Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 598 252: Various Universities in the North_2

"As for compensation, I'm confident that Edith Academy can certainly afford it. However, the situation among the high schools in the North..." Mrs. Heather trailed off before continuing candidly.

"The situation among North high schools varies greatly, and it's relatively complex, not something that can be united so easily with just a few words," she explained.

"I do indeed know quite a few high school directors, and I have close relationships with them, but our generation actually has a very clear distinction between public and private matters. We're easygoing and won't refuse to help with small favors, but this union involves a lot, and decisions won't be made lightly."

"Here's what I'll do: I'll write you a letter of recommendation, then give those old friends of mine a heads-up. Afterwards, you can use that letter to visit them with ease," she said.

"I'll send you a list of the main directors behind each academy. Hexia can contact them one by one. Considering my face, they shouldn't give you a hard time or treat you too harshly. After all, you're young, and as an officially recognized 'Songstress' by the Federation, they should all be happy to welcome you. But as for whether you can persuade them in the end, that'll still be up to you, Hexia."

Mrs. Heather helped Hexia to understand the reasons behind the situation, then asked her butler to bring paper and pen and personally began writing the letter.

Despite the convenience of electronic documents, certificates, and paperwork in this era, there are times when a handwritten signature is still used to express sincerity.

As Mrs. Heather wrote the recommendation letter, she spoke to Tilan about the situation of several renowned academies in the North.

"First of all, our Yuanting, which you must have heard Mel talk about, was originally the Wind Whale Courtyard, a branch of the former 'Wind Whale Courtyard'. I won't go into that story again," she said.

"Among the high schools in the North, other notable ones like Tri-Phase Moon Academy are famous for cultivating witches. More than 500 years ago, they were ranked second in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain, competing fiercely with Saint Yingo and producing a stream of geniuses. However, as the Transcendent Faction 'Witch Sect' declined, the academies under it also fell into decline, including Tri-Phase Moon Academy."

"Even though Tri-Phase Moon Academy might not rank within the top ten in the Star Domain anymore, they've had their glory days. If they were to support Edith Academy merely as a foil, they would probably find it hard to accept," Mrs. Heather mentioned as the reason why she felt it would be difficult.

"There is also 'Twelve Single Academy', whose lineage comes from 'Xuanxian Tianwu Building', one of the Thirty-Six Upper Sects from The East back in the day. Their tailoring workshop is also famous across the Federation."

"However, 'Xuanxian Tianwu Building' supported the Conservative Faction and was also in the 'Moon Gate Star Domain.' I assume you can guess what happened after that, Tilan," she continued.

"Moon Gate was personally destroyed by Princess Emuralin. All secret techniques and patents of the 'Xuanxian Tianwu Building' faction were divided among other factions and megacorporations after the war, effectively dismembering the entire faction. At the time, Twelve Single Academy was just one high school under the 'Xuanxian Tianwu Building' faction, luckily situated far from Moon Gate, in the remote Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain, a major military domain that also served as a rear-front. To maintain stability and assuage the population, no harsh purges were conducted then."

"So 'Twelve Single Academy' narrowly escaped disaster, but it subsequently changed its name and has kept a low profile ever since. Also, due to the loss of much heritage and proprietary technologies, it's never been as vigorous as before."

"They might wish for a revival but are also afraid of touching certain taboos and thus dare not make any grand gestures. So, seeking their aid might also be difficult."

"As for 'Hot Surge Academy'..." Mrs. Heather revealed a hint of a smile when mentioning this.

"This brings us to a notable person and trend from over 500 years ago. There was a very famous Transcendent called Er Long who, through a unique cultivation method, continuously tempered his body, making it extraordinarily tough, even breaking through the atmosphere alone and roaming the stars, causing a sensation at the time."

"Later on, he stood out among various Transcendent Factions fighting for the title of champion in 'Amenas' and became the individual most likely to enter Sequence 9 then."

"Admiring this powerful Transcendent, a wave of cultivating personal toughness and studying barehanded martial arts swept across various regions. 'Hot Surge Academy' emerged during that time, and it was said that its founders even sought teachings from Er Long himself."

"However, like a fleeting flower, the deeds of this genius passed quickly. Although many later imitated his cultivation method and even the Transcendent Profession templates, no one ever reached his level of power and capability."

"When the trend faded, few chose to follow this advancement path. Many factions and academies that followed him eventually dissolved, leaving only 'Hot Surge Academy' to barely survive, its strength mediocre and hovering around the 30th rank within the Star Domain."

"They probably do want to leverage the resources and reputation of Edith Academy, but I'm afraid they might not meet your expectations," she added.

"Moreover, 'Loath Eye Academy', known for its puppetry, also has its complexities. Though they mostly teach the art of crafting and controlling puppets, the truly core element is a unique secret technique: separating one's soul to inhabit a puppet, in pursuit of a certain form of immortality."
