Genius Manager: I Can Make All Girls Talented!

Darius who had no idea that Tristan had arrived in town and was currently on his way to the make-up caravan where he would get ready for his first scene.

In the past days, he had practiced quite a bit the script for the movie and since he had a very powerful skill. He didn't quite need to remember every single line from it as the skill would play the role on its own. Darius would only have to sit back and relax, which was exactly what he wanted.

After all, Darius didn't have any talent in acting. The only reason he had been chosen for the role was because of the skill Ariel had given him. Actually, if Darius's skill were to malfunction then he would be expose as a fraud for sure.

Nevertheless, there was no point in thinking of such things since they wouldn't happen. There was no reason for Darius's skill to malfunction. In fact, his comprehension of the main lead of the story had reached a whooping point of 100%. He understood the main character of the story perfectly because of how much he had read the script.

He knew every little thing about him.

That's why when both Darius and Aurora left, the make-up caravan completely changed. Darius had a serious look on his face. He wasn't thinking of playing with Aurora anymore since he needed to play in the movie and show everyone watching that he deserved the role instead of Tristan.

Because Chloe, the director, had accepted for Darius to replace Tristan. However, the same couldn't be said about the rest of the actors, which is why Darius wanted to make a good first impression.

A good impression could go a long way in such a setting. After all, there was no point in the actors nearby trusting Darius to be extremely good. In fact, apart from Chloe, Aurora, and Clara, no one had seen him act.

Actually, ever since Darius had left the vehicle with Clara and Aurora, he had felt annoyed gazes from pretty much everywhere. There were also murmurs about him, and since Darius had decided to be arrogant, he had no choice but to prove everyone wrong in the very first scene he would take part in.

The first scene of the movie was actually quite special as it was a monologue from the main character.

The main character had just killed his own parents with his bare hands and was now talking as he was dissecting them. It wasn't an easy scene to perform, and everyone knew that. That's why everyone was looking forward to seeing Darius's skill.

After all, the role he had been chosen for was hard. Acting as some kind of sociopath was definitely one of the hardest roles someone could take on.

However, Darius was determined, and once he stepped onto the stage, he felt everyone looking at him with wide-open eyes.

"Will he really be as good as the rumors?" An actor whispered a few meters away.

"Is he actually better than Tristan?"

"Silence," Chloe suddenly uttered as she kept hearing those murmurs. She knew that Darius needed to focus on the task that would be coming next.

Darius stood in the middle of the cameras as he took a deep breath. The scene had already been prepared for him to perform. All he needed to do next was…act.

'Activate [Role-Play].'

Right away, the skill he so desperately needed for the scene activated, and Darius was sent to the back of his mind as he could only observe how his body would act in this scene. He was actually just as curious as everyone else about how he would do.

On the ground were his two parents, with their throats slashed, and the only thing Darius did before the cameras started rolling was have a nasty smirk on his face.

"First take!" Chloe shouted as the clapper board resounded loudly throughout the environment they were currently in.

It was time for Darius to let his body take control and act to the best of its abilities, and that's exactly what he did.

His body moved on its own as it started licking its lips.

"Ah…finally," he said almost in a whisper. "I finally got rid of them!"

A hysterical giggle suddenly came out of his mouth as he grabbed the knife off the ground and started playing around with the body of his parents.

Darius wasn't even the one playing the scene, and he felt weird about how this situation played out. Everything felt so real for him. Every word that came out of his mouth practically scared him. One thing was sure: Darius had managed to convince everyone about his abilities.

Because as soon as the Clap sound resounded, everyone stopped breathing, unable to look away from him and his every little movement.

Then, after a few minutes, the scene was finally over, and Darius deactivated the skill right away, taking control of his body once more.

"Cut!"

Darius's dark persona instantly vanished as he turned toward Chloe with a bright smile. "So, how was it?"

Chloe didn't say anything as her mouth just opened wide. 'H-How is he able to switch into character so easily? Is he really self-taught…?'

A bunch of questions appeared in her mind as she simply couldn't believe just how talented the young man in front of her actually was.

"I-It was… great."

Darius looked around and he could see that everyone was in the same state as Chloe, which meant that he had accomplished his goal.

He had made one hell of a good impression, and all of his haters had suddenly disappeared as loud cheers were now heard all around him.

Darius had done it.

He had managed to make everyone forget about Tristan in a single scene.

Everyone was now convinced that he was the right man for the job, as they had never expected a rookie to act in such a way.

"It was absolutely mind-blowing."

'Just where the hell was a monster like you hiding…?' Chloe thought in the back of her mind as Darius started walking toward her as if nothing had happened. 'And the craziest thing about all this is that he doesn't even understand just how talented he is…'
