“Everyone, welcome to Laurel Academy and become a student of magic. However, before you officially start the magic course, I want to tell you something.”

“This is very important for your future as a magician.”

Hearing this, all the students perked up and looked towards the podium.

“Do you know what kind of disaster our land is suffering from?” Biden said.

The students were all confused and started chattering about it, but most of them didn’t quite understand the situation.

But when the magic teacher said the word “disaster”, Xia Yi had already keenly sensed what was going to be said next.

“This is the calamity we are facing.”

Several images appeared on Biden’s blackboard.

Sure enough, it was similar to what Xia Yi guessed. The above were all things that the principal had talked to her about before, related to the disaster.

“Some of you may know something about disasters, but what I want to talk to you about today is not just the disaster itself, but also the secrets that you didn’t know before, those terrible taboos!”

Biden suddenly changed the subject, and something appeared on the blackboard that Xia Yi had never seen before.

The students in the magic department were frightened and couldn’t help but stand up and shout, “Teacher Biden, what is that?!”

59. The Witch

On the blackboard, a terrifying picture appeared.

The previous scenes were all of the students of Laurel College and the Knights Templar fighting against the mutated monsters.

But the picture Biden just showed is different.

There were many dead humans on it, all of them were brutally defeated by the mutated monsters, but those mutated monsters gathered together and surrounded a young girl, as devout as believers.

Although he looks like a human, his body is covered with human blood and he has a sick smile on his face, which makes people shudder.

Someone immediately stood up and said, “Teacher Biden, what is that?!”

“This is the taboo I want to tell you!”

Biden stood on the podium, his expression suddenly became serious, he clenched his fists, tensed his body, bit his lips, and said nothing, as if he was accumulating something.

Then, a resounding name came out of his mouth.

“Witch!”

The students all looked puzzled.

“Witch?”

“Is it the kind from fairy tales?”

“No, this is much scarier than the fairy tale.”

Xia Yi had vaguely heard of witches before.

That seemed to be a heretic that posed a considerable threat to humanity according to the definition of the Knights Templar. Those heretics were often handed over to the Knights Templar for handling, so the human swordmaster did not know much about it.

“Presumably, there are still some of you who are unaware of the disaster?”

Biden began to tell his story.

“When life was born on this land, disaster had already come along with it. Every time disaster appears, it will take away the lives on this land. It is an existence that cannot be easily touched. Even the magical beasts that come into contact with disaster, no matter how powerful they are, will mutate and lose their self-identity, becoming slaves of disaster and spreading death.”

Some of these students came from wealthy families and had a lot of exposure, so they naturally had heard about it.

A small number of students who come from poor backgrounds know very little about it.

But now, seeing the pictures Biden just showed, I have understood how terrible the disaster is.

“Teacher Biden, can’t the disaster be eliminated?”

“Disasters, like natural disasters, cannot be eliminated, and their degree of danger varies. But fortunately, disasters do not occur frequently. Even if they occur occasionally, they are still at a level that we can control,” Biden said.

Xia Yi knew what was behind the disaster.

That is a legendary beast.

The legendary beasts are the remnants of the old world, so they are naturally not active in the current world and are in a dormant state most of the time.

However, if the legendary beast truly awakens, the level of disaster it would bring would be hopeless for the human world.

“Teacher, the one called the witch in that picture is…?” one of the students asked.

“Witches are different from mutated monsters. Witches have a certain degree of self-awareness. They act according to a certain will and can communicate and give orders to mutated monsters to a certain extent. They intentionally create tragedies and bring death to the disasters they serve.”

“Although witches look like humans and were once humans…their essence has deviated from the scope of humans. They stand in opposition to normal life and are the messengers of disaster.”

Biden’s tone sounded very heavy, and one could vaguely feel his hatred for the witch.

“Students, you should know that I have taught many students, some of whom were amazing geniuses. Those students originally had unlimited prospects, but eventually died in disasters. The pictures you see were recorded by one of my students at the time, who risked his life to record them…”

When Biden said this, he was already very sad and couldn’t bear to say more.

“I tell you all this because I want to tell you that as you learn more about magic and improve your strength, you will face many difficulties that you could never imagine before, and even the threat of death! Therefore, you must be mentally prepared from the very beginning. If you want to give up, it’s best to do it as soon as possible. A half-hearted mentality will hurt you!”

“We get it, Mr. Biden.”

What Biden said was quite shocking to the students and even overturned their previous cognition.

In this atmosphere, the first class of magic began.

……

Ding ding ding.

As the bell rang, Biden announced the end of get out of class.

The students also left the classroom one after another.

As soon as Xia Yi walked out of the classroom, she saw a familiar person. He should be waiting for her outside and was quite eye-catching.

Good guy.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you laughing at?” Norma, who was wearing a maid outfit, said angrily, “I am doing this at your request!”

“It’s the Maid Knight who’s here.”

“As expected of a citrus-flavored green tea, it can actually make others willingly serve as knights.”

“They seem to be sisters, right? Is this kind of immoral relationship really okay?”

Norma almost fainted listening to the discussion among others.

Xia Yi is…

Anyway, she doesn’t really understand what other people are saying, so she just filters it out automatically.

“Norma, your work attitude is very good, I would give you a ten!” Xia Yi gave a positive evaluation.

“You finished class?”

“Ah.”

“Then let’s go to the cafeteria,” Norma complained, “I’m starving waiting for you.”

“Let’s go.”

Xia Yi agreed, and it happened to be almost lunch time.

The combination of the two of them is quite eye-catching, and they attract a lot of attention wherever they go, but Xia Yi has almost gotten used to it.

“Xia Yi, I wonder if you are used to the food in the cafeteria…”

Norma walked beside Xia Yi and said something.

But Xia Yi suddenly stopped.

Under a wall in front, there stood a strange girl with a huge hat on her head. Her clothes were not in the style of Laurel College. She gave off an ominous aura that was out of tune with the atmosphere here.

She has a sweet appearance, but gives people the feeling of a poisonous flower. She is also quite conspicuous in the crowd. However, although many people walked past the girl, she was like air and was ignored by everyone.

The girl stared at Xia Yi, as if she came just for the little princess.

“What’s wrong with you, Xia Yi?” Norma asked confusedly, looking at Xia Yi’s expression.

“Norma, can’t you…see her?”

“See? Who? What do you mean?”

Norma followed Xia Yi’s gaze and looked at the wall, but saw nothing.

The unknown girl’s figure was not reflected in Norma’s eyes.

This unusual scene made a dangerous word emerge in Xia Yi’s mind –

Witch.

“…”

The witch looked at Xia Yi, a smile on her lips, and then she did something incredible.

60 The Witch’s Invitation (Monthly Ticket Plus)

Xia Yi discovered something extremely strange, as if no one noticed the existence of the witch. Everyone ignored the witch, as if she was a ball of air standing there.

Even though she reminded Norma, Norma still couldn’t discover it.

It seemed as if I was the only one in the whole world who could observe the witch.

“You… can see me,” the witch said with a strange smile, “Your name is Xia Yi, right?”

In that smile, there lurks an extremely dangerous signal.

She adjusted her black hat, and her long dark purple hair fluttered gently with the air flow around her. Combined with her pretty face, she looked mysterious and dangerous.

Witches are the bringers of disaster.

She learned this in today’s magic class. She must not be fooled by the appearance of witches. In essence, they will only obey the will of disaster. All their motives are to bring death and destroy life.
