A day later, Dorothy and her companions arrived at Dragon Mountain City, where Meredith, who had been waiting for some time, led people to welcome them at the city gate.
The delinquent Angels looked at these black-robed individuals with curiosity. Despite feeling quite frightened, they also found it pretty thrilling.
After all, these were the infamous judges of the Judgment Court.
The witches usually revered the judges endlessly. Upon seeing the iconic black robes, each wished to hide as far away as possible, watching the excitement through Magic Network broadcasts, fearing being misunderstood by these living devils if they were too close to the scene.
However, once they knew for certain that these judges stood on their side, the security they felt was as strong as the fear they once had.
Nonetheless, everyone became increasingly curious about how this group of judges blended into the Witch's Night, which theoretically only allowed entry to witch students.
Although there were always rumors that the Judgment Court discreetly recruited some outstanding witch graduates, such rumors had never been confirmed. Even if it was true, allowing ordinary judges was one thing, but what was with the Clown-masked Grand Inquisitor?
You must be kidding if you're telling me this Grand Inquisitor is also a witch student. It's one thing to have perks, but this is way too blatant. Aren't they afraid of attracting too much attention and then being stripped of their title?
No matter the thoughts of her good sisters, Meredith's gaze was fixed on the witch among the judges wearing a bird mask.
She had just watched this devout individual block the influence of a certain spell, so she remembered the identity of this judge codenamed Skywalker.
She was the Vice-President of the student council, the disgraceful Angel Witch traitor, Ivette.
Meredith had never liked this Vice-President. After all, even Angel Witches had class distinctions. Meredith belonged to the lower-middle class while Ivette was from an elite upper-class family.
Moreover, this young lady had even betrayed her family, leading people to ransack her own house.
Although others saw this as praiseworthy, given the virtue of forsaking personal feelings for the greater good, Meredith, being an involved Angel Witch, saw it as ignominious. It damaged the reputation of their declining tribe and even tainted the God King's honor.
She didn't understand grand principles, so don't reason with her. She was the kind of delinquent girl who always sided with family over reason.
So, she glared fiercely at the traitor, hummed coldly, shifted her gaze away, and then looked at the Grand Inquisitor in the Clown mask.
Meredith's eyes were filled with curiosity. She wanted to know what kind of face was hidden behind that ridiculous Clown mask.
Could it really be a fellow student?
But it seemed impossible. She knew most of the powerful students, essentially the strongest ones being the Student Council President Sophia, the Disciplinary Committee Chairwoman Madeline, and the Golden Princess Mia.
But Sophia was now on the opposing Angel Faction, which could be ruled out.
Madeline didn't fit either since she specialized in Combat Magic, whereas the Clown Grand Inquisitor had demonstrated exaggeratedly powerful spells on the Magic Network broadcast.
Senior Mia seemed even less likely. As a wealthy and gentle senior, what interest would she have in a mere civil servant position? Others might fear the judges, but the Golden Country was rich enough to have judges guard their treasure vault.
Those who claim the Judgment Court is also corrupt are ignorant. The Judgment Court needs to eat too, and in the Witch World, anything relating to Witch Gold involves the influence of the Golden Country.
Eliminating these three exceptional students, the remaining outstanding students, in Meredith's view, were more or less on par with herself. In real battles, the outcome might vary, but their overall strength was on the same level.
However, amid her confusion, a particularly annoying figure suddenly flashed in Meredith's mind—the newly famous young lady who had risen to prominence at the academy in recent months.
This thought made her almost laugh out loud and then immediately dismiss the possibility.
What a joke. The young lady was merely a first-year freshman, and it was said she was only a half-witch, with barely five thousand Magic Power.
Although she had strangely displayed a horrifyingly massive Magic Power of fifty thousand Mana at the president's meeting, it was likely a fluke due to being fortunate enough to draw the God King's sister's identity. That Power probably came from the God King's gift, definitely not the young lady's own.
Moreover, this young lady, while somewhat capable, excelled more in knowledge and managerial skills. Her recent tenure as Prime Minister was well-deserved of her reputation as the second genius, after Lord Demon King, to pass the Nine Systems Joint Examination.
