"Can you all understand this? If so, I'd appreciate your help with these tasks."

Dorothy began to pick out the tasks that were not particularly difficult; they were just a bit repetitive and somewhat tedious, and then assigned them to her three friends.

Of course, because she had Alice, the poor student among them, Dorothy took extra care to explain the principles and techniques of the magic in detail while assigning the work. She was very thorough; if this explanation were a class, it would be titled "Magic 101 Even the Muscular-Brained Sister Can Understand."

However, when she asked her three friends if they understood, the reactions she received left her somewhat speechless.

"I understand, sister. I'll work hard at it," said Little Alice, who had initially been expected to hold them back, but she was the first to nod her head, indicating her understanding.

"Senior, your approach to magic is really similar to Lady Witch's, quite different from mainstream magic, but I think I can handle it. After all, I have studied Lady Witch's magical thinking for a long time," Audrey, the Little Fox, said with some excitement, wagging her tail as her Puppet spoke.

She became even more convinced that she must be a hardcore fan of the Witch of the Forest, much like herself, since the magic theories and techniques Dorothy just taught her had a strong witch-style flavor.

The spell series of the Witch of the Forest was known for being easy to learn and effective, but there was another characteristic they were famous for, and that was being difficult to imitate.

In any world, once something becomes popular, there will always be a group of people who follow the trend, trying their hand at similar successes, which couldn't be more normal.

So, naturally, after the Witch of the Forest became a sensation, many other witches also wanted to replicate her success, hoping to study and copy her spells to ride the wave of popularity.

However, these opportunists almost always ended up failing miserably because they found that the fundamental principles of all the spells in the series were inconsistent with the prevailing academic mainstream; it was an entirely new theory, independent from but ultimately converging with the mainstream academic world.

Later on, her ardent fans called this the Witch system, to distinguish it from the existing Witch system.

Of course, that's not to say that the Witch system is better than the Witch system. In fact, the Witch system is nowhere near comparable to the Witch system. This system is rather classical and cumbersome, and even seen as backward by many witches, but no one knows how that Witch of the Forest could develop such innovative and useful spells with such outdated theories.

After numerous studies showed that they couldn't learn it, the imitators gave up. The so-called Witch system has since become something that only the most hardcore fans continue to study and learn. Whether one understands the Witch system has become a good way to differentiate between true fans and false fans.

So, undoubtedly, senior sister is a true connoisseur, far more devoted than Audrey, the president of the Witches' Support Club.

Dorothy: "...."

Upon hearing her Fox Junior's comments, the Homebody Witch was taken aback.

Damn, I must have been overheating from being such a pig brain; I completely forgot to keep up the pretense. Thankfully, this silly junior didn't think too much about it, or else my cover would have been blown.

In fact, the so-called Witch system is nothing more than Dorothy's materialist ideology from her past life causing trouble. Magic is the miracle of the mind, and belief is the real magic.

As a result, the mainstream ideology in the Witch World is naturally that of the Idealist faction, which is filled with purely idealistic theories, like the Burn element theory used when conjuring a fireball.

Many magic theories here would be scoffed at in Dorothy's previous life as nonsensical talk, superstitious pseudoscience.

But, unfortunately, this is the Witch World, an Idealistic world. Because the witches believe in the existence of something like Burn element, it actually exists in the world. Thus, the hypothesis becomes scientific reality; in short, it's quite phenomenal.

However, Dorothy did try to apply it. The basic physical laws of this world were not so different from her previous life's, and in natural reactions without Magic Power involvement, some knowledge from her past life turned out to still be surprisingly applicable.

Hmm, it seems that there are two sets of laws operating simultaneously in the Witch World, one is the Idealist Magic laws involving Magic Power, and the other is the Materialist Natural laws that operate without interference from Magic Power.

When Dorothy created her first spell, she was, after all, too young, only a year and a half old, and at that time, her thoughts were less influenced by Idealist Magic theories. She only knew a little bit about magic enlightenment knowledge. So, in fact, most of the theoretical support she used when creating her spell was based on the Materialist knowledge from her past life. And because natural laws do exist in the Witch World, that damn hybrid spell actually worked.

However, this unexpectedly formed her spell style, which is completely different from the mainstream academic system of witches, and created the so-called Witch system.

Despite those fervent Witch Powder fans who tout every day that the Witch system is the truth and the really useful theory or whatever, Dorothy had long since turned to embrace the Witch system. In her later spells, she used the knowledge of her past life more as a kind of anti-counterfeit mark or knowledge lock, rather than the Foundation of the Spell that it was at the beginning.

After all, in her past life, she was merely a third-rate college graduate. The knowledge she possessed simply wasn't enough to sustain her on this skewed path for long. Compared to carving out her own system—a dead-end road—following the well-theorized Witch system was much easier.

Of course, out of nostalgia for her past life, Dorothy didn't completely abandon the Witch system. Although she was running out of the knowledge from her past life, she could still continue learning, right?

As for how to learn, this was not difficult, after all, the Western Universe is so large, besides the Magical races, there are always a few odd worlds that are dominated by technology. Their knowledge is the best nourishment for Dorothy.

The Great Library of the Magic Network has plenty of such "miscellaneous knowledge." Moreover, as it's not the focus of mainstream attention, the prices are very cheap, allowing Dorothy to scoop up bargains to her heart's content.

In fact, her interest in the Moon Rabbits is because they too are a race that masters Magic Guided Technology. Compared to humans, Dorothy craves the knowledge of the Tutus even more.

Dorothy usually pays close attention to disguising herself. She rarely takes the initiative to promote that half-finished Witch system she created. To the outside world, she appears to be just an ordinary little witch from the Witch system.

But this time, in the plan to repair the world, she found that, compared to the Idealist Witch system, the Materialist Witch system seemed more suitable. After all, before the powerful Idealist Magic Power of the Magical races transformed it, the Materialist Natural laws were the most authentic form of the newborn world.

It was just that she was too tired before and wasn't paying attention, so she forgot to translate and directly handed over her original design drafts to the three of them.

Little Alice is, after all, her own sister. Dorothy has been helping the little witch with lessons since she was young, so naturally, she understands her style very well. Thus, she quickly grasped this plan based on the Witch system.

Audrey is an enthusiastic Witch Powder fan and also has some understanding of the Witch system, so naturally, she too picked it up quickly.

But Senior Mia...

Dorothy looked worriedly at the Golden Princess, who was frowning nearby. Senior Mia didn't seem to be a witch fan, so Dorothy wondered if she should offer her a translated version in the Witch system.

But would that seem like she was acting guilty, as if she was trying to hide something? That might make it even easier to give herself away.

The identity of the Witch of the Forest was something that absolutely couldn't be exposed.

So for a moment, the homebody witch felt anxious.

It's just...

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, Little Fairy, you truly are a genius. So Alchemy and magic can be combined like this? Wow, there's really something to this Witch system."

Senior Mia suddenly exclaimed in admiration, clearly overjoyed.

Dorothy: "...."

Senior sis, why did you understand it too? Could it be that you are also a witch fan?

...Homebody Witch in shock...
