So I became a witch

I barely moved the corners of my mouth, revealing a smile uglier than crying.

"...goodbye...my, hero." Ling gently wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, the figure turned into countless light spots and dissipated, and everything about the ceremony that she left behind also became Pure information, pouring into my head.In a blink of an eye, I was the only one left in this pure white space.

I closed my eyes, not having time to be sad, while flipping through the content of the ceremony, I called out for the existence of the Star Crown in my heart, just like what I did on that bloody land, only this time...

I want to be the emperor.

Chapter 1 March

Lydias Academy.The time has come to March 2017, and the entire archipelago bid farewell to the snow-covered winter and ushered in a spring full of vitality.

It has been more than a month since the last battle.Fortunately in the misfortune, although that battle caused the most serious damage since the Great Abyss War 400 years ago, with the concerted efforts of the God Forbidden, the dark monster that caused all this was quickly defeated, and Miraculously, none of the demon hunters died in this battle. After a period of recuperation, they returned to their respective posts alive and well, and everything seemed to be back on the normal track.

...except for one person.

"Then, that's the end of today's morning class. Students who have classes later can go to the multimedia classroom by themselves, and students who don't have classes can arrange their own time." The girl standing in the classroom swept around the Student, said pretending to be serious, but the blush on her cheeks still revealed her hungover posture.

"... Teacher, she didn't go drinking all night again last night, did she?"

"...It looks like this, the smell of alcohol is still around her body, she doesn't seem to be awake at all."

Sophia and Mo Yuling in the audience whispered to each other, unaware that the girl had arrived in front of them both, and patted their heads gently.

"Ah Pain! X2"

"I'm so rude, teacher, I'm an elf, no matter how much human wine you drink, you won't get drunk?" The girl who claimed to be an elf said with a smile.In fact, as one of the few star-spawners in Rutias Academy and concurrently serving as the head teacher of the tenth freshman class, she does have a charming face like a fairy in the literal sense, but she looks like a perennial drunk , It really reduced the desire of others to get close to the girl a lot.

"...That, Teacher Ling!" Andrea, who was sitting in the back row, stood up suddenly from her seat and said nervously.

"Oh, didn't I say that you just need to call me Qianmo or Momo?"

"……teacher!"

"Okay, do you have any questions? Classmate Andrea." Under Andrea's eager pressure, Ling Qianmo shrugged and finally became more serious.

"That...about the whereabouts of classmate Luo Tianchen, isn't there?"

As soon as her words fell, the whole classroom suddenly fell into silence. Even Mo Yuling, Sophia and the others who had been playing tricks stopped their movements and turned to Teacher Ling Qianmo's direction.

"...I remember you asked this question not long ago, right?"

"but!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, the school has actually sent a rescue team, and once they find Luo Tianchen's whereabouts, they will report it immediately, no matter how anxious they are, it's useless?" Ling Qianmo said soothingly to the girl.

"But..." Andrea bit her lips tightly.For some reason, since that day, she has been feeling uneasy, as if something bad is happening quietly in a corner she can't see.

"Don't worry, the child is fine. After all, we have received a report of the child not long ago... ah." Ling Qianmo covered his mouth with a bad expression on his face, as if he had missed something. look.

"Hey! Is that true?!" Andrea rushed in front of Ling Qianmo aggressively, and asked in a posture that was almost close to her face.

"Well, because it involves some confidential information, there is no way for ordinary students to know it, so I concealed it... Anyway, the child did survive the battle without incident, that's it. The above content , it’s not easy to disclose it to you.”

"So that's it, it's sister Sister Guan, right?" Luo Yuze, who was sitting by the window without saying a word, suddenly said.

"Hey? Isn't it? Why do you know?!"

"It's just a guess, because I accidentally saw that person enter the meeting hall in a hurry after returning to school. It seems that something terrible happened." Luo Yuze said lightly.

"You are really as sharp as ever, student Luo Yuze." Ling Qianmo smiled wryly.

"Teacher!" Andrea shouted excitedly.

"Ah, stop here. I'm sorry. Extra information is absolutely forbidden to be leaked, so let's stop here." Ling Qianmo said firmly in an unquestionable tone. Yadu froze for one.Taking advantage of this short gap, she left the classroom in a swift motion, leaving behind everyone who was quiet.

"That, that, I think since the teacher said that, student Luo Tianchen should be fine..." Aurora, a beautiful girl who had been sitting in the corner of the classroom shivering like a small animal, broke down in a low voice. Stiff atmosphere.

"Hmph, after all, that's our master, how could something happen so easily!" Lulu said.

"I'm even more curious about what kind of incident Luo Tianchen was involved in, so much so that the teacher kept silent about it." Sophia said.

"Ah, Weiwei is curious too!"

"Then, do you want to investigate together?" Luo Yuze said lightly after putting down the book in his hand.

"Oh, are you really going to sneak into the confidential archives room? In that case, I..." Mo Yuling said excitedly, but was immediately interrupted by Fei Yuanwen.

"Idiot, didn't you listen to what I said just now? Since you want to find out Luo Tianchen's whereabouts, apart from the teacher who was given the password, you must naturally look for the source of first-hand information." Fei Yuanwen said angrily.

"so?"

"Go to Auntie Guan, she should have a lot of information there."

"Oh~~~~" Everyone uttered a unanimous cry.

"Anyway, since we are looking for dormitory supervisors in the girls' dormitory, we boys will pass directly." Fei Yuanwen waved his hand impatiently, and Steve, a muscular man sitting beside him, also nodded approvingly .

"Okay, then you two, you must take good care of the base, absolutely no outsiders are allowed to enter!" Mo Yuling gave the order with her hands on her hips.

"No, no one would come to such a place at all." Fei Yuanwen complained.

"Don't worry, when we come back, we will tell you the whereabouts of classmate Luo Tianchen!"

"Huh? Why do I have to care about that fake loli?"

"Hmph, Xiaowen is really arrogant."

"It's so noisy! If you want to leave, hurry up and don't disturb others here!"

The six of them left the classroom in this way and headed back towards the dormitory.

"Speaking of which, I remember you still have class in the morning?" Sophia, who was walking in the front, chatted with Mo Yuling by the way.

Chapter 2 Gathering

"Huh? Is this the case?" Mo Yuling asked back.

"... I should be concerned about my credits." Sophia said.

"It's okay, it's okay, because Xiaochen's side is more important, so it doesn't matter at all!" Mo Yuling said.

"Actually, you're just looking for a reason to skip class... Well, forget it. However, since even the teacher forbids it to be leaked, I don't think the dorm manager will tell us so easily?" Sophia said.

"Well, there is always a way anyway." Mo Yuling said.

"You're really optimistic. Well, anyway, I just happen to have some information. If it's really not good..." Sophia paused intentionally.

"If not?" Mo Yuling asked curiously.

"...Well, keep it secret for the time being." Sophia hid it and didn't continue talking, but immediately changed the subject, "Speaking of which, have you heard of the phenomenon of ghosts happening in various parts of the world recently? ?”

"Ah, it's about those people who suddenly disappeared without a trace about a month ago." Andrea said.

"That's right, after the investigation of the demon hunters, it was found that there was no trace of the activities of the disaster beast or the witch behind this incident. In other words, they evaporated out of thin air by themselves. Don't you think it's quite weird?" Sophia said mysteriously Said.

"Well, the sinner who was swallowed by the flames of the abyss, the karma of reincarnation..." Lulu covered her eyes and murmured in a low voice.Everyone was not surprised by her behavior in the second grade, and directly chose to ignore it.

"I heard that 400 years ago, on the eve of the outbreak of the Dayuan War, a similar 'spiritual disappearance phenomenon' also appeared." Luo Yuze, who had been silently following behind everyone, said suddenly.

Sophia glanced at her quite unexpectedly: "Ah, it's a good thing you know the term 'Great Abyss War', in fact, most people only know that there was a war that swept the entire world of demon hunters in the past. Great War, but its very existence itself is unknown."

"It's nothing, I just read it from a book." Luo Yuze said lightly.

"...Hey, that's right." Sophia said meaningfully, "Well, just like Luo Yuze said, similar things happened 400 years ago, so recently The wind and the sea are calm, but the dark waves are already surging, and we regard it as a harbinger of another war, and we are preparing for what may happen."

"Huh? Are you going to fight?" Mo Yuling tilted her head in confusion.

"... War, I hate it." Aurora, a beautiful platinum-haired girl from Russia, murmured to herself, hugging Sophia's side tightly.Although everyone has been getting along for several months, and her relationship with other classmates is no longer as strange as it was at first, but

"It's just a possibility. In short, please be careful. Although it is almost impossible for us, who are only mortals, to be sent to the front line, there are accidents in everything, so please be careful." Sophia smiled slightly.

"You don't seem to be nervous at all." Luo Yuze said.

"Hmph, that's just an appearance on the surface. In fact, I'm always asking for news. If there is any trouble, I will decisively choose to run away." Sophia said confidently.

"It's a shame that you can justify your escape... Forget it, since we're talking about what happened 400 years ago at this moment, it probably has something to do with what we're going to do in the future, right?"

"Ah, you are indeed classmate Luo Yuze, and you are still as sharp as ever. If that's the case, there's no point in hiding it any longer. Who calls us companions?" Sophia said.

"Well, what Sophia and Luo Yuze said, could it be..." Andrea frowned and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Our sleeping sister, it seems, is the one who witnessed the war 400 years ago?" Sophia said slowly.

"Huh? In other words, the prohibited items related to classmate Luo Tianchen are also..." Andrea said.

"That's right, I heard that you encountered a monster covered in pitch black during the last actual combat exercise, right? It's neither a disaster beast nor a witch, but some kind of weird humanoid. This monster seems to be It appeared 400 years ago, and Luo Tianchen disappeared after that, making it hard not to connect these two things together."

"Student Luo Tianchen, did you really get involved in other incidents..." Andrea said in a low voice.

"After all, that guy has a face that will be involved in all kinds of strange incidents. Ah, that's it, the next step is to see if sister Sister is in the dormitory."

When everyone was chatting, they returned to the freshman dormitory without knowing it.Because it was the break in the morning, the huge dormitory building seemed extraordinarily quiet. Several people took out their student cards and scanned their cards to enter the building.

"...not here."

"Not here."

To everyone's surprise, the dormitory manager's sister was not in the lobby on the first floor, so they went to the duty room again, but they still didn't find her in person.

"So, when I came down this morning, I didn't see the dormitory. At that time, I thought she had something to go out temporarily. Doesn't that seem to be the case?" Sophia said with her arms folded.

"...Could it be that they were called away by the principal again because of the previous incident?" Andrea guessed.

"Well, then there is no other way, so I have to wait until later. Uh—" Sophia yawned a lot, with some tears streaming down her face, "No, I've been staying up all night to sort out information lately, which made me a little I'm sleepy. Then everyone, we're temporarily dismissed today, and I'm going back to my room to rest."

"Ah, then I'll go too."

"No, so you still have class in the morning?"

"Me too."

"Then, I, I will go back to my room first."

In the blink of an eye, the six-person team that was still huge just now dispersed one after another, and everyone returned to the bedroom, enjoying a rare rest time.

"...So, why did you follow?" Luo Yuze, who was standing at the door of the dormitory, said to Andrea behind him without looking back, "Your room should be on another floor, right?"

"Huh? Well, I was just thinking that if it was Luo Yuze, maybe there would be some other information..." Andrea said a little at a loss.

"...Come in if you want to." After Luo Yuze was silent for a moment, he opened the room. Suddenly, a scent of heavy books came over his face. Andrea, who entered the hall, put on her slippers and followed Luo Yuze. Behind Yu Ze, he entered the bedroom of the two.

"I'm going to make some coffee." Luo Yuze walked into the kitchen while talking.

Chapter 3 Help Message

Andrea couldn't say anything, so she walked into the bedroom silently and sat at a table.Judging from the dust left on the table, the owner of the table has not come back for a long time. It was originally a room for two people, but now there are only traces of one person's life left.

"Tianchen..." She whispered the name in her heart, feeling a pain in her chest for some reason.The arrangement on Luo Tianchen's desk is very simple, except for a laptop, there are only two or three stacked novels left, and a note that looks like a diary is placed on the top place.Andrea took the diary carefully, and opened the cover of the diary with strong curiosity and anxiety.

"July 2016, 7, overcast, in school..."

Most of the contents of the diary are good-natured, recording the ordinary and ordinary daily life of the girl, some of which she is familiar with, but also some of the other side of the girl she has never known, such as the girl running away to meet herself. She had never thought of working as a maid in the Alfred family for a period of time.The known and unknown parts combine to form an individual named "Luo Tianchen".Gradually, Andrea seemed to merge with the girl in the diary, sometimes laughing and sometimes sad.

"The coffee is ready." With Luo Yuze's plain voice and the clear sound of the coffee cup touching the table, Andrea woke up from her contemplation, and covered the diary in a panic, blushing a little at a loss. Looking at Luo Yuze.

"Hey, that, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's nothing, she herself shouldn't mind you looking through it." Luo Yuze said, and sat down at another table next to her.Different from the simple desktop here, Luo Yuze's desk is full of all kinds of books from all over the world, showing her strong interest.

"Yes, is that so..." Andrea hurriedly picked up the topic, "Well, you seem to like reading very much."

"Well, during the time when I was imprisoned in the manor, reading was my only means of entertainment. Only through reading can I understand the outside world. Over time, I have developed such an interest." Luo Yuze said.

"Huh? Imprisonment? Manor?" Andrea's head was full of question marks.

"...No, it's nothing." Luo Yuze looked away, "Generally speaking, only when I'm reading can I calm down a little."

"In other words, is student Luo Yuze anxious now?" Andrea asked.

"..."

"Holding, I'm sorry, I seem to have asked a very rude question..." Andrea apologized in a panic.

"No, it's nothing." Luo Yuze shook his head, showing a self-deprecating smile, "As you can see, since that guy disappeared for a long time, I have also become a little less calm."

"Really, sure enough, Luo Yuze is also concerned about Tianchen?"

"It's nothing, it's just a habit. Anyway, that guy will be involved in various things from time to time, but it won't be long before he runs out alive and kicking. If you keep worrying about that guy, how many lives will you have?" It’s not enough. So, you don’t need to care too much about that guy.”

"... That's true. Although I don't remember clearly, but during the time when I fell into the cold and dark, it was Tianchen who inspired me and finally liberated me from the abyss. The call of my classmate. I know Tianchen is not an ordinary person, but, just like she helped me, I also want to help her when she is in trouble, even if it is just a little bit, and I want to get as close as possible to her. She...if I don't do anything, it's as if Tianchen will gradually move away from me, and maybe one day, she will completely disappear from my sight."

"Isn't that good? If it's destined to part, it's better not to meet each other from the beginning." Luo Yuze said.
