Time rewound to five minutes earlier.
The Three Witches, beaten so badly they couldn't move, were maliciously cursing the Succubus Witch about to take the baseline test, even starting a betting pool on how long Madeline could last.
"One second, no more."
Above Dorothy's head, Hat Senior Sister opened her starry eyes, declaring so decisively.
"Eh, come on, not that fast. Madeline is so powerful she can't just flop over in a second. Then what's the point of the test?"
Although she knew that senior Fanny's judgment probably wasn't wrong, Dorothy still asked, somewhat puzzled.
If this were a real fight and their own mother directly one-shot the Succubus Witch, Dorothy would believe it because, after all, if a Peak Witch were fighting an Elite Witch and needed a second move, that would be the real issue.
