Chereads / MoMo: The Silent Virtuoso / Chapter 17 - The Demon

Chapter 17 - The Demon

Aaron, the enigmatic transfer student, had entered the lives of MoMo, Lilia, and Rukia like a whirlwind. His good looks and charismatic demeanor had captured the attention of the entire student body, and his arrival at Miyagi Music School had brought an air of intrigue and excitement.

From the outside, Aaron appeared to be a friendly and approachable young man. He wore a perpetual smile and engaged in polite conversations with his fellow students. But beneath that façade of amiability lay a burning desire for attention and recognition that few could perceive.

Aaron had heard whispers of MoMo, the deaf pianist who had become a sensation at the school. The thought of someone else stealing the limelight was intolerable to him. He had come to Miyagi Music School with a single goal: to become the center of attention and overshadow MoMo's success.

In the days that followed his arrival, Aaron wasted no time in making his presence felt. He joined various music classes, showcasing his impressive piano skills and vocal talent. His performances were met with enthusiastic applause, and the students were drawn to his charm like moths to a flame.

MoMo, Lilia, and Rukia couldn't help but notice the shift in dynamics at the school. Aaron's magnetic personality had captured the hearts of their peers, and his popularity seemed to grow with each passing day.

One afternoon, as MoMo practiced in the music room, he overheard a group of students discussing Aaron's latest performance. They spoke in hushed tones, their admiration for the newcomer evident.

"I heard Aaron is planning a solo concert," one student said with awe.

"Did you see how effortlessly he played that complex piece?" another added. "He's amazing."

MoMo couldn't deny the pang of jealousy that welled up within him. He had always been a dedicated musician, pouring his heart into his piano performances, and he had grown accustomed to being the center of attention in the music school. The thought of someone else stealing the spotlight unsettled him.

Lilia and Rukia shared MoMo's concern. They had sensed that there was more to Aaron than met the eye, and his sudden rise to fame was suspicious. They decided to dig deeper and uncover the truth behind Aaron's intentions.

One evening, as the trio gathered in their secret practice room, Lilia voiced her suspicions. "There's something off about Aaron. I can't put my finger on it, but his actions feel calculated."

Rukia, always one to embrace intrigue, added, "I've tried to get close to him, but he's good at putting up a front. I can't figure out what he's hiding."

MoMo, though unable to hear their words, could sense the tension in the room. He nodded in agreement, his intuition telling him that there was more to Aaron than met the eye.

The three friends decided to investigate further, keeping a watchful eye on Aaron's interactions and behavior. What they uncovered left them stunned.

One evening, while wandering the school grounds, they stumbled upon Aaron, alone in the music room. He stood before the grand piano, his expression twisted into a malevolent grin that sent shivers down their spines.

"He's not what he seems," Lilia whispered, her voice filled with trepidation.

As they observed Aaron from the shadows, they realized the depth of his deception. He had been secretly plotting to sabotage MoMo's reputation and steal his thunder. He had even gone so far as to tamper with MoMo's sheet music, altering the notes to make it appear as if MoMo had made a grave mistake during a performance.

MoMo, Lilia, and Rukia were appalled by Aaron's treachery. They knew they had to expose his true nature before he could achieve his goal of overshadowing MoMo and tarnishing his reputation.

The chapter ended with a sense of suspense, as MoMo, Lilia, and Rukia faced the daunting task of revealing Aaron's deceit to the school. They were determined to protect MoMo's hard-earned success and ensure that Aaron's true colors were exposed for all to see. The battle for the spotlight had just begun, and the fate of their music school hung in the balance.
