Sunny did a great performance that earn him a huge points taking him to the next round. The Talent Exhibition event is a show where only the skilled ones survive, this is not a competition of some sort, it's just a show of different careers where the skilled ones get picked for the next show while the less skillful are dismissed.
But in a sense it's also a competition.
They're being awarded points based on their performance and a machine is designed just to do that for them, to record their performance and award points.
For the first round, someone must be awarded a point above five to be qualified for the next round, anybody with a lower point will be eliminated, there are different careers that their skill will be display by the students and anyone that manage to get to the final stage will be taken by different companies or team, based on their profession, even without them winning the event, they only need to get to the final stage.
Skills on Music, Drama, Writing, Art and Crafts, Football and other sports with some many professions will be displayed.
Some of them have gotten points below five with their poor display of skills and have been eliminated while some of them got more than 5 and a few even got 8 points. A girl had unexpectedly got 11 points with a musical performance, everyone was surprised, the highest points they have gotten so far is 8 but the girl had came up with a great performance and leaped up by getting 11 points.
To Emmy and Sunny's surprised, she's the girl who had sit with them on the first day of the elimination stage and the girl Emmy met in the library during the exploration who they found out her name is Linda and from Nara City.
Emmy got a little scared after seeing her score, he knew Sunny will come with a great performance but Emmy have already boosted that he would get the highest point with the number of skills in his system, but he needs to be careful, because any performance or skill he display in the first round, he must show something greater than that in the second round as the required points from the machine will also increase so higher level of skills must be displayed.
And now seeing the strange girl get 11 points with her angelic voice and great performance, he needs to think very well on the skills he would show, thankfully for him, his performance is delayed till the next day with some other people so he had a lot of time to think.
Sunny is the last performer for the day and has already gotten unto the stage with a nonchalant expression on his face as everyone stare in awe, the participants and audience seats boom in applaud even with him not having done anything.

Somewhere among the participants, the girl who had been everyone's center of attention moment ago stare at Sunny on the stage with her face slightly matching the color of her red dress.
"This boy might steal my heart if I'm not careful, I should first listen to his song."
Linda thought, Sunny's appearance had attracted her two days ago during the elimination round but she had composed herself, but now seeing him being a music enthusiasm just like her, she thought they might make a great combo on the stage but first, she needs to see and listen to what he can do with the speaker, so she could know if they can make a great music together.

Standing on the white stage in a black dress, black raven hair and alabaster skin with the mic held in his right hand, Sunny speaks into the mic calmly.
"Alright, everyone listen."
"Attention please, I need your total attention here because it's about to go crazy."
"Alright."
*Once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to play,
Went face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Made memories we knew would never fade,*
*One day, my mother, she told me, "Son, don't let it slip away"
She took me in her arms, I heard her say;
"When you get older your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid"
She said, "One day, you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember"
My mother told me when I was just a child
"These are the nights that never die"
My mother told me.....*
*When thunderclouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
Carve your name into those shining stars"
She said, "Go venture far beyond the shores
Don't forsake this life of yours
I'll guide you home no matter where you are"
One day, my mother, she told me, "Son, don't let it slip away"
When I was just a kid, I heard her say
"When you get older your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid"
She said, "One day, you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember"
My mother told me when I was just a child
"These are the nights that never die"
My mother told me...
"These are the nights that never die"
My mother told me....*
(A SONG BY AVICII)
"Thank you all."

The whole stage boom and the audience couldn't help but scream as Sunny ended his performance, the number on the machine started rising, moving fast non stop until it eventually stopped at 18, signaling that the performance has earn Sunny a total of 18 points.
"Wow wow wow, this is just too great."
The organizer said, rising to his feet.
"Listen ladies and gentlemen, with this extraordinary performance, I want you all to know that participant Sunny have automatically qualified to the third round of the middle stage, meaning he don't need to participate in the second round."
The organizer declared, making everywhere boom in applaud and cheers.

"Idiot, why will you make such a great performance at the first round, you know you must do something better than that in the next round."
Emmy said as he walk out of the arena with Sunny.
"You should know better than anyone that I have something cool in store than this, and also, the organizer made it clear now that I've qualify to the next round so i think you should care about yourself."
Sunny replied.
"Oh yes, I just thought you would use one of those your recorded song, don't know you're coming with something new."
"Congratulations boy, I must admit, you're quite a great musician, that performance is too great for a loner like you."
A feminine voice said from the side and when they both turn their heads, a girl was walking towards them.
"Ah, this bitch again."
Emmy said, annoyed.
"Thanks, you did a great performance too, bye."
Emmy replied in place of Sunny as he dragged him away, not giving the boy a chance to talk.
Linda stare in anger, frustrated.
"Ouch, that hot tempered asshole, he didn't even give him a chance to talk."
If she had known the two better, she would've have know who's hot temper among the two.

"What does that bitch want."
Sunny asked as they finally left the arena.
"Are you asking me?"
Emmy replied, a little bit frustrated.
"Yes because you didn't even give me a chance to reply her."
Sunny retorted back.
"Huh, I said exactly what you're going to tell her, am I wrong?"
Emmy replied.
"Oh well, but I can't help but feel like making a record with her, she got nice voice."
Emmy stare at him, then pushed him back.
"Go meet her then, tell her you like her, you want to take her home."
He said as he started walking away.
"Hey come back here, like her? Take her home? My foot, you must be kidding, making a record with her is all I said."
Sunny screamed as Emmy walk off after teasing him.
