Ruri wiped her face with a small towel as she walked away from the sink in the bathroom. As she walked through the halls, she heard an announcement being made over the intercoms directing everyone towards the LCD screen in the waiting room. So, she immediately made her way back through the hall and opened the door. It seemed a number of the applicants had already seen the results as there were applicants with a myriad of reactions all over the waiting area.
As she walked up towards the LCD monitor, she could hear her heart thumping. It was as if the nerves had been hammering away at her body. So, scanned the monitor while repeatedly fluffing her hair and eventually found the magic number, 616, on that list. At that single moment, her heart skipped a beat, then beat super fast, and then began to slow down.
As tears of joy began to fall from her eyes, Ruri simply stared at the screen. Noticing her tears, she immediately wiped them away with her sleeves and gave a small smile that gave both an aura of warmth and confidence and she made her way back to the stage area. As she did, she displayed that smile to the girls who were looking at her with expressions varying from scorn and jealousy to sadness. With that, she turned her head forward and made her way onto the stage.
