Chapter 75:
Each day of being immersed in learning seems slow, but it actually goes by quickly.
Xingdou, who was already prepared, did not expect that day would come so quickly.
As always, on the morning of the weekly test, the first-year idol students have become accustomed to the frequency of one test every other week and one test every other month. The attitude has also changed from the resentment that was quite complaining but did not dare to resist at the beginning, to the dullness that is accustomed to it.
of students to supervise and motivate everyone to make progress.
For young people who have not yet finished their adolescence and still have a passion, this comparative approach is the most likely to stimulate motivation.
This is indeed the case. At first, everyone had a fire in their hearts. .
It's just that the good times don't last long, and the same method will inevitably fail if used for a long time. What's more, there was a competition between classes some time ago. After each class worked together to fight against other classes, they would naturally develop some trust and goodwill towards the companions who participated together. It is not uncommon for people who originally hated each other to become friends. .
Under the influence of this mentality, it is normal for many people to show disdain for the weekly test that just shows the current level. Some people even thought that they could see the level clearly, and they didn't really want to show their strength in the weekly exam.
After they stepped down, they talked to their companions like no one else.
"Alas, the audition for the movie I was going to participate in suddenly didn't recruit anyone. It's a pity, I thought I could get a small role."
"Audition for a movie? Oh, the debut of a novice director you mentioned last time, it may not be famous anyway, even if you go, it may be useless."
"That's right. By the way, whose autograph did you say last time? What is the name of the famous idol recently?"…
After Xing Dou came on stage to perform, the corner where he stood just happened to be not far from them. He closed his eyes and rested while listening to these people talking. After a while, he glanced at them.
"Xingdou, you seem to have improved again!"
Yi Xin, who was recording performance and data as usual, said excitedly, but the person involved didn’t seem to have any feelings. He just said “um” without any response, and he clicked on the virtual screen and studied Start a song and dance.
Affected by his attitude, the manager sighed that she was not stable enough, quickly regained her composure, and continued to work.
time to fight.
These two types of people may perceive the difference, maybe not, they are clearly in the same place and don't bother.
The accident happened at the assessment site that seemed to divide the two sides.
"What, it turns out that this year's first grade is nothing but a waste."
A voice full of disdain and provocation came out of nowhere, causing others to subconsciously follow the voice and glared at the door, and someone immediately wanted to refute.
"You...!"
The words came to an abrupt end.
Other people with opinions also suddenly shut up, and for a while, there was silence.
The man looked about the same age as them, with short brown hair and blue eyes, handsome in appearance, and glanced at them with a contemptuous expression, as if he did not pay attention to them at all.
But that's not a reason for everyone to be silent.
Of course, it's not the people behind this person that are scary, the real reason is - these people blocking the door have a seemingly inconspicuous little badge.
The badge is centered on a golden musical symbol, and below it is a black and white stage, accompanied by a fragmented silver mask, which looks very delicate.
This ingenious badge represents the second grade of the idol department that was born.
A badge that represents identity and strength can only be obtained by idol students who can survive a year of hardships.
This was told by the class instructor as early as the start of school. The first grade of the Occasional Children can have a uniform school uniform, which only means that they have come to this school, the second grade of the idol subject can get a badge with a specific meaning, and the third grade is a reputation that no longer needs to be reflected by external objects. For the third graders who have gradually started their activities, the meaning of such badges or clothes is not as easy to use as their own face, and they themselves represent strength.
But not for others.
Gong Guangxi once mentioned that this badge is not only symbolic, if you transfer it to any performing arts school, it will be recognized for its ability, and no one will deny the student's admission, or even will be given preferential treatment. This is the influence that Ouyu has in the industry, and this influence also proves the strength of students.
Ouyu speaks in terms of strength. The seniors are not much older than them in age. What makes people fear is the strength at an absolute high level.
Everyone here obviously understands this. Although they were surprised and angry at the provocation of the seniors, they still suppressed their anger, controlled their faces, and did not show it directly.
But second-year seniors don't need to worry about this.
The leader who took the lead casually glanced around, saw the faces of the students clearly, and raised his eyebrows: "There are so many people in Class A this year? Tsk, it seems that the school is still light, and a lot of fish are mixed in."
"I'm Xia Yuan from Class A." At this time, more and more people came out, and they didn't lower their posture, but spoke in a calm tone without showing any emotion, "I don't know the senior. Are we here for something, if it's not a particularly important thing, can we talk about it later? We are now taking a crucial exam."
He emphasized the words "deliberately," "important," and "critical."
When others saw this, they remembered that the academy had never allowed students to be disturbed in their courses, their spirits were lifted, and they no longer had the look of shrinking and forbearance, and they all agreed: "Yes, seniors, if If you have something to do, at least wait for us to finish the exam, otherwise it is not easy to explain to the teacher."
"It's rare for the seniors to come, but unfortunately we have more important things to accomplish now, and we can't get close to the seniors..."
"We still need a lot of time for the exam? How can we waste the time of the seniors, of course we can't let the seniors wait, or let the seniors go back..."
Xing Dou watched other people speak, stood in a corner that was not easy to see and said nothing, and held Yi Xin, who wanted to say something, and shook her head slightly at her puzzled expression: " hold on."
The situation is not quite right, just in the current scene, Xingdou has a lot of doubts in his mind, such as...why does this group of seniors seem to come prepared?
The manager was stopped, she shut up in wonder, and continued to watch the fun according to her temperament.
Faced with the explicit and secret expulsion from the first graders' words, the leader didn't care, hooked his mouth, and showed a rather disdainful smile: "With your strength, even if you take an exam, Just a waste of time and space. Why not be more self-aware and leave school now?"
The others behind him were also mocking, with a look of approval.
Now no one can ignore the frank malice and humiliation of this group of people since the meeting.
Many young and vigorous boys took a few steps towards the door with gloomy expressions. A few temperamental ones immediately rolled up their sleeves, not caring about their senior or junior status or the teacher's teaching, and glared at them with a grin: "Is it right? This civilized society can't cure you, I'll help you cure it. !"
"The teacher is here today, and I will teach you a lesson too, teach you how to be a human being!"
"Hey." As if an elephant faced the provocation of an ant, those people didn't even look at them, and only spoke mockingly to their companions.
"Have you heard, ha, they still want to beat people. It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and is not small."
"Don't say that, isn't this called courage? If you have this kind of reckless courage, maybe you can really play as a trick."
"Ha, what are you talking about? It's not something that a fool can do. It has brains, but this group of people is not necessarily."…
Several people sang and talked, and the people in Class A who were closer were red-faced and angry, seeing that they were about to come to fight, or the leader indifferently persuaded:
"Before you start, think about it, this is a public fight in the academy, whether it's a private fight or a military fight, the responsible party will be immediately expelled. Plus we are your seniors, So there is another sin. You really call, it is not as simple as simply dropping out of school."
"Bastard! I won't teach you a lesson today and write my name upside down!" Someone got angry, roared, rushed in a few steps, and threw a punch.
"Who...!" The man who was holding his arm was about to get angry when he saw the man, and immediately died, his voice trembled, "Mr. Gong, Gong."
Gong Guangxi smiled and said: "Oh, what, the momentum of the last second? Aren't you going to do something strictly forbidden to open everyone's eyes?"
Looking at this smiling face, the man lost all thoughts and shook his head quickly: "No, I, I'm just... just playing a rogue character, I want to show it to the seniors, because it is Surprise, so suddenly, no malice, really."
In a hurry, he finally made up a paragraph, and he smiled at Gong Guangxi flatteringly.
"Really? Then you have to be more careful in the future, and don't get too involved in the play." Gong Guangxi seemed to agree with this statement, patted the student on the shoulder, and exhorted meaningfully One sentence, "Otherwise, it would be bad if you can't play."
The man nodded again and again, did not dare to refute, and quietly backed away.
Even Xia Yuan, who had dared to stand up and dared to slander others, was tight in his heart. With some guesses, he pursed his lips and said no more.
Gong Guangxi took everyone's expressions into his eyes, raised the corner of his lips, and still had that gentle and amiable look: "It happens that everyone is here, let me introduce you to the senior."
Under the eyes of their subtle resistance, those people walked into the classroom casually, and under Gong Guangxi's gesture, they said their names one by one, but did not continue to say some ugly words.
I'm not in school for various activities, I just came back yesterday, and I'm here to see you today."
"Teacher Gong is very polite." Bu Yinian, the former leading senior, had a docile attitude towards the teacher, but his words were still arrogant, "But we are not necessarily theirs Straight line seniors, it’s not certain how successful the people here will be able to spend a year.”
Many people began to grind their teeth secretly after hearing this, and their fists itch.
Some people noticed another thing - Gong Guangxi's expression did not change, and he did not refute this, it seemed to acquiesce.
It looks like a bad visitor.
As expected, Bu Yinian and Gong Guangxi exchanged a few words and quickly entered the topic of their trip.
"Teacher Gong, although I heard that there are a lot of first-year students this year, the number is too much." Bu Yinian sighed, as if saying that there were too many cabbage plants. , talking about this topic casually, "And the level is too low, pulling down our level."
"Oh?" Gong Guangxi listened to the words that belittled his students, and his face did not change, "Then do you have any ideas?"
"No idea, but it's easy to do me a favor."
Bu Yinian laughed, glanced at the tense students, and said lightly: "As a qualified senior, of course, you must select the unqualified defective products and share the worries for the teachers. No Qualified people should stay in the right corner, right?"
"What do you mean!" Still someone couldn't help but snarled angrily. The expressions of the others were not good either, and they had no sympathy for this senior who was judging others at will.
Hearing this, the corners of Bu Yinian's mouth widened, facing them, despising and proudly announcing: "Our second-year class A, and your first-year class A, are here to launch a personal elimination battle. !"
The scene was suffocated for a moment, and then the noise suddenly rose.
Except for the second-year senior and Gong Guangxi, everyone was surprised.
Individual Elimination Battle, as the name suggests, is a challenge system in the name of an individual. The party initiating the challenge decides the penalty for failure, and the party accepting the challenge can decide most of the content of the challenge. Within the Idol Division, this challenge can only be based on what the Idol Division needs to learn. The punishment has no specific constraints except that it does not violate the laws and ethics and the rules and regulations of the college.
When Xingdou contacted Xiangming for the first time, he launched a similar challenge to him, but when the two agreed, Xiangming relied on his strength and took the initiative to hand over the content to Xingdou to arrange . Generally speaking, the challenged can choose to refuse this kind of challenge.
There is only one exception—the upper grades are in front of the teacher and challenge the lower grades collectively.
Just like this.
"What are these seniors going to do? Did we provoke them?" Yi Xin frowned, subconsciously dividing herself into the scope of being challenged, and was a little angry, "It's just so boring. Are you unhappy, apprentice?"
"Perhaps not so." Xing Dou retracted his gaze towards Gong Guangxi and whispered, "If this is not permitted by the academy, Teacher Gong will not stop it." More unspoken rules, not everyone can meet the requirements and complete the declaration of war.
"Ah, so to speak, is it a test for you by the academy?" Yi Xin understood.
But Xing Dou didn't answer, just shook her head, signaling her to be careful.
Miss agent immediately swept around and closed her mouth.
Bu Yinian, who was in front, didn't want to wait for this group of juniors to fully accept the news, and impatiently suppressed the noise: "I have something to say until we finish. So this year is really Any crooked melons and cracked dates have come to recharge, trouble."
"Listen, the personal elimination match will start at 7:30 tomorrow in the third training room. The punishment we ask for is - leave the idol department!"
At this moment, some people were shocked, and the two were fighting. In fact, no one in Class A of the first year looked good.
This is a challenge that can't be refused on the condition of leaving the idol department.
Even Xing Dou felt that it was like walking a string in the sky, and it was by no means an easy victory. Besides, this time was different from the last time. There was no mutual support from other people, and there was no group that could hide individual flaws. It was a one-on-one individual match.
If you lose, you will be expelled from the idol division, and all your previous efforts will be in vain.
His tone was still relaxed, as if he was not worried about the students at all: "I see, it is indeed a very good solution. But I will trouble you, I remember that there are not enough people in Class A of the second year. Bando, there are nine people in total, will it be too heavy?"
"It's fine, it's fine for each of us to come twice, or three or four times." Three or four challenges.
But they have this strength, and it seems like a matter of course to say this. It is easy to add another mountain to the hearts of the students who are already under pressure.
In the uneasy silence, a voice sounded: "Mr. Gong, I don't know much about this competition system. I have a question to ask you."
"What?" Gong Guangxi looked kindly.
The tall boy with white hair and black skin had sharp eyes, and the teacher who asked clearly was looking in the direction of the senior: "This punishment is for both parties, right? If only one side loses, it must quit. Idol Section?" His eyes seemed to ignite a golden flame.
Gong Guang hoped that this group of seedlings who had not experienced any wind and rain could not help laughing and said lightly: "Of course. As long as you can win."
…
Just like when they came, these second-year seniors did not stop after declaring the war, leaving their contact numbers and leaving in a mighty manner, as if they were not happy with the students who were about to lose to them Interested, and I don't think they can find any flowers.
As the class guide, Gong Guangxi, as if nothing had happened, gave them lessons as usual, commented on everyone's performance during this period, and told the direction that they needed to work hard, until someone couldn't hold back, Towards the end of class, I asked myself what I thought.
"Mr. Gong, why did you allow the seniors to do this? It's not fair at all! They already learned a year more than us, and we only came here for a few months!" That person Righteous indignation.
The blond class director stopped his original words, his genial expression slowly subsided, and asked: "Really? Then according to your meaning, if you want to play a game with you, you must learn from you. Only those who have spent the same time will do? In the future, if you are going to run for a role with others, the people who participate must also be people who have studied at the same time and have similar experience as you?”
"No, that's not what I meant, teacher." The man noticed something was wrong and panicked, "I just feel, feel..."
"You just feel that you don't get enough study time, you can't win, do you?" Gong Guangxi took the words lightly, her green eyes showing a cold light, "You really understand that you want to enter What industry is it?"
"A guy without talent will not be able to move forward even if he is given more time. A guy who doesn't work hard will not be able to seize the opportunity even if he gets an opportunity. Where you are, there is no waiting for you at all. A place to grow slowly. If you can't catch up, if you can't catch up, then you want to complain if you are left behind, at least try your best to talk about it. Have you done it? Classmate Wang, who is in Zhou's test C, etc.?"
The face of the person who was directly told the results of the weekly test just turned blue, and he did not dare to speak.
This statement is very obvious, the college has given them enough time for them to study, then they must make a grade. This year's first-year class A is indeed larger than in previous years. The school is probably dissatisfied with the qualifications of some students, and wants to take this opportunity to eliminate unsuitable people. This kind of thing is not surprising, but everyone did not expect that it would come so quickly.
Seeing that some people in the classroom were hesitant to say anything, Miyako Nozomi simply said all: "This is what I should have said when I graduated from the first grade, but it is also appropriate to say it now. What we need is to be able to withstand The idols who are tested are not ordinary idols who can only complete their debut step by step. The characters created by Ouyu have never been such boring characters, but are creating myths. Those who do not have the qualifications to become myths should be mortals."
"In this competition, the academy will only favor the more future side. Other than that, there are no exceptions."
He slowly swept over the heavy or nervous students, and said, "If you understand, don't say anything that is fair or unfair. The fairness here only favors the stronger side. "
So, after this class, no one will talk about age and experience, and no one will dare to ask the class instructor to ask.
Gong Guangxi, who had been admonished a lot, also ended up being clean, and left the classroom slowly, only Feng Xuesong, who had been listening for a while, sighed at him: "You are really evil. Saying this to them is to force They have to do their best."
They see themselves."
In this regard, Feng Xuesong said that students can only ask for their own happiness.
Different from the usual noisy after class, get out of class A fell into a subtle silence at this moment. The things that happened one after another made them all at a loss. They were reprimanded by the class instructor and suppressed their irritability.
"Ah!" A surprised cry broke the silence.
Student Yang Yu, who was instantly caught the attention of many eyes, felt a little shy in hindsight. While touching the back of his head, he changed the subject and directed others' attention to the virtual screen in front of him: "I just It was found that several other classes in the first grade also received the same challenge! They were also given the gauntlet by the direct senior of the second grade, and they also made a request."
"What?" They looked at the page he pointed out in amazement. It was a post where someone was complaining about the seniors for not being human, and suddenly ran out to provoke and issue the gauntlet.
Xingdou, who heard this, seemed to have confirmed something. Instead of looking at the page, he searched for the second grade information and class schedule, then stood up and shouted at Yi Xin, "Go. Bar."
"Huh? Oh good." Yi Xin was confused and didn't understand why he didn't figure things out before leaving, but he didn't refute Xing Dou, so he obediently followed and left.
"Xingdou?" Seeing the black-haired boy leave, Wen Lun, who was somewhat attentive, wanted to follow.
"Where do you want to go? You have an appointment to take an immersive acting class later." His agent saw his thoughts and pulled a hand, "Are you going to give up? "
"..." Wen Lun was silent for a moment, watching Xing Dou go away, not very happy, "No, I want to go to class." For a longer-term goal.
Other people didn't notice this little episode, Yang Yu was crowded by several people on the virtual screen and didn't see it, Anmas was trying to rescue Yang Yu, Xia Yuan was hurt because he sat close, Neither of them paid much attention to anyone leaving. Maybe he won't do anything if he finds out, after all, Xingdou is such a gregarious person.
At the other end, Yi Xin, who followed Xing Dou away, was walking, becoming more and more confused: "Xing Dou, where are you going? This is not the way to the training room."
"Well, I know." The black-haired boy nodded, his steps firm, "Actually the rest is my own choice, no matter what I do, it will not affect you. But I feel You're my collaborator, so I think you need to come with me."
Listening to this sentence, it seems to express a kind of trust, and the manager, who is a little happy, noticed something: "Wait, what are you doing here, Xingdou?"
In front of the classroom, it was written - Second Grade Class A.
Xingdou turned around and smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'm here, of course I'm prepared. By the way, you will support the decisions I make, right?"
"Of course!" Yi Xin answered firmly.
"That's enough."
Breathe out."
The lovely agent lady froze.
The young man in front had a calm expression and said to the enemies: "I am Xingdou from Class A of the first year, seniors, please take me in?"
…Am I dreaming? In a trance, Yi Xin pinched her face.
There is not much time for the first graders to worry. As Yang Yu discovered, not only them, but also other classes in the idol department were challenged by their seniors, and they felt sad about it. Class A is especially anxious.
Because the conditions of the previous class are different from this one. In the last class, they were divided into five classes, ABCDE, according to the strongest to the weakest. Class A was the strongest, and Class E was the weakest.
But this year, they are divided into classes according to their own characteristics. Class A is not a gathering place for the strongest, but a group of weird people with their own problems. Many of them are not that strong, and there is not a small gap between them and the ones who are recognized as the most powerful in the class.
Or for the first-year class E, they are not facing an invincible opponent, but for the A class, in this case, with the previous strongest class, Few can say they will win.
This is not something that can be refused. The initiative is not in the hands of the first grade. The only thing they can control is the content of the competition, choose the right project for them, and try their best to win.
It's been a hard night's sleep for the first graders.
The next day arrived as scheduled, and the first graders who were invited to the battle came to the appointed place with mixed feelings.
The huge classroom is empty, the silent machines are running, the central stage and lights are hidden under the console, waiting to be activated.
Obviously they came early, and none of the second-year seniors showed up. Because of this, the oppression and tension caused by waiting became more and more anxious, and some people started walking back and forth trying to ease their mood.
"Really, there are only five minutes left, why haven't you come yet? Don't you know that being ahead of time is a virtue?" He was very irritable as he tugged at the ornaments on his clothes.
"Huh? Who hasn't come yet." Yang Yu followed and glanced at it, suddenly paused, widening his eyes in surprise, "Huh? Where's Xing Dou?"
In the past, Xingdou had never been late for such a competition or event, and even like them, he would always come ten minutes earlier, just in case, and to be familiar with the venue.
"Is it possible that I got lost?" Yang Yu guessed, and opened the virtual screen to call Xingdou, "I don't know if it's too late, I don't know if I'll be embarrassed by the seniors. I hope come in time."
Just as he was about to send a message, he heard Xia Yuan's voice: "It looks like there is no need."
Looking up, the second-year seniors who I met yesterday pushed open the door and stepped into the classroom. And the person he was about to send a message to was following them and walked in calmly.
"Good thing we caught up."
Yang Yu heaved a sigh of relief, closed the virtual screen, moved his footsteps slightly, wanted to say hello to Xingdou, and called someone over by the way: "Xingdou!"
Hearing the call, the black-haired and green-eyed boy looked back at him, nodded slightly, did not turn to them, but sat next to the second-year senior and them.
"Xing Dou, why don't you come and sit?" Yang Yu felt that something was wrong, especially the senior who seemed to dislike them yesterday did not reject Xing Dou to sit next to them, and the two of them were at peace with each other. This scene. But he couldn't figure out what happened, he just thought it was Xingdou's convention that he didn't want to sit on their side.
But he forgot that even if Xingdou didn't like to get together with them during the class competition, he would sit on their side as usual, how could he be wrong because of his personal feelings at this time place.
"No." Xingdou's tone was flat, "To avoid confusion."
As soon as these words came out, other people also noticed the strangeness and looked over. It's easier to get confused when you sit on the second grade side. How could Xing Dou make a mistake by sitting here?
Yang Yu stared at Xingdou, an incredible guess poured out of his heart, he hesitated and said: "Xingdou, you..."
"It's dawdling, haven't you figured it out yet?" Bu Yinian seemed unable to stand it any longer, interrupted these people aloud, and said the situation carelessly, "He now, It belongs to us, and it is your enemy. Understand?"
"What did you say!" Yang Yu questioned subconsciously, and glanced at the person concerned, wanting to get the answer of denial from Xing Dou.
But he only got the cold and calm gaze of the black-haired boy.
That's the default.
Yang Yu, Wen Lun and others, who already knew a little about Star Dou, instantly understood the meaning.
"Why, why?" Yang Yu still felt inconceivable, how could it have become like this, they were classmates on the same front yesterday, but today they have become enemies.
"Or, do you just want to be a deserter?" Xia Yuan adjusted his glasses and added another fire. If you don't pay attention to the movement of his palms, he seems to be unshakable.
Others are also looking at this side, with different expressions, ranging from anger to confusion and anticipation.
The second year knew that this was not their time to appear, so they did not speak, and waited quietly to see how the guy who suddenly joined them would answer.
Xing Dou was silent for a while, then finally glanced at his classmates and said indifferently: "There is no reason. I just chose the stronger side. No one wants to lose, right?"
