Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 91: Chapter 51 Collaborative Assessment

Gazing at the deep blue orb in her hand, the girl felt a hint of surprise but still accepted it.

During the previous selection and sensing process, she had no time to choose from hundreds of orbs one by one, so she had to rely on some intuition or simply a random chance dictated by fate to pick this particular orb.

First, the rhythm and feeling conveyed by it made her relatively comfortable, and second, the color of the orb was the deep blue she liked.

However, when the orb shattered and revealed the transcendent creature inside, Hexia was somewhat surprised.

Before her was a small snake with a rounded head and blue scales, about the length of the girl's arm, covered with blue and white scales.

If it had been before, Hexia would certainly have jumped away in fear, since snakes were kind of terrifying, but now having spent a long time in Botis's jungle room, she had grown accustomed to them, and moreover, this particular one was a non-venomous type.

She hoped it wouldn't be too silly; thinking of those foolish and disobedient creatures in Botis's Glass Jungle brought a headache to Hexia.

Reaching out to the blue and white snake, it flicked its tongue to sense the tip of the girl's finger before slowly coiling up, allowing Hexia to grasp it in her hand and pick it up; the creature's rounded head and lack of venom glands—upon a closer look—were quite endearing.

"Hexia, please come with me," a member in a white uniform instructed, leading the girl to the side of the hall.

"Wow, that girl just picked up the snake directly."

"What I want to know is, do they actually put snakes among the transcendent creatures they prepare?"

"What kind of snake is that? It looks pretty nice."

As Hexia stepped into the spacious hall, the voices behind her gradually faded, and she came to the side of the great hall to register her identity and her companion.

After completing the registration, Hexia exited through the side door of the Star Heaven Hall, and according to the academy members she had just spoken with, students who had acquired a 'partner' in the retest had one hour to familiarize themselves with their 'partner'.

"This is food for this little guy; you can use it to familiarize yourself with him and do some basic training," she was told upon exiting the hall.

After walking out of the hall, Hexia was handed a small paper bag and a folded piece of paper.

"Thank you." Taking the bag labeled with snacks for serpent creatures, the girl unfolded the paper.

The front part of the paper detailed some precautions for interacting with the 'partner', followed by a list of pre-set commands such as 'follow', 'attack', 'defense', 'stop', 'dodge', and so on.

Each transcendent creature has its unique abilities, and how well they can be utilized depends on the strength of their respective 'bonds' (skills).

With the bag of snacks in hand, Hexia walked to a nearby garden and found a swing to sit down on, and then she took a closer look at the small snake coiled around her arm.

Such a sunny snake, completely different from its kin, Hexia felt the rhythm of the snake and, combining this with the data researched on Star Net, deduced the above details.

Gently touching the little guy's head with her hand, Hexia closed her eyes and slowly sensed the other's emotions and consciousness.

After advancing to Withering Sequence 3: Heart Listener, her previous sensory abilities had not only greatly improved but also eliminated many deficiencies. She had integrated her own Songstress's talent into it, acquiring the ability to listen to the emotions and simple thoughts of other creatures.

While she couldn't read minds, she could easily detect lies, feel emotions and moods, and even perceive the rhythms of the other's Transcendent Core, analyzing the abilities and branding patterns inscribed within it.

"This little guy is still a bit shy," Hexia said as she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the snake's head, which was raised and looking around. She gently stroked it, then took out a small piece of food and placed it in front of the snake's head.

The brown meat was touched by the tongue, then opened wide to slowly swallow it down.

After eating a few pieces, the little guy coiled up as if it wanted to have a short nap.

Considering that the data showed it was a Sunlight Snake that enjoyed the sun, Hexia moved it to her left wrist so that it could bask in the sunshine.

Feeling the small snake's breathing and blood flow, a strange sensation slowly surface in Hexia's heart. It was her first time sensing another life's activities so clearly, like listening to the symphony of life, unpretentious, yet so real.

After a long while, the little snake woke up, raising its head and looking around as if searching for the presence it had dreamt of being close to, until it saw those pale blue eyes. The human and the snake gazed into each other's eyes in this way.

As if a circuit had been connected, Hexia could briefly feel everything the little snake was experiencing, such as the warmth of the sunshine on its scales, the softness of the fabric of the clothes, the body temperature of the girl in front of it, and observing her pupils and face...
