So I became a witch

I forgot my mission and my past, just like that, lost in nothingness where even the concept of time does not exist.

Just suddenly, the girl suddenly became tired of such a world.

It's too dark in here.she thinks.

Thus, there is light in the world.

------------------

Breathing is so heavy.

Like a drowning person, I desperately wanted to climb up, but my body fell uncontrollably, little by little, into the abyss.

"!!!!" Suddenly, I woke up.

I subconsciously coughed violently, trying to spit out the "sea water" that didn't exist in my throat.Of course, the result of doing so is naturally a waste of effort, and it also woke up the people around.

It was a girl who was about the same size as me, or a little smaller. Her bare limbs showed fair skin like metal, and her long silver-white hair was pressed under her body like a mattress. The eyelashes and the small mouth all show his inhuman temperament.

"Ariel?" I called out her name subconsciously.

The girl nodded and continued to look at me with her big eyes.

"Did you see Sith?" I looked around, but I couldn't see Sith's figure in this small room that looked like a ward.

Ariel shook her head and continued to look at me silently.

correct.I remembered...um.

As I fought back the severe headache, I recalled what happened before I lost consciousness.

Because of the excessive absorption of the witch's power, the witch seed in my body ran away, forming a "monster" with an empty witch's shell but no witch's reality.If Ling hadn't activated the power of the Emperor's Weapon at the end and reversed the time that happened to me, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous.

"..."

After that, I seemed to be kicked out of the world barrier and drifted in nothingness.In the end, Sith found me, took me and Ariel, and escaped from the place where the Four Witches were.after that……

I subconsciously pressed my hand on my chest, and at that position, something was jumping non-stop.

...Is that so, I failed.Even Shizu had to return to the state that had been lodged in my body several months ago because of exhaustion of power.

No, now is not the time to be depressed. After all, I still have things to do, so I can't stand still here.

That's right, I promised, no matter what, I will definitely save her.

I lifted the quilt, originally I just wanted to jump out of bed, but because of the sudden weakness, I fell directly under the bed.Ariel hurried over and helped me up from the ground.This made me realize once again that the current me, let alone a god-forbidden, is probably not even comparable to the physical strength of ordinary little girls.

……hateful.

I clearly promised to save her... But now I can't even protect myself, let alone save others.The power of the runaway witch not only took away my original strength, but also suffered a great impact on my mind and body, and now it is even difficult to practice again.Probably, even the dragon knight can't use it.

In other words—except for the indeterminate time bomb called "Witch Power", the current me has completely become a waste.

"...Damn it." I clenched my fist and thumped the bed quilt, but I couldn't make any waves, "Damn it!"

I can't do anything when facing the second witch or the fourth witch.Compared with such a supreme existence, I am really too weak.

Not reconciled.

The feeling of being powerless while hating my own weakness makes me want to vomit.

"...you're awake." The female voice from the door surprised me, and it was only then that I noticed that during the time I was awake, someone else had come to this room.

"... Charlotte?" I asked hoarsely.It seems that I finally managed to return to my own world.

Xia Luohua looked at me expressionlessly, and said after a long time: "...Since you wake up, come with me. The principal and the others want to ask you something, and they are with that girl named 'Ariel'. "

"Well, I see." I threw off Ariel's support, gritted my teeth, and walked towards the door step by step against the wall. Every step hurt like stepping on the tip of a knife, but I forced myself not to shout out. Noisily followed behind Xia Luohua.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't say a word, neither condolences nor inquiries, but just walked ahead silently, and I had to speed up my pace to keep up with her.

"...How long have I been back?" I finally couldn't help asking.

"It's been less than a day since you set off." Xia Luohua replied.

So, in the time of this world, only one day has passed?It seems that the distortion of time and space is more serious than I imagined.

"How did you find me?"

"...ancient battlefield." Xia Luohua cherished words like gold.

I froze for a moment, and immediately thought of the legend about the great war 400 years ago.In the area called "Ancient Battlefield", the demon hunter and the virtual beast fought the final decisive battle.If that battle was really related to the Four Witches, then it is not impossible for him to fall into the "Ancient Battlefield".

"and also……"

"...If you have anything to do, please talk to the members of the board of directors." Xia Luohua interrupted me neatly, and opened the door in front of me for me.

Presented in front of me was an extremely luxurious but solemn hall.In the center of the hall is a long semi-circular table, and there are no seats for the twelve seats.I instinctively realized that these people were the school management group of Rutias Academy, and they were also the real power holders in charge of the academy.

I glanced at the people present, there were people I knew and people I didn't know, old gentlemen and children who were slightly older than me, but without exception, everyone present The strength is very strong.

"Please sit down, classmate Luo Tianchen." The first to speak was the girl sitting in the middle of the long table, facing the door.Her face was covered with a light veil for some reason, so her appearance could not be seen clearly, but her voice sounded very young and clear, possessing the power to make people feel at ease.

I nodded and sat on a chair in front of the long semi-circular table, feeling like a prisoner in court.Xia Luohua did not leave, but leaned against the wall not far from me, staring at the girl in the center.

Chapter 2 trial

"Please relax, this is not about accountability. I'm sorry, originally, this meeting should have been held after you fully recovered, but the level involved this time is too beyond our imagination, so we have to do it here Please forgive me for summoning you under such circumstances." The girl said gently.

I nodded. In fact, it was only half an hour since I woke up, and the twelve school managers who were usually missing all sat neatly in their seats.If they hadn't been waiting here all the time, or arrived as soon as they got the news, it would have been impossible to gather in such a short period of time, which shows that they attach great importance to this matter.

"Then, let us first tell us about your experience. This morning, you, who were originally scheduled to go to world AS1049, lost contact during the teleportation, and because of that mysterious force, the gate of fantasy suffered Irreversible damage. Then, this afternoon, during the daily patrol, the members of the execution team accidentally discovered you who fell deep in the ancient battlefield, and the girl behind you, and there were still traces of crossing space nearby, and, We also detected some kind of terrible substance from your body. If it is convenient, can you tell me about what happened after you disappeared and reappeared?"

I was silent for a moment, and after sorting out the thoughts in my mind, I described my experience in Ed's world as briefly as possible, after removing my ulterior secrets, and then narrated it to everyone present.

"Hey! You mentioned Elvis just now, right!" Principal Ye He stood up excitedly, his eyes were full of burning anger, "That bastard...where is he now!"

"Calm down, this is in front of the children." Leo, who was sitting next to him, comforted him in a low voice.

"Unforgivable... Only that guy, I absolutely..."

"I'm sorry, please be quiet now." Leo's hand faintly glowed green, and he patted Yehe's waist lightly. Yehe's expression immediately froze, and he remained silent. He sat back on his seat, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice after a long time:

"...I'm sorry, I was too excited."

In fact, apart from Yehe, other members of the board of directors also whispered to each other after listening to my words, the expressions on their faces were much more serious than I imagined, it seems that my words were completely taken seriously by them This is something I didn't expect.

"Do you think it's impossible for us to believe a child's words?" the girl asked.

I nodded: "If it were me, I'm afraid there is no way to believe such a ridiculous statement all at once."

"It is true. But, have you ever thought that we have obtained a lot of evidence before this, and now we just want you to confirm it?"

"...Is it Ling and Ariel?" I immediately responded.Indeed, as long as there is a spirit, it is impossible for them not to see those records.

"Although a large amount of data was distorted due to the unsafe crossing of the world barrier, with the help of the girl behind you, our technicians managed to extract a lot of shocking information, including... ...the awakening of the Four Witches."

The audience was speechless.The entire conference hall was so quiet that even a needle could be clearly heard falling on the ground. Everyone was overwhelmed by the heavy meaning contained in the name.

"According to the ancient prophecy, since the birth of the original, the twelve witches who will eventually perish..." one of the school managers dressed as gothic lolita whispered, "The original zero, the omnipotent one, and the orderly one." Two, the third of condemnation... the eleventh of death. Is the witch who awakened this time the fifth among them? It's really not a funny joke."

"So, what should we do? Although the last little girl named 'Ling' fully activated the Emperor's Weapon, even the Aide clan, one of the Twelve Star Clans, could not completely seal that Existence, the seal maintained by her own power, I am afraid it will be broken in a short time, how much preparation can we make before that? Or should we just pray that the other party will not discover our world?" One of them was foolish The young man who killed Matt put his foot on the table casually and said.

"That's probably impossible. Although the child was extremely lucky to survive, the witch seems to have left her mark on her body. In other words, as long as she is still alive in this world, sooner or later, the witch will Come to me." The ol dressed as a female teacher pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said seriously.

"Then, if we kill her or just banish her from this world, can this problem be solved?" The young man said casually, with a flat tone as if he was just dealing with a meat animal.

"You, do you want to die?" Tina looked coldly at the young man who killed Matt, and the young man also looked back at her not to be outdone.

"I'm just thinking about this world. If killing me can kill the witch, it would be a good choice."

"You might as well try, but before that, please prepare to be an enemy of the Rockefeller family."

"You really value that child."

"Everyone, please calm down first. Even the enemy didn't see it, but your own people messed up first. It's unbecoming." The old gentleman who seemed to be the oldest among the crowd coughed lightly and said, "Please don't forget Our purpose, why did we come together and jointly founded this academy."

"...Hmph." The young man who killed Matt snorted coldly, turning his head away.

"It seems that the witch's awakening seems to be a foregone conclusion, but there is no need to be so pessimistic." The old gentleman continued, "Because, our hope has already appeared."

"You mean, 'Emperor'?" Sitting next to the old gentleman, Yu Jie, who was wearing a black dress, asked.

"That's right. Apart from the Star King, there is no other person in this world who possesses the light that can illuminate the universe. In fact, before that, the Academy of Stars did observe a wave that was far superior to ordinary witches. Suspected to be the power of a prophecy-level witch. However, after that, that power disappeared under the confrontation of another power. We have every reason to believe that the emperor rescued us from that crisis. "

"...Maybe that's true. But, until today, we haven't found that emperor, right?"

"There is no need to worry about this. The light of the Star King will always shine on her people and guide us in the direction of our progress. We only need to have hope in our hearts, and the future will come naturally."

Chapter 3 ends

The old gentleman's face is full of piety, which makes people think of those old people who have been worshiping in church all year round. This belief has been integrated into his life and has become an indispensable part.

But the more this happens, the more uncomfortable it is.

"I think it's better not to expect too much from that illusory emperor." Leo shrugged and said.

"Are you questioning the emperor's power?" The old gentleman frowned and looked at him slightly dissatisfied.

"That's not what I mean, I just want to remind everyone, don't forget the sacrifices and lessons we paid in the great war 400 years ago." Leo said lightly, "The war has never gone away... what we will face now , in all likelihood, it is the aftermath of that great war."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into a long silence.

"Is it going to start again... the war." A little girl sitting on the far right who looked similar to me in appearance and age sighed softly, as if mourning something, "This time, how many people will there be?" To die because of it... you, me, or all of them?"

"...I won't let this happen." Yehe whispered, on his face, I saw a solemnity and determination that I had never seen before, "The same wrong thing... must never happen again time."

"In short, the purpose of calling everyone here this time is just to inform about this matter, and we don't expect to get an answer right away. The specific measures need to be agreed upon later. By the way, Tina, the restoration of the Gate of Illusion How long will it take?" the girl asked.

"Because of the witch-level blow, although it is not the main target, I am afraid it will not be able to operate again within half a year."

"Half a year? I understand. In the end, it's about the decision between the two of you." The girl raised her head and finally set her sights on me.For some reason, even though she was covered with a veil, I seemed to be able to feel some complex emotions in her gaze, "First of all, classmate Luo Tianchen... from today, the indefinite suspension order will be implemented."

"Understood." I nodded.

"You don't seem surprised," said the girl.

"After all, my current body is completely useless. Don't talk about rebuilding the mortal world, I'm afraid I can't even compare with ordinary people. However, I thought I would be expelled directly, but it was just a suspension of school. ?"I said.

"Unless there are some special circumstances, the school will generally not revoke the student's student status. What's more, your injury this time is entirely due to the wrong judgment and decision made by the school. For this reason, on behalf of Lu Tiyas Academy, I sincerely apologize to you." The girl bowed her head and apologized.

"...No, it's just my own fault." I said softly.If it were someone else, I wouldn't be targeted by the second witch, and I wouldn't come to Ed's world if I didn't have the key... Everything is the result of my own fault.

"Although I don't know if it can be cured, the academy will try its best to treat you. During this period, I hope you can stay quietly in the academy to receive treatment."

"...Is this a kind of house arrest?"

"It's actually protection." The girl said seriously, "As for the person in charge, I'll leave it to Vice Principal Leo. If it's someone you know well, you can feel at ease."

As if to comfort me, Leo gave me a bright smile, but it made me even more uneasy.

"Sorry, I want to apply for a replacement..."

"Why?!"

"In that case, leave it to my family." Tina silently raised her hand and suggested, "At least from a security point of view, Rockefeller is no better than Rutias."

"Sorry, in terms of treatment level alone, I'm afraid no one can surpass Leo." The girl shook her head and rejected Tina's proposal, "As for the other person who is walking with you——Ariel, you can call it like this Do you?"

"……random."

"Although it is under such circumstances, please allow me, as a descendant of the Irene family, to pay the highest respect, Princess Ed."

"...That's already a thing of the past. The current Aide tribe has already become history."

"I'm afraid this is not the case - the specific reason can only be known after you have witnessed it with your own eyes. In fact, after learning of your existence, the Tool Clan, one of the existing twelve families, actually hastily sent out invite."

Ariel froze for a moment, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she shook her head after a while: "I want to be with her. I'm not going anywhere except here."

"Understood." The girl nodded, as if she already knew that she would answer like this, "Then, in order to protect your identity, you will enter this Lydias Academy as a transfer student to study, is that okay?"

"...Mmm." Ariel leaned closer to me.

The meeting finally ended peacefully like this. I thought I would be asked more things, such as how to escape from the witch's hand, and how to get in touch with the truth of that world. In the end, apart from a few simple questions, I Besides, there is nothing left.Maybe it's because of taking care of my body, or maybe it's because of other considerations, all in all, this is the result.

Although there are many questions I want to ask, such as what happened to the Great War 400 years ago, the matter of Ye Qianmo, and the whereabouts of the Star Crown, but judging from the atmosphere, now is not the right time to ask.But I didn't get nothing, at least judging from their reactions, it confirmed my previous conjecture that the great war 400 years ago was caused by the breath of the Four Witches from another world.It was also because of that great war that there was some kind of unknowable fusion between the two worlds.

"You can walk back by yourself." After leaving the venue, Xia Luohua, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally spoke out.

"Ah, it shouldn't be a problem." I was stunned for a moment and then replied, "And that one, sorry, you gave it to me before..."

"...It's nothing. Also, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." Xia Luohua said in a low voice.

"Hey?"
