A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 83

The auditorium of Alnewgo University was packed to capacity, with the 5,000-seat venue filled early by enthusiastic spectators. Students lucky enough to secure entry tickets streamed in, eager to witness the thrilling competition.

The stage was magnificently decorated, dazzling with lights, and commanding the attention of all.

In the front row sat a line of reporters, while the guest seats were filled with officials and music industry titans.

These luminaries represented some of the most influential figures in the music world, highlighting the incredible appeal of the Calisota regional finals.

Among the prominent figures was Feena's teacher, Donald Cannon.

Standing on such a stage was a tremendous honor for any contestant, but it also brought immense pressure.

Not only were the performances being broadcast live nationwide, but the participants also faced the sharp eyes of these seasoned and accomplished mentors.

A stellar performance could mean a bright future, while a misstep might leave a poor impression, making the road ahead in the music industry significantly steeper.

Jack, along with Isaac, Joshua, and the others, arrived at the hall after lunch to cheer on Luca.

From a distance, they saw Luca and the other seven contestants entering the backstage area to prepare. These eight were the top-ranked finalists in the Calisota region.

While the event was billed as a ranking competition, the two lowest-ranked performers would face elimination and lose their chance at the national finals.

As the most promising seeded contestant, Luca also faced the possibility of elimination if he didn't perform well.

What shocked Jack was seeing two familiar faces among the eight finalists besides Luca—Feena and Seth.

Seth had clashed with Jack over the summer and was later taught a harsh lesson by Zane. So Jack hadn't expected to see him here as one of the finalists.

It truly felt like a small world.

But upon reflection, Jack thought it wasn't surprising.
