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

"Of course~ I've always had good luck!" Annie said confidently, "By the way, do you want to have lunch with me?"

"Going to dinner with you? Since it's your celebration, you should have brought other people with you, right? Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go?" I politely declined and asked to get some ideas.

"Others? That's a good question. It seems there aren't any yet. Xiaohan, you're the first one I invited!"

"Huh?" I looked at Annie with some surprise. I was the first one?

I've only met Annie a few times, right? Is that why she should be the first to invite me?

And I remember that she was a very timid girl when I first met her. How come she has become lively now? Is she the type who is timid in front of strangers but lively in front of familiar people?

"What are you talking about? If you don't come, I really don't know who to invite." Annie lowered her head as if she was wronged.

"No, wait, you should be the monitor of Class 66, right? Just because you are the monitor, doesn't that mean you don't have any friends in the class?"

"Friends? No. Those guys in my class want to kill me. I have no friends at all, and I don't want to play with them." Annie pouted and muttered.

"what?"

Listening to Annie's explanation, I fell into a blind spot of knowledge. How did Annie become the monitor of Class 66?

And that’s what I asked.

"Wait, Annie, how did you get elected as the monitor of Class 66?"

"Me? How would I know? I don't even want to be the class monitor. We are all new students, and we are all rookies in the field of supernatural powers. So we quarreled for no apparent reason and finally decided by drawing lots. I am the unlucky one who was drawn!"

When Annie was asked this question by me, she seemed to get angry immediately, but as she spoke further, her tone was filled with weakness.

"No one expected this to happen. After I was elected class monitor, many people were dissatisfied. Some even asked me to give up the position. But I heard from my counselor that being a class monitor would bring extra resources, so I agreed. Now that I have the strength, those guys in the class don't dare to provoke me, but they don't like me. Anyway, the situation is deadlocked. Everyone knows how to have the cold war."

"Haha...haha, your class is full of personality..." I laughed dryly a few times, not knowing how to start comforting them.

Isn't it uncomfortable for Annie just thinking about her daily life?

"Yes, so, Xiaohan, please have lunch with me~" At this moment, Annie was begging me with a pitiful expression like a kitten.

"Okay, okay." After hearing his weak requests, I finally agreed.

Anyway, I didn't have any plans for lunch, so I didn't mind accompanying my friend.

"Really? That's great!" Annie excitedly came right up to me, sat on my armrest, and stuck close to me.

"Hey? What are you doing?" I was shocked by Annie's behavior. After all, it was such close contact with a girl, so I would subconsciously resist.

"Well, Sister Xiaohan, do you mind if I take a picture to record your life? After all, Sister Xiaohan, you are a celebrity now." Annie said as she picked up her phone for the final confirmation.

"Okay, okay, whatever." I shrugged indifferently, which was considered as an agreement.

Looking at the composition in the phone, Annie took the photo casually, but her smile really shows a happy mood.

"That's great~ Hehe~ Sister Xiaohan~ I'll use your name this time~ If they are friends with you, Xiaohan, they shouldn't dare to target me so blatantly, right?"

"Um…"

I don't know why, but after hearing Annie say this, I felt a little sorry for her. This should be the worst start, right? Being targeted by the whole class, her future life will probably not be smooth.

But in return she got the authority and treatment of a class monitor, as well as more resources. It's hard to say whether she was lucky or unlucky.

Chapter 166: Complicated Relationships with Classmates

"So this is what you call a celebratory meal?" I looked at the dishes on the table. Not only were they a bit light, but they were simply... Anyway, I couldn't really put it into words.

"Well... funds are limited, funds are limited!" Annie said a little embarrassedly.

"What funding do you need? Don't we contestants have reimbursement quotas? You don't even need this?" I felt like I was losing my appetite just looking at these dishes.

"Ah? What reimbursement amount?"

"You don't know, do you? Contestants can reimburse their expenses during the freshman competition based on their status! Isn't that what Teacher Lina said before?" I explained helplessly, holding my forehead.

"Oh? Is this true?" Annie's eyes widened in disbelief, but she still confirmed with me again, "Can it really be reimbursed?"

"How could I possibly lie to you about this? Hurry up and serve some better dishes."

I picked up the chopsticks beside me and poked the vegetables in front of me. I was really curious whether Annie didn't know that inviting people to dinner like this would really hurt feelings?

After all, she had just begged for a long time, which made me worry about the girl's current financial situation.

If her financial situation is not so good, then why would she treat me to a meal?

Just to establish a relationship with me, and then... make the students in her class live a little better?

"Annie, let me ask, is your financial situation not very optimistic?"

"Eh? Um... you figured it out... Sorry, that seems a bit too much. You obviously don't have much money but you still want to treat me to a meal or something..."

"Won't your family give you money?"

"I have no family."

"Um...then...what about familiar friends?" I was choked by Annie's words, and then asked other questions awkwardly.

"I don't have any friends either. Before I entered Witch Academy, friends were too much of a luxury for me..."

"I'm sorry for saying something so depressing in this situation. Since this meal is reimbursed, let's have a good meal! Waiter! More food!"

Following Annie's request for more food, Annie seemed to have briefly put aside her worries at this moment. After all, getting something for free can really make people happy.

As the sumptuous dishes were served, Anne began to show a joy and satisfaction that she had never shown before, as if she had finally gotten the treatment that came with being a monitor.

During the conversation, I also got to know some basic information about her. After all, it is normal to chat while eating.

Rather than chatting, it would be more like I was the one-sided person she was talking to, a friend she could confide in. Although the school had just started, it was obvious that Annie had suffered a lot of setbacks.

I entered the Witch Academy with great joy, thinking that since it was full of girls, the atmosphere would be harmonious. But now, it has become more like a place full of intrigue, calculations and threats.

"Sister Xiaohan, what do you think I should do? I don't want to either, but now it seems like there is no turning back. I didn't want to be a class monitor, but because of my momentary greed, I embarked on a path of no return. I can't imagine losing my identity as a class monitor and the tilt of resources. What kind of existence will I have in the class in the future? I just want a normal college life..."

"It's okay, everything will be fine." I can only keep comforting you with meaningless words. After all, one wrong step will lead to many wrong steps, and it's impossible to sort out the cause and effect.

"I feel like I'm walking on a single-plank bridge every day. My counselor teaches several classes, and she can't manage it at all. But she always emphasizes collective consciousness, which I can't do at all..."

"it's okay no problem…"

I also sighed. Annie was talking as if she was drunk, but what we were drinking was obviously just non-alcoholic drinks.

"It will be fine. If you feel something is wrong, then question it boldly. The so-called collective consciousness does not necessarily have to be obeyed. When the power of one person is enough to override the collective, the collective will become the shackles of the strong. The problem still depends on how you deal with it. When you are strong enough, so strong that the whole collective has only your voice, isn't this collective consciousness?"

"This...what kind of perverted logic is this!"

"Wrong logic? So what? Why are you so sad now? Isn't it because of other people's wrong logic? You are the monitor who was born in accordance with the will of the class. You are the final result of many lotteries. You are legitimate. Why don't you just go on stage and announce: I was appointed by heaven, and I will live forever?"

"What do you mean by 'Ji Shou Yong Chang'? What era is this joke from?" Annie was amused by what I said.

"That's the truth. Good people are often bullied. Since they choose to isolate you, how can you justify their isolation if you don't isolate them all by yourself?"

"Evil ways and prejudices are the easiest to make people get stuck in a dead end. When they are still focusing on the position of class monitor, you should look at the longer-term future. Don't forget that this is an extraordinary world. Although strength is not omnipotent, it can solve most problems."

"Yes, you are right! I need to become stronger! Sister Xiaohan, please teach me the secret of becoming stronger! Sister Xiaohan, you are so powerful, you must have your own methods!" Annie put down her chopsticks and held my hand.

"Hey? Annie, stop it! Women shouldn't be intimate with each other!" I quickly pulled my hand away and said.

"Sorry, I was a little too excited. Anyway, thank you, Sister Xiaohan, for having dinner with me, and... for telling me that there is a reimbursement function!"

"I'm very happy today. I'm going to prepare for the game this afternoon."

"Well, take your time to prepare. I heard that the top-ranked students will receive generous rewards this time, so work hard~"

"Will do!"

I nodded gently. How could someone who was full of hope give up so easily? But I had no choice but to pray that she would not run into me and Tan Han in the afternoon.

After putting down my chopsticks, I was ready to leave. However, just as I was about to say my final goodbye to Annie at the door, Annie was stopped by someone at the door.

Probably met an acquaintance.

"Hey? How come our monitor still has the time to eat here? I remember that the contestants were provided with boxed lunches, right?"

"Where I eat is none of your business, right?" Annie looked at the guy in front of her, her tone filled with anger.

Just as the two men were on the verge of a fight, I came over one step later.

"Annie, what's wrong? Who is this guy?" I saw that Annie and this tall girl didn't get along well, so I naturally came to Annie's side to support her.

There are only a few magic sources in the opponent's body and one spell book. He is most likely a freshman, but he does not seem to be the class monitor. Since he is not the class monitor, he can get the magic source and spell book, which means he is a very capable person.

"Xiao Han... I'm sorry, this is a matter in our class and I got you involved." Annie said apologetically.

"It's okay, but since you said this happened in your class, then she is your classmate?" I looked at the girl in front of me with a hint of arrogance in my eyes. After looking at her, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed as if she reacted.

"You! You're the Explosion Witch!"

"Don't call me Explosion Witch. I have a name."

I am actually quite embarrassed when the other party calls me this name. After all, there seem to be quite a few witches called the Explosion Witch, and calling me this does make me less unique, and I'm not someone who specializes in blasting spells.

But I couldn't remember this person, so I was more concerned about the figure behind her, who looked familiar.

I deliberately turned my head to the side, trying to see it more clearly.

"That... is... Yang Yuehan? Well... this is a misunderstanding..." At this moment, the other party's attitude seemed to have changed a lot. It seemed that he was a guy who could bend and stretch, and knew who he could offend and who he could not.

If all the people in Annie's class are like this, I don't mind Annie using my name to recruit some people to stand up for her.

Who wouldn't form a clique? But Annie's current clique only consists of one person.

"Um, my name is Feng Chengyin. Miss Yang Yuehan, are you looking at my sister? This is my sister Feng Yuzhen. She is too introverted. Sorry, she is a little shy." When Feng Chengyin saw that I was glancing behind her, she immediately turned around and pushed the person who was hiding behind her out.

"Feng Yuzhen..." I raised my eyebrows slightly. At this moment, she lowered her head and didn't even dare to look me in the eye. She was indeed an introverted girl, but her sister was like her other extreme.

Of course I knew Feng Yuzhen. She was even a student in my Class 14. When I arrived at the class, I thought I was the first one to arrive, but it turned out that she was the one who arrived first and was standing alone in the back, quiet and not daring to speak.

"Feng Yuzhen, I didn't expect to meet you here." I spoke softly with a smile.

"Yuzhen, speak up...Um, Miss Yang Yuehan, do you know my sister?"

Feng Chengyin was a little surprised at this time, and even Annie beside him was stunned, not knowing what was going on.

"Feng Yuzhen is also a student in Class 14, and she's my classmate." I gave a brief introduction. Logically speaking, shouldn't this sister know that her younger sister is from Class 14?

I am also in Class 14, so you can relate to it if you think about it, right?

However, Feng Yuzhen seemed to become more restrained after I told her about my relationship with me.

"What? Yuzhen, you didn't even tell me about this!"

"Isn't the problem with you? This is probably your fault as a sister?" I interrupted Feng Chengyin's questioning of Feng Yuzhen. It turned out that extroverts naturally suppress introverts.

"Feng Yuzhen, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can contact me. As the class monitor, I will help you." Finally, I sighed and said something to Feng Yuzhen. The main purpose was to let Feng Yuzhen have some means to make her sister more afraid.

Having a sister like this must be a hassle for her, right?

Although I am also very clear that for introverts, they probably won't deliberately contact others to solve their own difficulties. They will just bear it silently.

But I said this to Feng Chengyin. As for whether she understood it or not... I won't give her too much good face anyway.

But now the relationship between the four of us has become complicated, and Feng Chengyin might become the final clown.

The class monitor she targeted was my friend, her introverted sister was my classmate, and I was the one she couldn't afford to offend at this stage, so... from her perspective, it was indeed hopeless.

"Well, see you later if we're lucky." After saying goodbye to Feng Yuzhen, I came over and said, "Annie, let's go first, we still have a game this afternoon."

"Ah? Yeah." Annie reacted quickly, gave Feng Chengyin a victorious smile, and then followed me away.

At the moment, Feng Chengyin was embarrassed and holding back her anger, but she didn't dare to vent it here. She originally just wanted to take her sister to walk around the college more, experience the lively atmosphere and change her introverted personality.

I didn't expect to encounter something like this.

"Damn it, that Annie is actually her friend? If I were the class monitor, I could also get to know her..." She finally spoke unwillingly, but she soon realized that she was still with her sister, "Yuzhen, why didn't you tell me that you and Yang Yuehan are classmates, such an important thing?"

"I said I was from Class 14..." Feng Yuzhen was silent for a while before speaking in a low voice.

"That's right... I didn't seize the opportunity... Tsk, never mind, let's eat first. We'll go to the arena this afternoon and take you to experience being in a crowded place. Yuzhen, you really need to change your introverted personality."

"Can I... not go?" Feng Yuzhen argued in a low voice.

"But I've already spent money to buy the admission ticket. Even though it's second-hand, just think of it as cheering for your monitor. You should also work hard to build a good relationship with your monitor."

"I... will try my best..." Feng Yuzhen sat in her seat with her head down, but only she understood how impossible this was.

At this moment, after accompanying Annie out of the restaurant, I accompanied her all the way to the viewing area in the arena.

A little while had passed since noon.
