The members, who were so fired up, looked at their densely written sheet music or watched videos of themselves playing with their cell phone cameras until everyone else was ready.

It felt like I was taking a competition or a college practical exam.

“/Then let’s go up on stage now./”

After all the members who were to be the last to finish preparing, Professor Benjamin, who was answering the members’ questions in the waiting room, said,

The members sighed lightly and stood up from their seats, picking up their instruments.

“I know it’s filming, but I’m still nervous.”

“I know.”

Why do I feel so nervous even though this is a less difficult filming stage than a live performance where one mistake could be disastrous in front of an audience? There was a faint sense of nervousness beneath my surging enthusiasm.

The stage was as usual.

The chair and the music stand were still the same. Maybe that’s why the tension seemed to ease a little.

The members naturally went to their seats as they had done for the past month.

Jason Moore and Choi Yoo-sung moved to the first violin positions, while Dmitry and Kim Soo-bin moved to the second violin positions.

“/Are you nervous, Bin?/”

“/Yes. But I’m also looking forward to it. I think it’ll be fun./”

Kim Soo-bin answered Dmitry’s question with the aforementioned face.

I usually wear my everyday clothes during practice, but sitting here in a suit made me nervous. But I was also excited.

The members who heard Kim Soo-bin’s words also laughed in agreement.

It was a stage prepared with Lee Seo-jun, Professor Benjamin, and famous violinists.

Even though I could see my skills improving during practice, I was curious and excited about what it would be like in a real match.

‘Let’s do well!’

Everyone checked their instruments again, making that pledge.

After all the members took their seats, the conductor, Professor Benjamin Morton, stood next to the conductor. Next to him stood Seojun, who was in charge of the solo violin.

The members quietly admired.

Even though the lights were brightly illuminating the entire stage, it felt like only Seojun was in the spotlight. It was like a scene from a movie.

After all the performers took their places, the staff moved around under the stage. They adjusted the angles of the cameras that had been set up in advance to capture the members well, and also adjusted the lighting to illuminate them better.

Director Andaho Ahn and Taewoo Choi checked the scene by looking at the monitor and the stage alternately.

Since Seojun was the main character of this performance, there was a separate camera just for Seojun. I thought it would be good to upload this separately later.

Quickly the shooting preparations were completed and the cinematographer signaled to Professor Benjamin. Next it was time to check the sound.

“/Then let’s do some light practice first to check the sound./”

Professor Benjamin continued, raising his long baton into the air.

“/But I’ll do it like it’s real./”

The members tried to relax their stiff shoulders and straighten their postures at the sound of that strong voice. Kim Soo-bin also suppressed his trembling heart and rested his chin on the violin.

Unlike those members, the experienced Jason Moore, Dmitry, and Choi Yu-seong looked as usual.

Seojun was like that too.

Despite being in charge of the main melody that is the center of the song from beginning to end, he showed no signs of tension at all. He lifted his bow and rested his chin on the Stradivarius that Jason Moore lent him, looking relaxed and even smiling.

Conductor Professor Benjamin looked at Seojun and the members, smiled, and lightly lowered his baton.

–!

First, Seojun’s solo violin was heard.

Everyone was amazed by the melody that resonated throughout the entire concert hall, even though he was the only one present. Even the sound director, who was about to give instructions to the staff, almost let out a gasp and got lost in the performance.

“Oh, this is not the time.”

The sound director, who was given the heavy and important task of recording this feeling exactly, quickly gave instructions. It was fortunate that I had listened to the song in advance, otherwise I would have been lost in this wonderful place.

Following Seojun, the melody of the orchestra was also heard.

This is where it got important.

With so many instruments, I couldn’t afford to miss a single one.

If the sound was too weak, a part of the song would sound empty, and if the sound was too strong, it would stand out on its own.

“Adjust the volume on the double bass side. Make it a little softer.”

The position of the microphone was changed and the volume was adjusted according to the sound director’s instructions.

After the sound check and warm-up session, Seojun and Professor Benjamin also listened to the recorded performance through headphones.

As the composer and arranger who knows the song best, they know well which instrument’s sound is lacking and which is excessive.

“It’s just right.”

“/I think the same./”

The sound director laughed heartily at Seojun and Professor Benjamin’s words.

Once the final sound check was completed, it was time to really start filming.

The staff below the stage all kept their mouths shut, and the members on stage lightly shook their hands. Still, after playing once, my shoulders felt much lighter.

“It feels good too.”

“Right?”

I felt like my confidence was rising.

In order to be more helpful to those members, Seojun activated the ability he found in the Library of Life, which he often used during practice.

[(Pre) Mansiote’s conversation method (lower) is activated.]

[(Line) Mansiote’s Dialogue Method – Lower Level]

The Mansiotes are a people who communicate heart to heart.

Beings within a certain range can sense each other’s thoughts to some extent.

It was an ability similar to telepathy, but it was an ability that could only convey ‘feelings’ rather than words or speech. However, it seemed that even that alone would be enough.

To a certain extent, if the members on stage can feel each other’s thoughts and emotions even just a little bit, the song’s expressiveness will improve.

Moreover, it would be even more effective since there are composer Seo Jun and conductor Professor Benjamin among them.

Of course, it wouldn’t have as dramatic an effect as [the (first) orchestra conductor’s connection], but this alone would have been quite helpful.

‘It’s a shame.’

It was a [connection of the (first) orchestra conductor] that surprised me every time, but I felt sad when it disappeared.

I had a feeling that the Spirit Tree would be very disappointed, since it wouldn’t be able to level up any more.

Seojun smiled slightly and focused.

Now it was time to start filming.

“/Then let’s begin now./”

Professor Benjamin, who had said so, looked around the members for a moment and finally met Seojun’s eyes. When Seojun smiled brightly, Professor Benjamin also smiled and nodded slightly. Then he moved the baton slightly from top to bottom.

A violin melody flowed from Seojun’s fingertips.

♪-♬-

Just like Alice who suddenly fell into Wonderland, the solo violin melody was filled with a sense of wonder and bewilderment. The occasional low notes also gave off a sense of despair.

at that time.

ridge-

And then a very weak sound was heard. The sound mixed with the melody of the solo violin sounded like the sound of a weak heart, or as if it was telling me to come here.

But that ‘escape route’ was too far away.

But I decided to give solo violin a try.

As if expressing that will, the embarrassment disappeared and an intense melody began to bloom from Seojun’s fingertips.

The conductor waved both his hands widely.

At the same time, the orchestra began to play.

The melody of ‘Enemy’ invaded the solo violin that seemed to be running across the ground. The melody of the solo violin gradually weakened into a heavy and low melody that squeezed the heart.

Ding- ding-

The timpani sound was even weaker, as if it would disappear at any moment.

at that time.

—!

Warm and bright melodies like the spring breeze sounded new. And they took up a large part of the song as if they were defeating enemies.

Sometimes the enemy’s melodies were heavy and intense, and sometimes the friendly’s melodies were warm and intense, and at the center of it all was always a solo violin.

When you hear the enemy’s melody, be weak. When you hear the friendly melody, be strong.

The entire orchestra moved like a single instrument to the conductor’s gestures and the solo violin’s performance.

There were no mistakes at all.

Rather, I felt like I did better than in practice, perhaps because I thought of it as a real match.

‘Why am I so good at this?’

I had that thought, but everyone was so focused on playing that I didn’t think that far ahead.

It feels like a rhythm game that you can play without losing your mind.

There was also the influence of Jason Moore, Choi Yu-seong, and Dmitry.

The three of them had the experience of becoming a ‘perfect orchestra’ through the connection of the (senior) orchestra conductor at the Paris concert, and were full of enthusiasm, if not overflowing with aggro, from the director.

In addition, Seojun had even used [(Sun) Mansiote’s communication tool].

Of course, this ability was used to convey even a little bit of Seojun and Professor Benjamin’s thoughts, but the main thing was that, unlike the solo violin and the conductor, who were one step away, the three violinists were playing with an orchestra.

The strong will of the three people (especially Jason Moore) who were within a certain range and who were attracted to aggro was conveyed to the orchestra. Along with the sense of unity felt during [the (first) orchestra conductor’s connection].

Of course, because it was low-level, the effect wasn’t that strong, but that alone was enough.

The orchestra’s performance, in which even a little bit of heart-to-heart communication took place, was amazing.

The members who had no time to think about anything else were in a state of ecstasy, while Jason Moore, Dmitry, and Choi Yu-seong, who had free time, happily played this sense of unity, and Professor Benjamin and Seo-jun, who were a step away, continued conducting and playing with small smiles.

The enemy’s melody gradually grew weaker, and the friendly melody also changed its central instrument as if it was being attacked and disappeared one by one.

floating-

And finally, the sound of the timpani, like the sound of a heartbeat, came closer, louder and clearer. The delighted solo violin and the melody of the allies were heard mixed together.

That’s how [Part 1] ended.

There was a moment of silence as the baton stopped.

Wow!

Soon, applause and cheers from the employees and staff of Cocoa Entertainment could be heard.

Although there were not even a few dozen people left the concert hall, the orchestra was satisfied with that.

“I think you did a good job.”

“Wow! I didn’t make a single mistake!”

“… … What did I do?”

Maybe it was because I was so focused that I was sweating profusely, but when I thought I did well, my body relaxed and my tension seemed to go away.

“/There are still a lot of songs left, so don’t relax too much./”

But Professor Benjamin’s words immediately brought me back to my senses.

While the members were taking a break, Seojun and Professor Benjamin listened to the recorded song. If they didn’t like it, they might have to play it again.

“But don’t you think you could do better if you played it one more time?”

Although I was worried about their physical strength, I wanted to feel a sense of ‘oneness’ with the group more than anything else.

As those members wish.

“/Should I film it one more time?/”

“/Yes. There is a bit of a difference between the beginning and the end of the song./”

Because the ‘sense of unity’ started working a little late, there was a difference between the beginning and the end.

But since I felt it once, if I played it again, I knew it would show a wonderful sense of unity from the beginning.

So we filmed [Part 1] again.

[Part 2] also began filming right away.

Drumroll- Drumroll-

The sound of timpani gradually getting closer.

The joyful solo violin and the melody of the allies began to run towards their destination once again.

Unlike [Part 1], where the sound of feet firmly pressing against the ground was heard, [Part 2] had a refreshing sound like flying through the sky.

There.

There was a sound with a new feeling along with the melody of the allies. It was a melody that expressed the prayers of real people.

The melody was sometimes soft, sometimes grandiose, supported by the solo violin and the accompaniment.

[Part 2] also had enemy melodies. They fell one after another along with the friendly melodies.

The solo violin shined among them.

There were a few times when I let out anxious and dizzying sounds as if I was falling, but I still moved forward again.

Just like Seojun stepped on the enemies’ backs and advanced towards the nuke.

Because [Part 1] felt like an ensemble performance with allies, [Part 2] had a large portion of solo violin.

And finally.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of the timpani, like a heartbeat, seemed to be right in front of me. Then all the other instruments disappeared and only the solo violin could be heard.

The timpani and solo violin, left alone, seemed like they would blend together, but they didn’t.

The solo violin tried but couldn’t reach it. It was like water and oil.

at that time.

In the meantime, another melody seeped in. It was the prayers of real people.

Just as the prayer helped Seo-jun reach the nucleus by creating a paper path, it made the timpani and solo violin blend together.

And finally.

The dissonant timpani and solo violin, along with another melody, merged into one.

—-!

The orchestra played with all its might, centering on the solo violin.

That was really awesome.

It was so grand and magnificent, like throwing colorful flower petals and setting off firecrackers at a festival, and it felt so cathartic that my heart started pounding on its own.

Professor Seojun, Benjamin, and the members all played with all their might.

Within the score, of course.

—!

The orchestra that had been decorating the climax stopped.

And only the solo violin continued to play a vivid and lively melody before soon playing the last note.

Like Seojun, who woke up alone after solving all his problems.

After a moment of silence.

Cheers erupted again, louder than before.

Seojun, who caught his breath in an instant, Jason Moore, Dmitry, and Choi Yu-seong, who were moving their bodies lightly, smiled with satisfaction, and Kim Soo-bin and the members, who were slightly sweaty, smiled brightly with their faces full of emotion.

That’s how the filming of [The Road Back] ended.
