The clock is eight o'clock at night. The stage area is already filled with people who want to watch the grand event that will determine the campus princess for the next year. The contest event began.
On the stage the host who will guide the final round began to introduce five judges who are representatives of the five big families in the city of B. They are Devano's father, Ezra's mother, Arsen's father, Erika's father and Exel's.
Hearing the names of the so-called hosts, Keysa's guts shrieked. He felt himself losing. "If they are the judges, I'm not sure I will win" he muttered, biting a finger. However, Keysa also did not accept that he had to lose just because they were judges—the people who were pro to Liza. "Come, Key! Don't lose before the war. You definitely can. You must have won, too." Keysa encouraged himself.
When Keysa was upset by the presence of people who would be judges, suddenly a message entered his phone.
[I'm on your side. I will definitely choose you.]
Exel sent a message to Keysa, making the girl's forehead wrinkle as she read the message. Keysa did not know the purpose of Exel sending such a message and preferred himself over his own relatives. However, at least the message can add to Keysa's confidence that had shrunk.
The participants advanced in order, then displayed their talents within a minute. Before the participants performed, the judges first presented a video on the big screen located behind the participants. The screen displays the performances of the participants from the first round to the finish.
"The next "partner is Liza Aurora. For the participants are welcome to go on stage and show your charm." The host called Liza who was the participant who would perform next.
Liza confidently took to the stage and displayed her abilities in one minute. Everyone praised her stunning appearance.
Liza was finished, now it was Keysa's turn to be called to the stage. Though a little hesitant, Keysa took to the stage. Damar looks very surprised when he sees Keysa performing on stage. It was not Keysa's appearance that surprised Damar, but rather the appearance of someone who was on the big screen.
"That kid? Is he really Devano?" muttered Damar, not believing.
On the screen, it is clear that Devano's face is dancing with Keysa who is playing cello. Damar knew the dance. A dance that was taught by himself. Devano who never showed his dance to anyone can dance as smooth as it was when with Keysa, it makes Damar speechless.
The other judges were dumbstruck by the appearance of Keysa and Devano seen from the big screen.
Meanwhile, Exel is more concerned with the girl standing in front of the screen than watching Keysa perform in previous rounds. He was very captivated by the appearance of Keysa who he thought was very beautiful and sexy, although with a face that is not as beautiful as the original face.
Video playback complete. Keysa also began to display his talent in one minute, namely the ribbon dance. Keysa who had been nervous several times made a mistake, even the ribbon he wore to fly to the edge of Arsen's feet. Luckily Arsen quickly helped Keysa, so the girl's mistake looked like a pre-determined choreography.
Selena noticed Keysa's appearance without blinking. He realizes Keysa made a mistake, but the girl can quickly shift the mistake he made and succeed in making Selena captivated by Keysa's appearance. If other participants make mistakes, not necessarily they are able to complete their dance well. However, in contrast to Keysa, the girl's mistake instead made her dance even more lively. Seeing Keysa's performance, Selena felt Liza would lose to Keysa.
Meanwhile, Liza grew furious at Keysa's appearance. His views on Keysa were sinister, full of anger and hatred. "I'll make sure you lose!"
After Keysa showcased his talent. Arsen announced that the jury would hold a five-minute discussion and vote.
