Chapter 79: 79. Shocking the Little Witch for a Hundred Years
Time rewound to a little over ten minutes ago, at the Armed SocietyHeadquarters.
As a super-large society with over a million members, even though most members usually operate through branch offices spread throughout the Witch Academy and not everyone comes to the headquarters for activities, the headquarters itself is still quite massive.
It is a medium-sized floating island, similar in scale to the Student Council Headquarters, and is also filled with spatial extension spells, making its actual internal space dozens of times larger than its exterior.
However, unlike the Student Council, which is covered in temples and has an overall architectural style leaning towards a sacred and solemn mythological aesthetic, the Armed Society's floating island is filled with Gladiator Arenas of various sizes, and its architectural style is mostly rough and wild, full of ferocity.
The sculptures and murals used for decoration mostly depict themes of hunting, fighting, and War.
Especially the Big Colosseum in the center of the entire floating island, which was transformed from the remains of an Ancient Dragon, is even more magnificent and visually impactful, with the lingering Dragon's might around the building capable of making cowards tremble and brave individuals' blood boil.
In short, it is a place that makes one's blood surge naturally upon entering, influenced by the surrounding atmosphere.
Early in the morning, a tiny figure emerged from the teleportation gate at the Armed Society's dock entrance.
This was a delicate, golden-haired, blue-eyed Little Witch, no more than 1.3 meters tall. Her petite figure combined with her doll-like exquisite face was a critical hit for some people's XP systems, not to mention her twin-tail hairstyle, and the adorable little fangs that showed when her slightly chubby face smiled.
Hmm, very criminal.
If this were on human territory, such a cute Little Witch walking on the street would likely soon have people approaching her, asking if she was lost from her family and if she wanted to go see goldfish with an uncle or something. However, this is a floating island, the territory of Witches.
And for ultimate beings like Witches, appearance and age have always been deceptive things.
In the Witch World, you should never underestimate someone based on their appearance and age, otherwise, you will definitely pay a heavy price. Don't ask why there is such an unwritten rule, because countless news stories like 'The new little girl in the family is actually my great-grandmother,' 'I, a good-for-nothing, can't even beat my three-year-old niece,' and 'Why am I always mistaken for my sister when I'm the mom?' have become tiresome to read.
Moreover, this is the Witch Academy, which has an admission threshold of 10,000 mana. So, what does the appearance of a young girl in a school uniform here signify?
It can only mean that she successfully enrolled at an age when you were still playing in the mud, and she is a true genius whose talent far surpasses your mediocrity.
So...
"Good morning, Squad Leader."
"Good morning, Squad Leader Alice."
"Morning, Captain."
Upon seeing this adorable Little Witch enter, almost all members of the Armed Society along the way respectfully put down what they were doing and greeted her.
After all, this individual is also a celebrity in this year's Armed Society. Legend has it that she directly enrolled in the Witch Academy at the age of three, and upon enrollment, she immediately went to the Armed Society, beginning to compete with a group of adult Witches in her young body.
Although Squad Leader Alice did not start off as majestically and dominantly as the President, slaughtering everyone, in fact, she was initially slaughtered. After all, she was too young at that time; even if her magic power was not inferior to others, her undeveloped body was quite a disadvantage.
But this young Squad Leader was truly ruthless. Even after being abused countless times, she would get up as if nothing happened and continue to charge, simply terrifyingly reckless.
And as she grew up little by little, the terrifying suppressive power of a genius Witch gradually revealed itself. Her progress was almost visible to the naked eye. The seniors who used to easily dominate her were all defeated and surpassed by her one by one. Now, at thirteen, she is already the Captain of the Thirteenth Team of the Thirteenth Enforcement Squad.
Although she is only the last-ranked Captain, she is still a Captain! According to the current rules of the Armed Society, besides the President, who is always number one, only the top 14 ranked members in the society can become Captains of the Thirteenth Team according to their seat ranking.
This means that this young Squad Leader, who has only just evolved from a young girl to a loli and has not yet reached her physical peak, can already rank 14th among the millions of people in the Armed Society. What will happen when she fully matures?
Anyway, for those Witches with ordinary aptitude, she is already a big shot. The world of big shots is too terrifying and too far away from them. Ordinary people like them just need to greet her respectfully when they meet her.
And to the greetings of these university students, the young Squad Leader Alice also politely and obediently nodded in return, then bounced and floated away, leaving behind her two swaying twin tails fluttering in the air.
This made the university students feel healed, as in this Armed Society, where almost everyone is a villain, such an innocent and cute Squad Leader Alice is almost like a mascot.
Although this mascot becomes even more villainous than villains once she enters combat.
"Hmm, it seems the young Squad Leader is in a good mood today. She was quite scary with a straight face a few days ago."
The students exchanged glances, all sighing in relief, feeling that their society's mascot was back.
And Alice's mood was indeed quite good at the moment. The Little Witch happily held her spellbook, giggling at the message on the book.
"Forest Fairy: My dear sister, how is your society today? No special circumstances, right? I'm planning to come over and see later."
This was a magic network message her sister had just sent her. Thinking that she would soon see her sister, whom she hadn't seen in four days, the Little Witch, feeling a lack of 'sister energy,' immediately brightened up.
"Hmm, when my sister comes later, I must properly show my demeanor as a Thirteenth Enforcement Squad Captain. I said before that I would look after her after she enrolled, but she didn't believe me. This time, I must make my sister look at me with new eyes."
Alice thought to herself, feeling pleased.
Although in reality, her sister seems to have been arranged by her mother—that terrifying Dragon Witch—to live with that hateful Student Council President, it doesn't matter. With the years of sisterly bond between my sister and me, a mere Student Council President poses no threat. My sister definitely still loves me.
The Little Witch firmly believed this in her heart.
But speaking of which, someone seems to be coming to the society for a practical assessment today. Hehehe, isn't this a target delivered right to my doorstep? Later, when my sister comes, I will personally take action and show her what the dignity of an Enforcement Squad Captain is.
Alice looked forward to this in her heart.
Then...
"Who's the best fighter here?"
Ten minutes later, looking at the familiar, arrogant, fully armed, and unpresentable figure below the stage, Alice, sitting in the Captain's seat and rubbing her fists, opened her mouth in shock, her jaw about to drop.
"Damn, who is this? Why does she look so much like my sister?"
The Little Witch was terrified.
Damn it, why is my Shenhe a zombie? Boohoohoo, I really have no money left! Damn it, I'll go write fairy tales to earn money later. After writing fairy tales, I still have to put drafts on the shelves for the Witches. So annoying.
