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

"I can't guarantee its authenticity. Although you can buy a lot of things in the academy with ordinary money, the more powerful you become, the more resources you will need. Mana sources, spell books, potions... all require this kind of extraordinary materials. You should always plan for your future path, right?"

“The path ahead? But I don’t want to grow flowers and plants for the rest of my life, even if they are extraordinary plants.”

"You can't figure it out? Letting you plant extraordinary plants means you have to farm for the rest of your life? You are planting extraordinary plants! When you plant them, you will gradually have a basic understanding of these extraordinary plants and their characteristics, and then you can become a pharmacist! Pharmacists can make a lot of money! If you have good talent, you can even develop alchemy! After you master magic power, you can switch to making potions! With such a good way to promotion, are you still hesitating?"

"This...I..."

At this moment, she was exposed to so much information at once that her brain was a little overwhelmed. However, the terms such as pharmacists, alchemy, and potions were circling in her mind and they seemed very noble.

"But...can you give me some time to think about it?" Dongli Yiren finally asked.

"Of course. If you agree to it right away, I will doubt whether you are capable of doing it. You'd better learn more about this aspect. After all, this is to plan your future path. Besides, you are still a freshman. You and I have the time and capital to start over, right?"

"Thank you... I'll go back first..."

"and many more."

"What's wrong?" Dongli Yiren turned to look at me in confusion.

"If you have decided, I'll leave these extraordinary plants of mine to you. They are for you. When they mature, the fruits will be yours too."

"Is this... not a good idea?" Dongli Yiren glanced at the flowerpot and then at me, feeling a little uneasy as if she had taken advantage of me.

"This is just the gain from a secret realm. How about considering it as an investment for your future alchemy master?" Of course, the most important thing is that I may not have much time and experience to deal with so many seeds and seedlings. I'm just making the best use of them.

By the way, give yourself some relaxation. It’s not that I can’t cultivate the plants. I just need to relax intermittently. But these plants cannot be watered and cultivated intermittently. Just take it slow.

Besides, these things don’t sell for much, so I’m naturally reluctant to give them away, but for them it might be a considerable income.

Thinking of this, I remembered the rich lady in Sophie, who was even willing to exchange her notes for hundreds of copper coins. But sometimes knowledge is the most priceless, and it seems that she did not realize this.

If she hadn't realized this, she might have wasted her whole life on that plantation.

Unfortunately, I am not qualified to preach to others. I can only make rough inferences based on my own understanding.

"Oh, by the way, I asked that senior sister who was a plantation engineer for some of her planting and cultivation notes. If you have made up your mind, you can ask me for them." I said to Dongli Yiren. After all, I have read some of these notes. In the afternoon, I will record the contents that I don’t know or are easy to forget on the memory bookshelf.

"Huh? Thank you."

At this moment, Dongli Yiren felt that she was absolutely sincere in saying thank you.

After all, this is a development path that the other party has pointed out to me and it looks pretty good, so I naturally have to give it a try before I give it up.

Refining medicine and preparing drugs... this sounds like a career that can make a lot of money, although it may cost a lot of money beforehand.

But before that, she can save up slowly...or...find that person?

No, no, no! Dongli Yiren shook her head and threw away this tempting idea. If this was true, what was the difference between her and Guan Qiuling!

She...she wants to be a master alchemist in the future!

At least that's what she plans to do now.

Chapter 254: The Application of Skills

Many things recorded in Sophie's notes are still very important to me at this moment. This is a skill, a skill of guiding elemental energy with mental power.

Mental power is the first supernatural power we come into contact with. Like clairvoyance, many people have mastered it before entering the Supernatural Academy.

The witch meditation method of the Witch Academy is a training method to train mental power faster, and it is also a skill to condense mental power threads. This skill can greatly improve the efficiency of mental power interfering with extraordinary energy, and also lay a solid foundation for mental power to control magic power.

During this period, you can also access spell books and use them to cast spells.

Before that, our mental power was actually able to interfere with supernatural energy.

Just like the elements that are everywhere where we are.

I have tried to use mental power to stir the elements in the air before, and it was as magical as using chopsticks to stir water.

Sophie's notes describe the technique of using mental power to guide elements to cultivate specific extraordinary plants.

Maybe Sophie didn't notice it, or maybe she noticed it but didn't care. If this technique is applied to spells, without the framework of the spell book, I seem to be able to "make fireballs with bare hands"!

Of course, this is based on my complete understanding of the Fireball spell book. Only when I understand the spell book and the spell ritual can I make a fireball by hand.

At this moment, I am copying all these key points onto my memory shelf so that I can go over them again in my mind.

After recording this part, I started to try the hand-rubbing fireball spell. There is a big difference between hand-rubbing fireball and releasing fireball from a spellbook, and that is the issue of supernatural energy.

The fireball spell in the spell book is created by converting magic power into fire elements, but rubbing hands is different, as it directly mobilizes the fire elements in the air.

It's like this...

I stretched out my hand, and used my mental power to perform a fireball ritual, absorbing the "tiny" fire element in the air.

Then, a spark appeared and quickly went out...

"Tsk... that's all?"

I frowned, somewhat puzzled. Even if the fire element in the air was thin, it shouldn't be like this, right?

Or is it that the Fireball Spell requires too many fire elements, or is it that the energy level of magic, a supernatural energy, is very high and the converted fire elements are also very large, and this is the power that a normal Fireball Spell can achieve?

I tried again several times with the same result, and the best I got was just a small flame...

I seem to understand why the Witch Academy uses spell books. If everyone uses spells like this from the beginning, it would greatly dampen interest in learning, right?

And I think I know the fireball technique pretty well. Maybe things will be different when my mental power can interfere with magic power.

But my intuition tells me that things are not that simple, because if mental power can interfere with magic power, many things will not be so troublesome, and the value of spell books will greatly decrease, at least for senior students, so they will not be so eager for spell books.

And I also clearly understand what the spell book represents. It is a spell platform, the final result of connecting to real editing technology, from prototype spells to derivative spells...

Wait, this logic is wrong. Even if I don't know how to edit, I can still derive spells. If there is no framework of a spell book, then I can still use it.

So there must be other things in the spell book that I don’t understand, or even functions that I am not qualified to access.

Speaking of things that you are not qualified to access... I think of the domain of spells, real domains, not spell books with domain effects like the Rain of Fire domain.

Teacher Ji Niang said that the Fire Rain Field is not a real [Field], but just a derivative of the spell inspired by the Field.

Thinking of this, I shook my head and threw away the unrealistic things. These were all useless fantasies and could not even help me derive spells, so they were naturally useless.

Afterwards, I used the unity of knowledge and action to give myself a hint to concentrate, and then I began to organize my notes again.

This notebook is not only about the cultivation of extraordinary plants, but also a skill of using extraordinary energy. It seems to have some similarities with my "resonance" skill, but my resonance is simpler and cruder. Perhaps I can use this skill to fully perfect my resonance-derived skills.

Only when you have mastered the so-called real skills can you understand how crude the magic modifications created by previous cleverness are.

I guess what Mr. Ji saw at the time was similar, right? No wonder he told me to stop playing…

And now, I am also interested in other skills in the secret realm.

At first, I looked down on those unnecessary skills. For example, before I came into contact with the cultivation skills, I had never thought that the skills here contained the techniques to guide extraordinary energy.

Maybe this is analogy?

Perhaps it is also a reflection of learning and applying knowledge flexibly.

By the evening, I had finally written down all the key points.

Of course, it is impossible to remember all of this. I am not Superman, so I will just take the essence.

The rest depends on fate.

During this period, I also felt the shortcomings of the memory bookshelf. It was a bit unreasonable for me to write it myself.

The purpose of spells is to reduce trouble. No matter whether it is a physical or magical solution, I don't like to spend half a day copying with a pen.

It is time-consuming, laborious and wears out my hands. If I want to learn a lot of things quickly and in large quantities, the current level of the memory bookshelf can no longer keep up with my ideas.

It would be perfect if this memory bookshelf recorded everything I saw and was controllable.

After a brief reflection, I have temporarily divided the memory bookshelf spell book into three development stages. I am now in the first stage, and I have to copy it myself in order to remember the spell.

What follows is a two-step plan based on my own situation. I learn what I see, saving the trouble of doing anything myself, and use seeing as a medium to record knowledge and content.

The third step is to perceive what you have learned. After all, reading takes time. You have to read and understand every sentence, so you can directly use your mental power to perceive the content and record it.

Although the third step is somewhat far-fetched, it is not impossible. As for why we have to go through so much trouble to divide it into three steps instead of just one step.

That's because I know myself well. If I ask Teacher Ji Niang about the second step, maybe I can do it. But I'd better not worry about the third step. I can't do it, no matter what I do.

And just the second step is enough for me to use for a long time.

Sure enough, laziness is what drives people to make continuous progress.

After finishing this busy day, I also gave myself some time to rest. I really should change my impatient habit. After entering the Witch Academy, no one forced me to move forward. The only one who forced me was probably myself.

There are many other factors, because I should be considered as one of the freshmen in terms of age. If I don’t make progress, it means I will regress and be surpassed by others. The earlier the time is, the more obvious this leap forward will be.

Only when you reach the later stage of sedimentation will you not be so impatient.

But I couldn't stop my impatience at this moment.

I was eager to communicate with these guys in the dormitory, and I also hoped to stay in the group and see what normal students were learning and what they had learned...

At this moment, many people on the college’s Internet are discussing this exchange competition.

With the fermentation and climax in the past, it has now entered the second fermentation. Perhaps the aftereffect of the exchange competition has not yet passed.

At this moment, there are still countless senior students discussing related information.

There are also many senior sisters who edit videos and edit various wonderful clips. Of course, among them, Tan Han and I are the main force of the video.

During our exchange competition, various famous quotes were spread like memes, and various wonderful pictures or mourning pictures became emoticons.

I am no longer surprised by this. Wasn't this kind of operation very normal in my previous life?

Or it could be said that it is also the same in the outside world in today's world. But the emoticon that can most arouse my emotions is the world famous painting "Xiao Han is sleeping.jpg"!

They re-edited my expressions from the competition and exchange matches...

There are also extensions of this, such as "I'm in a bad mood when I woke up.jpg" and "I'm not fully awake.jpg", which are also annoying.

But after the emotions have subsided, I still have to collect the emoticons that I need to collect. Can’t I use my own emoticons?

They can play as they like, I don’t mind, and I even feel it’s not bad.

As long as my ideological level is at a higher level, they will not laugh at me.

Of course, there are also many sour comments, some of which are very jealous of the rewards for this exchange competition. After all, not every session has such treatment. They may even induce conflicts among the freshman group.

I was looking at these comments on my phone and could clearly see what they were trying to do.

However, as expected, many people were indeed aroused.

After experiencing many ups and downs and figuring out many things, I will not express my opinion on this. After all, I am the biggest beneficiary of this exchange competition, so my words are naturally not convincing to them.

Moreover...it goes without saying what kind of person is the one who can be provoked by such remarks to fight for interests that do not belong to him.

It would be disrespectful to myself if I wasted even a little time on them.

"Xiaohan!"

At this moment, a sudden knock on the door brought me back to reality, and I realized that I was so addicted to the Internet...

"Hmm? Dongli Yiren, is there anything wrong? Just open the door." I put away my phone calmly and said.

Then I saw Dongli Yiren push open the door a little restrainedly, and her eyes subconsciously looked around my bedroom, and finally focused on the open notebook on my desk.

"Well, I've thought about it..."

"What have you thought of?" I asked.

"I've made up my mind...I want to take this path!" Dongli Yiren said to me.

"Since you have made up your mind, there is no need to come and tell me. However, since you are here, I would like to ask you why. Don't you yearn for those supernatural powers, powerful... violent things?" After all, boys like this kind of things, right?

Could it be that Dongli Yiren has completely degenerated both mentally and physically?

"I... Actually, it's not that this kind of thing cannot be talked about." Dongli Yiren leaned against me and closed the door suddenly. It seemed that she didn't want to be heard by outsiders.

"In fact, I don't like it very much. Now... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this. When I was a child, I was blown up by firecrackers and sent to the hospital. It left a deep impression on me, so I'm actually still a little afraid of those spells. In addition, I haven't even got a spell book until now. Guan Qiuling has it, and she got it with her own ability. Yu Yetian doesn't care about spell books at all, but her enthusiasm for learning is the same as yours... Maybe I should really change my career path..."

"so?"

However, Dongli Yiren’s words also surprised me a little. I didn’t expect that two people in our dormitory had already obtained spell books. No wonder Hong Chenyi begged me to take her to the secret realm. Although she herself may not be aware of the danger of the secret realm, she knows one thing. If she can do the same thing as I do, then even if her self-knowledge cannot reach my level, her achievements will at least be at the top of the class.

"Yeah, that's it, and I'm... short of money too."

"I didn't expect you to tell me so openly, but maybe it will be more expensive to prepare the medicine? Have you thought about this problem?"

"I have thought about it, but this is a long process. I know that there will be courses on potion refining in the future. I will complete my accumulation of knowledge in potion before then and seize the opportunity to learn. Although I can't say that I will be able to impress the teacher, at least I can make an impression on the teacher when he chooses his own teacher in the future."
