Christina’s Misunderstanding

After contemplating for a moment, Dorothy walked toward the Judgement Squad and approached the Elemental Empress.

“Elemental Empress, come with me,”

she said directly and then, without waiting for a response, turned and walked to the side.

Elemental Empress: “???”

This rare primeval witch Miss had a series of question marks popping up above her head, unsure why her superior would single her out as she hadn’t displayed anything extraordinary, had she?

Although puzzled, she obediently followed.

After all, she was soon to graduate from school.

As a primeval witch who ascended from the mortal lands to Witch Sky Island, her mortal family couldn’t provide much help. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Everything concerning her post-graduation career and entrepreneurship would have to be managed on her own.

The Judgment Court was undoubtedly a very good choice for a career, a chance that many children from Witch Noble Families would struggle to have.

She needed to seize it firmly.

Even though she had successfully joined the Judgment Court, merely being a normal Judge with an Iron Medal was clearly not satisfying enough for her.

She had a strong ambitious spirit and her relatively humble background made her particularly value any opportunity to climb higher.

She didn’t want to settle for being just another witch; she aspired to be among the elites and reach the true upper echelons of Witch World.

For this reason, the Elemental Empress had long devised a comprehensive plan for promotion and salary increase that would lead her to the peak of her life, and the first step in that plan was to find a powerful mentor and learn to align herself with the right team.

Well, no one genuinely believes that a newcomer without any background in a public institution can climb to the top just based on ability, right?

Witches, after all, are an evolved species of humans, and the workplace for witches is not much different from that of humans—it’s all about relationships.

Relying solely on ability might not make it impossible to climb the ladder, but who knows how long one would have to endure in terms of seniority for that to happen.

The Elemental Empress had understood these principles from a young age, since although her mortal family wasn’t so ordinary—after all, it was a Royal Family of the Human Empire—she could somewhat be considered a princess educated in royal ways from childhood.

Although a princess of the Human Empire might not seem impressive in the eyes of witches—any ordinary witch is nobler than even the most powerful Human Empire princess—the huge gap lies only in their powers and positions, not in their understanding of people.

Indeed, when it comes to the study of human hearts and political struggles, witches might not necessarily be more proficient than those humans who specialise in these areas, and the royal-born Elemental Empress is clearly very adept at navigating these waters, evident from how she had easily prevailed in a struggle for the throne of the Human Empire she was involved in before.

She was a witch skilled at understanding people.

For example, from the beginning of school, she deliberately cultivated a resentful image towards the wealthy, then targeted and gambled against Mia, the Golden Princess, betting that the top Magnate of Witch World, used to being handled delicately, might react more strongly to a tougher approach—and she was right.

This move made her life for the past two years as a working student much easier because she had successfully caught the attention of the Golden Princess, opportunities of work and study were clearly provided by her, possibly out of a mischievous desire to see her reaction when she would eventually learn about everything.

Regarding this, the Elemental Empress had always performed perfectly; she would certainly show the reaction that the other party wanted to see when the time came, to satisfy the mischievous inclinations of this benefactor.

Of course, although there was calculation involved, she also kept the kindness of the Golden Princess in mind, and she was determined to repay this favor a hundredfold in the future.

Similarly, her plan for promotion within the Judgment Court was also waiting for an opportunity, one that could leave a lasting impression on her superiors, although this opportunity seemed much harder to come by than she had anticipated.

It was difficult because her boss, Lord Clown, was too elusive.

She couldn’t quite grasp his preferences or character, let alone cater to his tastes or play on his reverse psychology.

Secondly…

Alas, this team was too damn competitive.

As a primeval witch, the Elemental Empress felt her Talent was decent; she could probably be considered a genius, at least she was among the top tier in school.

But since she had joined under Lord Clown, she realized that the least valued thing here was genius—everyone around her was a genius, and everyone’s Talent was roughly equal.

Trying to attract Lord Clown’s attention with her Talent, making him take a special note of her, was practically hopeless.

Nevertheless, the Elemental Empress had no intention of giving up.

Logically, her wisest move now would be to give up on competing in this highly competitive team and transfer to another less competitive team, which would make climbing the ranks easier.

But the situation now was clearly extraordinary.

After all, every piece of evidence indicated that her boss, Lord Clown, was not just any powerful mentor—he was pure gold.

Even one of his leg hairs was worth more than whole legs of others.

If she were just a little luckier and really caught the eye of Lord Clown, she might truly have a chance to rise rapidly, potentially skipping the hundreds of years of struggle that would normally be necessary.

Regardless, she was determined to stick to this powerful mentor, and no one could persuade her to let go.
