[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper

Chapter 22: Arrogance

Chapter 22: Arrogance

In the end, Shen Lou left with the mentors from the practice room to have a private talk. When they left, the members had anxiety on their faces because of the trouble. At the same time Qin An also saw a faint relief because they finally voiced their worries.

It seems that those days were a torture to them.

Qin An didn't join their conversation because something happened earlier.

He doesn't know if it's just an illusion but when Shen Lou walked outside the door, he saw a black shadow go out with him. That shadow wasn't as tall as a human, only it reached Shen Lou's waist. And due to its fast movement, Qin An thought at first that it was Shen Lou's shadow.

However, now that he's thinking about it, he knows that what happened earlier wasn't as simple as he thought.

What was that thing? He also noticed that it seems like he was the only one who saw it because others don't have reactions, especially Shen Lou who had that thing beside him.

If it's visible, I'm sure anyone would have seen it.

Yet, no one did.

Qin An took a deep breath. It's impossible.

This era doesn't have metaphysics anymore. All those things were just part of the history today. Science already dominated this interstellar and everyone doesn't believe any feudal superstition.

Maybe he saw it wrong?

Aside from that, Qin An did not feel the strange energy of this world. It's not the same as the Earth.

Yes, maybe he was just hallucinating.

Qin An thought he'll stop thinking about it, but as time passed he felt like standing at the tip of the needles that he couldn't sit still. Therefore, seeing they're not practicing, he went out.

Maybe he just needs to breathe.

Qin An walked mindlessly around the building and he also saw other groups practicing together. He didn't bother looking at them and wanted to go straight towards the balcony.

But just a few meters away, he saw Shen Lou and Pei Roujin standing outside. Qin An subconsciously stops his steps and because they didn't completely close the glass wall, he can hear their conversation from inside.

"Shen Lou, you have to change your point of view about being a leader." Pei Roujin's voice sounded first.

"Why?" Shen Lou's tone has a faint confusion. "I think I'm doing fine. I taught them, I made adjustments to improve our work, I directed them what to do because I know more than them. Wasn't that enough?"

Pei Roujin sighs with a bit of frustration. "Shen Lou... how do you define a leader? Being a leader is not just about directing or teaching them what to do based on your own perspective. As you knew, they are not as good as you so they had a hard time catching up on you. Just because you are the captain, it doesn't give you the full right to throw responsibility to them without even guiding them properly. What consideration did you think when you gave them the parts?"

"Through their ranks." Shen Lou's face was calm as he answered straightforwardly. "Since the lower the number, the greater the work, then I just assigned them based on their ranks because I thought they could do it as they were ranked higher than others." Confusion was painted on his face again. "However, I noticed that they couldn't do it. Instructor, why do they even rank in that class when they can't do better than those below them?"

Pei Roujin choked on his blunt words. He looked at the young man with a complicated face. He knew it. They knew things like this would happen when they saw the participants in this year's competition.
