Otaku Witch

A night passed without a word.

The following morning, Dorothy woke up from her bed and, with the help of her self-invented Life Magic tricks, she quickly resolved her washing up and finally snapped her fingers in front of the dressing mirror.

As a result, the stunning beauty in the mirror disappeared, replaced by a very attractive dark-skinned hottie.

Well, today was the day of the opening ceremony, so the campus celebrity Missy was temporarily signing off, and now logging on was Dorothy, a freshman in the automated mechanical civil engineering major at Brust Academy.

"Tsk, so ugly, Dorothy, you're spoiling yourself."

Above her head, Hat Senior Sister, looking at the girl with wheat-colored skin and heavy makeup in the mirror, couldn't help but wave her little tentacles in protest, the stars beneath her hat brim arranging themselves into an angry emoji.

"So what you're saying is that I should go out without makeup?"

Dorothy asked with a hint of amusement.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"That won't do, a beauty like you should only be appreciated by a strong contender like myself. You are my treasure."

At that, Hat Senior Sister's little tentacles guarded the Homebody Witch's face tightly, like a miser defending their hoarded treasure.

Dorothy rolled her eyes, no longer bothering with the drama queen senior sister. After carefully inspecting her disguise in the mirror to ensure there were no issues, she confidently left her room.

Next was preparing breakfast.

After all, she had eaten a greasy barbecue last night, so she decided to make a lighter breakfast today—a bowl of Dragon Tooth Rice porridge cooked with broth accompanied by pickled vegetables made from the extraordinary produce of the food world, and two steaming meat buns for a simple breakfast.

"Time for breakfast."

Once everything was ready, she called out to the Angel Witch's room.

However, when Sophia actually came out, Dorothy felt somewhat awkward, reminded of the Angel Witch's unspeakable words from the previous night, and was for a moment unsure how to face this Pure White girl.

"What's the opening ceremony like at Witch Academy? Does each school do their own, or does the whole academy come together?"

Seeing Sophia sitting quietly at the dining table, eating elegantly without a word, Dorothy asked to break the slightly oppressive silence.

The Angel Witch across the table lifted her head to glance at her, not dismissing this "future sovereign's" face-saving attempt.

"The whole academy comes together. All first-year students will be teleported to the academy's grand auditorium, where there will be speeches from the student representative and the Student Council President, followed by the Academy Head. After that, it's over."

Sophia briefly explained the opening ceremony proceedings.

Yet Dorothy, hearing this familiar procedure, immediately found it incredibly dull.

Ah, it's just like the opening ceremony I attended in my previous life's school. Could it be that schools across the Multiverse love pulling this stunt, and leaders are just fond of making speeches?

The thought of having to listen to a long, boring array of speeches all morning had the Homebody Witch feeling like she was already dozing off in advance.

However... the Student Council President speaking...

"Mmm-hmm. I'll listen attentively to your speech at that time."

She patted her chest, ensuring her roommate of her intent.

"Miss, you needn't force yourself. I've been using the same speech template for nearly ten years, just changing the cover every year."

The Pure White Witch wasn't impressed by her Missy's flattery and was so hard on herself that she even ridiculed her own act.

But in the end, Sophia indeed smiled and said.

"But this year's opening ceremony is a bit different; Miss, you probably won't find it boring. There will be a surprise at the time."

"Huh?"

Dorothy looked puzzled, not understanding the situation, yet the Angel Witch before her didn't seem inclined to explain further. This only piqued the curiosity of the homebody witch, who was so irritated she almost wanted to smack her porridge bowl on the head of that annoying riddler who stopped talking halfway through.

Forget it, the world is so wonderful, yet I'm so irritable. That's not good, not good at all, especially since the food is innocent.

She tried hard to suppress her fiery temper and turned her rage into appetite, hastily devouring her breakfast like she was reborn as an evil ghost and then, as if to vent, left the cleaning up to Sophia.

"I'm heading out, goodbye."

After hastily wiping her mouth with a napkin, the huffy homebody witch shouted this from the balcony, then straddled her broom and took off with a woohoo.

However, she hadn't been flying for long when a golden figure caught up from behind.

"Senior Sister, good morning."

The disastrous Fox Spirit junior's shoulder puppet, which seemed eager to greet with an energetic hello, unfortunately lacked vitality due to the stiff, rudimentary doll, and its mechanical, synthesized voice was utterly devoid of any emotional expression.

"Good morning, Audrey."

Seeing it was her easygoing junior sister, Dorothy slowed down to fly alongside her.

"By the way, you'll be okay for the opening ceremony, right?"

She looked at her socially anxious junior sister with some concern, hoping she wouldn't faint from the crowd.

"With Second Aunt and you seniors here, I should be fine… probably?"

Upon hearing this, Little Fox's ears drooped; she was uncertain about her own condition.

"Actually, I was supposed to speak as the freshman representative, but thankfully Sister helped me decline it, otherwise, it really would've been tough."

Audrey spoke with a relieved expression on her face.

Dorothy: "....."

Well done, with your level as a freshman representative? How desperate must this year's students be...

Looking at her socially incurable junior sister, the Homebody Witch couldn't help but want to make a snide remark inwardly.

But after giving it some thought, she was shocked to realize that although her junior sister might be a bit naive (silly and sweet), if one only looked at talent and strength, she did indeed seem to be a genius powerhouse.

"Hey, Audrey, if you don't mind my asking, how much magic power do you have now?"

Dorothy asked cautiously.

"290k Mana. I usually don't like training much; otherwise, I might have reached 300k by now. Why do you ask, Senior Sister?"

Little Fox had no intention of hiding anything and answered without any guard, her face that resembled a work of art showing a bit of shame for her usual indulgence in unproductive hobbies.

Dorothy: "....."

Wuu wuu wuu, the clown turns out to be me, why is everyone around me a genius?
