Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2676 - 1267: The Opening Skirmish

As a figure that has consistently been influential in the military domain, the "Little Witch" Theresa Tarosa has remained quite low-key after her remarkable victory in the last Warfire League. She not only rejected a series of interviews and invitations, including those from the Cloud Traveler Inn headquarters, but she also rarely appeared in public places. Her social circle is notably narrow, and even most of the students attending the Dan Slave Military Academy hardly know much about her.

If it weren’t for Fyari’s familiarity with Foster, who is also the Student Union President of the Dan Slave Military Academy and occasionally shares some information that interests the former, such as Theresa continuing her studies diligently, becoming more introverted after puberty yet still having many friends, and defeating Foster twenty times in a row during a mini briefing session at the student union, the Wealth Saintess might even think that the girl who easily seized the championship while leaning on the contestant seat had died young.

But even knowing Theresa is still alive, and according to Foster, has become somewhat ’introverted,’ Fyari genuinely wasn’t expecting that the girl dubbed the "Witch" by people would undergo such a drastic transformation in just four years.

Were it not for her silver-gray eyes, overly long eyelashes, and braids in three-strands that are almost identical to four years ago, Fyari would hardly believe the girl who bumped her forehead red due to clumsiness and apologized desperately with tears in her eyes was Theresa Tarosa herself.

"That child..."

Fyari, dazed, was pressed back to her seat by Yu Chen, mumbling, "What has she been through all these years, really?"

Realizing that the people next to her seemed even more puzzled than she was, Fyari quickly deduced that they had no clue who Theresa was. She sighed and took the initiative to enlighten them, briefly recounting Theresa’s history.

But the truth is, despite everyone appearing intrigued, both Princess Eliza, Daylight Black, and Motan already knew much about Theresa, and only Yu Chen genuinely didn’t know; Luna also didn’t know but was not ’intrigued’ and instead quietly flipped through her Alchemy Notes, with no concern for outside affairs.

In summary, Theresa’s appearance here as a judge indeed stirred some waves, but given that the spectators’ seats had difficulty clearly viewing the competition zone, Theresa couldn’t make herself visible to the lens. So, besides a minor disturbance among the less than two hundred people remaining in the contestant zone, most people’s emotions stayed quite calm.

Finally, after a brief pause in the screens, Ramollok, the Chief Priest from the Dream Teaching Country who rose to fame like lightning, was listed among the Star-ranking but hasn’t been named as a Seed contestant for mysterious reasons. He eventually appeared in a close-up on the large screen in the air, stirring another bout of ghostly howls.

Given that writing out the specific content would basically conclude this Chapter, and since the competition seat where Ramollok was had perfect soundproofing, let’s not delve into that here.

In the close-up, Ramollok was smiling as usual, squinting his slender phoenix-like eyes, with a friendly smile and softly chatting with the ’Counselor’ assigned to him by the organizers, perhaps due to his exquisite monocle, this man, known for his legendary savagery, surprisingly left an impression of being ’intellectual’ and ’elegant.’

Without a doubt, many girls interested in the military domain quickly fell for this new idol, cheering for him loudly from the stands. Meanwhile, many who held animosity and prejudice towards this Butcher known for brutally annihilating an entire county began to shift their inner balance towards the argument that ’Ramollok merely opted for the most efficient tactic, rather than being inherently cruel and bloodthirsty.’

Admittedly, the satirical saying "Three views follow the five senses" isn’t baseless. Knowing that when Ramollok, in people’s eyes, was merely a symbol, people might fear, esteem, or revere him, but almost none would like or aspire to him, let alone consider a romantic pursuit. But when this handsome man, comparable to Yi Dong, with a smile, slender build, and polite demeanor truly appeared, many inexplicably began to justify him internally.

The reason is nothing more: Ramollok is attractive.

The same deeds, if carried out by Anthony Dubs with his appearance, would instantly nullify his public favor the moment he showed his face; if it were the appearance of the ’Black Vatican Priest’ from a game, people would likely believe this lad is a deep-hidden ruthless figure, potentially a well-camouflaged, high-IQ psychopath with anti-human tendencies; if Tan Mo were exposed for his true nature, people would think—’Oh’; if Double Leaf pretended to be an obedient girl, it would feel like absurdity; if it were the appearance of ’Mor’ from the game, people would mostly consider him wronged.

This principle tells us that many things have dual aspects, for example, regarding Mor, the saying ’Face reflects heart’ is fairly reliable, but when it comes to Ramollok, at least from our God’s Eye View, he’s simply ’deceptively’ good-looking.
