[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 20 - : A Way To Survive

Chapter 20: A Way To Survive

Unfortunately, what Li Bai's worrying about came true. From the moment everyone was called for an announcement and saw Qin An, everyone's face quickly changed as they seemed to understand something about him standing inside this training camp.

Something happened outside, right? And they knew these changes were clearly telling them that the company actually broke the rules for just someone like him.

If only Qin An has great talents and he was eliminated from unreasonable and various decisions, they'll probably think twice and even pity him.

But it wasn't.

Everyone was there and saw his lacking performance. They saw him not having a mental power which was a great disadvantage for him, saw him getting criticized and was even given three red cards by all the mentors.

It's totally a failure.

Yet, why is he here again?

They didn't seem to feel satisfied by the sudden changes of the competition.

After all, this idol show happens every year and there has never been a change in rules. But when someone like him came, did Dream Star actually compromise?

It's unfair for them.

"The company had already made a decision on this part and Qin An also won through a fair competition through global voting." Xu Xinyi explains after seeing their faint disagreement. However, even if Qin An won fairly among the failed auditionees, that's not what the trainees who passed thought.

They still think it's unfair.

Was it something because of Qin An's face? Then that could really be the reason.

The trainees didn't know how to express their feelings at this moment. It feels like there's a lump on their throat. They actually want to say something but they don't know how.

Was it Qin An's fault for being good-looking? Was it his fault that due to his face, he was able to catch everyone's attention that's why they want him to come back here? Did Qin An do something? He actually did not.

Qin An didn't try to manipulate the data, he didn't even post on starnet to gain sympathy- he basically just faded away and it was the crowd who insisted on joining him back. He also won this through an upright manner, right?

Qin An was just simply existing and made everyone not forget him so he was lucky and was given the chance again.

Can they blame him for being lucky? No, because it was fate who decided. No matter whom they would blame, nothing will change anymore anyway.

Everyone knew this so they could only grit their teeth and force themselves to not say anything at this moment.

"Okay, that's all for today. You can go back now and continue practicing." She waved her hand to dismiss everyone.

The trainees once again looked at Qin An before they left reluctantly. Qin An saw various expressions from their faces even if they tried concealing them.

Unwillingness and resentment.

From his perspective, Qin An also understood why they felt that. Under normal sequences, no one would feel happy if you saw this situation, right? It's all a mess. But Qin An also understands that this is probably his only way for now to survive.

He has to find a way to stay and earn money to live.

He also didn't care about what others thought about the company's decision. He was already used to being isolated due to his personality, strength or for any other reasons why everyone is not close to him.

He had no one in the past, so why bother minding others' thoughts about him?

Seeing him still indifferent even amidst everyone's reaction for his revival on stage, the mentor saw another side of Qin An. He wasn't just about being arrogant but also extremely indifferent.

And it's a bad thing in this competition because it's a group category. All of the mentors saw a bad foresight that this young man's issue will never be stopped at this point.

They would no doubt see this young man in trouble again sooner or later.

The three mentors looked at Qin An.

"Qin An, since you were a few days late, you only had three days left before the assessment ranking. Meaning, you'll have less time and bigger pressure about this." Xu Xinyi's eyes narrowed. "This time, I hope you'll prove your spot and take the stage seriously."

Qin An nod. "I understand."

Seeing this, although Xu Xinyi still has a cold expression, she nods as an acknowledgement after seeing his attitude. The arrogance was still there but it's only faint. It seems that what happened truly made him awake and was now conscious on how to prove himself. This is a good sign that he's willing to change and adjust.

"Okay. The robot will guide you to your room. Since your participation is unplanned, you'll have your own room today. It may be good but you'll have lesser exposure to the camera. Can you understand that?"

"Yes."

"Then I wish you good luck. We'll be expecting your performance in three days." Lin Yu said gently and gave him a cheer.

Pei Roujin also looks at him and speaks. "If you need help, don't hesitate to ask. Since you're part of the team, you are already our responsibility. We can teach you some points to improve."

For this offer, Qin An is not polite anymore and accepts it.

"Okay, then we'll meet 20 minutes later." Pei Roujin nodded in agreement.

After that, the three mentors leave him alone as he walks towards his room.

Qin An's mentality really changed after those few days. He watched various films and he learned about different emotions that a human could have.

He thinks being a human is too complicated. They have a complex psychology and point of views that he really couldn't understand. But even though, now that he accepted being an artist and taking this job, he will do his best to adjust.

In his previous life, he worked hard everyday and took his job as a grim reaper seriously. He was able to persevere for thousands of years so he didn't think he could adjust himself to this new life.

He also had to let go of some restraints and especially had to learn human emotions. It'll be hard especially for someone like him who already abandoned that thing inside him for too long a time. Another thing is about mental power. Since he doesn't have that, he couldn't achieve the standards perfectly. But even so, he has to think about different alternatives.

Even though Qin An thinks humans are too troublesome, they are also smart in many ways. He had seen many on Earth. Since mental power is not available, what's the use of high technology in this world? He'll gladly use 'traditional', then.
