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

And this is just the appetizer, the sauce is the main thing, right?

The sashimi of the so-called extraordinary creature became a foil.

"Xiao Han, your performance in the exchange competition this time was really amazing, you know that? Those colleges looked like they were sitting on the bench, with gloomy faces in the audience seats throughout the exchange competition. It was so funny."

"Actually... it's okay..."

"Don't be too modest. Being too modest is just arrogance. How come you are so good? From the moment you set off the forest fire, the whole exchange competition has been in your rhythm!"

"Actually, I'm just taking it one step at a time..."

"What about your ex-girlfriend? Are you particularly displeased with her?" Yishayuan continued to ask. After all, all this was caused by the big fire that happened that time. Who would believe that this didn't involve some personal grudges?

"Um...actually..."

"Xiao Han, you don't have to mention her if you don't want to. Sister Yuan, what's your problem?" Bai Yu also spoke at this moment.

"It's nothing, actually. We just broke up peacefully during the holiday, and then we bumped into each other here again. That's about it." I sighed and said simply.

"I see...long distance relationships are indeed unreliable, and breaking up is normal, but...excuse me, was Xiaohan a boy before?"

"Yi...Sha...Yuan!" Bai Yu reminded from the side.

"Oh, I'm just asking. After all, Xiaohan's performance in the exchange competition was so outstanding, and his behavior is very boyish. Of course, when making desserts, he's also very... Well, I won't say more." Under Bai Yu's murderous gaze, Yisayuan shut up.

"Xiao Han, you may run into a lot of trouble after this exchange competition, but it doesn't matter. If anyone causes trouble for you, just call me directly."

"Looking for trouble with me?" I looked at Sister Bai in confusion, not knowing what this meant. Could it be that there are senior sisters in the Witch Academy who are unhappy with me and will look for trouble with me?

"Since Bai Yu brought up the topic here, let me talk about it too, Xiao Han. This exchange competition involves many colleges, so the rewards are also very generous, and cover the resources of each college. It can be said to be very tempting."

"If you meet polite seniors, they may ask you to exchange, trade, or even buy in a fair way. I hate those who are rude and just ask for it. Of course, if they can't get it, they may challenge you. Don't underestimate the bottom line of those guys in the Witch Academy."

"Doesn't the college care about this kind of thing?" I asked curiously.

"Of course. A genius like you will definitely be taken care of by the teacher, but what will happen next? Every time they bother you, you go to the teacher? This is overdrawing your value in the academy. It will be considered that you are a withdrawn person who only thinks of looking for the teacher when facing problems and has no ability to solve problems by yourself. Your ability will be questioned."

"Well... I can already imagine the disgusting faces of those guys!" I said quickly. It seems that the Witch Academy is indeed a very realistic academy.

As expected, becoming famous brings a lot of trouble.

"It's okay, you can come to us. Although those guys are disgusting, there are quite a few people in the academy who are reasonable. But it depends on your methods."

This meal was a great experience. Although it was just a meal, later on it turned into Sister Bai and Sister Yuan lecturing me.

And I also began to pay attention to the various troubles I might encounter in the future.

Before, the school had just started and the troubles had no chance to come because it was interrupted by the college competition. After that, there were so many exchange competitions among colleges. However, these are not the norm in Witch Academy. When it comes to understanding Witch Academy, these two sisters certainly know more about it than me.

Of course, in addition to these troublesome things and trivial matters, we also talked about many other things, such as analysis of my current situation and how to use my advantages to do well in the college.

But I still want to spend my time in college in my own way.

After all, other problems can be dealt with as they arise. At worst, I can just ask the teacher for help. Their concerns about my value being reduced in the eyes of the college are naturally not worth mentioning to me, and I did not refute this.

What's more, even if she is a senior, I am not inferior to her. I have fallen to the point of using such means to bully freshmen. Do I still expect that the other party is a powerful senior?

It's not certain who will rob whom at that time.

"Oh, we don't need to chat any longer. We have to leave so soon. However, please come to my place more often next time to patronize my business. But remember to make an appointment in advance. Anyway, I'll take you here first."

"Well, goodbye, Sister Yuan~"

After saying goodbye to Isayuan, I touched my stomach and felt satisfied as if I had eaten all the delicious food that I hadn't eaten in the past few days at once.

Likewise, I have a better understanding of the technical aspects of potions, and if I have the chance, I wouldn't mind trying to learn some related knowledge.

"Sister Bai, that Sister Yuan is such an interesting person."

"Well, that's also a very powerful senior I know. When I met her, she hadn't graduated yet. At that time, I thought she would become an extraordinary witch, but I didn't expect that she would make this choice in the end."

Speaking of Isa Yuan, even Bai Yu sighed a little, but she just sighed, "Let's not talk about her anymore, let's talk about something else, Xiaohan, you said during the exchange competition that it took up too much of your time, are you going to continue studying your spell book?"

"Studying spell books... No, studying spell books is too metaphysical. I haven't understood the specific essentials yet. And I found that studying spell books is best done during combat. I have more important things to make up for now."

"Really? Something more important? Then would you mind telling Sister Bai?"

"Of course I don't mind. What's more important is... fighting skills..."

"Battle skills?"

"Well, I lack the fighting skills to maximize the power I control." I nodded.

This is what Tan Han taught me. Of course, this is also because Tan Han mainly uses transformation spells as the core of his combat system, so he attaches so much importance to the role of skills in combat.

But it is impossible for me to completely imitate Tan Han's fighting skills. Although I also like close combat, I don't have many transformation spells and they are not strong, so it is impossible for them to be the core of the combat system.

But I also need to learn these skills. This is a kind of thinking development. It is also about facing an opponent who also focuses on skills. I have to have enough understanding of the opponent and will not be crushed by the opponent in this aspect.

And now, on the other side.

In the residences provided to students from various academies who come to the Witch Academy for exchanges, there are also many people facing difficult choices.

Aqir from Holy Angel Academy paid a price for his willfulness and brought shame to the entire Holy Angel Academy. Even if the instructor did not punish him, the pointing and criticizing of other students could not be ignored.

He himself is also reflecting on himself, constantly praying to the Holy Light and faith. Although it is called a prayer, it is actually a kind of self-exploration and practice. This kind of prayer is similar to the witch meditation method of the Witch Academy, but the form is different and the effect is also different.

On the other side, at the Wizarding Academy, the atmosphere was even more depressing.

As one of the three top academies, they delivered such an outcome in this exchange competition. Their own wizard tower was even hacked open!

Now the outside world is laughing at them, saying they are useless and worse than Birdman. They have completely become a laughing stock.

They didn't even dare to imagine how they would be treated after returning. Would they be kicked out of the wizard tower? This might be the best outcome.

The Wizard Tower is an honor to the Wizarding Academy!

There were a total of ten people in the exchange competition, and even three were selected to control the wizard tower instead of just one person!

Even so, the wizard tower was taken down by someone!

Even the emblem of their wizard academy, the wizard tower that represents supreme glory, was spoofed and split by a sword. The key point is that this came from the Witch Academy, which shows how embarrassed they were when they were humiliated.

"Before you return to school, you should stay here and use your long-unused brains to figure out why you performed so poorly in the exchange competition!"

"And you, Lu Sien, you can be said to be the one I have the highest hopes for. You volunteered to be the team leader, so you should reflect on this!"

Andrew snorted coldly and moved his eyes away from Lu Si'en. If he didn't have that seed of luck in him, he wouldn't have wasted any time on this guy who had performed extremely mediocrely since he entered school.

As Wizard Andrew left, Lu Si'en grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly. He felt that all this was very ironic. As a team leader... he couldn't enjoy any of the treatment of a team leader at all!

Just go back like this?

No... He can't go back like this anymore, otherwise his fate will be worse than death, and all his efforts in the exchange competition will be a joke...

He naively thought that he could reduce the punishment by trying his best, but in the face of the wizard of reason and interests, all this was just a fantasy to comfort himself.

Chapter 245 Prototype Spells and Derivative Spells

Originally, I wanted to spend more time with Sister Bai, but Sister Bai also had her own things to do, and Teacher Ji Niang also sent me a few private messages to say hello.

So, in the end, I had to separate from Sister Bai. After all, it was Sister Bai's last year of formal study in the college. Although Sister Bai said that there was no rush and that she could just continue studying in the college after graduation, I could still see that Sister Bai took this very seriously.

The topic... I really don't know what that is.

But compared to this, I am more concerned about why Teacher Ji Niang asked me to come over. Is the reward going to be issued so soon?

This speed is a bit too fast.

"You're here. Just in time. Sit down first." Ji Niang was sitting in the office and said casually when she saw me pushing the door open.

"Well, Teacher Ji Niang, is there something you want me to come over for?" I asked.

"Of course it's about further things related to the exchange competition. It was not convenient to talk about it in the arena at that time, but it is more convenient now." Teacher Ji Niang activated the isolation spell while speaking. Generally speaking, when Teacher Ji Niang does this, it is most likely related to the so-called luck script.

"Before we start the official topic, let's talk about other off-topic topics. During the exchange competition, I seemed to see that you have a new skill in using the spell book, which is completely beyond the scope of the spell book. What do you think of these skills?"

"See...what do you think?"

I asked in confusion, I don't know why Teacher Ji Niang asked me this. It's not like this needs to be compiled and published as qualifications, right? It shouldn't be necessary.

"Just talking about it. I see that you don't have a systematic exploration and progress in this area. I'm just curious about what you call this ability, what you think about it, and what you are going to do next?"

"Well... I just want to modify the spell book to achieve more effects and apply it to various environments... After all, although my spell book looks like a lot, it is complicated and even has little effect in many situations..."

"Go on. It's okay. Just treat me as a listener and tell me about your mental journey in completing these. I have to say that you have done a great job, but I need to guide you in the right direction and concepts. Before that, I need to understand your thoughts."

"This...I see...Then I'll be frank. The few techniques I have mastered now are all magic modifications to the basic spellbook. There are three in total. The first one I named Floating...It is the spell effect that follows the release of the spell. The second one is Resonance, which relies on the resonance of the spellbook with simple elements and the corresponding material things of the elemental resonance. The third one is Focus, which compresses the energy spell to a point for concentrated burst. It is used to break armor. At that time, it was used against the Dwarf Sacred Shield."

"You call these three techniques the universal techniques of basic energy-shaping spells, right?" Ji Niang asked again to confirm.

"Well, theoretically they should all be applicable, but I haven't had time to try them all out yet... I think these techniques can be used in combination."

"I've seen this. It's a very creative idea to float and collect points." Ji Niang gave a pertinent answer. "Do you have anything else to add?"

"Um... I found that resonance can play a big role in the Fire Rain Field spell. I want to know, if the higher the consumption of the spell book, the higher the upper limit, the more skills similar to mine can be supported?"

"It seems that I still underestimated you. You have researched to the realm of fire rain? It seems that your research is really out of the ordinary, but I want to correct you. Strictly speaking, it is not true. The higher the level of the spell book, the higher the upper limit of its use, not the higher the consumption. Usually people link the spell book level with the consumption limit, but this only applies to part of it."

Teacher Ji Niang also shook her head and continued speaking.

"When spellbooks were first created at the Witch Academy, they were not divided into basic cost, medium cost, and excessive cost. These categories were made by the first students to distinguish the value of spellbooks and have been passed down to the present day because they are convenient and easy to understand, and are applicable in most cases. Therefore, we have temporarily recognized them. Since students are not extraordinary and do not have your level of clairvoyance, what really distinguishes the strength of spellbooks is actually the internal structure and runes of the spellbooks, and they cannot distinguish them very well."

"You should have noticed, right? Some spell books have low cost but are extremely useful, while some spell books have high cost but can only do ordinary things."

"Yeah, sure." I nodded.

For example, illusion clones and teleport summons are indeed powerful, but things like flesh healing and the blessing of elemental spirits are mediocre in effect, but the consumption is extremely high. Perhaps this high consumption can be said to make the effect special, but no matter how special it is, it is essentially only an effect to a certain extent, but the consumption is real.

"It's best if you can understand. If you want to understand the specific level division of spell books, you need to master runes first. Because only with this knowledge can you understand how the levels of spell books composed of ritual runes are divided."

"Anything else? If not, then it's time for me to teach you some science."

"Well... not for now."

I shook my head and said, actually, I still have many small trivial problems, but they are not very urgent. When I encounter specific things, I don’t even realize that I can’t understand them. But since Teacher Ji Niang is teaching me, it must be new knowledge that I have never been exposed to, so naturally I will focus on this. Maybe after understanding this new knowledge, I can learn it without a teacher?

Of course, new and more problems may also arise.

"Okay." Ji Niang shook her head and continued speaking.

"Regarding the topic we just talked about, the skills you have mastered, whether it is magic modification or other, at this moment, I need to give you a concept supplement, that is, prototype spells and derivative spells. The vast majority of spells in the world can be divided into these two types of spells. It's very easy to understand, right?"

"Yeah, sure." I nodded.

"These two spells have further developed into prototype spell books and derivative spell books."

"This is easy to understand. A prototype spell book is a spell book constructed using prototype spells. The definition of a prototype spell is actually a bit confusing, which means that no stable conclusion has been reached so far, but the general meaning is the prototype of the spell that was first created, such as the Fireball spell."

"A derivative spell is a spell derived from an original spell. It is a spell that is derived from an original spell, but also comes from the original spell and is independent of the original spell. For example, your floating fireball spell can be called a floating fireball spell, which is a derivative of the fireball spell. That's why I said that the skill you mastered has gone beyond the scope of the original spell book. If you master the real editing technology, then you can directly create a powerful derivative spell that is independent of the fireball spell."

"I see..." After hearing Teacher Ji Niang's easy-to-understand explanation, I also had a corresponding concept, but I remembered something else, "Then the spells I modified before can also be made into derivative spells?"

"This idea is wrong. Your previous magic modifications were just minor ones. The magic modification of Fireball increased the efficiency of magic conversion, and the magic modification of multiple Fireballs were all techniques. This requires mentioning another concept, extended spells. Extended spells are derived from prototype spells, but they are not independent of the prototype spells. Therefore, extended spells are included in the prototype spells."

"So extended spells are also prototype spells, right? It's just a different way of expressing the prototype spell." I said after I realized it.

"Yes. For example, Fireball, Fire Blade, and Pyrotechnics are all prototype spells of the same type. I remember you have Fireball and Pyrotechnics, right? Although they are made into two different spell books, and even have different consumption, they are both prototype spells. That's why I said before that the definition of prototype spells is a bit vague. Just understand it."

Teacher Ji Niang patiently explained it to me with examples.

"So the techniques I figured out were the effects of spell derivatives that I stumbled upon by accident? It's just that I don't have the ability to truly edit, so I can't separate the derived spells, right?"

"That's what I mean." Ji Niang nodded. "Also, I have one more thing to say. You should have more than just these three skills. You are also trying to explore the fourth skill, right?"

"Huh? I've been discovered..." I scratched my head and asked with a smile.

"You threw away all your spell books at that time because you wanted to figure out that kind of technique under that situation, didn't you? Ordinary students may not be able to see it, but the teachers were all watching. Do you have any idea about that kind of extended spell?"

"Um... uh, no, I don't have a clue yet, but I feel that it involves runes... I can't rush it."

"Indeed, we can't rush. This involves more than just runes. Let me ask you, are you planning to try the domain for your fourth derivative? Is it inspired by the Rain of Fire domain spell?"

"Huh? Can you see this too?" I asked in surprise.

"Of course, your thoughts are fully reflected in your actions. I have to strike you down in advance. The concept of domain is not accessible to those who are not supernormal. In other words, the source of your inspiration, the Fire Rain Domain, is not a real domain. If you keep trying, you will only end up copying others and end up with something worse. It will also give you preconceived notions that will hinder you from embarking on the path to becoming supernormal in the future."

"Huh? Is it so serious?"

I was frightened by what Teacher Ji Niang said, but I was also shocked that the Fire Rain Domain Spell wasn't a domain?

Well... the concept of domain may be more advanced than I thought. But think about it, if raining fire is also a domain, then if I create countless fireballs and rain fireballs, can't I also call it a domain?

"Things are more serious than you expected. Anyway, put aside your exploration of the domain. If you are just exploring means similar to the domain, or derivatives, I have no objection, because the existence of the Fire Rain Domain spell proves the feasibility of derivative domains. The Fire Rain Domain spell is also a derivative spell, which is inspired by the concept of the domain of the Fire Rain spell."
