It's weird to apply for Witch Academy as a boy

I hope it doesn't explode. The wind element and the fire element shouldn't explode like the ice element, right?

should…

In short, the spell book absorbs magic power and begins to transform.

Soon the wind blade appeared, but there didn't seem to be the fire blade that I expected to see.

The wind blade just circled around my hand and stayed in my hand like a vortex of wind.

But the more I observed, the more I felt something was wrong. This wind-heat was a little abnormal.

The wind element seems to suppress the fire element. The fire element does exist, but it does not manifest itself as flames externally. However, the rising temperature still tells me that the fire element is indeed inside.

Doesn't this mean that this is a spell that combines two elements?

I looked at the modified spell book and quickly discovered the problem. After the modification, the consumption was too high and the magic power conversion rate was extremely low!

In other words, my idea at the moment is still not perfect and needs further research, but it also gives me a new direction to try.

Fortunately, the runes that moved were not the underlying runes inside the spell books, otherwise I would really be afraid that the spell books would be damaged by me.

"My patience has its limits! What do you mean by ignoring me like this!"

"Sorry, forgot to deal with you, let's try this."

I looked at the opponent's figure rushing towards me again. At this moment, her transformation spell had been lifted, but the spell in her hand was obviously a melee spell used in conjunction with the transformation.

Little sister, don’t you want to learn some long-range spells?

The wind vortex in my hand was thrown out by me, and the wind blade that shot out turned into a half-moon arc at this moment. The extremely high temperature made the air in its path become distorted. The tail of the wind blade now emitted a transparent flame, which crashed into Chen Yu's flaming cat claws with high temperature. Anyway, I don't know the name of that spell, but it seems to be called this.

"Wind Blade again?"

The wind blade was extremely fast and Chen Yu had no way to avoid it, especially since it was her last sprint just now and she didn't expect the opponent to launch a sneak attack like this.

Having the advantage but still not following martial ethics!

But as for the wind blade... she felt she should be able to catch it. After all, the wind blade would not explode like a fireball. It just had extreme speed and the sharp cutting power of the wind. She understood this common sense.

But when she raised her flaming claws to block the wind blade, the wind blade was sharper than she had expected, and she even felt it had a violent feeling like fire.

A gust of hot wind brought high-temperature flames towards her body.

This is definitely not the flame of my magic!

The Flame Claws spell is designed to scare people so as not to burn the caster. All the fire elements are condensed into sharp claws to enhance the cutting ability.

At this moment, she felt as if her clothes were on fire, and her long hair on her forehead became curly and deformed due to the high temperature.

“It’s…on fire!”

At this time, the live commentary screen at venue No. 12 was also filled with joy, and the commentator didn't know how to commentate.

"Player No. 12 in the No. 223 field used a fire spell, but was set on fire by Player No. 14's wind spell. This is another famous scene..."

"Very good, contestant No. 223 has chosen to admit defeat. The referee quickly stepped forward to check on contestant No. 223. So... let us congratulate contestant No. 14 for winning the final victory."

Chapter 164: Real Editor and Spell Book

Is this victory?

I looked down at my hands, somewhat incredulous. Was this just a matter of a few spells?

The other party actually shouted that he gave up just because his clothes and hair were smoldering due to the high temperature?

As expected...I'm not a normal girl, right?

"Well, are you okay? The senior sister in the infirmary knows healing techniques and hair growth techniques. It won't disfigure you, so you'll be fine." I went forward to comfort her.

Although I don't know whether there are such spells, they are essential to ensure the normal safety of the players.

"I know... this... does this count as showing mercy?" The girl was crying a little miserably at this time, and she was also accusing me, but due to the high temperature burns, her crying could not be considered as tears.

"Well... I only used the spell about three or four times in total... I guess I was showing some mercy... Okay..." I was about to explain, but after I did so, the other party seemed even sadder.

With my limited knowledge of comforting people, it took me a moment to figure it out. Defeating the opponent with four spells should be considered a taunt, right?

"Uh...sorry."

In the end, the girl named Chen Yu was taken away by the referee. This kind of injury is very common for contestants, not to mention that it was just a burn.

The game lasted only a short time in total and it was the easiest game I have ever had.

What I gained more from it was naturally my understanding of the spell book.

If the magic power for transformation can be of any element, then if I have a spell book, theoretically, wouldn't that mean I own all the spell books of that type?

This is still distinguished by different elements. What if it is a spell type?

Similar to Fireball, or Fire Blade, or something else.

This discovery is so wonderful that I can’t wait to try out new spells!

Haha! Once I have mastered this aspect of runes, the so-called spellbook restrictions will be nothing more than a hurdle for me, and my methods will be richer than before.

At this time, there is the teacher's auditorium.

Because there were many freshmen competing against each other, after the first day, many teachers simply did not come.

Of course, there were also many teachers who came to take a look for the sake of their students, such as Ji Niang.

"Xi Lan, your student is not simple. You even gave him a dual-elemental energy spell?"

"Why can't my students do it themselves? It's not something that is impossible." Ji Niang asked back, leaning back on her seat with her legs crossed.

"It's not that it can't be done. What's going on with you? Are you giving your students special treatment again?" The teacher at the side spoke in a sarcastic tone. After all, she was really shocked by Ji Niang's words.

"No, I have it easy as a teacher. I just gave my student a book of runes. I guess she figured it out on her own."

"Huh? You're teaching runes to the freshmen on your own? Oh! Wait, where are you going?"

"Of course I'm leaving. My students have all finished their competitions. What's there to watch? I have to go back and teach Xiao Han a lesson. Don't waste all your spell books. After all, I'm a teacher and I still have to educate my students."

"Haha, I hope your Xiaohan will be poached by someone else!" Ji Niang left here facing the vicious curse from the side.

She also didn't expect that Xiao Han had already started to modify the runes. She originally wanted to let Xiao Han understand it first, but she didn't expect that the other party would use it so quickly.

She had to go over and urgently explain the precautions and taboos, otherwise no matter how many spell books there were, they would not be enough for Xiao Han to spend.

Of course, I will also transfer the resources I have obtained from the college to Xiaohan.

She didn’t know what happened to the deans. They suddenly changed their ways and gave in so quickly that the excuses she had prepared didn’t even have to be used. In fact, the resources they fought for were even more than she expected!

Although this is a good thing, it also indirectly shows something. Something must have happened that led to the current situation.

I believe that it won’t be long before the notice is given, and the dean won’t have to hide it for too long from all of you who are also extraordinary witches.

at this time.

I leisurely returned to my lounge and adjusted myself a little, then looked at the time. It was still a long time before the afternoon.

Then he returned to the spectator seats.

It is undoubtedly a waste of time for me to return to the laboratory for further research during this period of time. I might as well study the runes. I want to see what the specific function of the previous rune ritual is.

But just when I was looking through the contents of those combined runes, I was called by Ji Niang who suddenly arrived. It was then that I realized that Teacher Ji Niang was here.

During the time I spent with Teacher Ji Niang, I felt that she was not the kind of witch who had nothing to do but wander around. She probably called me at this time because she had something to ask, so I quickly closed the book and trotted over.

"Teacher Ji Niang, is there something wrong?"

I asked curiously, I seemed to have seen Teacher Ji Niang in the teachers' audience seats at the competition venue before, but the teacher came over as soon as I finished the game. Could it be related to the competition?

"There are too many people here, let's go to your lounge and talk." Ji Niang didn't say anything in a hurry, but took me directly to my lounge.

Each contestant has a lounge, which is a personal space where they can do some private things. However, after Teacher Ji Niang took me in, she closed the door and released an isolation spell that enveloped the entire lounge.

"Um, Teacher Ji Niang, is there something important?" I asked carefully. We have already been cast an isolation spell. The last time I was treated like this was when I signed the confidentiality agreement.

"I watched your game just now. Have you started to get in touch with runes?" Ji Niang found a place to sit down and then got straight to the point.

"Yes, Teacher Ji Niang, didn't you give me the rune book? Is there... any problem?" I responded naturally. Could it be that Teacher Ji Niang felt that I was progressing too fast and was forcing things?

"Nothing, I'm just very pleased with your free exploration. Sometimes I have to admire your talent. The things you come up with can always bring amazing feelings to others.

"Hehe...Well, thank you teacher for the compliment." I smiled a little embarrassedly after being praised by Teacher Ji Niang, but I still responded politely.

"I'm not praising you. Do you think that "thinking nonsense" is a good adjective? No matter how many spell books you have, it won't be enough to ruin your family. Do you know what "gradual progress" means?"

"Oh? I know...I know."

Teacher Ji Niang's tone suddenly reversed, which made me a little confused. Okay, I admit that it is indeed very metaphysical to modify the spell book in this way, but as long as you have ideas and thoughts, you should give it a try. Isn't this what you should do?

Or is it that even learning to modify spell books has a standardized teaching schedule?

"I can actually let you do whatever you want to do if you want to modify the internal structure of the spellbook, but it's different when it comes to runes. Runes are something that can't be tampered with. Since you already have a certain understanding of runes, let me ask you what runes are?"

"Well... runes are rituals, and are also the most basic ritual units. Because of this feature, runes are combinatorial, forming more complex rituals. It seems that all rituals in the world can be expressed with runes. Rituals that cannot be expressed are those that involve undiscovered runes." I recalled the information in the preface of the book and said it roughly.

"Yes, this is the rune, one of the most important discoveries in the supernatural world. It is an important component of supernatural power. So do you know what the essence of the spell book is?" Ji Niang nodded and continued to ask.

"Forehead…"

Faced with Ji Niang's question, I didn't know how to start. It was obvious that this question was beyond the scope, but Teacher Ji Niang asked it anyway.

That in itself says a lot, so I tentatively offered my own thoughts, "A spellbook is... a collection of runes?"

"If you insist on understanding it this way, there is nothing wrong with it. The spell book does have traces of runes inside and out. I think you can definitely see that."

Ji Niang did not deny my guess. It seemed that she was not too surprised that I could guess this. After all, clairvoyance is not a joke.

"Yeah." I nodded silently in agreement.

"That's not a big problem, but... I'm going to introduce a concept to you here, which is the 'real editing' technology."

Having said this, Ji Niang paused, as if to make me realize the importance of what she was saying at the moment.

"For example, have you ever used a computer? Do you know anything about programming? You don't have to know too much, I'm just asking if you know this concept."

"Yeah, I understand." When Ji Niang told me the real story, I should have realized that if the end of the world is code... isn't this truth a little... hair-raising?

"Real editing is almost like this. If you think of the world as a computer, then runes are codes, and spellbooks are products edited in this way, just like... software. But this is just a figurative metaphor and cannot be directly understood as a replacement. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"That's good. I'll take this opportunity to tell you all the relevant knowledge. Even if you don't understand it now, you have to remember it. You will understand it slowly in the future."

At this time, Ji Niang's tone became solemn, and it seemed that what she was going to say next was something very important.

"If we continue to use computers as examples, this concept is still very vivid. First of all, you have to understand a concept: emptiness."

"There are countless worlds in the void, and the world you are in now is one of them. If we compare the entire void to a computer, then this is the most primitive computer."

"Runes are analogous to codes. The essence of runes is ritual, so ritual is an important part of the void. The exploration of extraordinary life is the initial use of runes to utilize and control extraordinary power. The earliest life did not know the concept of runes. It only knew that it could trigger wonderful phenomena when performing specific behaviors. Eventually, the concept of ritual was abstracted and summarized, and then the clear concept of runes was formed after continuous evolution."

"Using the power of runes, it has been continuously summarized and generalized over time, and has become a very common technology now, real editing."

"Real editing is divided into two concepts, one is real, the other is editing. You understand the concept of editing very well, right?" Ji Niang looked at me and asked.

"Yeah, I guess I understand." I nodded in response.

"Then the concept of reality is a bit complicated, but I will try to describe it as simply as possible. Xiaohan, I heard that the society outside the academy seems to have analyzed the ability of clairvoyance. There is a bold guy who proposed the concept of the inner and outer world. You should have read about it, right?"

“I have seen…”

I nodded and said that this concept would inexplicably become popular every once in a while. Ordinary people have thoughts about the extraordinary, so they are naturally very interested in these speculations.

"Actually, what that guy said wasn't too wrong. His only mistake was that he didn't know enough about himself. But this concept is very interesting, dividing the world into two sides."

"So... this world really has an inside and outside?" I asked tentatively.

"That's not quite accurate. Not only this world, but the entire void can be divided into two sides. The world we live in is generally the normal world. What we see, hear, and feel with our senses is the normal world. So do you think there is another side to this world?"

"…exist!"

I said firmly, if the world felt by all senses is the normal world, then what about the world seen by the psychic vision? The world seen by the psychic vision is the other side of this world!

"It seems you have thought of it. Your spiritual vision takes you to another side of the world. That world also has its name. It is called True Time."

"Because of some arrogant guys, our normal world also has another name, called false time. But don't be fooled by the name. Real or false? It is stupid to be so arrogant to divide the world into real and fake. It is to highlight their nobility and contempt for creatures that cannot recognize real time."

In order to prevent Xiao Han from falling into the whirlpool of self-doubt and philosophy between truth and falsehood, Ji Niang quickly began to explain, because life can easily fall into false self-doubt, and she didn't want Xiao Han to say for no reason that all this is meaningless or something like that.

"How about it? Can you accept it?" Ji Niang looked at me and asked tentatively.
