Chapter 122: 121. Spider Teacher Is a Liar
At Brewster Academy, in the inconspicuous courtyard of the Automatic Mechanized Civil Engineering major, the senior and junior sisters, who had arrived together, landed their brooms.
Today, the Spider Teacher didn't stay holed up in her workshop. Instead, she was already waiting for them in the courtyard, having even tidied herself up a bit. Her already beautiful appearance now resembled a newlywed young woman from the neighboring house, her voluptuous figure and demeanor instantly captivating.
It was just that...
"Tsk, the older sisters in this world seem to have some issues; they're all external frauds."
Dorothy thought to herself as she glanced at this squinty-eyed, convenient teacher.
She was originally a firm fan of older sisters, particularly those attractive ones. However, since arriving in this Witch World, these older sisters, who matched her preferences and stirred a slight flutter in her heart, were each stranger than the last.
Senior Mia seemed like a gentle, maternal rich woman, but in reality, she was an incorrigible sadist and a tyrannical mother.
Disciplinary Committee Chairman Madeline appeared to be a rigid, old-fashioned knight, but upon closer contact, it became clear that a succubus was, after all, a succubus, and her true nature was hard to change.
Even the Hat Senior currently on her head...
Sigh, what a beautiful, long-haired black beauty, but unfortunately, she's mentally unstable.
And now, this seemingly alluring squinty-eyed teacher... Recalling this teacher's character, which valued talent above all else and was extremely hypocritical, Dorothy couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
"Sigh, I feel like my sister complex is almost cured."
"Dorothy, I feel like you were just thinking something impolite?"
Above her, the Hat Senior's starry brim formed a large eye, staring at her Master, asking in an unfriendly tone.
"No, no, no, Senior, you're overthinking it. I was praising your charm, Senior; you're almost changing my preferences."
Dorothy replied with a straight face, "speaking truthfully."
This left the Hat Senior momentarily indecisive. Her ability to detect lies told her that Dorothy wasn't lying, but her divine intuition always made her feel that something wasn't quite right.
So...
How naughty, she glared with her eyes.
The Hat Senior's Starry Eye stared intently at her. Fortunately, just as Dorothy was about to be overwhelmed by the divine eye and almost showed a flaw, the Spider Teacher stepped forward.
"These are your student IDs. Keep them safe. We'll rely on them for positioning during the opening ceremony later."
Noe Rose handed two spider-shaped badges to the two of them and instructed.
However, afterward, her gaze lingered on Dorothy's head for a moment before she said with a complex tone,
"Nice hat. Who gave it to you? But in that case, I'll need to change the graduation gift I planned for you."
To a Witch, a triangular Witch Hat has always held special significance. It's not something Little Witches can simply wear, as such hats often represent a Witch's independent social status.
Generally, only when a Little Witch comes of age and her abilities are recognized by her elders will the elders present her with a triangular Witch Hat, as proof that the Little Witch is now capable of standing on her own.
Hmm, to put it simply, it's like a coming-of-age ceremony for Little Witches, somewhat similar to the capping ceremony in the country Dorothy lived in during her previous life.
Typically, a Little Witch's first hat is given by family or a teacher. Dorothy knew that her father, Adam, had actually prepared a beautiful Witch Hat for her a long time ago. It was a high-grade item custom-made by a Master along with her previous magic bag. He had kept it hidden from Dorothy, seemingly wanting to give it to her after she graduated from Witch Academy as a surprise.
Unfortunately, Adam, being a weak human mage, ultimately didn't know the terror of a Witch, just as he always thought his secret stash of money was well hidden, but in reality, his stepmother, Anne, knew the location of all his secret funds like the back of her hand.
When Dorothy occasionally felt a bit chuunibyou and wanted to try on her future hat, to cosplay as a Great Witch, she had several times stumbled upon her small stepmother secretly checking her husband's expenses at home.
Afterward, she and her stepmother reached an agreement to pretend they hadn't seen each other.
Hmm, a strange friendship between stepdaughter and stepmother grew.
And now, after seeing that her favored disciple already had a Witch Hat that looked very high-grade, the Spider Teacher suddenly felt a strange sense of loss, as if her original privilege had been snatched away.
Sigh, it was her first time having a favored disciple in her life, but why wasn't her disciple's first hat given by her?
But thinking about it, it made sense. This little disciple's knowledge was so incredible; it was impossible for her to have truly been self-taught all this time. Besides herself, she probably had other teachers.
Ah, so I'm the cuckold receiver.
For a moment, the Spider Teacher's mood was complex.
On the other side, the Hat Senior was also a bit surprised that she had been discovered. She extended two small tentacles to pull Dorothy's ear, then the ends of the tentacles split into tiny mouths, whispering softly.
"Wow, Dorothy, your teacher has something special! She can actually see me. Confirmed, she's a strong one. You definitely didn't lose out on this one."
"Emmmm, but she does look a bit familiar. I should have seen her file in the past. The fact that she left an impression on the great me means she's indeed a very powerful Great Witch. Let me think..."
"Oh, I got it! Her name seems to be Noe Rose, and her titles are 'Humanoid Dominator of the Deep Boudoir,' 'Eight-Eyed Thousand-Handed Silk Demon,' 'Mobile Calamity Fortress,' 'One-Woman Army War Empress'—"
"Wow, you didn't just not lose out on this one; you hit the jackpot! I saw her in the list of Great Witches awaiting promotion. Your teacher will be promoted to Peak soon."
Should it be said that she was indeed the future Fourth King? This Hat Senior seemed to know quite a lot of top-secret information.
It was just that, Dorothy: "..."
The Zhai Mo Nv was silent for a moment. Should she be happy now?
Good news: her newly acquired convenient teacher was about to be promoted, and her backing had become stronger.
Bad news: she seemed to have been scammed again. This was supposed to be a research-oriented major?
Dorothy looked at the Spider Teacher in front of her with some dismay, wanting to ask her what those titles, which sounded very violent and militaristic, were all about.
Before she became her disciple, wasn't it agreed that you were a dual Master of architecture and puppetry? Shouldn't this be someone involved in scientific research?
Is it still too late for me to drop out and find another teacher?
The Little Witch was doubting her life.
Qian Bao, you must be strong, boo hoo hoo.
