Chapter 136 136 - Two events?!

I said goodbye to the group of classmates I'd made in drama class, got on my bike and rode home under the curious eyes of the girls as they watched me ride away.

After class, Charlie went to meet her friends and Laura finally let go of my hand before saying goodbye to me, saying she had other things to do as well.

When I got home, Ethan and Liv had already arrived from school, so they both came to ask me all about the new school, while my mother also came to hear about things.

When I told them that most of the students were already artists, with many being the same rank as me and some even being D-rank artists, they were very surprised.

I also told them about the acting class, but didn't comment on Laura holding my hand all the time.

As for Charlie, Ethan was shocked to hear that I was studying with Tony's sister, the little boy he had a rivalry with at school.

"So if you see Tony on the street, don't be too aggressive with him like the day we rode our bikes, okay? His sister was with him and saw you two fighting." I said as I ruffled his hair.

Seeing that I hadn't asked him to stop fighting, just not to fight in public, Ethan broke into a big smile as he nodded.

But there was a problem.

"What is this about, Ethan?" my mother asked suspiciously.

Hearing my mother's question, Ethan froze as he looked at me with a desperate look on his face.

"RIP buddy..." I said as I walked back to my room, leaving Ethan with Helicopter Lauren's conversation.

With the improvement I'd had at school, this left me with very little time to practice acting at home, which, if it happened to be the same with singing, would leave me with few skills to practice at home, which would give me more free time to rest and enjoy my time editing my videos or answering comments.

The only thing I still needed to practice at home was my Guitar skill, but with so much free time, it wouldn't be a problem to study it on my own so it wouldn't fall behind.

After seeing the 80% buff, I regretted not signing up for instrument lessons.

I guess I can look into it later.

[Selena sent me a strange message.

[I sent it back. [The after-school lessons were really good, so much so that I feel like I was learning twice as fast and half as hard as when I was practicing on my own].

[Hehe, I thought you'd feel that way, the school is really very good]. She sent. [I've arranged for you to perform at two more weddings in San Jose on Friday and Saturday, so if you have any extra classes on Friday, you better let the teacher know in advance that you'll be missing them].

Nodding my head, I replied. [Two weddings in one week? Okay!]

I actually had an after-school class on Friday, I would have drama on Monday and Wednesday, singing on Tuesday and Friday, and dance on Thursday.

I chose this schedule so that I wouldn't miss the only dance class of the week if there were shows on Friday, or so that I wouldn't miss the acting classes that I felt I needed more than singing.

With my current level in Sing, I didn't see a problem with how it was growing.

Even if I missed one lesson a week, my growth would still be infinitely greater than that of other artists at my level.

As an E-class artist, my singing skill at Lv 36 was already much higher than my rank required, but my acting skill, which was only at Lv 5, was far below the level I needed.

Not to mention, I was about to move up to D rank, where I would finally need the Acting skill, so it was imperative that I get it up as soon as possible.

Dancing was a necessity, but not as great as Acting.

The next day, when I arrived at the school on my motorcycle, a few heads turned to look at me, and surprisingly, a few people waved at me.

When I looked closely at those people, they were students from the drama class, so I waved back and went to my classroom.

When I got to the classroom, Evelyn waved at me and I waved back with a smile.

While she was chatting with some of her friends, I just went to the back of the room and sat in a secluded spot.

Julian didn't have this class with me, so I just sat there answering comments on my cell phone and waiting for the physics teacher to arrive.

Today I had Physics and Spanish, another class that was also very useful for me.

But while I was typing on my phone, I felt someone nudge my shoulder.

I looked up curiously to see Laura staring at me with a slow expression on her face.

"Good morning Laura." I said smiling.

"Good morning Noah." She replied as she sat down in the chair next to mine. "Have you improved your acting?"

"Nah, I didn't practice when I got home, I had to practice my guitar and edit my next video for my channel." I explained and got a nod from her.

"Are you the one who edits your videos?" She asked, genuinely interested.

"Yes... I'm still learning, there are a lot of things I want to do but I don't know how, but little by little I'm getting better." I said smiling.

"Your vlogs are very good, of course your songs too, but I like the vlogs more because I see how you deal with the audience." She said excitedly.

"Because I use acting to interact with the audience, right?" I asked.

"Yep." She replied. "It's nice to see your improvement in interacting with the public. I used to feel that it was just me that was improving so fast, but when I saw you perform yesterday, I realized that maybe it wasn't just me."

Hearing her say that, a cold sweat ran down my back. "I'm a fast learner."

"Yeah... a fast learner." She looked at me suspiciously.

But at least she didn't want to spend the whole lesson holding my hand again.

Although I would have loved to hold her hand, when my Physics skill went up a level, she became alert and eyed me suspiciously again.

I don't know how she did it, but she sensed when one of my skills went up a level, as if she made some kind of audible alarm.

The advantage was that since she wasn't as good at physics as she was at acting, she couldn't see my improvement as clearly.

My Intermediate Physics was already around Lv34, which I noticed was a few levels above her.

On the questions she was unsure of, I helped her without too much difficulty, which unconsciously brought us closer together, making it easier for us to speak quietly and hear each other during the lesson.

When the lesson was over, we realized that we wouldn't have any more lessons together that day, so she invited me to have lunch with her.

Explaining that I was going to have lunch with Julian and possibly Evelyn, I told her that and she said she'd join us for lunch then.

Smiling, I nodded and went to my next class, Spanish.

My Spanish was at Lv 16, a level that represented mastery for someone who had studied it for two years.

It wasn't a very high level, but enough for me to be able to converse with another person in Spanish, but considering that I wanted to learn this language to mastery, thinking about the future to gain even more of an audience, taking it to the next level was essential.

Since I could take two foreign language classes, the other language I chose to learn was Korean.

From what I had analyzed of this world, the Korean music industry was just starting to come to the West, and there were no groups as famous as BTS from my old world in this current world.

The most famous group was a girl group who, although they were A-rank artists in Korea, were still D-rank artists in the world.

Unlike BTS from my previous world, who were probably S rank worldwide.

So learning Korean now would be a good way to get good opportunities for collaborations in the future, as well as being one of the few international artists who could speak their language, which could possibly open many doors for me there as well.

I was interested in expanding my fame in Asia after consolidating my position in America, so Korea and Japan would be my first stops, both because they are smaller countries and easier to stand out in, and also because although China is the biggest potential market, it would be very difficult to break into there, something I could only consider at the end of my career.

But that thought aside, when I walked into the Spanish classroom, I smiled when I saw Charlie smiling and waving at me.

So I waved back and was about to walk over to where she was sitting and sit down next to her, but someone inconveniently sat down next to her before me.

It wouldn't have bothered me if someone else had just sat there, but what bothered me was that Charlie was obviously bothered by it, and the boy sitting there was staring at me.

This spoiled attitude gave me an idea of who this boy was.
