The results of the evaluation were shown on the 1st of October, while waiting Daeho just kept up with his usual routine of training, training, and studying. In the middle, he would meet his developing friends and have some relaxing time with them. The girls he spoke to and met on the evaluation day would show up from time to time to chat with them or eat together. Things were going their way.

And Daeho is looking at his rank with amazement. His rank could be categorized as a complicated matter, but then again he knew he still had a long way to go.

Matter of fact he had ranked 10th in the dancing contest and singing he had ranked in the 5th it was quite embarrassing and just looking at these two he felt sadness built up inside, maybe it had been mostly frustration since he believed he could have done it better.

But what was surprising was the fact that the genius trainee was given to him was amazing in itself, Daeho thought about it and he had underestimated his performance in singing [to my youth], he did lack in the vocals and he had gotten the emotions to take over, but again it was an evaluation so it counted that he had made a piece of original music.

This original music was the driving factor for this award he assumed, but then again it is such a beautiful song, coupling it with his piano skills and how he transmitted the message must have given points to it. It was an amazing thing and he felt happy and elated after taking the genius trainee.

Then surprisingly Rose had given him a notification.

[ Oh! Congratulations you have been rewarded your first title.]

[Title- Genius Trainee

Being awarded the overall rank 1 trainee, being a trainee is all about progressing and it is where trainees start to show their value. Being the Overall best doesn't mean you need to be the best in everything, but you just need to be more valuable than the others. Showing your worth with your unique skills and charms.

Passive Effect- Appearance +2, Performance +3, Singing +2, Dancing +2 ]

Daeho was amazed and was happy to get this reward, this was better than the Genius trainee rewards, which would only give him WP, it would help nonetheless, but those stat points were way more valuable for him.

He felt elated and ignored some envious and doubtful gazes that were targeted at him. But this too had been changed the next moment and it entitled the 3 surprises of the day.

He received a message from the company, in the trainee group. Yes, there was a group with every trainee only the Chairwoman, the secretary could send messages or some rather important staff, to both signal important events or dates for the exams or just any important news.

( Hello everyone, relating to the overall rank people may be doubtful about the rank and we do understand that, and that is why the most impactful performance of the one ranked number 1 will be shown. The company has reformulated its rules and it is a way to give awareness about our trainees to the public too. Obviously, this time had been really exceptional. Since the rank number 1 has shown us something surprising.

* LINK SENT*

Keep up the good work everyone. )

Daeho wasn't told about that, but then again he wasn't worried about anything, he knew the company wouldn't show his face right now, besides the idea of hiding his pretty face was of the woman ruling this place literally, so if anything it would be embarrassing for people to see him crying.

He clicked on the link and he was amazed, the quality of the video was insanely high and there was a slight side view of him, it was really slight and couldn't make it of who he was, it was mostly his back and the swaying of his body while he played the piano, coupled with the sound of his voice singing.

After a little bit, his voice quality went down a bit but it wasn't less charming, right the opposite it gave it a new feel to it, a sense of closeness.

He watched the video until the very end until he just heard the sound of various keys giving a horrendous sound, and saw himself there watching himself cry from his back, he himself wanted to pat himself on the back, it was weird.

He was mostly embarrassed since it looked like was a pitiful man who wanted someone to hold him, but it was way off of that. He felt like the company wanted to induce sympathy of the viewers and it didn't sit well in his heart.

But again it wasn't his decision to do, the company had people planning their trainees' paths and people who would know how to use and transmit the best of what the performance indicated.

Daeho actually was thinking too much, Kang Ji-Hyun just wanted to show people the full thing and show the world her trainee. It was mostly a great thing since the music had a great enough sad aura, it was a way to show the sadness of the company throughout all the poaching events and about how they felt about the hate. It was a music fitting of the companies situation. And leaving the last bit of him crying was just to add impact to it and show that it was a performance, a real performance everything they felt was real.

It was something that would benefit both the artist and the company, as for people poaching their talents once again? Well, they could indeed do that but that would just break the image of the trainee in the end. Imagine being awarded 1 ranked in a company and then just going for another company after. It was a little thing like loyalty but breaking that and the public knowing would be detrimental to a person's career.

But onto it after watching the video posted on the official Shining Industries channel [To my Youth-Ryuu] he decided to look at the views and oh it had been a couple of hours and the video had already reached 50000 views.

''Rose I know this might be a stupid idea but the views relating to me on other's videos, count too right?''

[ Yes it indeed counts as yours matter of fact you got a big 67000 VP's, it is enough to say that it is a moving song.]

This surprised him since it meant that quite a lot of people had been moved by his song and it made him feel happy. He felt happy for making people cry to his song since that was probably what people who were hit deeply by the music would do.

A funny thing. The trainees who had been giving him dubious looks or the other hostile looks were looking at him in a new light, they saw the video and indeed it was too impactful, it was an original song too and they knew the value of that.

They now gave him sympathetic looks, which really was awkward he wanted to just shout out loud. 'I am not sad like that anymore, it was just the nostalgia.' But he decided to not even say anything people would just think it was him giving a tantrum.

After all, they all knew how young he was supposedly and it had been a topic since the trainees even called him the 'Masked Trainee' embarrassing name but this mysterious name had picked many trainees interest and even gave the trio who interacted with him normally to get a headache by people questioning about him.
