Lucen had found his protagonist, but to make sure that he was truly the one, he asked him to say a few more lines.
After all, one good line did not make someone a good actor.
A person could accidentally match a scene once. They could stumble into the right feeling by luck. They could say one line well because that line happened to fit them.
Lucen needed to know if Taren Bell could become Eren Holt, not only during a desperate comeback, but in other moments as well.
Lucen leaned back in his chair and looked at the script in his hand. "Read the scene where Eren wins his first duel."
Taren, who was acting Eren, did not break character as the words flowed out of his mouth.
He was no longer standing in front of Lucen Thornehart, Harry Nidhouni, Mireya, and the other applicants.
In his mind, he was standing in the center of a village square, surrounded by people looking at him with worry as he was about to be defeated.
