Chapter 134 134 - Laura Miller

Luckily, the regular class was over in no time.

The school's schedule was such that half of the classes were normal classes, while the classes after recess were extracurricular classes where students could learn about the specifics of their careers.

To attend these classes, students had to sign up for them when they enrolled, although they could change classes every month if they didn't like them.

I signed up for three different classes: singing, acting, and dancing.

I also had the option to study instruments, but those instrument classes were more focused on classical music instruments, which was a waste of time for me.

So I just wanted to try these three main classes.

I didn't even have to explain why I wanted to sing.

I was already learning acting on my own at home, but I still felt that learning it would be very useful for my future career.

Both for learning how to make commercials, for how I would act on stage for my audience, for use in my videos, and especially if I were to venture into the field of movies or TV series, having well-developed acting skills was essential.

This was something I noticed from the girls' conversations about Korean artists at my old school in my previous world.

Usually, they would debut as a musical group together, but in order to increase their individual popularity, they would work on various TV shows, either acting as soap opera characters or participating in reality shows.

As for dancing, it was something I learned more out of curiosity and personal satisfaction.

I know I didn't need to know how to dance so much since I was playing guitar on stage, but dancing was something I had always wanted to know...

Although I was able to get with girls in my previous world, I was never able to do so because I knew how to dance, or danced well.

So not knowing how to dance was always like a knot in me that I wanted to untie by learning to dance.

When I told Evelyn that I had signed up for a dance class, she was very excited and asked if I was going to dance today.

But looking at my schedule, I would only have dance class tomorrow, with today reserved for acting class, which left her a little disappointed, but she was still excited about us doing an extracurricular class together.

"Now all you have to do is say you can paint?" Julian asked jokingly after hearing me confirm that I was going to dance with Evelyn.

I looked at him with a smile and replied. "Yes, but I'm only good at digital art."

Upon hearing this, Julian was shocked. "Are you kidding me?!"

Smiling, I took out my phone and showed him a drawing I'd done of the character BlackVelvet, but in a slightly different style than JacobTheWerewolf.

Seeing the drawing of my character on my phone, Julian and Evelyn were surprised.

"Why didn't you sign up for an art class?" He asked incredulously.

I just shook my head. "I'm not interested in keeping it as my focus, although I like painting, it's never ignited a passion in me."

I'd even stopped selling art like Jacob, since it took up an hour or two a day that I could use to improve other skills or rest.

"Too bad... if you need help with anything related to painting, you can talk to me..." He said disappointedly as he handed me his cell phone.

I nodded in agreement.

Evelyn's eyes lit up next to mine as she looked at the drawing and at me in a way that made it hard to understand what she was thinking.

Soon the break was over and we said goodbye to go to our extracurricular classes after exchanging phone numbers.

I think I was lucky to meet both of them, as they were both nice people who had similar interests to me, but in different areas, which made for much nicer conversations than any I'd had with the students at my old school.

The acting class was in the school theater.

As soon as I entered the theater, I received a message.

[Good Acting Classroom + Good Acting Teacher:

Effect: +80% (60% classroom + 20% teacher) bonus when learning acting related content.

Duration: While you're in the classroom (while the teacher is teaching)].

Looking at my [Acting Mastery Lv 5] skill, which was still at a measly level 5, I wondered how fast the level of this skill would increase in this class.

"Hello, can I help you?" A curious voice came from behind me, startling me slightly and causing me to turn around to see a small girl, no taller than 5 feet tall, with black hair, bright green eyes, and very well-groomed white skin, staring at me in confusion with a slightly slow expression.

If it weren't for her well-proportioned body, with large breasts, a slim waist and wide hips, I would have thought this girl was a child.

"Hi, I'm here for my first acting class." I explained patiently.

As soon as I said that, her eyes lit up and she held my hand as she asked excitedly.

"Are you a new student?" She asked as she stared at me.

"Yes...?" I replied, a little unsure why she was acting so excited.

"So you must be BlackVelvet?" She asked even more excitedly.

"Does everyone know about me?" I sighed, not knowing how to respond.

"Yes!" she replied excitedly. "How cool that you came to learn acting with us! I'm Laura Miller, the acting group leader, so if you have any questions you can ask me."

Nodding my head and flashing a smile, I introduced myself. "I'm Noah Black, or as you know him, BlackVelvet."

Laura nodded, still holding my hand and looking at me curiously.

Our height difference made it very funny, as she was only 5'2" while I was 6'0", which made her head sit between the height of my stomach and my chest.

I noticed her eyes roaming all over my body, but rather than being aroused or attracted, I noticed it was more genuine curiosity.

She looked at my body, my arm muscles, my neck, my face, my hair, all while apparently analyzing me for some reason I couldn't understand.

"Ms. Miller, who are you bothering today?" A bored voice came from behind us, causing me to turn around to see a man with an unkempt beard, who had obviously slept very little last night, looking at us with disinterest.

"This is the new student in our class, Mr. Anderson, Noah Black, I'm analyzing him to see if he's a good actor." She explained with a smile, but without taking her eyes off me.

This made the teacher curious."Mr. Black, have you ever had any acting training?"

I looked at him, ignoring Laura who was staring at me. "Yes, but not much, I only practiced for 5 months before I came to the Oakland Arts Academy. "

He showed no disappointment and nodded. "At least you're not a complete beginner."

As soon as he said that, he walked away and sat down on a chair in the corner of the stage, waiting for the rest of the students to arrive.

Surprisingly, the other students were surprised by Laura, but not for the reason I had imagined.

Instead of being surprised that she was holding my hand, they were surprised that she was holding it for so long.

Apparently Laura did this with all the new students, but she didn't hold anyone's hand for more than 30 seconds, while she held mine for at least 5 minutes while continuing to stare at me in surprise.

"How did you develop your body like that?" She asked in a shocked voice. "I can't feel the limit in you..."

"Limit?" I asked confused.

"Yes, Laura says she can sense the limit in people when she analyzes their bodies. Although it's a strange skill to have, she got it right most of the time with the students. The longer she held someone's hand, the greater the limit they had, which corresponded very well with the results of the lessons.

One boy explained to me a little frustrated.

Maybe his limit was low? Or was he just jealous that she held my hand for so long?

I only let Laura hold my hand for so long because of her pleasant personality and obviously good looks.

Although she was quite small, the girl had a beautiful body and a face worthy of a famous actress, as well as a soft hand that was very pleasant to hold.

While she was holding my hand, I started talking to the other actors and warming up with them.

From what I found out by talking to them, in this group of 30 people, there were 6 E-rank performers and only one D-rank performer.

To my surprise, the only D-rank performer was Laura, who had been holding my hand and looking at me curiously.

She had started her acting career as a child actress with a few appearances in smaller movies, and had grown as she gained more career space until she became a C Rank Artist.

The problem was that she stopped growing, and this began to limit the roles she could get, which caused her popularity to dwindle over time until she fell back to the D rank.

But that didn't affect her too much.

"I'm going to improve my acting skills to the point where they'll want to put me in any role I want in any movie, regardless of my size." She said confidently, making me raise an eyebrow and reevaluate this little girl.

Although she was small and sometimes acted childish, I could tell that she had a lot of experience in this field and that she was very mature inside.

"I'm sorry Mr. Anderson, my friends delayed me a bit to tell me some important news and I just got here..." A breathless voice came from the door, making everyone look at the source of the voice with curiosity.

Being one of the tallest, even though there were a few people between me and the door, I could see over them that the person who had said this was a very pretty girl, with long brown hair and light eyes, a delicate white complexion, and her face wearing only light makeup.

But what surprised me was that I found this girl very familiar.
