Chapter 9: As distance tests a horse's strengt; time reveals ...

"As distance tests a horse's strengt; time reveals a person's character."

Two weeks had past since everyone moved in one room together with their group mates. After two months of sleeping in one big hall together with other trainees.

And two weeks has it been since Leona became a group leader. She continues to work hard, leading her group to practice their group performance, and individual skills; singing and dancing should become one. She continues to read and learn her module to keep up with her education, secretly.

Everyone gets to practice starting from 8am until 8pm. Every group leader has their own strategy of training. For example; Huian group started to practice and improve their body coordination. Since Huian is more experienced in hiphop she wants her group to work their own body coordination. Body coordination is a must have ability to every dancer. However, she wants more. She wants that power in every body movement. It irritates her to see her members moving so slow or so fast. She wants them to perfect every move. She wants perfection. Luckily, one of her member was a member of cheerleading squad.

Meanwhile, During the first week of group training, Liquan together with her group agreed to train their stamina. Singing and dancing at the same time isn't walk in the park. Liquan came to ask a crew, with the name of Tao, if they could make use of the gymm's equipment. Snow still fall, the ground still covered with thick layer of snow. It wouldn't be very pleasing to practice outside.

During their second week, they continued to work and enhance their stamina. Other groups that see what they do couldn't helped themselves but laugh. It started to worry Liquan's member, especially Jia. She gets to talk with everyone during lunch and dinner, she knows what's happening, and she knows that the other groups finished their group choreography. Her group has yet to start, not even scratch there is. She started to feel anxious of the situation, and unpleased of Liquan.

Third week came, Liquan and her group gather inside the spacious gymm, as usual. Jia rolled her eyes secretly. Jiao, Jiayi and Jiaying on the other hand choose to believe in Liquan decision. Though they're still worried of the upcoming performance.

They sat on the floor and Liquan started to speak.

"Today we're going to continue our group training. Actually, I planned to start with our group choreography today. Because, initially, we are supposed to decide on our own dance choreography. However, for an unknown reason, the plan has changed. We are given yet another week to finish the choreography. That gives us three weeks. But for the meantime, we need to continue our training."

"Sudden changed of plan? What about the other group?" Jia asked, confused of the situation. Would it not make other fuss since they've just finish each of their choreography.

"I don't know, let us focus on our progress." Liquan stood, the three girls followed. Jia, however, opted to lay on the floor to ponder over her thoughts. Jiao rolled her eyes of sight.

'Slack-off bitch!' (-_-=)

Lunch time came in no time. Jia immediately ran out the gymm without words. She enter the dining hall and saw her friends.

"Jia! Here!" Shouted Chen, her friend from the same hometown. Jia waved her hand and ran to Chen direction. She greeted Chen's group leader, Huian, and the others.

"Sit down, Jia." Huian smiled and motioned her to sit across here.

"Thanks!" Jia joyfully sat on the chair.

"How's practice?" Chen handed Jia her plate.

"As usual,"

"Training?" Chen added. Jia nodded. She put couple of spoonful rice on her place and took one piece fried chicken, leg.
