58 Chapter 57. (1/2)

”Hey buddy, why are you so tense and standing up like your about to kill someone?”

”Who's your buddy?”

”No need to get so irritated man. I was just trying to break the ice. You looked like you were pretty mad with how that guy on stage was acting. You were even staring daggers in his direction. I know the guy's bad, but you don't need to be so harsh, do you?”

What is he talking about? Oh, you mean that kid on stage who looks like he's been wanting to pee himself since I stood up a moment ago?

I didn't realize it but I was radiating a strong killing intent. That kid probably thought he killed my grandparents or something. I felt like I had to apologize, but how can a mighty cultivator like me apologize to an ant?

”Uhm, kid good luck.”

”Eh? Is that why you were staring daggers at me just now?” The kid on stage asked me with a face that said he had been horribly wronged.

”Uh… yeah. I just really wanted to wish you luck.”

”I-I see. Hahaha.”

”Hahaha.” I naturally laughed back like we were actually good buddies.

The kid then quickly finished up his lines and ran out of the room in the direction of the nearest restroom.

I felt a bit embarrassed from my blunder and kept my head down low.

I could hear the whispers in the crowd saying things like, ”isn't that guy horrible?”

”The worst.”

”Scum.”

”Trash.”

”Despicable.”

…

Gossip like that continued for several minutes in the crowd until I heard a certain voice say, ”isn't he kind of hot?”

It was only that one whisper that managed to help me slightly recover.

When I looked over to who it was, it was the young man who had returned from the washroom who took a seat back in the crowd.

I don't want a man! Why aren't you a woman?! I want to cry. I haven't ever had the time to play around with any woman as the aide to the crown prince. I'm always buried in work or stuck cultivating like a madman. The first person to ever call me hot, and it's a man?

Ugh. I don't need men with weak bladders thinking that way about me.

Could you at least be a woman crossdressing as a man?

Yeah right, like that would ever happen.

While time passed by, several people had gone up with hope in their eyes, only to come back down minutes later from the stage with dread and despair in their eyes.

It looks like the lead role is quite difficult. They not only needed to be able to act, but were required to pull off their own stunts as well. All the stunt actors and even the main actor were all injured after all.

Apparently all the stunt actors failed a certain stunt, left with no choice the main actor decided to attempt it himself. He was too overconfident in his abilities and in the end, he failed and thus this emergency audition was held.

When it was down to just three people, including me. The crowd was extremely disappointed. Only the director still had an eager expression on his face. It looked like he couldn't hold himself back anymore and announced something other than his usual, ”next.”

He said, ”for the last audition, we'll have the last three participants take the stage at the same time. Since I'm sure everyone is tired of the same old lines and exact same practice stunt, I feel we should spice things up a bit and let them do ad lib for a change of pace. The stunt they perform will be completely up to them. It will be a good way to end the evening.”

”Director, what are you talking about?! We can't do that! That would be unfair to all the auditions that went before this.”

”Director's orders are final, besides we've saved the best three for last.”

”The stunt devil known for his death defying tricks, let's give a hand to the man known as 'Hell Transcending Heaven.' The second master of his craft, known as 'The God of Deathly Acrobatics.' Finally the underdog, the unknown man of mysteries I personally discovered, a man I like to call, 'Anything is Possible!'”

”Let's give these three men a round of applause, I expect a great performance from the three of them.”

Clap.

What the heck? Am I supposed to be that ”Anything is Possible?” Also, what was with that one clap that stopped after realizing no one else was doing it?!

No but really now, what's with that stupid title? I started to regret my decision to come to this audition. I don't want to be tagged with such a stupid title.

One of my minions placed a hand on my shoulder while he snickered and said, ”big boss, 'Anything is Possible' break a leg out there. Hahahaha. Anything is possible, did you hear him guys?”

My mouth was constantly twitching, but it was too late to back down now. It was too late to get rid of that stupid title anyways. This damn crown prince better appreciate all of the suffering I'm going through to save his sorry ass.

The other two didn't look any better than me. They were also hiding their heads in their hands.

”Hehehe. What lame names. Did you guys make them up when you were kids?”

”Shut up! We don't have such weird nicknames! It's that stupid clown for a director. It's all his fault they stuck with us for the rest of our lives.”

Ah. Does that mean I really have no way to get rid of that stupid name?

”Hey boss, good luck! Anything is possible boss!”

”You show them your laser beam eyes.”
