CHAPTER 81: RANKING ANNOUNCEMENT

After the first performance aired, the popularity reached an unprecedented high, even surpassing the peak of talent shows.

Part of the reason was Jensen Sterling and Nolan Sinclair, and part was the trainees’ own efforts.

Jensen Sterling and Nolan Sinclair only brought the hype, but maintaining it depended on the show’s quality.

This time the voting results were in, and the number of votes hit a new high.

The four instructors stood in front, with Chris Gordon being the most senior, so he spoke first: "The first round of voting results are out, and some of our trainees will have to stop here. But I hope whether you stay or leave, you’ll maintain a positive and optimistic mindset and keep working hard."

Then came a series of platitudes, and the audience grew a bit restless. They wanted to hear the results—the results!

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the instructors to start announcing the rankings.

The first performance would eliminate thirty-three people, meaning a third of them would leave.

The elimination was quite significant.

The announcement started from the back, starting from the sixty-sixth position, moving forward one by one.

Especially those ranked around sixty or seventy were so nervous they could hardly breathe.

When it was announced up to the top fifty, Vivian Summers in the group slightly lowered her head, her vision blurred, biting her lip to stop herself from making a sound.

Her initial ranking was very low, around seventy-something.

Hearing it had reached the forties, a feeling of helplessness enveloped her.

Was it really useless? She had worked hard, and Mia Sutton had taught her so diligently, was all that in vain?!

All the sounds around her seemed to be muted, and she was lost in her own world, constantly comforting herself, telling herself it was okay, she could just find another job, she just couldn’t stand on the stage anymore, no big deal.

She didn’t know how long it had been, maybe just a few seconds, but it felt like a long time before the person next to her shook Vivian Summers, saying: "They called your name, why are you dazed? Go over quickly."

Vivian Summers lifted her head in a daze, her eyes slightly red, unable to react for a moment: "..."

What...?!

Summer Lancaster saw her expression and smiled, saying: "What, are you so happy you’re stunned? Go to your spot."

Vivian Summers looked at her, then glanced at the vacant number thirty-two spot opposite her.

It took a few seconds before she walked over, her steps light, as if dreaming.

Thirty-two, a progress of over forty ranks!

She was the trainee with the most significant progress called so far.

Vivian Summers stood in that spot for a long while, and the surreal feeling lingered. She looked across at someone and met Mia Sutton’s eyes.

The girl’s eyes curved slightly, her lips moved, and she made a gesture towards her.

Vivian Summers felt her anxiety settle instantly, looking at Mia Sutton, her eyes sparkling as if stars had fallen into them.

Her heart felt like it was on fire, unable to calm down for a long time, and a thought in her mind became increasingly clear.

That is, this honor was given to her by Mia Sutton, the opportunity was provided by her, the stage was bestowed by her!

She was determined to hold on... no, to achieve an even better ranking, proving Mia Sutton’s judgment was right!

The rankings continued to be announced until the final top ten!
