Chapter 99: 98. The Status of an Academy Superstar
Leaving home, Dorothy carefully and stealthily flew with the lowest possible presence until she reached her destination—the Grand Library of Witch Academy.
The one in the Community Square earlier was just the True Sight Eye Club's recruitment office. The massive and magnificent library before her was their main headquarters. Although officially the library was school property, it was managed by their club.
While the True Sight Eye Club, with just over ten thousand members, was considered a medium-sized club, incomparable to giant clubs like the Armed Society with over a million members, their headquarters were surprisingly large—it was a massive floating island.
The size of floating islands in the Witch World generally had standards. Small floating islands were typically for residential use, with an internal area roughly equivalent to a noble's estate, equipped with various living and recreational facilities.
Medium floating islands were generally for commercial use. The headquarters of some Witch societies were of this size, with designated work areas, accommodation areas, commercial areas, and so on. Some larger medium-sized floating islands resembled small towns.
Above that, large floating islands were essentially equivalent to sky cities, usually only Witch Lords would need such a sky city as the center of their territory.
As for the legendary super-large floating islands, where one island was a world, those belonged to the military industrial field. They were strategic weapons equivalent to the Witch World's Warships, usually configured only by various Warbands, and ordinary Demonesses could not access them, so they could be ignored.
And now, a mere library actually had the scale of a large floating island. One could only say that this was truly Witch Academy, a scholar's paradise, a kingdom of knowledge, where there were so many books that a city was needed to house them.
However, Dorothy wasn't too surprised by this, after all, she was a regular at the Magic Web Library. This academy library was just a book city, while the Magic Web Library was literally a true mountain of books and a sea of knowledge, a world of knowledge.
Landing at the floating island's entrance port, Dorothy dismounted her broom, then adjusted her glasses, and checked the spells on her body to ensure no one noticed her. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and walk into the bustling library.
Due to the Space Extension Charm, the library's interior space was actually many times larger than what was visible from the outside. Moreover, the library was very crowded at this time. People filled the desks between the endless rows of bookshelves, yet despite this, the entire library was quiet, with very little noise.
Emmmm, this wasn't entirely because the Demonesses had high average quality and knew not to be loud in the library. It was purely because each desk in the library had a soundproof barrier around its edge. Even if you shouted inside, the sound wouldn't escape, not affecting the learning of those at neighboring desks.
Hmm, a pretty good design, it was originally meant to help people learn better, but in reality, its effect was slightly distorted.
Dorothy looked around and saw that most of the desks were occupied by two Little Witches in pairs, and although they held books in their hands, their heads were clearly emitting hearts. Are you telling me this is studying?
Tsk, as expected of Witch Academy's famous social gathering spot, a dating hotspot, with dog food everywhere.
However, this indeed stimulated the few genuinely single dogs who came to study, making their blood boil. They studied even harder, embracing the Thunder Cliff belief: "I will use your dating time to study twice as hard and become stronger, graduate and directly crush you normies, become your superior, and then give you hats."
Well, in short, this was a place that made people's blood boil in various ways.
It was a pity that none of this concerned Dorothy. She went straight to the point, arriving at the library counter, and slightly increased her presence towards the librarian sister behind the counter.
"Hello, I'm looking for Diana. Could you please notify her for me?"
The librarian sister opposite was clearly a standard True Sight Eye Clubmember: a silver-rimmed glasses girl. Although her appearance was only very beautiful, her intellectual and serene temperament added a lot of points.
However, the librarian sister's reaction upon seeing Dorothy made Zhai Mo Nv a bit overwhelmed.
Because Dorothy had been suppressing her presence, the librarian sister hadn't noticed her at first.
It wasn't until Dorothy spoke and increased her presence that the sister suddenly looked up. And when she clearly saw the rustic-looking Witch in front of her, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a long fringe styled into a braid, the sister's mouth rounded in surprise, then she excitedly covered her mouth with one hand, speaking with a stuttering voice.
"Ah, hiss... It's you. I... I'll go call the president right away."
Indeed, she looked like a fanatic seeing her god descend, so excited she couldn't control herself.
"Um, may I please ask for your autograph? Ah, please forgive me if I'm being presumptuous... If not, then forget it, I'll go get the president for you now."
The librarian sister was about to leave, but then turned back pitifully and asked so humbly.
Dorothy: "..."
She, who had always considered herself an ordinary Little Witch, was treated this way for the first time and was somewhat flustered. However, at this time, it was usually best to just smile.
So, Zhai Mo Nv slightly pulled down the scarf covering her chin, revealing a smile, and nodded.
"Hmm, of course. Where should I sign?"
"Sign here, um, no, these are library books, so please just sign here."
The librarian sister, who never expected her presumptuous request to actually be granted, was instantly overcome with joy and a bit overheated. She had subconsciously handed over the book she was reading, but then remembered it wasn't hers. Yet, she couldn't think of anything of her own to sign on, so she simply puffed out her chest and pointed to her swaying magic robe, saying.
Dorothy: "..."
Hmm, it's quite big, ah, Pooh
And the librarian sister quickly realized what she had just said. Her face instantly turned red, and steam billowed from her head. This time, her brain was truly overheating.
There was nothing she could do. After all, these academic overachievers, seen as bookworms by ordinary people, were not very good at social interaction. Now that she had made such a fool of herself, the sister had the urge to commit suicide on the spot to atone.
"Ah, this, please forgive me, I really didn't mean to offend you, wuwuwu, I'd rather die..."
Seeing the sister, who was so anxious that tears were streaming down her face and was gesticulating wildly, trying to explain something, actually pull out a short magic wand and press it against her chin, Dorothy was greatly alarmed. She quickly cast a Disarming Charm, then took the disarmed wand and pointed it at the sister's chest.
The next moment, a small imprint of a Little Witch riding a broom appeared on the chest area of the sister's magic robe.
This was Dorothy's personal mark, roughly equivalent to her signature. After all, a Witch's true name should ideally not be revealed, especially in her situation where it was inconvenient to disclose her true name.
"Is this okay?"
Dorothy returned the sister's magic wand to her, trying her best to comfort her.
"Mm-hmm, I will treasure this dress for life. This will be my family heirloom. Thank you, Miss."
Watching the overjoyed librarian sister's retreating back as she went to make the announcement, Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It really is more comfortable to be an ordinary Little Witch. This feeling of being a well-known person is truly not good.
She thought to herself.
And then...
And then the previously quiet library suddenly became restless. From where the librarian sister had disappeared to make the announcement, a group of ravenous academic Demonesses surged out. The sight was like zombies unleashed, with strange creatures everywhere.
Dorothy: "..."
Ah, this. Do wings automatically increase these days? I didn't have this many wings last time?
Little Witch's wings are growing wildly...
Wuwuwu, another blind date tonight, so annoying. Women only slow down my typing speed, hinder my path to becoming a great author, they are obstacles to my career. Why don't my parents understand this principle? So tired.
