Chapter 2019 - 1024: Academy Procurement
On the other side, Dorothy and Audrey, led by Sophia, went to the student council.
Unlike the graduation procedures, which require teachers to step in, the commuting procedures they needed could be handled by the student council here, as the Witch Academy’s student council truly held great power.
However, as the three of them walked on the path to the student council, the turning heads rate was explosively high, with nearly all the students along the way either blatantly or covertly watching them.
Well, maybe this is the treatment reserved for celebrities.
If it were before, most people’s attention would probably be focused on Sophia, after all, she is the revered Student Council President.
Of course, it might also fall on Audrey, since even though the Little Fox feigns social anxiety and acts aloof, barely speaking, her allure as a Fox Spirit Succubus with captivating looks attracts attention fully.
But now, both the Pure White Witch and the little junior sister have become mere foils for Dorothy, over 60% of the crowd’s gazes are directly aimed at her.
"Wow, it’s the young lady, she’s actually back at the academy, is she preparing to continue her studies?"
"With her strength, can any teacher really teach her? She’s more likely to teach the teachers!"
"Wow, the young lady is so beautiful, she used to hide all her looks, what a waste."
"Indeed, I used to be a fan of her talent, now I’m a fan of her looks, how could such a perfect person exist in this world with both talent and beauty."
"Aren’t you afraid? She’s not just the young lady, she’s the Clown Grand Inquisitor, prone to confiscating properties."
"Haha, clearly you’re a new fan, I’ve been a ten-year veteran fan of the young lady, I’m not scared, back in the Magic Network days, I even bantered with Carmine of True Red."
...
Such whispers were constantly heard, making Dorothy slightly uncomfortable.
If possible, she still preferred to keep a low profile.
But alas, times have changed, and she’ll have to lead Stars Industry to grow strong, so she might as well get used to this feeling of being a social celebrity in advance.
Besides, today’s her isn’t the same weakling chicken with only 10,000 Mana magic power when entering school, who anyone could bully; now she’s the real Great Witch, with magic power over 300,000 Mana.
Though still a bit lacking compared to young top geniuses like Sophia Mia, her magical power level is considered upper class across the entire Witch World.
Yes, the greatest sense of security ultimately comes from strength; with strength, comes confidence and fearlessness against others’ gazes, as these classmates cannot pose any threat to her.
A fierce tiger won’t fear the attention of a flock of sheep; now, I’m fearsomely strong.
The Homebody Witch couldn’t help but feel a little pride, thinking, after all, she’s just that ordinary.
Though receiving much attention along the way, thankfully no antics occurred, and the three soon smoothly arrived at the student council’s base located on the One-Ring of the academy.
And once they stepped on this Sky Island, not large but with imposing buildings, the distribution of surrounding gazes was rearranged.
Hmm, Dorothy and Sophia now had about a 70/30 split, and Audrey, who should’ve been the most beautiful and attention-attracting, became inconspicuous; the student council members’ gazes linger on the Little Fox for a moment, slightly marveling out of courtesy, but soon refocus on the two main figures.
The young lady’s illustrious reputation doesn’t need more mentioning, seeing her is normal.
And Sophia managed to pull back a win, completely due to home turf advantage, since she has been the Student Council President reigning supreme for nearly ten years, with considerable accumulated prestige.
"Chairman, you’re back!"
"Welcome back, Chairman."
"We missed you so much, Chairman."
"Chairman, I’m graduating soon too, after graduation I’ll join your Revelation Battle Group."
...
Numerous veteran student council members hurried over, surrounding the three, and spoke to the Pure White Witch.
Frightening the socially anxious Little Fox almost to the point of exploding, unable to maintain her aloof protective color, she directly hid behind the Homebody Witch, trembling and clutching her arm tightly.
Dorothy could only reach out to comfort the trembling little junior sister, while marveling at how the Little Fox seemed not so little, her entire arm was engulfed!
The two sorority sisters tacitly took a step back, leaving the main spot for Sophia.
And the Pure White Witch, looking at these former subordinates still concerned about her, displayed a touched expression in her divine-like, sacred golden eyes.
She had thought the revelation of her possessing the Lord of Glory’s lineage might lead to rejection by people, but now the situation was much better than expected.
Of course, a large part of this is because she’d drawn the Holy Sword of the God King, becoming the God King Holy Child, with backing from the God King, naturally no one dared question her stance easily.
Yet even so, this open enthusiastic response from the old subordinates still deeply moved Sophia.
