“What the hell? What crowning? What unveiled destiny? Little Witch, did you figure it out yet? ...”
Early the next morning, Wu Jin and Caesar walked out of the twin towers, hurried to the canteen to pick up breakfast, and then rushed into the classroom just as the bell rang.
Caesar was holding a bag full of chopped pork buns when he came through the door. The aroma spread in all directions, attracting the gaze of many trainees.
Zoe and Wen Lin had already reserved seats for both of them in the front row––
After two elimination matches, only 300 of the original 500 trainees were left. The classroom that had previously been crowded was finally spacious enough for people to stretch out their shoulders and move their arms.
The trainees’ eyes all followed the aroma of meat and soon locked on Wu Jin.
The bright-colored badge that represented their grade was stuck to the waist of his training jacket, the gilded ‘A’ shining brightly.
The champion of the second elimination match, and the c-position for the Crosson Show theme song performance. Nobody had expected that the trainee who had been admitted into the program group due to his looks would gain such great popularity over the past two months and even threaten Wei Yan’s position in the rankings.
“... from White Moonlight Entertainment, he’s good at reasoning... but his dynamic shooting is only at seven rings...”
“... He can advance to S level if he wins the championship again, but R-Code Entertainment...”
The whispers of discussion came from the back of the room, but the low sounds of conversation dissipated in the air with the smell of the chopped pork buns.
Wu Jin didn’t listen carefully. His gaze swept across the classroom, pausing slightly when it arrived at several A-level trainees.
At this time, the 300 remaining contestants had been ranked again according to the results of the round. Wei Yan was still the only one in the S-level, with 22 people in the A-level. Amongst them, the top 10 contestants were considered to have one foot in the door to their debut position––their letter badges were gilded, distinguishing them from the silver badges of the other trainees.
Amongst the top ten in the refreshed rankings––
R-Code Entertainment had one person, White Moonlight had both Wu Jin and Zoe, Dolma Entertainment had two people, Jingyi Entertainment had two people, Azure People’s Entertainment had two, and there was also a contestant from a small budget company who had originally been ranked D.
Wu Jin made some rough calculations. The spread was much grimmer than he’d originally imagined.
The rules of the cellular automata in the previous round had been complex, and most of the contestants had relied more on luck. Some of the powerful generals who could have stepped on the road to their debut had been excluded from the top ten at this time. This included the two mutually destructive Thin Fire and Caesar, and the poisoned Qin Jinbao.
Silver Thread Roll had been wiped out. Dolma and Jingyi Entertainment were still holding steady, and their numbers remained unchanged. Dolma had lost one Qin Jinbao from the top ten, but the position had been quickly filled by another trainee from the same company.
As for Azure People’s Entertainment––
The name of this investment company was extremely conspicuous and seemed to be more in line with the year 2018 than 3018. Wu Jin clearly remembered that in the previous match, only one trainee from this ‘People’s Entertainment’ group had entered the shortlist, but now the number had increased to two.
