On the other side, in the presidential suite of a high-end hotel on the Thirteenth Ring of the Witch Academy, Knight of the Moon, Ellie, was browsing the Magic Network Academy forum, searching for the latest fan fiction about the young miss.

Although the Magic Network was invented by witches, this invisible network now covers most of the known civilizations in the Western Universe, and otherworldly races as well can link to the Magic Network through a spellbook. However, compared to witches, their access is not that high. They cannot enter some witch-exclusive special websites, such as the Magic Web Library and the likes.

Oh, and their internet fees are a bit expensive, starting at ten times that of witches. The farther away from the Witch World you are, the more expensive the connection costs.

After all, entering the Magic Network requires the consumption of magic power, and among the magic power you use, in addition to a part that is the normal consumption of browsing the Magic Network, the extra part is what we call the internet fee.

Normally, witches browsing the Magic Network for a day would consume about 10 mana, not much of a burden for witches born with thousands of mana. Just meditate for a while, and they would be recharged.

But for otherworldly races, browsing the Magic Network for a day and consuming hundreds of mana can be a bit overwhelming, as the majority of them only possess a few hundred mana, like humans, for example.

A regular human mage might just barely surpass a thousand in magic power; this is already a professional mage. And if one's magic power exceeds ten thousand, they would be honored with the title of Archmage.

Therefore, the Magic Network is a necessity of life for witches, but for other exotic races, especially those from the Black Iron and Bronze Races, it is something only the strong can enjoy. Otherwise, they might carelessly deplete all their magic power just by going online, which would truly affect their daily life.

However, for the Silver Strong Races like the Moon Rabbit Tribe, going online isn't much of a problem, especially for Ellie who is a Knight of the Moon, belonging to the elites of the Moon Rabbit Tribe.

Of course, if it were the old Ellie, she actually wouldn't have liked browsing the Magic Network, since the Moon Rabbits generally resisted the witches and naturally didn't like the things witches did.

But since she met that lord a month ago, Ellie had greatly changed her ingrained impression of witches. Moreover, living in the Witch Academy required using the Magic Network in many areas, so that was when she began to formally interact with it.

And then... she became an internet-addicted rabbit, with her addiction growing more severe by the day.

For the past month, Ellie's life went something like this:

The first day, trying the Magic Network for the first time, "This Magic Network is quite interesting;"

The second day, entering the Magic Network again, discovered the identity of that lord, and was astonished; it was like a vision of a Celestial.

The third day, online, opening the forum, intense search for information related to the young miss;

The fourth day, online, the young miss's fan fiction is really good;

....

Half a month later, online, became a famous madam in the Witch Academy campus forum's young miss fan fiction circles;

...

Yesterday, "Ellie, Ellie, as Her Majesty the Queen's Guardian, how can you indulge in the Magic Network every day, getting obsessed with the young miss's cp? Have you forgotten your duties? You must work hard for the revival of your tribe. You have to quit your internet addiction."

And then today, "Hmm, it's been twelve hours since I've seen any information about the young miss. It seems like the addiction is almost kicked. It's about time to reward myself. Online, and charge in."

However, after Ellie made her rounds in the young miss's fan fiction section, read all the new works by the ladies today, and even completed her daily portion of new fan art featuring the young miss x Student Council President, the Knight of the Moon who felt she had restrained her addiction, went offline satisfied.

"Hmm, looking at the time, it's about right. Time to report to Her Majesty the Queen and to make my presence felt."

Thinking thus, Ellie packed up her spellbook and went to knock on the door next door.

"Lord Sidwell, may I know if there's anything I can assist you with?"

However, after waiting for quite some time, she didn't hear any movement inside, which made Miss Knight's rabbit ears twitch in confusion.

"Sister, didn't you know that Lord Sidwell had left the house earlier?"

A small figure poked her head out from the next room upon hearing the knock; it was her younger sister, Liz.

Unlike her, a Knight of the Moon, Liz had more talent on the path of the Priestess of the Moon and was currently working hard as a trainee priest.

However, unlike the other Moon Rabbits who could receive memory implants, the Priestesses of the Moon could not undergo such brutal and efficient knowledge infusions, as it would affect their ability to learn.

Thus, Liz was able to grow up like a normal child, instead of displaying a maturity beyond her years like other Moon Rabbit younglings.

Lord Sidwell had a fondness for normal children like Liz, which was why she had brought her along to the Witch Academy to shop and see the world this time.

Although an accident had occurred on the second day of their visit, nearly scaring Ellie, her older sister, half to death.

Alas, it was fortunate that they had encountered the young miss that day; had it been any other witch, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Miss Knight felt such relief in her heart.

At this moment, however, her younger sister was gazing at her with disappointed eyes.

"Sister, have you been slacking off again? As Lord Sidwell's Guardian, this is dereliction of duty,"

the little Moon Rabbit said, staring with those round, red eyes.

"Don't put it that way, how can the duties of a Knight of the Moon be called dereliction? I'm diligently gathering information on the Witch Academy, that's work, yes, work,"

With her innocent big eyes staring, Ellie felt a wave of guilt and bent down the rabbit ears on top of her head, then covered her human ears.

Moon Rabbits had four senses of hearing; their main auditory sense still relied on their human ears, while their rabbit ears were akin to antennas, capable of receiving and sensing things beyond human hearing, such as the psychic signals of the Moon Rabbit Heart Communication Network.

As a race skilled in Magic Guided Technology, Moon Rabbits had their own "Magic Network," albeit not as advanced as the Witches' Magic Network. The Moon Rabbits' mental network was a natural and simple communication network that allowed them to sense and mentally communicate with their kin nearby.

If on a battlefield, this built-in radio mental network would prove incredibly useful, allowing Moon Rabbit warriors to coordinate even more efficiently and seamlessly.

Well, the Moon Rabbits had every reason to suspect that the Witches' Magic Network was a copy of their Heart Communication Network, since this ability was innate to their tribe, and there were few such similar powers in the entire Western Universe.

Although they thought so, they couldn't find any evidence and could only watch as the Witches' Magic Network evolved into something more formidable, effectively beating the original with the counterfeit.

Alas, they could only blame their own lack of initiative; it was a case of not seeing what was under one's nose, never considering that the Heart Communication Network could be used in such a way.

Just when Ellie had covered her ears to avoid her sister's na?ve reproach, her ears suddenly twitched, and a psychic signal came through.

After quickly deciphering the psychic message, Ellie's eyes widened, and she felt numb all over.

What the heck, I was just online for a bit, and Lord Sidwell, you've sold our entire clan? And the new Master is about to arrive at the doorstep?

Miss Knight felt that perhaps the world was a bit too magical, but there was no time to ponder now. Ellie and her sister, also having received the signal, exchanged glances, and the two began to change clothes and tidy up the room quickly.

Five minutes later, when Ellie, now dressed in her Knight's formal attire, respectfully opened the door to welcome the new Master of their Clan, she was met with a figure so familiar it left her stunned.

Ah, an Angel has come to my side—no, wait, it's the young miss?

.....Miss Knight in a daze.....
