Otaku Witch

Chapter 260: 233. What are the benefits of moving bricks?

When three suns hung high in the sky, and time reached noon, Audrey, who had made herself inconspicuous, rode her broom to No.77 Malika Street in the sky island.

As Little Fox approached the sky island, she saw a golden figure, which was Senior Mia.

"Hello, Senior."

Audrey revealed herself and gracefully greeted with her Puppet.

Although this was a considerable challenge for her, who suffered from severe social anxiety, especially since her sister wasn’t by her side at the moment, it made Little Fox feel somewhat anxious.

Fortunately, Senior Mia was one of those rare people who wasn’t much interested in her beauty. Mia’s entire heart was devoted to her sister, which indeed made Audrey’s interactions much easier.

Moreover, since they were all going to be in the same club, they should get along well. So, even though she was very nervous inside, she still mustered the courage to greet.

"Hmm, good afternoon, Audrey."

Seeing the Fox Witch, who was both pure and desirous, and who managed to give off the feeling of an innocent girl despite her awkward movements, Mia showed a kind smile and replied cordially.

She didn’t dislike Audrey; in fact, she quite liked this girl. After all, such purely kind and simple girls were rare these days. As a big businesswoman, the cutthroat corporate world was exhausting, and seeing such a good girl truly seemed healing to her soul.

Well, that’s assuming the Little Fox wouldn’t be so unwise as to pester her Little Fairy constantly.

But no big deal; Mia was determined to win over the Little Fairy.

Even though Little Fox was indeed attractive and had a likable personality, the template of a dream first girlfriend that most people yearn for, a lasting relationship required more than just looks and personality.

The essence of marriage is a contract, a transaction, more like a partnership in a business. Thus, a marriage where resources complement each other and benefits are linked could be long-lasting and stable.

The Little Fairy was talented, and she was wealthy. This was the perfect complement, and the person standing beside Little Fairy in the future would definitely be Mia; the Golden Princess had no doubts about this.

So, while Mia felt a bit upset when she saw the other admirers around Little Fairy, she never panicked.

And Little Fox, unaware of what Senior Mia was thinking, also sighed in relief after seeing that gentle smile on her face.

Yay, Audrey, you’re the best; today you overcame your fear once again. Keep it up, your sister has created a great opportunity for you. You must make more friends in the club moving forward.

Behind Little Fox, her nine tails swayed, cheering herself on.

The socially anxious girl just wanted more friends.

Thus, with their own thoughts, they walked from the dock towards the interior of the sky island.

However...

As soon as they stepped into the sky island, the two witches were astonished to see two mountains of bricks moving. Both mountains were roughly the same size, each composed of about five hundred bricks, and beneath each mountain was a figure involved in moving the mountains.

However, although both were moving mountains, one person did it with ease, calm and composed, while the other gritted their teeth and looked ready to collapse.

"Hey, Sidwell, take it easy, you really don’t need to push yourself so hard,"

Dorothy looked worriedly at Miss Moon Rabbit beside her, who was clearly exhausted, soothing her this way.

She was so devoted because the witches possessed the power of evolution; by pushing themselves, they could evolve a specialty, but the Moon Rabbits didn’t have that ability, and Sidwell’s extreme efforts really put her at risk of injuring herself. Experience more content on Freewebnovel

The Heart of Hundred Refinements (r), being the most basic entry level of the Thousand Hammering and Hundred Refining specialty series, was relatively easy to obtain. She initially thought she might have to move all the bricks before evolving it, but in fact, the progress was much faster than she expected. She had only moved half, and the specialty had already evolved.

And at the moment the specialty evolved, Dorothy felt all her Six-Dimensional Attributes had improved to some extent, especially Strength, Speed, and Physique, which showed notable improvement.

Unfortunately, just the r-level basic talent was not enough to allow Dorothy’s attribute ratings to break through. Her three attributes remained at A, unable to reach S, but the homebody witch could clearly feel these three attributes were getting closer to that breakthrough point.

If her previous rating was A, now it should be considered A+. If she could advance further and obtain the Body of a Thousand Hammering (sr), she reckoned she might almost break through.

Unfortunately, the specialties in this series became harder to train the further one went. This time, she moved half the bricks to achieve Hundred Refinements, but that didn’t mean she could achieve Thousand Hammering by moving ten times as many; she estimated that doing this kind of exercise about a hundred more times might just be enough.

But charging back and forth a hundred more times after being fully fed wasn’t her primary goal. Her main goal was building, and training was secondary. Moreover, being a civil engineering witch, she would have plenty of opportunities to move bricks in the future; there was absolutely no need to rush it.

But while she found it easy, Sidwell found it anything but.

Moon Rabbits were not a strength-oriented race; they excelled more in Speed than Strength. If rated according to the witches’ attribute levels, Sidwell’s Strength might be at most a C, but her Speed could reach A.

Unfortunately, moving bricks tested Strength and Endurance, areas where the nimble advantages of the Moon Rabbits had no place.

Thus, despite Sidwell’s Moon Magic Power being a substantial 28w, over nine times that of Dorothy, when it came to pure physical strength, she was only about twice as strong as Dorothy.

Of course, based on physical fitness alone, Sidwell should have been able to move twice as many bricks as Dorothy, but in reality, the piles of bricks above their heads were about the same size.

This was the difference in skill in using one’s strength.

As a Martial Artist who had developed a Martial Soul, Sidwell’s Martial Arts were not weak; she could perfectly exert one hundred percent of her strength.

But in terms of Martial Arts alone, the legacy of the Moon Rabbit Clan couldn’t compare with the witches’ Combat Magic legacy, not to mention that Dorothy was learning the Dragon King Battle Technique, the highest level of Combat Magic among witches.

It was said that the Dragon King could deal damage ten times his strength with a single strike, but Dorothy could certainly not compare to the Dragon King, especially since she had "pirated" the Dragon King Battle Technique from Senior Mia.

Before receiving special training from her real mother, Dorothy used to be able to exert about one hundred and five percent of her strength, but now, after being specially trained by her mother daily for a month, it was embarrassing to say, but she had just barely reached a limit of two hundred fifty percent exertion, which wasn’t a huge improvement.

However, pushing to the limit was detrimental to the body and made it difficult to control the force accurately, and moving bricks relied on endurance, not explosive power, so she was actually restraining her strength now.

But speaking of which, applying the explosive-focused Dragon King Battle Technique to moving bricks was quite challenging. After all, she had to continuously burst without interruption, which increased her physical exhaustion and raised the difficulty of the operation a lot, refining her skills immensely; she had just mastered the technique after much trial.

And thus, the increased physical exhaustion helped her evolve the Thousand Hammering and Hundred Refining specialty, and the heightened difficulty gave her new insights into the Dragon King Battle Technique, which was quite beneficial.

"Alright, don’t be stubborn, pay attention to the flow of my magic power and follow my guidance to circulate your magic power."

Seeing Miss Moon Rabbit on the brink of her limit, Dorothy thought for a moment, then used Magic Condensing Thread to give Sidwell pointers all over her body.

And this scene was just witnessed by Mia and Audrey as they entered the room, leaving both witches stunned.

Mia: "Hiss, Dragon King Battle Technique Second Realm? But wasn’t Little Fairy just at the First Realm a month ago? Normally it takes at least a decade of hard practice to progress from the First to the Second Realm."

Audrey: "Ah, Magic Condensing Thread under Anti-Magic brick? Truly worthy of Senior, to have such a unique method for exercising Precision of magic power, learned something new indeed."

...both witches in shock...
