Chapter 515 Beautiful Monster
[Congratulations! You have completed the mission of eradicating your first sasaeng.]
[What a journey it has been. I will definitely miss it.]
June shook his head as Fu popped up before him.
"Crazy bastard," he muttered, a small smile forming on his lips with the thought of getting a new aspect added to his stats.
[You have collected an aspect: Stage Presence.]

June's eyebrows raised in surprise since he was expecting to start at a lower level. Nonetheless, he was happy that he actually had a satisfactory stage presence already.
June went out of his room and was met with the sight of his teammates.
"You were right!" Akira exclaimed. "Kim Sua has finally been detained."
June smirked as he rested his hand against the couch.
"What did I tell you?" he asked.
Gun chuckled as he nodded.
"Yes. I had my team make the choreography for your guys' song. At first, I was a bit hesitant since the song wasn't to my liking. However, after the improvements, I could gladly say that it's going to be a great song. So, we also vamped up your performance."
"Sweet!" Zeth exclaimed. "Does it involve removing our shirts?"
Gun's eyebrows furrowed as Ren covered Zeth's mouth.
"Don't listen to him, Mentor," Ren said. "He's just in the wrong headspace."
Gun shook his head at the members' antics. It seemed like they were truly comfortable around each other, which was great for their team dynamics.
"Shall we start then?" Gun asked. "Tank will teach you the foundation of the choreography, and I'll be watching for important details."
The members nodded enthusiastically, switching to their professional modes.
Tank started teaching the members the choreography and the formations. He had a relatively easy time since EVE was a bunch of fast learners.
Tank always enjoyed working with EVE because, aside from them being nice, they were also very easy to teach. Moreover, they portrayed their choreography with a lot of artistry, making the teaching session even more satisfying.
As Tank continued teaching the boys, Gun stayed on the side, watching their every move.
Gun pursed his lips and glanced at June, feeling amazed by the idol's transformation.
The aura he had now was so different from the one he had back on the show.
At first, Gun was truly prejudiced against him because of the cat mask he wore. Moreover, it seemed like he didn't have any promising talent—especially in dancing.
Gun wasn't lying when he said he had been monitoring EVE since the day Rising Stars had ended. Even if he was too shy to admit it, he became a fan of the group he was once aloof to.
It was great seeing them transform from mere competitive trainees to competent idols.
However, as Gun continued observing June, he couldn't deny that the idol must have passed the stage of competence.
He was almost...complete.
June effortlessly followed the choreography, and although he was merely looking at himself in the mirror, it already seemed like he was performing in front of a real, live audience.
Gun would have never expected June to improve this much, especially with the state of his talent at the beginning of Rising Stars. Aside from singing, it really did seem like he didn't have any natural-born talent.
However, looking at him now, Gun was baffled.
Because it seemed like he was better at dancing than Gun himself.
"Is this what they call a monster idol?" he muttered.
