Then the two of them looked at each other in the mirror.
"Crane Reflection, it suits you well."
Sterling Norwood said.
Selena Kensington chuckled, "Lynn Rhodes’s design is truly stunning. I was taken aback for quite a while when I first saw it."
It combines The Empire’s traditional culture with modern design elents, creating Selena Kensington’s "Crane Reflection."
Full of ancient charm and rhythm, yet with a strong modern design sense.
Selena Kensington admired it for a while, then asked Sterling Norwood, "Who was that on the phone just now?"
"Your brother."
At this, Selena Kensington raised her eyebrows slightly, "What did he say?"
"Aethelgard dia University’s performance departnt level exams, inviting you to be a judge."
Sterling Norwood lazily rested his head on Selena Kensington’s shoulder as he answered her.
"...Oh?"
Selena Kensington was a bit surprised; she naturally knew about the performance departnt’s level exams at Aethelgard dia University.
It’s been a tradition of the dia university’s performance departnt for many years.
After a sester of acclimatization, freshn undergo a level exam a month into the next sester.
This exam tests students’ foundational skills and adaptability.
It also helps teachers conduct tiered instruction more easily.
Since each student’s understanding and experience vary, level exams were created to reduce teaching disparities.
After this level exam, performance departnt tutors would provide more focused guidance to students.
This is also considered the first major exam for performance students since they entered Aethelgard dia University.
Back then, Vivian Sutton had insisted on cancelling a month’s worth of triad activities with her and Clent Luther to prepare for this exam.
During that month, she and Clent Luther practiced with Vivian Sutton daily and acted as her rehearsal partners.
To maintain her figure, Vivian Sutton even gave up their favorite street food from their university days for that month.
"I got it."
After finishing "Butterfly Fla," she only needed to occasionally oversee post-production work, allowing for more leisure ti.
Moreover, the performance departnt level exam could uncover so promising talents.
Selena Kensington wanted to try this opportunity.
After admiring the dress, Selena Kensington nudged Sterling Norwood, "Alright, you should leave now. I need to change clothes."
"...It’s not like I haven’t seen it before."
Sterling Norwood said nonchalantly.
Selena Kensington shot him a glare in the mirror, then threatened with a squint, "Do you want to leave on your own or wait for to make you?"
"..."
Sterling Norwood was speechless.
He felt that after the last incident, his wife’s beco slightly more aggressive.
Ultimately, Sterling Norwood compromised and left the dressing room.
