When Principal Alicia embraced the Ninth Witch and insisted that she could not be hurt, and that she was not a witch, heaven knows how many magical girls' will and beliefs were nearly shattered, and their idolized and worshipful feelings towards Principal Alicia were shaken at that moment.
Even when Alicia spent many days trying to open the planetary shield, most magical girls still believed that it was because Principal Alicia did not want to harm the consciousness of the more than one billion Chinese people who had been placed in the planetary shield by the 8th Witch.
But what does that mean now?
Sensing the dejected spirits of the magical girls around her, Mika couldn't help but speak through the magic communication channel.
"Don't forget about the Sixth Witch of Death!"
"Maybe Eden is like Seele! As long as we don't hurt her, nothing will happen! We can find a way to deal with the real Ninth Witch!"
After receiving Mika's message through the magic communication system, some of the magical girls who still believed in Alicia quickly remembered the Sixth Witch from back then.
The 6th witch is the same as now; although you can sense the witch's powers, she does not actively harm humans.
"Yes, wasn't the Witch of Death the same back then? If it weren't for unforeseen circumstances, the Witch of Death wouldn't have unleashed her power!"
"Moreover, Principal Alicia is very strong and will definitely be able to keep Eden under control!"
"We can also use this to study witches! To find a way to defeat them."
"Don't be so discouraged!"
As some magical girls spread the word, more magical girls gradually came to their senses: "Yes, the Witch of Death wasn't like this back then."
However, some magical girls don't think so.
"Once a witch, always a witch! Who can guarantee that the Ninth Witch will never harm humanity? If we imprison the Ninth Witch somewhere, how much power will we need to guard her? If other witches appear, rescuing the Ninth Witch will mean facing two witches!"
"The best solution is to make the witch disappear forever!"
These words immediately drew rebuttals from the magical girls who supported Alicia.
"But if we leave the Ninth Witch alive, we can try to study witches and find a way to deal with all witches. We have to pay too high a price every time we fight a witch! We need a more reliable way to deal with witches!"
The debate continued, and the magical girl who wanted to eliminate the witch immediately spoke up.
"How long would such research take? Who can guarantee that a method to counter witches can be found quickly?"
"The 7th, 8th, and 9th witches all appeared consecutively. Will multiple witches appear simultaneously later? We simply don't have time to investigate!"
"Stop arguing, everyone! Can't we just sit down and talk?! No matter how we deal with the witch, we need to have enough power!"
We must be stronger than the witch!
The debate among the magical girls about witches gradually divided them into several factions with differing opinions.
One faction wants to radically and completely eliminate every witch; another wants to conservatively conduct research before targeting witches; and yet another wants to fully strengthen themselves before even considering dealing with witches.
There are also magical girls with other ideas.
Among the S-class magical girls, there are also subtle factions that have emerged regarding this matter.
However, although their opinions differed, they were all ultimately aimed at dealing with the witch.
Alicia naturally heard the argument between the students behind her and couldn't help but turn around to look at Mika.
She was also extremely hesitant, but she was more inclined to follow what Mika said: to study the situation on Eden and then find a way to truly eliminate the 9th witch on Eden.
While listening to the magical girls' argument, Selena, who remained silent, noticed Alicia's gaze towards Mika and then guessed what Alicia was thinking.
Selena knew there was another, more important issue.
She then transmitted her message into the magic communication system.
As a first-generation magical girl, Selena has always enjoyed high prestige, and the communication channel quickly fell silent as she began to convey her message.
"Although Sister Amy has lifted the alert, the entire world now knows about the appearance of the Ninth Witch. As for Eden being a witch, only we know so far. So, what should we do about this?"
All the magical girls immediately turned their attention back to Alicia.
The decision to lift the alert was Emilia's, but that doesn't mean the matter will disappear. How can the news that Eden is the Ninth Witch be completely blocked? Or should it be made public? But how can it be made public? These are all questions.
Seeing Alicia's hesitant and somewhat dazed expression, and her reluctance to speak for a long time, Selena couldn't help but sigh softly.
What's so difficult about choosing this? No matter what you do, Mingming's sister will support you.
Chapter 461 Hesitation (2)
Selena and the other magical girls still didn't get an answer from Alicia. She was like an ostrich burying its head in the ground, offering no response.
This has made many magical girls feel increasingly disappointed and lonely.
Even if Alicia directly said to block the news of Eden, it would be fine. Although some magical girls would be dissatisfied, they would still obey Principal Alicia's orders.
This is not difficult. Most of the people who know that Eden is a witch are magical girls. The others are either Emilia's governor's guards or secretaries. As Emilia said before she fell into a coma, they would wait for her to wake up and deal with it. They are loyal to Emilia and will not say a word more.
If high-ranking officials from other countries wanted to know the specifics of the Ninth Witch, they could simply use the excuse that they were already handling the Ninth Witch properly. At this point, high-ranking officials from various countries wouldn't ask a single question.
The longer time drags on, the greater the possibility that Eden will be exposed as a witch. No one would not want to know what the Ninth Witch is up to, or why the magical girls have such a strange atmosphere.
Principal Lishia said nothing, not daring to disclose Eden's situation, but also unable to bring herself to block the news of Eden.
In the end, Selena and the others could only wait for Emilia to wake up before making any decisions.
Alicia brought Eden to the small courtyard where she used to live at St. Freya Academy.
The other magical girls also tacitly gathered around the courtyard, then huddled together in twos and threes to prepare dinner.
Seeing the complicated looks in the eyes of the magical girls, Eden looked forlornly at Alicia.
"Sia, I still..."
"You're not allowed to say anything like 'I want to die willingly'!"
Alicia hugged Eden, her beautiful face filled with bitterness and sorrow. She just didn't want to lose the people around her again, and she didn't want to experience that heart-wrenching feeling again.
But now, Alicia doesn't dare to meet the eyes of her students. In just this short period of time, Alicia feels more bitter and painful than if her heart were being torn apart.
Why, why isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?
Eden took a deep breath of the delicate fragrance emanating from the flawless pink-haired girl, feeling the uncontrollable trembling of fear emanating from her perfect body, and then carefully savored the sweet softness of this flawless girl.
'Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia Alicia'
Eden could hardly contain herself; her eyes were filled with longing, but she still managed to suppress her emotions.
Soon, very soon, Eden knew that he would be able to be with Alicia truly and forever.
"Let's have dinner first," Eden said softly, releasing Alicia. "What would you like to eat?"
“…” Alicia pursed her lips. She had no appetite at the moment, but she still accepted Eden’s kindness.
I'll eat whatever you make.
"it is good"
After Eden went off to cook, Alicia began to contact the magical girl who was taking care of Emilia.
At this moment, Lyris and the healing magical girls were doing their best to heal Emilia.
However, Emilia was already seriously injured after the war, and now she has been subjected to continuous stimulation, causing her old injuries to relapse, making her condition even more serious than Lylis had imagined.
Fortunately, magical girls are not so fragile. After treatment, Emilia is not in any life-threatening danger, but her awakening time will be delayed for a while.
Inside the operating room, Lyris breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite exhausted. Although the treatment of Emilia hadn't lasted long, it had essentially depleted the magic power of Emilia and the other healing magical girls.
However, looking at the numerous tiny metal fragments removed from Emilia's body, Lylis felt a chill run down her spine.
Even though Lylis had treated and operated on Emilia many times since the war ended, she could still find many tiny metal fragments in Emilia's body by chance. No matter how carefully Lylis searched, there would still be some left because they were so small and numerous.
Those were all remnants of countless weapons and ammunition that struck Emilia during the War of the Witches of Knowledge.
“Sister Emilia…” Lylis looked at Emilia, who was still unconscious, got up and carefully collected the metal fragments, preparing to hand them over to Emilia later.
Although Emilia always lets Lylis handle it herself, Lylis has accumulated several collectible paintings made of metal fragments.
At that moment, Lyris received a magical communication from Alicia.
Lyris stopped moving, and the other magical girls who had noticed Alicia's magical communication also looked at Lyris.
Principal Lailis spoke indifferently, her emotions completely unmoved.
"...How is Emilia doing?" Alicia was silent for a moment after hearing Lylis's tone, but then she asked about Emilia's condition.
"Sister Amy is much better now. If the principal is alright, let's leave it at that."
After speaking, Lylis hung up the call and looked at Emilia, who was unconscious.
"Sister Amy..."
Lylis desperately hoped that Emilia would wake up and recover quickly. During the surgery, she had already heard the secretaries of the continent outside the operating room receiving phone calls from high-ranking officials from various countries.
Without exception, they were all concerned about Emilia's situation, but they were also asking about Emilia's physical condition. Those people were indeed concerned about Emilia, but Lyris could guess most of what they were thinking.
The lives of billions of people on the continent of Mu, and indeed all of humanity, now rest on Emilia's shoulders. She is the sole ruler of Mu and the current supreme leader of the Firemoth.
However, after receiving Alicia's message, Lylis didn't want Emilia to wake up so quickly. She just hoped that Emilia could take the opportunity to rest for a while longer.
Leilis frequently treated Emilia, and she knew very well that during this period after the war, Emilia, who was still recovering from serious injuries, hardly rested at all and was constantly working to handle all sorts of important matters.
Even Lailis herself and many magical girls were given a bunch of things to help with.
"Ugh"
Lylis sighed and, along with the others, pushed Emilia out of the operating room.
Outside the operating room, Emilia's secretaries were busy with their work while waiting. When they saw Emilia come out, they all stopped quickly and glanced at her.
“Sister Amy needs to rest,” Lailis said to the Secretary-General of the ruling continent of Mu.
"Okay," the secretary-general, with dark circles under his eyes, nodded helplessly.
After many busy days, the Secretary-General, who had thought he could finally take a short break, was shocked to learn that the Consul had fainted. He nearly suffered cardiac arrest, but there was nothing he could do but continue.
Lailis quickly prescribed several doses of medicine and handed them to the secretary-general.
The Secretary-General nodded gratefully to Lylis, then immediately left with some of the secretaries to continue their work.
the other side
Alicia sat on the sofa with her head down, her mind in turmoil, her azure eyes staring blankly at the floor in front of her.
"Amy..."
Chapter 462 Indifference
On the morning of the second day of Emilia's coma
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Do we really want to spread the news?"
"But as you've all seen, Principal Alicia is now showing mercy to the witch! Are we really going to accept letting the witch who killed so many humans live?!"
"But Cocolia, wasn't Seele, whom you adopted before, in the same situation as Eden?"
"..."
Cocolia was silent for a moment before looking firmly at the magical girl who had just said those words.
"That's why I want to completely annihilate all witches! Seele is still Seele! She is not the Witch of Death, she is just being controlled by witches! No matter what, witches must die!"
Treat your friends with the warmth of spring, and your enemies with the cruelty of winter!
The other three magical girls who were Cocolia’s accomplices also firmly believed that witches must die, and that many of their family members had died because of witches.
just
"What about Vice Principal Amy? She clearly stated before she fell unconscious that we would deal with it after she woke up," a magical girl said, looking at Cocolia.
Cocolia remained calm and spoke with a meaningful tone.
"Actually, we didn't do anything, did we? Aren't there many people outside speculating and wanting to know about the Ninth Witch? We were just secretaries and assistants."
"We did nothing."
Upon hearing Cocolia's words, the other three magical girls were not fools and immediately understood what was going on. They were currently just secretaries and assistants on the continent of Mu.
"Yes, that's right, Cocolia is right, we didn't do anything."
As if trying to convince themselves, the three magical girls looked at each other.
"Nothing was done."
What followed was exceptionally smooth and natural, even too smooth.
in the afternoon
When some officials from various countries teleported to the Governor's Office on the continent of Mu to visit Emilia, they 'accidentally' saw the records of the teleportation personnel who arrived at the Governor's Office when the highest alert was issued.
