SEIYUU ACADEMY: EPISODE ONE.

WILL YOU BE THE ONE TO GO HOME TODAY?

WEEK TWO, DAY TWO. THE STUDENTS ARE CURRENTLY RELAXING IN THEIR DORMS.

SOME OF THEM WILL BE LEAVING SEIYUU ACADEMY TODAY.

〔 LEE AEJUNG ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 What do you think, Yeeun?

〔 SON YEEUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 ... I guess I'm pretty relaxed. Out of our classmates, half of them got less than me... That would be enough to save me.

〔 LEE AEJUNG ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 You're right... [fidgeting her hands] I'm worried for Taewon, though... He got the lowest grade in his team, after all.

〔 SON YEEUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 6 is close to an average grade. I'm sure he'll be fine.

〔 LEE AEJUNG ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Mhm... I hope so...

AEJUNG LEANS ON YEEUN AS SHE IMPATIENTLY WAITS FOR THE RESULTS TO COME OUT.

HOW TO BLAME HER? IN THE WORST SCENARIO, FOUR TRAINEES WILL HAVE TO LEAVE.

〔 YANG SIHYEON ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 ... I'll prepare my things.

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Sihyeon...

〔 YANG SIHYEON ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 [sighs] I'm so disappointed in myself... I let stage fright ruin my performance once again. How can I become the performer they want me to be with this obstacle on my way?

〔 PARK JUNO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Maybe the teachers will see that and understand... Give you a second chance, even?

〔 YANG SIHYEON ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Their judgement was very clear. Someone who can't even sing a single line in front of the teachers without panicking and crying can't possibly continue here... It's OK, though. I'll accept it.

〔 SUNG JUNSOO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Sisi, you'll do just fine out of here if it comes to that! Idol life doesn't suit you... At all.

〔 PARK JUNO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [blank stare] Inspiring. Motivational, even. Was that needed, Junsoo?

〔 YANG SIHYEON ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 It's OK... He's not wrong... I'm profitting off his voice, after all... He would know...

DING DONG! A SPEAKER IN THE DORM STARTS RINGING OUT OF NOWHERE !

〔 "MOMOE" ﹕ STAFF 〕 The results of the vocal audition have been published. You may check the NOTICE BOARD in the school HALL.

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Let's go check... Junsoo, are you coming?

〔 SUNG JUNSOO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 I couldn't give two shits! I surely passed. Tell me how it went once you come back~

〔 PARK JUNO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 You sure? We should be supporting Sihyeon in the wait. You know she's at risk, right...

〔 SUNG JUNSOO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Sihyeon is more resilient than you think. They hate it when people pity them, either way... You're less helpful than you think you are!

〔 SUNG JUNSOO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Now move yer asses and go check those results~ Good luck, Sisi!

〔 YANG SIHYEON ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 [smiling] Thank you, Soo.

THE STUDENTS RUN TO THE NOTICE BOARD LIKE A FLOCK OF BIRDS.

EVERYONE IS DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR THEIR NAME IN THE LIST, EVEN WHILE KNOWING WELL THEIR RESULTS.

STARTING FROM THE TOP OF THE RANKING . . .

〔 OSCAR LEE ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 H-huh? Top of the ranking? I didn't think my grade was that high!

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 So this is why Junsoo was so sure he passed... Unsurprising.

〔 YANG ZIXUAN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 ... Three out of four new auditionees got some of the highest grades. I'm screwed...

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Oh, Zixuan...

〔 LEE TAEWON ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 [gulps] That's more than double my grade...! I'm probably done for, at this point.

〔 OSCAR LEE ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 You didn't get that low of a grade, Taewon! You're definitely surviving. Let's read... See? You're in the lower half, but still acceptable!

〔 LEE SIYUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Wow... Oscar, Kyuhyung and Junyong got a 13... Right where I... I...

〔 TAEYANG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 I'm so sorry, Si-

〔 LEE SIYUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 [pushing TAEYANG away] If it wasn't for your brother, I could've had a chance, but both miss Choi "I hate all men" Eunwoo and him had to do things their own way. I'm so done.

〔 TAEYANG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Siyun...

〔 NOH SEOKHOON ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 ... Taeyang, let him be.

WHAT HAPPENED TO LEE SIYUN?

BACK TO THE DAY OF THE AUDITION...

〔 D.O ﹕ VOCAL TEACHER 〕 Next one would be... NOH SEOKHOON, 6.

〔 CLASS THREE 〕 !?

〔 D.O ﹕ VOCAL TEACHER 〕 Your voice was shaky and unstable after your first few lines... I think it doesn't have to do with your preparation, but rather with your emotional status at the moment... I've listened to the song you performed in Strings Attached, so I know your average level... But this was not it. We hope to see your best sides from now on.

〔 TAEYEON ﹕ VOCAL TEACHER 〕 Finally, YANG ZIXUAN and LEE SIYUN...

TAEYEON STARES BLANKLY INTO HER PAPERS.

〔 TAEYEON ﹕ VOCAL TEACHER 〕 ...

〔 BAEKHYUN ﹕ VOCAL TEACHER 〕 ...

〔 D.O ﹕ VOCAL TEACHER 〕 ... It's 1 for YANG ZIXUAN.

〔 TAEYEON ﹕ VOCAL TEACHER 〕 ... We weren't particularly impressed. For a performer with your experience, this is not even remotely acceptable... The song was difficult, but to mess up the basics this way, you can't really blame the song choice.

〔 D.O﹕ VOCAL TEACHER 〕 As for SIYUN... You sounded like you gave up completely. What did you think you were doing? Is that the attitude you're going to show us here if we keep you in the competition? Had you sung at least two or three lines, I would've given you a 3... But this?

〔 BAEKHYUN ﹕ VOCAL TEACHERS 〕 I'm very sorry, SIYUN, but what was said is right. You sang your first line and then just stared into nothing for the rest of the song... Your strong aversion for the audition piece should've been discussed during training, not expressed here.

〔 D.O ﹕ VOCAL TEACHER 〕 So, overall... It's a 0, of course. We wish you the best on your future endeavors.

〔 LEE SIYUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 ... I understand.

IT SEEMED LIKE HE TOOK THE NEWS WELL THE FIRST TIME, BUT APPARENTLY NOT.

〔 TAEYANG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 But Seokhoon...

〔 NOH SEOKHOON ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Let him be, Taeyang... He made his choice.

〔 TAEYANG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 ...

〔 EDEN SEOK ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Oh... Even the fourth new auditionee, Ruruka, got 11... The producers were quite evil for this, I say. I'm sure they knew already.

〔 JEONG SAMUEL ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 ... I'm starting to think the same. Seohyun-sunbaenim probably knew too...

〔 EDEN SEOK ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 It could be, yes. I wouldn't be surprised.

LET'S SHOW ALL GRADES VERY QUICKLY.

〔 "MOMOE" ﹕ STAFF 〕 Your public profiles on the SEIYUU ACADEMY APP will be updated to include the new results. Speaking of which, have you all registered your accounts?

〔 KIM GARAM ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 ... Were we supposed to?

〔 "MOMOE" ﹕ STAFF 〕 ...

〔 "MOMOE" ﹕ STAFF 〕 Please do, then!

〔 "MOMOE" ﹕ STAFF 〕 As for the new students, congratulations! These are your KEYS to your respective dorms, bedroom and class's training room.

〔 CHA JISEONG ﹕ ??? 〕 Oh, thank you! Look! It's blue!

〔 YANG HYEONGJIN ﹕ ??? 〕 Wait... Mine is blue as well! Aren't we in the same class, then? Did you get a blue key too, Haesol?

〔 JUNG HAESOL ﹕ ??? 〕 Mhm! I'm so glad to be reunited with you guys!

〔 ZHOU LIQIANG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Oh, true... Among the eliminated students, three are from our class...

〔 NOH SEOKHOON ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Indeed... I sure hope we can get along well.

TIME FOR THE NEW STUDENTS GO TO THEIR DORMS FOR THE FIRST TIME, ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR NEW ROOMMATES.

〔 YANG HYEONGJIN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 So I'm officially part of CLASS THREE... I see! Am I classmates with any of you?

〔 SUNG JUNSOO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Ne~gative! We're all in CLASS TWO.

〔 PARK JUNO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 No, but we can eat together in the cafeteria after classes to make up for that.

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 It's a great plan, I agree. It's also nice to meet you, Hyeongjin. Good job on the audition!

〔 YANG HYEONGJIN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Aaah... Thank you! I hope both Haechan and Jiseong have such nice roommates as well!

〔 PARK JUNO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Haechan, you said? Isn't that a NCT member?

〔 SUNG JUNSOO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [clinging onto JUNO] My Juno is sooo cultured~!

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [rolling his eyes] Yeah, Haechan is an NCT member. I think Hyeongjin is referring to his friend, though...?

〔 YANG HYEONGJIN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Ah, yes! Sorry for the confusion...! That's our nickname for Haesol... He's our full sun!

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 That's so nice...! Cute, even. Well... I'm sure they're in good hands.

SHALL WE VERIFY IT OUTSELVES?

IN THE DOG DORM...

〔 JUNG HAESOL ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Hi boysssss~ I'm SO excited to start!

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Hi hi! Welcome in the DOG DORM! I can't wait to know you better~ I'm Huijun!

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Hi dude... Haesol, was it? Nice to meet you...! Leave your bags here, if you want: you can sort your stuff after dinner.

〔 JUNG HAESOL ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Thank you so much~!

〔 HWANG SUHO ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 First time in the morning and you guys are so loud already... [yawns as they digit aggressively on their laptop]

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 MORNING? Bro... I hate to break it to you, but it's almost 7:00 PM and we're going to have dinner soon-

〔 JUNG HAESOL ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 [chuckles] Can we give a look at what you're writing...?

〔 HWANG SUHO ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 [eyes fixed on their laptop] Suho. My name is Suho.

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... What are you even writing on that thing?

〔 HWANG SUHO ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Serious, adult things.

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 [peeking] Adult things, xe says...!

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 What the fuck man... That's a bunch of random letters!

〔 JUNG HAESOL ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Shh, leave them alone... They're doing serious, adult things.

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Not you too... [sighs] Hey, you. Do you want me to get you something to eat?

〔 HWANG SUHO ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 No, thank you. [lifts his bag] I have all I need for today.

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... OK then. You two, shall we go? I think the cafeteria won't be that full right now...

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Right! Haesol, after dinner we'll show you around a bit! Right Mingyu?

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [groans] Do we have to...

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 [with a serious face] Drop it. Stop being stingy, it's annoying.

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... !?

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Ahhh! I'm so ready to eat~ Food! Food! Food!

〔 JUNG HAESOL ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Food! Food! Food!

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ...

━━━━━━━━━━

〔 JUNG HAESOL ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Hi hi, I'm Jung Haesol! I've decided to give a second chance to idol life through Seiyuu Academy...! Which is very funny, because I know more about the whole program than the other trainees could ever dream to do after working behind the scenes until now. Don't you think the dorm keys are very cute? I designed them! Thank me later~

〔 JUNG HAESOL ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 My dormmates seem to be very interesting people, so I hope we get to become closer~! I feel like I could get along with Huijun the most, but Mingyu and Suho seem just as cool...! Hopefully I'm right.

━━━━━━━━━━

MEANWHILE, IN THE PENGUIN DORM...

〔 KWON SIYUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 He's so cute! He's like a penguin! He's Pororo in real life! Look at his cheeks! They're so squishy!

〔 CHA JISEONG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 My cheeks huwt...

〔 LI SHIYUN ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Leave his cheeks alone, Siyun...!

〔 KWON SIYUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Oh, I'm sorry!

〔 CHA JISEONG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 You're good! [holding his cheeks with a smile] Are you two a thing?

〔 LI SHIYUN ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... Excuse me?

〔 KWON SIYUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 NO? Shiyun is like a sister to me...! Quite literally, she's almost like a twin.

〔 CHA JISEONG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Oh, I see! You just seem like a couple where the silent yet gentle girl stops her sweet yet chaotic boyfriend from causing a mess everytime...! But I guess not, huh. That's fine!

〔 LI SHIYUN ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Wow... Is that the impression I give out...

〔 CHA JISEONG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 You kinda do, yes.

〔 KWON SIYUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 ... [his stomach grumbles] I'm so hungry! Shall we get something to eat? Maybe it's better if we go on our own, Jiseong...! Shiyun doesn't feel that well today, so let's have her rest a bit.

〔 LI SHIYUN ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Oh, no! I'm fine, I prom-

〔 KWON SIYUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 No no! Get in bed, quick! Time to get into your blankets and warm up! I'll get you something good to eat.

〔 LI SHIYUN ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [sighs] If you say so... Thank you, Siyun.

〔 CHA JISEONG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 ... Maybe it's the other way round. You are the caring boyfriend.

〔 KWON SIYUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Oh, come on now! [chuckles]

THE RANKING IS NOT TODAY'S LAST COMMUNICATION FROM THE STAFF, THOUGH.

〔 "MOMOE" ﹕ STAFF 〕 Starting this week, you'll interact directly with someone involved in the animanga industry. We're talking about an emergent mangaka whose works are being serialized after her long time as an artist on Pixiv.

〔 "MOMOE" ﹕ STAFF 〕 We earned the possibility to have you, aspiring seiyuus, act out the scenes and get officially casted for the animated adaptation of one of her most famous works, currently ongoing... And that is...

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Huh!?

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [with food in his mouth] Whahryrysron'...

〔 JUNG HAESOL ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Wait... I used to scanlate one of her works! But-we-dropped-it-after-it-got-an-official-serialization-please-don't-kill-me-if-you-find-out!

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Woah, really!? Tell me more...!

〔 "MOMOE" ﹕ STAFF 〕 Ahem! "What If?" is an ongoing work released weekly surrounding the same five characters everytime, while describing them in different scenarios. The author, mamanaka, usually writes each chapter on the basis of Twitter polls' results.

〔 "MOMOE" ﹕ STAFF 〕 ... Except this time, you are going to be the authors of your own scenes.

〔 EVERYONE 〕 ... HUH?

WHAT DOES THE SECOND MISSION REQUIRE? THIS AND MANY OTHER SECRETS CAN ONLY BE DISCOVERED HERE, IN SEIYUU ACADEMY. STAY TUNED TO FIND THEM ALL OUT !

FEVEN'S CORNER !!!

I can't believe this episode is over as well! I hope it was interesting enough ^0^

The SYA APP will be officially open starting tomorrow morning in my time! It was supposed to be by the same time of this chapter's upload, but I'm going to sleep now so... Yeah.

DORMS ROLEPLAY will also be open by the time the specific extra (EXTRA #03) is up!

All I can say now is to prepare yourselves, because the second mission will be starting in a few days ✨ I'm also putting SEIYUU ACADEMY uploads on hold once part one of #syatwt and all extras are out just so I can finally upload the final parts of my other survival. Hope you don't mind!

I didn't reread anything so don't come at me for mistakes. 😁
