Chapter 237 211. Sophia's Melancholy
Meanwhile, at the Witch Academy, the student council.
Sophia was still diligently working, as the festival of Witch's Night was just a few weeks away, making the student council's recent affairs quite busy and the workload had significantly increased.
Even though, as the Angel Witch, she was very proficient in handling official matters with high efficiency, she could barely finish her work by the end of the day, and the other members of the student council had been overtime these days.
If it had been before, Sophia might not have been so eager to finish work; she would have chosen to work overtime with the rest of the student council members, as it would help to improve her relationships with them and deepen the respect for her position as the Student Council President.
High popularity and prestige were things she had always pursued; after all, having nothing else to choose from, she could only do so whether to realize her dreams or to repay her teacher's kindness. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
Even though she deeply detested her identity as an Angel Witch, she ultimately enrolled under that identity and cleverly climbed her way up to the throne of the Student Council President.
That's the kind of person she was, to achieve her goals, she would make use of everything around her, even if some things made her feel so disgusted she wanted to vomit just looking at them.
In this regard, she and the lady of her house were at two extremes, so she couldn't understand why the lady, having a large enterprise built by the teacher, chose not to inherit it and, despite the teacher's anger, insisted on making her own way.
She just thought this lady must have something wrong with her brain.
But who made her the teacher's daughter? The favored ones are always fearless; she could be capricious since, even if she messed up, the teacher would cover for her, but Sophia couldn't.
The year the teacher adopted her, it had already caused quite a bit of trouble, and Sophia didn't want to bring any more burdens to her teacher because of herself; she could handle her own issues.
If it were someone else, she wouldn't hesitate to use them, but the teacher was the only light in her life.
"So I'd better finish the work quickly and go back to take care of the lady,"
Thinking of the addition of another person she couldn't make use of, and one who often caused her trouble and increased her workload, Sophia sighed inwardly.
She really didn't get along with this lady.
With that thought, the Angel Witch shook her head and casually filed a document into the drawer of her desk.
The moment the drawer closed, the name of the document became visible.
"On the Application for the Reversal of Closure of Tennyson Academy..."
"Soon, right after the Witch's Night, when I get that treasure, it will be time to settle things with you, dear father," she thought to herself as Sophia resumed her work.
Just.....
As Sophia immersed herself wholly in her work, a sudden disturbance outside the office made her furrow her brows.
"Damn, impressive."
"Everyone come check out the magic in the campus forum..."
"As expected of the lady, always pulling off something different..."
.....
Such exclamations continued to resonate in the outer student council office.
Initially, Sophia was somewhat angered, as they were all so busy with work, and they still had time to slack off and look at what in the campus forum?
But then, on hearing the word 'the lady', the Angel Witch indeed suddenly paused, feeling an ominous premonition.
Could it be, what is the lady up to now? Wasn't she supposed to be scouting locations for the clubs today? It's just renting a place, how could there be any issues?
Sophia didn't know what to say at the moment, but she decided to check the campus forum first.
Just like that, the Student Council president, who never slacked off, started her life's first day of slacking off at work with a heavy heart. She complexly swept away the small mountain of pending files on her desk, then took out her Spellbook, opened it, and logged onto the Magic Web Campus Forum.
Then, she immediately saw that homepage's top live stream, "On Why the Missy is a Goddess? The Missy's Creation of the World..."
Watching the live stream, where it seemed like a Creator God reshaping a dead world, Sophia fell silent for a moment.
My dear Missy, please don't tell me this world is the club venue you found?
After a long while, the Angel Witch looked up at the ceiling.
"Teacher, this task you've given me is really too difficult, I really can't keep an eye on your precious daughter," she said.
....
Boom, boom, boom...
The deep bell that echoed throughout the entire campus rang—it was Witch Academy's dismissal bell, signaling the end of the day.
After experiencing another super-long-distance teleportation, a pale-faced Dorothy was finally able to return to the Tower of Shine smoothly with the support of Senior Mia and Audrey.
"Thank you for today," she said.
Stumbling to the balcony on the top floor, Dorothy thanked Senior Mia and Fox Junior.
"No worries, we had fun too," they said.
Mia and Audrey waved their hands too, and the three of them each returned to their own dormitories.
As for Alice...
Well, the poor little witch still hadn't managed to move into the Tower of Shine. She was recently hard at work tutoring herself for theory classes, striving to climb up the academy's credit rankings. The little witch was genuinely striving, having recently made it into the top 1500, which was very close to the top 999 required for residency eligibility.
"Phew, I just made it back in time; there's still time, Sophia gets off work in half an hour, I can still make it for dinner," Dorothy remarked as she pulled out her pocket watch to check the time, feeling relieved.
Although she hadn't done anything guilty, just thinking about her roommate, the Homebody Witch, made her feel somewhat guilty for no reason.
"Guilty about what? I just recruited a batch of Servant Army, so what? As a witch, isn't it completely reasonable for me to keep a Servant Army? It's just..." Dorothy tried to muster courage in her mind, but thinking about it made her feel guilty again.
After all, she was still a student officially, not yet qualified to recruit a massive Servant Army—and this time, she might have recruited just a tiny bit too many. Of course, this wasn't totally unacceptable, as long as someone influential from the academy could vouch for her a bit, the procedure could still be managed.
And the academy bigshot she knew...
Right, tonight she'd have to bring out her real skills, serve her roommate well first, making sure she was absolutely satisfied.
Even though she was still suffering from the after-effects of the teleportation debuff, the Homebody Witch still rolled up her sleeves and got fired up.
It was just...
No sooner had she opened the balcony door than she saw Sophia sitting on the living room sofa with a serious expression.
Dorothy: "...."
Ah, how come she got off work so early today?
...Inside, the Homebody Witch panicked...
