42. Origin and Heavenly Mandate

"Um, what's wrong?"

Dorothy was startled by the violent reactions of the master and disciple. Her body shivered, and then she cautiously and slightly aggrievedly asked.

"Isn't this Rank not very useful? It's just a certification document, it can't really improve my strength."

The master and disciple were stunned for a moment as if they remembered something; their expressions eased a bit, and then the Angel Witch was the first to speak up.

"Miss, you seem to have always been studying at the Mage Academy, so perhaps you really don't understand. Actually, a witch's Rank not only proves her identity but also relates to another very important thing, which is the witch's Heavenly Mandate."

Sophia remembered the setting of the young miss before her as a veteran homebody and that she even graduated from the basic Mage Academy courses through online classes, rarely actually attending the academy. This had led to a certain lack of common sense for her.
