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

"Oh, I know it again. I know the common sense of being a girl, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Oh! That's not what I meant!" Yao Beijuan was obviously a little upset by my evasive answer.

"I know what you mean, but I won't tell you."

"You, you, you! You make me so angry. I was thinking that if you explained it to me, I wouldn't mind teaching you some hand skills that girls like."

"No, no, you should just pass on this traditional skill yourself. I won't get involved. I want to be a pure person, no, a witch."

"Just you? I don't believe it!"

But just as she was saying this, crisp and somewhat hurried footsteps were heard in the empty corridor.

I had the clairvoyance to see that the person coming was Sister Bai and I smiled slightly. The reinforcements have finally arrived!

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic anymore. It seems someone is coming." I said, then walked forward a few steps and finally saw Sister Bai's figure around the corner.

"Hey? It's Sister Bai. Sister Bai, why are you here?" I said the first time I saw Sister Bai.

"Hmm? Xiaohan...you...Oh, I came here for something, what are you doing..."

After seeing me, Bai Yu subconsciously thought, "Didn't you send the location to call me here?"

But after seeing another figure, he quickly changed his words.

"Oh, just chatting casually. This is Yao Beijuan, a new student from Afhemy College who is here for exchange." I emphasized my tone when I said this name. After all, Sister Bai and I had mentioned this name before, but they had never met each other.

"Oh, Yao Beijuan... Nice to meet you. My name is Bai Yu, and I'm Xiaohan's sister. I didn't expect to see you here in this way." Bai Yu said to Yao Beijuan with a smile.

Yao Beijuan naturally knew that Xiaohan’s girlfriend, oh no, her ex-girlfriend, was very important.

She didn't expect to meet each other here. So, it seems that she found Xiaohan here?

Afhemia Academy had only been at Witch Academy for a short time, how did she find it?

"Um... Hello, Senior Bai." After seeing Bai Yu, Yao Beijuan's expression became a little out of control, and the originally relaxed atmosphere was completely broken because of her appearance.

Especially when facing the opponent's capital, her eyes kept scanning the opponent's chest. She knew she had lost, but she quickly reacted. She had never heard Xiaohan say that she had a sister. At most, she had a younger brother.

"Um, you said you are Xiaohan's...sister?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"Nothing, that..."

"Is there anything else? When I came here before, I saw an elf. I guess she should be your teacher? She seems to be waiting for you." Bai Yu said with a smile.

"Really? Then I'll go first. I can't keep my teacher waiting for long." Yao Beijuan glanced at Bai Yu again before leaving.

It seems that Sister Bai's aura is quite strong. Yao Beijuan doesn't like that teacher. She complained to me before. I'll just tell this excuse to Sister Bai.

After watching Yao Beijuan leave, Bai Yu looked at me.

"What? Can't handle your ex-girlfriend?"

"Well...indeed."

"Didn't you break up?" Bai Yu asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yes, I know, and she knows it too, but she just feels strange meeting me here. Fortunately, Sister Bai, you came in time. I'm really not good at getting along with people who are so good at chatting."

"It's okay, Sister Bai will help you. If you encounter any problems in the future, just contact me like this." Bai Yu smiled and put her arm around me, and with the other hand she touched my head as if to comfort me.

"I know~ But Sister Bai, please don't touch my head like a child!"

Chapter 174 Give Me a Chance to Be Friends

After a brief chat with Sister Bai, I returned to the players' rest area again. After all, there would be no outsiders to disturb me there.

Yao Beijuan's appearance really caught me off guard, especially with her personality, she would actually represent Afhemy College to exchange ideas at the Witch College.

And the way she discovered me was also strange, just because of a name?

When a normal person meets someone with the same name but a different gender, shouldn’t the first thing they think about is whether that person is someone they know?

Why did you come here to ask? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if it wasn’t your answer?

And this disturbed the contestants.

Moreover, they didn’t give me a very good impression. Those two elves directly shattered my beautiful perception of elves that existed in fantasy in my two lifetimes.

What happened to the elves symbolizing nobility and purity?

It can't be just a mask on the outside, but if you think about it, it seems to be true. If elves really exist like that, how could she have gotten to the top three academies in the world?

And I can also feel through my psychic vision that their powers are completely different from those of witches.

Their power seems to be born from within their bodies. Their bodies have completely separated from the structure of humans and have directly become the carriers of that power.

It seems that the physical structure of the elves themselves conforms to a certain ritual and carries that power.

That kind of extraordinary power is very magical. It seems that not only mental power can interfere, but also the elf's own physical state, emotions, and behavior will interfere with the flow of that energy.

Unlike our source of magic power, it is always stable, so stable that even mental power cannot interfere.

It's becoming more and more interesting. I kind of want to take their bodies apart to see what kind of power they have... Ahem, the aftereffects of studying the spell book come back to me. I want to see the internal structure of everything I see.

After all, they are also human beings... No, they are not human beings, right? They are just similar, including me.

Just as I was about to look directly at the rune book, a figure blocked my way.

I closed the book in annoyance. Why did so many people disturb me when I just decided to study?

When I looked up, a familiar face appeared in front of us.

"Tan Han?"

Didn't I remember that she and I had no more contact after that conversation?

What are you doing this time?

I watched him sit next to me, not caring whether there was anyone here, just like the previous times, but this time there was really no one there.

I remember the topic I talked to her about last time was quite heartless, so why is she coming to me again?

Although I no longer have any external factors that make me object to Tan Han coming over, there must be something going on when Tan Han comes over.

Was it about the previous meeting between me and the Elf Academy student, or was it about the exchange competition?

"Well, judging from your tone, you don't seem to be so repulsive to me anymore." Tan Han spoke first.

"Can you hear that?" I shook my head, not knowing what Tan Han was up to.

"Of course I didn't hear it. Do you remember what I said at that time, that I control the power of destiny?" When Tan Han said this, she seemed to be lost in recollection.

"I know, but those who want to control their fate will eventually be manipulated by fate. Fate is definitely not something that can be controlled." I shook my head and continued to express my point of view.

Fate, even for those who resist it, perhaps fate has already arranged a script for their success. Some unknowable things cannot be understood no matter how hard you try.

But does this mean giving up?

Of course not. Fate is just a hindsight, jumping out to laugh at everyone after everything is over.

Even if I treat it as a clown, doesn't it still depend on how things develop?

Although it may sound a bit presumptuous to say this, I still have to find a way to convince myself, right?

If I can't convince myself, I will be confused, but as long as I am determined on one thing, I won't be confused.

After all, a happy day is a day, and a painful day is also a day. People’s joys and sorrows are different, so the world is so colorful.

If the world were simpler, life would be less painful.

Take the case of Yao Beijuan for example. Her appearance made me panic for a while. I was afraid that she would pester me, laugh at me for being a pervert, or expose the fact that I was a boy before...

In short, many things are constantly consuming a lot of my energy and emotions.

But objectively speaking, it was just my ex-girlfriend who came to me. What could she do?

The worst thing that could happen is that it would be revealed that I was a boy in the past...

"Are you still so resistant to fate? Then what if I said that this time I came to you according to the guidance of fate? I think your resistance to me seems to have disappeared now."

"The guidance of fate..." I looked at Tan Han in disbelief. How could she be so willing to be driven by fate and enjoy it?

It turns out that what the teacher said is right, everyone has his or her own way of living.

Maybe I have a preconceived idea. So what if she is the protagonist of the script? She doesn't seem to be the type of person who can decide her own fate.

But she was right. My only resistance to her now was the vague possibility that her constitution might bring me trouble.

"I still remember the excuse you made at that time was... we are not from the same world." Tan Han turned her head and looked towards the competition field. At this time, the competition was coming to an end, so the afternoon game would have to wait until the afternoon.

"But I don't think so. We are all ordinary people who have just stepped into the extraordinary world. We are in the same world. You are even ahead of me." When Tan Han said this, it was obvious that she had reflected on herself.

"Well, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that." I agreed with her statement, but was it really just an excuse?

I really thought so at that time, because in all aspects, there was indeed a huge gap between her and me.

But what about now?

Her status as a young lady in the outside world? It seemed worthless in front of the extraordinary world.

Her status as a wealthy woman? I have a lot of money now, given by the academy, so much Orkin, I don’t know how to spend it.

Her role as the protagonist in the script? In my opinion, she is just a puppet of fate. Teachers Lina and Ji Niang also explained this to me very clearly.

"So do you think there's a chance we could be friends?"

"Hmm... this question is a bit tricky. I don't even have a clear definition of what a friend is. If you ask it so bluntly, then I definitely can't do it."

I spoke in a slightly relaxed tone, which was also a rejection of her formal friendship. If this is how you make friends, I personally think it is unnecessary.

"So that's how it is. Then let me explain. There are many definitions of friends and many categories. There are bosom friends who know everything about you, friends who are just like sisters in appearance, acquaintances who are just casual acquaintances, and even friends for academic exchanges."

Tan Han said so much at once, but I still felt that her real intention was not to drink.

"I've learned something new." I said softly. I naturally understood this. Even friends can be divided into many categories, and most friendships in society are just superficial friends.

"Then... let's make another bet. Give me a chance to be your friend. We don't need to go through the trouble of maintaining a friendship. We can just be friends for academic exchange."

"Haha... you're plotting against my head."

I almost laughed out loud when I heard what Tan Han said, and then I recalled the last question of our last conversation. She asked me if the spell book I was using at that time was the Fireball spell.

I guess it has something to do with this, it’s really interesting.

"So, what's your decision?"

"If it were before, I would naturally not gamble again, because I am not a gambler, but you have been talking to me here for so long for this purpose, I should at least give you a chance, right?" I shook my head and said.

Tan Han herself seemed to be aware of her own problem. She and I were admitted to the Extraordinary Academy, and everyone has a different understanding of the extraordinary.

This is how Tan Han originally pursued power. She continued to learn extraordinary common sense, and realized the source of magic power and spell books, thus constructing this distorted self-cognition for herself.

But I know very well that being extraordinary is definitely not like that. What’s the difference between this and using skills in playing games?

The real extraordinary thing should be to constantly explore the unknown and see how the extraordinary constructs this fantasy world.

If Tan Han wants to discuss the nature of the supernatural with me, I naturally don't mind. Putting aside the trouble that Tan Han may bring me, as the protagonist, won't she bring any benefits?

Rewards and risks coexist.

Didn’t Sister Bai know this at the beginning? She was just afraid that I would be involved in risks, because Sister Bai felt that my safety was more important than the so-called returns.

"So, what do you want to bet on?" I asked casually, to see what she was going to play this time. Since she dared to bet, then she must be confident of winning. But if it was a bet where the outcome could be determined at a glance, I was not a fool.

That also means that she doesn't value me as a friend. Since we are making friends in this way, how can I not be a little pretentious?

"The afternoon match is 25 to 13, and there is a bye. How about betting on who gets the bye?"

"What if no one guesses correctly?" I asked with a hint of surprise when I heard about this bet.

“That’s a draw.”

"What if I win?"

"Then... I will give you the spell book that consumes 1,000 points of mana."

"Are you playing such a big game?" I said in a surprised tone.

"Is it very big? It's just worth a fireball. I think this is fair." Tan Han said seriously.

"hehe…"
