Initially, Linda played the melody of "Jasmine Flower," and then Nancy joined in shortly after, her fingers rapidly dancing across the piano keys. The light and lively beauty of the music, like a magical realm, enveloped everyone, drawing them into her world.

It was as if they were in a fresh and elegant sea of flowers, filled with just one kind of bloom - jasmine flowers.

There was a fairy among the flowers, leaping and twirling on the petals.

She was dancing gracefully and lightly like a sprite, always wearing a joyous smile.

The audience was captivated by her smile, deeply immersed in this world of jasmine, almost able to smell the fresh and ethereal fragrance of the flowers.

Five minutes passed quickly, and as the last note fell, Nancy looked up, exchanging a smile with Linda across the pianos.

They had finished their performance.

Turning around, they were met with silence, no applause; the audience seemed as if frozen in place.

Nancy and Linda were prepared for this.

After all, they were the last to perform, and both the judges and audience were likely numbed by then.

Linda shrugged at Nancy, and then both stood up and walked to the front of the stage, holding hands, bowing deeply to the audience.

Even without applause, they were grateful to the audience for enduring their tiredness to listen to their performance.

But just as they bowed, a thunderous applause suddenly erupted, sweeping through the hall like a storm.

"Clap, clap, clap…"

"Clap, clap, clap…"

Whistles and cheers followed, "So beautiful! So wonderful! My goodness, I can't believe I'm hearing such delightful music!"

"Worth the wait! Absolutely worth it!"

"I didn't expect, after hours of waiting, to finally hear music that touched me. It's incredible, I'm so excited!"

As the applause started, the four judges on the panel clapped enthusiastically, standing up in unison. Not just David, but all three other judges were excitedly applauding.

Zach's internal shock was greater than anyone else's. He had already jumped to his feet, exclaiming loudly, "Bravo! That's the sound of heaven!"

When the first thunderous applause rang out, Nancy and Linda were startled.

Both quickly raised their heads, incredulous at the sight before them.

Linda's mouth hung open in surprise, "Nan, what's happening? I'm scared!"

Nancy had experienced such moments before. She licked her lips and laughed awkwardly, "Maybe they just didn't react right away when the music ended."

"Ah, what?"

Linda turned to Nancy, half laughing, half crying, "Didn't react? Were they so lost in our music?"

Nancy chuckled, "Maybe. Linda, let's go, it's time to leave the stage."

The two girls, hand in hand, excitedly left the stage. They hadn’t walked far when suddenly, they felt a malicious gaze. Turning, they saw Rivata glaring fiercely at them.

Everyone else was applauding, but her glaring eyes stood out discordantly...
