Emotionally stable, but continuing to go crazy

Zhao Pengyu felt mixed emotions as he listened to Wang Lexuan's criticism.

He admitted that his performance was not outstanding, but he was unwilling to accept such harsh evaluation from his mentor.

Although he was full of dissatisfaction in his heart, Zhao Pengyu wisely chose to remain silent.

He knew that talking back to his mentor now would only make the situation worse.

So he lowered his head, stopped talking, and let the criticism echo in his ears.

Wang Lexuan's disappointment was beyond words. He had placed high hopes on this team, but the reality disappointed him.

He pointed out bluntly: "Bad is bad, there is no excuse! Your performance shows that you haven't spent enough time in the practice room."

"The theme song has been recorded. If you still perform like this before the next acceptance, you will be eliminated!" Wang Lexuan's words made everyone present feel pressured.

At this time, Jiang Xue also spoke up. She frowned and asked, "Who is the captain of your group?" Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and answered, "It's me, teacher."

Jiang Xue's expression became more serious. She asked, "Have you counted the practice time of your group?"

Liu Ming was speechless for a moment and stammered, unable to answer.

Jiang Xue was obviously very dissatisfied with their performance. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then turned to Group B.

"Where is the leader of Group B?" she asked. The leader of Group B immediately raised his hand and replied, "Here, teacher."

Jiang Xue asked the same question again: "How long does your group practice?"

The leader of Group B answered fluently: "Our group's team practice time is 84 hours, and the individual practice time is different for each person. The longest is 36 hours and the shortest is 28 hours."

Jiang Xue nodded in appreciation. Then she turned to Liu Ming and said sternly, "Liu Ming, did you hear that? Are you a competent captain?"

Liu Ming's face flushed and he apologized awkwardly: "I'm sorry..."

Jiang Xue said mercilessly: "You are not sorry to me, but to your teammates." Her words made Liu Ming even more ashamed.

Jiang Xue then continued, "Your group could have performed better, but if there is still no improvement within two days, I suggest that you replace your C position and captain. There are still four days until the next inspection, so you can do whatever you want."

Wei Zhe'an and his teammates faced merciless criticism from their mentors, and the guilt, embarrassment and self-blame in their hearts surged like a tide.

They were clearly aware that their recent slackness in practice had directly led to their inadequate performance on stage this time.

The mentor's words were like a sharp knife, cutting through their previous illusion of blind self-confidence and making them face the huge gap between themselves and the perfect stage.

Originally, the members of Group A were full of confidence. They believed that with an outstanding player like Wei Zhe'an in charge, it would be enough for them to gain an advantage in the team competition.

However, the performance of Group B was like a mirror, allowing them to see what true teamwork and mutual complementation are. In contrast, their current state is fragmented, like a pile of loose sand, lacking cohesion and centripetal force.

After the acceptance, the instructors left the site directly and went upstairs to continue the acceptance of other groups.

The members of Group A and Group B who stayed where they were looked at each other in bewilderment, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Except for Wei Zhe'an, every member of Group A felt ashamed. They were secretly annoyed and just wanted to escape from this suffocating place as soon as possible.

The players in Group B might have been a little dissatisfied with what Zhao Pengyu had just said, so they did not stand with Group A. Instead, they quickly adjusted their mindset and started their own team practice.

They are busy and orderly in the practice room, as if racing against time.

In contrast, the atmosphere in Group A seemed very solemn.

Everyone was immersed in their own thoughts and no one was willing to break the silent deadlock.

Wei Zhe'an looked around at his teammates and finally fixed his eyes on captain Liu Ming.

At this critical moment, as the captain, Liu Ming should stand up to cheer for the team and organize everyone to start practicing.

But he remained silent, with his eyes downcast, and showed no intention of speaking.

Seeing this, Wei Zhe'an took a deep breath and took the initiative to step forward to break the deadlock.

He turned to face his teammates and said in a firm and powerful voice, "We can't go on like this. We need to have a small meeting before practice starts."

After hearing what Wei Zhe'an said, his teammates nodded in agreement. They walked to the corner, sat in a "U" shape, and prepared to start the discussion.

The photography teacher keenly captured this scene and pointed the camera at them again.

Wei Zhe'an didn't care about the existence of the camera, his mind was completely focused on the team's issues.

He expressed his thoughts directly: "What the instructor said just now is very right. Our poor performance is because we don't practice enough. I think back and realized that this week, apart from the open class, we hardly had any extra practice."

He sighed and continued, "I thought we had it all figured out, but I didn't expect it to be this far off."

Liu Ming remained silent and didn't speak. His face looked a little bad, and he was obviously still upset about his previous mistake.

Zhao Pengyu retorted with a dissatisfied look on his face: "It's already very good that you can master these with little practice time. After all, not everyone is as talented as you. Who can be compared with you?"

His tone was sarcastic, and his words were full of jealousy towards Wei Zhe'an and dissatisfaction with being criticized.

Zhao Pengyu still harbored some dissatisfaction with his tutor in his heart. The feeling of being criticized in public made him very uncomfortable.

At this moment, when he heard his teammate Wei Zhe'an also made the same criticism, he felt an unbalanced emotion in his heart.

"It's okay for the instructor to criticize me for my poor performance, but why should I be blamed by you?" Zhao Pengyu couldn't control his temper and spoke harshly.

He believes that everyone is a member of the team and has the responsibility to contribute to the team's performance. Although Wei Zhe'an is extremely talented, he cannot give others the right to make decisions.

This unbalanced emotion made Zhao Pengyu resist Wei Zhe'an's words. He was like a hedgehog, hostile to anyone who approached him.

Fang Zizhen saw this and looked at Zhao Pengyu with a frown: "Zhao Pengyu, who are you angry at? They didn't mention your name directly, so you don't have to jump in so quickly."

Zhao Pengyu did not back down. He retorted: "Why am I angry? Do I not even have the right to speak? You only talk about obvious problems but are unwilling to propose substantive solutions. What's the point?"
