Chapter 24

Lunatic Tyrant Under the Moonlight

First to take the stage for the mid-term check was Yang Jeong-moo's team.

"Hello, as refreshing as soda! We are the Carbonated Boys! Wow!"

Gunja was taken aback by their lively introduction. What kind of showiness was this?

"What's that about, Yu-chan ?"

"It's their team introduction. Doing something like that definitely makes an impression."

Gunja nodded at Yu-chan 's explanation. Indeed, with such extravagance, it would be hard to forget.

Taewoong and Hyeon-jae seemed to regret not having prepared a team introduction.

"Oh, maybe we should have done something like that..."

"Yeah."

Gunja chuckled lightly at their regret. Was it really such a big deal not to have made a fuss? They could just do it now.

In the meantime, 'Carbonated Boys' finished their performance. They handled the refreshing track [Big Wave] by the boy group Youngsters quite cleanly. The concept of the song and the team composition blended well on stage.

The trainers seemed pleased, smiling as the performance ended.

"Jeong-moo, you picked a great song!"

"Hehe."

"The concept was spot-on, and the choreography was clean."

"Everyone's expressions were so cute and lively. Did you teach them that?"

"Yes! I taught them!"

Yang Jeong-moo was not shy about boasting. He was quite the opposite of modest. If he had been born in the Joseon Dynasty...

Gunja shook his head at the mere thought.

"Well then, let's see Gunja's team perform next."

"Sure."

Gunja's team took the stage.

"Did this team prepare any introduction?"

"Ah, well..."

Just as Hanyeo was about to offer an excuse, Gunja suddenly spoke up.

Though flamboyance wasn't his style, he would accommodate his teammates' wishes.

"Hello! I am the Lunatic Tyrant!"

"...?"

The enthusiastic introduction immediately chilled the atmosphere. Only trainer Jang Min-hyuk seemed to find it amusing, laughing heartily.

Huh? Why was the mood so different from earlier?

After laughing for a while, Jang Min-hyuk finally spoke up.

"Cough, cough, Gunja, what was that exactly?"

"...My teammates were disappointed that we didn't prepare an introduction..."

"Oh, so you did that because of Jeong-moo's team?"

Gunja timidly nodded.

Wasn't it just about being flashy?

The introduction had been prepared with great effort, but perhaps he misunderstood something.

"That's a team introduction, but what you did was a personal introduction."

"Ah..."

"Haha, you really crack me up."

Seeing Gunja sulk, Taewoong and Hanyeo patted his shoulder, though they too were struggling to keep their laughter in.
