Chapter 22：I dont want to lose. (2/2)

I see Jett's mouth twitch upon hearing more blatant flirting from the host. He grits his teeth and tries to stay calm.

Despite the emcee's intention of complimenting me, he only managed to annoy me instead.

What did he say...? JUST a celebrity manager?!

Maybe I should give this guy a piece of my mind later on...

Jett has absolutely nothing to worry about.

Anyone who insults my profession like this will never get in my good graces.

The host clears his throat and gets back on track, ”As a recap, for our first challenge, Team Jett-Ren won that round! They did a fantastic job with their comedy skit.”

”As for this second challenge, the 'Karaoke Battle' winners are unsurprisingly... Team Charles-Therysia!”

”That makes both teams tied with one win each! There are two more challenges left, who will emerge the victors?! Stay tuned after this break!”

* * * * *

We're up first, so Charles and I get ready to wear some diving gear.

I don't want my hair floating all over the place once we're underwater, so I tie it up into an extremely tight bun.

Stretching out the diving cap, I carefully place it over my head and adjust it to a more comfortable fit.

I sigh and look towards the humongous tank with two sharks swimming about.

The sight of them gives me the chills.

It's almost absurd that Big Red Studios went out of their way to rent something like this just for this particular episode. They must be confident that it'll do exceptionally well.

”I've never done anything like this before... it was annoying to put all of this on.” Charles makes a face and pinches a bit of the foamed neoprene and pulls on it.

He lets go, and it loudly thwacks against his skin.

Charles looks at me with a slightly solemn face. ”You think you'd be alright?”

I put on a brave front and show him a smirk. ”Of course. Why wouldn't I be? Just a few minutes inside that cage and it'll probably be over before we know it.”

* * * * *

BAM!

...

BANG!

BAM! BAM!

...

We're inside the tank, and the sharks are attacking the cage mercilessly.

Why the hell did I think this was going to be alright?!

GET ME OUT OF HERE!

My eyes are filled with sheer horror as I watch the sharks go into a frenzy as they continually slam their jaws at the thick steel bars.

Their sharp teeth scrape against the metal.

Like billowing underwater smoke, blood starts to spread chaotically around us.
