## Chapter 1751 – The Life of a Transcender – Nick’s Story
Nick.
He was completely unfazed, even with his dad and moms right in front of him. Completely defying expectations, he was confidently declaring that he would show us his skills.
Seriously.
How could there be a middle schooler who just shows his parents his music video shoot without a hint of embarrassment? Is this really my son? I felt an overwhelming sense of disbelief.
We naturally expected him to be shy and ask how he could possibly show it to his parents, and we were going to use that to delay Nick’s debut.
But if he’s this confident… what can we even do now?
Are we just.
Left with no choice but to watch?
“W-We have to stop him, even now…!”
“Katt! What should we do!”
“My little darkie…!”
Everyone was horrified, covering their mouths. Winnia was even reaching for her hair, ready to tear it out. This was serious. A very serious situation. At this rate, he might start demanding to debut right away! But as parents! We can’t just crush his dreams right now!
Just as we were at a loss for what to do,
“Alright, Father? Mothers? Please watch from over there.”
ㅡChuh-awk.
“My talent.”
Nick, with his legs spread wide.
“Exploding before your very eyes.”
He declared, pointing to the sky with his eyes closed.
“Music start.”
ㅡPuh-wong!
At the same time, there was a booming sound and a flash of light. It wasn’t made with my Heavenly Demon Power. It was magic made of pure mana.
ㅡChwa-ru-ruk!
The vast hall. All sorts of magic circles began to appear on the ceiling and walls. That’s right… the music video had already begun. Nick wasn’t the type to rely on special effects. Purely. He was unleashing his magical skills without reservation to create the performance.
ㅡChuh-awk!
In that fantastical magical space, Nick performed a dance with precise movements.
“Oh my!”
“I-Incredible!”
“What kind of dance is that!”
Horror.
The women, mouths covered, burst into exclamations.
ㅡChuh-awk!
There, Nick danced and sang.
“Embarrassing worries. They’re just a cocoon from childhood.”
“Ugh!”
“In wandering memories. I long for the festival that is soon to come.”
“Stop…! I said stop!!!”
Thankfully, Nick wasn’t broadcasting live with a camera! He was only filming! Okay! It’s not the worst! At least he’ll have a chance to reconsider after watching his own video!
“Where you come from doesn’t matter. Because it’s a festival. A festival accepts everything. Oh. Do what you want to do. That’s what a festival is, right?”
Somebody save me!!!!
Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!
“Kuaaaaaaaack!”
“Kyaaaaaaaack!”
“Somebody help!”
“K-Katt…! I can’t take it anymore!”
ㅡJjwaaaaaaaack!
The extreme cringe created a magical black hole. My wives were sucked into it, leaving behind screams of agony.
No! Are you all creating gates to escape!
“Sorry, my little darkieeeeeeeeat!”
“Winnia, what am I supposed to do if even you leave!”
“Please take care of my son!!!”
“What are you asking for, you woman!”
ㅡSwoo-ook!
All the wives ran away!
“Kuh! Is the Father the only one who can stop this, after all!”
That’s right!
I have no choice!
The only one who can stop my son’s rampage is his father! Traditionally, mothers have a hard time stopping their sons’ rampages. The father, who can be strict, is the one who has to step in!
“Nick! Can you hear me! Stop the performance right now!”
“Meaning can be found someday. So spread your wings.”
ㅡBuhn-juck!
But Nick couldn’t hear me.
He was just singing and dancing, lost in his emotions. And he was dancing in the air. He’s dancing in the air.
Showing off amazing moves and proper singing ability while doing an aerial dance!
This is bad…!
“Can’t he hear me anymore!”
He was so caught up in his dance and song! And the atmosphere! That he had fallen into his own world! In that state, outside interference is impossible!
“Then!”
Last man standing.
“I will stand here and watch your performance in its entirety!”
Even if there is destruction at the end.
I will accept everything from this spot.
ㅡPuh-wong!
ㅡKwaang!
As Nick’s emotions ran wild, explosions began to occur everywhere. Still, the production needs some work. It’s terribly immature.
Suppressing all of that, I watched Nick’s music video.
“…”
The content is… well. Self-reflection and introspection. And self-praise. The worries and such from before will be resolved at some point, and thus he will move forward… a very good and progressive lyrical content.
He probably made the lyrics from what he experienced and felt.
“Experience creates your true self! You can’t spread your wings while crouching! Outside the worldoooo! Go! Oh! Esh-Hey-Tum! Collect the feathers called experience and make wings!”
Extreme cringe.
But.
This.
“It’s good.”
The song is good.
I sincerely thought so.
“…!”
The initial cringe. And Nick’s arrogant, chuunibyou-like attitude. Because of that, I had a preconceived notion, but now that I’m watching the performance with all those preconceived notions erased.
What I feel is.
Good.
“Ah ah.”
The production and the dance are perfect.
This is by no means because I am the 1st Heavenly Demon Michael Jackson. Even if he is my son, I am more ruthless than anyone else in the world when it comes to dance and song.
That’s what I think.
“Nick has talent.”
He definitely has the talent he inherited from me.
And it’s an explosive, overwhelming talent!
ㅡKuoong!
“Well done, well done! Nick! Awesome! You’re doing great!”
At some point, I was cheering for Nick.
Magical Vocalist? At first, I couldn’t even grasp what that was, but now I know! That is the true Magical Vocalist!
“My wives!”
I can’t watch such a good performance alone!
ㅡPaaht!
I immediately created gates right behind their backs and reached in.
“Kyaat!”
I grabbed their clothes and pulled them towards me one by one.
“Wait!”
“Watch. Just watch. Don’t run away. See what kind of performance our Nick is putting on!!!”
I brought back all the wives who had run away like that.
“Please…!”
The women who were caught were all trying to run away or pleading, covering their heads and bowing, but soon.
“Huh?”
“Huh…?”
“This is.”
One second passed.
Then ten seconds passed.
Finally, when twenty seconds had passed.
“Ah.”
Like me, they were immersed in the performance and watching Nick.
“H-He’s good… He’s really good…?”
At first, they couldn’t stand the cringe and screamed, but now they realized.
“Nick’s talent is exploding. We are witnessing it right now. So we must never run away or hide. Because that is.”
ㅡBuhn-juck!
“The moment when our son shines the brightest.”
“Ah…!”
When the performance ended like that.
ㅡClap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!!!
ㅡClap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!!!
ㅡClap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!!!
ㅡClap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!!!
ㅡClap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!!!
Thunderous applause erupted. Overwhelming admiration. I, along with my wives, gave Nick a standing ovation and praised him.
Is this Nick’s path?
Is this Nick’s path?
“Nick!!! That was a great performance!!!”
Nick, who finally heard his father’s words, wiped the sweat with a handkerchief and approached.
“Thanks for watching, Father. How was it? The sight of your son growing up?”
“Amazing! You did so well! You are the true Magical Vocalist!”
“Hoo… It’s a little embarrassing, but yeah. This is my first performance. Honestly, I hope it went well… but it’s still not enough. Even though I spewed out everything in my head, I still can’t be ‘satisfied’.”
“…”
“But I’m happy. I’m happy that I can’t be satisfied with my skills.”
ㅡChuh-awk.
Nick, with his hands gathered on his chest, said as if singing.
“The fact that I can’t be satisfied with my skills means that there is a higher level. That fact draws out my fighting spirit.”
“Ah.”
At that word, suddenly.
I saw my own image overlapping with Nick.
“K-Katt…?”
Cloudy says.
“That’s what Katt always said.”
That’s right.
“The joy of knowing there is a higher level… the mindset of a warrior.”
“…That fierce fighting spirit that Katt possessed.”
Karin and Liz said.
“That beautiful fighting spirit and ambition. You possessed all of that.”
Risha also nodded.
“Yeah.”
That self-praise and ambition. I possessed all of that. Ah ah. Is that so. So Nick is my son after all.
“Nick. You are truly my son.”
“Ha.”
Nick, smiling faintly.
“What are you saying so belatedly, you idiot father.”
He said, putting his fist to his forehead.
“I was Father’s son from the beginning.”
“Nickyaaaaaat!”
Winnia hugged Nick.
“My son! When did you grow up so much!”
“Mother… don’t treat me like a child so much.”
“You’ve grown up so much! You’ve grown up!”
I don’t worry anymore. I thought it was a serious case of chuunibyou… but Nick just inherited my genes.
“I guess there’s nothing to worry about now?”
“I’m glad it worked out!”
Everyone was moved to tears.
“Kuh-huh! Katt! Nick has become an adult!”
“Father… I want to make a son too.”
Me too.
Tears flowed.
“Hahahahahahaha! Today is a happy day! Nick! Where did you learn that dance and song!”
“Ah, I just looked up some stuff on the internet and referenced it. When you’re a demigod, you can learn skills just by watching.”
“What about the magic!”
“I learned a little from Shuka?”
“It’s really perfect!!!”
In the name of this Heavenly Demon Kim Katt!
“Nick, I allow your debut!!!”
