Chapter 145: Alice with Bristling Hair

"Good morning, Little Squad Leader."

"Good morning, Senior Sister Alice."

"Good morning, Little Alice..."

Early in the morning, amidst the familiar greetings, Alice arrived at the Armed Society's station.

Today, the little Witch looked a bit listless. She wore a sullen face, and the two twin tails behind her head hung low and powerless, lacking her usual bouncy cuteness.

Such a state couldn't help but make the passing members of the Armed Society feel worried. They didn't know what was wrong with their society's little mascot today.

They had the heart to step forward and ask with concern, but it wasn't just the Little Squad Leader who was wearing a sullen face today; the dozens of team members behind her also had dark expressions, each of them gnashing their teeth. The atmosphere was very oppressive, which ultimately made the ordinary members not dare to take any real action.

However, ordinary members didn't dare, but non-ordinary members naturally had no such scruples.

"Yo, Little Alice, what's wrong today? You have no spirit at all."

A hand rested on Alice's head, then rubbed it vigorously, and then a hearty voice sounded in her ear.

"Go away, Senior Sister Rena."

Alice didn't even need to turn her head to know who was behind her. She twisted her head, slapped the hand off her head, and then glared angrily at the black-skinned big cat-girl who had appeared beside her out of nowhere.

She was already irritable due to a severe lack of "sister energy," and on top of that, she had been working crazy overtime for the past two days without much rest. At this moment, the little Witch was already in a state of a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

"Ah, this..."

Seeing that the little cutie's usually emerald eyes had turned into the bright red of combat mode, even as the second seat of the Armed Society, Rena didn't dare to provoke this bristling little Witch anymore. She sheepishly retracted her hand and opened her mouth to change the subject.

"Don't be so excited, Little Alice. By the way, the Society President sent a message in the group earlier saying that a new Combat Department coach is coming today. I wonder what kind of person it is; I hope they are powerful."

"Don't know, don't care. I haven't had time to train these past few days, and whatever coach it is has nothing to do with me. I'm busy catching someone later when I go back."

Alice didn't buy the black-skinned senior's attempt to change the subject. She was as irritable as if she had eaten gunpowder, her tone exceptionally restless.

"Uh, the Little Witch Daily yesterday seemed to report that your jurisdiction had an incident. It seems like a laboratory was blown up, right? What? The culprit hasn't been found yet? Do you want Senior Sister to help you?"

Rena didn't mind Alice's offensive tone. Being carefree, she recalled slightly and quickly thought of the reason why this little mascot was bristling today.

The school rules and discipline of the entire Witch Academy were the responsibility of the Correction Team 13. The Witch Academy as a whole was a circular city belt, that is, a concentric circle structure of large circles inside small circles. Excluding the Shining Tower at the center as the circle's heart, it was divided into thirteen rings, each managed by one of the thirteen teams.

And as the captain of Team 13, Alice naturally managed the outermost ring, which was the largest in area and also the most chaotic in the entire academy, with a huge workload.

After all, the locations of the various schools in the Witch Academy were based on school rankings. The higher the ranking, the closer the location was to the center. For example, the top ten prestigious schools were all located in the second ring. So, one could imagine the quality of the schools located in the thirteenth ring.

The schools located in the thirteenth ring were either newly established schools or failing schools on the verge of bankruptcy. And one didn't need to have any expectations for the quality of the students in these schools; basically, they either had poor aptitude or personality problems.

Naturally, in a place that gathered so many problem students, one couldn't expect much in terms of public security, and there were always a bunch of messes waiting for you to manage.

However, considering the overall level of the students there, although there were many things to do, it was actually quite easy to manage. After all, they were all a bunch of "Black Iron" weaklings pecking at each other. How could they be opponents of the Correction Team 13, which was composed of elites starting from "Starry Sky" rank in the Armed Society? So, they were usually handled quite quickly.

Therefore, Rena was a bit surprised that Alice still hadn't solved the case that happened the night before yesterday by this morning.

"I suspect I've encountered a 'smurfing' bitch, and she's an old hand. Not a single trace was left at the scene, and the entire laboratory was thoroughly blown up. I worked hard all day yesterday and didn't get any results."

At the mention of this, Alice became even more irritable.

Yesterday was her sister's opening ceremony, and she had originally planned to attend. But because of this damn thing, she worked hard all day and ended up with nothing. She couldn't help but get angrier the more she thought about it.

Originally, she had planned to continue staking out today, but unfortunately, the Society President sent a message requiring all members of Correction Team 13 to gather at the grand arena today, saying there was an important matter to announce. She had no choice but to put down her work and hurriedly lead her team to rush over.

At this moment, Alice still felt a bit of resentment that the Society President's assembly order had come at such a bad time. They had all come to the headquarters, so what if that person who hadn't been caught committed another crime? If that happened, how would their Team 13 be able to hold their heads up in front of other teams in the future?

"Alright, cheer up. Even if we ignore that new coach, isn't everything else fine? I heard the Society President recently spent a lot of money to hire a chef as a nutritional consultant. Don't be angry. I'll treat you to lunch later. How about I treat you to your favorite roasted sub-dragon wings?"

The black-skinned cat-girl senior comforted the little Witch like this, but unfortunately, she touched a sore spot.

"Get lost."

Alice exploded directly. What roasted sub-dragon wings? Who likes to eat that? Liar sister, she didn't keep her word.

Thinking of her "berry-conscience" sister who had forgotten her younger sister after finding a new love, the little Witch's face became even uglier.

She had also read the Little Witch Daily these past two days, and the headlines were full of how her sister was attracting bees and butterflies and lingering in the flowers.

It turned out that she was working overtime to death, but her sister was surrounded by a group of fox spirits and was having a great time.

Thinking of these, the little Witch's killing intent could hardly be suppressed. Blood-red color rolled around her, and her Mana boiled.

Rena: "..."

*Fine*, it seems this little mascot today is really not to be provoked.

She was just about to run away and let this bristling little Witch calm down, but having walked to the edge of the grand arena, she suddenly felt something and hurriedly looked up at the direction of the arena.

In fact, it wasn't just Rena; Alice and the other captains who arrived at about the same time also looked up one after another, looking at the direction of the arena.

"Damn, what the hell is that?"

... The Witches are shocked... ===== CHAPTER 146 =====
