So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 221: Vivian vs. Janna

Upon hearing that Vivian intended to challenge Janna, not only were Bell-Moonshadow and the others taken aback, but even Janna herself raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Not bad, now that's a real challenge."

This time, the third-year apprentices brought by Grace-Eva were all seasoned second-level witch apprentices.

However, in Grace-Eva's eyes, compared to challenging these third-year apprentices, Vivian, who dared to challenge Janna, was undoubtedly more deserving of commendation.

After all, Janna was the champion of this "Three-School Joint Examination," and was universally acknowledged as the top second-level apprentice.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Vivian's challenge was bound to end in failure. Nevertheless, just for this courage alone, Grace-Eva would look at Vivian with newfound respect.

"Student Janna, do you accept the challenge?"

"I accept."

Looking into Vivian's eyes, brimming with fighting spirit, Janna didn't know why the other had chosen her,

But when faced with a battle invitation, Janna never refused.

"The usual rules: no use of any witch tools throughout the match, including wands. Is there any problem?"

"No problem."

After listening to Grace-Eva's pre-battle rules, the two exchanged a glance and then walked together onto the combat training platform.

"Surprised?"

As they walked onto the combat training platform, Vivian's voice sounded in Janna's ear through a sound transmission.

"Only surprised, not delighted."

Seeing Vivian's eager expression, Janna couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

"You suddenly changed your nature and decided to challenge me?"

According to Janna's understanding of Vivian, she knew that without a special reason, Vivian would never make such a decision.

Similarly, after hearing Janna's question, Vivian remained silent for a long time before slowly saying:

"Actually, I originally wanted to give Bell a good beating today to vent my anger, but more than that, I'm concerned about the gap between you and me—"

Since the middle of last year, Vivian had been in seclusion, cultivating in the Rose Family's internal Extreme Cold Secret Realm. And each time she gritted her teeth to persevere, the motivation came from the goal of "catching up to Janna," a goal that even her family couldn't understand.

In fact, Vivian herself didn't understand why she couldn't just accept her mediocrity and, like before, stay in her comfort zone and live her life peacefully.

After all, although she was the eldest daughter of the Rose Family, her initial talent was a C-level, not even considered ordinary.

Her promotion to B-level was purely due to the Rose Family's wealth, pouring in a large amount of resources to achieve it by luck.

It was precisely with such an extremely ordinary starting talent that when Vivian's family heard she wanted to participate in the Dordogne-White Tower Trial, their first reaction was to think she was delusional.

They even thought that at her current age, she was still too young and inexperienced.

To push herself to challenge such an unrealistic goal for someone she had known for less than a year was completely irresponsible and a very immature behavior.

However, it was this seemingly shallow and childish reason that truly allowed Vivian to grit her teeth and endure through countless days and nights when she wanted to give up.

To be honest, Vivian had asked herself several times: among the many peers she grew up with, why was she particularly drawn to Janna?

Even now, she couldn't answer.

But there was one thing she could be sure of: Janna was the most outstanding peer she knew, bar none.

Born in the lower city district, not receiving any family resource tilt, able to get along well with everyone around her, liked by everyone, hardworking in studies, diligent in cultivation, independent in character, and resilient—so many advantages, like stars in the sky, always made Vivian feel they were out of reach.

It was precisely such a person that, whenever Vivian thought of her, an infinite strength seemed to surge in her chest, forcing her to overcome those seemingly impossible difficulties—

She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Having already stepped onto the combat training ground, Vivian looked at Janna, who was also standing not far away, and a nervousness that made her heart feel like it would jump out of her chest made her expression more solemn than ever.

"Janna—please, don't hold back." The source of this content ɪs novel_fіre.net

Janna, who could clearly hear the nervousness in Vivian's voice, nodded calmly and then seriously said:

"I will give it my all."

Buzz—at the moment the battle began, a crimson light flashed in front of Janna. With the completion of the incantation, an elemental creature engulfed in orange flames suddenly appeared in front of Janna.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"—the sound of breaking wind rang out. Knowing Janna's attack patterns well, Vivian immediately launched more than ten ice spikes emitting cold air toward her opponent's position.

However, when the ice spikes were just one meter away from Janna, they were all firmly blocked by a layer of emerald green shield.

"Explode!"

Seeing the ice spikes blocked by [Flourishing Guard], while dodging the flame guardian's attacks, Vivian quickly made casting gestures with both hands. Without any pause, more than ten ice spikes rapidly expanded and exploded like fireworks, emitting deafening blasts.

"Boom—boom—boom"—seeing their master being ambushed, the flame guardian angrily hurled several fireballs toward Vivian's direction.

However, as an elemental apprentice, Vivian's movement speed was surprisingly fast. Even compared to Bell-Moonshadow, who was skilled in surprise attacks, she was not far behind.

"La la la la—"

The ice mist dissipated, and butterfly wings spread open.

Unaffected, Janna immediately cast [Basic Transformation], transforming into a butterfly-winged form and soaring into the air, then quickly cast [Siren's Chant].

"Boom—boom—boom—"

Another series of ice spikes attacked. Having already sealed her hearing with magic power early on, Vivian was unaffected by [Siren's Chant]. Moreover, she used her speed advantage to continuously kite the flame guardian, using endurance to deplete the flame guardian's magic power.

"By my will, I command you, summon—Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon."

"By my will, I command you, summon—Thorn Flower Fairy."

Taking advantage of the gap while Vivian was entangled with the flame guardian, Janna immediately chanted incantations, summoning her other two main forces.

"Lola, use thorns to restrict her movement."

"Silver Mirror, construct mirror illusions to trap her directly."

"Yes, master—"
