Chapter 120: Second Performance Evaluation (1)
"Welcome back to all contestants, I see that you all changed into athletic clothes, and I’m the only person who didn’t get the memo." MC Ryan Leary pretended to pout as he stared at the contestants dressed in various athletic wear, who were filing into the rows of chairs placed across from the judges.
"We’re still wondering how you got a school uniform in the first place." Larry Jackson spoke into his microphone with a suspicious expression while Ryan Leary whistled while avoiding eye contact.
After a few judges laughed and everybody was seated, Ryan Leary accepted a large cup with paper strips inside from one of the production staff members.
"Due to the previous elimination, one team was eliminated entirely, so there are only 9 teams remaining. Team leaders, please come forward and draw a card that will have your group’s performance order on it.
Leo, Jamie, Benjamin, and the other team leaders walked up to the MC and grabbed a paper strip.
"#2, I rate it." Benjamin waved his paper strip happily around before heading back to his seat.
Jamie was 4th, Rex was 6th, and unfortunately, Leo...Leo drew the first spot.
As Leo walked back with a defeated expression, the MC clapped his hands loudly.
"Okay. Team Leo, consisting of Alfonso, Ari, Caleb (who will not be performing), Gale, Ian, Minho, Minjun, Rei, and, of course, their leader Leo.
"I don’t want to be team Leo," somebody muttered.
"Shut up, Minho."
