Chapter 21: Comprehension towards the broadcast (3)

".....Uh, hm. Those were some unconventional words."

Marco whispered in a low voice. What Marco said was what all the other participants agreed with. Because saying that Kaya was going to win was the same as saying that all the others were going to get disqualified.

Jo Minjoon let out a sigh. He felt as if he had just said something he shouldn't, and he thought that if there was any need to insert a scene like that. However he could also understand. Making that kind of genius more popular in that way, in the perspective of the viewers, it was funnier and more serious.

Probably, Martin didn't even take into account that what Jo Minjoon had just said, could bother the other participants that watched the broadcast. No, there was a high probability that he couldn't think about it.

Either way, there was no point in discuss it, now that the situation turned out like this. The really important thing was the stares directed at him. Not everyone was looking at him but, most of them that had a light attitude, sent not too amiable gazes.

He felt sour. Jo Minjoon averted his sight to not make eye contact with anyone. But from all of the places he could look, he had to look at Kaya. She was glaring at him as if she didn't like him. Jo Minjoon felt all the more depressed. If he had a sin, it was just that he praised her, but for even her to be like that...

But he wasn't in a situation where he could question that. With Jo Minjoon's sentence, the first episode ended. It was an ending that showed Kaya's genius skills, but in the hall, only a quiet atmosphere remained.

'Am I going to get bullied?'

For a foreigner to say that early on, there was no way they would view him favorably. At least Marco, who was next to him, wouldn't hate him but......

The participants that were gathered in the hall started to get up and leave the place. And Jo Minjoon could hear some discontent voices from those who had left. Jo Minjoon was letting a sigh when someone got in front of him. Jo Minjoon lifted his head. He was handsome and had noble blond hair. It was Anderson. He said with a displeased voice.

"I'm curious. If you have the skills to judge all of us."

As Jo Minjoon couldn't reply anything back and was just looking at him, Anderson whispered to Jo Minjoon's ear.

"I'm begging you, but please don't make something trashy. Because I'm going to get angry."

After saying that, Anderson left. Marco didn't know what to do and just patted Jo Minjoon's shoulders.

"Don, don't mind. They will soon forget it."
"I wonder. I don't think I'm going to."

The one who replied to Marco wasn't Jo Minjoon. It was Kaya. She was glaring at Jo Minjoon with her displeased face. Kaya opened her mouth.

"What are you?"
"......What do you mean? I'm a participant."
"No, I'm not talking about that. Why are you suddenly using another's name and claiming that I'll win? Because of you only I got bad mouthed."

It was understandable for her to say that. They all admitted Kaya's ability, but they didn't publicize it. However, Jo Minjoon's interview became that switch. The winner candidate that possesses frightening abilities, Kaya Lotus. That concept became established in just a moment.

Kaya couldn't help but feel bothered. It wasn't even her mistake while talking, but she became like that with another's interview. Jo Minjoon, usually treated her favorably, but that was that and this was this. Facing Kaya's ferocious glare, Jo Minjoon opened his mouth.
