Chapter 71: The God of Academic Excellence is Born
Community Square
Audrey retrieved the spellbook from her hand, a slight regret in her heart.
She had a really good day today. For the first time in her life, she met a Senior Sister who didn't desire her, for the first time someone accompanied her to the market, for the first time she was alone in a crowd, and for the first time she didn't return home on time, still playing outside after dark.
So many firsts made her entire day incredibly exciting, filled with more wonder than she might have experienced in the past year.
It was a pity that such freedom would soon disappear, as her sister was already on her way.
However, the sensible little fox understood that her sister was just too concerned and cared too much about her, so despite some regret in her heart, she obediently stayed put, waiting for her sister to pick her up.
She was currently sitting upright and elegantly in the audience of a strange wrestling club called "Death or Rush," not far from the True Sight Eye Club, resting her chin in her hands as she watched two scantily clad Demonesses wrestling on the stage.
Both contestants on stage had excellent figures, tall and athletic, with curvy and graceful bodies. Therefore, when they wrestled together, the scene was quite beautiful, with ripples spreading and a stunning display.
And for the first time in her life seeing such a scene, the little fox's face flushed, her heart raced, and her mouth became dry. She shyly hugged one of her large tails, using it to cover her face, looking as if to say, 'This is too weird, I don't want to watch anymore.'
But her head would occasionally peek over her tail, her gaze stealthily glancing at the wrestling match on stage.
"Hmm, it's really strange, I'll just take one more look."
Then another tail would stretch out to block her view, then she'd turn her head again, sneak another peek, and then another tail would come to block it again.
Audrey was battling with her nine tails like this, and it was thanks to the Akalin Technique on her body that hadn't faded yet. Otherwise, the sight of such a beauty watching wrestling while battling wits with her own tails might attract more attention than the wrestling match itself.
"Senior Sister is truly amazing."
Feeling the lingering spell effect on her body, Audrey genuinely marveled.
The magic power Senior Sister had attached when casting the spell had long been consumed, but now the spell was automatically drawing the little fox's magic power to sustain itself. This kind of high-level operation, where a temporary buff attached to someone else could self-sustain by absorbing the host's magic power, was something Audreyhad never dared to imagine before.
Even now, she found it hard to imagine what level of spell proficiency was required to achieve such a feat. She could only marvel more and more at how truly formidable this mysterious Senior Sister was.
Audrey turned her head and looked at the still-closed door of the True Sight Eye Club nearby, beginning to believe that Senior Sister probably wasn't joking with her earlier.
It had been several hours since she went in. If she was only taking one exam, she would have finished by now. Staying in for so long probably meant Senior Sister was indeed preparing to take all nine exams at once.
Thinking back to how Second Aunt's terrifying exam paper this morning couldn't even test Senior Sister's limits and was passed with a perfect score, taking nine joint exams now didn't seem like an unacceptable thing.
"Truly impressive."
The little fox sighed again, feeling for the first time in her life a sense of inferiority towards someone else.
But this wasn't a bad thing. With such a Senior Sister, her future academy life should be quite interesting.
And just as the little fox was envisioning her colorful future academy life, a purple stream of light, like thunder, descended from the sky, directly crashing onto the wrestling ring, shattering the sturdy ring into pieces and causing it to collapse with a roar.
At this, both the two Demonesses wrestling on the stage and the audience below were utterly bewildered, not knowing what had happened. Especially the two wrestling Demonesses who were fiercely grappling, they were even more at a loss, directly frightened into embracing each other, sticking together on the spot.
Before they could even recover, another flash of white light appeared. Fortunately, this one did not land so violently, but elegantly hovered with spread wings, slowly descending. The gentle breeze stirred by her wings blew away the dust from the stage, revealing the true form of the previous purple lightning.
"Oh, this, Student Council President?"
"Good heavens, Disciplinary Committee Chairman?"
"Why are these two big shots here together? Has our club's secret naughtiness been exposed?"
"Don't talk nonsense, what naughtiness? We are a legitimate wrestling club. Can Demoness wrestling be called naughtiness?"
Audrey, who was also startled, clearly heard the whispers of the people around her, but her attention was quickly drawn to the familiar figure emerging from the smoke.
"Sister, I'm here."
She stood up and shouted towards the Succubus Witch who was looking around for something.
However, her shouts did not attract anyone's attention. The Succubus Witch on the stage continued to look around anxiously, searching for something.
"Ah, this… Is Senior Sister's spell really this effective? It can even trick my sister."
The little fox was shocked.
She reluctantly cut off the magic power supply to the spell on her body, and only then did the magical effect enveloping her disappear.
Thus, the previously dim moonlight in the night sky suddenly brightened, and a beam of moonlight, like a spotlight, shone directly above her head. The captivating charm of the exquisite Nine-tailed Foxwas instantly revealed, drawing the eyes of everyone present.
"Audrey."
The Succubus who had just been full of anxiety finally let out a sigh of relief. She took a step and instantly appeared in front of the little fox, then carefully examined her, fearing that she might have been hurt.
"Sister…"
Being treated like a child by her overly concerned sister in public, Audrey's face instantly flushed. She reminded her sister with a hint of vexation.
At this moment, the little fox's social anxiety, which had been improving, showed signs of worsening again.
However, the Succubus Witch was clearly more concerned about her sister's safety than these things. After confirming that her sister was indeed fine, she let out a long breath.
Her eyes, which had regained their sharp coldness, swept across the entire scene. She said nothing, but the Demonesses students present seemed to suddenly have urgent matters and began to flee.
"Oh, I left a potion brewing at home, I forgot to retrieve it…"
"I left in a hurry today, I forgot to feed my familiar…"
"My girlfriend called me back to pay the public grain."
They clamored, spouting excuses that clearly sounded made up, and quickly left the scene. However, the little fox distinctly felt that various gossipy perceptions still lingered there.
This immediately caused Audrey's social anxiety to relapse, and she quietly hid behind her sister.
"Let's go back first."
Madeline saw her sister's frightened look and didn't dare to linger.
Just as she was about to leave, a sacred barrier unfolded, isolating all outside prying eyes. The Succubus Witch frowned, looking curiously at the Student Council President who had folded her wings and was slowly walking towards them.
"President, what is this?"
Madeline finally had time to wonder why the Student Council Presidenthad been following her.
However, the Angel Witch walking towards them clearly had no intention of answering her question. Sophia's golden eyes were fixed directly on the enchanting fox hiding behind the Succubus Witch.
"Who is your Senior Sister? Is it my Young Miss?"
She didn't waste words and asked directly.
And the Succubus Witch, worried that her sister would be scared, also frowned and directly blocked the Angel Witch's line of sight. Even if it was the Student Council President, she couldn't bully her sister in front of her.
And what Senior Sister, what Young Miss, how could my sister possibly interact with strangers?
Madeline instinctively retorted in her mind, but then she remembered that her sister seemed to have mentioned something about a Senior Sister earlier, and it was that person who led her adorable sister to stay out all night.
Behind the Succubus Witch, although the little fox was quite afraid of this seemingly majestic Angel Witch, she still mustered her courage and peeked out.
Because the desire this Angel Witch had for her didn't seem very strong.
"Hmm, it wasn't absent, just quite faint, and it was getting fainter."
Audrey secretly observed the Angel Witch's gaze towards her, and then she received an answer from those golden eyes that she found somewhat hard to accept.
It was a strange look that was initially a bit amazed, but quickly became indifferent, even carrying a sense of "nothing special."
This made Audrey very puzzled. In all her life, she had never seen anyone look at her with the meaning of "nothing special." Could she have met someone more beautiful than herself? That would have to be someone of the King of Witches level.
The little fox was greatly perplexed.
However, she recalled Senior Sister's attire before entering the exam, and then looked at the Student Council President in front of her, and the fire of gossip ignited in Audrey's heart.
Yay, the campus forum didn't lie! Senior Sister really does have a mysterious relationship with the Student Council President! Is the President worried about Senior Sister, which is why she came to find her, just like an older sister would come to find me?
Audrey, feeling like she had just stumbled upon a sweet moment, showed a doting aunt's smile. So, even though she was a little afraid of the Angel Witch, she still nodded and then manipulated the small puppet on her shoulder to respond.
"Yes, Senior Sister is taking an exam in the True Sight Eye Club. I'll leave the rest to the President."
"Alright, thank you. I will."
Upon getting the answer she wanted, Sophia also let out a long sigh of relief, putting her mind at ease.
Thankfully, this young lady wasn't lost because of me. I finally found her. I was so scared.
The Angel Witch nodded, then gave a perfect, professional smile to the little fox who seemed very shy. After that, she directly waved her hand to remove the previous barrier and turned to walk towards the True Sight Eye Club not far away.
Only the Succubus Witch, Madeline, was left, looking at her sister beside her with an incredulous expression.
What's going on? When did my socially anxious sister become so brave? She actually dared to speak to someone, and directly to the Student Council President at that?
Even though they had only been apart for a single day, Madeline felt that a layer of pathetic estrangement had grown between her and her sister.
So, what had she missed?
"Sister, let's go back. I'll explain to you when we get back."
The little fox shook her sister's arm, and the two ascended again, flying far away.
When the Demonesses who were waiting for gossip saw that there was no more fun, they immediately lost interest. They were extremely curious about what had happened inside the barrier, but no one dared to ask. Each of them was so frustrated, like cats with their claws itching, it was truly unbearable.
Some people gave up and went back to their own business. Some, who seemed bored, still stubbornly prepared to keep an eye on the Student Council President. However, when that golden eye looked back at them, they all scurried away and retracted their gazes.
Tsk, the President is stingy. Never mind, if there's no gossip, we'll make our own.
Spread the word: Tonight, the Student Council President and the Disciplinary Committee Chairman fought fiercely for the favor of the newly enrolled Nine-tailed Fox junior.
In an instant, the campus forum, which had not yet calmed down from the previous commotion, exploded again. Many Demoness netizens and big-shot creators excitedly began their creative work.
However, Sophia was already used to the antics of these bored individuals. She just silently, once again, cut half of the Mo Yu News Agency's budget for the second half of the year, the club behind the campus forum.
Well, even though she had just cut half of it three days ago, she only hoped that those Da Zui Wu Ya would learn their lesson, at least a little.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The Angel Witch politely knocked on the door of the True Sight Eye Club. Even the Student Council President needed to treat this club, with its intimidating background, with respect. After all, they might be under your jurisdiction in school, but after graduation, you might be under theirs. No Demoness wanted to offend these future All-Seeing Eye civil servants.
After the door automatically opened, Sophia walked in. Then the door closed again, blocking all external prying eyes. Even the lawless Da Zui Wu Ya, who dared to fabricate anything, wouldn't dare to act wildly here.
"President, are you here to pick up your young lady?"
As soon as the Angel Witch entered, a short but well-endowed, round-faced Demoness wearing silver-rimmed glasses enthusiastically ran over.
This made Sophia a little confused. She had been to the True Sight Eye Club several times before, but weren't the top students inside usually arrogant and looked down on everyone? Why were they so enthusiastic today?
However, she still nodded.
"Yes, how did my young lady's exam go?"
The Angel Witch also asked curiously.
The young lady had mentioned before that she still had many certificates to earn, and the teacher had also asked her to take the young lady to complete those assessments as soon as possible. Originally, Sophia had planned to bring the young lady over tomorrow, but she didn't expect the young lady to be so eager and come on her own today.
"By the way, how many subjects did she take? Four or five?"
Sophia asked again.
She knew that the famous Forest Witch on the magic net was her young lady's alias, so there should be no doubt about the young lady's knowledge. The Angel Witch estimated that she should have passed at least four or five subjects.
Hmm, although taking four or five subjects at once was a bit exaggerated, if it was the Forest Witch, it would be understandable.
But then…
The round-faced Demoness in front of her suddenly looked at Sophiawith a scornful gaze, as if she were looking at a scumbag. This made the Angel Witch full of questions.
Did I say something wrong? Was guessing four or five subjects too much?
"President, you should care more about your young lady. Tsk, you don't even know your girlfriend's academic achievements. You're too unqualified."
The round-faced Demoness complained mercilessly.
Then she looked at the pure white Angel Witch in front of her with another scornful glance.
"Tsk, I really don't know how our young lady took a liking to you. Although you are the Student Council President, to be honest, you are a bit unworthy of our young lady."
Sophia: "..."
What the hell? That's clearly my young lady, how did she suddenly become yours? Did you ask my teacher for her opinion?
"So, how many subjects exactly?"
She couldn't help but press for an answer.
"Of course, it's nine! Oh, to be precise, eight and a half. The club president and vice president are currently proctoring the young lady's exam. She has already passed eight subjects, and the remaining half is almost finished."
The round-faced Demoness said with an expression of adoration.
The members of the True Sight Eye Club were all top-tier academic elites on the All-Knowing Path. The deepest impression people had of these scholars who pursued knowledge was their rationality. But at this moment, Sophia felt a trace of devout faith emanating from the round-faced Demoness in front of her.
Yes, that's right, it was indeed the power of faith. As an Angel Witch, Sophia could not be mistaken about this point alone.
And it wasn't just the round-faced Demoness in front of her; now, the seeds of faith were sprouting in most people throughout the entire True Sight Eye Club.
So, what exactly happened?
The Angel Witch's fists clenched. She somewhat wanted to directly punch the round-faced Demoness in front of her who wouldn't finish her sentences in one go.
However, nine subjects, hiss...
Even the Angel Witch, who had been mentally prepared, was stunned at this moment. This reality still greatly exceeded her expectations.
Originally, she thought her expectation of four or five subjects was already outrageous. After all, it was rumored that the current president of the True Sight Eye Club, the recognized genius scholar, had only passed six academic faction assessments so far. The Angel Witchthought that while the young lady was also a genius, she shouldn't be more exaggerated than that.
However, reality now slapped her hard, just as she, the number one person in Witch Academy, had been instantly defeated by the young lady not long ago.
"So, the results? Did she pass?"
Sophia asked, somewhat dazed for a moment.
However, it seemed she didn't need the round-faced Demoness's answer, because a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly erupted from the front, and in the Angel Witch's perception, the previously budding light of faith suddenly exploded, becoming incredibly strong and fervent.
"Young Lady, the goddess of academics! Full marks in all subjects..."
"From now on, I am a dedicated fan of the young lady. Whoever dares to oppose the young lady, I will smash her dog head on the spot..."
"Young Lady, do you take disciples? No, I'm not worthy. Should I say, do you need a pet? How about me?"
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Sophia would never have believed that the members of the True Sight Eye Club, who were one cooler than the other outside, and future civil servants, would be so excited and humble at this moment.
But then, combining it with the information revealed in their words just now, at this moment, Sophia instinctively gasped, and felt her legs go a little weak.
Are you kidding me? Eight and a half subjects at once, and all with full marks? The last Demoness to be this wild is now sitting on the throne of the King of Witches!
Ah, this... my young lady actually has the potential to become a King?
The Angel Witch was in a state of confused shock...
5200 words. I have something tomorrow, so I probably won't have time to write. I'll post it tonight. Tsk, I actually hit 10,000 words today. I never thought a slacker like me would have a 10,000-word day.
And please stop saying it's filler. I really don't feel like I'm filling. Old readers who have read my previous books also know that my writing style has always been like this. I don't like those dry articles that seem to want to go straight to the outline. Why be in such a hurry? No one's chasing you anyway. I just like to depict some details. This is an old habit, and it's impossible to change. If you really can't stand it, write it yourselves. I'm powerless anyway, my skill is limited, this is my limit.
