Chapter 419 Alice: My Timfield family would never judge a book by its cover.
The director quickly discussed it with Alice and said that they were indeed not professional in this area, but that they would invite a professional commentator to explain it in the later episodes.
Then a hint of distress appeared on his face as he said, "Besides that, there's another favor I'd like to ask. Our program's sponsor would like to meet you. She has some reservations about using the program to promote your resort... so... she would also like you to introduce yourself to her."
"No problem, director, could you please introduce me..."
Before Alice could finish speaking, a familiar voice rang out from beside her.
"Oh dear, I thought the director was going to make a movie about a god-devil surfing master. Hmm, it turns out it's just my classmate at St. Freya Academy, Miss Alice."
“Uh? You are…” Alice tried hard to figure out who the other person was.
"I'm Jacqueline from Class A!! What? You don't recognize me just because I changed my hairstyle?"
"Of course not, we at Timfelfield would never judge a book by its cover... Hey? Jacqueline?? Where's your signature hairstyle?!"
"What do you mean you can't do it?! You clearly only remember my hairstyle!"
"Oh, so you two know each other. Then I won't bother with any further introductions," the director said with a sigh of relief.
Bell asked, "Alice, is this your classmate?"
"Hello, Jacqueline, president of the St. Freya Academy Sorority."
Alice introduced her to Jacqueline: “This is my friend, Bell, who is also one of the short-term operators of the resort.”
"I almost forgot, I heard you're at the Elite Resort now. If I ever have the chance, I can bring my girlfriends to support your business..."
"Thanks……"
"Just kidding. If it weren't for my family's company needing to sponsor this beach program, I wouldn't be interested in this half-dead resort."
"Heh, our resort doesn't intend to open up to rude guys either," Yuzu chuckled.
"Excuse me, who is this friend who smells like animals...?"
Before Yuzu could answer, Jacqueline continued, "Never mind, I'm not that concerned... Just do your best, Timfield. I'm really looking forward to your performance, it should be better than your performance at the New Year's Eve party back then... I have to go to the city for yoga training, so I won't stay here in the middle of nowhere with you guys. Remember to send me a copy after the director finishes filming, it's a rare opportunity to meet old classmates during the holidays, and I want to share it with everyone at school."
“Yes, Miss Jacqueline.”
"Ugh! I'm so angry!!! Alice, give it your all. Show her what we're made of!!"
Compared to Rin's angry outburst, Kiana, who had been watching from the beginning, seemed quite relaxed. She first chuckled, startling the others present, and then apologized for Rin's complaints.
"I'm sorry, I didn't say anything because I wasn't really appropriate for the occasion."
"It's okay, what I'm more concerned about is why Kiana is laughing?"
"Because I was laughing at Jacqueline."
"Her? What's so funny about her? Don't you think she's annoying?"
"Haha, there are plenty of young ladies with her personality at St. Freya Academy. Do you think St. Freya's reputation as a noble girls' academy is just a simple name?"
"Uh...this..."
You don't really think so, do you?
"Ha ha……"
"Never mind, it's probably my fault, Lucy's fault, and Alice's fault that you thought all the young ladies inside were so approachable."
Kiana scratched her head and continued, "Actually, people with personalities like Jacqueline are the norm. However, because of their upbringing, they can't do anything worse than mocking others. On the contrary, if you talk to them properly and manage to fool them, they might even sell you out and count the money for you."
"No way? So naive?" Yu Ye said.
“Otherwise?” Kiana retorted. “Which of those upper-class families hasn’t been passed down for three or four generations? This kind of basic moral education has long been ingrained in their bones. They’ve been taught how to be a person since they can remember.”
"Hmm, now that I think about it, I feel a little sorry for them."
"There's no need to sympathize with them. If you sympathize with them in this regard, they'll hate you and won't stop until they have a fight with you."
Yu Ye said, "Really...?"
“Really,” Alice said, speaking from experience. “If you weren’t my friend, Yuzu, and you were sympathizing with me about these educational issues in front of me, I probably would have gotten really angry and confronted you.”
Yuye curled her lip dismissively at Alice, her expression saying, "You? You'd be easily fooled by me in a few words."
However, the director quickly realized that although he didn't know why Kiana, who had been missing for a long time, was here, he also knew what he should say and what he shouldn't say.
After apologizing to Alice, the director told everyone that the camera positions had been set up and that Alice and the Herrscher of Knowledge could begin their surfing performance at any time.
Once Alice officially began her surfing performance, Yuzu and Rin cheered her on with all their might. This displeased the Herrscher of Knowledge, forcing them to briefly rest their voices before resuming their cheering for her. To make their cheers even more powerful, they even dragged Masato along to join in.
The Herald of Knowledge found this very helpful, and even his surfing movements became a bit lighter.
"Miss Alice, and this Lady Herrscher of Knowledge! The cameras are all focused on you!! We can do another scene of you rushing into the wave tunnel... and then whooshing out with a whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!"
"Let Guan Lang drive!!" Ling interrupted the director. "I've memorized it all!!"
"Okay...ok!"
Alice took a deep breath and began to whisper the key points while struggling to complete the actions specified by the director.
In stark contrast to the composed demeanor of the Herrscher of Knowledge beside her, Jacqueline had clearly shattered the confidence she had regained just yesterday. Her movements were far more frantic than during her previous solo practice.
When the Herald of Knowledge emerged from the hollow wave, only Alice's surfboard remained by her side.
Yuzu instinctively jumped into the sea to look for Alice. When she got near Alice's surfboard, she saw the Herrscher of Knowledge lifting Alice out of the sea and onto her surfboard, as if she were carrying a small animal by the back of her swimsuit.
Alice, meanwhile, was holding her surfboard while coughing incessantly from choking on water.
