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

"Oh, it's okay, it looks like it's just a thread, I'll help you get rid of it."

"Thread ends? Impossible! My clothes were custom made not long ago, there is no way there would be a thread end!"

As I pulled the thread of luck on her right arm, her hand, which was busy opening the safe, paused and stopped moving.

Chapter 184 Manager Xia Li escapes from control

"Then you, store manager, have to ask the store that made it for you."

I looked at the thread of destiny in my hand. I had never felt such a concrete fear as I did at this moment, except for the spiritual vision.

It can manipulate a person's behavior and thoughts in this way. Is it serving the script?

So, will this strand of luck on my body become the thread that binds me at some critical moment? It is really hard to imagine such a scene, even if these thin threads are lying quietly and harmlessly in my hands at this moment.

If I actively tie it to someone, will it be the same as before?

No, Teacher Lina said before that this thread of luck that belongs to me should not be easily taken away by other people. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to ask about this thread of luck again.

"Xiao Han, you don't have any thread in your hand, are you lying to me?"

"Oh? Is that so? Maybe I saw it wrong." I scratched my head and said embarrassedly. Although my behavior just now was indeed very strange, Xia Li didn't actually see what I did. In short, it just ended like that.

"Um, manager, aren't you going to show me the proposal you just made?"

"I'm showing this to you because my brain is broken. Who told you that there is [Supernatural Knowledge] in my little treasury? Was it Ying Shiqian or Tang Yihan?"

"Ugh?"

I looked at Manager Xia Li, who was protecting her like a calf, and felt that she was the same as the two people just now. Was it because their minds became clear after their luck thread was pulled out?

But after thinking it through, she realized that [supernatural knowledge] was so important? She didn't want Tan Han anymore?

"But didn't the manager just tell me to take a look?"

I continued with what I had just said without saying who told me that. After all, I had forgotten who told me that. Anyway, it was right to change the subject at this time.

Moreover, this feeling of cognitive dissonance has put both me and store manager Xia Li in a very awkward situation.

I was inexplicably dragged here by Charlie, and Charlie was fooled by me into almost giving me her life. Now without external interference, Charlie felt as if she was possessed by evil spirits.

And I can feel the awkward and embarrassed expression of Manager Xia Li here. Even if she hides it well, there are many things that cannot be hidden. And I can even see her toes digging into the ground in embarrassment. If she uses a little more force, she can dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

"I...I regret it, Xiaohan. I feel like I was cheated by someone just now. I feel like I was cursed. Don't take what I said just now seriously. Really! Don't take it seriously. Whether Xiaotan is the number one or not has nothing to do with me, but don't touch my [Supernatural Knowledge]."

"Huh? But didn't you, store manager, say that [Supernormal Knowledge] was reserved for Xiao Tan?" I continued to ask.

"This... Being under a spell can make people say anything!" When Xia Li said this, she was really cursing herself in her heart, but she also realized some things.

No one would put such a curse on her for no reason, unless it was beneficial to someone else.

What she said just now defended Tan Han everywhere, which in itself was very problematic. She had to find an opportunity to use a lie detector alchemical item to test Tan Han. Although she didn't believe that this was Tan Han's doing, she could never tell a person's heart from his face. She was not a naive child who would believe whoever she was told to believe.

"Is this true? Then, manager, you must have a reason for calling me here. It's really irresponsible to blame all these things on a curse or something."

"I'm sorry, Xiaohan. This happened because of me. Phew... I'll make it up to you. Also... congratulations on making it into the top ten in the freshman competition. Sigh, I've been neglecting this issue before. I should have given it to you before the game. I hope you don't mind. You and Xiaotan are both members of my bakery. As for the source of magic power and the spellbook, I... no, you don't seem to need any of them..."

At this moment, Xia Li's tone was apologetic, her expression was sincere, and her words were cautious. She looked at me tentatively to see if I would blame her at this moment.

But when she talked about compensation, she took it in her hand and recalled what I had just said.

I've gotten past the lack of mana sources and spellbooks.

As the saying goes, it is easier to add icing on the cake than to send charcoal in the snow. This made Xia Li not know how to give away the spell book in her hand.

"Look, that... Xiaohan, this is my little treasury, take whatever you like, just consider it my compensation to you, but... but, you can't touch the [Supernatural Knowledge]."

At this moment, Charlie was protecting the safe behind her in her huge little treasury, and the rest of the place was left for me to take at will.

"This... Manager, how can I do this?" Although I said that, my body was very honest.

It's like what I thought of as Charlie wasn't unfair to me, but there was still an imbalance when we treated them differently, even though there was no reason for that to belong to me.

“Um... Xiaohan... It’s not easy for me, the store manager, to maintain such a large club. If we can discuss it... please go easy on us. After all... After all..." After hearing what I said and my decisive actions, Xia Li realized that what she said just now was a bit exaggerated. What if the other party really wanted to move out?

"Manager, I naturally know my limits. In fact, you are asking me what I want now. I probably have a goal in mind, which is a spell book. Is it okay to just take a spell book?" I asked with a smile.

"A spell book? A spell book... Great, that's great. Xiaohan really cares for the store manager. The store manager will definitely take good care of Xiaohan in the future. If you encounter any problems in the future, just come to me. I will definitely help you to the best of my ability!"

After hearing my needs, Xia Li was also relieved. She was really afraid that I would ask for too much, or even say that I want everything except the [Supernatural Knowledge]. That would be too much!

How come she didn't realize that Xiaohan was so considerate? This is totally wrong!

"Um... Xiaohan, what type of spell book do you want? Even if... even if it's an over-consumption spell book, I... can still do it... haha..."

Xia Li recalled my performance in the arena, and knew that I had a spell book with a hundred points of consumption. If I really wanted to use a spell book to keep things quiet, I would have to bleed and give out a spell book with excessive consumption. Spell books with excessive consumption were the foundation-level resources for all clubs in the academy.

But for the sake of [Supernormal Knowledge], it's okay to give out such a spell book. Besides, Xiaohan is not bad either, so just consider it as an investment in Xiaohan. It's not a loss anyway.

And she did owe the other party a lot, especially when she recalled how she treated Xiao Tan and Xiao Han differently, her sense of indebtedness became even stronger.

Even thinking deeper, if Xiaohan had more mana sources and a more powerful spell book in the first game, then the favorite to win the championship at this moment would have changed from Tan Han to Yang Yuehan!

Thinking of this, Xia Li swallowed subconsciously, then looked at me, waiting for my decision.

"I want a spell that can improve learning efficiency, memory, or quick memory, comprehension, or simply stimulate interest in learning." I explained and described it a little. After all, I really need this spell, and the sooner the better. Although I have a lot of potions now, potions have side effects! If Senior Sister Xia Li has this kind of spell, it would be great!

"Huh? This kind of spell? These spells are in great demand. Compared with spell books of the same level, their value is much higher!" Xia Li did not expect me to make this request. This really touched her sore spot.

It's not that she doesn't have it, but that she does have it, and it's a very advanced spell book. Although most of these spells are unrestricted and have no fixed consumption, this kind of spell book also has a maximum consumption limit. Generally, the value of unrestricted spell books is evaluated by the consumption limit.

Xia Li has a spell book with a consumption limit of several hundred, and its value is even more precious than the excessive consumption spell book!

This is really a picky one...

"Xiao Han, why do you want this type of spell book?"

"Well... I've hit a bottleneck recently. I originally thought that I could choose this non-restricted spell book from the rewards after the freshman competition tomorrow, but due to well-known reasons, it's gone... If you don't have it here, I won't force you."

I pretended to look pitiful and waved my hands and said, in fact, I knew from Manager Xia Li's expression that she did have it. If she didn't, she wouldn't be so hurt.

It seems that I have underestimated the value of this kind of spell book.

"But if it's possible, can I buy it? I can trade it with Arcanite." Using Arcanite to trade spell books, I guess this is quite sincere, right? Anyway, I have a lot of Arcanite, so I don't need that much.

"What are you talking about? What I give you is just a spell book. If you let me go, it will just gather dust." After hearing what I said, Xia Li gritted her teeth and agreed directly. She regarded it as an investment in Xiao Han. Even if it wasn't an investment, at least they wouldn't become enemies.

It's very uncomfortable to make enemies with a group of people in the Witch Academy. You can't kill them or drive them away. They just want to disgust you. And if they become extraordinary witches, they will be more powerful than you.

The reserve witch and the extraordinary witch are two different concepts.

Her main business of running a bakery has offended many people, so she is well aware of this. Of course, she also has her own connections and backers, otherwise how can she protect [Supernatural Knowledge]?

"Oh? Really? Then let me thank the manager first!" I said with a happy face, and directly stopped the manager from going back on his word.

After getting the spell book, I accompanied the manager back to the front desk of the bakery.

After simply explaining vaguely what had just happened as the store manager requested, I left.

After all, the benefits are already in your mouth, why not run away?

Although obtaining this spell book was just a pleasant surprise.

After leaving, I also carefully looked through the instructions of this spell book.

This spell book contains an introduction to the spell, at least an introduction on how to use the spell book and what effects it will have.

I just don't know if this spell book can be modified?

This spell does not have a very clear name, just like there are many spell effects that cannot be simply described with a few words. Many spell effects and names are quite different. This feature often appears in many small spell books.

However, Senior Sister Xia Li randomly gave the spell a name based on its effect, so that it would be easier to find the spell when needed.

And what senior sister Xia Li commented on it was "learning and applying magic spells flexibly".

This is a spell book that is continuously consumed. It contains many effects, including improving memory and comprehension to a certain extent, and even providing a certain degree of concentration so that one's thoughts will not be interrupted by external disturbances. These are all incidental effects of this spell, and its main function is to link "learning" and "doing", that is, to use what has been learned, to enhance brain activity and associative ability.

Therefore, it is indeed correct that Senior Xia Li called this spell "Learn and Apply Spell Actively".

As for the actual effect, I can only know it after I use it myself. I hope I won’t be disappointed. This is the spell book that senior sister Xia Li feels painful to give away.

After walking a short distance, I went straight back to the villa.

It’s not evening yet, but my roommates are not in the living room. Maybe they are in the bedroom or out hanging out. I don’t care what they are doing. After all, everyone has their own privacy.

Me too.

Back in the bedroom, I couldn't wait to try out the effects of this spell.

After simply opening the spell, I felt the speed at which magic power was consumed. It seemed that a little magic power could be consumed about every minute.

After activating the spell, my mind did feel a lot clearer.

However, this is not the limit of this spell book, but the normal regular consumption. This consumption can be further increased. I can naturally increase it a little bit more. After all, no one would complain about high efficiency, right?

But it cannot be increased too much, otherwise even more than 700 mana sources will be a bit overwhelmed, and it takes time for the mana sources to recover.

To speed up recovery, you need special recovery spells or potions, etc.

Or an alchemical item that simply stores magic power, like the one Tan Han used at that time.

But what a coincidence, I don't have any.

This time I did not continue to study runes, but directly searched for relevant aspects of elemental theory in the online library of the geomancy system.

After all, spells are learned and applied flexibly. I am not in a hurry to learn runes now. I will start to study the basic energy-shaping spells. I want to master those basic energy-shaping spells thoroughly.

Then, on this basis, I will see if I have spare time to study other spells. For example, the illusion clone given to me by my senior is very useful. The spells of muting, imprisoning, and blinding given by the academy are also very good. I don't need to study these spells too much, as long as they are enough for my use.

For example, can a blinding spell be turned into a group blinding spell, or a flash bomb or something like that?

As for whether it can succeed, that is naturally a question mark. After all, spells are divided into many categories, and it is difficult to conduct in-depth research on them without corresponding professional knowledge.

When I walked out of the bedroom again, someone came back to the villa.

"Oh? Guan Qiuling? Why did you come back alone?" I asked, lying on the handrail on the second floor and looking at Guan Qiuling who looked a little tired after just coming back.

"Eh? Sister Xiaohan, I don't know. I usually... I didn't go out to play with them this time."

"Okay, I'm just asking casually." In my impression, Guan Qiuling is quite introverted. Since he doesn't know, I won't ask.

"By the way, have you been getting along well with your senior these past two days?"

"Hmm? That... Sister Xiaohan, don't ask me about this kind of thing..." When Guan Qiuling was asked this by me, he subconsciously pulled his clothes, as if he wanted to cover something, which made things even more obvious.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. I'm just a little concerned about my roommate's situation. If you have any difficulties, remember to tell me. By the way, did Hong Chenyi give you anything? The memory of the earth veins, something like a piece of crystal."

"This, yes, Hong Chenyi deliberately found me to use it for me, saying that it was given by you, Xiaohan sister. Everyone has one. That, thank you, Xiaohan sister, it is very useful to me."

"Okay... as long as you like it." Seeing Guan Qiuling like this, I didn't ask any further questions. Among the memories I gave him, if Guan Qiuling was satisfied with one of them... that would probably be it.

Although it's kind of tasteless to me.

Chapter 185: So I'm the Academic Leader of the Witch Academy?

the next day.

After personally testing the spell effects yesterday, the effect of learning and applying spells was beyond my expectations, and I also found that the effects of this spell and potion can even be stacked!

So I can't escape the fate of taking drugs in the end?

Although I don't have much aversion to taking drugs now, after all, Sister Bai has told me a lot about potions. Frequent use of potions will not cause any impact on the body, nor will it cause any addiction or dependence, especially for us who are preparing to become witches. Witchification will transform us into witches little by little, and our life level will gradually improve. The body's response to potions of extraordinary powers will be as normal as eating and drinking water.

I was busy until late at night yesterday, and it was one of the few times recently that I didn’t go to bed on time as usual.

Because I misjudged the duration of the potion, I was constantly excited and couldn't sleep.

But it's not without reward. I have basically mastered the five basic transmutation spells now, especially based on the theory of elements. I increasingly discover why some spells are not divided by elements, but are directly classified as "transmutation". This is because these spells are essentially the same. If I didn't understand the theory of elements, I might still think that there is a big gap between them. But after understanding the principles and looking back, I can only think "Oh, so that's how it is". Maybe this is the enlightenment that comes with knowledge.

And I discovered a good way to learn yesterday.

That is the illusion clone spell that Sister Bai gave me. This spell has a huge effect, but it is also notoriously difficult to control.

I even experienced a situation where after I was infected, my clone teased me.

This is because all the behaviors and logic of this clone originate from my own subconscious mind, and it is difficult for my subjective consciousness to interfere with her.

So when I tease myself, it is ultimately because in my subconscious mind, I have feelings for myself and even have the urge to tease myself!

Moreover, unless in a battle where the mind is highly tense and focused, the body will subconsciously obey itself completely, and the subconscious mind will also understand that it needs to fight. At this time, the clone will carry out various activities according to its own needs.
