The Unveiling of Secret Queen-Chapter 1120: Nathalie Totally Outclasses Caryn Zachmann
Nathalie Quinlan was exactly that kind of person.
She stepped back to let Tiffany Olsen take the stage, and Tiffany’s solo dance complemented Nirvana’s music perfectly. Together, they created a synergy where the performance felt like 1+1>2...
And that was victory.

Down below, everyone was stunned.
Just moments earlier, Stewin Hoffman had been showering Caryn Zachmann’s performance with praise. Now, he was completely dumbfounded, unable to control his voice: "Damn, that girl from the Chinese Medicine department isn’t even wearing a dance dress, but why do I feel like this is the true embodiment of the phoenix reborn?"
Compared to Tiffany Olsen’s traditional dance.
Caryn Zachmann’s performance now seemed more like a disorganized crowd.
"Heh." Zeus Tanzil crossed his arms over his chest and let out a cold laugh when he heard this, hiding his own shock similar to Stewin’s. But his words betrayed nothing as he casually said, "I’ve told you a long time ago, Nirvana is about the feeling it conveys, not its form. Caryn Zachmann’s performance focused too much on format, and it ended up being neither fish nor fowl..."
Stewin turned his head to look at him, eyes filled with unconcealed awe: "Wow, Mr. Tanzil really knows his stuff! I thought Nathalie’s group was doomed to lose!"
Before this, he had never believed the Chinese Medicine department could win.
When he first heard their performance clashed with the Clinical Medicine department’s.
His immediate thought was that the Chinese Medicine department would get obliterated.
But now... Mr. Tanzil really called it!
Being Tsinghua University’s top student this year wasn’t just for show!
So damn impressive!
A goddess-level junior.
"Of course." Zeus Tanzil smiled smugly but couldn’t hide his overwhelming joy. His gaze fixated completely on the stage, utterly unwilling to look away.
Technically, Tiffany Olsen should be the center of attention onstage.
Nathalie Quinlan occupied only a corner.
But Zeus couldn’t see anyone else but her.
With her on stage, everything else he once considered stunning poetry and romantic elegance felt like sheer nonsense. This—this was love. At least, his current pulsating heartbeat, the exhilarating rush he felt as if he himself were shining on stage, brought a flood of pride within him!
"Remember this in the future: status means nothing. It’s skill that counts."
Zeus Tanzil slightly tilted his chin upward, full of pride: "Someone as amateurish as Caryn Zachmann can’t even measure up to a passerby!"
Lighten Chaser?
Tch!
Stewin nodded vigorously in agreement, mumbling something.
Zayn Fisher, standing nearby, had an ominous expression as dark as storm clouds. His gaze locked onto the girl on stage as if he were seeing a ghost.
Nathalie Quinlan just crushed Caryn Zachmann?

Each program in the school celebration lasted about 5-6 minutes.
Caryn Zachmann’s group had used up six minutes.
Nathalie Quinlan’s team had adapted their music, reducing it to five.
The dance ended.
Tiffany Olsen spun gracefully one last time and dropped to a sitting position on the floor, completing her final dance move, breathing heavily.
But she had danced her heart out.
Nathalie’s music had seemingly injected her with an invisible energy, making her forget about the audience below the stage entirely and letting her get lost in her own flow.
Spinning.
Leaping.
Arching her back and flicking her sleeves.
That kind of fully immersed, carefree state – it felt just too good.
It wasn’t until the thunderous applause broke out from the audience below that Tiffany finally snapped out of her trance-like state, blinking in slight confusion as she looked down.
Only when Nathalie pulled her up, leading her to bow to the audience and then supporting her as they walked off stage... did Tiffany finally return to her senses. Listening to the applause roaring from the front of the venue that still hadn’t ceased, she asked excitedly, "Nathalie, do you think we can win first place?"
Before the performance, she’d just wanted to avoid humiliation.
Now, she fully believed they could take the top spot!
Backstage, the rest of the Chinese Medicine group was there as well.
Ezra Hoffman quietly handed two bottles of water to them.
