Irrefutable evidence?
She’s afraid not.
Vanessa’s gaze calmly swept Mack’s piano score, old papers, and the edges were slightly yellowing. Indeed, it was easy to be mistaken for something handed down from long ago.
But only she knew that her song had absolutely nothing to do with plagiarism.
“Mr. Roberts seems to have a big problem with me passing the exam? You targeted me on that day, and today, you have to come all the way over here, you’re really persistent, aren’t you?”
“I just can’t allow a student of bad character to enter our University A and tarnish the reputation of our school!”
Mack said justifiably, but Vanessa faintly smiled.
“You do? Since Mr. Roberts is so sure that I plagiarize, why don’t you help me identify some other songs, see if they are also plagiarized?”
Having said that, she sat down in front of the piano, and her delicate fingertips rested on the keys.
Before everyone could react, an arousing and inspiring piece of music flowed out from the fingertips, and the power contained in it gave everyone on the spot a feverish power as if a thousand horses were galloping with great passion.
But then, the sound sank steeply, turning into a mournful and melodious sound, like a lonely maiden calling for her lover.
Everyone was caught up in the music for a long time, and some even couldn’t help but hail.
The sound of the piano gradually stopped, and Vanessa slowly turned her head to look at Mack, “Mr. Roberts, for this tune, who do you think I plagiarized from?”
As early as just after hearing her play piano, Mack’s face became pale. Vanessa had shown an ability that he cannot match.
Now being questioned face to face, he was even more embarrassed and could only say, “There are countless tunes in the world, and I have not heard every one of them! What’s more, even if you didn’t plagiarize this tune, it doesn’t mean you haven’t plagiarized before!”
“You’re right.”
Vanessa actually nodded quite approvingly, and the next second she sneered, “It’s just that Mr. Roberts is a leading musician and one of the rare talents of University A. How could you not have noticed that the tune I just played was just a reversal of the tune I played on the day of the exam?”
Once this statement was made, the atmosphere around the room almost froze.
How was Mack Roberts, a music teacher, qualified to accuse that Vanessa was a plagiarist when he can’t even tell the difference?
Besides, she played the tune to the point of perfection, not at all like a plagiarist.
Just then, the principal of University A arrived in a hurry and scowled at Mack before apologizing, “Sorry everyone, there is some misunderstanding about this matter. Miss Vanessa absolutely did not plagiarize anyone’s tune, and all of our teachers can testify for her. Mr. Roberts must have heard some rumors and that’s why he made such a rash move.”
After that, the principal smiled kindly at Vanessa, “After hearing your tune that day, all of us at the school studied it over and over again and confirmed that there was no similar piece of music before. Miss Vanessa deserves to be called a Music Talent Star!”
“As for Mr. Roberts,” the principal snorted, “Mr. Roberts casually slandered the students without getting to the bottom of things, he is no longer worthy of being a teacher. I now announce that Mack Roberts will be expelled from my school and from now on will no longer have anything to do with University A!”
