After another long day of training, it's time for the re evaluations. Every trainee has been practicing for their second chance to earn a higher grade. All the mentors gather around a table in front of a large screen.

Kim Namjoon (Rap Mentor): Shall we begin?

Tiffany Young (Vocal Mentor): Let's start with the C class trainees... maybe we'll find some hidden gems.

Park Jimin (National Rep): The first one we have is Kim Herin.

Kim Chungha (Dance Mentor): She's so cute!

Jung Hoseeok (Dance Mentor): I can tell she practiced a lot after the first rehearsal.

Jeon Jungkook (Vocal Mentor): Her voice isn't stable though... she just seems out of breath after the dance break.

Kim Namjoon (Rap Mentor): I think we've come to a decision, let's watch the next one.

Park Jimin (National Rep): Next is Park Sunhi~

Kim Hyuna (Rap Mentor): Wah... what a change in energy from the first audition.

Jeon Jungkook (Vocal Mentor): She's pretty stable too...

Jung Hoseok (Dance Mentor): I'm really proud of how much she practiced this... she didn't miss a single step.

Park Jimin (National Rep): Let's have the next girl: Yang Li Mei

Kim Chungha (Dance Mentor): Her visuals and charm are amazing~

Tiffany Young (Vocal Mentor): I'm not so sure how this concept suits her though...

Kim Namjoon (Rap Mentor): Her pronunciation is a little off too... her English was good though, she definitely practiced that.

Kim Hyuna (Rap Mentor): I think she's the first trainee I've heard an actual "pick me" and not "ping me"

Park Jimin (National Rep): What about Lee Somin?

Jeon Jungkook (Vocal Mentor): She seemed pretty upset over her score the first time... I wonder how much she practiced for this evaluation...

Kim Namjoon (Rap Mentor): I think we've found our hidden gem...

Jung Hoseok (Dance Mentor): Her charms... her technique... how did we give her a C the first time?

Kim Chungha (Dance Mentor): *reading off a sheet of paper* The other C class trainees voted her the most likely to be evaluated to a higher level. It says she also stayed late to help all the trainees to improve their dancing last night before the evaluations.

Kim Hyuna (Rap Mentor): Well I think it's clear what class she belongs in...

Park Jimin (National Rep): Let's watch some of the B class tapes now. First, Bae Chowon.

Tiffany Young (Vocal Mentor): She started off with so much energy, but i feel like she lost some of it throughout the performance.

Kim Chungha (Dance Mentor): It was still a good performance though... i enjoyed watching her overall.

Park Jimin (National Representative): This one is Shin Eunjin~

Jeon Jungkook (Vocal Mentor): Her vocals are actually amazing... best i've heard so far.

Tiffany Young (Vocal Mentor): She just sounds so clear~ even through the video

Park Jimin (National Rep): Let's see some of the A class videos.

Kim Hyuna (Rap Mentor): I'm pretty excited for these ones... they are the candidates for center of the performance.

Park Jimin (National Rep): First we have Choi Seohyun~

Jeon Jungkook (Vocal Mentor): Oh... she's the French speaking one right? When I tried to help her with the singing parts, she kept asking me if I spoke French. One of the others had to explain later it was just a prank.

Jeon Jungkook (Vocal Mentor): Whenever she performs, her expressions are always so dramatic, I feel like she might just jump out of the screen and attack me.

Jung Hoseok (Dance Mentor): Her dancing is so sharp and she gets every beat~ you trained her well Chungha

Park Jimin (National Rep): Next is... Kang Hyunjin

Tiffany Young (Vocal Mentor): She has beautiful visuals... so cute!

Kim Chungha (Dance Mentor): I feel like she lost a lot of energy as the song went on though, she was barely jumping for the second chorus...

Kim Namjoon (Rap Mentor): Her breath control could use improvement as well...

Jung Hoseok (Dance Mentor): But her ending pose was perfect! She's really young, but she has really good presence and was really good at following the camera.

Park Jimin (National Rep): And here we have Misae Nakamura~

Kim Hyuna (Rap Mentor): Her pronunciation has improved so much honestly; she never ceases to impress

Tiffany Young (Vocal Mentor): Of all the vocalists, she's one of my top picks for sure.

Park Jimin (National Rep): And last, but not least: Lee Chaerin.

Jeon Jungkook (Vocal Mentor): She always looks so fierce as well! Honestly she is the scariest trainee by far~

Kim Hyuna (Rap Mentor): *she shoves him lightly* Hey! Don't call her scary~ that's rude! Besides, it works for her! That was one of the best recordings we've seen all day.

Jeon Jungkook (Vocal Mentor): I didn't say it was bad... also her English is better here too...

Kim Namjoon (Rap Mentor): I don't know about that: "ping me ping me ping me up"

Kim Hyuna (Rap Mentor): *she shoves him as well* Stop that! Be nice!

[A Class Training Studio]

Kim Chungha (Dance Mentor): Your results from the re evaluation... when I call your name come take your envelope.

[INTERVIEW]

Park Athena (PLEDIS // A): Are my hands still shaking? I could barely open my letter when she gave it to me... I wondered if I actually would drop it in front of her, which would have been really embarrassing, but I didn't so I guess that's pretty lucky for me.

[END INTERVIEW]

The girls all take their envelopes with shaking hands... what would be held inside? The same scenario goes on in each training room. As they open the letters, there are some shouts of joy and the sounds of sobs as each some trainees will have to leave their training room to go to an upper or lower one. But who would be moving up... and who would be moving down?

[B Class Training Studio]

The girls leaving the room had left a few minutes ago... the door opens... who will be joining the remaining trainees in Class B?

It's Park Sunhi from Pledis Entertainment!

Park Sunhi (PLEDIS // C // B): *bowing to the girls* Annyeonghaseyo... annyeonghaseyo... hi everyone.

Zhang Weilan (PLEDIS // B): Unnie! Yes~ welcome to the squad. You'll get used the orange, it's actually kind of cute once it grows on you.

The door opens it again... who will it be? Two trainees enter and all the girls gasp...

Kang Hyunjin (SM // A // B): Annyeonghaseyo...

Roh Yulhee (SM // A // B): Nice to meet you guys.

Charlotte runs over to them, wrapping her arms around Hyunjin, who looks like she's been crying.

Ashbourne Charlotte (SM // B): Don't cry Hyunnie... it'll be okay...

[INTERVIEW]

Lee Suran (CUBE // B): I couldn't believe that two trainees from A class actually moved down to B! I wonder how many girls are even left in A class... I mean, it was kind of sad to just keep a B level... but I'm so glad I didn't go down to C. I take back everything I said: orange is the best color.

[END INTERVIEW]

[C Class Training Studio]

Jung Yena (JYP // C): I knew Somin and Sunhi were going to move up... they practiced so much. I bet even Jhope sunbaenim smiled for them!

The door opens... who will it be?

Kwon Choonchee (Yuehua // B // C): *with tears in her eyes* A-annyeonghaseyo... nice to meet you all.

Almost immediately, both Li Mei and Herin rush over to her to give her a hug. Li Mei because they trained together for years, and Herin because anyone who's sad deserves a hug.

Yang Li Mei (Yuehua // C): Hey, it's okay... it's just a letter...

Kwon Choonchee (Yuehua // C): A letter that means everything... no one will vote for me anymore because I moved down.

Kim Herin (BigHit // C): That's not true, just because you're C level, doesn't mean that people won't vote for you, it just means that you have to stand out in other ways.

The door opens again, but just barely, as if the trainee hopes to slip in unnoticed.

Hwang Hayun (IND // B // C): Hey everyone....

None of the other trainees really knew her, so Herin was the first one to ask her name.

Kim Herin (BigHit // C): Hi! I'm Kim Herin, nice to meet you. What's your name again?

Hwang Hayun (IND // C): Oh! Sorry, I'm Hwang Hayun, nice to meet you too.

Kim Herin (BigHit // C): *her eyes light up* Wait... like the Hwang Hayun?

Hwang Hayun (IND // C): ...yes?

Kim Herin (BigHit // C): I don't know how I didn't recognize you at the audition! Probably because I've only ever heard your voice... but your mixtape is my entire life! I love it so much!

Hwang Hayun (IND // C): Thanks... Herin right? No one's ever really told me in person that they like my music, it means a lot.

[A Class Training Studio]

After Hyunjin and Yulhee left, the room went dead silent... until the door opened again.

Shin Eunjin (IND // B // A): *bowing* Hi everyone~

The other trainees begin to applaud for her and she begins blushing.

Shin Eunjin (IND // A): You don't have to clap for me... we all deserve this.

While the others were getting to know Eunjin, Misae found herself alone in the corner of the room.

Park Athena (PLEDIS // A): *slides over to her* Hey, Misae, what's up?

Nakamura Misae (JYP // A): Hey Athena... and it's nothing...

Park Athena (PLEDIS // A): It doesn't seem like nothing...

Nakamura Misae (JYP // A): I just don't feel like I deserve this... Hyunjin and Yulhee worked hard as well. If it wasn't for them I don't know how I would have learned the lyrics in time.

Park Athena (PLEDIS // A): Well, I guess this is just the universe's way of telling you not to doubt yourself.

Suddenly, the door opened again. The final trainee to join A class is...

Lee Somin (IND // C // A): Annyeonghaseyo Lee Somin-ibnida.

Everyone is shocked for the first ten seconds... no one had been expecting anyone from C class to move up so far.

Choi Seohyun (IND // A): Yes!!! You did it!!! I knew you could do it!! Somin! Somin! Somin!

The other trainees begin chanting her name as well, and Somin buries her face into her hands shyly.

Lee Somin (IND // A): Thank you! Is this really real? I can barely believe this!

The trainees get to chat for the rest of the evening before moving into their new dorm rooms. The next day would bring the announcement of center... and their debut on the MCountdown stage. Some girls are overjoyed with their new letter, while some decide they should just make the best of the situation. Some are excited with the what the future holds, while others don't know if they'll make it past the first elimination.

While the mood might seem relatively peaceful now... who knows when the competition will set in, where it's any trainee's game: a class or c class, because after all, the mentors can advise, but in order to win that top spot the final ones to impress will be: the national producers.
