Chapter 06: Evaluation

"Are you a human?"

Everyone seems to still eat that question, and even Qin An himself wonders what went wrong in his performance that made her say those words. But before he could think anything, Pei Roujin and Lin Yu's virtual body appeared beside her.

Lin Yu has a faint complicated gaze on his eyes but still tries to smile at him. "Qin An, wow, that was an unexpected performance actually. You managed to replicate Bai Yue's infamous Ice Love with every exact movement." He chuckles. "I really thought I faced artificial intelligence as a participant today."

After that, Lin Yu didn't say anything, which made him somewhat confused by that behavior. For the past 43 participants, he will always add motivation to everyone, perfectly exuding his gentlemanly side. So far, even if the participant failed, his words always gave them comfort.

Yet now, he didn't say anything.

What went wrong? Qin An thinks his performance, albeit not perfect, at least was passable. However, Qin An actually didn't want to perform this. Although the movements are easy for him, this was not his style at all. Who would have thought that a rigid and stoic grim reaper would perform like that?

But as Lin Yu said, he perfectly replicated Bai Yue's movements without any failure. For him living for thousands of years, that was only a piece of cake. What's the point of him being a senior grim reaper if he wasn't outstanding in all aspects? Was that enough? Or was it because he didn't sing?

It's not that Qin An doesn't want to, but he was hesitant because never in his life did he sing. Dancing was okay because it feels like moving while fighting. He fought countless times already so he easily accepted it, but singing? Even if he received idols, actors or professional singers back then, he just stood there and let them sing for whatever they wanted.

Even for some grim reapers who also enjoy trying human life, he didn't bother to participate.

"It seems that you don't even know what your performance was all about." His reverie went halt when Xu Xinyi's voice resounded. Her eyes sharpen. "Qin An, are you satisfied with your performance?"

He didn't answer.

"Heh." Xu Xinyi sneers. "Then you can roll."

Everyone gasps at her disdainful remarks.

"Instructor Xu, please calm down." Lin Yu intervenes. "Comrade Qin, aside from the movements of Ice Love, what is the other most important thing while learning it? It is the emotion. Dancing or even singing must have that. For all the things that we must do, we must put emotions into it for everyone to connect with you."

"The reason why Instructor Xu questioned you is about the lack of your performance. Comrade Qin, yes, your performance was a perfect replica, but there's no soul." Lin Yu explains patiently. "Comrade Qin, have you experienced being in love?"

"No." He simply answers.

Lin Yu nods. "Then I can see why you are really struggling especially when it's Ice Love that you pick. Comrade Qin, skills aren't enough nor even talents. No matter how strong your vocal is nor how perfect your movements are, if it doesn't even have an emotion, it will only end in failure."

"You have seen the performances of other contestants here. Even if they couldn't totally grasp the emotions, at least they tried. But what about you?"

"You're perfunctory. Do you take this stage lightly?" Pei Roujin also intervened. "If that's the case, then maybe Instructor Xu is right. You can leave here."

"Don't be arrogant here. You think too highly about yourself." Xu Xinyi added again, making Lin Yu smile helplessly but didn't speak again.

... Because he also agrees.
