They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 513: The Greatest Motivational Song in Karaoke History!

That gave her some breathing room.

Monday morning.

Carl insisted on driving Nnenna to school, and no one objected. After all, she was about to write exams based on everything he had spent the past 6 months teaching her. If there was anything else he could slip into her mind before they arrived at the academy, it was worth the ride.

...Wishful thinking.

Instead of a serious last minute revision or lecture, Carl did something way better.

He hooked up his playlist, grinned, and tapped play.

A cheerful instrumental started, bright ukulele strumming, a bouncy rhythm, and the unmistakable dramatic flare of a karaoke classic loading up. No vocals, just music.

Carl immediately sat up straighter. "Get ready. This is it."

"What is it?" Nnenna asked suspiciously.

He pointed at her like a game show host. "The greatest motivational song in karaoke history."

Then, before she could stop him, he started singing.

🎵 "Life is a sandwich—bite it with pride!" 🎵

🎵 "Put on your crown and ketchup your stride!" 🎵

Nnenna choked on air. "Wait, what?!"

If the others found out what Carl was actually doing, instead of helping her revise like they had all agreed to, they would probably be lining up to smack him one by one.

They had respectfully given the two of them privacy, thinking he was cramming last minute formulas into her brain. If only they knew he was busy playing DJ and singing off key like it was a road trip.

But Carl was in full performance mode. Eyes closed, voice cracking with passion.

🎵 "You’re the queen of your test, the toast of the land—

Sharpen your pencil and take a stand!" 🎵

"Carl, please stop, this is a crime against music!"

"Oh no, we’re doing this together."
