Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 378 - 126: Perfect Completion

"Good, that’s it, the two of you cross swords in one hand, while with the other hand you wave the short cloaks in your hands to distract the enemy, then execute gorgeous swordsmanship, and at the end, strike a pose, slowly sheathing the sword back into its scabbard."

Inside the Tianfang Training Hall, where the ’Hat and Short Sword’ club is stationed, the PV shooting was in full swing. Some club members continued fencing in the background as extras, while the two boys in front of the camera began to swing and weave their swords in a display that was both elegant and forthright, especially in the few frames where they paused mid-action. The straight sword edge, slanted across the center of the frame, dominated the view, and the wisps of smoke rising from the blade delivered a powerful impact.

In the finale, one member used his short cloak to blind his opponent, then thrust his sword through the cloak, which was split in two by the sharp wind of the sword, while his opponent was declared defeated by a stab near the neck, a space away from the flesh. The swordsman then gracefully spun the blade and slid it back into the scabbard.

"Good! Fantastic, I can already imagine the scene of girls watching this and screaming in excitement~" Li Xun applauded and congratulated from the sidelines.

Afterward, the rest of the club members gathered around to watch the footage, buzzing with discussion.

"The filming is indeed great, this is definitely going to make Xiao Yicheng famous outside the school."

"Damn it, if only my skin were a bit whiter, I’d surely be handsomer than him!"

"How did I not know about such a wonderful opportunity beforehand, it would have been so much better if they had chosen me."

"Jealous, next time we spar I’ll have to hit his face hard with the flat of the blade."

In the midst of the lively chatter, the first short film about the ’Indigo Sword Cloak’ was finished. Li Xun and his team then moved on to the ’Tikos Botanical Research Club’, where this time they were filming the short for the ’Purple Aura Fragrant Wind’. The protagonist was the club president, Mavis, who had a mature figure, and all the club members, including herself, dressed in the ’Purple Aura Fragrant Wind’ style today. They displayed vignettes from their life in research, while the camera lingered on the three-color gold flower emblem on Mavis’s collar, signifying that although she hadn’t graduated yet, she was already a High Rank certified professional botanist.

Compared to the short film of the Indigo Sword Cloak, the second one was a bit more peaceful, but it showcased the scientific research strengths of Edith Academy more, with the instruments and academic abilities being the focus. Those in the know would see what they’re paying attention to.

"Next, it’s ’Twilight Melody’, and it’s finally our adorable Little Tilan’s turn," Li Xun said, looking forward to the young girl in front of him with clasped hands.

"Alright, I got it, you don’t have to say it every time," said the girl, turning her face away. Today, she was dressed in the ’Twilight Melody’ ensemble, with the tailor-made outfit accentuating her figure and outlining the slightly unripe charm of a young girl. The slightly wide sleeves revealed her fair wrists, while dark gray tights peeked out from beneath the checkered skirt.

"Then, let’s start shooting."

As the click of the camera sounded, what appeared in the frame was the sunlit interior floor.

The dark floor bore the mottled light and shadows divided by vertical slats, particles of dust floated in the air, and then a slight sound of a door opening was heard, after which a pair of perfectly proportioned, daydream-inducing legs stepped into frame.

Once the girl’s feet were set, the camera tilted up to show her front at a diagonal angle. She gently placed the violin on her shoulder, then, with the bow moving through the light and dust, a crystal clear piece of music began to resonate within the tower.

The music continued, the girl’s long hair and dress rustled with her movements, her closed eyes and face reflected in the light, her hair glinting with golden reflections, ethereal and beautiful.

Then, the camera slowly pulled away, moving outside to the tower’s windows. The sun shone through the tower’s vertical slats, splitting the interior into a world of interlacing light and darkness. As the camera shifted, the mix of light and shadow danced over the girl’s body, the music approached its climax, and her golden hair swirled in the light and dust until the music finally stopped.

The camera then returned to the inside, beneath the girl’s feet, as she cast a large silhouette against the sunset-lit background. At this moment, the girl set down the violin and likewise looked up as the sunlight poured through the lattice behind her, revealing inscriptions of era titles and epochal dates, along with key historical events written, their letters shimmering with gold leaf highlights, slowly revealing themselves.

’Song of Dusk, Twilight Resonance.’

These ancient and elegant words slowly surfaced on the screen, followed by a freeze-frame.

"That wraps up the shoot," Li Xun announced, stroking his chin as he examined the film and glanced over at the girl sitting in the chair beside him.

"It feels different from what I expected, but the effect is indeed very good." She had intended to highlight the style of clothing by utilizing the girl’s unique charm and appearance, but after shooting, it felt as though the attention of the film was largely drawn to its cultural ambiance, inadvertently causing viewers to overlook the girl playing the violin.

Why can she still lower her presence, is this some kind of peculiar Talent?" Li Xu muttered to himself in his mind.

"The shoot went really well," the other club members crowded around, having just watched the video.

"Tilan’s performance was perfectly in line with the requirements, and she didn’t steal the spotlight from the main theme," Ruby praised; not all performances need to focus on showcasing individual charm—the service to the theme is what’s more important.

"From this angle, Tilan’s leg shape is really good, not a bit of excess fat," someone focused on a different aspect.

"Cough... don’t stare at those places," the girl couldn’t help but stand up from her chair.

"Haha, Tilan is shy," laughter and the sound of chasing soon filled the activity room.

After completing the first three styles, the next one was ’Patrolling the Ghostly Night.’ Since this short piece was set at night, it was scheduled to follow ’Twilight Melody.’

In the video, twelve figures dressed in black robes sat indoors with moonlight spilling down, they gathered around a giant stone table that resembled a clock face, and then, one by one, elements like the Crystal Ball, skeleton ornaments, wilted blue roses in a corner, scattered Divination Cards on the table, and so on, appeared, with no sound in the scene, one could tell that these members were using various rituals and methods to solve ancient puzzles, encountering spirits in old alleys, and eventually uncovering rust-corroded ancient books from some relic.

At the end of the scene, the member who had restored the ancient book placed it on a high shelf, then slowly removed the pitch-black cloak that had shrouded her figure, revealing the frost-colored garment adorned with raven-blue, exuding understated Elegance and mystery.

"This one was also shot very well, click-click, it will surely attract those who like the mystic style, who like to show off their erudition," Li Xu nodded in satisfaction.

"Then, it’s time for our final closing video," she said and looked towards the stage where the unparalleled dancer stood ready in her new outfit, long golden hair adorned with true red ribbons, dressed in a fiery red gradient gown, like a dancing Flame.

The Goldfish Princess half-bent beside the stage, allowing the makeup artist below to draw her eyebrows, her fair and flawless back shimmering under the lights, dazzling to behold, and then she herself picked up a mirror to fill her lips with that captivating red.

Next, the camera moved, and the performance began, amidst the zealous applause of the opera house, she twirled in dance, with a cacophony of voices and a wave of colored lights below.

Then the camera slowly pulled away, the scene gradually becoming hazy until it shifted to the end of the performance.

The Goldfish Princess crossed her hands, bowing on the stage, then golden flowers fell, the curtain slowly closed, and the blackness filled the screen.

Afterwards, the camera re-emerged, showing the protagonist standing up from her bow; her dress had changed from the gorgeous gown to a light pink and fiery red ’Blazing Red Tip.’ Compared to her enchanting stage presence, her off-stage beauty and charm were just as mesmerizing.

’Peach blossoms blooming bright, blazing with brilliance.’

The video’s end featured words of Eastern poetry, continuing to add a hint of cultural atmosphere.

"Clap clap clap—" Applause erupted in the screening room, and everyone stood up, cheering for the perfect conclusion of the shoot.

"Efnie’s dance was really beautiful, indeed there’s a reason why she’s known as the ’Flame Goldfish Princess.’"

"It’s also because her Talent and looks are so great, even the members of the ’Hua Shan Opera’ club don’t mind her representing their performance,"

"After watching, I really want to buy several sets to collect, they seem like a good choice to give to friends too," the members said as they watched the familiar yet stunning figures in the video, feeling as if a treasure had always been by their side, yet they had never noticed before.

"Right, this one should be considered very good, right? I don’t usually pay attention to fashion news, so I don’t know where a promotional short film like this stands."

"Far from just good, it will definitely astound the industry," Li Xu patted the shoulder of the student in front of her, speaking with certainty, her face, watching the screen, radiated a passion and joy she’d never felt before.

Yes, this was the feeling, the indescribable and irrepressible sensation that made this work meaningful indeed.
