For You

"Daniel." The crowd all seemed to be holding their breath.

"Jupiter."

"Jupiter."

"Jupiter."

"Jupiter."

The crowd instantly started to applause and react to the match, not expecting it to be so one sided.

"Well done Jupiter. This was an original, right?"

"Yes, this is an original, and thank you."

"Your voice was packed with emotion, and your notes were flawless. Even without music to accompany you, the song was absolutely fantastic."

"Thank you very much."

"Daniel, although your performance was great, it did not beat the original song, making your sining less impressive than it is. Your interpretation was not the best, the song was meant to be sung the was it was originally sung. Your control was good enough. Next time, just choose a better song and style."

"Thank you for your advice."

"Now for your prizes. Due to your great skills that are clearly far far far above your current rank, we have decided to promote you to A-rank at the last place. You also get to talk to a visiting star. Draven Lars."

The moment the referee stopped speaking, the crowd started to talk.

"Draven Lars? Did I hear that right? He's here?!!!"

"Don't leave out the fact that Sam just went up to A rank from F rank!"

"This is the biggest prize after Amelia when they gave her S rank!"

"They had good insight. She is the queen of pop! Every post she makes has millions of likes and countless posts! Even if it isn't of her!"

"Does this mean Jupiter is going to become big too? We may just be witnessing history here!"

"Let's go back to Draven. The Prince of Entertainment. Movies, the catwalk, the radio! Even large conglomerates respect him!"

"I hear that they repsect him because he has many things going on in the shadows."

"I like me a bad boy though." ;)

Sam stood on the stage, completely shocked. "Th-Thank you very much for this prize." He gave an grateful smile. The judges felt that as long as Sam promised to smile, he could get anyone to do anything.

"Daniel, for your prize, we have decided to promote you to B rank last place."

"Thank you."

"This signals the end of the tournament. The other people who were in the top 8 will get their prizes delivered by mail. Thank you for coming to watch."

Sam stepped off the stage, Daniel following after.

"Sam, I guess we know who really is the karaoke king."

"Yup! Me!" Sam laughed childishly.

"Yep..."

\u003c\u003e\u003c\u003e\u003c\u003e\u003c\u003e\u003c\u003e\u003c\u003e\u003c\u003e

"You must be Jupiter," he said as looked up and relaxed back into his chair.

"Yes, it is nice to meet you Mr. Lars."

"Nice to meet you too. Don't call me Mr. Lars, it makes me feel old. Just call me Draven."

"Okay, then." Sam shuffled awkwardly.

"Relax, I won't bite. So today, I'll give you some tips and advice. I've already seen your matches and the videos of your mock audition that Martin sent to me."

Sam nodded and then quickly realized something. "Mock audition?"

"Yes, from right before the real ones."

"I'm going to have a nice talk with Martin about recording me without my permission," Sam muttered under his breath. Draven still heard it and chuckled, easing the mood.

"Martin is really... eccentric," he mused.

"Yup. I just don't get what goes on in his head sometimes."

"He always gets mistaken as a pedo or a conman. Sometimes, when he meets up with me, he just complains until I get us back on track." Draven sighed.

"He recruited me and my friend at a karaoke place. We thought he was a conman until we searched him up."

"Smart move. Anyways, let's get back on topic."

They spent the next hour or so talking about how to easily get in and out of character as well as other things.

"So, to look innocent, your eyebrows go down slightly, not like you're angry, and your eyes go wide. Lips slightly parted, but not do you can see teeth. No, look." Draven demonstrated and Sam felt his heart thump a bit.

Sam copied him. "Okay, I got it. Can we try a devilish look next?"

Draven didn't pause to think at all. "Smirk a little, no teeth usually. Chin down slightly, eyes narrowed a little. I'll give you an example." He modeled the expression, and all Sam could think was that he looked incredibly sexy.

His hair slightly covered his eyes, making him seem like a mysterious person. He was akin to a devil who had found it fun to be in the mortal world. He was fucking hot.
