Zhan Yuchen, seeing these witches, discerned that they weren't students of The First University, for a very simple reason.
Because they weren't dressed in the school's coat of arms with four colors, or the grey and black robes common to students, rather they wore distinctive black and white maid uniforms — if students of The First University wore such outlandish garments on campus, they'd lose academic points if caught by the Patrol Team.
Especially when one of the witches turned her head to converse with her companion, the guardian of the Pet Garden became adamant in his judgment.
Because he saw two 'ears'.
Two that were on top of her head, 'ears' that were absolutely impossible for a normal wizard to possess.
