Chapter 15: The winner of this battle is Qiao Dai (2)
The battles continued on stage but after Lai You’s defeat, the players were obviously more cautious. Most of them chose to challenge only one level; there were wins and losses and Class A was constantly changing.
The atmosphere was tense and anxious; when someone successfully defeated a player originally from Class A, the audience couldn’t help but get excited.
The live broadcast room was also very afflicted by the contestants’ emotions and viewers were all cheering for their favorite players.
[Sister, cheer up!]
[Sister Shi Qing, it doesn’t matter if you lose. Your choreography earlier was so beautiful!]
[Ah, why am I so excited watching the sisters battle??]
When the last player in class B battled, only the original eleven players in Class A were left. Some had been challenged and had lost, like Jiang Ruowei and Shi Qing, and they did not choose to fight against another A player. After all, for the players who had been defeated, it had already been a surprise to enter Class A in the first place. Even if it was only a Class A experience card, they gladly accepted the results.
Of course, it was mostly because they were not certain to win against the other As. In order to avoid being demoted to F like Lai You, they decided to stay in Class B honestly.
Theoretically, the players already in Class A were qualified to issue challenges, but the risks greatly outweighed the advantages. They had already entered Class A, even if they won, they would stay there while if they lost, they would be demoted to F. None of them would do something as crazy.
But just when everyone thought the battle was over, Song Yiqi suddenly asked: “Teacher, I’d like to challenge Luan Zhen, can I?”
As soon as her words fell, the atmosphere that had just died down was ignited again in an instant. Everyone looked in her direction; they had never thought they would be able to watch a double-A battle today!
[Our Song Song! I love watching our Great Devil Song perform!]
[Double A duel, whoooo. I am going crazy, this show is awesome!]
[Song Yiqi is so handsome! But I also love Luan Zhen very much! Ah, I will be in pain whoever loses!]
Song Yiqi was not a member of Galaxy but she was very popular. She was now looking at Luan Zhen with a smile, hoping she could compete with her. Lu Cong stared at her with some surprise and asked: “Are you sure you want to battle with Luan Zhen? You are both very strong.”
Song Yiqi was older than the rest of the players. She looked very bright, like a blooming rose, beautiful and full of thorns. At this time, she was smiling and nodding.
“Can I ask why?” Zheng Taijing was very curious. He liked Song Yiqi very much because she was both powerful and unique. She made the audience recognize her at first glance, and a girl group needed members like her.
Song Yiqi’s lips bent gently and she answered: “Because I like Luan Zhen very much, I can’t help but want to compare with her.”
It was only because of curiosity, she did not care about winning or losing. This was the scary thing about Song Yiqi and the reason her fans called her Great Devil Song. No matter what the rules were, as long as she was happy, she would do whatever she wanted.
[Ah, I love this sister so much.]
[Omg, I have fallen in love with her too!]
People who did not know her only thought she was crazy and unruly but for people who liked her, she was free and spontaneous. As long as she had fun, she would not care about losing or winning. And this behavior hit Lai You even more in the face.
Lai You had chosen to challenge Qiao Dai which had been normal. The problem was that she had been unwilling and made a scene when she had lost, instead of accepting the results. Such attitude contrasted sharply with Song Yiqi’s casual behavior, entirely demoting Lai You in their heart.
The whispers around her made Lai You’s face pale even more. She clenched her fist with hatred and complained in her heart Song Yiqi was provoking her on purpose. She was definitely just rubbing heat. Were the other players so stupid they couldn’t see Song Yiqi’s true intention?
A double-A duel was very topical. If Song Yiqi won, she was announcing her strength to everyone; if she lost, she was showing her courage and people would look forward to her coming back in the next issue.
Lai You did not dare to say anything because she knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, the other contestants would mock her and said she was also grabbing the attention; she really did not know how to justify herself if they did.
Thinking about it, Lai You became more and more irritable. It was too late to repent, she should have never challenged Qiao Dai and honestly battled Class B players instead. This way, she would have never been demoted to Class F.
The result of Luan Zhen and Song Yiqi’s battle was exactly as Lai thought. Song Yiqi had asked to compete with Luan Zhen using rap and after Song Yiqi’s loss, Luan Zhen had taken the initiative to hug her before saying: “You are awesome, I like you.”
Song Yi had smiled in return and replied: “My skills are not as good as yours just yet. But wait for me, I will definitely defeat you in the future.”
The mentors also laughed and applauded and this double A duel perfectly concluded the initial rating. Song Yiqi left Class A and joined nonchalantly to Class F as the other players were cheering and embracing her. There was no doubt that even if she had been demoted to the last class, in today’s recording, Song Yiqi was the most eye-catching.
Finally, the first rating was over. The list of each class had also been released and Jiang Fengchi announced the final result. The camera gave each member of Class A a shot; some were excited, some were politely thanking the mentors and finally, and when Qiao Dai’s sleepy yet wide-eyed face appeared, the live broadcast room laughed and cheered, congratulating all the girls for working hard.
At this point, the recording came to an end.
When the executive director announced the end of the show, the girls who were still tense just now collapsed in their seats like broken dolls. Today’s recording had been very long, both physically and psychologically, and it had been a challenge for all of the contestants.
“You have worked hard, everyone.”
The four mentors had been very serious during the recording of the show, but as soon as the cameras were turned off, they broke away from their tutor personas and began to ask all the contestants if they had any concerns and patiently explained everything.
“Teacher Jiang, will you come to Class A to guide us?”
Some of the more daring Class A players asked Jiang Fengchi with smiles on their faces. The girls surrounded him, eagerly asking all sorts of questions.
Zheng Taijing, Song Anni, and Lu Cong were also laughing and shaking their heads, making fun of him and joking that among them “Teacher Jiang” was definitely the most popular. Jiang Fengchi hurriedly defended himself in a serious manner and the atmosphere became instantly more lively.
“Well, everyone must be tired. Go back to the dormitory first.” Song Anni clapped her hands and reminded the contestants to go back to rest.
The program team had arranged a dormitory villa for the players. Five villas of different sizes were surrounding an artificial lake; as long as they opened their windows, they could all see the lake and the surface of the water. Each villa also had its own terrace on the water and the girls could walk freely to enjoy the scenery.
The eleven trainees from Class A lived in the first villa. They all had a separate room, a vocal and dance studio on each floor, and a public area that included a gym, a home cinema, and so on. The players opened their eyes wide when they discovered all the commodities.
By the time they had arrived at their villa, the sun was already setting and dyed the lake with a golden light. The water also reflected the villas and the landscape was filled with a quiet beauty.
Only the players from Class A were staying there and the other trainees followed the staff to reach their own respective villas. The others were divided into three, four, five, or six-person dormitories according to the classes. The training venues were also different; the advantage of entering Class A was clearly obvious. Looking at the magnificent residence in front of them, the other girls silently swore they would enter Class A at some point.
“Oh, by the way.”
Jiang Fengchi gestured to the PD who was following him and he immediately turned the camera off. Although the official recording was over, the program team would be constantly filming after each episode. It was a way to bring the audience close to the contestants and have them get more familiar with all of them from all angles. However, nobody knew whether they would attract fans of black powder this way just yet.
Unlike the players who had no say over the camera, Jiang Fengchi could stop the recording from time to time and as soon as the camera turned off, he said: “There is a broadcast arranged by the team later and I will come to see you. If you have any personal belongings, just hide them away from sight.”
Today’s final filming would last for an hour. The four mentors would come and comfort the contestants in different dormitories. As a man of the same age as the trainees, Jiang Fengchi wanted to remind them to avoid any embarrassing scene during the live broadcast.
“Really?”
“Can Teacher Jiang bring us food?”
“Oh, I dare not remove my makeup then.”
The girls began to talk all at the same time and while they were excited, they were all thinking about the things they should pay attention to during the broadcast. After all, Jiang Fengchi was a male celebrity and they had come to participate in the women’s team draft. They had to be particularly careful.
Although it was a little risky, it was also good. They just had to go through the motions, visit everywhere together and finally sit in the living room to chat. And thanks to Jiang Fengchi’s warning, they could be extra careful. If any male star visited a female contestants’ dormitories, it would be bad if anything went wrong and were to spread.
With these thoughts in mind, the girls who had just been a little excited calmed down and went to tidy their rooms.
Only Qiao Dai, who did not understand why they should worry, suddenly brightened after Jiang Fengchi’s words. She quickly returned to her room and opened her suitcase, before dragging something in the middle and putting it on the ground. She squatted next to it and started unfolding it.
“This.. what is this?”
Luan Zhen had not taken a lot of luggage and when she was done unpacking, she went to see if Qiao Dai needed any help. As soon as she opened the door, Luan Zhen’s eyes firmly locked on the item on the ground. Her eyebrows raised in surprise, it looked like the thing that had just appeared in Qiao Dai’s room was… a pool?
Luan Zhen: ?
Why was there a children’s swimming pool in the middle of the room?
