"Welcome back to the finals of the Saint Karno School Campus Idol Competition! Now comes the most exciting moment—who will win the judges’ critical vote and become the champion?"
Under the host’s voice, the lights all focused on Theo.
"Please make your choice, Judge Theo."
Sweating from his forehead, Theo held the microphone, hesitantly looking at the contestants on stage.
Theo fell into deep thought.
Even though Shami said he could only choose one from the four contestants, narrowing down the options, he still didn’t know which one to pick.
They’re all about the same, with no distinctive qualities.
But at this moment, with the spotlight on him, Theo could only grit his teeth and make his choice inwardly.
Theo looked at the Elf Maiden.
The Elf Maiden quickly avoided his gaze.
Oh no, staring at Humans might cause harm and make them grow a stye!
Theo recalled the interactions he had with Lureya after she came to the village.
This golden-haired girl had no problems with her personality, and her appearance was average, leaving no deep impression in Theo’s mind.
Isn’t this just mediocrity in action?
Theo looked at the purple-haired girl.
This was also someone Shami had designated.
Those horns reminded Theo of a lamb’s horns, which was a bonus. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N()velFire.net
But who exactly was this person? He didn’t know her at all, so how could he vote for her!
Theo turned his gaze to the white-haired girl next to the purple-haired one.
Lina quietly greeted Theo.
Coming from the same village, meeting anywhere was not easy.
Theo was warmed by Lina’s thoughtful gesture.
Since she was from the same village, choosing Lina was undoubtedly a non-biased choice.
Just as Theo was about to vote, he caught sight of the Magical Girl beside the white-haired girl.
The Magical Girl coldly stared forward.
Her brain was rapidly searching for suitable Dark Magic, to see if she could briefly mentally control Theo.
This Mage still had the same expression.
On Theo’s side, his eyes were blankly reminiscing, overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
One was a girl from his village; the other was a girl who tried to approach him as soon as she arrived.
Although half a year had passed, those subtle memories seemed to still hold the taste of a naïve romance.
Theo painfully gritted his teeth, casting those memories out of his mind.
But everything was over.
Past events couldn’t be undone.
Let bygones be bygones.
He no longer liked this type of girl.
However, now he had this opportunity, so he would put a perfect question mark on this budding affection.
After all, Saili was someone who once had feelings for him!
"I choose to vote for Saili."
Theo announced loudly.
"Congratulations to the Magical Girl Porol·Saili from Fata for winning the Idol Competition!!!"
The stage was lit up by the dazzling lights focusing on the Magical Girl, and fireworks burst out across the stadium, making the entire arena explode in excitement.
Standing under the spotlight, looking at Theo with a peculiar gaze, the Magical Girl’s mouth twitched, feeling none of the victor’s joy.
"Why can’t I feel happy? Why!!!"
