Chuunibyou Prodigy Dominates the Comic Auditions

High school student Qi Jing was tricked by the System into saving the world. Being a chuuni, he agreed without a second thought.

Then he was tricked into joining a talent show, where all the contestants were big shots from different manga worlds.

He wasn't scared, though, because his title was:

Qi the Supernatural, Paranormal, Psychic Whale.

When he first appeared, he struck a bold pose and declared,

"From today on, I'm the strongest and bravest man here."

Unsurprisingly, everyone looked down on the scruffy, red-haired delinquent, whose clothes hung loose and who didn't look like he could fight.

"Where did this delinquent come from? His chuuni phase is terminal. There's no saving him."

"Go home, kid."

"Whoever gets paired with him is going to regret it."

Qi Jing scoffed. Just wait until they saw what he could do. They'd be on their knees, crying.

During the show, they would travel to various manga worlds.

First stop: a shoujo manga world.

Qualification requirement: No dating.

Qi Jing: Oh no, my teammate is a hopeless romantic. It's fine. Leave it to me.

But he still underestimated the power of shoujo manga. Whenever he interacted with a girl, either a pink filter appeared or fateful background music started playing. His heart rate kept inexplicably soaring. It was terrifying.

Unexpectedly, the hopeless romantic made it through safely, while his own heart rate went through the roof.

Second stop: a recommended mystery manga world.

Qualification requirement: Find the murderer.

Good news: His teammate was a second-grade elementary school student who called himself a detective.

Bad news: It turned out he was a terrible detective.

Qi Jing patted his chest. No problem. He had psychic powers and could see ghosts and summon spirits. If they wanted to know who the murderer was, they could just ask the victim.

A little whale appeared on his forehead. A huge whale-shaped totem, glowing brilliant blue, surged wildly across his body.

The leaping whale swam from his chest up to his neck, then burst from the top of his head and let out a long cry in the sky.

Everyone stared in astonishment.

It wasn't long before word spread that Qi Jing was a supernatural psychic.

"Did you know? That chuuni is actually psychic. He could take down everyone here in an instant."

"My god, I failed to recognize a true master. He's so strong! Can I be on his team in the next world?"

"Boss Qi, take me with you!"

From being dismissed by everyone to being admired by everyone.

Qi Jing crossed his arms and smirked. "I told you, but you didn't believe me. Now it's too late."

[New story coming soon: The Doll Shop Owner's Orders Are Booming [ABO]. Add it to your collection if you're interested.]

Yu Tingyue, a male Omega, liked collecting dolls and figures. One day, on a whim, he posted a picture of his original character on social media.

When he woke up, he had more than 99 unread messages.

[Um... I have a friend who wants to ask something.]

[Teacher, your work is incredible. Speaking of incredible...]

[Do you take custom orders?]

Yu Tingyue pinned a reply:

[It's a life-size doll.]

[Boss, you can customize it. Any size, any build you want.]

By the end of the morning, orders were pouring in. As he checked the numbers, one comment made him panic.

[Wait, doesn't this BJD look exactly like our school's heartthrob, Chi Zhiheng?]

To gain followers, Yu Tingyue racked his brains every day for captions. While he was stumped, a private message caught his eye.

[A solo act can't beat a duo. Build a couple and you'll get more traffic.]

The sender even provided a plot:

[The real young master Omega grew up suffering outside the family. He's gentle on the surface but secretly scheming. He makes the pampered fake young master Alpha fall hopelessly in love with him, then dumps him cruelly.]

The video went viral.

After that, the two struck a deal: one paid, the other came up with ideas.

As they exchanged messages back and forth, Yu Tingyue came to think of him as a friend he could talk to about anything.

One day, the script he sent made Yu Tingyue's face change.

[Childhood friends / school setting: An Omega hides his identity and pretends to be a Beta. When he feels unwell, his Alpha childhood friend takes him to the hospital. The doctor says it will be dangerous unless he's fully marked.]

Before blocking him, Yu Tingyue saw the final message he had sent.

[Tingyue, it's Zhiheng.]

After they got together, Chi Zhiheng finally saw the life-size doll.

Looking at its identical face, he couldn't help asking, "Are they all exactly the same?"

Yu Tingyue avoided his gaze. "They're all the same. You can check if you don't believe me."

Chi Zhiheng: "No need. But there's one thing I want to know. Do you sleep hugging the doll?"

Yu Tingyue's face turned red. "No, absolutely not."

Chi Zhiheng knew he blushed whenever he lied. "It's been so many years. How do you know it's still the same as before? I think you'd better check carefully."
