Chapter 23: Another Problem

The last team to perform was Vivian's dance team. The news circulating from the trainees of this team is the Avenger team. Everyone in this group is very good at dancing and they are expected to win. But the hard part is they're all good at dancing so it should be hard for them to discuss choreography.

Ava watched in the waiting room, their dancing was very strong and made the stage even hotter because of it. All the members are very compact and they put on a very good show. But even so their dance is more less than the other dance teams.

“I feel their dance is very cool, but why does it feel better the previous two teams ?” hailey asked while whispering to Ava.

“What do you think Ava ?” ask Nancy to Ava's left.

“Indeed good, but compared to before it was better than before.” replied Ava.

“Their team contains many great dancers, but why is it even normal ?” nancy was confused.

“It's usually because too many people are involved making the choreography will fall apart.” Hailey said. “Ava Really ?”

Ava nodded slowly. Basically when creating choreography there must be a special agreement if making it together. Too much looks will destroy the choreography usually, especially when no one wants to budge in making it.

“Finally this will be over soon.” Crystal said with a sigh of relief.

“But after this we face second elimination.” Nancy said sadly. “To be honest I'm getting scared of being eliminated.”

“Calm down, we should be able to get away.” said Hailey trying to calm the nervous Nancy.

“If you are afraid of elimination, it should be me who is getting scared.” Crystal said. “I was in the last position in the previous elimination.”

“Gosh! I shouldn't have said that.” Nancy said to be unwell.

“No-no it is a reality. We all fear being eliminated. But even if I have to be eliminated I won't regret it. The experience with you guys is invaluable.” Crystal said positively.

“Perhaps if I have to be eliminated, I will quit the company and try to find another job or continue my studies.” Hailey said. He was now in a dangerous rank, so if he was to be unable to ascend he might be eliminated.

Ava glanced at her friends and sighed in silence. They were young, even when they had to be eliminated here, they should have been able to find another place to develop.

The last team finally finished displaying their performances. Ava was finally able to sigh in relief after this event was finally over. He wanted to rest and not be burdened by mission matters again for a while.

They were given an hour's rest before going back together again. The trainees came out of the dressing room to take a breath first.

Sophie and her group came to Ava's group locker room in a happy mood. They came and greeted their group.

“Finally done too.” Sydney said with relief and sat down next to Ava. “By the way you looked earlier was astounding.”

“True, many other trainees are very surprised to see you rap like earlier.” Sophie said also with a mysterious look.

“We were also initially very shocked when Ava raped the first time.” Hailey said. “He was really unexpected.”

Ava did not reply and turned her gaze away because she did not want to get involved in this conversation. “Your appearance is also very good. It's refreshing to hear a song like that.” Ava told Sydney.

“This is also thanks to you.” said Sydney to Ava with narrowed eyes. She had already heard Sophie about this unique Ava. He was quite curious about a friend like Ava who was indeed very attractive to him.

Ava did not continue her words and turned her gaze back. Looking at the glimpse from Sydney's gaze she seemed to feel Sophie's gaze within. He became unwilling to open the conversation because surely they would say another compliment.

Sydney, of course, understood immediately that Ava did not want to talk about anything else. So he talked to the others. The atmosphere of their dressing room became crowded for a moment. Basically only Ava did not talk too much so the atmosphere became very lively.

Ava listens from the side of their conversation and does not participate in complicated life-related talks. Ava began to release her body on the chair and closed her eyes waiting for the next event to begin.

-

The last announcement began an hour later, Ava had a short nap in the dressing room in the middle of exciting conversation her friends. The staff told them to gather under the stage where they had performed before. They lined up according to their group waiting for the results of the announcement.

“Because everything is already here, let's just start the announcement.” said Keegan does not want to mince time to make the trainees more tense . “Before I wanted to congratulate you on doing a very good show. Regardless of who wins and loses you have done your best! Applause for everything.”

All trainees automatically applaud and smile happily because they are appreciated. The trainees could all just smile resignedly not knowing what else they could do other than do their best.

“Well, let's go back to the event.” Keegan said, she suddenly became serious. “Let's start from Rap.” position team

A triangle-shaped diagram appeared on his back screen and many boxes containing the trainee's name began to appear and left the last four boxes at the very top.

“Hailey should be one of them right?” nancy asked, whispering from behind Ava.

“But I heard Melisa Robert is also the first champion in the other rap teams.” Crystal said from the very back.

Ava did not care who would become the champion, she just waited patiently even though this process was a bit long. Keegan announces two participants first, neither Hailey nor Melisa, as Nancy and Crystal say.

The announcement of first and second place was very stressful, Ava had some kind of belief that it looked like Hailey would win. Judging from the appearance earlier, Hailey was clearly superior.

The result did not disappoint, Hailey ranked first in the first position of the Rap group. Nancy and Crystal both cheered and came forward hugging Hailey who was similarly shocked to see the results of the announcement.

“Happy Hailey!” nancy said as she hugged the teary Hailey.

“Congratulations ! You are so great!” said Crystal who hugged Hailey from behind.

Ava did not embrace him and became the one standing with a smile behind the line. He was happy Hailey could get a good result. It should be with this that he could survive elimination.

The vocal team is much hotter than the competition on the rap team. Because Sydney is the vocalist who managed to get first place in the song Sophie team also has a lot of fans. But the other opponents are also very strong, they sing in a distinctive and very good voice. So this time the determination is very difficult to guess.

Ava could not guess the taste of the fans so she could not know who would be the champion in the vocal position. If Sydney had been first, he would have been harder to beat.

Almost all trainees are like-minded, they are equally afraid that if Sydney wins it will likely be difficult to beat.

Luckily everyone's hope was granted, a girl named Samone Raine she became a champion by singing a ballad song that is very touching. Sydney smiled happily and congratulated Samone who is a great singer.

Samone was previously ranked in the top twenty. It should be with this that he could rise to the top ten. Ava feels this is a good thing, because the chances of him going down can also be greater.

Last from the dance team, this one is hotter than ever. Many great dancers do their best on their dance team. Without Ava a Queen Dance they compete more balanced and of course hotter than ever.

“The competition this time will be hotter than the vocal.” team said Nancy.

“It should be that this position falls on Ava, if she gets into the dance team.” said Crystal regretting Ava not being in that position.

“It is precisely because of this competition that I am reluctant to enter the dance team.” Ava said very slowly.

Nancy who was standing in front of Ava of course heard it clearly. He turned around and looked at Ava who had become lazy since in the Rap team. Obviously Ava has a very good chance and ability here. But he chose to avoid this competition and instead got into the Rap team. He should have had a special reason for this. Somehow this reason seems to be a rather unreasonable reason. Looking at Ava's previous movements.

Earlier when discussing about this he did not want to discuss it. So he might be better off not asking Ava this again.

The final announcement of the dance team, finally announced, the winner is the team that comes from a third team that performs. This is very surprising because of course the best team that performed last was the team that was predicted to be the winner.

“Really ?!” ask a trainee in surprise.

“Not from the Avengers team?!”

“What a surprise!”

“Indeed the strength of ability is very different.”

Those who were not from the dance team were very surprised. Because this in itself is also very unexpected. The Avengers dance team is full of talent and indeed stands out especially in their dance and charisma.

But Ava is not surprised at all by this fact, because indeed the Avengers dance team is somewhat less prominent than the other teams. Their individual abilities are indeed high but do not join well when they appear in a group that seems less compact.

Even when watching their previous performance, Ava had guessed from the beginning, there was someone who might very well be a winner this time. He could be a dark horse. Ilona Jehan's. She is a very good dancer, she dances appropriately and looks beautiful when seen. Ava admits her appearance looks very beautiful and looks very neat when moving.

In the end the announcement ended with a sense of surprise in the eyes of the trainees all of them. Some are very happy but some are also sad because maybe their chances of going home are getting bigger after this.

“You will rest for a day, after that, the announcement of the next mission will be made afterwards.” Keegan said making the announcement.

“Then when is the second elimination announcement ?” whispered one of the trainees.

“True shouldn't elimination first just do the mission ?”

Many trainees do not understand how to staff up. So basically they just follow the schedule that is already set for them.

That night, after dinner, they returned to the hostel with ******* tired. Most trainees fall asleep as soon as they touch the mattress because they feel tired. But some others still have more ability and energy to talk to each other.

Ava was one of those who fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. He did not want to have the desire to talk more with his friends. Fortunately, the other friends went to sleep.

The next day was a free day. Some people choose to relax in the room and not go out except for a meal. Some of the others still went to the practice room and started practicing as usual.

Because the cameras that could highlight them were turned off today, many trainees became bolder and became themselves automatically. The hustle in the dormitory automatically started once the trainees woke up.

Ava doesn't want to experience the crowds and chooses to go to an empty practice room with Sophie. The two meet at breakfast and Sophie follows Ava who goes alone.

“In the end we can never escape from the training room.” Sophie said as soon as they turned on the not-so-big exercise room lights.

“I am here to teach you, so I will do my duty now.” said Ava, she sat down holding a paper and a pen.

“But it's a day of rest.” Sophie says.

“You think when else do I have time to teach you ?” ask Ava

“Of course as long as we are still here, we have plenty of time!” sophie said with passion.

“Ava you are the most talented and most beautiful girl I have ever met. Of course you will definitely debut.” said Sophie, she felt Ava always humbled herself. He was more than he had thought so far.

“Then if in the end I choose out myself ?” asked Ava again with a small smile.

Sophie looked at Ava with a stupid look. He never expected Ava would think of going out on her own. “Are you thinking about it ?”

Ava nodded. “Why don't I think about it?”

“You are not afraid of disappointing your fans?” sophie asked with panicked eyes, this is nothing like the plan. He wants to debut with Ava!

“Didn't they still enjoy my work in other ways.” says Ava lightly.

“Ava...” Sophie became limp and sat in front of Ava sadly.

Ava's face turned serious. “You know for yourself why I came here right ? Of course I'll leave once my job is done.”

Sophie was silent to hear it. Indeed he asked Ava to come and ask her to accompany him. Although this was very contrary to what Ava wanted, she still came to accompany him and teach him.

“So let's spend the time there to practice again. Besides, compared to Sydney, your dance is still unstable. So do it again.”

Sophie looked at Ava long ago, she scanned the pretty face of this good friend of hers. A friend who had helped her and defended her when no one was willing to defend her. Of course he as a friend should try to understand what his friend wants. He could not force his will.

Ava spends a lot of time training and accompanying him in the middle of his work density. So he should not waste precious time like this. Sophie finally got up and began to stretch her body she prepared to train her dance that was still lacking according to Ava before.

While Sophie was doing the exercises, Ava herself sat on the floor watching. But every now and then Ava takes notes in her book while taking down inspirational lyrics as soon as she sees Sophie dancing and working hard.

The two people inside the room were busy with different things but were paying attention to each other. Suddenly while the two were still busy, the door of the training room opened.

Hailey peeked out of the door before stepping in after confirming who was inside.

“Here you guys turned out.” Hailey said full of complaints faces. Behind him are Sydney, Crystal, Nancy, and Sophie's two teammates. They all entered the room and looked at Sophie who was sweating profusely in wonder.

“What is this ? You're too diligent.” Hailey said seeing Sophie still training.

“I still have to practice! My dance is lacking. Ava keeps nagging me.” complained Sophie.

“Do you not want ?” ava asked lightly to Sophie.

Sophie could only furrow her face sadly then glanced at her other friends asking for help.

“if you want to practice at least take us!” hailey said she was sad to not be able to train with them.

“You still want to practice ?!” Sophie was surprised.

“Of course! Ava is a great dancer, singer, and rapper. I won't miss this time to train on him.” Hailey said.

“i also agree, training with Ava is just like adding knowledge! Of course we don't want to lose” said Crystal agreeing with Hailey's words. Ever since he trained with Ava, his knowledge has evolved a lot and he has also become more expert than ever.

Ava could only sigh tiredly and close her notebook, she drew too much attention in the program. So in addition to teaching Sophie, she also had to teach the others.

Sydney smiled amusedly seeing Ava dodging them. It seemed like it was obvious Ava felt a bit troublesome teaching them. Besides it is clear that Ava is indeed too humble. Hearing from people close to Ava it was clear that she was a very low-profile but very great figure.

While the others were talking to each other about training methods, Sydney approached Ava who did not come to talk to the others.

“Are we interrupting ?” whispered Sydney while sitting next to Ava.

Ava glanced at little Sydney then let out a long sigh. “Not really.”

“But you obviously look very uncomfortable.” he said

“No, I'm just tired when people continue like that.” Ava said to be uncomfortable.

Sydney laughed a little when she heard Ava complain. “Then what if you finally debut ? It is certain that many fans will do the same with them.”

Ava did not reply and could only remain silent for a while. Of course he knows about this, but for the last few days he has still not found a way to deal with it other than to quit the program before the show ends.

Sydney did not continue the topic after seeing Ava had no intention of answering at all. It seems that Ava is indeed somewhat different from most trainees in this place. It was like he had his own plan.

In the end the two sat quietly together without saying anything else. Hailey and the others seem to start practicing mindless dancing and having an uncharacteristic amount of fun that is always full of pressure to do their best.

The announcement of the next mission was finally announced after trainees watched the second episode airing the next day. They all gathered in the room where they had previously also watched the first episode.

The show this time also includes the process of training and moving their dormitories while doing the theme song. Everyone's response was up and down because there were many funny moments and also sad because of the difficulty of adjusting to the rhythm at the beginning of the program. This reaction is also recorded to be published by the program staff in the future.

After finishing watching the second episode, they finally started the announcement of the second mission. This time it was not Keegan who brought the mission but Paris Gee who came to announce.

The reaction of all the trainees was not inferior to when he saw Keegan, everyone cheered and applauded to see the Paris coach coming

“Halo all! This time for the second mission announcement, I will announce. Your National Producer Keegan is unable to attend because he has to complete his schedule.” said Paris explained Keegan's absence this time. “Then for the topic of Mission this time titled.. Concept Evaluation!”.

Everyone became excited to hear they were going on a mission with a different concept. This is very profitable because indeed some of the trainees sing songs that are sometimes less suitable for themselves.

“Total there will be 5 songs for the mission this time, Each team will be 12 people. But in the end there are only 7 people who will bring each song.”

The sound of exclamations and whispers of worried trainees was immediately heard. This is a very worrying announcement.

“Then for the winning team from the evaluation of this concept will get an additional voting advantage of…. 500,000 votes.”

The trainee who heard it became shocked and amazed to hear the number of votes the winner of the mission got this time. 500,000 is a huge amount for the additional number of votes and will of course add their winnings to the win.

“But this number of votes will not be shared equally among everyone on the team, but there is one trainee who will get 200,000 votes!” Paris informed the next announcement which instantly shocked everyone. “And the rest will get 50,000 votes each person.”

Such advantages always make the trainees become more eager to win because indeed only by winning will survive elimination.

“Then so as not to wait any longer, let's see the 5 songs that you will bring.”

The screen behind the previously defunct Paris is revived and this time it is a picture of a producer creating a song that the attendees will perform.

The first producer was a middle-aged man who was famous as a famous producer and made many famous songs.

“The song that I dedicate to be performed by trainees is a song with the genre Pop R&B, titled Butterflies.” The song plays along with a glimpse of its choreographic imagery. At first glance this Butterflies song is very soft and suitable for those who look very plain, beautiful and pure. Even the vocals for this song are suitable for those with a soft voice.

After finishing with the first song, the second song was introduced to all of them. The creators of the song were two not-so-old men who also created a song that was already famous. When the song played, everyone's reaction instantly surged. Because this song is very good, with the genre Hip Hop Trap with the title Wild. Different from the first song, this song is suitable for those who are charismatic and sexy. Because from the choreography alone there have been many movements of swerving and seductive expressions.

The third song is arranged by a group of people who are also experienced in the field of music. This time the song is shown in the genre Electro Dance with the title Perfectly. The song has more charisma than the second song and is suitable for those who are very strong in rap because indeed many parts are sung quickly.

The song is called Party Tropical Pop Dance. Arranged by a female composer who specializes in songs for a refreshing summer. So the third song will definitely be suitable for summer and have fun on the beach. The movement is not as difficult as before but it is very interesting and has a sexy side in addition to a fresh side.

The last song that was released surprised everyone. Because a very famous figure appeared on the screen before the choreography was played. He's an acquaintance of Ava's, Mr. Wild, he appeared as a representative of LuckONe to explain a little of the song made this time. Ava made it before going into the program a few months ago. The song has a very rare and very new Classic Pop genre. The title of the song is Fly. The entire song has classic instrumental elements mixed with modern music. Very interesting and very magnificent when the song is played, even the choreography looks more elegant than others because it is made more Ava before.

“All the songmakers are very famous, the songs are also very good!” one of the trainees.

“This program is not kidding at all. Even LuckyONe made a song!”

“This is a rare opportunity! When else can we get and perform a song from a very famous songwriter!”

Paris was also somewhat surprised to see the ranks of the very famous songwriters. This time the level was rather high and it would definitely bring in a lot of spectators at this event.

“You've seen it, right, a lot of songwriters are participating in the mission this time. So don't waste these really good songs. You must train hard! You guys understand ?” paris said as soon as he returned to the stage.

“Understanding!” the trainees shouted with excitement.

“Then let's start the division of the group” Paris holds a lot of envelopes in his hands and starts calling one by one trainees to receive them. This call is random so it cannot be predicted, but it just so happens that Ava was called rather early.

When she received the envelope she was somewhat surprised that there was no song title but only the number of the rehearsal room written inside. He stepped into the training room and found no one in it. So he waited in the room patiently accompanied by many cameras and staff waiting there.

Because Ava didn't talk much, one of the staff asked her. “What song do you expect for this room ?”

Ava blinked hearing it while thinking. One was the song he made, of course he didn't want to bring it. Because surely the expectations will be high and must work hard for the song to be performed well.

“Any song is fine as long as it is not Fly” Ava replied.

“Why not Fly ? Didn't LuckyONe make it ?” the staff asked in surprise.

“Too high and requires a difficult vocal technique to bring it well.” Ava said sadly.

The staff that heard him could only nod in understanding. He does not understand so much but he thinks Fly song does have a lot of high vocals in it. So it's worth Ava being a little intimidated.

Suddenly the door of the room opened and someone appeared from behind the door. The person who entered was very surprised to see Ava inside the room by herself.

“Ava!” sydney shouted happily and immediately flew into Ava's arms.

Ava suddenly got a bad feeling when she saw Sydney enter the room. He glanced at Sydney with a sad but helpless expression.
