Chapter 524 - Vol 7: Ch 524 – The School Fair – Part 3

Ellyn with Teacher Chen already arrived from backstage to where the Family assigned seats.

All: [Boys] Teacher Chen

Chen: Eh, you are all here? [All of them nodded in sync.] Are you all here to cheer for Ellyn? [They nodded again]. 'Geez these kids, they really act weak but then compare to the weak demeanor of them they have monster genes when they start to strike. Tsk, tsk, you can really judge the book by its cover'.

Rei: Teacher Chen, thank you for escorting Ellyn to us.

Chen: No worries Mrs. Jun and it's my job to protect my students. Ah, by the way, is perhaps Mr. Jun helping Ellyn?

Rei: [Looking to her husband and reply instead of him] yes he did and Ellyn follows the advice from her Uncle.

Chen: I see and your Ellyn did really well.

Rei: Thank you.

Chen: You're welcome Mrs. Jun and I may go now since the students are still there.

Rei: Yes you may Teacher Chen.

Chen: 'As expected, Ellyn got a professional coach and is none other else but Mr. Jun who's the main vocalist of M'dols. Tsk, what a terrifying gene they got? But, wait Ellyn is a Din and so how come she knows how to sings? Stop wondering idiot and it's not your problem instead it's their problem.'

All teachers and proctors of S Elite Academy except for the one who really knows them are not yet aware that Ellyn and Ken are cousins since they only know that Ellyn is a niece of Rei after disclosing their relationship to the public with her maiden name and didn't confirm it yet because they only guess based from Rei appearance in school every on the School Recognition Day. Of course, they only know that Rei is the guardian of Ken without knowing the truth and their relations with each other. It also applied to the students of S Elite Academy because they only guess and assume based on their guardian's appearances without confirming the truth or else they will get fired for trying to know their student's background. As for the Li's, Li Jin is the only one who always appears on the recognition day because of his wife's wide popularity and for him, he is known as Paparazzi Li. Min Yuhan is his Mother with knowing that she's the current CEO of Song Jewelry Corp. and the only heiress, he only has his Mother because he happened to have a bastard ex-father and only Rin Yuki among the group of friends have both his parents representing every recognition day but it doesn't mean that all his friend won't be jealous of him because they know and aware how their parents got busy and that's because it's for their own future. 

"Did I do well?" Everyone thumbs up and then Ellyn looking to Jinyu for seeking his reactions.

"You did well Ellyn"

"Thank you, Yu."

"Ah we've been ignored and these two love birds," all the kids said in sync and teasing the two without knowing that they already a couple since Jinyu want to let Ellyn parents know first and as for his parents they only have an assumption but he didn't conform to his parents yet. As for his Aunt Rei, Uncle Tae, Aunt Mei, and Ken they know because they are his alliance in case of emergency situations also known as being interrogated by the Din's Family Members. 

"Alright enough with your teasing kids and go back your attention to the competition, the competition still going on, remember?"

"Okay"

Then all of them go back their attention to the competition and watch it seriously as if they are also one of the judges while commenting on their performances.

Ken: Whoa, the participant representing the S Gifted International School and Academe is really good and if Ellyn is not the one competing for our school then for sure she will be the one who got the 1st place" Ken commented out loud.

Jinyu: I'm impressed Ken, impress that I heard it from you, Ken.

Ken: He, he, he, I'm a tone-deaf but I can tell who's really good and not, so Bro Jinyu, what's your opinion as a singer huh?

Jinyu: Ellyn did well but because of lack of experience she's still lacking that one but then this participant forgot the theme and go beyond the theme so that she might get deductions from that.

Jinxi: [Eh, what's the theme, Bro Yu?

All: [Jinyu, Ken, Yuki, Yuhan and Ellyn looking at him as if telling him 'common Xi / Jinxi / Bro Jinxi, you don't know the theme?']

Jinxi: Hey, why are you looking at me like that?

All: You really don't know?

Jinxi: [Nodded their heads and ask someone from them] eh, don't tell me that you also know it Yuhan?

Yuhan: Yeah I know.

Jinxi: Eh, how did you know when in fact we become the representative all of sudden after our seniors know that we didn't participate in the Universal Language Fair?

Yuhan: [Didn't reply instead just pointing at the stage background where you can read the themes 'Cheering up your teammates'] 

Jinxi: [Read it loud] Cheering up your teammates, ha, ha, ha, silly of me, and why I didn't notice that one?

All: ......

Ken: You're unbelievable Bro Jinxi but well we also know the theme today since only the participants are allowed to know the themes in advance in order for them to prepare. Ah, right, Uncle Tae what's your professional opinion for this participant then?

Tae: Well if it's really a Singing Contest then for sure she will win with high marks but then this is a School Fair so you really need to follow the themes for you to get the first placer.

All: [All kids ask in sync] so who's the 1st place, Uncle Tae?

Tae: It may be sound biased for me but as a Professional Singer, Ellyn will get first place, the S Ladies Academy will be the 2nd place and the contender 10 will get 3rd place.

All: Eh, how about the S Gifted International School and Academe?

Tae: Mmm... maybe it's around rank 5 or 6 since 10% is based on the theme.

All: Eh, what do you mean Uncle Tae? [Ask since they didn't hear when the MC's announce the criteria because the kids are busy chatting with each other.]

Rei: Kids the criteria are 50% for Vocal Quality, 25% for Dynamics, 15% for Stage Presence, and last 10% for Theme, a total of 100%.

All: I see

Jinyu: So what's her percentage Uncle Tae and also for Ellyn?

Tae: I'm not the judge but in my opinion, she got 88.8% while Ellyn 94.2% because she lacks stage presence since it's her first time performing with different spectators.

All the kids nodded and then they focus back on the competition. Of course, they will ask Tae's opinion every the contender done performing and taking note of it. Meanwhile, the two kids who still going to represent the schools forgot about it since their attention is now fully focused on Tae's opinion after all he is a professional singer.

At exactly 11 am all of the participant's singing performances are now done and the MC is now ready to announce the results.

"All right everyone, I already have the results for the three categories with me and already on my hands [waving the envelopes for them to see it], so before that let me check our spectators. Are you still there?"

"Yes" they are still there but their responses are not so lively.

"Ha, ha, ha, as expected from our spectators since it's almost lunchtime now and for sure you are now all hungry but well don't worry guys because you're lunch for today are all sponsored to our sponsors" everyone laughing at his comments "and for sure it's just a cent from them so they won't go bankrupt, so let's eat to our contents" and they laugh again. "Alright, I will stop my nonsense now, and let's announce the winner. So let's go for the group category.

3rd Place: S Ladies Academy – 95.0%

2nd Place: S Gifted International School and Academe – 95.8%

1st Place: S Elite Academy – 96.0%

Whoa, only .2% and the S Elite Academy will be defeated but well they still defend their crowns very well. May I call now the 3 participants winners group leaders to go up on the stage and claim your prize?"

The 3 participants are now on stage and each group posing for the official photo for doc.u.mentation then receives their prize.

"Congratulations to our winners and now let's proceed to the Category for Duet 

3rd Place: S Gifted International School and Academe – 94.8%

2nd Place: S Ladies Academy – 95.0%

1st Place: S Elite Academy – 98.0%

Whoa, what a high score from our 1st placer" then calls the participants on stage. "As expected of you Ms. Elise but can you show mercy from your fellow contenders, okay?"

"Ha, ha, ha if I will then it's not a competition anymore"

"Right, right, but I heard that you will not be participating in this year since you're going to debut this coming June so what change?"

"Well actually my two juniors are the ones to participate for the Duet Category but then they decline since they are also participating for the other fairs, so left with no choice before debuting I participate along with my partner, the Student Council President"

"Eh, this is your Student Council President?"

"Yes, yes and he is a shy type though we are almost the same age"

"I see and what do you mean by two juniors, you mean you still have two more amazing juniors then?"

"Yes we do have and I'm proud of it ........" got stop because his partner whispering to him.

"Elise you're such a show-off one and don't forget that it's a school fair, not your press conference"

"Ha, ha, ha, sorry everyone but I got scolded just now, so I will cut-off my nonsense, and let's proceed to the next segment, I mean by receiving the prize."
