile on the GAA website, Lila saw that the boy was young, but without a defined age, had an artistic career of almost 2 months, but that in just those 2 months he had already risen to 130k subscribers on MeTube and 70k followers on Instabram, a rise as fast as a rocket!

Not to mention his rank, which went from the bottom of the F rank to near the top of the E rank in less than 60 days.

Has this ever happened before? Yes, of course it has.

If you take an A Rank artist and get them to record a song with an unknown person, that person will easily be in the E Rank in just a week, but the amazing thing about BlackVelvet is that he climbed all by himself.

Not only did he not collaborate with other artists bigger than him, he didn’t collaborate with anyone!

This kid was a complete unknown to Lila, so when she found out she would be singing after him tonight, she decided to get to the bar early to watch a show before his and then his after to compare if the kid was as good as the rumors made him out to be.

She liked what she saw on MeTube, but Lila wanted to see his show in person.

So when she came backstage and saw the fight between BlackVelvet and a D-Rank artist, she thought it would be even better to start this fight between them and have them fight each other.

As for who would open her show, she obviously had names in mind, but they were people she could always cancel in favor of such interesting entertainment as she was going to see tonight.

“Good evening everyone, I’m glad you came tonight, the night I’m doing my first Music Battle of the year haha, so I hope you enjoy it.” Fedrick said with a friendly smile on his face as he stood on stage, but still maintaining the sledgehammer attitude he based his image on.

When he started to sing, Lila had to admit that Fedrick’s vocal and musical quality was very good, as good as an average C-rank artist, which made her even more disappointed that there was a possibility of BlackVelvet winning.

If it weren’t for Fedrick’s personality, it was almost certain that he would be in the C rank by now, but he can’t handle frustration well and it always ends up making him fight with people he shouldn’t be fighting with.

I just hope that BlackVelvet can at least put on a good show…’ Lila thought a little worriedly as she watched Fedrick’s three songs.

The audience loved him and Lila knew that this was going to be a difficult show for BlackVelvet.

Fedrick had stage experience, singing experience, musical battle experience, guitar experience, life experience… he knew very well how to deal with different situations like this and would not be shaken by the battle that came out of nowhere.

But when the kid stepped on stage, Lila was shocked to see that he wasn’t the least bit nervous.

“Hey guys, I’m BlackVelvet and yes, I’m a little nervous about the musical battle we’re going to do today, haha.” He said with a friendly smile on his face that made Lila sigh in surprise.

He’s smart, knowing that confidence would look like arrogance against a singer like Fedrick, he preferred the humble approach to win the audience’s sympathy, even though he obviously wasn’t nervous at all… Lila quickly realized BlackVelvet’s intention and had to admit that he was good. He knows how to use his good looks very well… if it was an ugly man doing this, people would think he was just a poor sod who got dragged into a music battle and now didn’t know how to get out of it, but because he is a handsome young boy, people’s first instinct, especially the girls, is to take him in…’

“Wooooah!!!” As an incentive to help BlackVelvet overcome his nervousness, the audience clapped and shouted excitedly, clearly showing that BlackVelvet’s intention had worked perfectly.

This made Lila even more curious about the boy.

He knows what his weapons are and how to use them… BlackVelvet… BlackVelvet… I’m getting more and more curious about you and what you’re going to present to me at this concert…’ Lila thought with a smile as she looked at BlackVelvet on stage as he prepared to play his first song.
