“Now then, let’s start the stage for team 2-!”

Finally, Team 2’s stage began and my teammates and I watched the monitor installed in the waiting room with nervous eyes.

These are two teams that until recently made a creaking sound due to discord… , I couldn’t help but be nervous as the members were members.

As soon as I swallowed my saliva out of nervousness, the intro to the second team’s song played.

♪♬♪♬-!

“… Um.”

As soon as I heard the intro, I didn’t immediately think of anything.

This was because there was no significant difference from what was heard at the mid-term inspection.

‘Did we just decide to proceed without making any major changes? ?’

Unlike us, who drastically changed the song’s concept and genre as soon as the mid-term inspection was over, Team 2 seems to have decided to just stick with the original song like during the mid-term inspection.

but… , Obviously, Team 2’s stage at that time was a mess.

‘How much has changed.’

I focused on the stage, focusing on what areas Team 2 had changed from before.

And as soon as I saw Seo Yu-jin’s part in the introduction, I could tell what team 2’s thoughts were in preparing the stage.

-Fly in the sky someday

-Over the lake and above it

“What… .”

“The dance is different. Did they create it?”

Team 2’s song 22nd Night’s is a song from the late 2000s that sounds old now, but is still treated as a masterpiece.

This was because each member performed the song incredibly well with their outstanding singing and rapping skills.

Thanks to this, the difficulty level of the song is incredibly high… .

On the 22nd night, when I was in my prime, I would sing this song live without difficulty every time I went on stage.

Many believe this is due to 22nd Night’s overwhelming vocal ability, and while this is true, there is an additional point.

A change in dance difficulty.

In the past, instead of idols singing difficult songs live,… , the difficulty of the dance was not as intense as it is now.

However, these days, idols are becoming more popular in terms of performance, and flashy dance is more important than singing ability.

The reason why idols are unable to perform live these days is because the difficulty of dancing has become more difficult.

And is definitely a song by an old idol.

Although required excellent singing skills, the choreography difficulty was not that great.

but… .

-Ignored by others

-Spread your black wings

-To that sky

“Wow… Wow, that’s crazy… .”

“You dance like that and you don’t miss a single note… .”

Now, Team 2 has maintained the song’s difficulty level and added their own choreography.

The brilliant technique of old idols and the dazzling dance of modern idols.

It meant killing two birds at once.

And Seo Yu-jin surprisingly performed it well.

“… Was he that skilled?”

This could also be seen through Nahanna’s words to herself as she watched the stage.

Na Hanna, who usually rarely expresses emotions, is a little impressed when she sees Seo Yu-jin.

That’s how great Seo Yu-jin’s performance was.

They performed an intense dance and succeeded in concentrating the audience on the stage with their unique technique.

‘It looks like you’ve practiced a lot.’

From here, I was able to infer how much blood and sweat Seo Yu-jin had shed.

Although she has always shown excellent skills and ranked 3rd in personal voting… , the appearance he is showing now can be considered at the level of an active idol.

A lot of effort must have been put into raising it to that stage level.

‘This might be dangerous… .’

After successfully completing our stage… To be honest, I was about 80% confident that our first team would win, but looking at Seo Yu-jin now, I thought we might lose.

However, the moment Seo Yu-jin finished and the part passed on to the next team member… .

-The world sees us

-… D, I said it was me.

“Oh.”

“… Oh, I was limp.”

… The thought that our team might lose disappeared.

“… I made a mistake.”

“That’s right, because the difficulty level of the stage right now is too much for everyone except Yoo Seol and Seo Yujin.”

Come to think of it, don’t all the members of that team have Seo Yujin’s level of skill?

Maybe they couldn’t adapt to the crazy stage difficulty that required both excellent singing and dancing at the same time… .

“Oh, it looks like the movement line is a bit twisted over there? Collision.”

“There’s one person dancing alone… .”

I kept making fatal mistakes.

Thanks to this, concentration on the stage was broken and the atmosphere began to be filled with sad emotions.

Because of this, Seo Yu-jin, who was trying to lead the stage somehow, began to lose her concentration on the stage.

-Let’s go.

-A sword with black wings… , to the moon!

Finally, Seo Yu-jin, who was struggling on her own, also lost the beat and the stage became a mess.

Other team members started making mistakes over and over again… , Seo Yu-jin could not cover up those mistakes.

Of course, Yu Seol’s performance was excellent even during that time.

-Fly away-!!

“Wow, how many octaves is that… ?”

“… Crazy.”

She completed her assigned role as the main vocalist of team 2.

Not only did she emit an unrivaled high note on the bridge with her explosive voice, but at the same time, she moved smoothly without a single mistake in the dance.

But that was all.

Yu Seol showed a solid performance alone and was unable to blend in with the other team members who were failing.

It’s truly a military study.

The more the other team members made mistakes, the more Yu Seol’s individual abilities stood out.

‘Could it be that they were aiming for it? ?’

This made me wonder if Yoo Seol was aiming for this point.

In this way, the stage progresses for two teams where the team as a whole is a minus, but Yu Seol is a plus… .

-Let’s go, ah.

– To the moon of the sword -!

– Spread your black wings,

I wondered if I could hold on somehow… , In the end, the team members, who continued to perform on a difficult level of difficulty, made a series of mistakes toward the end, perhaps due to physical strength issues.

‘It’s over… .’

Although I didn’t show it because I was in front of the camera, I already sensed that our team would win.

The last part of Team 2’s was so bad that it could easily be called a disaster.

‘Regretful.’

Seo Yu-jin’s struggle to successfully complete the performance was caught on camera.

However, Seo Yu-jin’s face was quite red, as if she already felt that their performance was ruined.

‘But there’s not much left, so finish well.’

They say it can’t be helped if it’s already failed, but shouldn’t we at least finish it well so we can look forward to the next time?

But my support was meaningless… .

-Black ego, Black moons, Black… , oh.

“Uh… !”

“Ahh… .”

One team member continued rapping and then stopped as if he had paused.

He completely lost his part and the dance stopped, so the formation was disrupted.

Me, my teammates, trainers, and even the audience… , Everyone expected a catastrophe as soon as they saw that scene.

But that was then.

-Black sky, Black wings and all of us Black swans!

As if someone had touched the baton, someone continued singing the interrupted rap.

… It was a rumor.

“No, it’s not even his part… .”

Yoo Seol performed the rap part, which was not his part, while dancing vigorously at the same time.

Even that wasn’t the end of Yu Seol’s actions.

-Fly away-!

-Show it to the world-!

-Black wings can equally fly through the world-!!

“That wasn’t originally Yoo Seol’s part… !”

“But why are you doing so well… ? Crazy… .”

While the team members were confused, Yoo Seol took the part and started singing it himself.

In one way, it was a robbery of a part, but in another way, it was saving the team from a crisis.

Other team members beat… , Yu Seol performed the part where he couldn’t even hit the notes brilliantly, or even better.

-Let’s all go together.

-Into the black world-!

“… Is that really an ad-lib?”

“… … Wow.”

“… I just admire it.”

like that… , The last part of the two teams’ stage ended with Yu Seol’s solo performance, almost as if it were a private concert.

and… .

“Waaaa-!!”

“Crazy-!!”

“Yu Seol-!!”

As soon as the stage ended, tremendous reactions poured out from the audience.

In particular, the era addressed to Yu Seol was the main focus.

It was worth it.

Yu Seol, who was able to perform rap, high notes, and dance on his own at the last moment, was not only an all-rounder, but was almost a thousand-handed fanatic.

“Wow… , but really, Seol-nim, the last part is… .”

“… That girl is a trainee like us?”

“Even if I debut right away, I think I’ll be better than my active first-team player… .”

Even if they were the enemy team, our team 1 members showed their awe towards Yoo Seol, as if they had no choice but to admit it.

It was the same for me, and probably everyone who just saw the performance had the same reaction.

As someone who just entered the idol industry, I couldn’t help but be impressed by Yu Seol.

But at the same time… .

After seeing these people’s reactions, I somehow became convinced of what Yu Seol’s goal was.

Team 2, which Yoo Seol belongs to, is made up of participants whose level is much lower, except for her and Seo Yujin.

‘So, as soon as they chose the highly difficult , they immediately gave up on the team competition and left all leader and center roles to Seo Yu-jin.’

If Yoo Seol had let go, it would have been difficult for Seo Yujin to lead the team alone.

Therefore, on the competition stage, the gap in skill between Yoo Seol and his teammates widens… .

‘A brilliant appearance in this contest.’

Even in the filming, it is revealed that Yoo Seol was sick and could not participate in practice.

If it airs… , it was clear that her genius would be further highlighted along with sympathy for her.

Of course, this may be easier said than done, but in reality, this was a huge gamble and full of risk factors.

But the result… .

“Yu Seol-!!”

“Yu theory-!”

I could hear the audience chanting for her up to here, so I said everything.

maybe… , Even if they don’t receive many votes in the team contest, if today’s performance is broadcast, they will be able to collect individual votes.

‘It was a good strategy. but… .’

also… , I couldn’t help but dislike the method.

That’s right… In the end, Yoo Seol may have stood out as an individual, but the team competition ended up being a disaster.

No matter how wild Yu Seol was at the end, it was clearly a failed performance.

and… .

“… … .”

… Seo Yu-jin, who was at the center of the stage, had a dissatisfied expression on her face, as if she was going to cry at any moment.

‘… ‘That’s a bit dangerous.’

As soon as I saw Seo Yu-jin’s expression like that, I couldn’t help but feel anxious, wondering if an accident might happen.

And this anxiety of mine… .

“Team 1 participants. Now that Team 2’s stage is over, we will have a joint interview with Teams 1 and 2. Please come out on stage right now.”

“Yes!”

“Yerin, let’s go.”

“… Yes.”

… Soon it became reality.
