CHAPTER 671: CHAPTER 424: SETTING OFF, KELLER CUP!

"Deng deng deng----"

Two classmates ran through the corridors of the teaching building, rushing from the fourth floor straight to the first floor.

Under the organization and isolation by the student council officers present, at this moment, outside the teaching building, a large group of students gathered. They all came to the entrance upon learning about today’s performance. However, to control the flow of people entering the teaching building, they were isolated outside and could not witness the performance directly.

At this moment, the crowd was bustling, and everyone was nervously discussing, debating the results of the ensemble.

The two classmates burst out of the front door of the teaching building, panting and holding their knees in front of everyone.

Then, they looked up and shouted:

"Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu... won!!"

In an instant,

The crowd erupted, everyone cheering.

As the excitement flooded over, many gradually came to understand the opposing reality:

—— Dean Tuoba and Elder Gan, lost!

This news quickly spread everywhere among the excited and shocked students following the on-site results.

Regardless of whether they were present on site, everyone learned about this matter immediately.

Within the Tianchao Music University, which gathers future musical talents nationwide, this news was like a nuclear bomb, awakening every student whether they were interested in the ensemble or not.

"Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu... Is it true... Did they really win the ensemble??"

"Dean Tuoba is a legend, a legend! Lin Tian actually defeated that legend!!"

"This is terrifying; it wasn’t what anyone imagined."

"After all, it’s retirement age, Dean Tuoba is failing too."

"Originally thought it would be more intense, but now it seems like a complete dominance!"

"Gan Yanyu can now be considered as surpassing the master!"

...

To the students, this was truly an unbelievable event.

The two young people aged 19 defeated two highly respected seniors in the music world, one of whom was revered as a god of conducting by numerous music students.

Even though Moonlight and Cat had proven their skills in many previous competitions, it was hard for some music students to accept this occurrence.

After all, music isn’t sports competition, where the younger you are, the stronger you perform. Often, what is more valued is one’s understanding and foundation in music.

But now, the fact is that this is indeed what happened!

The friendly exchange between Moonlight and Cat was not broadcasted online nor took outside their circle.

It was just an ordinary, small ensemble, without publicity or hype, in an inconspicuous classroom, thus only creating a buzz within the Music Academy.

But it’s only the music students who know what this seemingly ordinary performance signifies.

As soon as the event unfolded, there were all sorts of comments on the campus forum and Weibo.

[It must be because Elder Gan retired 16 years ago and is out of practice! Otherwise, how could they fail?]

[I think they might have let them win! After all, Moonlight and Cat are about to head out, building confidence is important!]

[Would Dean Tuoba let anyone win? Don’t be ridiculous!]

...

[If even Dean Tuoba loses, what can we still believe in?]

Seeing this question, many students fell silent for a moment.

Because they know the person asking this question is a student from Tuoba Jianhui’s conducting class.

Many know that Tuoba Jianhui taught classical music knowledge to his conducting class students.

This is probably the most internally conflicted class in the whole academy.

The students with weak resolve constantly ponder whether everything they are learning now is meaningful. Will their classical music truly have a future?

These issues have haunted the students day after day, year after year.

Once, they constantly offered themselves solace over and over inwardly.

Believe in Mr. Tuoba!

—— Mr. Tuoba will surely guide them toward a brighter future.

Most of them joined because of their immense admiration for Dean Tuoba’s orchestra.

Especially that then world-renowned number-one classical music orchestra.

That generation was the classical music awakening for many students.

So, even though Mr. Tuoba no longer leads a classical music orchestra and now conducts pop music on stage,

the students know that Mr. Tuoba merely places everything onto them, this group of students.

Believe in Mr. Tuoba, he surely... can surely lead them out of the shadows.....

Many had carried on with such belief.

However, starting from a month ago.

Tuoba Jianhui began facing de facto ostracism from the association, many of his classes were suspended, and attacks on him online increased.

Until recently, he also temporarily canceled the lessons with the conducting class he had been protecting.

The students felt a strong sense of confusion.

Now, upon learning about Tuoba Jianhui’s defeat.

More people were already in a dazed state.

Can they really still believe in Dean Tuoba?

If there’s no Tuoba Jianhui, whom should they trust? Who would lead them to persist in their classical music.....

[Isn’t the answer obvious?]

A young teacher responded below them.

He merely voiced the answer everyone had been too anxious and hesitant to affirm in their hearts.
