[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 43: Arrogance

Chapter 43: Arrogance

In the end, Shen Lou left with the mentors from the practice room to have a private talk. When they left, the members had anxiety on their faces because of the trouble. At the same time Qin An also saw a faint relief because they finally voiced their worries. freewёbnoνel.com

It seems that those days were a torture to them.

"Brother Ren, what do you think will happen after this?" Guang Yi couldn’t help but ask about their situation. The other members also look at the young man whom they look up to, seeking assurance.

"It’s okay. The mentors will fix this after talking to our captain," Ren Si assured with a smile, making others also breathe a sigh of relief. Ren Si’s words seem like an assurance to them that the mood from the trainees cease.

Yet, only Ren Si himself knows how much anxiety he has inside him. He’s sure that the mentors notice his intention for speaking up earlier. He himself knows that Shen Lou is more capable but upon observing, the latter’s arrogance can completely defeat. This is a competition to form a group. If you want to debut, you have to fit yourself inside. Not unlike Shen Lou’s behavior.

If he could use his ’arrogance’, there’s a chance that the fans will notice that he’s not suitable to debut in a group. Wouldn’t that be a chance for him? Although there are also trainees who are good, Ren Si himself is already in A Class. Just one step away from the position.

Now, what happened is clearly a risk. To whether the mentors will remove Shen Lou as the captain and he’ll take over or not.

To debut, Ren Si is ready to do anything. Even if it means bumping others.

Qin An didn’t join their conversation because something happened earlier. Right now, his face turns solemn and he seems to be thinking deeply.

He doesn’t know if it’s just an illusion but when Shen Lou walked outside the door, he saw a black shadow go out with him. That shadow wasn’t as tall as a human, only it reached Shen Lou’s waist. And due to its fast movement, Qin An thought at first that it was Shen Lou’s shadow.

However, now that he’s thinking about it, he knows that what happened earlier wasn’t as simple as he thought.

What was that thing? He also noticed that it seems like he was the only one who saw it because others don’t have reactions, especially Shen Lou who had that thing beside him.

If it’s visible, I’m sure anyone would have seen it.

Yet, no one did.

Qin An took a deep breath. It’s impossible.

This era doesn’t have metaphysics anymore. All those things were just part of the history today. Science already dominated this interstellar and everyone doesn’t believe any feudal superstition.

Maybe he saw it wrong?

Aside from that, Qin An did not feel the strange energy of this world. It’s not the same as the Earth.

Yes, maybe he was just hallucinating.

Qin An thought he’ll stop thinking about it, but as time passed he felt like standing at the tip of the needles that he couldn’t sit still. Therefore, seeing they’re not practicing, he went out.

Maybe he just needs to breathe.

Qin An walked mindlessly around the building and he also saw other groups practicing together. He didn’t bother looking at them and wanted to go straight towards the balcony.

But just a few meters away, he saw Shen Lou and Pei Roujin standing outside. Qin An subconsciously stops his steps and because they didn’t completely close the glass wall, he can hear their conversation from inside.

"Shen Lou, you have to change your point of view about being a leader." Pei Roujin’s voice sounded first.

"Why?" Shen Lou’s tone has a faint confusion. "I think I’m doing fine. I taught them, I made adjustments to improve our work, I directed them what to do because I know more than them. Wasn’t that enough?"

Pei Roujin sighs with a bit of frustration. "Shen Lou... how do you define a leader? Being a leader is not just about directing or teaching them what to do based on your own perspective. As you knew, they are not as good as you so they had a hard time catching up on you. Just because you are the captain, it doesn’t give you the full right to throw responsibility to them without even guiding them properly. What consideration did you think when you gave them the parts?"

"Through their ranks." Shen Lou’s face was calm as he answered straightforwardly. "Since the lower the number, the greater the work, then I just assigned them based on their ranks because I thought they could do it as they were ranked higher than others." Confusion was painted on his face again. "However, I noticed that they couldn’t do it. Instructor, why do they even rank in that class when they can’t do better than those below them?"

Pei Roujin choked on his blunt words. He looked at the young man with a complicated face. He knew it. They knew things like this would happen when they saw the participants in this year’s competition.

All of them are arrogant.

Their arrogance came from the fact that they lived better than others. They never knew how to let go of their own perspective and just thought that they are better than anyone else. Even if some trainees don’t have an arrogant personality, just by how they look at things lightly and cannot even do hard work, they know they overestimate themselves.

Too arrogant because they lived a peaceful life and never suffered, while others have arrogance because they thought since they experienced some things, they are higher than those who lived better. This is what clearly happened inside their team.

He sighs deeply. But it’s okay. Things weren’t too late and as mentors, they have to make sure to change them. Only those who have the character are worthy to be an idol.

Not just because of their skills but most importantly, he thinks they must have good qualifications.

As for now, they are far from it.

On the other side, Qin An listened to their conversation silently. He stared at the two and he also didn’t see that shadow on Shen Lou. Was that really an illusion?

Qin An frowns.

He rarely doubts himself but seeing nothing, he thought maybe it really is? As what he had thought earlier, this is a new era, the Interstellar. Things like on Earth aren’t the same here.

Besides, he’s already just a normal human being. If there are unusual things around, he wouldn’t see it anymore, right?

He couldn’t help but sigh again and turn his back when his eyes met someone on the other side.

It was Xu Xinyi.
