Miss Witch, even if we're poor, we can't sell ourselves!

The moment the exam began, the MikuFans homepage was completely taken over by the official Tsuki no Mori livestream.

Hundreds of candidates' perspectives are online simultaneously. Each small square represents a young witch adapting to a new environment. Some have fallen into a swamp, some are hanging from a tree, and some are lucky enough to land on flat ground and are enchanting their weapons.

The number of viewers exceeded one million within minutes, and the barrage of comments surged like a dam bursting.

Outside the examination hall, all the witches of Bellavita stopped working.

Office workers in the building set their work groups to "Do Not Disturb," and ignore messages from colleagues popping up in the lower right corner of their screens, figuring the other person is probably watching the live stream too, and neither of them will report the other.

In Nightingale's Nest, Korika left the mop by the bar and didn't touch it again. Zimi Lu didn't even wipe the cocktail shaker. The two of them propped their phones up on the bar, with a plate of sunflower seeds and two glasses of sparkling water in front of them.

Meanwhile, Flores sat on a high stool next to her, legs crossed, holding a glass of red wine. Three split screens were open on her screen: one showing Mi Ye's perspective, one showing the official live stream, and the other showing the real-time debate thread on the forum.

Within three minutes of the start of the martial arts exam, the forum's martial arts section was flooded with tens of thousands of new posts.

The pinned post contains the official list of test takers and their basic information, and it has received over 10,000 replies. The top posts are all analysis posts and support posts.

Flipping down a few pages, the most eye-catching thing is a title highlighted in red and bold.

[Open for business! Who will win this year's martial arts competition?]

Clicking through, a long list of voting options appeared, with the names receiving the most votes being dubbed this year's top contenders by netizens.

The first one is named Asase.

In the discussion thread, someone cropped and enlarged her ID photo. Her short black hair just covered her ears, her bangs were cut very neatly, and the ends of her hair were straight like a knife blade.

Her eyes were dark gray, and the katana on her back was almost as tall as her. The scabbard was dark blue and wrapped with several leather straps engraved with ice runes.

The comments below were full of things like "Sister is so cool," "Asase-sama, please cut me," and "Sister, deduct me," and so on.

The second person's name is Xiaoye.

Short red hair with slightly curled ends, amber eyes that are always half-closed, and a mysterious smile on his lips.

In her ID photo, everyone else was looking directly at the camera, but she turned her face slightly to the side and raised her chin slightly.

Besides these top contenders, another post on the forum is experiencing a surge in popularity.

The title is: "Is that flesh magic major the same little girl who was trending on social media before?"

Clicking through, the main post displayed two comparison images.

On the left is a screenshot of the Meredith lap pillow trending on social media. In the picture, Miya, a maid from Nightingale's Nest, is looking back with a tray in hand, her profile softened by the warm yellow light.

On the right is a candid shot taken at today's martial arts test site. Mi Ye is standing behind Bie Chenye, her windbreaker zipped up to her chin. Bie Chenye's large hat covers half of his face, revealing a light golden head and two bright red ears.

The lighting angles in the two photos are completely different, but the facial features do look similar.

The replies went on for several pages.

Some people are absolutely certain that it's the same person, because the shape of their ears is exactly the same!

Some people refused to believe it, saying that the little maid worked at the Nightingale's Nest, and you're telling me she can also take the Moon Forest exam.

They claim that Moon Forest is the world's number one magic academy. Who would prepare for Moon Forest's entrance exam while working at a bar? Do they think that passing Moon Forest's entrance exam is as easy as doing a few practice questions like getting a driver's license?

Some people even made more outrageous comments, saying that if you look closely, the one taking the exam is obviously fatter.

Miya was currently crouching in the jungle, digging for herbs under a giant fern, completely unaware of the debate about her weight.

If she saw this reply, she would probably break down on the spot.

What does "a little chubby" even mean?

She only ate some wild vegetables and herbs these past few days. The free pharmacy in the back mountain is full of edible things. Golden tear mushrooms are herbs, and hemostatic herbs are also herbs. She just chewed a few more, so how could she have gained weight? She really hasn't gained weight!

Although she had eaten two plates of breakfast that Bie Chenye had made recently, it was because it was the first time her teacher had cooked for her students, and she was too embarrassed to leave any. After she finished eating, Bie Chenye looked at her with a very satisfied look, which made her feel like it would be a crime not to eat a few more bites.

[It's clearly the same person. Look at that shy expression, it's exactly the same.]

If my little maid gets into Tsuki no Mori, I'll eat my cat!

Has anyone taken a screenshot? Remember to livestream yourself eating it!

[Screenshot taken!]

As the buildings grew taller and taller, it eventually turned into a gambling game.

The odds of betting on whether these two people are the same person once soared to 1 to 3.

But no matter how noisy it was outside, Miya couldn't hear it at that moment.

She was in the ancient jungle of the Mirror World, surrounded only by the dripping leaves of ferns, and the distant roar of a waterfall could be faintly heard.

The arguments on the forum, the chat in the live stream, and the odds of the betting games—these things are separated from this primeval forest by a barrier of an entire magical space, and for the time being, they cannot reach her ears.

The exam countdown had already jumped to the first hour, and the first loud explosion came from deep in the jungle, indicating that some candidates had already started exchanging fire.
