Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

Nervousness intensified within Soohyun as she stepped into the room. Behind her was Lee Kwangsoo, and his presence provided her with comfort at this moment.

Keeping on a straight face, she stared at the room before her. There were already three members who were inside the room, and they were seated on top of the chair.

The temperature here was warmer, making her feel discomfort. Nevertheless, due to her disguise, she did not feel all that bad.

Two man stood in front of those members, and walking over to her seat, Soohyun's eyes scanned those two man. Her eyes fell on their badges— AMH and JSJ.

Taking those to be their initials, she tried to read their expression. When their eyes fell on her, she felt the hair on her body rise and found herself being careful; it felt to her as if they were capable of reading her.

Scars were present on both of their faces, making them seem more stern, and comfort spread through Soohyun once they had moved their eyes from her.

Soon enough, the room was filled with all of the members; there were fifteen of them. Among these fifteen, only three would be allowed to join in.

For this, Soohyun purely had to rely on her luck for her abilities were not up to the standard. All of them looked quite confident, intimidating Soohyun further.

'Minnie, you are there, right? Help me when I need it, alright? Don't disappear on me.'

"I won't; I won't. Don't worry. Just be confident on the entire thing, and I will be there to save you when you get yourself into the trouble," Minnie voiced out.

A loud sound was created when the door closed all of a sudden, and looking up, her eyes directly fell on top of the two men.

JSJ walked closer to them and, using his gruff voice, said, "You know the instructions here. This is a research lab, and you will be given couple of tests. Whether or not you cheat or sabotage others doesn't matter; in the end, you have to get past all of the levels of the test. 

What matters is your level of smartness. Idiots aren't appreciated here. So, if you are doubtful about your level of intelligence, leave this room in this very instant. I don't want to see any incompetency."

AMH vocalised, "That's all. Those who fails this test will be completely removed from the organization. Nothing will be able to make you join in. Now, without wasting further time, let's get this all started."

The test was cruel. That was what Soohyun had understood from their words. If there was not any kind of rules against cheating or sabotaging, she had a clue on how bad this could turn out to be.

Nevertheless, talent was not the biggest factor to win at this moment; it was one's survival instinct. Only the most cunning ones will be the winners.

"The selected ones are Jeon Minji, Lee Soohyun, and Lee Hyunjin," AMH announced.

All the fifteen participants stood before AMH and JSJ. The tests were conducted and finished within a day, and the results were currently announced.

As Soohyun had assumed, the entire thing was very much competitive, and the win went to the cunning people.

Hyunjin and her was indeed one of the best people for it. Due to their lack of knowledge, the two of them destroyed others' tests and copied their ways. As the two of them almost worked as a pair, it was not easy for the others' to ruin their project.

The announcement left many shocked. Nevertheless, afraid of the two men before them, no one dared to voice out about their objections regarding this. Regardless of whether or not this was fair, they had to accept this.

"Two from the Yellow Clan got selected this time around. All the eyes will be on the two of you mostly. If you show any type of incompetency, you will be instantly removed. Remember that! Just because you have passed this doesn't mean you are free from worries in the future," JSJ vocalised.

Soohyun and Kwangsoo nodded. Their joy was clearly reflected in their eyes, and Soohyun was relieved.

Although the test was difficult, she had managed to pass it. Nevertheless, the path before them will be way harder than this, and she had to embrace it. This was just the beginning.

"As for those who did not pass, immediately pack up your bag and leave this institute. There is no use for those who are useless at here," AMH stated, "You are merely failures."

His words were rude and brought tears to many eyes. Nonetheless, there was barely anyone who had the courage to refute them.

Following his words, the remaining members bowed at them obediently, and turning their backs, they silently walked out of the room. They were too scared to object to their decision.

Lee Soohyun raised her head and turned it to look at Jeon Minji, the other selected one. Judging from her expression, she could see that Minji was not surprised by the results.

Jeon Minji was someone who was truly competent, and even if this did not have such unfair rules, she would have been placed first. Her level of talent surpassed everyone present today.

"Follow us now. You will be taken to your dormitory, and then, someone will come later on to give you a tour on the entire place.

Remember that regardless of how the entire test went, you are a one family now. No fighting or actions caused due to jealousy would be tolerated. Behave respectfully to one another, and bullying will lead you to being completely removed. Treat everyone as a family regardless of who they are or what their talents are. Loyalty is valued here, so betrayal has really bad consequences. You got that?" JSJ vocalised.

The three of them nodded.

"Good," JSJ said, "All of you will be heavily monitored, and don't feel pressured due to that. Feel free to unleash your creativity."
