▌ EPISODE NINE: Graduation Day. 
❪ PART ONE. ❫

It is the last week for the students in the Seiyuu Academy 2 studio. Some of them are particularly excited, looking forward to a new adventure in hopes of debuting; others, as usual, can't wait to go home once and for all.

Regardless of what they're looking forward to, however, everyone is equally excited.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ UESAKA SUMIRE（TEACHER） ― Ah, I'm so excited! At last they're preparing to debut...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ RAIN（TEACHER） ― Indeed. It feels like watching my own children grow and leave the nest... I truly raised them well.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ UESAKA SUMIRE（TEACHER） ― You didn't do jack shit to raise them. These are my children.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ RAIN（TEACHER） ― ...

What are you pouting for. She's right. You've been consistently unavailable just in time for each mission.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? ꜜ ???（???） ― Hey, hey... Let's calm down before it escalates again.

Sector 7's reliable leader, Clyde ❪ Seo Junyeol ❫ !

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― I'd like to have a peaceful announcement for once. Alright? Don't be annoying now of all times.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Though Uesaka-san is right, no doubt on that.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ RAIN（TEACHER） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? ꜜ ???（???） ― At last, here we are! Let's get done with this already...

... And Atlantic Apex in Alignment's crazy visual, LOVEbug MOCA ❪ Hanazawa Moka ❫ !

✹ ﹒ ﹒ RAIN（TEACHER） ― You do realize everyone else heard you, right...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― [ignoring RAIN] Good evening, everyone! I'm so excited, you have no idea...!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Same for me! It doesn't feel real...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ RAIN（TEACHER） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― At last, the audience at home will be able to vote for their preferred lineup! This time it'll be the definitive one. Aren't you excited as well?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― You'll be able to vote in two modalities, and the scores will be combined to form the ultimate lineup. Let's see the first one...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― The one-pick voting!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― In this case, you will vote for your absolute favorite contestant. Only one! The catch? You can't vote for your own character.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KIM JUNSEONG ꜜ he/him（BUBBLEGUM BASE） ― ... Character? Who are you talking to, exactly?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（POP CITY） ― You need some antipsychotics, Moka.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― [looking right into the camera, shrugging] I guess our contestants haven't reached full awareness yet, and so they think I must have some problem here...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KANG DOHEE ꜜ she/her（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― What do you mean by th-

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― BUT LET'S MOVE ON TO THE SECOND MODALITY, SHALL WE.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KANG DOHEE ꜜ she/her（DECONSTRUCTED CLUB） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― The lineup voting!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― In this modality, you'll be voting for your remaining 8 picks.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― In a split gender pool, because we do not want another niveau seuil.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Wait, wouldn't that happen anyways since 9 is an odd numb- OUCH.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― [stomping on his feet] No.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― You'll be able to send in up to three voting forms during the entire session, but only once per day. If you want to make use of all your three votes, you will do it in the span of three days of your choice.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― A convenient way for you to keep track of when a voting day has passed is to use the upload time on Mnet's YouTube channel for the extras!

Breaking the fourth wall to say that for each extra I upload, a new voting day has already started.

It should be clear enough already, but just in case...!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Well, then, what are you waiting for? Let's get to the voting already!

FEVEN'S CORNER !!

This is a scheduled upload. I will probably be off reach by the time I'm uploading this, except to announce the chapter on the server. Do not contact me unless absolutely needed.

Will take the chance to announce that due to the disproportion of male/female contestants, the amount of male picks you can select will change throughout the voting session: on the first and fourth day, you'll be able to vote for three options; during the other days, you may only vote for two.

If the question is always written in the same way it's purely because Google Forms would save results in a less convenient way for me if I changed it each time. And yes, it is presented as a voting for nine students in canon because what would be a logical explanation to say otherwise in universe...

Sorry if this is rather short. The next parts will be definitely longer as I will have a reference of who survived each round, and the hosts will have to explain a few more things either way.
