Chapter 171
Kali “Look at all these pretty boys and pretty girls gathered here! Let’s kick off with some self–
introductions!”
Upon realizing that Kali was pointing towards Clyde, Helena felt a pang of displeasure. But then she
thought of Astrid soon to be in a pinch and mellowed down her
emotions.
Clyde: “Hi everyone, I’m Clyde. I play Jameson in the movie Mystic Mysteries. We’re nearing the end of
our shoot, so look forward to it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Clyde glanced at Astrid.
Astrid said, “Hello everyone, I’m Astrid, and I play Hedwig in Mystic Mysteries. Thanks for your
support!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAudience: “Astrid!!!
Astrid gave a small smile and waved towards the screaming crowd.
If it weren’t for Elio holding him back, Roman might have jumped onto the chair.
Roman. “Astrid is so beautiful!!!”
Elio glanced at him, “Am I not handsome?”
“You?” Roman turned his head to size up Elio, then shook his finger, “You got a long way to go!”
Elio went speechless.
Naturally, the two casts that came for promotions have to compete in a game segment.
The segment was a quiz involving general knowledge and literature.
Helena had already reviewed the answers beforehand. What’s more, she had given a heads–up to the
assistant director to make sure all the questions for Astrid’s side were tough ones.
When this segment arrived, Clyde started to feel a headache. He whispered to Astrid, “I didn’t study
hard in school. We might lose this round. If we lose, let me take the punishment. You don’t have to.”
The punishment was to drink a concoction. Clyde had tried it in other shows before, and the taste was
a complete nightmare.
Even though there was some friction between him and Astrid, he didn’t want the girl to be punished. It
would make him look like a bad sport.
Astrid didn’t expect Clyde to suddenly become so considerate.
As Helena kept getting the answers right, Astrid calmly said, “Don’t worry, we won’t lose.”
Clyde didn’t respond, but he already lost hope. After all, Astrid was just a high school graduate. She
used to skip classes in high school. How could she possibly beat Helena?
“All ten questions are correct! Helena is indeed our very powerful!!” Israel praised Helena, and then
looked at Astrid and Clyde, “Who’s up?”
Just as Clyde was about to raise his hand, Astrid had already stepped forward, “I will.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Astrid, you’ve got guts. Do you know Helena is a top student?” Kali asked.
Astrid nodded, “Whether she’s a top student or not, I’m not sure. But I know I can beat her.”
The audience felt that Astrid was being overly confident.
Although Helena had made a fool of herself at the last gathering, her image as a top student was well
ingrained in people’s minds. Thus, in the eyes of the audience, the possibility of Astrid beating Helena
was slim to none.
Israel: “Alright, the next question is: Who’s the author of Hamlet? Option one, Poe, option two,
Hemingway, option three…”
Astrid: “You don’t need to say the options, I know the answer is Shakespeare.”
Israel paused for a moment, “That’s correct! Okay, next question.”
Astrid smiled and said, “You don’t need to read all the options, just ask the question. It saves time. You
can also read a bit faster, thank you!”
