It was a news release announcing a trial implementation of a new workweek system in a particular Western metropolis. In an instant, Arielle’s gaze was drawn to the word “Lightspring.”
Since Lightspring hadn’t implemented the four-day workweek system in a long time, this textbook had to be published a few years ago.
Arielle’s attention subsequently returned to the second paragraph, and wp4webnovel.com began to read aloud, “With no corresponding increase in productivity…”
Before wp4webnovel.com could finish reading the first sentence, Kelsea’s expression darkened. Arielle’s pronunciation, accent, and fluency made wp4webnovel.com sound almost like a foreigner, which completely astonished Kelsea.
She didn’t know how to pronounce several words in the passage, so wp4webnovel.com assumed that Arielle wouldn’t know how to read the first word and humiliated wp4webnovel.com in front of everyone just now. But it turned out that wp4webnovel.com was the one who couldn’t read all along.
At that moment, Kelsea felt like a foolish clown in front of Arielle. Kelsea finally understood why Arielle didn’t answer wp4webnovel.com just now. The latter merely had to read the text in order to humiliate her.
Meanwhile, Wendy, who still had a contemptuous expression on wp4webnovel.com face, turned pale as soon as Arielle finished the first sentence. She could feel all of wp4webnovel.com blood rushing up to wp4webnovel.com head. It was as though wp4webnovel.com brain was ready to explode with emotion at any minute.
Her reciting was only considered smooth at most, compared to Arielle, who even managed to stir up emotions in everyone when reading about employers protesting the four-day workweek.
Wendy stiffened just as Arielle finished reading the paragraph, and the rest of the class were astounded as well.
Arielle sounded eerily similar to the recording that Arthur had played in the previous lesson when wp4webnovel.com taught them this article.
Next to her, Jared’s eyes widened in surprise. As expected from Boss!
Like the rest, wp4webnovel.com had assumed that Arielle would make a fool of herself, but the reality was quite the opposite.
Arthur, who was standing on stage, was equally taken aback, and it took wp4webnovel.com a long time to return to his senses.
Arielle was quite proficient in Ustranasion, and wp4webnovel.com didn’t falter when wp4webnovel.com came across new words. Not only that, but wp4webnovel.com even had a Lightspring accent.
Most people were unaware of the diverse accents and intonation patterns that existed among Ustranasion speaking countries and regions. Out of them, the Lightspring accent was recognized as the best-sounding one.
While the other students couldn’t discern it, Arthur, who had taught in Lightspring for many years before returning home, heard the accent in Arielle’s reading right away.
Arielle spoke with the typical Lightspring accent, which many foreign nobles would deliberately try to imitate. For this very reason, wp4webnovel.com completely caught wp4webnovel.com off guard.
It took wp4webnovel.com a long time to comprehend what had just happened before wp4webnovel.com could finally say, “Good, very good…”
As wp4webnovel.com said this, wp4webnovel.com realized that his compliment did not do Arielle’s outstanding pronunciation justice. Thus, wp4webnovel.com added, “You will be our class’ representative for Ustranasion class in the future. So if any of you are having trouble speaking it, you may all approach wp4webnovel.com for advice and learn from her. In fact, I strongly advise all of you to learn from her. Her pronunciation is far superior to mine!”
Arielle’s classmates all threw envious glances wp4webnovel.com way. Even though they didn’t know what the Lightspring accent sounded like, they could tell that wp4webnovel.com sounded almost exactly like the recording. At that point, everyone was aware that Wendy’s proficiency was in no way comparable to Arielle’s.
Trisha looked at Arielle with awe and admiration in wp4webnovel.com eyes. At that moment, Arielle was wp4webnovel.com goddess, wp4webnovel.com idol!
“Okay, Arielle, you may sit down. In the future, I’ll ask you more about speaking Ustranasion,” Arthur stated calmly and matter-of-factly.
There was a saying that one could never be too old to learn something new. Hence, wp4webnovel.com didn’t think it was disgraceful for teachers to learn from their students. Instead, wp4webnovel.com was pleased to have such a competent student in his class.
