“So, Miss, are you inviting us to this meeting because you want us to defeat the president together and settle her betrayal?”
After a long time, someone spoke up.
Dorothy followed the voice and saw that it belonged to a beautiful witch with purple hair, who was wearing a star-studded astrological robe.
She was tall and slender, with a beautiful visage, and especially the mole on her chin added a bit of mystery to her already elegant aura, a perfect example of a mature lady fitting the Homebody Witch archetype.
Since Senior Christina had previously introduced her to the leaders of the academy’s major societies, Dorothy recognized the identity of the questioning mature lady at a glance.
The club president of the Akasha Record, ranked fifth in the academy—Elaina.
The Akasha Record is a very special society, as it is only open to witches of the School of Prophecy, meaning all of its members are Prophecy Witches.
It is well known that the School of Prophecy is one of the Nine Major Schools that is the most reliant on Talent, a faction where only genius witches with both top-level Talent and intelligence can thrive.
Therefore, in terms of the average quality of its members alone, aside from Dorothy’s own Witch’s Home society, the Akasha Record is absolutely invincible.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Prophecy Witches are genuinely rare, leading to the Akasha Record typically maintaining a membership of around a hundred, they wouldn’t be ranked only fifth among the societies.
Keep in mind that the other nine in the top ten societies often have membership in the tens or hundreds of thousands.
To be able to stand on equal footing with those large and even super-sized societies with only a hundred members, and even rank within the top five, really shows how powerful the Prophecy Witches are.
Indeed, these destiny manipulators are truly formidable and not to be trifled with.
Dorothy looked seriously at Senior Elaina and could tell from the other’s still slightly trembling demeanor, who appeared to be struggling to keep her emotions steady, that her feelings at this moment were far from as calm as she presented.
This was perfectly normal, after all, if anyone in the academy was the most ardent fan of Sophia, it was certainly the Prophecy Witches of the Akasha Record, for the Pure White Witch Leader is the current chief of the Divination Department in the academy; before being elected as the Student Council President, she was the club president of Akasha Record.
For the Witches of the Akasha Record society, Sophia was not only the former president but also a mentor and friend who frequently guided them in the secrets of the School of Prophecy.
Now, upon learning the truth, the most unable to accept it were them.
After all, Dorothy even noticed a hint of tears in Senior Elaina’s eyes; the other was on the verge of crying.
“No, Senior Elaina, there’s something I need to correct.
Sophia has not betrayed us.
I’ve gathered everyone indeed to form a team, but not for retribution against her; instead, it’s to save her,”
the Homebody Witch shook her head and said earnestly.
“What???”
Senior Elaina, still struggling to accept reality, was suddenly taken aback, her head full of question marks before eagerly asking for clarification.
“Miss, what do you mean by that?”
“I mean just the literal sense of my words.
Although Sophia is the daughter of the Lord of Glory and now the commander on the side of Angels, she has not betrayed witches.
She simply had no choice,”
Dorothy shrugged her shoulders and spoke candidly, then she turned the question to the others.
“After all, you don’t believe that faced with an existence like the Lord of Glory, Sophia would really have the freedom to make her own choices, do you?”
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall relaxed slightly.
“Phew, you scared me.
I thought the president really did betray us.”
“Yeah, Miss, can you not say everything all at once next time?
I was about to panic just now.”
“Indeed, I was about to cry.
The president has always been my idol.
If she really betrayed us, then I would no longer believe in love.”
….
The Witches let out a sigh of relief, then collectively reprimanded the Homebody Witch for her insensitivity.
Dorothy, in response, spread her hands wide, looking innocently defensive.
“I never said Sophia betrayed us; you all made that up on your own.
In the end, you’re still unable to accept the bloodline of the Lord of Glory within her.
So, I want to ask, who is it that you truly admire and love: Sophia as a person, or her bloodline and identity?”
The Homebody Witch questioned the hearts of the Witches quite inconsiderately.
As a result, the just-eased atmosphere became tense once again, and the Witches below started to furrow their brows in thought.
While they did respect and love the president, all of that was under the premise that she was one of their own kind.
But now, the president was no longer a pure witch, she carried the bloodline of the enemies of witches—so could she still be trusted?
Regarding this question, everyone’s mindset varied.
“I believe in the president.
Whether she is a witch or an angel, the president is still the president.
Her past help to me is a fact that I will not forget.”
“I don’t think it’s acceptable.
Although I still respect the president, the old adage stands: ‘A wolf in sheep’s clothing is still a wolf.’ I am even starting to question whether all her past actions were just an act.”
