Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

In the pitch-black underground, these white mechas zoomed like lightning, tracing precise paths across the ground. Lasers on either side of their chests flashed intermittently, sweeping away remote obstructions and impediments to their advance.

Soon, the group at the underground entrance saw these formally equipped military mechas streak past, driving non-stop into the core area below ground.

'Entering target area, begin dispersing to search.'

'Discovery of Chaos Phantom residue, air J3M6 index at 23.6, dispersion factor below expectations.'

'Confirm range of Chaos Phantom coverage, commence lockdown.'

Mecha after mecha continued on a curved moon-like trajectory, swiftly surrounding the location where the monster had been, then cylindrical micro Autonomous Units were launched from the backs of the mechas and hovered in the air.

These micro Autonomous Units shot blue light beams at each other, and then a transparent membrane spread between these beams, dividing the entire underground into numerous enclosed spaces.

Once the mechas reached their prearranged positions, they stopped, and shoulder-mounted focused particle guns aimed at any remaining living beings onsite. Through their interconnected network, they rapidly allocated targets, locking down on everyone present.

"All Federal citizens present, please lay down your weapons, stand in place, stop the Transcendent Core, and contain your Magic Power. Should there be any violation, in accord with the 'Federal Safety Convention,' Article Three, 'Chaos Phantom Clearance Isolation Clause', the extermination directive will be implemented. Warning, this clause retains the highest interpretative power, disregarding resident identity. Enjoin yourselves to refrain from any incongruent, suspicious, or conflict-inducing actions."

The scanning devices on the mechas' heads activated, emitting pale blue ripples that extended continuously to ascertain the environment and situation below ground, then reiterated the warning clause.

Given this, Tilan and others like N could only stand in place, waiting for the subsequent inspection.

The follow-up processing troops gradually arrived several hours later, including fully armed technical specialists, investigators from the Federal Court of Judgment, and some military representatives.

After temporarily detaining all persons onsite, the area was completely sealed off, and the investigators started to individually inquire, investigating the cause and process of the entire incident. At the same time, this marked the first time Hexia Tilan sat in the position of the interrogated.

"Hexia Tilan, could you explain your full experience at the scene and how you were able to defeat the monster that mutated after consuming a special substance?" Five judges sat across her, closely observing this attractive girl with unique talents.

"It went like this..." although somewhat nervous, she largely recounted the events.

"Did you not think of fleeing at the time? Clearly, this is not something a student should face," a stern female investigator across her pushed her glasses, scrutinizing this girl with the unusual performance.

"What I thought at the time was that if I left, it would probably spread, and the consequences would be severe," the girl explained her motives.

"Are you really that noble? You do realize that a slight misstep means dying down there or being corrupted by Infection, turning into a madman."

"I can probably withstand a certain degree of corruption, which is related to my Talent," she stated.

"Talent?" One of the investigators flipped through the files, attempting to find more records, but suddenly the screen displayed a message.

'Insufficient access permissions to view this citizen's detailed information, please consult your superior or contact the Central Archives.' Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

"Uh..." Faced with this rare occurrence, the interrogators frowned slightly, realizing that the girl they encountered today was no ordinary individual.

The interrogators paused, and then a prompt sound rang out in the interrogation room. One of them picked up the communicator on the table and a conversation ensued.

"...Yes, understood, we are aware." He responded while glancing at the black-haired girl sitting calmly across from him. There was a soundproof glass barrier between them, but it seemed the girl had heard the conversation and gave him a slight nod of apology.

"Well, it seems that your case is quite special," the lead person stood up, whispering a few words to his colleagues, and then left the room.

Not long after, a man in a deep blue stand-up collar uniform entered the interrogation room. He turned on the warm light above, slightly relaxing the atmosphere, and then lowered the metal glass that separated the middle.

"Good evening, Hexia. I hope the recent situation didn't alarm you," he tried to ease the mood, but his naturally square face, professional attire, and burly figure did not easily lend a sense of relaxation.

Fortunately, Hexia was not one to judge by appearance. Due to her Songstress Talent, she could easily discern others' emotions and lies, and she perceived that the other party indeed harbored good intentions towards her.

"Good evening. May I know your name?" the girl nodded.

"My name is Chimera, affiliated with the Central Tribunal of the Federal Center, and I hold the position of High Rank Investigator." He showed his identity ID and anti-fraud key.

"The Central Tribunal of the Federal Center... that's quite impressive," Hexia noticed the Cobalt Blue Star emblem on his collar. It signified that he was a member committed to following the legacy of Emuralin, sworn to upholding the fairness and unity of the Federation.

Although members of the Cobalt Blue Star Tear Faction are often known for their integrity and sternness, such traits can also make them daunting and difficult to approach.

"Mr. Chimera, do you have all my information in your possession now?" The girl was curious about how she was perceived at the Federal Court of Judgment.

"We only know more than Edith Academy does, and beyond that, I cannot say more." He shook his head.
