The Rookies’ showcase this time was held in a rented university gymnasium rather than the previous Naaah set.

Unsurprisingly, tickets sold out as soon as the site opened.

But unfortunately, the Park Yoo-jung incident broke out a week before the showcase… .

“Yujeong… , are you okay?”

“Then! It’s okay! Yoojung didn’t do anything wrong… !”

At the showcase, fans expressed their concerns about the rookies, especially Park Yoo-jung, as well as their anticipation for the new song.

In conclusion, public opinion has turned around, and all the Rookies fans here naturally believe in Park Yoo-jung’s innocence… .

This was because the internet was still in turmoil, with people still saying that Park Yoo-jung did something wrong.

I’m worried that this might interfere with Rookies’ activities…

Fans sighed in concern for the rookies.

In contrast….

“Did you check the camera tape properly? So that it doesn’t break in the middle.”

“All the questions have been selected.”

The reporters who visited the showcase were filled with excitement.

People love sensational news, no matter what.

A member of a girl group at the peak of their popularity is embroiled in allegations of school violence.

Even now, many people in Internet communities are talking and discussing the Park Yoo-jung incident.

It can only be a good thing for reporters to have the opportunity to interview the subject of such a hot topic.

Of course, I was threatened by NAS that they would not accept questions that were too direct or rude.

But the reporters had a knack for beating around the bush.

They were already not very interested in the Rookies’ new song stage and instead, they were full of thoughts on interviewing Park Yoo-jung’s reaction to this incident by using a well-planned questioning strategy.

So the fans were worried… and the reporters were excited, but the stage went dark.

“Waaa-!”

“Gyaaa-!”

The fans who sensed that the stage was about to begin were the first to cheer.

Papat.

As if responding to the fans’ cheers, the lights on the stage soon turned back on.

And the first thing fans saw was….

“… … .”

From the introduction, Ha Ye-rin was in the center.

.

As the title implies, which carries the meaning of deviation, Ha Ye-rin and the members give off a completely different vibe from the time of .

especially….

“ and… .”

Ha Ye-rin, wearing a black-toned outfit at the center, looked as beautiful as a modern-day fallen angel.

There’s professionally styled hair and sharp makeup.

The usual cold and blunt image and the Hemeko of this stage created extreme synergy.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Although Rookies fans knew better than anyone that Ha Ye-rin was pretty, this time they couldn’t keep their mouths shut.

The gap between the cute image Ha Ye-rin showed in the self-content rural entertainment show and Ha Ye-rin’s appearance on stage after a long time was so big that it came as an even greater shock.

♪♬♬-!

The showcase stage began with the atmosphere being overwhelmed by Ha Ye-rin.

**

I’ve always been sincere on stage.

Of course, it can’t be otherwise.

Because it was the ‘audition’ program that gave me the opportunity to debut.

In a system where if you lose on stage or show a bad performance, you are eliminated… .

I performed on stage with all my might, even cutting down on sleep.

And after debuting as a rookie, that venom has largely disappeared.

Since we’ve already debuted, there’s no longer any competition for us to push and pull each other down.

Of course, the sense of crisis has been heightened since Python came into being, but it has been weaker than when Naa was born.

But now I’m trying to perform on stage with the emotions and venom I felt at that time.

‘Rookies is a group that will fail soon anyway.’

Python’s Oara said that our rookies would fail… and there were actually several crises.

The first is Shin Si-woo’s school violence incident and the second is Park Yoo-jung’s school violence incident.

We overcame those two crises well, but… people are making a lot of noise about our rookies.

‘If this is going to hinder the Rookies’ activities… If the reason why the Rookies failed, as Oara said, isn’t over yet…’

Since debuting in Rookies, I have studied many idols.

At first, there were idols who shined brighter than anyone else and were loved by people… .

I’ve seen cases where things quickly fall apart and people forget about them because of minor issues.

This industry is so unstable and the lifespan of idols is very short.

Of course, our Rookies are a group whose lifespan was already determined a long time ago… .

I wanted to shine more than any other group and be loved by people, at least for the moment when Rookies were active.

‘Through this stage and this activity, we’re going to clear up all the noise about Yoojung and Rookies.’

So, I approached this showcase stage with the intention of mobilizing everything I had.

♪♬♬-!

[Cast the 1st skill of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Heavenly Demon Illusion!]

As soon as the intro started playing, I immediately cast the Heavenly Demon Illusion.

Now that I’ve used the Heavenly Demon Illusion a lot, I’ve gotten a feel for how effective it can be just by feeling it.

I started the stage after confirming that the Heavenly Demon’s Illusion had worked properly through the overall atmosphere.

The introduction was my part.

-I’m not as stupid as you think.

The lyrics of our rookies’ new song contain rebellion and deviation.

Plus fast trap beats and unique electric bass sounds.

And intense dancing.

Despite the high level of difficulty of the stage with fast beats and intense dancing, there were no problems.

Because we have already completed sufficient practice during this preparatory period.

Above all, for me, the main focus of this song… .

Because I have the skills.

-BB-Breaking bad!

-Stop pretending to be nice.

As soon as Yoo Seol’s part ended, my solo dance break started.

[Cast the 2nd skill of the Heavenly Demon God’s Work, Heavenly Demon Moonlight Step!]

I immediately used the Heavenly Demon Moon Shadow Step.

Hwaaa-.

It’s been a really long time since I’ve used Cheonma Wol Yeong Bo (天魔月影步).

As soon as I cast it, I feel a warm halo enveloping my body.

As the eyes of the people watching the stage widen, my body becomes more relaxed.

In it, I feel like time is slowing down… I move my body delicately.

Is it because it’s been a long time since I’ve used a secondary skill?

I feel good.

I think I’m going to get addicted.

but….

‘It’s not enough yet.’

I still feel like it’s not enough.

I want to attract more people’s attention.

Jiiing.

To others who will be able to see this stage through video via camera… .

I want to put everything else aside and make only this stage memorable.

Then I need to… .

As the leader of Rookies and the main character of this song, I need to be more active.

‘The Heavenly Demon Moon Shadow Step is not enough.’

Another regressor, Oara, used a skill that seemed to manipulate time.

Of course, the Heavenly Demon Moon Shadow Step is also a fraudulent skill… .

Something more intense than this was needed.

That was when I was feeling impatient.

[Locked traits are temporarily unlocked!]

[You can use the unreleased skills of the Heavenly Demonic Power!]

Could it be because my earnest heart has been touched?

The extreme demon trait that previously punished parents, PD Shin, and CEO Ahn is lifted… .

[Cast the unreleased skill of the Heavenly Demon God’s Work, Heavenly Demon Lord’s Step!]

“… … !!”

I got a new skill cast automatically.

Woof.

What is this?

As soon as a new skill is cast, an exhilarating feeling of being able to do anything rises… .

Srrrr-.

I felt like something was flowing into me from the audience watching the stage as if they were possessed.

at the same time….

‘iced coffee….’

An ecstatic pleasure I had never felt before enveloped my body.

Shh.

A smile appeared on his face.

-BB-Breaking bad!

-Think about it yourselves.

-I don’t care what you say.

As the last part of the stage continued, the joy grew even greater.

‘More…! More…!’

So it was as if I had received a message… .

I finished the stage feeling like the viewers were being captivated by me, as if I was a succubus courting them, going beyond the realm of human categories.

“… … .”

When the stage ended, there was silence at first.

And then… .

“Waaa …

“Gyaaa-!!!”

Everyone who watched the stage, whether they were fans or reporters, cheered.

“Waaa-!”

“Rookies-!!”

“Ha Ye-rin-!!!!!”

“Haa… , haa… .”

Watching the people cheering us on…, I let out a sigh more helpless than ever.

As this was my first stage amidst controversy and noise… I wanted to show the best stage possible.

And… , a satisfied smile appeared on my face as I felt that I had somewhat satisfied this.

But then it happened.

chin.

“… … ?”

I turned my head as a hand suddenly grabbed my shoulder… .

“Yerin-ah.”

“… Sister.”

Yoo Seol was looking at me with a cold expression.

Since Naa-ah ended, Yoo-seol has always treated me warmly and given me a kind smile.

As a practical leader, he was strict at times, but he always seemed weak to me, but now… .

It was as if he had a slightly harsh and cold gaze, just like in the early days of Naa.

I swallowed dryly at her look that seemed to want to scold me.

But Yoo Seol… .

“… No, thank you for your hard work. Let’s talk later after the showcase. ”

He turned around with his expression still hardened, perhaps considering that the showcase wasn’t over yet.

‘… What? Did I do something wrong?’

Let’s talk about it now.

I couldn’t help but tremble even more at the thought of Yoo Seol scolding me even more later.
