I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Miyamoto Sei, who was envying others, suddenly became the target of an attack. Shimada Yurina appeared in front of him like a ghost and grabbed his waist.

"No! Let go! Not there!"

Struggling to escape Shimada Yurina's clutches, Miyamoto Sei took a breath and looked to the side.

He watched as the senior graduate students left, chatting and laughing. As they left, they looked at everyone. Soon, apart from Mika Komatsu, everyone else there was a member of the ninth generation.

The look in his eyes was as if he were waiting to see a joke.

……

In the office, Subaru Hasegawa told Risa Amagai everything he had seen.

"So she secretly encouraged that child to go even after you warned her?"

"I asked Risa Tenbei."

“Yes, she held Yong’an’s hand at the time, which gave Yong’an the courage to finally greet people loudly.” Hasegawa Subaru nodded: “And the atmosphere at the last audition was great for singing, but I don’t know how good his dancing is.”

"Dancing skills? Well, they're barely watchable." Risa Amagai pointed at the screen. Subaru Hasegawa went over to take a look and found that the screen showed the graduate students training in the dance studio.

In the scene, Miyamoto Sei's body appears very stiff. Although he is trying very hard to strike the pose taught by a teacher, he somehow gives off a feeling of being as strong as steel.

"This...this won't do..." Subaru Hasegawa couldn't help but rub his forehead: "Maybe she's better suited to a pure singer route."

"Maybe. Even if you dance badly now, you're very serious, aren't you? It's more important to let fans see this seriousness and effort. If you just like to watch dancers with good technique, then you can just watch those famous dancers."

As Lisa Tenber spoke, she lightly tapped her fingers on the keyboard.

"Let's set the ninth performance for the 2nd of next month. It'll give us a month to adjust and see if they can stand out."

“Then let’s keep Mika Komatsu as Center. After all, she’s the strongest and has a lot of experience as Center,” Subaru Hasegawa said.

Risa Tenbei didn't say anything, she just kept looking at the screen.

"Then I'll be leaving now, teacher." Subaru Hasegawa seemed to be used to Risa Amagai's behavior, and left without waiting for her reply.

After the other person left, Tenbei Risa sighed.

"The so-called Center is not just about being experienced and strong... Compared to these, another condition, or rather a characteristic, is more important. That person does have this characteristic. Miyamoto Nana, let me see how you perform next."

……

"Alright, break's over, let's begin training!"

Mika Komatsu, with her blonde twin ponytails, clapped her hands, making everyone who was still resting stand up. With a smile on her face and holding a small prop that served as a microphone, she raised her finger to the crowd.

"Keep training hard, don't slack off!"

That adorable look was just like he was talking to his fans.

"Yes, Komatsu-senpai!"

With a few scattered shouts, the group started dancing again. Even though ten minutes was not enough for their sore muscles to fully recover, they still tried their best to exercise.

Then, everyone was met with a situation that felt like hell.

The song was repeated over and over, and the movements were also repeated over and over. The muscle soreness began to disappear, and there was even a doubt that my body was still my own body.

Because Miyamoto felt that he had no feeling for his own body, as if his body no longer existed.

Another hour passed. Including the previous training time, it was a total of three hours of training, with only a ten-minute break in between.

Finally, everyone collapsed in the dance studio, including Miyamoto Sei and the others.

The music was stopped, not because Mika Komatsu took pity on her, but because it was mealtime.

On weekdays, the theater usually provides lunch.

Lunch consisted of rice and vegetables, with not much meat, but enough vegetables. In addition to these, there were also side dishes like pickled cucumbers.

If you want to get enough protein, you'll have to find your own way.

He put the rice into his mouth and tried his best to chew. The intense exercise left Miyamoto feeling like he didn't even have the strength to move his mouth.

Everyone eats in roughly the same way.

"I thought I was going to die..." Shimada Yurina complained softly, "If the PE teacher trains like this, the parents will definitely complain to the board of directors."

"Yurina-chan, do your best!"

With her fist clenched in front of her chest, Miyu Nagasu cheered for Yurina Shimada once again, which made her the target of Yurina Shimada's attack once more.

"Mmm, Miyu-chan is just so cute!"

"Ugh! No, I feel sticky!"

Ms. Shimada, you're absolutely right, Miyu is just so adorable! Looking at her gives me the motivation to eat again!

Miyamoto silently gave Shimada Yurina a thumbs up, brought the rice bowl to her mouth, and then started to eat faster.

After finishing her meal, she went to the restroom, washed her hands briefly, dried herself off, and adjusted her clothing slightly. Only then did Miyamoto Sei feel somewhat recovered.

The rest time after dinner was quite long, so there was no need to do anything strenuous to avoid any physical accidents. He walked backstage, pondering whether he should go for a walk.

"How many people do you think Komatsu will drive away this time?"

Suddenly, a sound coming from behind the door caught his attention.

Miyamoto stopped immediately. This was the dressing room used by graduate students. Since the door was not completely closed, the sounds inside could still be heard clearly.

"The eighth batch was completely wiped out; not a single one could stay. After all, the training volume was so terrifying that even we newcomers couldn't handle it, and in the end, we all resigned."

"Although it's pitiful, it's also good. As long as the number of people is controlled, we won't be in danger of being laid off."

"That's right, and it makes things much easier for us."

The eighth generation was wiped out?

Did they all resign because of Mika Komatsu's training?

Miyamoto looked towards the dance studio not far away, and for a moment he was quite confused about what Komatsu Mika was doing.

Why subject newcomers to such horrific training? If any of these people are graduate students from the same cohort as or even earlier than Mika Komatsu, then it indicates that the amount of training they are currently undergoing is highly abnormal.

Is it the same as what those people just said?

In order to control the number of students, as long as the number is insufficient, these graduate students will not face the risk of being dismissed.

Should we talk to Tembelisa?

No, that woman is so shrewd, how could she not know what happened here? So, her silence means she tacitly approved of this behavior?

She must have been watching the new recruits' performance all along, perhaps waiting for something, wanting to see if there was anything she wanted to see among this ninth generation of recruits.

But no matter what, the most important thing now is to survive. It's not just me trying to survive, but all those guys do too. After all, we've been through this together, and I don't want them to end up leaving like this...

Miyamoto thought for a moment, then slowly let out a breath and took a step forward.

In the shadows, a woman leaned against the corner, quietly watching him.

If Miyamoto turned around and saw that woman, he would definitely recognize her immediately.

Team S's Center, Hisashi Ogiko!

SKR girl group is an absolute ace!

"Ogiko-chan, you're here!"

A cheerful voice rang out, and a beautiful figure suddenly hugged Higashi Hisagiko from behind. The girl, with her short hair, looked very spirited. She reached her hands towards Higashi Hisagiko's chest, but Higashi Hisagiko grabbed her hands.

"What's wrong with letting me touch it?"

As she said this, she looked into the distance.

"Are you looking at that newcomer? What's wrong with her?"

"It's nothing, let's go see how this batch of graduate students is doing." Higashi Hisashi Ogiko said, breaking free from the other person's embrace.

"Oh? You're so interested? Well then I'll go check it out too. After all, you're from Team S, and I'm from Team K. I won't let you have any good new talent!"

“I didn’t intend to steal it either, Sakurako,” Higashikuze Ogiko said, taking the lead towards the dance studio.

This girl, known as Sakurako, is Naoki Sakurako, the center of Team K and a top idol.

The centers of the two top teams walked together to where the newcomers were.

Chapter Eight: This is for the Dream

Inside the dance studio, the ninth cohort members were eating and chatting together.

It was more of a complaint than an exchange.

"This is so tiring..."

"You must be this tired every day, right?"

"Ahhh, the senior is so strict. He always has a smile on his face, but he makes us train constantly. I don't know when we'll be considered qualified."

On the other side, Mika Komatsu was also eating, but she was listening to some music while eating because Miyamoto noticed that Mika Komatsu was wearing an earpiece.

It's clear that she's focusing more on listening than eating.

Are you listening to a program?
