So far, the judges haven't commented on the performance. So, she expected him to ask something else.
But to her surprise, he asked. "Didn't expect someone to hit E6. It's difficult for even a professional to hit it. And you did it with such ease. Good job."
*Ding! A judge is impressed by your singing. +10 Credits added to the account.
While a notification rang in her head, Elena bowed, "Gamsahamnida (Thank you)…"
The other judges didn't say anything and kept to themselves. Elena and others high-fived each other with all smiles as they walked down from the stage.
After that, a couple of more performances happened.
By then, it was already lunchtime, and Elena returned to the dorm.
Entering the room, she found her roommates were dispirited and exhausted. Their eyes don't contain hope, and some of them also looked like they cried a lot.
The expression is something that's too familiar for Elena. She was reminded of her former self.
