A prince from a certain American comic book

Principal Nancy chuckled.

If it weren't for the unfathomable background behind Ike, Principal Nancy would have gone insane to entrust the hosting rights of such a large ball to Ike.

Ike glanced at Principal Nancy and said, "Principal, I guarantee that there will be no accidents during this performance."

Principal Nancy nodded and smiled again as she looked at the university delegation approaching from a distance. She said in a low voice, "I hope so. This time, not only Johns Hopkins University sent people, but also Stanford and several major art schools."

Ike nodded and smiled as Principal Nancy introduced him to the staff member from Johns Hopkins University.

Principal Nancy introduced him as follows: "Ike Arundale, the organizer of this ball, and his college application has already been sent to Hopkins."

The female staff member glanced at Ike with surprise and then said, "Johns Hopkins University welcomes students like Arundale."

Ike smiled and said, "Johns Hopkins has always been my dream university."

After a few pleasantries...

With Nancy's help, Eckert led the female staff member from Johns Hopkins University to her seat.

Throughout the process, there is no doubt that Ike continued to redefine his image in the minds of the Hopkins staff.

This is a chance to earn a full scholarship.

After all, Ike was still thinking about the promise S.H.I.E.L.D. had made to cover his tuition throughout his college years. If he could get a scholarship, wouldn't it be like S.H.I.E.L.D. was paying the money, and then Ike could withdraw the cash from Johns Hopkins University...?

Not long after.

Ike looked at Chris waving at him from afar, apologized to his mentor Hopkins who was chatting happily beside him, and then got up and left.

"what happened?"

"Holdon and Andrew are about to start fighting."

"..."

Ike walked into the backstage area of ​​the ball, where it was noisy. A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and Ike grabbed Holden, who seemed to be about to fly backward.

Dalton, caught by Ike, looked visibly shaken.

Andrew, who wore a suit specially for the performance today, stood not far away with his fists clenched.

Ike asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Holden wiped his face and pointed at Andrew, saying, "The show is about to start, and this guy is fiddling with his camera again."

Ike looked at Andrew and said calmly, "Is that so?"

Andrew did not speak.

Ike smiled and walked straight past Andrew to his cousin Matt, saying, "Matt, what do you think about this?"

Matt said apologetically, "Ike, Andrew just wanted me to help him record the show when he performed; he didn't intend to record it backstage."

Matt had just finished speaking.

One of the girls in the dance dress said directly, "He's lying. I clearly saw the shadow of a camera in front of the apron when I was changing clothes. This guy is trying to spy on us again."

“I think I saw it too,” another girl echoed.

“Me too,” the third girl said.

Then.

The situation was quite obvious; the performance hadn't even started yet, and infighting had already begun backstage.

Ike looked at the group of girls, then glanced at Andrew, who was not far away, clenching his fists as if suppressing his anger.

He paused for a moment.

Ike turned to Chris beside him and said, "Go check Andrew's camera to see if there's anything that's not very aesthetically pleasing."

Andrew looked up.

Before Andrew could speak, Ike said directly, "If your camera breaks, I'll buy you a new one."

Chris walked up to Matt and extended her right hand.

Matt glanced at his cousin, then handed the camera to Chris.

quite a while.

Chris took it, glanced at Matt, and then, under Matt's gaze, directly chose to clear the memory. After fiddling with it for a while, she looked up and shook her head at Ike.

Ike looked around at the group of girls and boys and said directly, "I'll say it again, there are many university inspection teams here now. I don't care what grudges you have against each other. Today we are a team. Keep your grievances to yourselves."

After finishing his sentence, Ike turned directly to the student assistant, Dirk, and said, "You need to be careful. This gala is not only testing us, but also you, who aspires to become a great director. If you can't even control the backstage area, how can you expect to manage the entire crew?"

Dirk nodded.

Ike didn't say anything more, and directly said to Alice, who was dressed like a peacock, "The people from the Opera Department of the University of Rochester are here. I'll take you to meet them."

Alice's eyes lit up.

The University of Rochester is the college Alice wants to apply to. It's ranked second in the country for music, and its opera department is ranked first. Its position on Broadway is very solid; it's said that if you get into Rochester, you're practically guaranteed a place on Broadway...

An hour and a half later.

Sitting next to Principal Nancy, Ike smiled as he watched the performance on stage and asked, "Do you think I've secured a full scholarship this time?"

Principal Nancy was relieved and turned to look at the delegations from various universities behind her, saying, "It's not just Hopkins; even Stanford has brought art professors. However, with the success of this gala, your name should appear on the viewing lists of the management departments of various universities."

Ike shook his head and said, "Principal, you didn't answer my question."

Principal Nancy said directly, "Do you lack scholarships? Your tuition is paid by the Logistics Support and Homeland Defense Agency."

Ike was slightly taken aback.

Principal Nancy glanced at Ike's expression and smiled, saying, "I forgot to tell you, I was recruited more than ten years ago."

Ike was dumbfounded.

quite a while.

Ike asked with some curiosity, "Then, Principal, what happened to you...?"

Principal Nancy said, "The training was too tiring and the pay was low. I went there hoping to find a tough guy, and after I found one and got married, I left."

Ekko: "..."

He had countless things he wanted to say, but in the end, he could only silently give Principal Nancy a thumbs-up of admiration.

At the same time, the stage lights dimmed.

Just then.

As Steve emerged, accompanied by a beam of light, he announced in an enthusiastic voice, "Hello everyone, are you ready to witness an unparalleled magical performance?"

The students at the scene were in an uproar.

After all, the quality of the previous episodes was guaranteed, which naturally made them look forward to the upcoming episodes.

Then.

A magical show disguised by telekinesis unfolds.

And Andrew went from being an unknown to becoming a rising star.

They pulled off this spectacular comeback.

Chapter 096: Less than a minute

A month of practice offstage, two hours onstage. (Ice and Fire Chinese website www.BhzW.Cc)

This refers to today's midterm party. After the final opera performance, Ike stood up and walked onto the stage with Chris, leading all the students who participated in the performance to receive applause from all sides of the auditorium.

Chris looked at the students who had stood up and were clapping and said, "Congratulations, Ike."

Ike, who naturally occupied the center position, said with a smile that was already perfect: "Thank you, and thank you for filling in the gaps over the past month."

Chris's smile widened.

After half an hour.

Many students began to leave and head to the next meeting point.

The auditorium and the school grounds were clearly not suitable for a party. Besides, this performance was more for the visiting observation groups from various universities than for the students.

Yes.

The party was held outside the school.

To be precise, the suburban villa was provided by Monica, who had dyed her hair red. Monica's parents were not in Baltimore for the week, and because it was in the suburbs, there was no need to worry about being reported by the neighbors for partying all night.

"Ike, see you at the party."

"it is good."

"Ike, remember to come to the party later."

"must."

"Ike, shall we come along?"

"No, I'll go with Chris later."

"Row……"

At the entrance of the auditorium, Chris watched as the students greeted Ike and said, "Wow, your performance this time has successfully made you the number one in the school."

Ike turned to Chris and smiled, "If I'm the number one person in the school, then you're the school's first lady."

Chris rolled her eyes at Ike.

Ike laughed heartily.

Another person became a popular figure among the students during this performance.

Andrew.

With his flawless telekinetic magic trick on stage, Andrew not only changed everyone's perception of him as a sleazy and introverted little man, but also refreshed their understanding of him.

Andrew went from being an unknown student to becoming a popular figure at school.

Wearing a suit, Andrew arrived at the suburban villa, a far cry from his previous self-conscious and timid demeanor. A sense of confidence emanated from him.

With increased self-confidence, Andrew not only saw the disappearance of his symptoms, which are scientifically known as social anxiety disorder, but also became unusually active at parties.
