I don't want to be an elf!

Even if you lose, you can still gain a group of fans, laying the foundation for your future career.

If one is lucky enough to be noticed by the chairman of the board of directors of the Kwai Envy Children's Academy, one may even be able to enroll directly.

For any aspiring idol, the idol audition at Quinvy Girls' Academy is a dream stage.

For viewers who love idol culture, this is also an audition that they can't miss.

Since the contestants are all amateurs who have never debuted, as long as you become their fan now, you can proudly call yourself a long-time fan who has accompanied them all the way to where they are now after they become famous.

For Miku Izayoi, this was an opportunity she absolutely could not miss.

Although she was already a national idol in the original work, in this world, she was just an unknown nobody.

If you can showcase yourself on this stage and build a solid foundation of popularity, the speed at which you complete the main storyline will greatly increase.

"Although the registration period for the idol selection ended long ago, it's not a big deal."

Having manipulated a taxi driver to reach the event venue, Miku Izayoi looked at the bustling stadium before her and a confident smile appeared on her lips.

"Hexagram, are you ready to welcome yet another songstress?"

----------

A floating city, the Six Flower Dome.

This is the stadium where the annual Star Dance Festival is held. It utilizes cutting-edge technology to ensure that every audience member has the best viewing experience.

Even before the Star Dance Festival begins, this place is never idle.

It is sometimes used in speeches by important figures, sometimes in certain sports competitions, and sometimes in concerts.

Now, the vast majority of the Rokkaku Dome, which can hold 100,000 people, is packed with people.

Some were tourists just there for the fun, some were students from the six academies, and some were idol fans who had traveled from all over the world...

They waved colorful glow sticks in their hands, rhythmically swaying to the melody of the girls singing on stage.

Even more extreme, some wore headscarves and support clothing printed with the opposing team's logo, ignoring the stares of those around them, and enthusiastically cheered for the girls sweating on stage.

On the stage, colorful spotlights, combined with the girls' steps, created a series of dreamlike scenes.

Below the stage, in the pitch-black audience seats, tiny fluorescent lights danced, and although they were small, the combination of many fluorescent lights made them as dazzling as starlight.

As the last line of lyrics was sung, their performance came to an end.

As the lights dimmed, the figures of the girls bathing in them gradually blended into the darkness.

Soon, cheers and applause erupted from the audience.

I offer my blessings and expectations to this group of girls who have not yet signed a contract and debuted, but already show signs of idol potential.

"This is amazing! Absolutely amazing!" a handsome boy shouted, sobbing. "Everyone in SummerStar, from today onwards, I'm going to be your sole fan!"

"Haha, Ryunosuke, you don't regret coming here, do you?" the gaunt man next to the boy said smugly. "You used to look down on my hobbies, how do you feel now?"

“I was wrong, Hideo. I never imagined that the power of idols could be so strong.” Ryunosuke wiped away the tears in his eyes. “Watching these girls, who are about the same age as me, showing their hard work on stage with their youthful innocence, I felt a power I had never felt before.”

"That's right, that's what idols are like—bringing love and hope to ordinary people like us, shining brightly on stage!"

Hideo grasped Ryunosuke's hand and asked expectantly, "So, Ryunosuke, would you like to cheer for them with me from now on?"

"Ah, of course, my friend."

Ryunosuke also solemnly grasped Hideo's hand: "Thank you for leading me down this path. I will always remember this kindness."

"This is nothing! I'll take you to see even more amazing sights in the future!" Hideo said with a big laugh. "After we go back to Japan, I'll take you to more idol group concerts, whether they're underground idols, school idols, or variety show idols. These are all sights you can't miss!"

"Ok?"

Faced with Hideo's enthusiasm, Ryunosuke politely declined: "No, I've already decided to focus solely on SummerStar, and I'll pass on the other idol groups."

"Ah, I see, I understand now."

Hideo nodded slightly, not feeling discouraged: "When my senior led me into this field, I had the same feelings as you, wanting to support that one idol group forever and wanting to spread their beauty to others. It's a nostalgic past, and a nostalgic version of myself."

"Hideo, then why did you change?"

"I haven't changed, I've just discovered more idols worth loving."

"This sounds like infidelity, and I will never condone it!"

“Then let’s take it slow, Ryunosuke. I know you’re stubborn, so I won’t force you to change your mind.”

Hideo did not continue to argue.

“Everyone who’s a DD used to be a fan of one person. Let’s see how long it takes you to become like me.”

Chapter Six: The King in the Bronze Game

The VIP room on the top floor of the Six-Flower Giant Dome.

A woman with an elegant and noble demeanor, dressed in a very capable manner and exuding the aura of a powerful career woman, looked down at the SummerStar group who had left the stage, her expression remaining unchanged throughout.

"That will be the final group in today's idol selection, Chairman."

Behind the woman, a young woman dressed in a butler's outfit spoke up: "Among the thirty idol groups performing today, is there one you like?"

"No, that's a real shame."

The chairperson of the board of directors of the Kui Enwei Children's Academy took off her glasses and rubbed her tired eyes: "I heard that there were a few promising players this year, which made me still have expectations for the selection. I didn't expect that their level was just so-so."

Pedrone Chivierefet.

The chairperson of the board of directors of the Queenie Children's Academy, and also one of the decision-makers of Warren & Warren, one of the six major integrated corporate conglomerates.

Faithfully adhering to the educational philosophy of the previous chairman, and with her accurate and sharp vision and swift and decisive methods, she transformed the already popular Quenway Girls' Academy into a world-renowned idol academy.

The number of idols who have stepped onto the world stage because of her is already far more than ten.

Today, just like in previous years, she personally came to the idol selection competition venue to select potential contestants.

"Don't say that, Chairman. These kids have already worked very hard," the secretary said helplessly. "Listen, aren't the audience members very excited? That just proves how excellent these kids are."

"From a worldly perspective, that is indeed the truth."

"It's enough to look at it from a worldly perspective. In the end, what we're gaining is precisely worldly fame."

"I know, I'm just a little disappointed that I didn't meet any truly impressive talents."

"Chairman, not everyone has the talent of Sylvia."

“Well, you’re right,” Pedra sighed. “I’ve been too strict with these kids.”

Sylvia Lunaeheim is currently the student council president of Quinvion Academy, and also a talent personally discovered by Pedra two years ago.

As it turned out, Pedrora's judgment was indeed sharp. In just two years, Sylvia became the most famous member of the Star Pulse generation in the world, and a songstress admired by all.

Her talent was unmatched in the academy. No matter how proud an idol was, as long as her name was mentioned, they would only hang their heads dejectedly and say that they did not have the confidence to compete with Sylvia.

As a result, Pedra's standards for idols have become increasingly demanding.

After all, no one who has experienced the majestic and magnificent scenery of the mountains will be interested in the small mounds outside their door.

“SummerStar can be signed, but let’s give them a Tier 2 contract. We can’t give them too good a treatment right away, or they’ll become arrogant.”

"I understand."

“Those guys from Saga in Group Six, and those three guys from the Japanese Yakuza in Group Twelve, they’re all given Level Three contracts.”

"receive."

"The guitarist in Group 24 is quite good. Although she never raised her head the whole time, she is indeed talented. Let's ask her if she would like to enroll."

"Ah, that one? He's certainly a very talented guitarist."

"That's settled then. Let the host announce the results."

"Yes."

Soon, the secretary relayed the results of Pedra's selection to the host on stage.

The lighting technician also received the order and immediately turned on the lights, shining them on the host's head.

The noise from the audience below the stage immediately subsided.

They all knew what was going to happen next, so they listened intently, hoping that the idol group they were supporting would debut successfully.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure the members of SummerStar have left a deep impression on you, but unfortunately, this is the last group in this year's selection competition."

The energetic host, clearly experienced, quickly revived the slightly subdued atmosphere with his lively movements: "Now, it's time for the results that all the viewers and the thirty idol groups have been waiting for. Which three idol groups will get contracts and debut successfully? And will any lucky ones be able to gain the favor of the chairman and enroll in the Kwai En Vie Girls' Academy?"

The lights flickered, as if to create a tense atmosphere for the host, making the audience's hearts race.

Just as the host was about to announce the final result, she suddenly stopped and pressed down on the earphone in her ear.

As if a performance mishap had occurred, the host's expression turned to one of astonishment upon hearing the words coming through the earpiece.

"Huh? What did you say? There's another performance after this?"

Hearing the instructions coming through her earpiece, she turned off the portable microphone and asked in surprise, "According to the previous rehearsals, wasn't SummerStar supposed to be the last group?"

"No."

Through the earpiece came the flat, emotionless voice of a backstage staff member: "We've added a new idol at the last minute, so please wait until her performance is over before announcing the results."

"Added on short notice? Uh... okay, I'm just a host anyway."

This was the first time the host had encountered such a situation, and he was also unsure how to handle it.

But since the backstage staff said there was another group, she certainly wouldn't choose to go against them.

So she turned the microphone back on and said to the audience, "I apologize to all my dear viewers, we have added a performance at the last minute, so the awards ceremony will be a little later!"

"Added temporarily?"

In the VIP room, Pedra frowned: "Why didn't I know?"

"I'll call and confirm right now."

The secretary looked somewhat displeased, and with a flick of her finger, a virtual image appeared before her.

The administrator's phone will be connected soon.

"What exactly happened? Why did you arrange a performance that wasn't in the plan?" the secretary asked coldly. "Most importantly, why did you make this decision on your own? The chairman has never allowed such a thing to happen!"
