The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers once again, showing their genuine admiration for Jason Phillips' performance.
The judges began scoring Jason Phillips' display. Dean Bruce watched him from the side of the stage, deep in thought. He knew that the upcoming rounds would only get more intense and exciting, and he would need to pull out all the stops to ensure his students would win this competition.
"Is there anyone else who wishes to perform?" a voice from the judges' table asked.
Dean Bruce stood up and made his way to the stage. He knew it was his turn to step back into the spotlight.
"Go for it, Dean!" Prolo Hawthorne, Alice, and Delina Reba cheered him on from the audience.
Dean Bruce smiled and nodded in acknowledgment before stepping onto the stage. Standing in the center, he took a deep breath and began to chant his incantation.
"Little rabbit, little rabbit, open the door, hurry and open it, I want to come in."
