Chapter 30: Unveil
"Team B, please stand here on stage for the announcement of our first winner in today's challenge." Jiang Su calls the other team after He Yan's team evaluation.
Lu NanXiao's team went to the stage again nervously and the crowd stayed silent too.
"Before announcing, I will remind again about the rules. Each group that wins will have the double points from the losing team and the mentors will pick their favorite trainee from each group to receive the special points. These special points will be announced later after the group performances. In addition, there'll be additional points added for the whole team who have the higher points of winning." Jiang Su explains again.
"Mentors, please announce your pick."
Everyone looks at the mentors with anticipation and expectation. Even the trainees sitting in front felt like they couldn't wait for the announcement anymore. What's more about the two groups on the stage? They all felt as if something was blocking their throats that they couldn't breathe properly due to extreme nervousness.
Which team will be the first to pick? The crowd waited as if they were sitting on the tip of needles.
Fortunately, the mentors didn't make them wait for too long and Lin Yu finally speaks.
"Our pick in Angel's theme is... Team A!"
"!!!"
"WOOHHH!!" The crowd immediately cheered, especially for Team A's group. The trainees sitting in front stand up and applaud enthusiastically while He Yan's team huddles together for a tight embrace.
"W-We won!" A teammate happily said while his face still had the expression of being totally surprised by the announcement.
Xing Ren chuckles at the cute reactions of the group. "Well, we did it."
He Yan happily tapped Liang Jin's shoulder repeatedly. "It's all thanks to your idea, Brother Jin! It's really great!"
Liang Jin flush in embarrassment. "I-It's not entirely me. We all did a great job!"
He Yan's group looked at each other and cheered again while hugging in joy. Meanwhile on the other side, Lu NanXiao's team sighs in disappointment and could only pat each other to comfort. Some trainees who's in the lower class begin feeling bad premonitions inside their hearts. They did not win this round, which meant that they wouldn't have that double points.
Will they be one who'll be eliminated soon? Just that thought made them feel as if a huge burden struck inside them.
Just by imagining themselves out this early made some trainee's eyes reddened. Will they not have a chance to redeem themselves?
Looking at the dejected team, Jiang Su could only sigh at them. "Teams, please step aside and go back to your seats."
He Yan's team happily greeted their group's on the side while Team B's group remained silent. Seeing the contrast, Jiang Su knew that this is the cruel truth that everyone will face sooner or later. Pity is not needed in this competition. All you have to do is to work harder than everyone else to survive.
This is how their circle works. Training is hard and early rejections like this might be a big blow but Jiang Su thinks that the real fight is when they'll officially enter the industry. Every time, countless idols from various teams will fight just to be higher than anyone else. Even if the songs that they'll release are not that great, it's actually okay than being out of the picture.
They'll do anything just to not let the people forget them. Everyday is a survival.
And this competition is just a single step that they must overcome.
