[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 28 - : The Ace

Chapter 28: The Ace

"On this assessment today, the mentors will finally rank you according to the class that you'll be in. Please be sure to do your best because the lower the rank, the more it is to have the possibility of getting eliminated." Jiang Su's words once again ignited the nervousness around.

Elimination. Only they themselves know how heavy this single word is. It's totally a tantamount of what kind of ending they have to face in this journey.

No one wants that fate. They are all just the same, filled with dreams and reasons to persevere in this competition.

Jiang Su smiled to comfort them. "Remember to just be yourself on the stage, trainees. Now, let's begin the assessment ranking test." The crowd applause for a second before Jiang Su calls the first contestant.

"Shen Lou, please come to the stage."

"!!!"

Everyone gasps at the name. Shen Lou, he's the trainee who got the highest votes. They seem to feel a bad premonition. Will they call according to the votes?

They felt speechless and hopeless at the same time. Was this letting them see the strongest first? This can definitely make them feel even more pressured! What's more, if they are the first to perform, there's a possibility that the mentors' standards will get higher. That will only lessen the chances for them to get a higher rank.

Jiang Su seems to know what they are thinking but the latter just smiles at them. If it were in the past, his smile means giving encouragement, but now... cunning! The company is very insidious!

They could only grit their teeth and accept fate.

Shen Lou stood in the middle of the huge stage while wearing a formal dark red coat. He was standing straight like steel and had the temperament of a mix of arrogance and pride. Shen Lou has a cold and strong features and it was his perfect arc jawline that stood out on him. Just by looking at him, anyone can distinguish him as a capable opponent.

And he really does have the capital among all of them. Although Shen Lou came from a deep background and it's even unlikely for his personality, everyone was shocked when he chose to become a trainee. It's not that his family will oppose, but Shen Lou came from a military family and he has capability to enter as a soldier even if it's just based on his physical and mental attributes.

Fortunately, the years of agony had passed and the government no longer forces their citizens to be soldiers. It's an era of their peaceful days and Zerg's attacks were only minimal.

At this point, what everyone focuses on is mental pollution. Since there is no cure, they could only find ways to appease it.

Back to the present, Shen Lou's appearance on stage really brought a huge pressure to everyone. He was the first among them and they knew that it's already expected for him to debut soon.

"We've been longing for a dream

A wish that starts within..."

And when he opened his thin lips to sing, his strong range of voice was quickly acknowledged. Even though Shen Lou was singing the same lyrics and dancing with the same movements, instead of being like the tiny light on the galaxy, he exudes a feeling of being proud.

Completely showing a different style and approach from what the mentors performed earlier.

"The wish that seems too hard to reach

I dimmed and asked myself..."

Performing on stage seems to unveil who he really is. Shen Lou is never a person who likes to express his feelings and is never emotional. But on stage, he was very willing to take off the mask to fully express the meaning of the song. Not just to give justice but it is also his way of emphasizing his sincerity.

A respect to the stage and his passion to debut. This is perhaps why Shen Lou has many supporters not only because of his identity nor his skills but with the sincerity of his heart to express willingness on stage, it just made the crowd who love him feel deeper.

At this moment, Shen Lou is just like the ordinary trainees who's eager to debut on a real stage. It's very similar to what he wants to convey.

His message was to tell that since he's born, he was already destined to stand on stage. That even if he's just a tiny light, one will always notice him and never treat him as no one.

Like a star that never goes down.

And he successfully ignited everyone's heart to believe we are not born for nothing, so as we chase our dreams, let us be proud to stand even amidst the others' dazzling light in the universe.

Meanwhile, the Director at the back looked at the expressions of the trainees and felt smug. Just these faces will definitely be a material for the next episode.

"Be sure to capture all the expressions in every performance. We can't leave anyone behind," he said while sitting on his swivel chair with his legs dangling on the side.

He was feeling smug and proud about the rules of the assessment ranking test at the moment when the next second, Qin An's expressionless face flashed on the monitor.

"?!!!" Qian Jin's eyes twitch. What's wrong with Qin An's expression? Even if he doesn't feel anything, can't he just act as if in shock?! This kid will ruin the program!

He grit his teeth and instruct everyone. "Be sure to capture this kid's expression! I want to see if he can maintain this stone sculptured face when he sees Shen Lou's performance!"

"Yes, Director!"

Outside, Qin An felt like something is looking at him again. And instead of human, it feels something else. Was that the camera?

He wanted to raise his brow. Now that he's a human, his senses also became like a normal person especially since he has no mental power to detect it.

But that doesn't mean include his instincts. His gut feeling is always accurate so the feeling of being monitored intently was seen by him. What does this mean? Do they hope to see him hopeless because he's the weakest among the trainees? Since the order will base from the highest to lowest, Qin An will be the last to perform today.

Meaning, the most pressure is on him. Qin An can also feel the faint gloating around while taking glances around him. But as always, he doesn't care.

Why would he care?

So Qin An's face remained expressionless even later when his name was finally called to perform.
