Chapter 96: 95. Sophia's Melancholy
"So today's newspaper has arrived? Come on, let me see how everyone is praising me."
At the dining table, Dorothy suddenly noticed a stack of newspapers beside Sophia's hand. Her eyes lit up instantly, and with a wave of her hand, an invisible Magician's Hand brought the stack of newspapers over.
Witch Academy has a news agency, and this Little Alice Daily is the result of that news agency. It imitates the best-selling newspaper in the Witch World—the Witch Daily. In fact, the power behind Mo Yu News Agency in the academy is indeed the Witch Daily itself. Those Da Zui Wu Ya can directly join the newspaper as trainee paparazzi after graduation.
Of course, as for the truthfulness of the news reported by those Da Zui Wu Ya...
Well, let's just say those who know, know. Just read it for fun; anyone who believes it completely is an idiot.
But Dorothy thought about how she displayed such great power yesterday, single-handedly taking down the entire Armed Society. It was like a god descending. Even if those Da Zui Wu Ya embellished it a little, it shouldn't be too outrageous, right?
Hmm, I don't ask for much. Just praise how awesome I am.
Zhai Mo Nv thought this, and while using magic to simulate the habit of sipping dragon milk from the cup in front of her, she unfolded the newspaper in her hand.
Then...
"Pfft..."
Dorothy immediately spat out a mouthful of milk, almost drenching Sophia opposite her. Fortunately, Angel Witch seemed to have been prepared. The moment this young lady opened the newspaper, she had already pre-set a shield spell, so the thick, white, sticky liquid could only helplessly slide down the transparent shield, not defiling the Angel's sanctity in the slightest.
"Young lady, please cherish your food."
Although Sophia said this in a serious and stern manner, judging from her originally handsome and dignified phoenix eyes, which were now narrowed, she was secretly enjoying herself.
Clearly, she was already well aware of the contents of this newspaper.
"Nonsense! Those bird people are defiling my innocence! Can someone explain to me what's going on with this headline: 'Shocking! The Succubus President Faints on the Field with a Pleased Expression, and the Culprit is Her'?"
Opposite, Dorothy didn't even bother to wipe the white dragon milk from the corner of her mouth. She slapped the outrageous newspaper onto the table, her originally alluring peach blossom eyes wide open, making her look exceptionally cute for a moment.
"Emmmm, although those Da Zui Wu Ya's reporting style is usually like this, honestly, this time they didn't lie. On the contrary, it was quite factual."
Angel Witch elegantly held a napkin and gently dabbed her lips a few times, wiping away some residual dragon milk from the corners of her mouth. Due to the nourishment of the dragon milk, her already rosy cherry lips now appeared even more lustrous and alluring.
It's just a pity that the words spoken from such a beautiful small mouth were so hurtful.
"From a universally rational perspective, young lady, although you did win yesterday, you didn't win completely."
"Uh..."
Dorothy was stunned. She briefly recalled yesterday's match, but she had fainted right after the match, so she really had no impression of the final result now. She only knew that she had indeed won in the end.
Couldn't she have won only if the Succubus President was finally ORA-ed to death by her? How else could she have won?
"So, speak in plain language."
Dorothy looked at the enigmatic Angel opposite her with even more dissatisfaction, slamming the table again.
"Just look for yourself. Isn't there a recorded video below the newspaper?"
Sophia didn't answer. She merely covered her mouth with one hand like a lady, hiding her almost uncontrollable smile.
Dorothy: "..."
She lowered her head once more, looking at the newspaper in her hand.
Just like in the magic movie she watched in her previous life, newspapers in the Witch World also came with dynamic images, unlike mortal newspapers that only had static photos. Therefore, Dorothyquickly found the recording of yesterday's duel.
Impatiently, she directly dragged the video's progress bar to the end, then widened her eyes and watched carefully.
Hmm, there's nothing wrong with this. It's true that after her barrage of ORA-ing, the Succubus President finally rolled her eyes and fainted.
Is there anything unusual about this?
Doro looked up at Sophia opposite her, but Angel Witch still wouldn't speak in plain language.
"Young lady, please look closely."
Helpless, Zhai Mo Nv had no choice but to watch it again. This time, she watched it exceptionally carefully, not missing any detail, and so...
Ah, this...
Dorothy this time discovered the crucial point she had missed before.
Madeline's HP: 233 / 1.3w
Damn, why didn't her HP clear to zero in the end? There was still a sliver of HP left. Then how did she lose consciousness?
"Hahaha..."
Watching her young lady's suddenly bewildered expression, the Angel Witch opposite finally couldn't hold back. She burst into hearty laughter.
"Congratulations, you are the first Witch to make this Jade-Faced Asura, the Ice-Hearted Succubus, feel so pleasurable. To make a Succubus unable to bear so much pleasure and directly faint from it, it can only be said that it's truly you, my young lady. You are indeed very powerful."
Sophia hadn't been this happy in a long time. In her excellent mood now, she felt like she could eat a mountain of food just looking at her young lady's current frustrated expression.
Well done, Da Zui Wu Ya, you've got your funding for this year again.
Dorothy: "..."
Damn it.
Looking at Sophia, who was laughing very loudly opposite her, she opened her mouth to retort but didn't know how.
She could only suppress her anger and continue to look down at the newspaper. Then, the next item made her laugh.
"Hahaha, Sophia, have you finished reading this newspaper? This second page is also good."
She also laughed heartily, then kept staring at the top of the Angel Witch's head with a strange look.
Sophia: "..."
This newspaper had actually just arrived not long ago. She had only managed to read the headline on the cover and hadn't really looked at the rest. And now, the young lady's gaze immediately gave her an ominous premonition.
So, she immediately snatched the newspaper from the young lady's hand with a slap, then directly flipped to the second page.
The next moment, Angel Witch almost became a Fallen Angel.
On the second page, the headline was boldly written in large characters.
"President, if you love a wild horse, you must face the grassland directly. You must be strong!"
Damn it, you damned bird people, as long as I am the Student Council President for one more day, you won't get another penny of funding.
On this day, a terrifying pressure, as if a deity had descended, once again radiated from the top of Shining Tower throughout the entire academy, making countless Little Witch tremble with fear.
Angel Witch is shaking with cold.
It's indeed easier to write cheerful daily life scenes; fighting and such are too difficult. I'm relieved. Starting from the next chapter, I'll slowly push the plot.
