The pieces performed by the first few contestants were all standard and unremarkable.
The scores given by the judges were also reasonable.
Currently, the highest score was from the fourth contestant, a girl, with an average of ninety-four points.
Compared to past competitions, this couldn't be considered a very high score. It was clear that the real masters had yet to perform.
The scoring ended.
The host went on stage to announce the next contestant, "Next up is Mei Shu, a student from Class 6 of Grade 3 at No. 1 High School of Lin City. She is a new face in piano competitions. Let's welcome her with applause."
As the host's voice fell, thunderous applause erupted, and some students even excitedly stood up and waved towards the stage.
Mei Shu walked to the stage, her gaze naturally falling on the noisiest area of the audience, where she saw a few faces that seemed familiar. She smiled gently in their direction.
