Chapter 42: Unqualified

"The first elimination round will officially begin. Please note that failure to advance forward in Class will be automatically eliminated. This means that if your name is not announced until the last, it means your failure to stay in this competition." Jiang Su's solemn words echo the whole place. Nervousness and excitement were once again written on every trainee's face and the cameras flying around were faintly recording their expressions.

This will be their first step to advance their dreams to debut.

"From Class F to Class E, those names that will not be announced for advancement towards Class D will be automatically eliminated." Silence prevails again and it seems like the only thing they can hear at this moment is the loud beats of their hearts as if it wants to get out from their chest. Some trainees held hands and closed their eyes while waiting for the final judgment.

And because the announcement was only for Class E to F, the trainees above were looking at their friends worriedly, also praying for their luck. It's probably only Qin An who's standing straight and still.

Of course it's actually not confusing because everyone already expected he's safe and just thought the latter wasn't nervous. They didn't know that Qin An's mind is actually not on what is happening right now.

Unknown to others, only him can see the black mist starting to appear here. Qin An didn't know why but after the elimination round began, black mist started to gather around the whole place. It wasn't thick but they just lingered around gradually.

It's resentment. But Qin An didn't see the evil ghost. He's not here. Then why is there black mist?

Just as Qin An was thinking, his ear twitches when he hears a faint groan behind him. He paused and looked at his back and saw a trainee looking pale. The young man's face looked very worried as if any minute from now, he'll pass out from fright.

Qin An looked at his face. Not because he was worried but he was looking at the black mist on the latter's head.

Only did Qin An remembered that the resentment in this era is the same as the mental pollution. He also notices that the black mist is hovering around the heads of everyone except for the mentors and Jiang Su.

Was it because they're mentally stable right now? That is the only thing that he could think of for an answer. Because of the elimination today, everyone's mood obviously wanted it, especially for the trainees on his side which had the total disadvantages to go forward.

Everyone thought that only those who are in lower classes will be in danger today but—

"Another thing." Jiang Su's words seem to welcome a bad omen that is unfortunately going to happen. "Classes above E and F will also have the chance to be eliminated. Now, the classes will only have 15 members each except for the Class S which will always have the quota for seven members." Jiang Su looked at the shocked expressions of everyone. "Which means that the total number that will advance for this round is 67. 33 of you today will fail to move forward."

"The order that will be mentioned will start from Class A. If your name is not mentioned, you will have the possibility of going down from your rank, but if your name will not be mentioned throughout the class, you are automatically eliminated. This is also the same for the trainees under Class S."

Jiang Su looked at the trainees solemnly. "Now, let's start."

The long bench above lightened up and a row of badges with the shape of heptagon carved with the silver four leaf clovers on the higher benches that symbolize Class A, while deep green three leaf clovers symbolizing the Classes of BCD appeared on the lower benches. The trainees look at the badges. Some look at them with familiarity while others look with anticipation.
