Otaku Witch -
Chapter 901 - 901: 565. Grandmother and Meeting Gift_2
In the Witch World, there are two types of mentor-student relationships. One is the typical academy teacher and student, where people are more like passersby in each other's lives and might not contact for eight hundred years after graduation. The other is the more traditional master-disciple bond, as revered as parents.
Spider Teacher and Dorothy share that second type of relationship. They become united in interests after the apprenticeship, almost like family. The homebody witch must fulfill filial duties to Spider Teacher, while Spider Teacher's academic achievements will be inherited and voiced by the homebody witch.
To put it somewhat harshly, if Spider Teacher suddenly kicks the bucket, Dorothy holds inheritance rights to her teacher's estate, and she even possesses the primary right to inherit, ranking above Spider Teacher's parents, partners, or children.
Although it's said that poor Spider Teacher's temperament and character make it unlikely she'll have a partner or children in this lifetime—she's destined to be solitary.
All in all, a true master-disciple bond is a very serious matter that requires careful deliberation, and once decided, it is nearly unbreakable.
A witch might have a strained relationship with her family, but her relationship with her disciple is generally never bad.
The connection between a true mentor and disciple is closer than blood ties between a mother and daughter. It's about spiritual inheritance and the continuation of ideals and careers for a lifetime.
If the Academy Head and Mother Dragon have that kind of true master-disciple relationship, then Dorothy might truly be more precious in the Academy Head's heart than Sophia, her own granddaughter.
It's just.....
"Is the Academy Head's only disciple my mother?"
Dorothy again asked telepathically.
"I certainly have more than just one disciple like Euphilia, but she is my most excellent and proud final disciple."
A kindly voice responded to the homebody witch.
Dorothy: "..."
Sophia: "...."
The two fell silent, suddenly scared to casually communicate telepathically.
In the past, it was always the homebody witch eavesdropping on others, but today she's finally the one being snooped on. As they say, a Sage is ultimately a Sage, not someone a little witch can provoke. Her small actions are nearly transparent in the eyes of the Sage.
Still, the homebody witch was amazed by the Academy Head's response.
Wow, it's a final disciple! Generally speaking, a final disciple might not be the most powerful, but is almost always the most cherished, ranking just below the eldest disciple among many siblings.
So the relationship between the Academy Head and Mother Dragon is undeniable, undoubtedly closer than mother and daughter.
Dorothy already felt her legs weaken, contemplating whether she should sensibly kneel now and shout "Master's Ancestor" or simply call her "Grandmother."
"Hmm, hmm, I prefer you calling me Grandmother more."
The kindly voice spoke again.
The homebody witch went into shutdown.
Damn, not only telepathic, but even thinking is forbidden? Do these big shots think they're all that powerful? Can't you leave a little privacy for a little witch? Know what respecting privacy means?
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just that when specializing to the top in the Mental Faction, most people's thoughts are transparent to me. As an apology, I'll give you two tips to seal your mind."
The kindly voice said with a laugh.
Then, the brains of both Dorothy and Sophia received detailed information on a spell called the "Mental Seal Curse."
The information was somewhat... no, extremely long because it's a high learning difficulty Ten-Ring Forbidden Curse.
Darn, it's a Forbidden Curse, a priceless one at that! Whose child's meeting gift is this valuable?
Moreover, it's part of a series of spells, the foundational knowledge for both the Eleven-Ring Forbidden Curse "Anti-Magic Domain" and the Twelve-Ring Forbidden Curse "Fantasy Killer."
That's the famously renowned "Fantasy Killer," no matter how powerful the magic is, it shatters upon contact—a nemesis of mages, a skill that consistently ranks in the top ten of the Witch Magic System.
I'm sorry, Grandmother, just now it was indeed my voice too loud, offending your ears, it was my mistake. Grandmother, you surely can't be wrong. Who dares to have an opinion, I'll be the first to get upset with them.
The homebody witch immediately performed a face-turn— for a little witch who loves learning, knowledge presented at her doorstep is hard to refuse.
After all, this is better than directly giving her money. Generally, to exchange Forbidden Curses requires a huge amount of Library Points, which are much more precious than Witch Gold Coins.
Rounding up, she just cashed in on a gold mountain, or better yet a Witch Territory.
Thus, she engaged in multitasking, and with a swish, took ten seconds to skim the contents of the Mental Seal Curse, then thirty seconds to ponder, and after five more minutes, the Academy Head was astonished to find she could no longer easily read the thoughts of this little disciple.
She's already mastered it? In five minutes, a Forbidden Curse?
Even the well-versed Angel Witch Sage was a bit overwhelmed. She stopped walking, then turned to face this disciple, speaking aloud instead of telepathically.
"Did you learn it?"
"Yes, yes, Grandmother, indeed I've learned it. It truly deserves the title of Forbidden Curse, quite challenging to learn. Luckily, I know a little about the Mental Faction, so I have a tiny bit of foundation, which helped me quickly grasp it; but it still took me five minutes just to barely perform—truly quite difficult."
The homebody witch said bashfully.
Priscilla: "..."
The Academy Head's mouth twitched. How long did it take her to learn this Forbidden Curse back in the day? It seems it took her two months to barely grasp it.
Well, back then, possessing the Qualifications of a Sage, she took two months to master—what kind of aptitude does this disciple who uses it proficiently in five minutes have?
The Angel Witch Sage's eyes widened in shock.
Although she's heard quite a bit about this little disciple recently, claiming she's the Second God King with potential for kingship and such.
But back then, her eldest daughter Agnes was also called the Second God King with potential for kingship, yet Agnes took a month to grasp this Forbidden Curse.
And back then, even Lord Demon King herself took half a day to succeed.
Five minutes...
At this moment, even as the Academy Head, revered as a Sage, she was momentarily at a loss, even somewhat afraid.
This is the natural fear of the unknown territory inherent in organisms; even though she is nearly omnipotent, such a scene she truly hasn't witnessed before.
What royal potential is there—it's only little Dorothy.
Priscilla thought somewhat irreverently to herself.
"Hmm, Euphilia bore a good daughter."
Though inwardly a storm had surged, outwardly the Academy Head maintained her elder's demeanor, nodding gently as she spoke.
Then she turned and started walking ahead, the thought of offering further guidance to the little disciple and her granddaughter extinguished.
She truly couldn't teach this disciple, lacking the capability—it's best not to corrupt someone's potential.
Beside them, the Director of Studies was somewhat bewildered, watching her mother and these two young ones interact, completely unaware of what had transpired.
Thus, amidst the Academy Head's silence, the Director's confusion, the homebody witch's anxiety, and the Pure White Witch's tension, they all ventured further into the cathedral, arriving before the sealed altar of Lord of Glory.
However, at what should have been an empty altar, there already stood a similarly pure white figure, facing away from the group, its twelve pristine wings radiating sacred light, creating a sensation as if they were gazing directly at the sun.
"Hello, my daughter, and you, amusing little ones, we meet again."
Originally observing the Holy Sword of the God King, Lord of Glory turned around, greeting Dorothy and Sophia through the Avalon Barrier.
....Lord of Glory smiling....
