Chapter 37: Witch Academy
"Academy? Of course, I'm going to Brewster Academy. Actually, Newist Academy is also fine. The research departments of both academies are quite good.
However, I think the mechanized civil engineering major of the alchemy department of Brewster Academy is more suitable for me. In the future, I plan to develop in this direction."
Hearing the angel witch's inquiry, Dorothy also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to endure that damn awkwardness anymore, and she hurriedly answered.
She had considered the question of which academy and major she was about to apply to for a long time. For this, she had specifically found quite a lot of information about the Witch Academy to read. The current combination was the decision she made after careful selection.
This was a very arduous task. After all, there were too many academies in the Witch Academy. Just the academy directory was as thick as a dictionary, and the various majors of each academy were even more maddening. Dorothy buried her head and studied hard for a full month before finally deciding on the current plan.
The so-called Witch Academy was not just the name of a single academy, but a collective term for an academy alliance composed of a group of schools.
This was quite easy to understand. After all, all school-age witches worldwide needed to go to the Witch Academy, and it was a 20-year compulsory education. Now the total witch population of the Witch World was about 50 billion, of which school-age witches were about 500 million.
What kind of school could accommodate 500 million students? Thinking about it, it didn't seem very realistic.
Therefore, the current Witch Academy system was established.
In the hometown of Dorothy's past life, basically, primary and secondary schools were scattered in towns and villages across the country, and only universities would be relatively clustered.
Actually, just looking at teaching efficiency and quality, school clustering actually had better effects. That way, the exchange of teaching staff between schools would be more convenient and fast, and the academic atmosphere would also be better.
But there was no way; ideals always had to make concessions for reality. You couldn't let kindergarten children go to boarding school and let parents only see their children once every few months.
But in this fantasy world, the distance between family and school was no longer a problem. A teleportation array could solve all troubles.
Therefore, the academy clustering system became feasible. All schools in the entire Witch World were built together, plus the essential supporting commercial districts around the schools, eventually forming a huge school country—the Witch Academy.
In this magical school country, more than 80 percent of the citizens were students, 19 percent of the remaining 20 percent were teachers and professors of various schools, and the last less than one percent were representatives of major commercial groups stationed here.
As for how the one percent of merchants served so many citizens?
Well, various alien servants, employees, and slaves were everywhere, it's just that they didn't count as citizens.
If you really counted these alien races working in various service industries, the total population would probably easily exceed two or three billion.
Another thing worth mentioning was that although the original intention of establishing the Witch Academy was to educate the new generation of little witches to become talents, because witches valued education too much, it often resulted in only the most learned batch of witches being able to become academy professors.
Therefore, the quality of professors in the Witch Academy was ridiculously high, which could be said to be full of big shots. If you couldn't fill a cabinet with various medals at home, and didn't have a hundred or eighty papers published in world-class academic journals, you wouldn't be embarrassed to say you were doing research here.
And with so many big shots gathered together, naturally, a wonderful reaction was produced. Big shots chatting casually might provide inspiration to each other, and then they would put it together and produce a new result that shocked the world.
Over time, various research institutions in the Witch Academy were also everywhere, and most of those great achievements that changed the world were born from here.
And such a strong academic research atmosphere attracted more scholars and experts, which brought even more terrifying teaching staff foundation to the Witch Academy.
Nowadays, besides the school's own duties, the Witch Academy is also the research center of the entire Witch World, the country of knowledge, and the paradise for all scholars.
At the same time, the Witch Academy has also become one of the largest witch territories in the Witch World, ranking third in the Thirteen Sages Council.
Thinking of this, Dorothy secretly glanced at Sophie Liya beside her.
"The founder of the Witch Academy is the first God King, and the managers of the current Witch Academy are also mostly angel witches. This has almost become the family business of angel witches. It's no wonder she can be the student council president."
She thought to herself.
But then she became worried again.
"Hiss, I just beat her up, making her lose face. She wouldn't hold a grudge, would she?"
Dorothy measured others by herself, then felt a chill in her heart, feeling that she was finished.
You must know that the power of the student council in the Witch Academy is terrifyingly large. Although nominally, the highest decision-making body of the academy is the School Committee composed of the principal and many branch principals.
But those big shots don't have the leisure to manage a bunch of bear children every day. They don't have enough time for research, so generally, the School Committee is only convened for major school events, and the work of maintaining the normal operation of the academy is handed over to the student self-governing organization—the student council.
Under the high-sounding name: You student council members will all be witch lords in the future, so now you can exercise your management ability in advance.
In fact, this is indeed very exercising, after all, you can't manage these hundreds of millions of people without two brushes.
The entry threshold for the student council of the Witch Academy is quite high. Basically, only the most outstanding few people from each school can enter the student council, and to become the student council president, you must make this pile of genius witches obey you, which is not an easy thing, after all, geniuses are mostly arrogant, and except for themselves, they don't obey anyone.
The student council presidents of past generations are almost all among the most outstanding students in the Witch Academy, either with explosive force, capable of suppressing everything, and no one dares to be unconvinced; or with overflowing personal charm, capable of shaking their bodies and attracting everyone to bow down.
So which type is Sophie Liya?
Could it be that her background is particularly hard?
But having said that, why would an angel witch worship Yufillia, the dragon witch, as a teacher? Don't witches generally find teachers of their own race?
Dorothy was thinking wildly in her heart.
And on the other side, the dragon witch and the angel witch, master and disciple, looked at each other, and both saw bewilderment in each other's eyes.
"What the hell? Brewster? Newist? Aren't these two research academies? You just told us with that combat talent that you actually really want to be a research witch?" ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
