Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 614 - 258: The Burning Valley Showdown

Shattered Stone Valley, the head of the ’Ritualistic Faction’ within Edith Academy, Wei Ke, stood in the cold wind, her slender figure draped in black, short hair stuck to her chiseled cheeks, dancing wildly. Her dark red pupils reflected the firelight from within the valley, brightly watching her opponent.

On the other side, Elena, dressed in the Academy witch’s robe, appeared relatively warm and substantial. She had snow-white shoulder-length hair, her pale golden eyes calmly gazed at Wei Ke across from her, with white valley rubble behind her, and the fireballs burning on both sides of the canyon, casting a soft warmth and halo.

In this batch of students from the Tri-Phase Moon Academy, the most outstanding were the two individuals currently standing in the valley. One has been the long-standing head student and top of their class, always acting alone, while the other, as an up-and-coming talent, had amassed many followers among the junior students at the Academy.

Every place has its own stories and legends, even within the Academy, which is distant from the outside world’s turmoil. There’s a lot of competition and love-hate dynamics. Wei Ke and Elena once had a good relationship, but that was as a senior guiding a junior—with both assistance and an abundance of scolding and criticism.

After their third year, the two gradually drifted apart due to different beliefs, and their relationship grew colder. Now, as they entered their fourth year, Elena was gradually catching up in strength. Compared to the solitary Wei Ke, she had many friends and received a lot of help.

After arriving at the scene, the two stood silently in place, neither speaking. Perhaps there were some misunderstands between them, but neither cared anymore. Now that they were standing here, they needed to defeat the other to earn the right to speak.

"Let’s begin," Wei Ke said, her voice slightly cold.

"Okay," Elena nodded slightly.

Afterward, Elena gently brought her hands together and then slowly spread them apart. Pale golden Light Sand levitated in the air, then quickly expanded and solidified into a brilliant phoenix pattern before suddenly dispersing.

"Time-Space Witch - Five Phoenixes Chant."

A bright yellow phoenix feather mark appeared on her forehead while her original black and purple Academy witch’s robe transformed into a snow-white base with bright yellow phoenix patterns, and then the howling wind in the night sky became chaotic. Pale golden Vortexes of Flowing Wind emerged, tearing through the surrounding space.

Strands of bright yellow starlight burst forth from the vortexes, flooding the night sky and illuminating the entire valley as if it was daylight.

On the other side, Wei Ke’s eyes also sharpened, and the ground beneath her, previously chaotic, suddenly transformed into a silver mirror. Then, a myriad of mirrors of varying sizes rose and floated, reflecting and refracting the scene within the valley. These thousands of mirrors each showed a Wei Ke, each seemingly real, and she seemed to be everywhere at once.

"Silver Mirror Witch - Kaleidoscope Realm."

In the night, a fierce battle erupted in the valley. For a moment, silver mirrors shattered, clothes were stained with blood, and the two sides were locked in a standoff, illuminated by firelight.

At this moment, far away in a wooden hut in the woods on the other side of the Academy, Tilan was discussing future plans with the Great Witch Xiu Lin. The two sides had decided to cooperate, but there were still many details to negotiate.

The candlelight in the hut flickered while two other elder witches of the Academy listened in, making notes of the discussion.

Gradually, as numerous details and projects were settled, they also felt a hint of surprise towards the girl before them, for compared to a week ago, this time, Tilan could be said to have matured beyond imagination. Whether in the distribution of mutual interests or the struggle for some fundamental benefits, she acted in a measured manner, with clear reasoning, and even Xiu Lin could not find much to fault.

"It’s quite surprising, you’ve grown faster than I expected, and perhaps that has earned you a bit of respect from a junior like me," said Xiu Lin, as a Great Witch, she was not one to beat around the bush and spoke frankly of her feelings.

"If only you had come to our Academy back then, heh, of course, that’s just a joke."

Once the discussion was over, Xiu Lin seemed to have become much more amicable and relaxed. In fact, this cooperation was a significant challenge for Tri-Phase Moon Academy as well. Being one of the most influential people within the Academy, she could control many aspects, but with that came a lot of pressure—whether it was the dignity of an elder, the future of Factions, or the Academy’s prospects and inevitable fate, and so on.

"Now that the terms have been settled, I will pass them on to the Academy’s board of directors. They will probably provide formal documents within a week, and at that point, we’ll officially liaise with Edith Academy. But we don’t need to worry about that anymore; there are people who will proceed as per the regulations," she said.

Xiu Lin had not even considered the possibility of the board refusing, which seemed to match the intelligence reports, suggesting that the Great Witch held a very high status within the Academy. Many other board members were her students and would not oppose her over such matters. Even the reports from Edith Academy suggested that if it were not for a strong character like Xiu Lin, Tri-Phase Moon Academy’s board would certainly agree to cooperate with Edith, because the benefits were too great, relieving the Academy’s financial stress and providing an excellent opportunity for publicity.

After the discussion, Xiu Lin and Tilan walked out of the wooden hut together. It was now ten o’clock at night, and the forest had a chilly feel, filled with the sounds of various insects.

"Time flies so fast, as if a hundred years are but a moment," Xiu Lin remarked, looking up at the stars in the night sky, voicing a sense of nostalgia.

Listening to these seemingly random, yet profound words, Tilan did not respond, instead quietly standing with the Great Witch in the night, listening to the silent wind.

At this moment, a bright crimson glow suddenly rose from the distant horizon, breaking the calm, seemingly accompanied by the raging whoosh of a flame licking the night sky.

Turning towards the fiery glow illuminating the sky, a slight smile curved the corners of Xiu Lin’s lips, as if she was looking at a darling yet mischievous child of her own.

"These rascals..." She seemed to recall something, then turned toward the young girl beside her.

"Although I’ve agreed to the cooperation, the young witches of our Academy are all rather proud and aloof. If you hope for a smooth collaboration in the future, then tonight would be a good time to show your strength," she said.

"Wei Ke and Elena are in a duel right now; they are the students I am most optimistic about this year. But it’s fine, I believe you can defeat both of them at the same time."

"Go now, while they are still fighting, or it’ll be too late." After speaking, she nonchalantly walked towards the fiery glow in the sky, as if to say you need to resolve the issue before I make it there.

Faced with such an unreasonable and capricious adult, Tilan could only helplessly shake her head, yet she did not voice any refusal.

After taking a deep breath, a dazzling cyan meteor streaked across the forest, cutting through the chilly dark woodland and mountains, and collided with the fiery glow in the sky above the Shattered Stone Valley.
