Chapter 379: Void Witch
“Ding!” As the elevator doors opened, Jia Na arrived punctually at Lily-Meg’s private office on the fourth floor of the Magic Tower.
“Thank you, Tower Spirit.”
“You’re welcome.”
Like other Wizards, Lily-Meg’s office was composed of walls full of personal books and a huge experimental table.
The only difference from other Wizards’ offices was that Lily-Meg’s office had various specimens of creatures from other worlds, including various humanoid creatures.
“You are very punctual.”
“Good evening, Professor McGonagall.”
Upon entering the office, Jia Na saw Lily-Meg sitting leisurely on a sofa chair, reading a book.
“Sit down, no need to be so formal.”
“Yes, Professor.”
Knowing that Lily-Meg was personally very attentive to etiquette details, even when Jia Na sat on the sofa, she kept her back straight, her legs tilted and slightly together, not letting herself relax due to the other party’s easygoing attitude.
“Would you prefer coffee or black tea?”
“Black tea is fine, thank you.”
Looking at the kettle on the coffee table, which already had black tea bags steeping, Jia Na did not make any other requests that would cause extra trouble for the other party.
“Mm, you’re welcome.”
After handing a steaming cup of black tea to Jia Na, Lily-Meg closed the book in her hand and scrutinized Jia Na with a half-smile, then officially moved on to the main topic of the evening.
“First, I want to congratulate you on being able to join the Witch Faction.”
“Cough, cough!”
Although Jia Na’s Muscle Control Talent could prevent her from easily losing composure, Lily-Meg’s sudden words still made Jia Na, who was sipping black tea, almost choke.
“Professor McGonagall, do you mean…”
“That’s right, I am also a member of the Witch Faction. You can call me the Thousand-Faced Witch—or rather, the Void Witch.”
Jia Na knew that no matter how calm her expression was at the moment, the undisguised shock in her eyes had already revealed her true thoughts.
“You are… the Void Witch?”
“That’s right.”
Like Lilybell Sorceress Kou Ji-Wo Fu, the Void Witch also had a considerable reputation throughout the Wizard Gathering Place.
The Void Witch was a famous female Wizard with an A-rank spatial talent, and also a renowned master of Sealing Arts.
One of her most famous achievements was single-handedly sealing a Dark Sun Apostle in the void, easily turning the tide of battle.
However, to this day, no one had ever personally seen the true appearance of the Void Witch.
It was said that the Void Witch’s appearance was completely different each time she revealed herself, which was why she also earned another title—the Thousand-Faced Witch.
“Your ability to join the Witch Faction, besides the recommendation of the Silvermoon Witch, also has my recommendation.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Na couldn’t help but swallow.
The Silvermoon Witch Lily-Meg mentioned should be Suo Fei Na-Silvermoon, a pure-blooded Silvermoon Elf with the identity of a first-level Silvermoon 術士.
Initially, when Jia Na received Suo Fei Na-Silvermoon’s invitation, besides excitement, she also had some doubts.
After all, Jia Na and Suo Fei Na-Silvermoon had not known each other for long, and the number of times they had actually met was not particularly many.
Even though Jia Na could feel Suo Fei Na-Silvermoon’s affection for her, mere affection was not enough reason for Suo Fei Na-Silvermoon to recommend her.
It wasn’t until the other party revealed the fact that Jia Na had mastered the Fragment of the Law of Beauty, and pointed out that the Witch Faction had a complete path to comprehend the Beauty of Laws, that Jia Na tacitly accepted that the reason for the other party’s recruitment was likely because her mastery of the Beauty of Laws happened to align with the Witch Faction’s personnel selection standards.
What’s more, according to the information the Witch Faction possessed at that time, besides mastering the Fragment of the Law of Beauty, Jia Na was also a Wizard Apprentice with a B-rank Plant Affinity Talent, which undoubtedly made her more suitable for the Witch Faction, which specialized in Pharmacology.
All of the above led Jia Na to believe that the Witch Faction’s recruitment of her was indeed due to her talent.
However, there was one thing that Jia Na found a bit perplexing: how the Witch Faction could have such detailed personal information about her.
Even if her Wizard Talent was not a secret at White Coral Academy, the fact that she had mastered the Fragment of the Law of Beauty was known to only a very few people at the time, including several lecturing Wizards at White Coral Academy.
“Professor McGonagall, you hide yourself very well.”
Even though Jia Na had long known that Lily-Meg possessed spatial talent in addition to her excellent Metamorphosis talent, if the other party hadn’t revealed it first today, Jia Na might never have connected the elegant-looking Lily-Meg with the Void Witch. “It’s not that I hide well; it’s just that normal people wouldn’t associate the Witch Faction’s famous Void Witch with an ordinary Wizard teaching at an academy.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Na couldn't help but nod.
Initially, when Jia Na and Vivian were chatting, they also wondered why a Wizard with such talent would be willing to serve as a lecturing Wizard in a medium-sized Wizard Gathering Place, and only as a lecturing Wizard for Transfiguration.
It wasn't until today that Jia Na understood that being a lecturing Wizard was merely a hidden identity of the Void Witch.
“Actually, I really enjoy teaching at White Coral Academy, so you can also consider the Void Witch as a part-time job for me within the Witch Faction.”
Part-time job?
Hearing Lily-Meg’s additional remark, Jia Na felt somewhat confused.
Could it be that “Professor McGonagall” was Lily-Meg’s main profession, and the Void Witch was her part-time job instead?
This was completely contrary to Jia Na’s understanding.
“Professor McGonagall, I still want to thank you again for recommending me to join the Witch Faction.”
Although, up to now, Jia Na had only received a notebook containing knowledge of elementary Pharmacology and had no further contact with the Witch Faction.
Even the other referrer, Suo Fei Na-Silvermoon, had gone missing during this period, without even leaving a message for Jia Na.
However, Jia Na still genuinely wanted to thank the other party for giving her the opportunity to rely on the Witch Faction.
“You’re welcome, this is just part of my job. Moreover, judging from today’s evaluation results, my judgment was not wrong.”
