"Achoo..."

On the way from the Armed Society to Brust Academy, two witches were flying side by side on their brooms, when one of them, a witch dressed as a spicy black beauty, suddenly sneezed fiercely.

"Big Sister, are you really okay?"

Another stunningly beautiful witch, seeing this, put down the delicious lunchbox she was eating, and with concern, manipulated a Puppet to ask.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, someone must be talking about me again."

Dorothy rubbed her nose and then waved her hand towards Audrey.

She speculated that the folks at the Armed Society must have finally started enjoying the meal she had meticulously prepared and were surely praising her culinary skills at the moment.

Yep, that must be it.

The Homebody Witch thought to herself.

"So sneezing has that meaning too?"

Little Fox looked as if she had learned something new, then she continued to eat her meal happily.

After all, she had been there throughout her Big Sister's cooking process, barely qualifying as a kitchen helper, and no matter the era, a cook is hardly starving, as Audrey had already cleverly packed up her share of the food before it was all stored away.

Indeed, for this she even spent a lot of money last night on the Magic Network to urgently customize the high-level lunchbox she now held, thinking about it now, Little Fox couldn't help but praise her own cleverness.

Hehe, if it wasn't for being prepared in advance, she would have missed the meal because her Big Sister had pulled her away earlier.

Dorothy, on the other hand, was speechless about this food-loving Little Sister, but to be fair, the way this Little Sister ate was indeed quite adorable.

If one didn't know her personality and only judged by her appearance, most people's first impression of Audrey would be that of a lofty, unapproachable beauty, gorgeous yet aloof, making one feel inferior and only to be admired from a distance, basically quite unreachable.

And indeed, being a Fox Spirit, her voluptuous figure was truly impeccable.

Though not as busty as Senior Mia, she was still considered medium to large in size, with fair skin, a slim waist, and long legs—she had everything, a classic example of a mature womanly figure. Moreover, being born into a family of artists, she exuded an innate elegance, making one look at her and exclaim in appreciation, a perfect wife indeed.

Yet such a cool and aloof Big Sister exhibited a sweet and adorable demeanor when eating. Even though her dining etiquette was impeccably elegant, as soon as the food reached her mouth, she savored it with her eyes half-closed, chewing slowly like a cute little chipmunk.

This contrast between her cool exterior and her adorable behavior indeed made her seem very lovable.

Dorothy, being a chef, always enjoyed watching others delight in her dishes, and the satisfaction of her guests gave her a great sense of accomplishment. Right then, seeing her Little Sister's blissful enjoyment was truly gratifying.

Ha, now you know how great I am, when it comes to culinary arts, I look down on no one; everyone else is just trash.

The Homebody Witch thought proudly to herself.

Meanwhile, in the harmonious atmosphere of eating and observing, the small courtyard of the automated mechanical civil engineering specialty was already in sight.

After landing in the courtyard, they swiped the student IDs that Spider Teacher had given them at the entrance, and the understated door opened, revealing a hall filled with gigantic humanoid engineering machines.

Although it was not the first time seeing these "Gundams" and "Transformers," walking through this hall, Dorothy's blood still couldn't help but boil.

Look, this is the romance of men, isn't it? What trash they have over at the Armed Society.

In any case, she couldn't wait to go and drain Spider Teacher's stock.

When the two of them rode the Magic Energy Lift down to the massive workshop on the thirteenth sublevel where they had taken the test, the moment the lift doors opened, they discovered that the Spider Witch, Noelle Rose, had already been waiting for quite a while.

Although the master-apprentice contract had been signed, and it was even witnessed by Lord Demon King, Noelle Rose was somewhat restless because her precious apprentice was, after all, the daughter of Dragon Senior, so until she officially saw her apprentice come to report, she had uncharacteristically left her beloved laboratory early in the morning to wait here, and now that she finally saw her precious apprentice's arrival, the heart that had been hanging in suspense could finally relax.

"You've arrived," she said.

With a radiant smile blooming on her face, she pulled on Dorothy's hands enthusiastically to show her welcome.

On the other hand, the Little Fox standing next to Dorothy pouted, not wanting to say much anymore.

As the saying goes, she had no second aunt.

"Well, teacher, let's skip the formalities. I think we should get straight to the point and jump right into the main topic."

Dorothy also held tightly to her teacher's hand and even tapped her teacher's palm a couple of times.

Cough cough... This was not some odd signal or anything; she was simply very interested in the body of the Spider Teacher in front of her, who exuded a homely charm.

After all, at yesterday's opening ceremony, she had seen with her own eyes that the teacher in front of her was actually a Puppet, and she was very curious about whether the person in front of her now was the teacher's real body or another Puppet.

Unfortunately, as a soon to be Peak Witch, a Peak Great Witch, and with Spider Teacher's impressive skills, Dorothy still could not distinguish between real or fake, even after feeling her hands.

In any case, Spider Teacher's hands were indeed tender and soft, supple as if boneless, with a marvelous feel.

Dorothy felt this must be the teacher's real body.

However…

"False; it's still a Puppet. The real body is deep underground," whispered Hat Senior Sister, hanging her tendrils near Dorothy's ear.

Dorothy: "...."

Ah, so the Puppets these days were already this lifelike?

But this was great; now she was even more excited.

So, teacher, no more talking; your student is already eager and waiting.

"Er... alright then, since you, Dorothy, are so eager to learn, I'll do as you wish."

Although Noelle Rose actually wanted to talk a bit more and cultivate a relationship with her precious apprentice, since the apprentice was so eager to learn, she, as a teacher, naturally didn't mind.

For her, who valued talent above all, as long as her apprentice's Talent was good enough, she was willing to do anything and everything according to the apprentice's wishes.

"Although you two are my official students, and what I will teach you will certainly not be limited to the content of this field, but to deal with the school assessments, let's start with the specialized courses of this field first," said Noelle Rose.

Noelle Rose thought about it and then snapped her fingers. A virtual screen appeared as a "blackboard," and several big characters floated upon it.

"First off, what is automated civil engineering?"

...Little Witch pondering....
