Otaku Witch

"Eat up, all the dishes are ready. Why aren't you all eating?"

Dorothy noticed the somewhat solemn and dreary atmosphere and hurriedly broke the silence.

She turned her head to look at the Angel Witch beside her, somewhat surprised that the latter actually commanded quite a bit of prestige, even earning a measure of respect from Senior Mia.

However, Dorothy thought herself blind to the obvious, living under the same roof with Sophia every day, and being called a young lady by her so often, she really didn't feel that her housemate had any authority.

But Dorothy, who often browsed the academy forums, noticed that other students addressed her with respectful titles such as "president," which showed the high status and reputation of the Angel Witch at the academy.

Put it this way, despite Dorothy's title as the young lady being renowned throughout the school, her current glory was something Sophia had once enjoyed. In the academy, the support group for the Pure White Witch was definitely several times larger than that for the young lady.

After all, if one thinks about it, the young lady's fame originated from riding on the coattails of the Student Council president's popularity; it was Sophia's antics on report day that had turned Dorothy into a campus celebrity in the name of the young lady.

Realizing this, Dorothy looked at the Angel Witch beside her and felt that she indeed seemed very impressive.

She was attractive, powerful, talented, had extraordinary leadership, and was impeccable in handling affairs, almost a perfect protagonist setup like Long Aotian from anime and novels, without a single flaw.

It was only natural for someone like that to be adored and respected by others.

Unfortunately...

Dorothy recalled Sophia's hidden past she had just learned from Hat Senior Sister, and couldn't help but frown.

She suddenly realized that no matter how hard the Angel Witch worked, no matter how perfect she was, once her background was exposed, the more respected she was now, the more despised she would be.

Evil people are easily forgiven for one good deed, as there are always some people who voluntarily absolve them. But by the same token, perfect people who make one wrong step can be vilified, ruining all their prior achievements.

This is human nature.

"Forget it, why am I thinking so much about this, Sophia's background is a secret, how could it be leaked so easily."

The Homebody Witch shook her head, casting aside these stray thoughts.

Then she reached out and patted the Angel Witch on the back, pushing her toward the table.

"Alright, Sophia, you're the last to arrive, come and say hello to everyone, we're all family here."

The Angel Witch, however, looked at her own young lady with a somewhat helpless expression.

Young lady, your concept of 'family' is really worthless, finding it everywhere.

Though she had a minor internal complaint, Sophia still raised her glass and put on the business smile she wore in her role as president.

"Thank you all for taking care of my young lady during this time."

It must be said that although the Pure White Witch always kept a cold face in front of Dorothy and was full of disdain, once she switched into business mode, her charm instantly skyrocketed.

Her exquisite face coupled with a perfect smile, plus the natural high affinity of an angel, instantly gave off a refreshing feeling like the warmth of spring.

Only...

"There's no need for that, president. For my Little Fairy, all that is only right and proper," replied Senior Mia with a smile beaming across her face.

And so, the gazes of the Pure White Witch and the Golden Princess met—both faces were all smiles, but the atmosphere suddenly surged with a hint of gunpowder.

Sophia furrowed her brows, seriously looking at the Golden Princess opposite her. Although the two of them had known each other for a while, there wasn't much interaction between them in the past. It seemed like this was their first time sitting together at a gathering.

Previously, when the young lady went to the Armed Society to cause a scene, the future mistress of the Golden Country abruptly confessed her feelings to the young lady. Sophia was quite curious about their relationship back then, and later, through the Magic Web, she found out that the Golden Princess and her own young lady had known each other for years as online friends through the Magic Web Duels.

However, when the scene was previously caused, Sophia did not really feel anything about the Golden Princess's confession to her young lady, but now...

Alright, she still didn't feel anything now since her young lady's romantic debts had nothing to do with her. The rumors of her being involved with the young lady were just nonsense spouted by those big-mouthed Crows from the news agency.

But...

Wasn't Senior Mia going a bit too far? Even if my relationship with the young lady was fake, this is the second time you've flirted with my nominally live-in girlfriend right in front of me. Do you simply not reckon me worth considering?

After all, Sophia had grown up by Mother Dragon's side, and she inevitably adopted some of Mother Dragon's uncompromising and domineering ways. She could overlook it the first time, but this second time...

Anyhow, Sophia was starting to feel a bit displeased.

And on this matter, Senior Mia was not backing down either.

Although the Student Council President was someone she had watched rise step by step, Mia had witnessed her maneuvers and progress over the years, which made her feel inferior. Proud as she was, it was rare for her to admire someone, but in this academy, there had been two people who had caught her eye.

The first was the former Club President, the Succubus Witch Madeline. Her passion and diligence for the Combat Magic System had moved Mia, prompting her to voluntarily step down from her position as the former president of the Armed Society to make way for Madeline.

And the second was the Student Council President.

In fact, Mia had never really thought highly of these Angel Witches, as in her opinion, as the most ancient witch clan, this group of God King's kin had gradually degenerated over the eons.

After all, where could you see the demeanor of the God King's kin among the current Angel Witches? They were all a bunch of fools always talking about divine nonsense, incessantly preaching about the God King's glory as if their ancestors were notable.

Despite being the oldest witch clan, the current strength of the Angel Witches now lagged far behind the Demon Witches and the Dragon Witches. They only maintained their top-three status by relying on the legacy left by the God King. It had been years since any notable newcomers had emerged from their clan.

The God King had granted glory to the Angel Witch Clan, but the descendants, blinded by this glory, were wholly fixated on following in the God King's footsteps, eager to replicate his path to greatness without understanding that imitating others leads to lifelessness, while learning from others leads to survival.

The path of the God King – was it one that ordinary people could walk? Did these wasteful descendants really deserve to? They truly didn't know their own worth.

In other words, they had high aspirations but little substance, with arrogance exceeding their abilities.

It's said that researching the Power of Faith too much among the angels could drive one mad, and it seems to be true. These Angel Witches have gone crazy with their proselytizing. The original purpose of the God King establishing the God King Sect was to facilitate better use of the Power of Faith for the descendants, but now the Angel Witches have become mere Puppets of the God King Sect, lost in their belief in the God King.

These truths were clear to see for outsiders, but unfortunately, the Angel Witches, being the involved parties, were blinded. Only a minority of wise individuals within could see the problems clearly, with the majority of the Angel Witches on the wrong path.

But this Student Council President Sophia was different. She was one of the rare clear-headed Angel Witches. Her stature and strength were not gained through the God King's glory. While her identity as an Angel Witch indeed offered her certain conveniences, most of her achievements came through her own efforts.

As a senior who had entered the academy years before her, Mia had watched Sophia grow bit by bit. She had put herself in the president's shoes and wondered whether she could have done equally well. The ultimate answer was that she felt inadequate in comparison.

This generation of Angel Witches had indeed produced an exceptional talent. Furthermore, there were rumors that the Academy Head intended for the president to succeed him. If true, then perhaps the Angel Witch Clan could be revived under her leadership.

Therefore, Mia held a certain respect for the president.

But it was just respect, nothing more. She wasn't conceding to the president, especially since her Little Fairy was the president's rumored girlfriend.

Fortunately, the Little Fairy herself had already cleared up and explained the rumors, so Mia had nothing to fear.

The love affairs of the Dragon Witches are simple and straightforward. If there's love, nothing else is a problem.

It didn't matter that the Little Fairy and the president were only rumored to be involved; even if it were true, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, the Golden Princess's shovel was quite effective.
