Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 394 - 135: Shadows of the Past

"The reaction from the outside world is still pretty good, at least there’s been no large-scale ridicule. I think the storm will slowly subside in another two weeks," said Amors, leaning back in his chair in the Student Council office, to Tilan.

"You handled this matter very quickly, Tilan. I actually thought it would take you much longer." He folded his hands in front of him, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"This way, I’ll also have ample time to handover other matters to you."

"The next month will be exceptionally busy, so brace yourself, haha." After saying this, he stood up, pushed aside a bookshelf next to him, revealing a special verification and sensor device behind the seemingly ordinary wall. When Amors pressed his hand against it, a hidden door slid open.

"Now that you’re ready to take over my position, it’s time I told you about the origins of all this. Follow me," he said.

Having spoken, he walked through the secret door beside the bookshelf, where a small elevator led underground.

After about half a minute of travel in the elevator, the two arrived deep beneath the building.

The dark matte ground and walls provided a comfortable and quiet atmosphere. This entire level was open, with spaces equipped with projectors, combat fields, and sleep pods for deep diving into the Aijeika Network, among other things.

"This level is the underground space exclusively for the Student Council President. In the future, you can make good use of this place. The security and defense measures here are excellent. Even a nuclear explosion on the surface won’t affect this place, and in case of danger, there are three emergency escape routes on the side," Amors explained to the young girl.

"Hmm," the girl scanned the surrounding decor and items with her gaze.

"Let’s start here. I’ll show you the images of the past Student Council Presidents and the early history of the Academy," he suggested.

He had the girl sit on a black sofa and then activated an old-style holographic projector next to it. Soon after, one after another, images of young and varied figures appeared in the hologram; male and female, some stern, some gentle, competent, and intelligent, each with a different temperament. What they had in common was that they were all wearing the Student Council President’s uniform, pinned with the exclusive badge on the collar.

The timeline on the screen gradually rewound until it finally stopped on the earliest scene, which showed a slightly blurry and snowy image. The setting in the image featured the signature crown and rose pattern of Saint Ingo Academy.

Contrary to the usual impression, Saint Ingo Academy was in the midst of internal strife. The students were clearly divided into two factions, and the teachers frequently moved between the students, trying to persuade the leaders of both sides in an attempt to reconcile the conflict.

However, their efforts were not very effective, and after arguments, the two groups of students still came to blows.

These weren’t ordinary high school students; they were the cream of the crop from the Star Domain, with many among them being High-Rank Transcendents of Sequence 5. Even faced with direct machine gun fire, they could easily defend themselves. The first thing they destroyed were the riot-control Autonomous Units rushing to the Academy.

The white steel shells of the autonomous machinery were easily sliced open by Light Sabers, shattered electronic components scattered on the ground, shadows crisscrossed in the sky colliding with each other, dazzling Magic Power bursts sporadically exploded, and sounds of battle were everywhere, until all riot-control Autonomous Units were destroyed, then both sides gradually regained their sanity.

A representative from one side stepped forward. He had gray-blue short hair, wore a white uniform with blue trim, one hand on the hilt of his Sword, the other holding the Sword Scabbard.

"I’ll ask one last time, are you truly unwilling to hand over the hydrographic data?" the young man with gray-blue hair slowly swept his gaze over the opposite side.

"Grance, I warn you, this is Saint Ingo Academy, not your personal playground. Don’t think your father can protect all of your actions," countered the representative from the other side. He was a blonde young man wearing white clothing with a golden leaf pattern, and from the badge on his chest, he was apparently the Student Council President at the time.

"Arthur Wei, I’ve known you for a long time, since elementary school, middle school, and now. You can’t hide your expressions from me," the youth known as Tyrance with gray-blue short hair said, shaking his head slightly, then continued.

"This time, the Federal Center has sent High-Rank inspectors to investigate the pollution case of the Jade Skirt. Many problems accumulated over the years could have been resolved in one go, but why did you hide and even delete that crucial information?"

"Ha, Grance, you’re still so naive. Do you really think that by making this issue public, it will be resolved? The inspectors won’t care about right or wrong or the complexities involved. They just want to put people in jail, and your ideas, far from saving this planet, will disappoint the bigwigs supporting Jade Skirt and then they’ll withdraw their funds and leave," the blonde young man tossed his hair, his face showing mockery.

As the gathering place of the ’Royalist Faction,’ most students at Saint Ingo Academy came from deep-rooted families, and their families were also intricately connected to the Central Star Domain.

During the civil war four hundred years ago, in order to rapidly advance the development of the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain, many powers invested in it, with the ’Royalist Faction’ from the Central Star Domain contributing the most. Behind a large number of corporate conglomerates, their presence and will could be found.

After the end of the civil war, due to environmental deterioration and the disassembly and withdrawal of military groups, the influence of the ’Local Faction’ and ’Starship Faction’ greatly diminished, the power of the ’Crystal Mine Faction’ became fragmented and competitive, and thus the largest power in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain gradually shifted to the ’Royalist Faction’ from outside.
