[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper

Chapter 20: Fatal Flaw

Chapter 20: Fatal Flaw

An hour passes after the discussion and the members of each theme are finally confirmed. However, some trainees have an ugly expression on their faces because they feel they are not placed in the group that they want to be.

Because each theme can only have 10 members, the captains have the right to pick the members that they want inside the team and of course, those who weren't chosen became resentful. It weren't for the mentors who were there and there are cameras around filming, their expression would have been worse. But what choice can they have? So they can only grit their teeth and swear to themselves that they have to improve better than them so when they are ranked higher, they can finally have the right to speak.

After submitting the final members, the mentors let them go to their respective places.

Shen Lou's group went to the large practice room and as the team captain, Shen Lou spoke first.

"Let's look at the video first." Shen Lou touched the virtual buttons on the wall and the large projector immediately floated in front of them, releasing the dance video of the devil's theme 'Save Me'.

On the virtual screen, they saw ten animated young men wearing plain white shirts and black pants. They were also wearing white masks so they cannot see the expression on their face. This is actually intentional. The company will only provide the dance moves that they have to execute and it's all on them to think about how to express the song— everything.

Even though 'Save Me' is a song about longing for freedom, since its theme is devil, the tune and melody of the song is slower, mysterious and cold.

"Walking to the aisle of darkness
Here I am caged in the abyss
There's a monster, monster
But I'm more than a monster..."

All of them were intently looking at the video and some members also began thinking about what part they wanted to take. As much as possible, they have to take the part which has more lines and exposure. That's the only way to make their rank higher if they will be noticed by the audience and the mentors.

Qin An is also looking at the video. Even if the song is much slower, the dance movements are quite complicated and there are even high notes amidst the bridge of the song. In terms of his abilities now, truthfully, Qin An knew that it'll be hard for him. Looking at the members of the team, he knows what they are thinking but is not interested. He knew his limits, there's no need for him to be eager and it will only backfire him.

And as he expected, when the video ends, before Shen Lou could speak, the members started talking about the parts that they wanted to take.

"I want to take part 2. I can sing it well."

"You? But I think I can too. Besides, my rank is higher than yours. I think I could do better than you."

"That's unfair though. I want..."

Sounds of quarreling and overlapping conversation echoes the practice room and as seconds goes by, Qin An sees Shen Lou's face turn darker. Shen Lou's cold aura seeped from his body but the members still ignored the increasing cold temperature around.

Until a heavy coercion from his mental power suddenly breaks which silence them. A cold shiver went down their spine and some members who had lower mental power couldn't help but shrank their heads and broke out cold sweat.

Qin An's eyes narrowed when he felt the faint coercion. Because he had no mental power and Shen Lou's mental attack didn't include him, he didn't feel the heavy burden that suddenly seems to put on their heads; but even though Shen Lou's strength is S+, Qin An still feel it lightly.
