▌ EPISODE FOUR: The First Eliminations. 
❪ PART TWO. ❫

⚠️ PLEASE DON'T TAG THE APPLIERS INLINE TO THEIR OC'S RANKING. It hasn't ever happened in any of my applyfics, but better be safe than sorry. It's plain disrespectful towards both me as the author and the applier in question, so don't do that. Please. ⚠️

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Do we have another survivor among the students who performed TOMBOY?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― There's no one else. You may now proceed back to your original seats.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHEON JUNSEO ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― [gulps] ...

The remaining male students from Class Two and Class Four go back to their seats.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Before you think you're eliminated already, remember that if you weren't called right now, you might still be one of the lucky ones who got into the Top 7 or the riskier Rank 27. Don't worry just yet!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHOI NOEUL ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― [sighs] I really hope so... What about you?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ YANG INSOO ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― Eh? Ah, yeah, of course! Who wouldn't want to survive after all?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ YANG DEOKSU ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― ...

... I don't know about you, but I think Deoksu just wants to go home.

And he's not the only one either.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Since we just finished announcing the ranks of Class Two and Class Four's male students, how about we move to the same classes' female ones? This will be quick, since there's very little of you either way.

With only seven female students between the two classes, Junyeol is indeed right.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― I will now announce the first survivor among the students who performed EXO's The Eve.

The Class Four students all hold each other's hands, anxiously waiting for their results.

Class Two's students, on the other hand...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JANG SEONMI ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NAM HANEUL ꜜ she/they（CLASS TWO） ― ... Good luck, girls? I hope we make it out of here safe...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― ... Good luck.

❪ INTERVIEW ❫

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HIURA ASHINA ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― ... I'm... Not too sure about what happened there? Aside from the mission... But things seemed pretty tense between Den and the other two girls in her class.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHA YUBIN ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― The camera was suspiciously zooming on Den all the time... I don't know, I feel like they were purposefully looking for something evil edit worthy from her.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― I don't think so.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HIURA ASHINA ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― Mh?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― Well, maybe also because Den hasn't really fallen for their tricks either, but I feel like the production's targets are... Essentially everyone in the studio.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― The first survivor among the students who performed The Eve is Rank 18.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― ... Oh? We're starting quite low this time.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MIZUTANI MOE ꜜ she/xe（CLASS ONE） ― Right? How scary... Although it's a relief for us too, I guess.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Similarly to Muchen, this student has also seen an impressive growth in her ranking since the pre-vote results.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Let's find out together who it is!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Seoyoon has significantly contributed to her class's success despite her inexperience, earning her a rather high place in the ranking compared to her Rank 36 in the pre-vote. Congratulations!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HA SEOYOON ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― E-eh?! Oh... I'm...!

Ashina, Yulian and Yubin hug Seoyoon as the latter starts crying!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HA SEOYOON ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― [sniffling, as the others keep hugging her] I'm... I'm so moved... Thank you all for supporting me... Here I thought I would get eliminated soon, I wouldn't have thought I would've gotten all this support.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HA SEOYOON ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― Thank you all so much, really! I will keep working hard and do my best for you. I don't know how far I will go, but... [bowing] Please, keep supporting me until the very end!

The other students clap as Seoyoon reaches her seat, not before hugging her classmates once again.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Aww, such a heartwarming scene...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― But let's proceed with the next ranks, shall we? I wonder if there's any other survivor among you girls...

The students currently standing on the main stage wait with fear in their eyes.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHA YUBIN ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― [holding YULIAN and ASHINA's hands tight] Ah, I'm so scared! I want to survive with you!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HIURA ASHINA ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― Don't worry, Yubin. We'll make it out of here together.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHEN YULIAN ꜜ she/they（CLASS FOUR） ― Mhm! I'm not ready to let go of anyone just yet~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Yes, there is another survivor indeed.

The girls exhale in relief.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Coming right after Seoyoon, Rank 19 is someone whose outstanding leadership skills led to impressive results for their team.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― Alright, this is not about me then.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NAM HANEUL ꜜ she/they（CLASS TWO） ― ... Hey, don't you think that's too much? We got it, you hate our guts, but can we at least be civil with each oth-

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― The [BLEEP] not. You don't deserve any of that.

GO OOMF YOU'RE RIGHT-

I mean what. I didn't say anything.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― Sorry for the interruption, we can go on.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Right... [sighs] Let's reveal the student in question, then...!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Although Yulian is not the main Class Representative, they have shown how helpful they are to the class in various ways, ultimately securing a rank close enough to their original one. Congratulations!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHEN YULIAN ꜜ she/they（CLASS FOUR） ― Thanks, everyone!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHEN YULIAN ꜜ she/they（CLASS FOUR） ― Ah, I don't have much to say... But aside from my fans at home, I dedicate this win to my biggest supporter of all times, Moe! [hands in a prayer sign] Please survive this round for me... I know you can do it...

Lesbians wishing each other well instead of making sappy speeches about themselves... I stan.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MIZUTANI MOE ꜜ she/xe（CLASS ONE） ― [flushed] Aw, c'mon... She's so sweet.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― Are we going to have another marriage in this studio? I better be invited to this one.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HUR YIRURI ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― What? You want to be the priest?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― Hey. My connection with Christianity doesn't reach that point.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― ... In other words, even if I wanted to, I don't have a marriage license. Can someone ask Zheng Huan if he does?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Ahem.

The students turn towards Junyeol, dropping all their conversations.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Guys, I know I'm taking long, but the production will kill me if I don't take up all the time slot for this episode so be patient and help me out, alright?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Half of your commentary is boring and won't give you any additional screentime even if you try, so quit that crap.

... HARSH.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― Moka might be [BLEEP] in the brain, but you know who's even worse? Junyeol.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― One weird move with him and you're essentially done for.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― I vouch for him.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― This is very funny... I wonder why you think that, though? Didn't Moka try to kill you, Jayden?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― And she failed because she's a lame loser... But if he tried, I would be dead. No second chances.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― [popping up from behind JAYDEN] Aw, is that what you think of me?

Jayden, now shaking in fear and sweating like never before, starts praying out loud.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my savior, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― [claps] I taught him that one!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Now that you're finally quiet, let's proceed with the ranking! Is there any other survivor among the girls we have here right now?

The Class Two and Four girls anxiously waiting for Junyeol to proceed, not daring to comment on how slowly he's announcing the result after the whole scene from earlier.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― There's one last survivor indeed!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KOBAYASHI MIREI ꜜ they/she（CLASS ONE） ― Huh? Only one?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― ... It can't be Den, right? Hopefully she's still in Top 7... Any rank at this point is too low for her.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― This student, who has reached Rank 23, had a Main Position in the previous performance.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― Definitely not her, then. Didn't she assign the main roles to the other two in her class?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― Yeah... [sighs] I'm so nervous, and it's not even about me.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KOBAYASHI MIREI ꜜ they/she（CLASS ONE） ― Well... Unlike us, she does want to debut, doesn't she? [patting KYU's back] It's normal to want your friend to fulfill their dreams! Take this positively.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Well, then! Shall we announce the last survivor of this bunch?

Nam Haneul, Jang Seonmi and Cha Yubin look at one another, gulping in expectation.

Who will survive among them?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Congratulations, Yubin! Both the teachers and the audience at home fell in love with your vocals during the latest performance. May your journey in Seiyuu Academy 2 be successful from now on!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHA YUBIN ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― Ah, thank you...!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHA YUBIN ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― [bowing] I will work even harder, so keep looking at me. Thanks for loving me regardless of everything!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HIURA ASHINA ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― I'm so proud of you, Yubin! You did well~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHA YUBIN ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― Ashina...

Yubin hugs Ashina tight, unwilling to go to her seat...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHA YUBIN ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― Ashina, you need to survive this round... I will wait for you while looking at the Top 7 seats, mh?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HIURA ASHINA ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― Of course, of course~ Classes might be disbanding, but Scamism sure isn't! I'm not leaving any time soon.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HIURA ASHINA ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― Now, go! We'll see each other later.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHA YUBIN ꜜ she/her（CLASS FOUR） ― Mhm...

Yubin eventually lets go of Ashina and leaves, walking towards the seat reserved to Rank 23.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― We're now done with yet another group of students. The remaining girls may go back to their seats.

Haneul, Den, Ashina and Seonmi go back to their seats.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Once again, I'd like to remind you that even if you weren't called just now, you might be one of the Top 7 contenders or the last survivor at Rank 27. Don't lose all hope yet!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Let's proceed with the students who performed TWIT!

The male students from Class One and Three get on the stage.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― The first survivor we have among you is Rank 11.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― Ah, that's a decent rank.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON YUL ꜜ he/they（CLASS THREE） ― Please... One of us...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Between the two classes, Class One got a huge benefit of 18,000 points, but surprisingly this student from Class Three was still able to win over all the male students there.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MIZUTANI MOE ꜜ she/xe（CLASS ONE） ― Oh?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― A few steps away from reaching a million points, Rank 11 is...

Junyeol glares at Yew.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― I think I heard something from Nanamin about Yew refusing to look at her when she took stage pictures for everyone.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― ... What did I do to have to deal with these idiots again?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― [sighs, loosening his tie] You know what? Whatever, I'll deal with you later. Stay there for now, we'll have the speeches at the end this time.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HEO SEONWOO ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― He's not even my type per se, but he's so charming regardless... I mean, have you looked at him?

Oh, so they're both kinda gay for each other. Got it.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― I'll now announce the next survivor among the students who performed TWIT.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NATHAN CHAE ꜜ he/they（CLASS THREE） ― Oh? Do y'all think it's Yul? He was 32nd or somethin'.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MIAO QIUYE ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― Or maybe Yunzhi from Class One?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NATHAN CHAE ꜜ he/they（CLASS THREE） ― ... Are you rootin' for someone from another class?

Nathan and Qiuye stop talking to one another as Junyeol stares at them with a smile that looks everything but reassuring.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Despite not being officially appointed as the Class Representative nor the Delegate, both the public at home and the teachers have praised your problem-solving and leadership skills, as well as your vocals.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Your rank rose by 10 since the pre-vote, so keep up the good work and you'll be able to secure yourself a spot in the Top 7. Good luck!

Yunzhi moves to Yew's right, waiting for Junyeol's instructions.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― There are still quite a few ranks left for the TWIT performers, but I wonder if there's actually any other survivor among you?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEOK IJUN ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― Can you imagine what would happen if there's none? All of us in Top 7?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN JUNKYU ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― Now, isn't that too irrealistic? [chuckles] That would be great, though...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― There is, indeed, another survivor right after Yunzhi at Rank 15.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KOBAYASHI MIREI ꜜ they/she（CLASS ONE） ― Oh?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MIZUTANI MOE ꜜ she/xe（CLASS ONE） ― That's crazy... Let's hope it's one of ours!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― This student's class is...

Junyeol allows himself a break way longer than necessary, in real Mnet survival show fashion.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Class One!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SEO JUNYEOL ꜜ he/him（HOST） ― Although the benefit points definitely helped increase the gap in the ranking between this student and the ones ranked lower, this student would've survived at the same rank even without those.

Junyeol stares at the camera in silence with a neutral expression, waiting for a very long time before finally announcing the position.

He might as well compete with Yeo Jingoo for the Slowest Ranking Announcer Award, if only it existed.

FEVEN'S CORNER !!

... And at 4:00 AM, less than three days before the scheduled upload, I finally finished writing this chapter! A bit longer than the previous one in order to fit as many ranks as I could without making this too heavy.

In the next part, we'll see the final survivors as well as Top 7 and Rank 27; after that, in the last part, there's a little surprise...! I wonder what that could be? I have yet to finish the extras for the previous episodes, too... Those will come at a later date even if I have already finished planning them, since formatting and concretizing the ideas is the hard part as of now. But I promise they're indeed in the works! I won't forget them like I did during Seiyuu Academy 1... Oops...

The results breakdown will be available on the Discord server after all ranks have been announced.
