Second aunt, you’ve got a disciple and forgotten your niece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox, never before so humiliated in her life, held back tears for a long time, unable to overcome her social anxiety to speak—she merely flicked her tail, and a chibi doll modeled after herself dropped down, answering in a mechanical synthesized voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then you two are now senior and junior sisters. Dorothey, this is your junior sister Audrey. As the senior, you must look after her well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received her niece’s affirmative reply, Noerose clapped her hands and happily settled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothey: “........”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Audrey: “........”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two little witches exchanged glances, each seeing unmistakable displeasure in the other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothey found it unbearable to be near this fox witch, clearly a beautiful disaster and troublemaker—it contradicted her lifelong principle of staying low-key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the senior sister clearly wasn’t a good deal—was their teacher really treating me like a free babysitter for your kid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever. I finally found a dual Grand Master as my teacher; to learn faster, I’ll endure it. Might as well treat her like a younger sister—I raised Alice, didn’t I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Audrey, meanwhile, wanted to scream: I got here first—why shouldn’t I be the senior?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the socially anxious little fox lacked the courage to voice this objection—she only grew angrier in silence, her delicate face puffing up in indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she didn’t need anyone’s care anyway—look at Dorothey, she seems frail and weak—what could she possibly do for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the Spider Witch paid no attention to either girl’s objections; the entrance exam was over, the disciple was taken—time to shut the door and return to her research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, since neither of you objects, it’s settled. You have two free days before the college’s new student ceremony—classes officially begin after that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, Dorothey, take your junior sister on a proper tour of the campus. Build some sisterly bonds. I recall all the student clubs are recruiting these two days—go check out the club square. College life shouldn’t be all studying; club activities are part of youth. Go on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving these instructions, Noerose shoved the two little witches out of her workshop and slammed the door shut with a bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothey: “......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, I was planning to start studying today—why do I have to wait two more days? What am I supposed to do these two days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right—I still haven’t taken a bunch of professional certification exams. I’ll just get them all done these two days—it’s time to upgrade my Witch rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothey punched her palm, remembering she still had a pile of achievements left to unlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where the hell were the Witch College certification exams held?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scratched her head—she genuinely didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past two days, because of that mess the Angel Witch caused, she hadn’t dared leave her room—she still didn’t know the campus layout well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe I should just go back and wait for SophieLia to take me later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothey had planned exactly that—until she turned and saw her new junior sister, utterly lost beside her. She scratched her head, then tentatively asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Audrey, do you know where the college holds discipline certification exams?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Audrey, who had been about to return home and wait for her sister, froze—she flinched like a startled cat, her fox ears shooting straight up, her nine fluffy tails instantly bristling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The socially anxious little fox never expected this troublemaking senior to actually speak to her—she tensed up instantly, instinctively turning to find her second aunt for safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the closed workshop door behind her sealed her fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waaah, this cruel second aunt is utterly useless—Sister, where are you? Come save me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Audrey lifted her head slightly, stole a glance at the senior staring at her expectantly, then immediately ducked back down, her mind spinning helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to answer—but with strangers, she was too terrified to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not answering felt wrong too—after all, they’d be classmates for a long time, seeing each other often; if they started off on bad terms, it’d be worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really should answer...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waaah, I still can’t...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this peak of panic, the little fox glanced left and right, opening her plump, tempting lips several times—yet not a single word came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After futile struggling for a long time, the little fox slumped, her ears and tail drooping, as if her spirit had burned out completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waaah, I’m truly useless—I can’t do anything without family around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought this dejectedly—already battered repeatedly today, the little fox was about to retreat into full self-isolation again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Dorothey watched the exquisite, painting-like junior sister, waiting for an answer—but this junior’s flinching, squirming, and near-color-draining collapse felt oddly familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm... confirmed—the eyes say it all: this is a fellow social anxiety sufferer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, seeing this junior say nothing throughout, even communicating with her teacher via a doll, Dorothey had wondered if she’d mastered some forbidden magic that forbade speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like those tropes where your power is so immense, even speaking unconsciously triggers divine words and destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this junior’s magical fluctuations were terrifying—nearly matching that Biantai  Angel SophieLia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, after all this, it turned out she was just socially anxious—no problem then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothey suddenly understood—no wonder the Spider Witch had forcibly assigned her the senior role and begged her to care for this junior. The seemingly powerful junior had a massive personality flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But social anxiety? She knew it well—she herself was a socially anxious shut-in, though only to the point of disliking meaningless socializing, nowhere near this junior’s advanced-stage muteness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t matter—though the severity differed, the inner experience of social anxiety was fundamentally the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me guess why this junior suffers from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothey stroked her chin, studying the junior closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, in self-isolation, the legendary hybrid of succubus and nine-tailed fox radiated an irresistible, mesmerizing allure—no need to posture or flirt; merely standing there, she embodied beauty and desire itself—every inch of her screamed beauty, lured every desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Dorothey not seen a more devastating beauty in her mirror every day, rendering her completely immune to such allure, she might’ve still felt her heart flutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, no need to guess—the problem was clearly this annoying beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she suddenly felt the urge to sit down and have a heart-to-heart with this junior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junior, I get it, I get it—I understand the torment this evil beauty brings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, since we’re fellow sufferers, I accept you as my junior sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothey thought for a moment, then opened her waist magic pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Audrey, do you know where the college holds discipline certification exams?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The self-isolated little fox heard the question again—but she’d given up, didn’t want to respond. Yet this time, the voice sounded familiar—not a living voice, but that familiar puppet synthesized tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Audrey snapped back to reality—before her stood a tiny puppet, looking up at her like a giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......Little fox rebooting......\u003C\u002Fp>",1245,"2026-06-21T03:49:44.850Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","822ed3bfe587d8aef85671e1aff56af86d59aff0f8ecf9b110fb52a9fa521abb","armed-witch-chapter-62","armed-witch-chapter-60",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farmed-witch-cover.jpg"]
