Chapter 53: A Lively Major
"Name?"
The Demonesses had always been very time-conscious, so the candidates' wait didn't last long. When the scheduled enrollment time arrived, all the staff at the admissions office were already in place, ready to receive the candidates.
Dorothy mingled in the crowd, queuing and slowly moving forward. Soon, it was her turn.
The admissions officer who received her was a round-faced Little Witchsister, wearing glasses, and looking very quiet and cute. The Little Witch sister first looked at Dorothy's overly uninhibited dark-skinned hot girl makeup, and her eyes showed a slight aversion, like a teacher seeing a badly dressed student in strange clothes. However, she ultimately maintained her professionalism and didn't say much, simply proceeding with the standard procedure.
"Dorothy."
Dorothy stated her name.
"Age?"
"16."
"Major of application?"
"Automatic Mechanized Civil Engineering."
"Huh?"
The Little Witch sister looked up in surprise, glanced at Dorothy, and her expression became strange.
"Are you sure?"
She confirmed again.
"Yes, I'm very sure."
Dorothy nodded affirmatively.
So the Little Witch sister said no more. The self-disciplined recording quill beside her quickly filled out a document. Finally, the Little Witchsister stamped the document and handed it to Dorothy.
"Follow this guide map. Your examination location has been marked. It's a bit out of the way, can you find it?"
The Little Witch sister pointed to a map on the back of the document and asked.
"Yes, I can. Thank you."
Dorothy nodded, thanked her, then reached out, took the document, and left.
As one of the ten famous schools, Brewster Academy occupied a vast area. It was one of the largest sky islands in the Witch Academy, covering an area of approximately 1000 hectares, or about 15,000 mu. This was only the external area, not counting the various spatial extensions within the campus.
"It's so big. This is the size of Tsinghua and Peking University combined from my previous life. It truly lives up to its reputation as a school in a fantasy world."
Dorothy mused to herself.
In her previous life, she was a poor student, and the university she attended was a small school, with a tiny campus that could be walked across in just a few steps. Therefore, she really envied the huge campuses of other famous schools and wished she could experience the feeling of needing to take a bus from the dormitory to the teaching building.
However, in this life, she had the opportunity to make up for the regrets of her previous life. Although there were still no buses in this magical school, she could "drive" herself by flying.
Well, actually, there were also convenient and fast small teleportation gates within the campus that could reach all parts of the campus, but Dorothy politely declined them. She preferred to fly herself, even if it was a bit slower. After all, it would only take a few extra minutes, and she had plenty of time.
Dorothy took out her newly bought broom from her magic bag. Having already obtained her flight permit, she could now fly freely within the academy.
Maintaining her good-girl posture, Dorothy straddled the broom, her two round and slender legs clamped tightly, then with a "Wuhu!", she took off from the ground.
Once airborne and relaxed, she finally released her hands from the broom handle and began to examine the map on the back of the document.
This was a magic map, using a living-point technique, capable of precise positioning. It looked very convenient, just like a navigation system from her previous life.
The map clearly marked all roads and buildings, along with two marked points. The distant fixed point was the destination, while the rapidly moving point was Dorothy's own location.
And from the map, it seemed that the Automatic Mechanized Civil Engineering major that Dorothy applied for was indeed a bit obscure. The location was particularly remote, in a small corner in the southeast direction of the school, looking like it was unloved and neglected.
However, this was exactly what she wanted. Dorothy, being a gaming otaku, didn't like crowded places. She preferred quieter areas. She heard that this major usually only had a handful of students, which was absolutely fantastic. Maybe she would be the only student to apply this year, wouldn't that be amazing?
Thinking about how no one would disturb her studies, how there would be no troublesome interpersonal interactions with classmates, and how all the teachers in the entire major would have to revolve around her, with a bunch of experts answering any question she might have, finally solving the problem of low self-study efficiency and slow progress that had troubled her for so long, Dorothy's mood instantly brightened.
This was the kind of school life she wanted. A student's duty was to study. She was determined to study hard every day and strive to drain all the knowledge from the teachers in her major before graduation.
The Little Witch imagined while flying.
However...
Ten minutes later, when Dorothy finally followed the map's guidance and found the inconspicuous small house, completely obscured among several tall buildings, she looked at the crowd filling the front yard of the house and began to wonder if she had come to the wrong place.
She quietly backed up a few steps and saw that the sign at the entrance of this small yard clearly read "Automatic Mechanized Civil Engineering."
But this wasn't right. What about the promised obscure major, the one no one chose? This popularity didn't look obscure at all.
Dorothy was a bit confused, but when she bravely walked into the yard, she suddenly realized.
"Damn it, I've run into this annoying Little Fairy again."
Looking at the Succubus Witch in the center of the yard, whose every move was full of charm, every word and action naturally seductive, Dorothy felt incredibly weary.
No way, Little Witch sister, with your talent, why aren't you researching illusions in the spiritual department? Why are you here to do Civil Engineering?
Didn't they say that Civil Engineering dogs don't even study this?
And then looking at the others around, who were all ostensibly looking at their application documents but actually secretly glancing at the beautiful Little Witch sister out of the corner of their eyes, Dorothycouldn't help but feel indignant and cold.
What's wrong with you, classmates? Choosing a major is a big life decision. Can't you have some independent judgment? How can you just follow a pretty Little Witch sister? This is too casual, what do you take this school for?
However, with a sweep of her perception, looking at the widespread mediocrity, Dorothy was speechless.
Alright, most people's magic power was similar to hers, just barely enough to meet the 10,000 mana threshold. This level generally couldn't get into a prestigious school. These guys were just here for a one-day tour of a famous school, trying their luck. It's no wonder their major choices were so casual. They knew they couldn't get in, so they might as well come and see some beauties.
On the other hand, the aura of that beautiful, fairy-like mixed-blood Little Witch sister was very powerful, so much so that Dorothy felt it was not much inferior to Sophia's.
Alright, not only is she good-looking, but her talent is also so monstrous. She's definitely a true prodigy. But big shot, why would you, with such talent, choose to do Civil Engineering? Aren't you wasting your talent?
At this moment, Dorothy suddenly understood her mother Youfeiliya's feelings when facing her unfilial daughter.
This was truly a case of 'hating iron for not becoming steel.'
With this talent, why aren't you expanding the territory for the Witch World on the battlefield, or becoming a high-ranking official in the government, or even a demonic concubine causing chaos in a troubled world? Why are you here to study Civil Engineering?
Tsk, alright, with such a monstrous classmate, my days ahead are going to be tough.
