The first performance gets 12 points. Pretty impressive, and they deserve it.
The rest of my class is surprised at Poro giving a 3 out of 6 for the performance, but I expected that. His standards are almost impossible to beat.
"That person... seems really strict, huh?" I hear Iruma say.
You don't say.
"You were picking a fight with that same person earlier."
"Huh-!?"
I twist my ring. I'm really nervous now. If I can't prove myself to Uncle, he'll make me leave.
We need to do well.
Not just for me, or for the Royal One.
We need to prove once and for all that we deserve what we've all worked for.
Including Soi.

As we're all sitting down talking, Kalego steps forward.
"It's time," he says, "stand up."
I head into a changing room and emerge in a black suit, a tie, a long white pleated skirt and dress shoes.
As I take over last deep breath, I hear the crowd chanting:
"Misfits! Misfits! Misfits! Misfits! Misfits!"
Time for me to prove myself as a Misfit. This is what I've been waiting for since I entered the Misfit Class.
This is what everything so far has been for.
...
Here goes nothing.

The piano ramps up to the climax. Iruma and I are putting everything we have into this moment, and I'm sure the dancers are too.
"...Come! I want... I want to meet you!"
It's all on you now, Soi.
As it reaches its peak...
C'mon! Show everyone!
The trumpet begins, and with it he appears.
You really had to come to us at the last second, huh?
And you say you don't like standing out.
.
.
.
"I want to find a love that burns like fire!"
Iruma and I strike the final chords.
The crowd goes wild.
I run over to Soi and drop a surprise hug on him before anyone else gets near. Then everyone else joins in, and we bow to the audience.
I... I did it! I didn't even mess up once! No one did!
More importantly, I was- no, we were right! He showed. I realize I haven't stopped smiling since he appeared.
Now, it's scoring time.
Was it enough to impress Poro?
"Whoa- wow wow wow! Both Ms. Kyupa and Meimei gave full points!"
"And now, for the last... huh?"
Poro's holding up... a 1?
Huh?
