Again, June was expecting a lot of protests to go around the room. Although there were currently more rappers on the team, some of the trainees would definitely want the Main Vocalist position, too.

June cleared his throat, ready to show them that he was meant for the Main Vocalist part when they all started agreeing with Zeth's suggestion.

"Yeah, I think that'd be good," Lin Zhi said. "I like the Sub Vocal 1's part anyway. And I think June also suits the Main Vocalist part the most."

"That's fine with me," Casper said. "I'll also become the Sub Rapper 1. You guys decide who the Main Rapper will be."

"I'll be the other Sub Vocal 1," Steel said. "I also think June's voice would stand out as the Main Vocalist. He's the most skilled one out of all the trainees."

"Then, is it alright if I become the Main Rapper?" Zeth asked. "These are the parts I really liked."

"No problem for me," Bin said. "I'll take Sub Rapper 2."

"And I'll take the other Sub-Rapper 1 position," Jaxon chimed. "There's a solo dance for it, and I believe I'll pull it off well."

"Then, I'll be Sub Vocal 2," Daeho quickly said. "If that's alright with all of you."

"Fine with me," Xin said, smiling since he didn't have a lot to practice for. The Sub Vocal 3 part was definitely the easiest to execute, and Xin felt like he could relax during this mission and let the others carry the performance.

June watched the scene before him with utter awe. He glanced at the clock and saw that the part distribution only took a few minutes!

How did that make any sense?

"How about you, little bro?" Zeth asked, making him snap out of his thoughts.

"Huh?" June asked, confused since he wasn't paying attention.

They chuckled as they looked at June's confused face.

"About the parts," Zeth said. "Can you be the Main Vocalist?"

"Sure," June quickly said. "I'll be the Main Vocalist."

"Great!" Zeth exclaimed, clapping his hands. "I guess that's settled then. Shall we go ahead and learn the choreography?"

Their other teammates stood up as if this was the norm in every group.

What the hell?

Things are going so smoothly.

Was this what it's supposed to be like?

"5 and 6 and 7 and 8," Zeth counted, finishing off the last part of the chorus. Zeth and Casper took the initiative to become their dance leaders, meaning they watched the choreography video that the producers had made and were now teaching the dance to the team.

Casper went around and pointed out some flaws in the other's movements.

"Your fingers are spread out. Think of it as a salute," he said to Xin, guiding his hands.

"And Lin Zhi. Your knees should be at a right angle during this movement. It'll look sharper that way," Zeth pointed out.

"Let's do the chorus once again," Casper said, playing back the music.

The team members assumed their temporary positions for the chorus and danced while looking at themselves in the mirror. Despite only practicing for less than two hours, they already got the first verse, pre-chorus, and chorus done.

Their progress was impeccable for an idol trainee team.

Zeth clapped loudly as soon as another round was finished. He then looked at his wristwatch and bit his lip.

"We still have quite a lot of time. So, do you guys want to perform the chorus one by one so we can point out the lacking parts of our dance?" he asked.

"I'm down for that," Steel said. "That helped us a lot when we did it in our past team."

"It sure did," Bin chimed. "I'll go first."

Bin stood center and started dancing to the choreography. He was definitely a very good dancer, and it was also evident in his stats. The kid has risen to an A- at this point in the competition.

The others followed suit, and it couldn't be denied that there was a lot of talent in this team.

Even Xin, whose rank fell below 30, had improved a lot through the course of the competition.

That's probably why they're having a very smooth practice until now.

Sure, June was in a very talented team during the last mission, but it was obvious that they had different views on the song when they first started practicing. This time, though, a concept was laid out in front of them, so it was easier to gather and implement ideas.

"June," Zeth said, a bit out of breath after dancing. "It's your turn."

June looked around and saw his teammates all looking at him. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even notice it was only him who hadn't performed.

June sighed and went to the center. His teammates sat in front of him, leaning against the mirror while looking at him with non-anticipating eyes.

It was clear that they didn't put June's dancing in high regard. At the end of the day, he was still the main vocalist. And up until now, he's still branded as a mediocre dancer because of the impression he made during his auditions.

And although he still doesn't think of himself as a very proficient dancer, June believes he has improved a lot. He was now at the B-tier, and thanks to Grandma inviting him to her Zumba class for the past week, his stamina and agility had also improved.

"Whenever you're ready," Casper said, hovering his hand over the music player.

"I'm ready," June said, just wanting to get this over with.

As the music began to play, the trainees' attention shifted to June. At first, they watched indifferently, just wanting to be respectful.

However, their indifference quickly turned to surprise when June started moving.

They couldn't help but be shocked by the transformation in June's dancing. It was as if he had awakened a skill no one had previously witnessed. The surprise was genuine, their astonishment evident in the subtle widening of their eyes.

Lin Zhi's surprise was more introspective. He remembered his own assessment of June's dancing during the previous mission. June was definitely worse than him back then! Why does it feel like he's better than him now?

Xin's frown deepened as he watched June. He had known June to be reserved and somewhat aloof, but this level of improvement was baffling. His thoughts echoed those of his teammates – how had June managed to progress so rapidly?

Bin's astonishment was equally noticeable. They were both in Team Abyss during the first mission, and he recalled him to be a clumsy dancer back then. Since when has he danced this well?

June continued to move with ease, his attitude remaining nonchalant.

And although he didn't put much emotion into his moves, it was still a very good performance.

Arguably, the most effortless out of all of them. It definitely wasn't perfect…with a few "underdanced" movements here and there.

However, compared to his past self, this change was astronomical.

It looked like he wasn't even trying!

And then, as the music came to an end, June finished his performance with a subtle bow before going back to his seat.

His teammates were stunned to silence as they tried to process what just happened.

"Holy shit," Zeth exclaimed. "Since when were you so good at dancing, little bro?"
