[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 202 - 201: Ruthless Rule

Chapter 201: Ruthless Rule

When Qin An and Shen Lou was taken back to the training camp building, they were quickly surrounded by the other trainees especially He Yan who looked at them from the top to bottom and circling around them like a mother chicken checking on its chicks.

"Brother Lou, are you okay?" He Yan asked worriedly. The times that Qin An was brought outside with his brother was already too much for him to not feel anxious about them. He wanted to know the situation but knowing them, he knew that they didn’t want him to pry on matters that he didn’t have to know.

It’s just that looking at the increasing closeness between the two, he couldn’t help but feel sad and a little bit of envy inside his heart. He Yan definitely understands that he shouldn’t feel that way but he just can’t help it.

"We’re fine." As expected, Shen Lou just casually answered him with those words. If it’s in the past, he yan would probably think that Shen Lou just doesn’t want him to worry, but in this case, he felt a pang of disappointment especially that Qin An also nodded, clearly having a tacit understanding with Shen Lou.

"Oh," He Yan nodded but forced himself to smile again.

I shouldn’t worry about this. I just have to be glad that both of them are okay. he Yan cheered himself and his mood instantly went back to normal. He began babbling what happened when they were away with a bright smile.

Unknown to him, Qin An and Shen Lou’s eyes met and they both understood something.

Another news was delivered to their door when Su Jinxi told everyone that she had to leave the competition. This causes a ruckus to everyone as they are already convinced about her abilities as a mentor. Clearly, everyone felt that she was very suitable in the stage to teach them, yet now she’s telling them that she’ll leave? And with such a short period of time, they were even more confused. What is going on these days?

Or maybe just tell them her reasons so they wouldn’t feel bad? Su Jinxi understood their reasons and just told them that it was an emergency for her family that was apparently away from this place, thus she had to go back there immediately and stay there so she could only leave the competition. The trainees were disappointed but what can they do?

And what’s more, after she left, when evening came, a new situation would happen again to them.

It’s time to announce the results of the second group performance.

"Good evening, everyone." Standing in the middle of the stage is Jiang Su. "This evening, the results of the group performance will be announced today." He looked at everyone solemnly as he continued. "In addition, the announcement about the new rankings will happen as the first global voting was officially closed. Afterwards, the elimination will also begin and as I’ve said, only 45 trainees can continue the competition, which means 18 from 63 trainees will be eliminated today."

hearing the familiar word made the trainees filled with anxiety again. They remembered what happened from the last elimination and they couldn’t help but feel nervous. If they heard their name, would they also be like what happened to the former trainees?

Probably because the mentors noticed their thoughts so Lin Yu quickly speaks to appease them.

"Everyone, please don’t doubt yourself even if your journey will end here. This is not the only competition that will happen in this world. There will be other opportunities that may come as long as you continue practicing and believing in yourself. You may fail today, it doesn’t mean you’ll be a failure forever." He looked at everyone with a gentle face and raised his fist slightly to cheer them on. "I believe you can do it. You will shine on the stage that belongs to you."

The trainees nodded with teary eyes with a new belief inside their hearts. They believe that they can do it too!

"Okay, I will announce the results of the second group performance first." Jiang Su said and two virtual images of the first two groups to perform appear in front of them.

It was from Sheng Yan and Cao Ming’s group.

Everyone stared nervously at the screen in front of them. These were the groups wherein their Captain themselves had issue. The second shoot had greatly affected their first performance on stage and they remembered how the mentors expressed their disappointment to each team.

Now, they can’t guess who will win between them anymore.

"The winner between this group is... Congratulations to Team A, Sheng Yan’s group!"

"!!!"

As they heard the results, the expression of the members quickly brightened as they cheered in joy.

"Each of the members received points that helped their evaluation results from the mentors." Jiang Su finally revealed the purpose of the winning team in this round. "Each trainee was given points from the criteria of winning. Some members of the group may even receive lower points yet due to their winning group, it helped them through the Class ranking."

Upon seeing the envious expression on the trainees’ faces when they heard this kind of setup, Jiang Su continued his explanation.

"... Or vice versa."

"???"

"!!!"

The crowd were stunned. They looked at Jiang Su in surprise and only to find his expression looks like someone who played with them.

"Even if your team won, there is really no guarantee that your Class rank is high. It may depend on the total amount of points given by the mentors and the guests overall."

"..." The crowd were speechless and it can be seen that Sheng Yan’s group members expressed their anxiety once again.

"Aside from that, the Class rankings will also rearrange... after today’s elimination." Jiang Su casually dropped another bomb again. "Which means that even if you were ranked higher, there is still no guarantee that you can continue the competition without the help from global votings."

The words that they heard felt like thunder was slapped to their face. Worry and doubt filled inside their hearts as they didn’t expect such a ruthless twist.

If they don’t have enough votes from outside, wouldn’t that mean that even if they worked hard to improve and impress the audience, it was still not enough?

Then... What about the trainees who came from wealthy families?

Is this too unfair to them?

This realization made some trainees’ faces turn pale as they knew the situation they are in is far more dangerous than they imagine.
