Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

The leisurely summer vacation has ended, and the fulfilling yet tense new school term has begun.

Logically speaking, the status and position of a Songstress are already at the top of the Federation, and rarely does anyone dare to strictly manage them. However, even among Songstresses, there is a hierarchy, with differences in age and seniority. Therefore, to teach and discipline the new generation of Songstresses, the elder Songstresses often act as teachers, for effective management and discipline.

In the empty classroom, there were no seats, and at the only lectern stood a tall woman with a severe and cold demeanor. Her large maroon hair flowed like a cloak, and she held a black slender pointer in her hand. Just standing there, she exerted pressure on the few young girls below.

"Originally, I didn't want to come here, because in my opinion, teaching you naive and pure people who know nothing is a waste of time."

"However, since Idrylia couldn't do it well, rather than letting you waste away, it's better for me to drill you, so you can quickly learn what a Songstress ought to know."

After speaking, she swung the pointer in her hand through the air, creating a cracking sound, causing Blanchi and the others below to shudder. Although it didn't hit their bodies, they already felt a certain pain.

"Today, I have already arranged with the school's medical department to conduct a comprehensive health check-up for you all in the morning, to assess your health and Transcendent Sequence learning status. In the afternoon, I'll take you for combat training, honing your combat response ability, and various safety knowledge."

"In the next two months, I hope you all acquire self-defense abilities for various emergencies, rather than being like a baby needing others to worry about everything, and then blaming others for not protecting you well after getting hurt."

"Do you understand?" Her tone dropped heavily on the last syllables.

"Understood." The few present took a deep breath and responded.

Soon, they were taken to the school's medical department, undergoing a comprehensive body examination, and handed over to a super AI for analysis, to develop future nutrition supplement plans and training guidelines.

...

In the afternoon, dressed in training uniforms, they received training in the combat arena. Unlike previous combat training, this time a variety of weapons, firearms, and combat tools were laid out before the Songstress girls.

"Reality isn't a campus; no one will greet you in advance, and no one will only use melee weapons to fight you. Various firearms will be the attack methods you often face, so you'd better familiarize yourself with their performance and usage."

Then, Yarnasha instructed Tilan and the others to first pick up the various pistols from the table.

"Although handguns are not very powerful, their portability is excellent, easy to use, and simple to handle, often the first choice for newcomers." While saying this, she let each choose one, and then turned to face the shooting range to adapt and find the feel.

"Combat is a race against time; the advantage of shooting first is often a matter of life or death. If you can shoot the enemy first, don't hold back and let them pose a danger."

"Today, I will first teach you how to shoot, and the emergency draw and evasion postures in various situations." She stepped off the lectern, picked up a blue-plated pistol, aimed at a distant target, and shot with a bang.

The others also began to shoot, with Blanchi appearing the most clumsy and flustered. Ores and Shui Yanqing were capable, but not proficient; Audrey and Prin were much more adept, while Hexia was almost a marksman.

This impressed Yarnasha, feeling that among the group, this black-haired Songstress met her expectations the most.

"Have you learned before?" She could tell this wasn't Tilan's first day handling firearms.

"Yes, I trained back in high school."

"Ah, I remember now. You were also attacked before, so you must have undergone considerable training thereafter." Yarnasha recalled the events that happened in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain years ago.

In the following days, Yarnasha guided the Songstresses to familiarize themselves with various firearms' usage scenarios and learn about their pros and cons, teaching them how to defend and consciously avoid dangerous locations.

"These awareness habits I've mentioned need to become ingrained in you. Whenever you see a dead angle or advantageous shooting position, you must be vigilant and think if there could be an ambush, and how you would prepare your defenses. Sometimes, even having a piece of glass ahead when giving a speech can resolve most sniper threats."

"The power of bullets may not compare to many Extraordinary Abilities' attack effects, but their stealth and suddenness remain the primary means of assassination, and this cannot be ignored."

After the Songstresses completed the first phase of learning, she distributed customized protective gear to them and sent them to a specially designed abandoned building for live-action gunfights. However, the bullets in the firearms were weakened, unable to penetrate high-grade combat suits, only causing some bruising and pain.

"About 50 AI-controlled humanoid Autonomous Units have been deployed in the building. Your objective is to destroy them within the allocated time."

"If unsuccessful, you'll go hungry for the day. Don't worry, you'll have water and won't starve, but it will certainly be uncomfortable."

After listening to her words, the six prepared themselves mentally, and at that moment, Yarnasha glanced at Hexia and added another sentence.

"And you, Tilan, you're prohibited from using unconventional methods of fighting. You know what I mean."

"Ah? I understand." Though surprised that Yarnasha specifically named her, the girl quickly grasped her point.
