"Miss, about this question in the Transformation System..."

"Miss, I have some doubts about the Evocation Elemental Theory..."

"Miss, I would like to ask about Alchemy..."

....

At the top floor of the Great Library, the activity area exclusively for the Eye of True Sight club was unusually lively today, all because the God of Top Students had finally graced His faithful followers with His presence.

Surrounded by a group of fervent aspiring senior sisters, Dorothy felt like a strong man who had unintentionally walked into Daughter Country, where the women, long starved for rain, looked at her as if they wanted to devour her whole.

But it was okay, I was strong and full of fiery energy, and this was a complementary exchange. Come on, don't show me pity just because I look delicate. Today, I, Dorothy, want to see whether it is the senior sisters who are unfathomable or me who will be drained first.

Dorothy initially decided to build a good relationship with the Eye of True Sight for one reason, and it was her craving for the knowledge of these senior sisters. Now, each of these top student seniors before her would be revered anywhere else, and the questions that could stump them were naturally very interesting and innovative.

Now, listening to and contemplating these points, Dorothy found herself bursting with inspiration. She realized that the knowledge she thought she had fully mastered still had so many loopholes and flaws.

Shouldn't I hurry up and fill these gaps?

Every time these senior sisters asked a tricky question, it was like adding a lump of coal to the fire of inspiration in Dorothy's mind. Now, she felt as if her inspiration was gushing out uncontrollably, causing the sea of knowledge in her mind to surge tumultuously.

It's moving, it's moving, the knowledge in my brain is stirring on its own.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Oh, I see...

Wow, so it can be like that too...

Mm-hm, that's a good question, let me ponder it. Ah, I've got it, I've understood!

Dorothy had always relied on inspiration for self-study, but lately, she felt it was getting harder and harder to come by. After all, the spark of inspiration consumes the fuel of knowledge reserves, and the more advanced the knowledge, the more brilliant the required spark of inspiration, which in turn demands even more knowledge reserves.

And Dorothy's self-study process was like mining coal to accumulate fuel. Even if she could mine three times faster with Multitasking, the efficiency was still not enough to satisfy the insatiable wolf that was inspiration.

This was why she often lamented that there was a limit to the efficiency of self-study and why she was eager to start school and drain Spider Teacher dry.

But now, sitting in the center with senior sisters eagerly offering their help, ahem, offering their coal, Dorothy didn't need to worry about anything else. All she needed to do was to fervently stoke the fire of inspiration, and the knowledge would move on its own, giving her the answers.

All Dorothy had to do was digest the results of her inspiration and relay them to the senior sisters.

Yep, learning is such a simple and joyful thing.

So sometimes she finds it puzzling, how such a simple thing could be difficult for some people? (The fact is, it's your own exclusive Golden Finger.)

Anyway, although Dorothy felt like her brain was about to be overcooked by the too intense fire of inspiration, it was okay. If it's cooked, it's cooked, just cast a few Freezing Spells for physical cooling. Don't back down, go full throttle, increase the intensity, push it to the limit. Just keep pushing, as long as it doesn't kill me.

At this moment, the Trashy Witch experienced pain and pleasure simultaneously.

In the past, she was just a tool person who had to mine coal tirelessly from dawn to dusk to keep her home's electric light bulb powered by fire generation from going out.

But now, a group of seasoned miners came to her door voluntarily, with their own provisions and coal mines, digging with seasoned expertise, and said to her, "Boss, we just love the light at your place. We'll take care of all the coal you need, just let us share a bit of your light."

Who would refuse such an offer? After all, it doesn't matter whether the light is enjoyed alone or by a group; either way, she was not at a loss and was happily at ease.

Now, she only wished her old-fashioned fire-powered generator had more power, and cursed that her little light couldn't transform into a lighthouse; she just couldn't keep up with the influx of coal.

So, Dorothy transformed once again, taking on a form with three heads and six arms, but this time she didn't need to undergo Dragonization or fight, so the consumption of Magic Power was very low, even less than the amount sprayed by the fire hose gifted by Lord Demon King.

With two extra heads, as the two additional streams of thought were loaded, one light bulb turned into three, and efficiency instantly improved; she just might barely manage to use up all that freeloading coal.

How delightful, how brilliant, three coal miners officially rebranded as three little lighthouses, luxuriating in pleasure.

There, in the club headquarters of the Eye of True Sight, the deity of top students with three heads and six arms sat cross-legged at the center, her three heads smiling as they looked at the disciples around. She began to answer their questions one by one, benevolently and generously sharing divine wisdom with every disciple.

And next to the deity, the disciples found that no matter how difficult their questions, they couldn't stump the great deity of top students. Those issues that had troubled them for so long crumbled so easily in the face of divine wisdom, with the deity providing guidance almost in the blink of an eye.

However, the deity did not directly and bluntly give them the answers, but instead, each time, she only roughly pointed them in the right direction.

The disciples were all smart, initially puzzled, suspecting this to be a test from their deity, but after careful thought, they understood.

Why would the great deity need to test them, these foolish lambs? It was clearly the deity's compassion, her painstaking consideration.

If the deity simply handed them the answers, then in time, they would surely lose their ability to think for themselves, becoming increasingly dependent on the deity's grace—something she clearly did not want to see.

Stay updated with empire

But by only providing guidance, the deity was teaching them that to master knowledge, they must practice on their own.

Indeed, such mercy, truly befitting of you, Miss; our eternal deity of top students.

This intensified the already fervent adoration the disciples held, as they gazed upon the central figure with three heads and six arms, their zeal growing ever more intense.

And on the other side, after answering the last senior sister's question, Dorothy heaved a sigh of relief and retracted her multi-limbed form, only to be suddenly struck by a splitting headache.

"Damn it, now my brain's seriously overloaded. Too much knowledge all at once, and I only had time to address the titles of each question. I hope the senior sisters won't mind too much."

Dorothy felt a twinge of guilt. At this moment, she felt like a heartless capitalist; she had freeloaded their coal but only let them catch a glimpse of the weakest light through a sheet of paper.

But she really couldn't be blamed for that, could she? The bulb of Inspiration was in her conscience's little cottage, and her ability to comprehend was the paper on the little cottage's windows. Only after she thoroughly understood and digested the knowledge could it turn into light and pass through the paper.

Clearly, she had no time to digest so much knowledge now; she could only offer a cursory answer to each, and that too was just a little bit.
