The Case Where I, the Manager, Became More Popular After Standing on Stage as a Substitute for an Idol Who Got Injured Just Before the Live Performance

February 1st.

Wearing a freshly ironed suit, I had come to take the entrance exam for Tansen High School.

The entrance exam for Tansen High School was conducted in the form of an audition. You could come alone, or you could come in a group. It didn’t matter.

Although idols were the most common, there were also people like me, who aspired to be managers. There are also music producers, dance choreographers, and many other various professions in the entertainment industry where one could excel.

But… There are so many people…

I looked around and thought to myself.

No wonder it was Japan’s top high school for entertainment.

The area in front of the school gate was bustling with handsome guys and cute girls. Among them, a group of five girls who seemed to be an idol group were chatting while wearing matching outfits.

“The number of applicants this year is seven times higher than last year.”

“It’s because of that mysterious idol ‘X’, right?”

“Well, of course. After seeing such a cool figure, who wouldn’t want to aim for the entertainment industry?”

“Plus, if you’re an idol, you might have a chance to meet ‘X’!”

“Hahaha! You’re thinking too much! But yeah, it’s true. Though I also noticed that most applicants are girls.”

I broke into a cold sweat as I listened to their conversation.

If they were to find out that I was ‘X’, I would no longer be able to work as a manager. Being more famous than the idol I’m assigned to would make me ineligible to be one.

I have to somehow pass the audition based on my skills while keeping my true identity hidden…

I tightened my tie around my neck, determined to do my best.
