After all, for the witches, the shooting distance of mortals is almost like hitting the bullseye with their eyes closed. Naturally, the practice distance for witch archers is also superhuman.
Miss Witch took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. The warm breath flowed from between her teeth, eting the coolness of the morning, and turned into a distinct white mist.
As her breath ca to an end, Amaterasu Mikoto Setsuna's eyes focused, and she released the bowstring in her hand.
The next mont, the magic-powered arrow soared through the sky, creating several sonic booms, transforming into a stream of light that traveled thousands of miles in an instant, accurately hitting the straw target's.....
Hmm, the ninth ring...
"Tsk....."
The young Miss Witch clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.
This result might be good for others, but she was not satisfied. She had made a mistake.
"Setsuna, your heart is troubled."
A gentle voice ca from beside her, carrying a hint of coolness.
Miss Witch turned around to see her teacher, who had been ditating with her eyes closed, now watching her quietly.
Amaterasu Mikoto Setsuna remained silent, but in front of the teacher who had raised her like both a ntor and a mother, she had nothing to hide.
She was indeed a bit troubled.
"Teacher, why don't you ever discipline those Chinese Clan people down the mountain? They're becoming more and more outrageous, turning the whole of Japan into a living Hell."
In the past couple of days, she had gone down the mountain several tis to handle matters for her teacher. Although she returned as soon as the tasks were completed and did not linger, the sights along the way irked her greatly.
This hotown really was as rotten as ever.
Previously, she could at least turn a blind eye, but after seeing the outside world, she found it increasingly difficult to tolerate the oppressive atmosphere down the mountain.
She didn't understand why her teacher, as the Divine Witch and Lord of Japan, never took action against the corrupt officials below.
"Setsuna, I have taught you that an archer must remain calm. If you don't have absolute confidence, never rush to release the bow, lest you frighten the prey and miss the chance for a deadly strike."
Miss Divine Witch calmly looked at her sowhat agitated disciple and said.
"But how long do we have to wait? Teacher, if our strength is lacking, we could seek outside help. As long as the arrow is thick enough, even if it startles the prey, it can still critically wound it. I've t a very formidable person in the Judgnt Court, as long as she..."
Amaterasu Mikoto Setsuna grew impatient listening to her teacher's overly rigid reasoning, which she'd heard countless tis before. She thought her teacher was too stubborn. In this era, why insist on resolving issues alone when reporting them to the Judgnt Court could easily solve them?
"No, Japan's issues can only be resolved by Japan itself. We must not involve external witches."
Miss Divine Witch firmly rejected her disciple's suggestion.
"Why?"
The young Miss Witch was also quite defiant this ti, stubbornly looking at her teacher.
"Teacher, why would you rather believe in an ancient prophecy without any evidence than trust the tangible strength around us?"
"That Natural Saint is just a legend, even if it's true, what does it matter? We are in the Western Universe, not the Eastern Universe. Why would a saint from the Eastern Universe save Japan in the Western Universe?"
As the Future Divine Witch, Amaterasu Mikoto Setsuna was aware of many mysteries of Japan, such as the true purpose of the whole island was to await the birth of a Natural Saint, as once prophesied by the Eastern Sages.
But that was the task of the Ancestors of the Immortals. Why should the descendants like them also follow this reclusive mandate?
Although the Japanese witches were descendants of the Immortals, they were also witches, so why should a group of witches serve a saint among the immortals? Isn't venerating the Three Witch Monarchs more gratifying?
Amaterasu Mikoto Setsuna was different from other Japanese witches. She never felt proud of being a descendant of the Immortals. She identified more closely with her Witch Bloodline.
And as a witch, she naturally should revere the Three Witch Monarchs, not so uncertain saint. In her opinion, Japan should have lifted its isolation long ago and actively engaged with external witches to integrate into the Witch World.
"Oh teacher, I know you are focused on waiting for that saint, but flowing water doesn't rot. Blindly clinging to old ways will only turn Japan into a foul cesspool. Not everyone has the selfless dedication you have to this mission. How many people on Japan do you think are still committed to waiting for the saint's arrival?"
"No one at all."
"Why did people once take pride in being descendants of the Immortals? Because they believed it ant one day having the opportunity to follow the saint back to the Eastern Universe's holand."
"But now? Are those so-called descendants of the Immortals still driven by that goal?"
"Not anymore. Being descendants of the Immortals is now just an excuse for the Chinese Clans to solidify their own status. Where is the pride of being a descendant of the Immortals?"
