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

The morning competition has also ended. The competition divided the team into two groups of 200 people, and the top 100 freshmen also emerged.

The 100 people in the loser group will also continue to fight in the afternoon, divided into two intervals, and then they can take their rewards back. Because the ranking rewards for these two intervals are different, but the rewards in the same interval are the same, no more detailed distinctions will be made.

The focus is still on the top 100 rankings. The higher the ranking, the more detailed and clear the rewards.

Of course, in order to prevent the accident that happened in the first match of the freshman competition from happening again, the college has turned the originally random combinations into a secret operation.

Of course, things like behind-the-scenes manipulation cannot be publicized like this, but as the game progresses, anyone with a discerning eye can still spot some clues.

That is, the students with higher strength will never meet each other, so the morning battles often result in a situation where the strength is crushed.

Students with weak abilities will naturally be eliminated quickly.

The afternoon competition kicked off quickly. First, the specific battle arrangements were announced, followed by batches of battles.

The afternoon's competition was even easier for me. I was probably at the same level as Chen Yu in the morning. After a few symbolic moves and casting a few spells, the opponent admitted defeat before I even had time to gain anything from the battle.

The opponent's goal was clear. They surrendered at the speed of light after casting a few spells. This couldn't even be considered a qualified competition.

So, this guy seemed to be the first one who jumped off the field after fighting with me. Even in the big melee, none of the players who played against me were so relaxed. They didn't get injured thanks to the referee's quick eyes and hands.

"Sister Xiaohan~Hey? Sister Xiaohan, are you going back early?" At this time, Annie was jumping towards me happily, and it could be seen that she was in a very good mood at the moment.

"Well, congratulations on your victory in the afternoon game. I thought you were celebrating too early at noon, right?"

"Hehe~ I didn't expect that I would win like this. It's a little unreal. Um, Sister Xiaohan, are you not staying to watch?"

"Yes, I have something else to do, so I won't stay here any longer." I nodded. Instead of wasting time here memorizing the basic knowledge of these runes, I might as well go back to the laboratory to find Teacher Ji Niang.

By the way, ask Teacher Ji Niang to help me absorb all the magic sources into my body, otherwise I would be too envious of seeing so much magic source.

And the more mana sources there are, the faster the witching process will be, right? I think my body really needs witching. Although I haven't had so many mana sources for long, I can feel that the changes in these few days are greater than the time from entering school to the start of school!

When it gets big enough, you will need to change to a larger size after a while.

It’s hard to imagine how much of a change more than 700 magic sources will bring about by then?

Of course, the witch transformation is just a byproduct. Mainly, I still want to understand the earth vein crystal. It’s a temporary name I gave it. I really don’t know how to use that thing, so I’d better use it under the supervision of Teacher Ji Niang.

"Okay...bye then~see you tomorrow!"

"Well, let's talk tomorrow."

Chapter 167 Memory Blind Box

"Xiao Han? Is the afternoon game over? Why are you here in the lab?"

The 8401 laboratory is not far from Ji Niang's office, just separated by a few offices. Ji Niang naturally noticed my arrival very quickly, especially since I was heading for Ji Niang's office in the first place.

"Well, my afternoon competition is over. I came here mainly because I wanted to ask the teacher for help with something related to the source of magic power."

"Oh, I remember now. I forgot that your current mental strength is not enough to interfere with the source of magic power."

After hearing what I said, Ji Niang also reacted. She had given the resources and just walked away, forgetting a lot of things, not only about the magic source, but also about the geomantic memories. If they were not used in the proper way, it would be a pure waste.

"Teacher, can you forget even something like this?"

"Haha, I thought you would go to your sister Bai for help, but you came to me." Ji Niang made up an excuse and came to my side. "But the feedback from taking in 500 mana sources at once is a bit scary. It's even more obvious than the last time when you took in 100 or 200."

"Does it mean the witchification of the source of magic power? What exactly is witchification?" I asked, and by the way, I asked about this concept that I was still unclear about. After all, my concept of witchification is still at the level of turning boys into girls, and continuing to make the body develop again, and changing my race from "human" to "witch".

"That's about right. Witchification, of course, refers to the process of completely turning you into a witch. Didn't I give you access to the library? You can check it out yourself. It's more thorough than my oral explanation."

"Okay..." Since Teacher Ji Niang doesn't want to say anything, then let's do this for now. Then I took out all the magic sources packaged in the storage equipment. Five hundred of these magic sources piled up here are quite spectacular.

Then, Teacher Ji Niang just waved her hand, and the seals were opened. The source of magic power was gathered together and easily stuffed into my body.

The influx of a huge amount of magic power brought me a wonderful feeling, the feeling of being filled. A trace of magic power was dissipating, promoting my transformation into a witch in a way that I could not understand. My body also quietly changed a little at this moment, but this was not something that could be achieved overnight.

"Teacher Ji Niang, how strong should my mental power be to be able to use the source of magic power by myself? How much mental power do I need?"

The energy of magic source must be linked to one's own mental power. There is a unit of measurement in meditation, that is, thread. One thread of mental power is roughly equivalent to one unit of mental power.

"It has nothing to do with the number of threads. The unit of thread is a unit of measure for the witch's meditation method to measure mental power. It is also a means to use mental power more efficiently. However, magic power is a supernatural energy. It is not a question of how much mental power can interfere. It is a question of the quality of mental power. It is like comparing mental power to silk thread. Cotton thread and iron thread are fundamentally different."

Teacher Ji Niang first corrected my problem and then explained it to me.

"If you want to use your mental power to interfere with magic, it doesn't matter how much mental power you have, but the improvement brought by witchification. Magic is an extraordinary power that only witches can control. Only when you are closer to the essence of a witch, you can interfere with magic, so in the end it still depends on witchification."

"So we're coming back again?"

"That's right. Just take your time. The more magic sources you have, the higher your witch transformation efficiency will be. But you have to understand one thing. The witch transformation efficiency of a person with two magic sources is not twice as efficient as that of a person with one magic source."

"Will it decay?" I quickly realized the problem.

"That's right. The greater the number, the greater the attenuation, until it finally hovers in a certain range. If there is no attenuation, the academy will directly use millions of magic sources to create extraordinary witches like an assembly line. Do you understand? In the early stage, you can indeed strive for magic sources, but after reaching a certain number, the excess magic sources are just numbers." Ji Niang returned to her seat and continued to explain to me the precautions involved.

"But even so, the more mana sources there are, the better." Although the mana source is the upper limit of mana and becomes increasingly insignificant as time goes by, it is still good for a protracted battle, right?

"The more the better? That's not necessarily the case. Do you really think that the source of magic power in your body belongs to you?" After hearing what I said, Ji Niang smiled and continued to explain to me.

"not mine?"

"Of course, witches control magic power. The source of magic power is a power exclusive to witches. You are just on the road to becoming a witch. At most, you are a witch in preparation. It is better to say that you carry the source of magic power than to say that you own the source of magic power. You have never truly owned the source of magic power. Even now, the way you use the source of magic power is to absorb magic power through the spell book. Without the spell book, you can do nothing."

"Then as long as the quality of my mental power is improved, that is, as long as I become a witch to a sufficient degree, I will be qualified to truly possess the source of magic power?" I asked tentatively.

At this stage, the existence of magic sources and spell books makes me feel as if there is a pathetic barrier between me and the extraordinary. I am just a user of extraordinary power, not the controller.

"You have to wait until you become a super witch to truly master the source of magic. When you can interfere with magic, it just means that you are qualified to use the magic in the source independently. Don't think too much. This is the Witch Academy. Follow the path planned by the academy for you. Worrying about things you can't do here is just asking for trouble."

At this moment, Ji Niang waved her hand and advised me not to think too much, although she was the one who told me all this first.

I had no choice but to suppress my curiosity temporarily. Just like Teacher Ji Niang said, I now have special privileges to the library. If Teacher Ji Niang doesn't tell me, I can just find it myself.

“By the way, among the resources I gave you, there was something like crystal. You should have not misused it, right?” Ji Niang asked at the right time.

"That? Not yet. I didn't know what it was, so I didn't dare to use it carelessly. Is it related to the earth veins?" I asked curiously. I had been thinking about asking it, but I didn't expect the teacher to ask me in advance.

"It is indeed related to the earth veins. I remember you have read the information about earth vein congestion before, right? Yes, that is one of the rewards in the freshman competition, earth vein memory. It has many names, such as earth memories, memory crystals, etc. These are effective memories after being refined, and they are the kind of memories that will not interfere with personal cognition."

"In other words, after using it, you can learn the corresponding knowledge in your memory?" My eyes lit up and I asked.

I need this kind of fool-proof learning method the most, please give me more of it!

"It's not that amazing. Having that part of the memory doesn't mean you can do it. You also need to learn and completely transform it into your own ability. It just saves you the process of learning and understanding, but you need to digest it yourself and make it your own."

"That's amazing. Since this thing is a product of the earth veins, there should be a lot of it, right? Is there any other way to get it?"

"What? Are you fascinated by the benefits of this thing? Yes, the earth veins can indeed produce a lot of memories of the earth, but many of the memories are useless memories, or even fragmented and messy. They can only be used normally after being streamlined and refined to the useful ones. Moreover, the relevant memory content is also uncontrollable. It all depends on luck. You should understand, right?"

"I see..." I took out a geomancy memory, "Then teacher, what exactly are these memories related to that you fought for me?"

"I don't know. We need to ask the witch who refines memories. However, memory is not easy to define, so this is like opening a blind box." Ji Niang shook her head to indicate that she didn't know either, but it can be used as a reward, which means that the memories inside are at least not useless.

The freshman competition to fight for this geomantic memory is also a disguised way to help students understand the relevant memory. Perhaps this will allow students to have an understanding in this aspect, which will give them an advantage in embarking on this path.

Even if it is not helpful, it can be regarded as a new understanding and it is good to broaden your horizons.

"Open a blind box?" When I heard this word, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. Doesn't this all depend on luck?

My luck...it’s hard to describe in words. It seems I need to take a shower and change clothes before using it?

"Yes, do you want to try it now? I can teach you how to use it, and you can use it by yourself when you go back." Ji Niang took the geomantic memory from my hand and asked me.

"of course."

"Well, let me explain. This memory is carried by the energy of the earth veins, so you need to use your mental power to guide this memory. You need to ensure that the memory does not enter your mind incompletely. Like this, you can see it more carefully with your spiritual vision."

"Okay." I nodded. Even if Teacher Ji Niang hadn't reminded me, I would have used my psychic vision subconsciously. Now I have developed the habit of using psychic vision to observe various things at any time. I am constantly integrating the perspective of psychic vision into every aspect of my life.

In the past, I avoided it like the plague in order to live a normal life, but now, it is my greatest support in my journey to excellence.

At this moment, I can see that this crystal has branches extending from the earth's energy. Under the guidance of Teacher Ji Niang's mental power, the memory is flowing into my mind along the earth's energy.

At this moment, I am reviewing unfamiliar memories as if I were watching a kaleidoscope.

I could feel the figures of my senior sisters. I couldn’t see their appearance, but it seemed as if there were countless shadows superimposed on each other.

They were performing unknown exercises over and over again, and similarly, a "voice" like a narration echoed in my head.

It's like telling me what this is.

This is a physical training technique that can stretch the whole body, stretch the muscles and bones, enhance physical fitness and body flexibility. It is an auxiliary training technique for close combat in conjunction with transformation spells.

"How does it feel?"

"Well... I feel a little dizzy... But it is indeed a memory... I remember it very clearly..." I responded, holding my head.

"It's normal to feel dizzy. After all, it's an imposed strange memory. How about it? What does this memory bring to you?" At this time, Ji Niang asked curiously.

"It seems to be a set of physical training techniques." I said truthfully.

"Physical fitness... Oh, I remember now. The academy does have this course. I didn't expect it to be this memory. It's barely passable." Ji Niang nodded after hearing my description and commented, "Then you don't need to ask for help with the rest, right?"

"No, thank you, teacher." I still held my forehead and said, it takes time to digest and adapt to this memory. It is obvious that I am not over this moment yet.

"It has a strong aftereffect, right? So you can't use this thing too often. If you use it too much, be careful that the memories will get mixed up. Just be careful. It's best not to use more than three a day, about three or four. Don't exceed that much."

"I understand." I nodded. I have a total of more than a dozen of these things in my storage equipment. This means that even if I use up the limit every day, it will take several days, and it will probably last until the end of the freshman competition.

This is also one of the rewards after the freshman competition. It looks like I won’t be able to escape the life of opening blind boxes in the next few days.

I just hope I don't get any memories that are too outrageous.

Chapter 168: Joint Exchange among Multiple Colleges at Witch Academy

After coming out of Teacher Ji Niang’s office, I didn’t rush back, but turned directly into Laboratory 8401.

I plan to continue using a few more earth vein memories here to see what I will gain. If I encounter danger, at least Teacher Ji Niang will be able to save me in time.

However, the impact that the first memory had on me doesn’t seem to have faded yet. In this state, I am obviously not suitable to continue opening memory blind boxes.

So I started to practice this physical strengthening technique according to my memory. After all, the effect of this physical strengthening technique seems to be very good, but it does not seem to be effective immediately and requires long-term persistence.

And I really need such skills to exercise my body. After all, I often spend the whole day in the laboratory studying spell books, and now I have started to learn runes. It is conceivable that my daily exercise volume is definitely not up to standard.

What if I gain weight?

Besides, the food has been too good these days, so I really need to be restrained.

Maintaining a perfect figure, increasing body flexibility, improving physical fitness and balance, these should be benefits that every girl cannot refuse, right?

I am no exception now. I have developed myself to the point where I am perfect and impeccable, and I will feel a great sense of accomplishment. I just don't know which guy I will benefit from in the future.

As expected, it’s a good deal for me!

Alas, just thinking about it makes me start to become narcissistic.

Then, I took out two memory blind boxes. Today I planned to use three and see my luck.

Use the rest when you go back to bathe and change clothes, and use it when your mind is pure.

Do you want some for those guys in my dorm?

After all, this kind of memory is not a rigid requirement for me, it is dispensable.

"Let's take a look at this first." I picked one of the two at random and put it in my hand. Then I followed Teacher Ji Niang's method to guide the memories into my mind.

Suddenly, the feeling from before appeared again.

The image in my mind appeared, of two figures fighting each other in close combat, but this kind of fight seemed different from what I knew.

Both sides were seniors holding wands, and I soon understood what this was. This was wand fighting, a skill based on holding a wand to deal with various close combats, and it also included some quick casting techniques, combining melee combat with spells.

Seems... somewhat useful?

But it's not very useful, it just allows me to be more calm when dealing with others in close combat, and I don't know how to use a fragile weapon like a wand in a fight. The wands needed for this kind of fighting technique are all customized and reinforced. I have no intention of changing my wand for now.

Then I closed my eyes, emptied my mind, and entered a state of meditation. Although meditation also consumes mental energy, after entering the world of meditation, I can quickly use this feeling of discomfort. Moreover, when meditating, I found that the world of meditation can also be practiced.

Because... this is a dream...

But it seems that it cannot be compared with the so-called dream device. That is the dream of the original witch. It is really terrifying. I can only rely on my mental power to construct some scenes that I am familiar with.

After I made sure I had recovered, I couldn’t wait to open the blind box for the third time.

But obviously, the memory of the third time is a bit useless. I can't even summarize what it taught me. It's probably the various regulations of the service industry. I feel that this geomantic memory was obtained from somewhere close to the commercial area.

After simply relaxing, I no longer cared about this memory. When I stopped actively thinking about this memory, I found that the pressure the memory brought me was reduced a lot, and it even accelerated my forgetting. It can be said that... there are gains and losses.
