Josh walked to the stage alone, where she could see Josh and Ciri sitting in the audience.
While Josh was on stage, the audience was still talking about Taelin's retirement.
Tailin's retirement was a huge shock to Nolan and the whole world.
Even standing on the stage, Josh could feel the... lost atmosphere from the audience.
Josh is also full of lost emotions. Today, the caster forum should be like it was blown up by detonation magic once, and the discussion about Tailin's retirement should last for a long time.
But these have nothing to do with Josh. She is not standing on this stage because of... the retreat of the person she admires.
"Hello everyone... My name is Josh, a student from Muirina's Private Magic Academy. It's the first time I'm standing on this stage."
When Josh said this, no one in the audience noticed her.
This is also a matter of course. It is still too difficult for a rookie singer who has just debuted for less than three days to attract attention.
So Josh chose to give up and continue to introduce himself, and nodded slightly to the attendants who were in charge of the accompaniment behind the stage.
All she has to do now is sing.
The accompaniment of "You Belong With Me" sounded slowly.
Josh was still a little nervous when she sang the first lyric, but she quickly got into the state she should be.
This song belongs to the type that doesn't make people feel amazing at first, but the more you listen, the more comfortable it becomes.
With the ups and downs of Josh's singing, the discussion in the audience has gradually stopped, and they all focused their attention on the girl they had never seen under the spotlight.
When the last note of the whole song came to an end, Josh let out a long breath.
Applause, standing on the stage for the first time, she received applause from the audience.
This should have been a happy thing, but Josh's heart was unexpectedly very calm.
The audience applauded, and Josh could occasionally hear a sentence or two of "This song is indeed a song that Miss Tylin admired."
This comment is already the best appreciation for Josh as a fan.
She did not have the ambition to be number one on this stage, after all, this is just the beginning of her identity as a singer.
Josh bowed to all the audience, and she returned to the backstage of the stage.
"Play perfectly."
A text message from her mother appeared on her Leyline interface.
"It's a pity that I didn't get a chance to sing the second song my father prepared."
Josh replied with some pity.
"It doesn't matter, you are going to celebrate your birthday soon, just play at your birthday party."
Ciri posted the expression of a little girl giving a thumbs up, which Josh remembered seemed to be the logo of a candy brand.
"Birthday? By the way... Mother, do you know the reason for Tailin's retirement?"
Josh remembered that her birthday was indeed a few days later, but she was more concerned about why Taelin retired now.
"You'll know if you ask her in person when the time comes."
Ciri sent a meaningful text message.
"Can I ask her myself? When?"
Josh hurriedly pressed on the text message, but Ciri only answered her with a "confidential" answer.
…
After three days.
Josh sat in his room and looked at the magic net interface. The World Singer's Shining Group competition has ended for almost three days.
She also fantasized before the competition that she could shine in the competition, but the truth is... She is just a relatively bright new star in the shining group.
Also known as embellishment.
There is now news all over the magic web about Taelin's announcement to retire, and Josh is also refreshing the caster forum every day to find some useful information.
Taelin's spellcaster camp has officially announced the reason for her retirement, which is to "want to travel around the world."
The comment with the most likes under this message is "It takes only 300 days to travel around all the countries with the portal, Miss Tailin, if you want to have fun, add another 100 days, which is a little more than a year. We can totally afford to wait, why don't we take a long vacation?"
Josh of course agreed below this message.
There are also a lot of posts on the caster forum that analyze the shady, and Josh didn't even have the idea of clicking in that kind of post.
But Josh was still reluctant to believe the reason for her retirement that Taelin had posted at the caster camp.
"Josh! Hurry up and open the door!"
She was continuing to refresh Taelin's camp and wanted to see what new news... There was a sudden knock on the door of her room.
Josh walked quickly to the door of the room, and just as he opened the door of the room, colorful rays of light rushed towards her.
She took a step back subconsciously, and the light gradually dissipated from around her body.
"Father, what are you doing!" Josh saw clearly that the person standing outside the door was his father, Joshua.
Those colorful lights are a product of phantom magic and are generally celebrated.
"Happy birthday of course, have you forgotten what day is today?"
Josh said that he changed a lot of ribbons into Josh's room.
"Birthday?"
Josh looked at his father's dress, and found that he was wearing a colorful dome hat on his head, as if it was him and not himself who celebrated his birthday today.
"I see... Father, please stop throwing things in it, okay?"
Josh looked at the ribbons fluttering in the air, and it took a lot of her magic power to clean up these clutter.
"It's five o'clock in the afternoon. Hurry up and get dressed up. We have a lot of guests today."
Qiao Xiu walked into his eldest daughter's room on his own, and then opened Josh's wardrobe.
"Guest? I know... I know!"
Josh put his hand on his back, Qiao Xiu, and pushed the father who was rummaging through his clothes out of the room, then closed the door of the room and locked it again.
After she locked it, she looked at the sky outside the window. It was almost dusk, and the sun would set in a short time.
But she cared more about who the guest Joshua mentioned was than this.
In Josh's memory, neither father nor mother mentioned their past to her, including whether father and mother would have other relatives.
And Josh was very sensible and didn't ask more, but that World Singer competition made Josh feel strange.
Her younger sister, Joya, had met too many mentors who seemed to be very good, and Miss Talyn had a strange attitude towards her.
With these thoughts in mind, Josh pushed open the door of the room, she was wearing a daily robe today, which for her was a "dress up" outfit.
Josh pushed open the door and walked slowly to the hall of the house, which was originally a place for shops.
But the commodity cabinets have all disappeared, replaced by a long table.
"Father! Where are the goods we sell?" Josh shouted loudly upstairs.
"threw!"
The next second, Qiao Xiu said an answer that made Josh stunned.
"All thrown away?!"
When Josh was about to go up to confront his father, the door of the shop was suddenly pushed open...
Her first reaction was that a guest was visiting, so Josh hurried to the door.
"Then we don't open today..."
When Josh was about to dissuade the guest from leaving, the man standing at the door stopped her voice for a moment.
Because in terms of temperament, this man is really terrible, as if he will be killed if he is stared at.
"Josh?" The man asked her name.
what happened? I... Am I being hunted down by some mercenary group
Josh remembered that he usually didn't provoke anyone, and his interpersonal communication in the circle of friends was very harmonious.
The man's question made Josh nod.
"Nogus, your greeting is still too rough."
But at this time, a woman walked out from behind the man. She seemed to belong to the same kind of person as the man, except that her hair and eyes were a rare fiery red.
"Sehili, you don't need to worry about it."
Noggs was still looking at Josh up and down, and suddenly he drew a long sword from his side and stabbed it into the ground.
"I... I'm going to call the law enforcement team!"
Josh quickly took a step back and looked at the long sword that pierced deeply into the ground. She was basically certain that the person in front of her was definitely a thug or something.
"Pull it out."
Noggs didn't feel any fear because of the three words law enforcement team, he watched Josh and pointed to the sword at the same time.
"What did you say?" Josh didn't understand what this guy came for.
"Put this sword out, you should be able to do it, and you must do it."
Noggs said and took a step back to leave space for Josh.
Josh glanced at Nogus hesitantly, but she stepped forward cautiously and held the sword in both hands.
The blade pierced into the ground at least one meter deep, and the strength of an ordinary girl couldn't pull out this sword at all, but Josh was not an ordinary girl.
In a state that she couldn't notice, the gray magic power surrounded Josh's hand, and she pulled out the long sword with ease.
Only at this moment did Josh realize that this sword was forged with exquisite workmanship, and it seemed to be specially made for a girl like her, and it was very comfortable for her to hold in her hand.
"Give it back and get out of here." Josh didn't forget which strange stranger this sword belonged to.
"No need... this thing is yours, birthday present."
Noggs nodded with satisfaction after seeing the strength displayed by Josh.
"Still inherited our bloodline? And this."
Cecily also took out a package and threw it to Josh. Josh caught the package steadily, and the whole package seemed heavy.
"This is a present for your sister," Cecily said.
"My sister... Excuse me, who are you?" Josh asked while holding the long sword and the package, looking at the two in front of him.
"I'm your father's sister, and he's your father's brother." Cecily made a brief self-introduction.
"And I'm the wife of your father's brother!"
When Josh was wondering, behind which man appeared a... A person from the Land of Frost who looked the same as his mother.
"Agata!" Nogus scolded loudly.
"Don't be shy, and Josh, don't worry... He looks a little fierce, but he still cares about the growth of the two of you on the road." The woman named Agata said to Josh.
"thank you all."
Josh was in a state of confusion again, but to be honest... she didn't want to be missed by such a dangerous person.
