Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 216 Big Dipper Protects the Body
"Wait...Four stars?!"

But when Xia Fan took out the fourth star from his trouser pocket, most of the eyes turned into jealousy and surprise.

"In other words, his debut performance was recognized by all four mentors at the same time?"

"Don't forget, he is 'Yayoi Tsuki's trainee', and the most difficult star has already been decided, so the difficulty coefficient is much lower than ours."

Four stars means that the four mentors most likely recognized Xia Fan's performance and gave him one star each...

The reason why most of the three-star trainees failed to be promoted to four-star was basically because they failed at the Yayoi Tsuki level.

In their opinion, as a "Yayoizuki-related customer", Xia Fan can be said to have a star when he enters the market.

"You, kid, actually have a four-star rating. It's a pity that you're still a long way behind me..."

"Just like I said before, the stage is where you can prove your strength, not the number of views that can inflate your statistics."

Hirano Yuta, who was closest, deliberately slapped the five-star badge on his chest and preached in the tone of a winner.

"Oh, oh, you are right."

Xia Fan echoed soullessly and hung another star on his chest.

"W-What?! You are also a five-star trainee?"

Staring at the dazzling row of five stars on Xia Fan's chest, Hirano Yuta clenched his back teeth.

"The eighth five-star trainee!"

"This kid, he wore them one by one on purpose, right?"

"But who can pin five stars at once?"

“That’s true…”

The trainees around were also in an uproar and completely desperate.

"Humph, no wonder you look down on everyone. It turns out you also got five stars..."

"Let me guess, there must be two of them given by Yayoi Tsuki, right?"

An Ziyao walked over, turned his back to the camera, and said sarcastically.

"Two? No, it's not what you think..."

Xia Fan shook his head.

Just as An Ziyao was waiting to see how he would "quibble", Xia Fan directly took out two more stars...

The entire backstage area suddenly became quiet.

"Teacher Yayoi, I accidentally gave you too many... I was given five..."

"Hey, it feels so heavy on my chest when they are hung together. What a troublesome rule..."

After putting on the last two pieces, Xia Fan raised his head and straightened his chest with some effort...

Seven metal stars are arranged on the chest in the shape of the "Big Dipper", and the visual effect is as exaggerated as the medal of honor on the uniform of a five-star general.

The trainees' originally noisy whispers had long since disappeared, and the sound of a pin drop could be heard throughout the entire backstage area.

It’s just that the light of the “Big Dipper” is too dazzling, making people feel like thousands of words are stuck in their throats and they don’t know where to start.

"Seven stars... Isn't the highest five stars? How come you have seven stars?!"

Waking up from this magical scene, Yuta Hirano asked indignantly.

"Producer, this guy is cheating. Did he steal the teacher's stars..."

Kishiyo also looked at the executive director on the sidelines and raised his hand to report like an elementary school student. "Trainee Xia Fan did get seven stars. His rating is calculated based on the highest five stars, but the badges must be worn according to regulations."

The executive director checked the communication channel in the headset and confirmed it with pretended calmness.

"I see. His partiality is so obvious. He is indeed a Burning-type expert at manipulation..."

"I just hope that your performance in the upcoming theme song assessment will be worthy of these seven stars."

Seeing the camera coming over, Hirano Yuta and Kishi Sho had no intention of controlling their expressions and could only leave quickly.

"Congratulations, Brother Xia Fan, you are a seven-star trainee. I'm really curious about what kind of show you performed..."

Behind Xia Fan, in the shadow of the waiting area, a dark arm suddenly stretched out and slapped his shoulder vigorously.

"Martin? When did you come..."

He looked back and saw Martin Luther Silver, AKA Maba Luther, AKA Martin Luther Periodic Table…

"What are you talking about? Ever since you came out of the exit passage and were targeted by those two guys, I have been standing behind you to support you."

Martin explained in a wronged tone.

Because every time a trainee comes out of the exit passage, the camera will inevitably be facing this side, so he deliberately stood next to the exit passage, trying to "get in the camera."

Seeing Xia Fan's reaction, he realized...

My skin color has a "nocturnal" effect, and it is almost difficult to distinguish me standing in the shadow of the exit area. The few shots I managed to take before probably only captured a dark figure and four stars floating in the "darkness".

"Seven stars must be heavy, how about I help you share some of the burden?"

"Tsk tsk, what a waste! If you only give me one, I will also be a five-star trainee..."

But he was only disappointed for a second, and then he stared at the star on Xia Fan's chest with shining eyes, as if he was eager to buy one for free and leave.

"Xia Fan...actually got seven stars...How is this possible...You must be kidding..."

"Hmph, I hope you don't confront me too early in the performance, otherwise it will be boring..."

In the crowd, Shibata Makoto was also staring at Xia Fan's chest in amazement.

As a "superhuman" favored by the gods, he claimed that he no longer cared about these "false names". In recent days, he has been busy recruiting people for the "Healing House" and holding a multi-person purification ceremony. He is physically weak and has no time to pay attention to public opinion...

The fact that Xia Fan was selected by the Burning Company, and that he and Yayoi Tsuki "jointly promoted" each other, and that his personal interview video ranked first, was only heard from other trainees.

But when he saw with his own eyes that Xia Fan was protected by the "Seven Stars of the Big Dipper", his desire for fame rose up again and turned into jealousy that burned his heart.

"Ok?"

Just as Shibata Makoto was saying something harsh that only he could hear, Xia Fan suddenly noticed something and looked in this direction...

"Hey, Mr. Hatta?"

"You're also participating in this show? Why haven't I met you before?"

He greeted Shibata loudly and walked quickly to him.

"It's Shibata, not Hatta! I'm here to participate in the competition, it's none of your business..."

Shibata Makoto was about to correct him as usual, but suddenly he found that he had become the focus of all the trainees' attention. Even the executive director followed Xia Fan with a camera...

"Ahahahaha, well, as two alumni of Tokyo University of the Arts who love each other, it must be our destiny for us to meet by chance on the same show!"

He covered the badge on his chest and forced a "warm" smile at Xia Fan.

Not only did they change to the "business tone", but they also deliberately raised the volume to take care of the radio equipment.
