Chapter 189 - 184: The Rankings Announced
The lights were bright, the atmosphere solemn.
The majestic and imposing stage from the initial performance had been completely transformed.
Only 55 seats remained on the pyramid, and the girls were gradually arriving, sitting down in the undecided seating area below the pyramid.
The chairs in the undecided area were all transparent and without nameplates, while the seats on the pyramid were marked with numbers from 1 to 55.
"The stage... it’s been a while." Wu Zixuan couldn’t help but smile wistfully as she walked in.
"Only 55 people left? Half of us are going home." Guo Xia murmured anxiously as she sat down.
"We’re eliminating half this time..." Jiang Mengqi’s face turned grim, filled with uncertainty.
"I’m so nervous, so nervous," Zhang Zijing blurted out, experiencing such a scene for the first time.
"This kind of feels like waiting for exam results," Fan Lei muttered, her mind still somewhat detached from the harshness of reality.
All the girls were weighed down by their own thoughts. They had already learned their previous rankings and popularity from various sources, but this elimination round would be based on rankings determined after yesterday’s first public performance.
That ranking was finalized this morning, but Penguin hadn’t released it online, leaving the girls in the dark about the results.
Still, they could roughly estimate based on the second episode; trainees with high popularity worried about their rank positions, while the rest faced a more immediate concern—whether or not they would stay.
