97 The Nightlife (1/2)

Is it possible to exceed 100%?

Theoretically yes, but not with a human vocal cord.

This is because the number measured by the Harmonic Measuring System (HMS) is already baselined on a perfect organic vocal cord, which can be simulated by a supercomputer or fabricated in a lab.

It is also the reason why everyone has a great voice in the future.

But when everyone is, no one is.

Singing is an extinct profession in the far future, only composer remain since artificial intelligence still lacks imagination and emotion for that matter. Oh, there are still celebrities, stars and idols, but they rarely have anything to do with the entertainment industry, which has become so artificial that it isn't funny.

Everyone in 31st century feels super fake to me, who was born in the 21st century and has 21st century values. It is still very hard to dismiss their sexy appearance and alluring voice since humanity as a whole are biologically wired to be attracted to another, usually the opposite sex.

There is just something beautiful about the natural selection.

Sadly, progress is progress, and scientific advancements must not be halted, or things will be stagnant, just like what happened on Azula. Well, that is not entirely true. Magic does advance in place of science on Azula, but I don't think magic can ever replace science.

Understanding the natural world and deciphering the physical laws that govern the universe expands one's horizon. Humanity would have never achieved so much otherwise.

The artificial nature of the Entertainment Industry does irritate me greatly, more than I can express in words, and it is my intention to rectify this problem.

Hopefully, I can do so without stagnating technological and magical progress. If I cannot have the best of both worlds as well as satisfying me own selfish desire, I will find a way.

There will always a way!

”That is beautiful, absolutely beautiful, Miss Nam.”

Chantara finally speaks up and then joins his younger brother, Somchai's very energetic applauding. I did so as well because their excitement is somewhat contagious.

Besides, it is a lovely voice from a love girl, even if it is enchanted by magic.

I am inspired by the enchanting melody. My emotion has been greatly affected.

Actually, now that my mind is clearer, I realise this is kind of dangerous.

There are reasoning-type runes as well as logical-type runes, which can give a person a voice of reason or logical persuasion, a sort of brainwashing power in all sense of the word.

I will test those runes out later, right after this façade is over.

Luckily, it does appear that the stronger the willpower of a person has, the more difficult it is for them to be affected. Even if affected, the effect didn't last long.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

It takes a while for me to become affected by her enchanted voice, and I snap out of it within seconds while Chantara and Somchai haven't yet. And as full pledge Hydra members, their willpower is in no way weak. But if they can be affected, everyone in the world can.

Nam Dejsuwan hasn't realised what had just happened. It appears that the magical enhancement does not affect her, which makes sense, I suppose. If it affected the enchanter, then that is kind of dumb.

How does that work if it actually did though? Nam would be inspired to be more inspired, stuck in an infinite loop of enchantment? Or at least until the magical energy runs out.

Since the magical melody doesn't affect Nam, this is Enchantment class of magic. Enhancement class would only affect her and not those around the her, even if she is not the caster herself.

In this case, I am the caster.

Of course, I can enchant my own voice. Even if I am not much of a singer myself, none at all actually, I can still inspire others, especially just before battle. There are plenty of applications to this, and I will need to find a way to make it permanent.

”We would be very pleased to have you as member of our company, Miss Nam. Please take this down to the floor below. Someone there will show you want you need to do next. But let me be the first to congratulate you.”

Chantara shakes her hand and passes her a signed assessment, containing all the report cards. I didn't fix my initial assessment of her, but the other did, right after they got brainwashed. Yeah, this is going to be problem if magic becomes widespread.

Nam thanks us all tearfully before she left the room. Chantara even opens the door for her since he is still under the influence.

I do wonder how long the effect will last? I didn't even use that much magical energy. The more power I use, the longer the effect last, but there is a limit to how much energy can be pumped into the magic incantation diagram before it explodes. This is call overloads, hence there are many different types of incantation diagram, for all sort of situations.

The woman outside the room gives her a warm hug and congratulates Nam. It seems that the woman is also affected since the room is not completely soundproof. This is to prevent incidents. A few people didn't take the rejection well, previously.

Once Nam left, the woman enters the room and gives us a new set of folders.

”Shall we call in the next person, Mr. Maxwell?”
