Otaku Witch

In the audience seats, Dorothy, who had originally been lying peacefully on her chair, suddenly opened her eyes and instinctively stretched out her hand to shield her face.

"Mom, take it easy," she exclaimed, drawing the attention of Audrey and Mia sitting beside her.

"Senior, are you okay?"

The two looked at her with some concern.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, just habitually running low on mana," Dorothy said, waving her hand as she felt the mere few dozen mana of Magic Power left in her body.

Although her face was a bit pale due to the low Magic Power, it quickly returned to normal thanks to the rapid irrigation of the Magic Power direct line sponsored by Lord Demon King, which was like water gushing from a fire hose.

She had mentally prepared to be carried out horizontally today, but the severe beating from Mother was too ruthless, causing her to lose consciousness too quickly; what should have burned for 3.5 seconds of Magic power lasted just over 3 seconds, leaving her with just a thread of Magic Power, saving her from fainting due to excessive Mana overdraw.

Tch, the only downside to the protective enchantment of False Life in this real-life Arena is that it doesn't restore mana; the Magic Power used during the Duel is truly depleted and has to be slowly recuperated after returning, not nearly as convenient as being fully restored on the spot after a Magic Web Duel.

But that's inevitable, as Magic Power in the Magic Web is just a set of data, whereas, in reality, Magic Power is the genuine Power of Miracles. If it could be restored that easily, it wouldn't be consistent with the law of conservation of Magic Power.

According to Mysticism, the total amount of Magic Power is fixed, but there's talk of both major and minor cycles; the major cycle is the world's Magic cycle, and the minor cycle, the witch's own Magic cycle within her body.

After a witch uses Magic Power to cast Magic, the Magic depleted from her minor source returns to the world's major source. The recuperation of Magic Power is the process of drawing Magic Power again from the major source to form a cycle between the major and minor sources.

This is why witches are so fascinated with battling across worlds, as with the growing population of witches and more minor sources, if the total Magic Power in the major source doesn't increase, then this cycle will be disrupted.

When that time comes, there are only two choices, either everyone consumes less, and the witches begin to weaken, or the witches, starved for Magic Power, will literally drain the world dry.

To prevent the Mother of the World from running out of "milk", the bigger kids have to go out and "earn money" to support the family, raiding other people's homes for nourishing "supplements" for their mother, ensuring that their hungry younger sisters can grow up healthy and strong.

Alas, at the end of the day, it all boils down to the contradiction between limited resources and growing population demands, so the natural struggle of survival of the fittest is inevitable.

This is a ruthless world where big worlds "eat" smaller worlds; if you don't want to be eaten, you have no choice but to strike first and strive to become stronger.

Living in such a harsh world, Dorothy felt quite helpless. In her previous life during a peaceful era, she embraced her father Adam's belief in the innocence of virtue, but she also understood that virtues and order are luxuries of a peaceful era; peace is still an elusive dream even in the Witch World, now the leader among the Three Great Calamity Races of the Western Universe.

The Three Great Calamity Races outwardly show respect to witches as their leader, but behind the scenes, they were grinding their teeth, licking their blood, waiting for a chance to strike.

In addition to the three old calamities, the other top hundred strong races were also sharpening their knives, just waiting to see if this suddenly wealthy witch, who had only emerged 100,000 years ago, could really hold her ground. If she couldn't, they wouldn't mind following the three calamities for leftovers. Experience tales with empire

Faced with this situation, it's no wonder that the Witch World didn't dare to stop for a moment.

"Tsk, this lack of magic power after-effect really makes it hard to focus. Why would I, a mere little witch who isn't required yet, worry about big issues like the fate of the world? Those matters aren't something for me to concern myself with,"

"Dorothy, Dorothy, always remember that you are just an ordinary little witch, not some protagonist. Don't always think about making groundbreaking news to change the world. Be realistic, not only armed witches can repay the world's nurturing; being a research witch also contributes to the world."

The homebody witch shook her head, clearing the grogginess from her head due to the lack of magic power, while also completing her daily task of self-reflection, quenching the ambition stirred by her martial soul, and regained her normal state.

Right, one must eat one bite at a time, take one step at a time. Right now, the Witch World was stable as hell, with the three kings pressing everything down and the future of the Fourth King promising. There really wasn't any role for a small transmigrator like her to point fingers. She just needed to focus on living her small life well, and let the taller ones deal with any calamities that fall.

Dorothy patted her face and then got up from her seat. She sensed her body and found that her Martial Soul Fairy King was still digesting the gains from the previous battle, so she didn't disturb it.

Post-battle reflection was a habit she cultivated in the Magic Web Duel, maximizing the use of her Diligence Makes Up for Lack of Skill talent to maximize the experience gains from each battle. Previously, she had to do this process herself, but now with her Martial Soul Incarnation, she found herself much more relaxed.

"Well, there's nothing for me at the Armed Society anymore, I should go work on achieving my small goals."

Dorothy stood up and said goodbye to Senior Mia beside her.

"So my task here is done, breakfast is in the cafeteria, you guys can eat on your own. Now I should go to class. Senior, see you tomorrow."

Having said that, she quickly turned around and prepared to leave through the small door of the Arena.

Indeed, she was really eager to go to class now, eager to drain Spider Teacher's talents. It definitely wasn't because that broken Martial Soul made her too ashamed to face her own mom, definitely not.

"Hey, Senior, wait for me, I'm coming too!"

Seeing her own senior sprinting away, Audrey hurriedly got up and chased after her.

Right, Little Fox probably forgot that her defeated sister was still alone in the War Room.

Senior Mia was just about to get up and see her out, but before she could move, a massive crowd stormed in.

.....Armed Society members arrived.....
