“Actually, Velimia, Reyon continued, “you don’t have to be nervous. Even if you make a mistake at the start, the audience will understand-
veryone knows the first act is tough. And with Audie dragging your team down, even if your final ranking isn’t great, no one will blame your skills!”
Karon’s words seemed supportive, but every phrase was calculated to sow discord and fan the flames.
She assumed Yelimia would resent Audie after hearing this impacting their next performance.
But as she looked at Rayon’s smiling face, Yelimia didn’t feel even & hint of anger. In fact, she almost wanted to laugh.
“I don’t think Audie is a dragon our team. Actually, I’m glad she’s with us! And our team will absolutely put on a stage that everyone will love!” she

Audrey joked. “Just parture the audience as a bunch of carrots! Let’s perform like we did in training, and we’ll be fine!”
Though it was a hit chather, Paula and Yulia seemed to relax after Audrey’s lighthearted remark.
They exchanged glances, extended their right hands in the center, and imaged each other with a quiet cheer. “Gio, go, goi”

They had put in tnore than 20 hours of hard training.
preliminary performance had to be worth their efforts!
“And now, let’s welcome the sixth group to the stage for a wonderful performance.” announced the host.
The group lined up and prepared to step onto the stage.
just then, Paula, who was behind Audrey: let out a sudden yelp. “Oh my god…
The sound startled Yeluna, who quickly turned around, asking. What’s wrong? What happened?”
Saules face was pale as she stared at Audrey’s back in horror. Audie, your dress zipper is open!”
