Aatrox heard about the singing championship and was somewhat interested. This kind of event was new for him and he likes to compete in competitions. "I'm interested, where can I sign up?"
"After class, I'll send the link to your Instagram. As payment, you can post on your story with my @, thank me for telling you about this championship, and saying that you will participate." Greg said, taking the chance to grow his number of followers by appearing on an Instagram with thousands of followers.
Aatrox thought it would do him no harm and accepted it promptly. Not to mention that posting that would help keep his audience integrated. Since he was still finding out if the public's love for him could be used to help in cultivation, if he approached the public through social networks, it could help him get stronger.
The class went smoothly, during the break, Aatrox's group met to create the schedule for the rest of the music for the presentation. Thomaz was still acting strange and Aatrox noticed that, so he made a mental note to keep an eye on him during the presentation so that he wouldn't do anything to disturb the group.
It was decided that tonight they would finish creating and practicing the music at Thomaz's house again.
When class was over, Aatrox received some messages. First, he saw Greg's and quickly posted on his story about the contest and thanking him. Out of curiosity, Aatrox opened his own profile to see how many followers he had at the time and the number kept rising. Now he was with 93,593 followers, he was impressed by this huge, growing number, in one week he went from a complete nobody to a sub celebrity of the internet with almost one hundred thousand followers on Instagram.
After seeing who had sent the other messages. The group that Jackson had created with all four of them had several message notifications.
[BlackKimmy: SWORDSMAN!! Why didn't you tell us you'd post episode 2 today?]
[Naomi: Episode 2 released today? I'll watch!]
[Jackson: I just watched it, it was really good, the story is getting more and more engaging.]
[BlackKimmy: Yes! Have you guys edited your videos yet? We should post these videos today, to enjoy the Hype that the swordsman is creating in his series.]
[Jackson: You're right, I'm editing mine now. I think I can post it tonight even. You guys think you can do it, too? The ideal way would be if we all put the links to each other's videos in the descriptions.]
[ThatBenjaminGrey: Hello!]
[BlackKimmy: The Swordsman finally decided to show up >:c]
[ThatBenjaminGrey: I was in class; I couldn't stay and check the messages.]
[Jackson: How's your video? Do you think you can post it today?]
[ThatBenjaminGrey: I've never edited a video, but I'm going home now. I'll watch some videos teaching how to edit and I'll post them before 6pm, since I have an appointment at that time.]
[Jackson: Right, I think if we all post the videos first and then Ben posts his, create more hype, since his will be a mystery, generating more subscribers to his channel hoping to see his video, and we'll get more visitors before that, since we'll have videos where he appears.]
[BlackKimmy: You're a genius Jack, now I know why your channel is the only one with over 1 million subscribers out of our group.]
[Naomi: I just finished watching episode 2 now... You need to let me know when you are going to record episode 3, I want to watch it in person to know what will happen.]
[BlackKimmy: Yeah! Also let me know, I want to go see too.]
[Jackson: Don't leave me out!]
[ThatBenjaminGrey: Okay! When I hear we are recording Episode 3, I'll let you know. Your idea was very good Jack, I think it will be the best for everyone.]
They talked about several things until Aatrox got home. When he arrived, the first thing he did was look on YouTube for how to edit videos.
For a God-King, learning that kind of basic thing that gave mortals some difficulty was simple. In just under three hours Aatrox downloaded the editing program, learned how to edit and finished the video. What made the process time-consuming was having to wait for the computer to render the video, since the 2013 computer was not yet so fast for that.
Aatrox left the computer on and dressed to go to Thomaz's house to finish preparing the music.
They had studied more history to make the music better in content and the final product became:
"Fascist Mussolini controlling Italy
Japan, it plans to spread with its military
Hitler and the Nazis want Lebensraum
And appeasement's the preferred policy of Neville Chamberlain
This is World War II
When Hitler invades Poland
Maginot won't do
Instead he'll go through Belgium
France falls, Brits flee to
Dunkirk and bids adieu
Luftwaffe bombs Britain most every single night
But still the Brits hang in, they're ready for a fight
Hitler turns on Russia, but gets played for
Don't you know never to get involved in a, land war in Asia
This is World War II
US will lease and lend
Will not join in, too
Til attacked by Japan
Pearl Harbor brings new
Country into World War II
Allies start island-hopping
Rommel's campaign starts flopping
A Holocaust is going on, and I think you've seen it
Russia keeps Stalingrad and D-Day, the Allies landing
Win the Battle of the Bugle and
Allies meeting up and take Berlin
Still Japan declares that it will fight on
Harry Truman makes the call to drop the world's first atomic bombs
This ends World War II
Carnage never seen before
Tensions rise anew
Immediately a Cold War
Still let's give thanks to
Fact we won World War II"
They were very satisfied with the result since this song could summarize a lot of the Second World War. Now they were only left with the coordination between them when it came to singing so that no one would get out of tone or play the wrong note.
Even if Thomaz wanted to hinder their presentation to humiliate Aatrox, he did not demonstrate this during the practices. Apparently, for the members, the presentation would be perfect tomorrow.
While he was doing the work with the group, Jackson, Kimmy and Naomi had already posted their videos on the Internet, and the audience's feedback scared Aatrox.
