Chapter 102 88. The Mistress of Golden Country
The two fighting on the field below can be left aside for now, as the perspective shifts to the audience seats.
Ever since Mia's abrupt confession just now, the entire spectator section instantly erupted. What was a temporarily harmonious crowd of onlookers had once again split.
There was no helping it, given Mia's enduring popularity at the academy.
After all, who wouldn't like a person who's not only stunningly beautiful and incredibly attractive, but also kind, caring, and comes from an impeccable family that could easily support you, letting you lay back and relax—a top-tier, wealthy and attractive big sister?
It's worth noting that in the anonymous polls run by Inky Feather News Agency each year, about who you'd consider your ideal other half among the academy, Senior Mia has consistently been in the top three. She is essentially the perfect wife template for most little witches, becoming something like a public sweetheart within the school.
Despite the fact that the average students were also quite self-aware, understanding that an ordinary witch like themselves could never catch Senior Mia's eye, this did not stop them from treating her as their dream wife. It's akin to those passionate fans who love calling their idols their wives.
However, now their collective "wife" had openly confessed to someone, but instead of anyone among them, it was a new junior student.
At that moment, the entire audience section suddenly lit up with a sea of green.
Well, literally a sea of green, as a bunch of silly witches started casting Coloring Curses on each other's heads.
"Wuuwuuwuu, my wife has someone she likes, but it's not me."
"I shouldn't be sitting here in the audience; I should be underground."
"Love is a beam of light, it makes you panic."
"Ten years, I've had a crush on the senior for ten years; do you understand how broken my heart is at this moment? I don't approve of this marriage."
.......
Of course, not everyone indulges in the practice of unilaterally considering others as their spouses, and so, seeing this bunch of hearts broken, they began to take delight in the misfortune of others.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Hilarious, you people who change wives every three months talk about true love?"
"Count for yourselves—can you even keep track of how many wives you have?"
"Senior Mia and the young miss are naturally made for each other; it's not your place to worry about it."
"Exactly, the Student Council President hasn't even said anything yet."
........
emmmmm...the Student Council President?
Suddenly realizing that the person who was just confessed to is none other than the Student Council President's young sister, the onlookers suddenly quieted down. The guys who just a moment ago seemed to have been ruthlessly dumped by their wife were now mysteriously resurrected on the spot and excited. Everyone's gaze sneaked towards the pure white figure in the front row of the audience.
Hmm, why does this seemingly white figure seem to be emitting a green glow?
Sophia, who sharply noticed the pitying gaze of the merry onlookers: "..."
Damn it, it's all because of those damned big-mouthed crows from the news agency spreading rumors; they can kiss their funding from the Student Council goodbye this year.
The Angel Witch, feeling offended, was quite upset.
Hmph, she really wasn't close to this young miss and couldn't even get along. Who would want to deal with her if not for the teacher's assignment?
But what was Senior Mia thinking, suddenly confessing to the young miss? If the young miss had shown her true face, that would be understandable, as adoration would be expected, but wasn't her face covered tightly? What did Senior Mia see in her?
The Angel Witch was quite perplexed.
Having grown up in the Dragon Kingdom under the tutelage of her teacher, she was naturally familiar with Senior Mia, the princess of the Dragon Kingdom. After all, the young woman hailed from the renowned and illustrious Astoros Family of the Golden Clan, which, much like her teacher's Yemengade Clan, carries the noble bloodline of the Dragon King.
Only, the Yemengade Clan had slowly declined until the teacher took over and recently set it back on the path to resurgence. However, the Astoros Clan had thrived since ancient times, never once falling into decline.
That clan was famously wealthy in the Dragon Kingdom and ruled the largest bank in the Witch World, the Golden Country—them even being responsible for the creation of the Witch Gold currency. This indicated the massive wealth and unfathomable depth of the clan's foundations.
This was truly a top-tier family in the Dragon Kingdom, far surpassing the recently revived Yemengade Clan, which barely qualified as a first-tier family.
As Sophia knew, Senior Mia was the primary heir to the Astoros Family, the next Clan Leader in line. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the senior would undoubtedly inherit the title "Mistress of Golden Country" and become the wealthiest witch in the entire Witch World, embodying the very concept of wealth. (Ah, affluent dragons, my second favorite ancient dragons, she's really racy.)
And Senior Mia was not one to just rely on her family's power. A top-tier family such as hers would never allow a wastrel to be the primary heir. Senior Mia herself was the strongest member of her generation in the Astoros Family. Even within Witch Academy, where most of the Witch World's younger generation converges, her might would easily place her within the top three.
Well, that's just below the Student Council President and Madeline, the Disciplinary Committee Chairwoman.
