Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

In the woods, the two parties were fighting fiercely. The tall mechanical war puppet fell heavily from the sky. The fierce blade flashed with the cold light of metal and split the pale fist that was thrown out. However, the aftermath and air waves from the fist also hit the battle. There was a dense and clanking sound coming from the metal shell of the couple.

The eight limb blades fell on the ground, destroying the magic circle engraved on the ground, and the soil splashed. However, the opponent's ritual had been completed at this time, and it could not make those pale arms disappear.

After landing, the mechanical war puppet opened its mouth wide, revealing a honeycomb-like barrel. Then the sound of intensive gunfire sounded, and the pouring bullets immediately overwhelmed the opponent.

Two seconds later, the fire went out and the gun barrel temporarily stopped firing due to overheating. The witch who had been standing there disappeared. Just as everyone was looking for where the witch was, there was a whistling sound in the sky.

"Stupid! We have been roommates for three years. Who doesn't know this combo of yours and still uses it on me?" As she said that, the witch rolled up her sleeves, revealing her inner arms. The veins are painted with blue special paint, and at this moment the patterns on it light up, representing the fullness of magic and the use of ritual secrets.

"The blood of my blood roars like a lion!"

As the young witch shouted, blood beads oozed from the patterns on her arms, and the magic lines glowed with strange colors. Then the mighty lion head transformed from her right arm and swung her fists, accompanying it. , and the remaining dozens of pale fists beside him, all smashed into the head of the mechanical warrior, denting the metal shell, making a sour sound of metal twisting, and the internal gears and transmission structures also shook. There were sparks and black smoke.

After a few seconds, the fist wind dissipated, and the mechanical war puppet below was already crumbling. The witch who controlled the mechanical war puppet simply gave up on the bulky war puppet, pulled out the heavy machine gun inside, put it on the war puppet and fired, fierce bullets, The opponent had to turn over temporarily and hide under the mechanical war puppet.

Just when the 'ritualist' witch below was waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, the mechanical war puppet that originally thought it had stopped firing took action again, waving its sharp knife feet, putting the witch below who was dodging bullets in an extremely dangerous situation. Be careful, you may be cut open by the blade.

The 'Machine Puppet Sect' witch, who had gained a breather, once again controlled the action of the mechanical war puppet from above, continuously attacking the opponent below who was shrouded by the sword-footed battle front, preventing the opponent from breaking free and counterattacking.

After more than a dozen attacks like this, the witch dodging below finally made an accident and was injured by the blade. Then she tripped and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the sharp blade was about to pierce, the sound of stopping came from the forest.

"That's it." As the voice rang out, the moving mechanical war puppet was suddenly frozen and stopped moving, just like a statue.

The witches above were extremely surprised, and then everyone saw clearly the three older witches walking out of the forest.

"Teacher Xiulin." Someone recognized the short and thin witch at the head. He was one of the few great witches in the academy today.

"The fight was okay, but it was only for a moment in the front. What's that in the back? Are girls pulling their hair? It's really embarrassing." The older witch waved her hand, and the mechanical war puppet regained its ability to move. The witch of the earth was also lifted up by invisible forces.

"Let's disperse. Go back and reflect." As she said this, the witch's dark gray gaze swept across the entire audience. Her majesty as an elder made the young witches disperse like birds.

Although the other students had left, Tilan was still standing there. Seeing that she didn't leave, Mel couldn't leave alone. Yimiti also hesitated because the two of them stayed, feeling the friendship they had just met in their hearts. And facing the majesty and fear of the teacher, it is like the two ends of the scale swinging.

Let's go. It feels a bit disrespectful of friendship, but don't go. She is also very afraid of the three great witches in front of her. Although the students usually complain about the several great witches in the academy behind their backs, when they really face each other, they are all scared. She is as honest and scared as a chicken. After all, witches are not like teachers in traditional schools who follow the rules and follow their own whims.

"What are you doing standing there? These two are guests of the academy, you don't need to worry." Xiulin's eyes were half-closed, and he glanced at the hesitant Yimiti to dispel his psychological barriers.

"Ah, yes, Teacher Xiulin. That Mel and Danterian, I'll leave first and contact you later." After saying that, Yimiti trotted away and left the woods.

Without the interference or onlookers from other students, the woods became quiet, with only the traces of rolled soil remaining on the ground, telling the story of the fight they had just experienced.

"Dantrienne, maybe it's better to call her Hesia. Welcome to Three Phase Moon Academy."

Facing this talented girl who had won the Winter Festival competition not long ago, the great witch still showed the respect she deserved, and her aura and posture when facing the students before were slightly restrained.

"Senior Xiulin, hello." Hesia simply lifted her skirt, bent down to salute, and then walked towards the three of them.

"I received a notice from Porphyry in the morning saying that you were here. I originally thought that we would meet soon, but I didn't want to wait for a long time, so I just came over to check on the situation." Xiulin stretched out his hand from the waistcoat of the witch's cloak. He spread the long gray hair beside his ears, shook it slightly, and then glanced across Heshia.

This great witch is a rare Magic Sequence 7 transcendent. It can be said to be the master and leader of the faction. Although Heshia is extremely dazzling among the new generation, in the eyes of her generation, she is still different from a child. Not big.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Hesia and Mel leaned over again to apologize.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Come with me." After saying that, she turned around and walked deep into the forest.

The two older witches who followed Xiulin nodded slightly to Tilan as a simple greeting, then followed Xiulin's pace and walked deeper into the forest.

Following the three witches, Heshia and Mel walked through the forest until they came to a cabin in the forest.

The hut looks similar to a mushroom, and it looks like it's made of oak, but Heshia thinks it's not that simple, because she vaguely feels a strange and familiar feeling.

Sure enough, after opening the wooden door of the cabin and walking in, the two of them seemed to have entered a different world. The space inside was extremely spacious, far from being as small as it looked from the outside.

This should be Xiulin's private residence. It is full of retro wooden structures. The interior of the wooden house is roughly divided into three floors. One wall is used as a bookshelf to store many ancient classics. The wooden floor is densely packed with books. There are various alchemical instruments, including modern electronic products, and there is a projection screen and computer in one corner.

After coming to the round wooden table in the hall and sitting down, Tilan could see the owl wall clock hanging not far away making a slight reverberating sound. There was also a miniature miniature flying dragon in the cage on the cabinet beside it, spraying small spray from its mouth. flames.

After the three of them sat down, the other two witches brought them sparkling herbal tea. The liquid was as clear as amber, with a slight red color, and it tasted very sweet.

"You can try the kombucha we made recently." Shaking the wooden cup gently, Xiulin took a sip and then put down the cup.

The interior space of the wooden house is not divided by walls, it is a whole. A luminous sphere hangs in the middle, illuminating the log table below and the surrounding environment. The whole is not bright, but a little nostalgic and tipsy.

"Kombucha?" Mel asked curiously, then looked at the tea in the cup and sniffed it carefully.

"Yes, it's a kind of tea fermented by bacterial culture." Looking at the simple and innocent Mel, Xiulin showed a teasing smile on his lips.

"Ah." Hearing the other party's description, Mel was a little scared to drink. After all, in conventional education, most bacteria and fungi are manifestations of mess.

"It's okay. In fact, this is a very ancient fermented drink." Tilan comforted her companion beside her and took a small sip.

Seeing that Heshia was okay after drinking it, Mel cautiously drank a little.

"It's a bit sweet, doesn't seem bad?" she commented softly.

After the three people briefly introduced and exchanged pleasantries, the topic gradually turned to business.

"...So, you are here this time to win over our academy to support the fight between Edes and St. Ingo, right?" There was no emotion or anger in Xiulin's voice, making it difficult to guess her intentions. Thoughts, but as a singer, Tilan could still roughly feel that the person in front of her was in a calm mood, not angry.

"That's true, but what I personally hope is not a completely utilitarian cooperation." Tilan organized her words carefully. This was her first time negotiating with a big shot, and she was still a little stressed.

"Oh, then tell me, why is it not utilitarian?" Xiulin sat back in his chair and looked at the girl opposite him with interest.

"Because after defeating Saint Ingo, it will have many benefits not only for Eds, but also for the improvement of the environment of the entire star field." The girl said her thoughts.

Xiulin did not interrupt Tilan's words, but just let her continue speaking slowly, occasionally half-closing her eyes and tapping her fingertips on the table.

"...The above are my thoughts." After finishing speaking, Tilan became a little uneasy when she saw that Xiulin had not responded. She shook her head secretly, feeling that she still lacked some experience and could not be completely calm.

"Although I understand what you mean, I still want to remind you Heshia." Xiulin did not reply directly, but talked about another thing.

"If you use this attitude to convince other academies, I think it will be difficult and I won't see much hope."

"It is true that the principles and things you said are very good in theory, but in reality..." Xiulin waved his finger.

"There are too many unexpected and disturbing factors. For a force or organization like ours, a general contract is not binding. Anyone can hire a lawyer to fight a lawsuit for decades over a certain matter."

"Even if you fulfill your promise, the rewards of perfunctory and sincerity are completely different results. If you want to make mistakes in spoken words, there are too many ways to do it."

"I want to ask Heshia, can you really represent Eds Academy? Do you really understand the interest groups behind Eds Academy, their demands, their ingredients, their deep-seated purposes, etc., Will you really fulfill your promise?"

"If Edes Academy doesn't fulfill what you said, is there any way you can enforce it? If you can't do this, then what you just said is the same as a child's composition. In any sense.”

"Finally, it's back to the beginning. Since it's difficult to determine whether the two parties can continue to perform together, it's better to get some practical benefits from the beginning and be quick and quick, such as the injection of funds, the provision of special resources, etc."

"So I will ask you at the beginning, do you want to use money and power to win over our academy?" Xiulin replied.

Hearing these words, Heshia was silent for a while, and she was also thinking about how to solve this problem.

In her mind, this cooperation is not just about defeating Saint Ingo. In fact, she has a vague idea that she can use this opportunity to break the gap between the north and the south and reintegrate the forces in the entire star field so that they will no longer fight against each other. , working together can quickly restore the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory.

Seeing that Hesia was lost in thought, Xiulin did not continue to ask, but slowly drank tea and let her think quietly.

Time passed quietly, Mel looked at both sides carefully, not daring to speak, just sitting quietly, feeling slightly nervous for Hesia.

About a minute later, Hesia looked up again and looked at the big witch opposite.

"I am indeed still a little immature, and I don't have a mature way to solve this problem at the moment, but since Senior Xiulin pointed it out for me, you must have your own views and opinions on what you want me to change."

"So, can you just tell me what to do?"

Xiulin shook the wooden cup and reddish tea in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and slowly drank the liquid, then turned his eyes to the girl opposite.

"That's right, I do have some ideas, and only you can do it." There was a mysterious smile in her eyes.

"It seems you don't realize your own value at all, Hesia."

"Although you are not yet an adult, you are an official singer recognized by the federation. You were also the champion of the Winter Festival competition not long ago. You have been in the limelight for a while."

"The content and style of the three albums are all related to witches, and they must be accompanied by the logo of our school. These are my conditions." Xiulin stretched out his finger and made a sign with the number three.

"Our school, we can even say that the 'Witch Cult' needs to be revived. We need someone to promote it for us. We need to attract a large number of young people who long for witch culture. If it is a simple advertisement, basically no one will read or pay attention to it, but you will It's different now. You are now a walking spotlight, an idol worshiped by countless young people in the Star Territory. With your guidance, even if only 1% of the younger generation in the Star Territory is interested in the 'Witch Sect', it will be a handful. Millions of people, and I think you’re far more charming and attractive than that.”

"A group of people at Edes Academy are really old-fashioned and old-fashioned. They only want to defeat Saint Ingo in terms of strength, but they don't understand that young people are the future. Whatever they like, capital will flow to it, and whatever it is will develop rapidly. ."

“I think the order should be to first attract people and resources, and then develop quickly, rather than thinking about developing first and then attracting people and resources. The latter is too slow and uncertain.”

After listening to Xiulin's request, although Heshia did not completely agree with her statement, she also realized that this was indeed a feasible path.

"Three albums are not difficult, but if you want me to stand for the 'Witch Cult', I need to observe and think for a few more days." Heshia also said her decision, after all, she is not yet completely convinced of the 'Witch Cult' Understand that if there is something hidden in it, it means you have done something bad.

"No problem. In the next week, you can visit the academy as much as you like. The library and reference room are also open to you. If you are worried, you can even use the power of Edes to investigate our past and history. History." Regarding this, Xiulin was also extremely confident.

Although the 'Witch Sect' is somewhat in decline now, it has also been glorious in history. This is recognized by many people. There are no villains left behind and they are not afraid of this kind of investigation and research.

After making the decision, the atmosphere between the two parties became much more relaxed and close. Later, Xiulin asked Heshia some other questions, and by the way, he also taught her several simple and useful secrets of the 'Witch Cult'.

Afterwards, they talked for a while, and then the two said goodbye temporarily, and an older witch led the two to their temporary residence in the academy.
