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

When I heard what this senior said, my eyes immediately lit up. Making money is not shameful at all.

So I immediately acted enthusiastic, trying to get closer, lowering my profile and even raising my voice a little, but I didn't dare to raise it too much, otherwise it would backfire. "Um, senior, can you introduce some to me?"

"The introduction is a bit exaggerated. In fact, you freshmen just don't know these things. The simplest one is your Witch Academy system. It has many functions, including but not limited to checking periodic grades, course arrangements, class divisions, academy tasks, etc."

"That's it..."

I quickly picked up the phone issued by the academy. Although there were not many applications on it, the so-called Witch Academy System was very conspicuous.

"By the way, remember to use your student card to exchange personal information, otherwise you may not be able to log in." The senior student seemed to have thought of something and spoke again, "Just put the student card behind the phone and scan it, and the college system will automatically update the student information. If the binding is wrong, you can change it in the settings."

"Okay...ok."

I was busy opening the Witch Academy system. All the functions in it were indeed integrated into it, and the divisions and classifications were also very clear.

"Have you found it? There is also a part-time job column in the academy tasks. There will be many part-time jobs posted there. At least those posted here will not cheat you. Otherwise, you can report the other party for posting false tasks and get compensation."

"Oh~ I found it, thank you senior~"

After I found it, I immediately spoke in a sweet tone. It seems that everyone likes this.

"Just find it. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Yes, yes, but... well, I want to ask if the volunteer who guides the new students is paid? Is there a registration threshold?"

I quickly took over the conversation and asked, after all, if I could take on the task of guiding freshmen during their enrollment period, I could brag about it for a long time.

If I have time, I will definitely not miss it. Even if it is free, I might try it a few times.

But I can only play a few times, and now my main focus is still on making money.

"Freshman, you have a very strange way of thinking, don't you? Volunteers, of course, are free, at least there is no money. This is a task issued by the college. You can find it directly in the task system. The tasks issued by the college are very conspicuous and specially marked. But unfortunately, you don't even meet the registration threshold now."

The senior student seemed to be amused by what I said. She didn't even try to hide the smile on her face. She just leaned back slightly and looked at me with interest.

"Threshold? What threshold? Is it the one that helps freshmen integrate into the source of magic power?"

When I heard there was no reward, my enthusiasm was reduced by half. As for the remaining half, it was because it was still fun to watch, but I guess it wouldn't be my turn.

As for the so-called threshold, this is probably the only thing I can think of. Now I can't even mobilize the magic power in my own body, so how can I inject the source of magic power into the body of a new student?

Chapter 27: Speculations on the Source of Magic Power

"Yes, your current mental strength is not enough to mobilize magic power, let alone transfer the magic power source, not to mention you only have one magic power source."

"Then how can I adjust the magic power?"

I continued to ask, since this senior sister said that my mental power cannot mobilize magic power, then mental power is the key, so do I need to meditate more diligently?

"There's no rush. When school officially starts, your teacher will teach you in the first class. Learning to mobilize magic power is the most basic ability for a witch-in-waiting." She didn't point it out to me directly, but instead passed the buck to a teacher I had never met.

"Then...can I know in advance what the teacher teaches?" So I wanted to continue asking.

"Of course it's meditation. Is there any more effective way to improve mental strength than meditation?"

In response to my question, the senior student spoke as a matter of course, but she seemed to have thought of something and continued to explain to me.

"Oh, I remember now. The meditation method I'm talking about is different from the theoretical meditation you understand. In the first class of the semester, you will be taught a unique meditation method for witches. The invisible mental power will be transformed into solid mental power threads. Only then will your mental power be qualified to interfere with magic power."

I nodded with a vague understanding, which means that I can start learning after school starts, and then I will be exposed to new meditation methods.

Apart from anything else, I am very confident in theoretical meditation, so new meditation methods should be no problem at all.

"Thank you for telling me this..."

"Nothing. Any other questions?" The senior sister's tone changed a little when she said this, as if I had too many questions.

If I continue to ask, I feel that it will make this senior unhappy. After all, she is being asked all kinds of questions by freshmen so early in the morning. She is not here to provide consultation for freshmen. She is here to register.

"That's all. Thank you again, senior sister!" So I tactfully did not continue asking questions. After thanking her, I quickly left.

But I didn't walk far, but sat down in a corner. The conversation just now taught me a lot of useful information, such as the college system on the mobile phone, which has many functions, and I may need to explore it slowly by myself.

Then there is the question of how to use magic power, which involves a new method of meditation.

And if I heard correctly just now, it seems that the source of magic power can be transferred?

In other words, the first source of magic power in the freshman's body was transferred to him by the senior.

I have used my spiritual vision to observe the so-called source of magic power in my body, so I know very well that there is a large amount of magic power in the source of magic power, and it seems that the magic power can be slowly restored. If the source of magic power can be transferred...

Then people who have access to a large amount of resources can madly increase the number of their magic sources. In my current understanding, magic source represents magic power, and magic power is extraordinary power. Isn't the extraordinary world all about who has more power?

From this perspective, the source of mana is equivalent to the blue bar. The more blue you have, the more spells you can cast, and naturally the stronger your strength will be.

I don't know how the strength is divided in the supernatural realm. Is it roughly linked to the number of magic sources?

It shouldn't be so simple and crude, right?

I put these unfounded fantasies behind me. After all, relying solely on my own wild imagination is of no practical use. I think the teachers will teach me these common sense when the time comes.

Now I should worry about my financial future. If I don’t find a way to make money that I like, I guess I won’t be able to eat lunch well.

Even if I could find a part-time job that's easier, that would be fine.

It would be best if it was the kind that allows you to come and go as you please and is billed by the hour. After all, my main purpose of coming to the Witch Academy is to learn knowledge in the supernatural field, not to find a part-time job here to make a living.

The main event cannot be mistaken.

Of course, making money is also very important at this stage. I wonder if the college has any financial aid for poor students. Aren’t there subsidies for boys enrolling?

Forget it, let’s wait and see later.

I opened the college system and began to check it carefully.

The senior student told me that I can see the class divisions and courses in it, but I can’t see it now, or it shows as unassigned.

That's true. After all, the college hasn't started yet, and even the college probably doesn't know how many new students will register when school starts. The discrepancy must be related to the abducted new students.

You can't just exclude them from the roster and assign them to departments and classes just because they were abducted, right?

After learning that there was no notification in this regard for the time being, I began to look at what tasks were included in the college's task system.

After opening it, I saw that the task system was divided into many areas. The most conspicuous one was the "official" tasks of the college. At first, I thought the top task was to serve as a volunteer to guide new students into school, but it turned out that the first one was a bounty task to snatch people!

It was even considerately pinned by the college, and it was the only one pinned.

This task has been shown to have been accepted by many people, but it has not yet been shown as completed. How important a person must be to deserve such treatment?

I looked at the first task, and after clicking it, I saw the specific information inside.

The new student that the college wants to snatch is called "Tan Han".

Based on the little information I know, she is the first and only academic genius in the country to have scored full marks. These are full marks. Even with my limited understanding of the ranking of college entrance examination scores, I know that such a thing as a full mark only comes out at least once every few years.

That's why I heard the name of this person I've never met.

It has been many years since the last full score, no wonder the Witch Academy issued this task.

No need to think about it, this task has nothing to do with me. She and I are both freshmen, so how can I snatch someone away?

I'd better find a stable part-time job, if possible, closer to where I live or closer to the central teaching area.

After searching for a long time, I saw the familiar words "Shin-Mogli Block". By the way, my dormitory is also there, right?

Isn't that very close?

After clicking on it, I saw that it was a recruitment advertisement for apprentice clerks in a bakery. It seemed to have been here for a long time, but not many people were recruited. Could it be that they forgot to cancel it?

Even so, I still want to contact and ask, if it is possible, it would not hurt to give it a try.

Besides, it would be nice if I could master some baking skills, and then try it myself in the dormitory. After all, there is a kitchen in that big villa. Although I only took a quick look and didn't pay attention to it, it would not be good to leave it there and waste it.

I dialed the phone very efficiently and looked forward to being connected.

"Hello? Hello, are you here to apply for a job?"

After the call was connected, a voice came from the other end immediately. From the way the other party spoke, it seemed that this phone call was reserved for job applicants.

"Yes, may I ask if you still have..."

"I'm hiring. If you're interested, you can come directly to the place where I registered to interview with me."

"Okay...ok, thank you for your help." I said politely.

"No trouble, hanging up."

I heard the other party hang up so quickly, and couldn't help but worry. This must be a regular part-time job.

After all, the senior student just said that if you are cheated, you can file a complaint and ask for compensation.

Thinking of this, I felt more confident. It wouldn't cost me anything to give it a try.

Chapter 28: Apprenticeship in a Bakery

When I got to the place.

I realized that this place is indeed not far from my dormitory, and the geographical location alone has already attracted me.

I looked through the glass curtain wall outside at the facilities inside the bakery. The space inside was not small, and the slightly compact cake stands were neatly arranged inside, presenting the bread and pastries in their best appearance to customers.

The main products inside seemed to be various kinds of bread. When I stopped outside the store to watch, the shop assistants inside also looked at me, and their fiery gazes seemed to be expecting me to come in.

But it seems like there aren't many customers in the store. Is it so deserted here?

I looked at the two girls inside, who were wearing what seemed to be the store's uniform. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be seniors who were several years older than me.

But are there only two shop assistants?

Is this scale enough to maintain the normal operation of a bakery, or is the pastry chef still busy behind the scenes?

It seemed that they felt that I had been staying here for too long, so they spontaneously came forward to open the door and prepared to treat me as a patron.

"I'm a new student. Is there anything I can help you with? We support custom-made pastries and cakes. In addition, our exquisite red velvet cakes can be delivered to your door~"

I agreed with a little embarrassment. After all, I just came to see if I could apply for a job. But when I saw that there were so few people here, I started to worry.

But what I am more curious about is how they can tell at a glance that I am a freshman?

There's nothing special about my witch cape and badge, they're the same as those of my senior schoolmates, but I didn't feel comfortable asking such questions.

"I saw the recruitment task in the college system. Are you still recruiting here?"

No matter what, I finally decided to give it a try. After all, I have to ask whether they will hire people or not. I don’t consider whether the store will go bankrupt or not. At worst, I can just find a part-time job if it does.

"Recruiting? Hey, is our store manager recruitment still open, Yihan?" The senior student leaned over to another senior student and asked in a low voice, but she did not hide her feelings at all, so even I could hear it.

“They should be recruiting. Why don’t we ask the store manager?” The senior student named Yi Han suggested uncertainly.

Then they started making phone calls to ask questions in front of me.

"Well, I'm sorry, junior. If it's about a job application, we're not sure. We'll ask the manager for you. But I'm curious why you chose to work in our bakery?" Senior Yihan came to me to comfort me and asked about the situation casually.

"It's just a part-time job before school starts. I don't have much money left, and this place is close to my assigned dormitory." I answered truthfully. Since my recruitment had nothing to do with these two clerks, there was nothing wrong with talking about this.

"Not much money? You're attending Witch Academy, doesn't your family give you living expenses?"

"Well... I had a conflict with my family." I answered this truthfully. After all, it was true. The atmosphere in the Witch Academy was not good, and there would always be some parents who would worry that it would be a bad thing for their children to attend the Witch Academy.

"Is that so? Don't worry. If the store manager is still interested in hiring someone, there is actually no threshold for us to work part-time. Besides, there are not many customers here, and the workload is not heavy."

As I listened to this senior student talking to me, the corners of my mouth twitched slightly. Is this what she should say to me?

If there's no money to be made here, would anyone really come here to work?

Unless the money is a lot, I would still feel a little disgusted.

If the salary is not much, the only thing that attracts me is the less workload.

While I was chatting with this senior, the phone call of the senior next to me also came through.

"Hello, store manager, are we still hiring? Yes, yes, yes, there is a new student here who is interested in working part-time here..."

"I know about this. We just talked on the phone. Please help me take a look. If she is pretty, accept her and pay her the normal salary."

"Okay, okay..."

At this point, I have stopped chatting with this senior student. Is the senior student who was making the phone call using the speakerphone?

I heard the voice of the other store manager!
