Chapter 1514 - 1021: Mindless and Unhappy_3
The saying "In literature, there’s no first place; in martial arts, there’s no second place," is precisely like this. Novels, paintings, music—once they reach a certain level, evaluation becomes entirely subjective, based solely on feelings.
It’s not like sports or martial arts, where the first place is indisputable. The standards are clear, and everyone can see them.
This is also why many singing competitions face controversy. Clearly, the public thinks A sings better, but the judges announce B as the champion. Their justification? Professionalism, technical skills... But the audience doesn’t understand that stuff, right? I only feel A sings better. If you don’t award A, then there’s something shady going on!
Honestly speaking, Duanmu Huai finds this kind of ambiguous and unclear selection process the most annoying.
Thankfully, he doesn’t need to offer his opinion this time either. He just has to stand in the back like an accessory. The main scoring is handled by Teacher Long.
Of course, the final result was as Mary predicted: Kousaka Rina was chosen for the trumpet solo.
Initially, Duanmu Huai thought that was the end of it. After this, all he’d need to do was participate in the competition, and his miserable days would finally be over.
However...
"I can’t accept this!"
"......"
Damn it, as Duanmu Huai approached the music room door and heard the hysterical yelling coming from inside, he was speechless.
