Otaku Witch

"Wow, I'm seriously super strong now."

Having left the Arena, Home Martial Soul couldn't hide her excitement.

There was no helping it, the feeling of casting spells without using any Magic Power was just too good.

In the past, she always found herself in a pickle with low Magic Power, having incredible Attribute Talent but not enough Magic Power to back up those attributes. But now, after casting spells without needing Magic Power, everything was different.

Low attributes? Just use Enhanced Magic.

With a series of enhancement spells like Bear's Strength, Eagle Eyes, Panther's Speed, Cat's Grace, and so on, her body was suddenly filled with power.

She chose a bunch of enhancement spells for those low and middle-level Spell Slots, all to bolster her lackluster Body Attributes.

Unfortunately, these enhancement spells were a bit too taxing on the body, and right now she could only enhance them to the point of barely reaching the passing line of a Normal Sorceress. Any more and even her current War God's Body would be overloaded and start to disintegrate.

The reason she could fence with Madeline before was because she was enhanced – otherwise, no matter how skilled her swordsmanship was, without sufficient attributes she couldn't unleash its full power, and would be at a disadvantage against someone with overwhelming attributes.

Only when the attributes weren't too different did skill make a difference; otherwise, she could only wait to be overpowered by brute force.

As for when she applied the buffs, haha, she had been maintaining these enhancements ever since she learned how to use Spell Slots.

After all, since Magic Power costs nothing, why not take advantage of it? Although such long-term enhancement was a bit too much for the body, it didn't matter – pressure was motivation, and having just completed the Thousand Hammering and Hundred Refining specialty, it was time to start again, right?

In short, I'm feeling incredibly good right now; I'm almost too excited.

"This way, this way..."

Trying to calm her emotions a bit, Dorothy was about to go look for Miss Ghost Mask to continue to the Beast Garden to find a suitable familiar, but as soon as she left the Arena, she heard a familiar shout.

Following the voice, she unsurprisingly saw her little sister and the Succubus Witch waving at her; they had just resurrected in the War Room and looked spirited.

The two quickly approached her.

"Just call me Clown, that's my code name."

Seeing their unsure expressions about how to address her, Dorothy spoke up.

"Okay, Clown Sister, why did you come to the Judgment Court too? Didn't you say you didn't want to be an Armed Witch? How did you even become a Grand Inquisitor?"

Alice was quite forward, sticking close to Dorothy and then grabbing her hand with a barrage of questions.

The little witch was exhilarated because her dream was about to come true – she was going to fight alongside her sister on the battlefield.

Yeah, thanks to Mother Superior for giving me this Judgment Court spot. Mother Superior is awesome.

The little witch, who had been previously resistant to joining the Judgment Court, was now internally grateful.

And next to her, Madeline was also looking at Dorothy, curiosity flickering in her purple eyes beneath the mask.

Dorothy: "..."

Home Martial Soul was silent for a moment before she finally spoke up.

"This is a secret mission; kids shouldn't ask about things they're not supposed to know. And be careful in the future not to reveal my identity, else you'll be in trouble."

She brushed it off casually, not because she was being stubborn, but because there were indeed things she couldn't divulge – she couldn't exactly say she was here to keep an eye on Sophia, or that she became a Great Judge because her mom was the Great Judge.

"Oh, got it, sister, you can count on me to keep my mouth shut,"

As soon as Alice heard this, she quickly covered her small mouth, but her words made Dorothy's mouth twitch.

The little witch's mouth was indeed tight, but she lacked guile and was easily fooled. Everything was written all over her face—you didn't need a Mind Reading Technique to read everything from her expression.

Luckily, all the Judges wore masks, or else, with Alice's straightforward personality, she wouldn't have been able to be a Judge.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked together until they soon found the secretary who was still waiting at the original spot.

"This is..."

Dorothy was about to make an introduction, but before she could speak, Alice beside her had already flared up.

"It's you, how come you're with this jerk, sister?"

The little witch looked at Miss Ghost Mask with a guarded expression.

After all, they were all new probationary Judges, and they had been at the Judgment Court together for quite some time. Naturally, they recognized each other, and not long before, Alice had been beaten up by this witch wearing the ghosts and monsters mask; her strange Spells and Techniques had left a deep impression on Alice.

As probationary members, they were rivals after all. Alice naturally wouldn't show a friendly face to this competitor, especially since this woman with an objectionable figure had appeared beside her own sister, which triggered the little witch's protective instincts.

My sister belongs to me.

The little witch clung to Dorothy, thinking this to herself.

At the little witch's side, Madeline was friendly and nodded as a greeting to Miss Ghost Mask. Being a martial arts maniac, she too had been deeply impressed by the other's beautiful swordsmanship.

And unlike the uneducated and inexperienced Alice, the Succubus Witch knew some of the other's identities and was aware that she was a Japanese Witch who used Yin Yang Technique and Ninjutsu, which were special types of magic not belonging to the traditional Nine Witch Factions, apparently a unique magic developed by their clan combining spells from the Eastern Universe's Immortal Technique and the Witch system.

In short, she was an opponent to be taken seriously.@@novelbin@@

On the other side, Miss Ghost Mask also politely nodded back to Madeline in front of her, who was decked out in Demon attire, and then she ignored the little witch talisman on Dorothy that was bristling with anger, looking directly at the Home Martial Soul.

Thud...

With a "snap," Miss Ghost Mask quickly knelt down proficiently, then prostrated herself fully, touching the ground with her forehead and showing off her elegantly curved back and waistline.

Dorothy: "....."

The unsuspecting Home Martial Soul was a bit bewildered—why such a grand gesture out of the blue?

She dodged with a swift movement, but Miss Ghost Mask was relentless in her prostration.

"I wish to take you as my master, please teach me your swordsmanship," pleaded the prostrated Japanese Witch.

Dorothy: "....."

Ah, what the heck, taking an apprentice? What kind of joke is this, I'm still a student myself—I'm not qualified to have disciples, and why on earth would a talent close to a Great Witch want to take me, a witch with only 30k Mana, as a master—is something wrong here?

"Although you really seem sincere, I refuse,"

Feeling it was probably going to be a hassle, the Home Martial Soul flatly refused.

...Dorothy waving her hand...
