Obviously Broster College—though Newist College is also fine; both have excellent research departments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I think Broster College’s Alchemy Department’s Mechanical Civil Engineering major suits me better—I plan to develop in this direction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Angel Witch’s question, Dorothy sighed in relief—finally, she could escape that damned awkwardness—and quickly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long considered the college and major she would apply to, even researching extensively about Witch Colleges; this combination was the result of months of careful selection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a daunting task, for Witch Colleges were far too numerous—just the college directory was as thick as a dictionary, and the sheer variety of majors drove one to madness; Dorothy spent a full month buried in books before finally settling on this choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Witch College” is not the name of a single institution, but a collective term for a coalition of schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s easy to understand: all eligible young witches across the world must attend Witch College, which offers a mandatory twenty-year education; currently, the total witch population is roughly fifty billion, with about five hundred million of school-age witches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of school could possibly accommodate five hundred million students? It’s unthinkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the current Witch College system was established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Dorothy’s former homeland, primary and secondary schools were scattered across towns and villages, with universities only somewhat clustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of teaching efficiency and quality, clustered schools actually perform better—faculty exchange becomes easier and faster, and the academic atmosphere improves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ideals must yield to reality—you can’t make kindergartners live on campus and force parents to wait months just to see their children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this fantasy world, however, the distance between home and school is no longer an issue—a single teleportation array solves all problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the college cluster system became feasible: all schools across the Witch World were built together, along with essential surrounding commercial districts, eventually forming a colossal school-nation—the Witch College.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this magical school-nation, over eighty percent of the population are students; of the remaining twenty percent, nineteen percent are professors and instructors from various schools, and less than one percent are representatives of major commercial conglomerates stationed here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How do these one percent of merchants serve so many citizens?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, all manner of non-human servants, employees, and slaves are everywhere—though they aren’t counted as citizens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you included all these non-human service workers, the total population would easily exceed twenty or thirty billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another noteworthy point: although Witch College was originally founded to educate young witches, witches place such extreme importance on education that only the most learned among them can become college professors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the quality of Witch College professors became absurdly high—everywhere you look are masters; if your trophy cabinet isn’t overflowing and you haven’t published a hundred or so papers in world-class academic journals, you’d be too ashamed to call yourself a researcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many masters gathered together, a strange reaction naturally occurred: their casual conversations often sparked inspiration in each other, leading to joint breakthroughs that shocked the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, research institutions became ubiquitous within Witch College, and most of the world-changing breakthroughs originated here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This intense academic and research atmosphere attracted even more scholars and experts, further deepening Witch College’s astonishing faculty foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Witch College is not only an educational institution but also the entire Witch World’s research center, the kingdom of knowledge, and every scholar’s paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Witch College has become one of the largest witch territories in the Witch World, ranking third among the Thirteen Sages Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Dorothy stole a glance at Sophie Lya beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The founder of Witch College was the First Divine King, and most of its current administrators are Angel Witches—it’s practically their family business. No wonder she’s student council president.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she grew uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, I just beat her up and humiliated her—she’s not going to hold a grudge, is she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy judged others by herself and felt a chill—she knew she was in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Witch College, the student council’s power was terrifying; nominally, the highest decision-making body was the School Committee, composed of the principal and deans of various colleges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those masters had no time to manage a bunch of unruly kids—they barely had enough time for their own research—so the School Committee only convened for major issues; daily operations were left to the student self-governance body—the Student Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They called it: “You student council members will become Witch Lords someday—this is good practice for your management skills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, it was indeed excellent training—no one without real ability could manage hundreds of millions of students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entry into Witch College’s Student Council was extremely selective—only the top few students from each school could join; to become president, you had to earn the respect of a horde of genius witches, which was no easy feat—geniuses are mostly arrogant and answer to no one but themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Past presidents were always among Witch College’s most outstanding students—either they possessed overwhelming combat power to crush all opposition, or they radiated such charisma that even the most defiant would bow their heads in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So which type was Sophie Lya?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because of her powerful background?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, why would an Angel Witch become a disciple of Euphilia, a Dragon Witch? Don’t witches usually seek masters from their own kind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy’s mind wandered with speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Dragon Witch and the Angel Witch exchanged a glance, both seeing bewilderment in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Broster? Newist? Aren’t those both research colleges? You just told us you have incredible battle talent—now you’re telling us you actually want to become a research witch?”\u003C\u002Fp>",946,"2026-06-21T03:49:44.850Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cf9da0c1245bda4a9a5d0cf1dcdf6d25f72c82d7be3e8464e5c79f282573f33b","armed-witch-chapter-38","armed-witch-chapter-36",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farmed-witch-cover.jpg"]
