Chapter 90 : Audition Mission
Chapter90: Audition Mission
“Those called should come to the stage and introduce themselves! If you don’t have much to say, just name, tier, and main build is fine! First is··· Kim Gangjin?”
“Yes! Hello! I’m Kim Gangjin! My tier is Bronze, and my main build is Radiant Archer─”
And so the self-introduction time that began flowed smoothly without incident.
Since they were those filtered and filtered by Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol even among many applicants, it was thanks to them keeping appropriate lines on their own.
Should I say they showed desire to stamp their presence on Baek Woohyun or viewers, but didn’t overdo it to forcibly draw attention?
The actions participants showed in addition to self-introductions were generally two types.
“If I become a disciple, I’ll definitely have time to review teachings given by Master for five hours? Four hours! ···No, three hours every day!”
-Why is it decreasing lol
-Ah lol thinking about it five hours is hard lol
-Disciple pledge is only review? Bit much
-Disciple pledge lol lol
Speaking determination when becoming disciple─viewers called this ‘disciple pledge.’
“As the reason you must select me as disciple, I prepared voice imitation as special skill!”
“Voice··· imitation?”
“Yes!”
“Uh, mm- Yes. Try it first.”
-Voice lol imi lol ta lol tion lol
-Should go to different alphabet than N;
-Self appeal definitely happened though ㄷㄷ
-Well naturally since only they did voice imitation special skill lololol
Or appealing in various ways they should be selected as disciple.
Since it was just about this level, watching viewers also thought it wasn’t bad. Because it had much more viewing flavor than just bland self-introduction time.
They were also favorable toward the broadcaster who suddenly did voice imitation as reason to select them. Though the broadcaster was tremendously good at voice imitation, anyway.
─”Sh, Shuria! It’s my first audition so I’m very nervous! But I’ll work hard!”
─”Live by the sword, die by the sword… I’m Geomsaeng Geomsa, dedicated entirely to the close-combat path. I truly want to become a disciple!”
─”I’m older sister Yun Areum. You can ignore what he says.” “I’m older brother Yun Daun. Don’t believe what she says.”
“Hmm.”
‘Not bad.’
Since participant number was only twelve, self-introduction time ended quickly.
Among them, the number Baek Woohyun noticed was total four: the Yun Areum · Yun Daun twins, female broadcaster Shuria, and male broadcaster Geomsaeng Geomsa.
Not surprisingly, all of them were those he had paid attention to when Jeong Nayeon showed him as disciple candidates.
Needless to say the Beau-tiful Twins who had most talent, and Shuria with clearly specialized talent or Geomsaeng Geomsa who only used close build.
However, Daewoon Man the Gold tier Gatekeeper he had also noticed together back then, unlike the previous four, had rather left the subject of interest.
Because he felt during the past battle that bad habits that were felt even in video were deeply ingrained.
At that level, not only was it difficult to fix easily, but Baek Woohyun’s prediction was he would show gaps because of it in the audition and fall.
“”······.””
After self-introduction time, it was announced missions would finally proceed, so participants all came up on stage.
They looked at judge seats like baby birds waiting for food, and Cha Seongcheol who was to take charge of overall proceedings cleared his throat and rose from his seat.
He looked around participants and declared the first mission in a low voice.
“The first mission content is, no-correction physical enhancement ability control.”
“···What?”
“No-correction?”
-?
-What
-???
Toward confused participants, Cha Seongcheol continued as if driving a wedge.
Even if reactions were ambiguous, decided content had to be stated as is. Can’t change mission content right after taking it out.
From the beginning, all Superstar N mission content was decided by Baek Woohyun anyway.
“Using the provided build with absolutely no correction, lift the barbell on stage and endure for three minutes, a very simple mission.”
-Sim?ple?
-What’s first mission difficulty ㄷㄷ
-Can Bronze-Silver-Gold-Plat even pass this
-Without correction even ability skills are hard to use but endure 3 minutes is bit;
Of course, being very simple was only Cha Seongcheol’s explanation.
Participants murmured in shock at the words “no correction,” and viewers also erupted, calling the first mission absurdly difficult.
Using abilities without correction was that difficult. All the more if those who had to do it were Bronze-Silver-Gold-Plat tier.
‘Reverse Planet’s’ correction system like a symbol was used by most users, and eight or nine out of ten maintained 80~90 percent correction percentage.
Participants here were the same so must be accustomed to strong correction, yet suddenly being told to use ability build with no-correction, they couldn’t help being flustered.
-If that works, any dog or cow is Hackphysical~
-For real lol
-History’s first all elimination in first mission
-If that happens would be funny though lololol
“Now, now. Calm down and listen.”
Cha Seongcheol who raised his hand calming as if understanding participants and viewers’ confusion calmly laid out explanation.
“Since the mission build is a physical enhancement type, it’s easier to use without correction than ability skills. I even tried it during the advance meeting, and it was much more manageable than I expected.”
“I also tried! Somehow it worked!”
“And this mission’s content isn’t fighting with no-correction ability build, but lifting barbell and enduring. It’s practically closer to concentration battle.”
“Ah···. I see.”
“I’ve never lost a concentration battle.”
-If they directly tried it’s ㅇㅈ
-What if they’re absurd talent monsters??
-Never happening ㅅㄱ
-Watch Cha Seongcheol’s solo rank. Those words will go right in
When participants seemed roughly convinced, Jeong Nayeon stepped forward and sent the ability build.
If Baek Woohyun and Cha Seongcheol took charge of overall judging and proceedings respectively, she decided to take charge of various miscellaneous tasks and proceeding assistance.
Right now even during opening event, didn’t she do everything from drawing circle around Baek Woohyun to cleaning up after everything ended?
“Now have adaptation time each, then challenge anytime when you feel ready! Oh, challenge count and timing are free!”
Cha Seongcheol added that they could challenge freely whenever they wanted, and could repeatedly challenge continuously until passing.
Of course, even though continuous challenges were allowed, no one would really attempt them. It’s not something you can succeed at just by repeatedly bashing your head against it without practice, and your concentration would quickly run out.
That was closer to meaning challenge again immediately when failing by a hair.
“I have a question, Is it okay?”
“Yes. Please speak.”
“Is there a benefit to being fast? Is there a penalty to being slow?”
-Twins even questions are twin
-Positive question and negative question
-Are all twins like that originally??
-Taking turns speaking is somehow fascinating
“Give points in order of passing, decide ranking by those points, and when the second mission ends, bottom four by point ranking are eliminated.”
“Eliminated!?”
“Four people at that···?”
“Since it came to this, should I just tell the overall proceeding method then proceed?”
At Jeong Nayeon who subtly interjected, Cha Seongcheol readily nodded.
He also thought rather than explaining every time questions came, better to just tell the proceeding method all at once.
Of course, content to tell was only future Superstar N proceeding method, and mission content needed to be hidden for spoiler prevention.
“First and second missions are individual record missions. Combine two missions to decide ranking, and four who recorded bottom here are eliminated.”
“Means just doing well alone.”
“Understood!”
“The remaining eight are divided four each to proceed with the third mission team mission. Again, the losing team’s four members are eliminated.”
-Four each cut ㄷㄷ
-What life four-cut lololol
-Ban the above super boring joke??
-Why? lol Life four-cut is funny lol
“Finally, the remaining four divide two each to proceed with the final mission team battle, the losing team will be eliminated and the winning team becomes final passers.”
Incidentally, the reason final passers were two was because the existing strong disciple candidate was the Beau-tiful Twins.
They’re still the ones drawing the most attention even now.
“Explanation ends here. Any more questions?”
“No, none!”
“Enough!”
“Good. Then now we’ll proceed with the first mission. The first mission time limit is 30 minutes.”
At news of only 30 minutes given time, participants quickly entered ability build practice.
Actually even if no time limit existed, they had no choice but to hurry. Because said earlier passers receive higher points.
No one would want to participate in Superstar N breaking through extreme odds only to fall immediately in the first mission and return.

[So who seems likely to pass first?]
“I think the Beau-tiful Twins.”
“I vote with Woohyun’s opinion too!”
“Isn’t it Geomsaeng Geomsa?”
-This is definitely twins
-Don’t ignore Geomsaeng Geomsa, if he didn’t just hold sword wouldn’t be Silver
-For real even Silver-level isn’t same Silver-level;;
-Definitely twins ㅅㄱ
When asked who would pass first, Baek Woohyun, Jeong Nayeon, and Cha Seongcheol gave different answers.
However, though those chosen differed, the fact that fast passers they selected were all close build, differently physical enhancement ability build users was the same.
Probably because they judged the fact of being accustomed by continuously using helps greatly when no correction is needed.

[Thinking about it, it’s weird. Why favor only close and despise ranged abilities?]
“No! We didn’t despise!”
-For real lol
-Is there close build friendship association
-Hackphysical would be chairman then
-Wasn’t it only taking close build users as disciples??
“It’s not only taking close build users as disciples either! Please listen!”
Jeong Nayeon with aggrieved expression hurriedly waved hands denying.
Not wanting to trigger a fight between close build vs ranged build for nothing, her explanation continued very quickly.
If chaos broke out here, not just her broadcast but Superstar N itself would be ruined, so understandable.
“Second mission is ranged ability related mission! First dropouts don’t come out for nothing after first and second missions end.”
-Ah so that’s why
-Close once, ranged once
-There’s chance even if crushed first
-Jeong Nayeon desperate is funny lololol
While cleanly organizing conditions that could turn into close build vs ranged build fight, three participants came up on stage.
They were the Beau-tiful Twins and Geomsaeng Geomsa that Baek Woohyun, Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol at judge seats picked as passing fastest.
As expected, being accustomed to physical enhancement ability build seemed to help considerably.
“…Challenging immediately?”
“Yes, I’ll take the challenge.”
“I’m on it!”
“Challenging!”
