Watching a young girl dancing on stage he remembered Em and started to feel bad, he left her for so long already. The last time he had left her alone was only for one day when she had slept over at Rika's place.
He headed outside of the noisy venue and took out his phone, he still had a bit less than an hour before the end of the episode so he took out his phone in a silent place and called his little sister, he used to call her every night before sleeping but he didn't yesterday as he was too busy preparing for today.
Ring ring ring...
After three rings he heard a young girly voice, the usual cute Em's voice.
"Hey cutie !"
"Big brother ! I was watching you on television earlier !"
"Haha how was big brother's performance?"
"You sang great, big brother is the best !"
...
Just by talking to his lit tile sister he made the uncomfortable feeling he had disappear, he had been with his sister forever and now he just left for a month already. He wanted to see her soon but he still had one episode of the show to shoot, at first it was all for her good but now he started to think of himself too, he would make money for both of them to live the best possible life.
« Big brother Rika is calling me to play, I'll call you again later ! »
« Haha ok, have fun and don't sleep too late it's already 9PM. »
« Yes big brother, I love you ! »
« I love you too. »
Saying that she hung up and Sam went back to the waiting room, he sat down and enjoyed the show in front of him. Every one passing on the room's TV had a great talent, there was an illusionist, a guy doing football freestyle, other singers and a lot of other.
He knew that without the system he could never have made it here but it wasn't a reason, the system was now part of him so everything that came from the system was his, he had thought about it : was everything given to him by the system his or just cheat ? It was both but he didn't mind cheating, his cheat was stronger than the rest of the people but everybody at the top of the world cheated to reach where they were, as the most famous exemple there were rumors that Steve Jobs actually stole ideas from Bill Gates, although this was refuted he also said himself that he stole from other brands, isn't that cheating ?
Anyway he didn't feel guilty about it anymore after thinking like that, everybody had his opportunity to greatness and this was his, he wouldn't mind using it to trample over everybody to make himself the best in whatever domain he wanted.

Finally after a pretty boring while he was called back on stage with all the contestants, amongst the almost hundred present people here, 10 would advance to the next step and amongst these 10 only one would win and take away the 100 000€, this was Sam's objective.
When all the contestants got on stage, it got packed really fast as they were a hundred on a stage made for one person. As it was thought to fit all type of performances such as dance, gymnastics and others it was still spacious enough but in the end Sam still found himself stuck between a guy and a girl, he had seen both their performance as they went on stage after his turn, if he was to judge them objectively it was great but not to his level yet, he wasn't being arrogant but it was the truth.
"You guys did great reaching this point in the competition but only 10 of you will take the next step, while you were in the waiting room we already decided of the 10 that are going to the finals."
Said one of the male judges, he didn't sugarcoat his words, in all cases the losers will be told that they lost so he just said it straight, he didn't want to lose time either as it was already 10 PM and he was starting to feel lightheaded.
"The order in which I will announce the winner's name is random."
After saying that he started enumerating names and every time a name was announced the person it belonged to would jump in joy but the other people's hearts would feel heavier as their chances of going further had been reduced by one.
"Moussa Nelle, congratulations. I hope you will be able to surprise us in the next round."
The guy was jumping in joy and Sam was looking at him, the dude was a black guy around the same age as Sam and his performance was a dance act, hip hop dance.
He was already the 8th called while Sam hadn't been called yet he didn't feel anything, he knew that if the show was authentic he would go to the next round.
"Sam Petit, congratulations. I won't ask you to surprise us as I already know that you will !"
Until now the judge had announced the results with a poker face but he smiled when he announced Sam's name, everybody felt something weird and looked in Sam's direction. Actually nothing was weird it was just that Sam had got a new fan.

In Annie's house even though the girls had class tomorrow they were still up watching the show with the adults, Em and Rika were in each other's arms and jumping up and down while screaming. Annie and Jin was clapping and laughing, and the parents were sitting on the sofa smiling widely and watching the kids happy, since Em came to their home they felt like the house had became more lively, if they could they would just keep the small cutie forever.
"Now now girls, it's late you shouldn't scream like that !"
Said the dad, he was a handsome chinese man, just an older version of Jin. He was the one that bought this big house that they lived in, he had inherited his father's corporation in China and left to live in France because the love of his life was a Korean teacher in France, their story was very simple : when he went a year to study in Korea during his college years he met her and he fell in love, at first she didn't feel anything about him but slowly the flower of love started blooming inside her too.
Years later they had Jin and then Annie, this was the back story of Annie parents that were keeping an eye on Em while Sam was away, their names were Li Wei for the dad and Li Jisun for the mom, she had taken her husband's last name after marriage.
"Let them be happy haha, Sam just got his ticket to the final round !" Rebuked the mom while giving him a light slap to the back of his head, she also felt very happy for that boy that she had yet to meet but she had heard enough stories about him to guess that he was a very nice boy that took perfectly care of his sister while his parents weren't there for them anymore.
"Hahah Sam did it ! I knew he would go to the finals !"
Said Jin with a big grin on his face
"You liar ! Weren't you the only one that didn't believe in him and kept repeating that he wouldn't be able to go past the semi finals because everybody was insanely talented at that point ?"
"Did I ? I can't remember saying that..."
In truth even though they wanted him to go to the finals everybody felt that it was an impossible thing but they still said that he would to support him and not anger Em.
Em was actually the one that believed hard like rock that her brother would go tot he final and win the show.
Meanwhile in Eric's house a similar scene was happening, everybody knew that Sam was his friend so they all rooted for him but they didn't expect such a result either.
