Chapter 97: The Demon King's Gift

After breakfast, Sophie Liya went out to work in a huff. As the Student Council President, except for being slightly freer during winter and summer vacations, she was basically on duty all year round, worthy of being called the King of Rollers.

"Young Lady, tomorrow is the opening ceremony. Please rest well today and don't cause any more big news for me."

Before leaving, she still instructed Dorothy with some unease.

To this, Dorothy shrugged her shoulders, feeling very innocent.

What do you mean I want to cause big news? A person as law-abiding as me, how could I mess things up? That was clearly Mother and you insisting that I go for the assessment. I listened to you and went, but I just happened to do a little bit too well in the end. Can you blame me for that?

Sigh, forget it. I, the great one, have a large heart and won't haggle with this troublesome Angel. It's all to blame for my talent and strength that have nowhere to be placed.

Dorothy flipped her hair helplessly, then simply lay on the soft sofa in the living room in a 'Ge You' slouch, took out her ID card, and checked her gains this time.

All nine gates passed. I wonder how the points are. It should be enough to upgrade to a Grand Witch, but I heard that there is a threshold of 300,000 Mana for promotion to Grand Witch. So troublesome.

【True Name: Dorothy Yufilia... Ye Meng Jia De Ni De Huo Ge】

【Rank: Grand Witch (x) Second Generation Demon King (√)】

Dorothy: "..."

Looking at her suddenly unprofessional ID card, the Home Witch blinked her eyes, feeling a bit bewildered.

What the hell, what is this? Did the programmer witches of the All-Seeing Eye drink fake alcohol at work today?

This ID card is the identification document for witches, an official product. Shouldn't it be very serious and solemn? Who can tell me what's going on with this bizarre rank?

Dorothy entered the rank details with some doubt, wanting to see what happened.

【Current Points:】

As soon as she entered the points page, the Home Witch went directly into the 'Subway, Old Man, Cellphone. jpg' mode.

Damn, did the All-Seeing Eye collectively not take their medicine today? This points system is probably bugged.

She continued to check the points details, not believing in evil.

【Points Record: On xx/xx/xx, at sixteen years old, you conducted the practical assessment for the elementary qualification certificate of the Battle Method Department at the Witch Academy Armed Society, and passed with a perfect score. Points +5000】

Hmm, it's quite normal up to here, but where did all those extra points come from?

Dorothy continued to look down.

【Points Record: Detected that you have completed the hidden achievement set by the great Witch King. Your information has now been submitted to the Demon King's Secretariat.】

【Points Record: The Demon King reviewed your information and gave the following exclamation: "Tsk, why is it a child from a teacher's family? Is this generation of my family all trash? (This part crossed out)"】

【Points Record: The Demon King changed the comment to "This girl is like me, has the potential to become a King."】

【Points Record: On xx/xx/xx, at sixteen years old, you received the commendation from the Demon King. Current points increased to 【Redacted】.】

【Points Record: Your points have reached the promotion standard. Given your special circumstances, the Demon King has specially approved your promotion, and bestowed upon you the exclusive rank title 'Second Generation Demon King', and rewarded you with the talent 'Demon King's Potential (SSR)'.】

Dorothy: "..."

Looking at this grassy points record, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ah, this... Is this Demon King really that supreme current ruler of the Witch World, the great existence closest to the divine realm of omniscience and omnipotence? Why does it feel like she's not very serious?

She only dared to think this in her heart.

After all, for an existence like the Witch King, as long as you really mention her, even if you don't say her true name, just a substitute name can be perceived instantly.

Even if she just thought about it in her heart, Dorothy didn't dare to think too much, fearing that her inner voice would be heard by that great existence.

But whatever, anyway, although it's a bit strange, it seems to be a good thing.

Yay, I am a Grand Witch, and I even got the title for free in one step.

Dorothy cheered in her heart.

Generally, when reaching the rank of Grand Witch, witches will begin to obtain various titles. These titles are not just good-sounding, but a means of utilizing destiny. After all, destiny is intangible and elusive, but by borrowing the power of titles, one can guide these destinies to better play a role in designated fields.

Simply put, if your title is 'Scientist', then it will be easier for destiny to be added to you when you are doing scientific research, and it will be easier to make breakthroughs.

Hmm, it's a bit like getting what you wish for.

It's just that titles are like nicknames; they are never what you want to be called, but are given to you by others.

Therefore, if a witch wants a title in a specific direction, she must work hard in that direction and let others' impressions of her lean in that direction.

Still taking the 'Scientist' title as an example, if you want to obtain this title, then regardless of whether you are a real or fake scientific researcher now, at least your daily words and deeds must imitate a scientist, so that others will think you are doing scientific research.

And once more people believe you are a scientist, your fake will become real, and your destiny will guide you to the field of scientific research.

Hmm, it's a bit like becoming a god through faith, and a bit like the saying of monsters begging for titles that Dorothy heard in her previous life.

In fact, the title system of Grand Witches is indeed created by referencing and combining the True Name system and the Faith system.

It's just that compared to those faith-based false gods who are easily influenced by faith, the titles of witches are much freer. After all, titles can be transferred and changed.

For example, the title of the Lord of Haiyue Territory in Dorothy's hometown, 'Haiyue Witch', is passed down from generation to generation. Whoever is the Lord gets the title. If Isabella succeeds her mother's position as Lord in the future, she will also inherit the title of 'Haiyue Witch'.

Of course, besides condensing titles slowly by oneself or inheriting the titles of predecessors, the fastest way to obtain a title is naturally the bestowal of a big shot, just like Dorothy is now.

Her title was bestowed by the Witch King and is directly recognized by the World Consciousness. Just like those nobles rewarded by the Emperor, this status is as orthodox as it gets. Therefore, as soon as this title came out, it brought an SSR-level talent with it.

The abilities brought to witches by titles belong to a kind of destiny protection. This power belongs to 'Talent' rather than 'Specialty' in the cognitive classification of witches, so it will also be more compatible with the witch herself.

It's just that the protection brought by ordinary new titles is often at the N or R level. Only some ancient titles with a long history and wide recognition will have SR or SSR level protection.

Looking at it this way, Dorothy's free ride this time is a huge profit.

At the moment, she hurriedly pulled down the character card and looked at her talent column.

【Demon King's Potential (SSR): Your aptitude has been recognized by the Demon King, and you have received her blessing. She allows you to share a part of her glory. The entire Witch World will recognize your achievements and look forward to your future. Note: The further you walk on the Demon King's path, the more glory you will share.】

Dorothy: "..."

What is this? Speak human language! Be specific! With such vague words, who knows what the effect is?

... The little witch is confused... ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
