[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper Chapter 11: Evaluation

Chapter 11: Evaluation

"Are you a human?"

Everyone seems to stiffened that question, and even Qin An himself wonders what went wrong in his performance that made her say those words. But before he could think anything, Pei Roujin and Lin Yu's virtual body appeared beside her.

Lin Yu has a faint complicated gaze on his eyes but still tries to smile at him. "Qin An, wow, that was an unexpected performance actually. You managed to replicate Bai Yue's infamous Ice Love with every exact movent." He chuckles. "I really thought I faced artificial intelligence as a participant today."

After that, Lin Yu didn't say anything, which made him sowhat confused by that behavior. For the past 43 participants, he will always add motivation to everyone, perfectly exuding his gentlemanly side. So far, even if the participant failed, his words always gave them comfort.

Yet now, he didn't say anything.

What went wrong? Qin An thinks his performance, albeit not perfect, at least was passable. However, Qin An actually didn't want to perform this. Although the movents are easy for him, this was not his style at all. Who would have thought that a rigid and stoic grim reaper would perform like that?

But as Lin Yu said, he perfectly replicated Bai Yue's movents without any failure. For him living for thousands of years, that was only a piece of cake. What's the point of him being a senior grim reaper if he wasn't outstanding in all aspects? Was that enough? Or was it because he didn't sing?

It's not that Qin An doesn't want to, but he was hesitant because never in his life did he sing. Dancing was okay because it feels like moving while fighting. He fought countless tis already so he easily accepted it, but singing? Even if he received idols, actors or professional singers back then, he just stood there and let them sing for whatever they wanted.

Even for so grim reapers who also enjoy trying human life, he didn't bother to participate.

"It seems that you don't even know what your performance was all about." His reverie went halt when Xu Xinyi's voice resounded. Her eyes sharpen. "Qin An, are you satisfied with your performance?"

He didn't answer.

"Heh." Xu Xinyi sneers. "Then you can roll."

"!!!"

Everyone gasps at her disdainful remarks. Roll? This is probably the worst thing that Xu Xinyi gave. Even if she was also harsh to the trainees who perford earlier, it was never this way.

It was not a criticism or even a feedback about his performance, instead Xu Xinyi directly wanted him to get out of here imdiately.

Even if they knew her standards were high, how bad was Qin An's performance for her to say such words in front of everyone?

"Instructor Xu, please calm down." Lin Yu intervenes. "Comrade Qin, aside from the movents of Ice Love, what is the other most important thing while learning it? It is the emotion. Dancing or even singing must have that. For all the things that we must do, we must put emotions into it for everyone to connect with you."

"The reason why Instructor Xu questioned you is about the lack of your performance. Comrade Qin, yes, your performance was a perfect replica, but there's no soul." Lin Yu explains patiently. "Comrade Qin, have you experienced being in love?"

"No." He simply answers.

Lin Yu nods. "Then I can see why you are really struggling especially when it's Ice Love that you pick. Comrade Qin, skills aren't enough nor even talents. No matter how strong your vocal is nor how perfect your movents are, if it doesn't even have an emotion, it will only end in failure."

"You have seen the performances of other contestants here. Even if they couldn't totally grasp the emotions, at least they tried. But what about you?"

"You're perfunctory. Do you take this stage lightly?" Pei Roujin also intervened. "If that's the case, then maybe Instructor Xu is right. You can leave here."

"Don't be arrogant here. You think too highly about yourself." Xu Xinyi added again, making Lin Yu smile helplessly but didn't speak again.

... Because he also agrees.

This participant is really perfunctory and arrogant. From the first ti Lin Yu saw him, he quickly noticed its unusual temperant. He thought that he must be a person with a strong background and ntal strength... but he was not. That is why he was shocked to see his blank information and even the error of its ntal attribute.

So Lin Yu just thought that maybe Qin An was arrogant because he has enough skills to perform?

... unfortunately, not again.

After what happened, he now understands. Qin An was arrogant in his bones. It was as if it's already engraved inside him, being soone who's strong and capable.

But he didn't know in what area he was strong and capable enough.

Or maybe not on the stage?

Then why would he join this competition in the first place if his strength isn't here? For a new environnt and experience?

Maybe. That's why he's perfunctory. He doesn't take everything here seriously.

Lin Yu couldn't help massaging his temples.

He knew Pei Roujin and Xu Xinyi. Qin An performance for them is actually passable, but his attitude is not especially about not taking the stage seriously. They are forr idols and Pei Roujin is an actor who put emotions as a core of everything, and that is the point where Qin An struck them. And they hate teaching these kinds of people, so there's a high possibility of giving the young man a red card.

However... Lin Yu squinted his eyes and stared at the young man. Even with the mocks around him, he was still standing still. Calm and stable enough.

How strong is his psychological cognition? Another thing, he only rembers that he's just 22 years old. He's actually the youngest participant here. A young cub.

Was that why he's arrogant? Does he think he's great because he's young? Lin Yu doesn't think that this young man is a person like that.

What is Qin An's problem, then?

"Everyone can vote for participant number 44 Qin An. Please click the button if you vote for him to pass. You have 1 minute to decide." Lin Yu's reverie was stopped when he heard Jiang Su's voice.

He sighs. Whatever. They don't lack soone like him. Since he's not taking this stage seriously and he's even arrogant, then maybe giving him a direct red card is right.

Lin Yu still gives him 5 points as a comfort for the young man and waits for the results.

And just as he expected... Xu Xinyi gave Qin An the first red card.

Qin An failed the audition.
