"Yes! Now that you've been divided into Team A and Team B according to the shuffle results!" the MC announced.

"Then you'll have a match against the other team!" the MC added.

For Leti, Team A included participants with numbers: 4, 7, 12, 15, 33, 37, 38, and 62. Team B consisted of participants with numbers: 16, 17, 24, 27, 41, 51, 59, and 72.

I looked at the shuffle results and realized I was on the same team as Ryu Jeongwoo. This meant he could potentially help me improve my dance skills.

He might even become my friend once I get the chance to talk to him!

Team A's numbers 4 and 7, specifically Ha Iljun and Heesung, were celebrating together, excited that they remained on the same team even after the shuffle.

⌜ That isn't such a bad team, you've got a lot of skilled team mates, Host! ⌟

I'll be the judge of that,

⌜ I really shouldn't be surprise by your blunt remarks. ⌟

Shouldn't you get used to it by now?

Team B began gathering in a circle as Ryu Jeongwoo took the lead, starting to brief them on their strategy.

Ryu Jeongwoo’s confident voice carried over to the rest of the team as he laid out the plan, his natural leadership pulling everyone in. I watched intently, eager to learn and be part of the group. Maybe this would be the moment I could connect with him and the others, finally making some meaningful progress.

⌜ He is off to another good start. ⌟

"I'm Nam Seojun, please take good care of me." I said politely, hoping to make a good first impression just like Ryu Jeongwoo. Thankfully, everyone was quite welcoming.

Ryu Jeongwoo acknowledged my words with a nod, a small smile playing on his lips.

"I'm Ryu Jeongwoo; please take care of me," he said, giving a brief introduction to his new teammates.

Others started to take turns giving brief introductions, each sharing a bit about themselves with the group.

⌜ SIDE QUEST COMPLETE!
Interact to the other participants 8/8 ⌟

And that’s how I managed to complete my side quest, just by cramming it in at the last moment.

⌜ I am honestly not surprised at all, Host. (¬_¬) ⌟

⌜ You always cram everything even when you were █████ ⌟

I stared blankly at the air in confusion as another notification appeared on the screen. "?"

What were you saying?

⌜ I said that you are already █████, Host. ⌟

The system gazed at its Host for a few moments before realizing that Seojun couldn't see it.

The system glanced at the screen, noticing that on its end, everything was clear, while from Seojun's perspective, it was blurred out.

I glanced over and noticed Moondae standing there, looking completely lifeless, as if his soul had left his body, while the other members were animatedly engaging with one another.

"Have all the participants greeted each other?" the MC asked before moving on. "Great! Now, it's time for our selection song!" he announced enthusiastically.

⌜ I'd be much more happy if Host has that same energy of enthusiasm. ( ｰ̀εｰ́ ) ⌟

I gave the system a blank, eerie smile, and with a sarcastic tone, I beamed, "Hm, are you?"
