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

They would also recommend some specific rune books. The group owner’s recommendations were also indispensable for me to learn about runes so quickly.

At that time, the senior sister who mocked me on the first day was also from this circle. Later, the conflict was resolved in the group. After all, she was cornered by such girls at that time, so she mocked me without any reason. I didn’t care about it, and I would even forget it if I didn’t mention it.

"This... is the book you wanted, right? I've finished reading it. It was you who asked for this book in the group chat, right?"

"Hey? Thank you. You finished reading it so quickly? But this book on runes mainly talks about the rune combinations for alchemical rituals. Are you also planning to get in touch with alchemy?"

"Yeah, that's the idea," I responded.

Mainly, I want to try something else.

Ever since I've experienced the rhythm of battle, my body feels like it's rusting if I sit for a long time without moving.

Of course, the main thing is to connect with the outside world a little bit. Being separated from the outside world for too long will cause a lot of trouble.

"Really? I see you are involved in all kinds of runes in the group, as if you know everything. I also plan to follow the path of alchemy, senior sister, please guide me!"

"Um... let's talk about it later. I may not be in the library next time. I plan to do something else."

"Oh? You're not coming?"

"Yeah." Mainly because I feel a little embarrassed to be called senior sister by the senior students...but I also feel an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

Chapter 261: Secret Realm of Trial Zero and Infinite Trial

If I want to "move around" and test my progress, the best choice is naturally to fight. The fighting allowed in the Witch Academy is naturally in the arena, just like the largest open-air arena when the competition was held.

Of course, I can also have better choices, such as the secret realm.

I admit that there is nothing wrong with what Renata said. There are some rare secret realms that I am not qualified to visit and I have never even heard of them. But she also cannot deny that there are no good things in the public secret realms. Is that right?

She didn't dare say that.

Although I have been studying rune-related content this week, I am not unwilling to learn about other things. For example, I have also learned about which secret realms are most frequently visited by senior students in the college and which are the most popular secret realms.

Generally, after three years of courses, everyone has accumulated a certain amount of magic source and spell books. If they have some tricks or are good students who have benefited from the academy's resources, their strength may become even stronger.

Such students generally like to go to the Witch Trial Secret Realm. Yes, this secret realm is the "Trial Secret Realm Zero", a super large secret realm provided by a graduated senior.

It is described as super large because the internal space is divided into many parts and is in a superimposed state. Everyone who enters will be in an independent trial space.

Various monsters will spawn randomly here, and you will just have to fight continuously until you are exhausted.

If it were just that, it would not be so popular. The main reason is that this secret realm can be exited at any time, which ensures one's own safety during the trial and greatly reduces the cost of death or serious injury.

Moreover, this secret realm is officially supported by the academy. What does that mean? The rewards in the secret realm will be provided by the academy, but don’t expect them to be very good.

But this secret realm will produce a stable source of magic power!

This is a good place for students with certain combat abilities to start accumulating magic power.

The monsters that spawn inside the Trial Secret Realm are called miscellaneous soldiers, because the stronger senior students can basically kill them instantly, but the most important issue is still the number.

The quantity inside comes in batches from single, ten, one hundred to ten thousand.

There are five waves of monsters in total, and you can get corresponding rewards after each wave of monsters is eliminated.

But after each successful wave, there is only one source of mana.

What this means is that even if a senior is very powerful, she can only obtain five magic sources in one clearance.

This secret realm can be challenged at any time, with no limit on the number of times or other restrictions, except for the reward. Each batch can only receive the reward once a week. Once you have completed the challenge this week, there will be no more, and you will have to wait until next week. However, even if there is no magic source reward, the academy still encourages students to take the trial, but the rewards will be in other forms.

It’s similar to a stone tablet that records special skills. You can take photos or make rubbings yourself. You don’t have to learn it if you’re not interested.

In fact, the academy has encouraged students to master more skills in this way. After all, in addition to learning extraordinary knowledge and becoming a witch, the most important thing in the academy is to master a skill.

In fact, when I saw this secret place, the first thing I thought of was the guys in the dormitory and the classmates in the class.

I am not short of these magic sources, but they are. Right now, most of the freshmen only have one magic source upon enrollment and the spells solidified by the badge given, and that is all.

But I still have some concerns. I'm afraid that they will take the risk and die in there, and be burdened with the debt of resurrection at such a young age.

Although their life or death has nothing to do with me, if I called on them to do such things and they died, some people would always hold a grudge against me.

I'm too lazy to cause such trouble, so I might as well not do it. At most, I can take those people in the dormitory with me to try it.

After all, I had a pretty good relationship with them, and then they spread the information and removed me from it. Finally, I found out about it "accidentally" and issued a danger warning in the group.

If you die and blame me for it, I can only say that if you are a beginner, you should practice more. If you can't afford to die, don't play. You'd better drop out of school.

After coming out of the library, I planned to experience this secret realm in person and get some free magic power.

I didn’t change my original identity of “Yue” either, after all, this would save me a lot of trouble.

When I arrived at the Witch Secret Club, I lined up according to the procedure.

While waiting in line, I also saw the cost of the entrance ticket to this trial secret realm, which was as high as one arcane gold!

But if compared with the mana source, it seems to be worth it. Although I am not sure which is more expensive, the market price of a mana source or arcane gold, the mana source should essentially be more expensive than arcane gold.

After all, the internal information of the magic source that I saw under my spiritual vision was very complex. The skills contained in it and the endless magic power are of high value anywhere, and arcane... is just a super precious metal that can be circulated as currency, and it is also an extraordinary material.

But this is the Witch Academy. If the source of magic power is not difficult to obtain, its price and value cannot be reconciled.

What's even more terrible is that before becoming an extraordinary witch, the number of magic sources each person can possess is capped at 10,000, which leads to a further depreciation of the value of magic sources among prospective witches.

But for the vast majority of students, there are generally no special circumstances, and they estimate that they cannot reach as many as 10,000 pieces, so the value of the magic source is still guaranteed.

Even if there is this secret trial realm that produces a stable output of magic source, in ten years, even if I persist for ten years, I roughly calculated that I would only be able to obtain about two to three thousand magic sources at most.

If you want to persist in doing this, there are probably very few people who can do it.

Moreover, after graduation or completion, this secret realm will no longer be available for you to refresh. It's not that you won't be allowed to enter the secret realm, but even if you enter and complete it, you won't be given any mana source.

By the time they reached senior year, the senior students had mastered certain methods of their own, and in the later period they no longer valued the five magic sources a week. It could be said that there was a huge gap between the senior students and the ordinary students in the lower grades.

Freshmen certainly cannot get the threshold of one arcane gold. Of course, if you have the ability, you can get it, but most freshmen cannot.

According to the rule that the value of entering a secret realm is proportional to the degree of danger inside, this so-called trial secret realm obviously does not conform to this rule. Perhaps it has been exploited too hard, so the threshold has been raised.

After all, entering a secret realm with a low threshold may not necessarily bring any practical benefits, but entering a secret realm with a high threshold will definitely bring benefits. This is the preciousness of this trial secret realm. The "stable" output is its greatest value, which is equivalent to the white-hair resources of the academy.

As for the charging threshold, the Witch Secret Realm Club is also responsible for the maintenance of the secret realm. They can't afford to lose money in this regard.

"Hello, you are going to enter the Secret Realm of Trial No. 0, right? We have registered you here, just go there and teleport."

The senior student at the club's front desk handled the registration skillfully and handed me the student card without even noticing that I was Yang Yuehan.

I don’t know if this is a loophole or if I can’t register with someone else’s student card. After all, the student card is bound to the geomantic information, which is really mysterious.

I don't want to joke about this.

Coming to the teleportation array again, I have to say that I am very interested in this teleportation. I also master a teleportation summoning technique, but unfortunately I cannot teleport myself.

As the energy of the teleportation array surged, I felt my body shake, and then I came to an extremely huge space between heaven and earth.

However, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the ground was a little scorched, and crosses and tombstones could be seen everywhere in the distance. This was a place similar to a cemetery.

Before I could adapt to the environment here, and before I had time to take in the atmosphere here, an arm that was dried up and rotten to the point that only bones were left broke out of the ground not far away.

This kind of atmosphere plus this strange sudden situation might really scare those who are timid.

But I was fine, after all, I had been to that damn place called the Land of Depravity in my dreams, and it was much scarier than this.

"Skeletons? There are also the auras of the dead and the undead. It seems that the secret realm here is connected to the earth veins... The endless power of death, plus the undead skeletons, are indeed very good cannon fodder."

I nodded to this, barely accepting the setting of this secret trial realm.

At this moment, the skeleton also crawled out. There were only bones left on its body, but even so, it still had a rotten shield and a rusty and corroded sword on its body.

I lightly cast a wind blade and directly shattered its equipment. The undead fire in its eye sockets shook, as if it was instinctively "thinking" about what was happening.

But when the other party sees me, they will just think I am an enemy and run towards me.

Not to mention, even though it's just a skeleton, it can run quite fast, comparable to the average person's sprinting speed.

Afterwards, I used a fireball to completely blast it to pieces. The broken bones couldn't even be pieced together, but then ten skeletal arms stretched out from the ground and the skeletal bodies broke out of the ground, bringing up a cloud of broken soil. But I still dealt with these guys easily.

And I also tested the strength of this thing.

Assuming that one fireball can kill an ordinary person, a skeleton can withstand one fireball without any modification, but will be "seriously injured" after the explosion. Such a skeleton only needs one heavy blow, even with a stick, to be smashed to pieces. It can be said that one blow cannot kill, and two blows would be a waste.

The strength of this undead is too limited, isn't it? Even I can't help but complain about it.

But there was no pressure at all for me, and then I witnessed a spectacular scene: hundreds or even thousands of skeletons crawling out from the ground, it was so scary!

Of course, the consequence that made my scalp tingle was that all of them turned into broken bones and limbs lying on the ground.

And at this moment, I also felt the pleasure of being a summoner of spells.

This was the first time I used the high-consumption spell book "Shadow Legion Summoning". Hundreds of mana were consumed and transformed into a shadow army. Their movements were in unison, as if they were waiting for my instructions, and they were ready to fight in front of me.

Watching this large group of shadow legions directly fighting with thousands of skeleton undead, this kind of pure fighting and consumption is indeed an excellent choice to deal with human wave tactics.

This reminded me of the sea of ​​undead in my dream. If I had used this spell at that time, I could have suppressed those undead.

The undead at that time were just skeletons, and their fighting power was not even worthy of carrying shoes for the undead here. Now this group of shadow legions are crushing these undead, so those undead should have been suppressed directly.

But the only difference is that in the dream, the dead souls will be resurrected.

But compared to killing these undead, I am more concerned about the source of mana I will obtain after completing these batches.

The way this trial secret realm releases the source of magic power is very convenient. It appears directly in front of me and is pushed into my body by a force. I don't need any help from others. It can be said that it is very friendly to freshmen who cannot interfere with magic power.

However, the magic source is an invisible energy body to ordinary freshmen, unless their clairvoyance level is high enough to see it, or the magic source is sealed in a specific carrier container.

Otherwise, freshmen can only bind their student cards through their mobile phones and check the amount of their magic source on their mobile phones through the geomagnetic information.

I had always been able to see it before, and I almost thought that other people could see it too. This source of magic power was so silent that I was afraid that the freshmen didn't even feel it.

According to my current understanding of this secret realm, if it is a freshman, taking the guys in my dormitory as an example, it should be very easy for them to pass the first batch. If they are killed in the first batch, then I feel that I can quit the Witch Academy, right?

The second batch was more difficult. The main limitation for them was the mana source. It took a whole day to restore a mana source. No matter how many mana sources they had, it would take a whole day to fully restore them. However, they didn't have many mana sources. If they didn't have many, they couldn't cast spells all the time. If they couldn't cast spells, they wouldn't have any combat power...

With this said, the advantages of transformation or summoning spells in clearing this kind of secret realm are reflected.

Apparently, it makes sense that most of the spell books that the class leaders obtained from the previous competitions were for transformations?

With this method, you can continue to accumulate knowledge in the secret realm and be one step ahead of others. This is really convenient.

At this moment, the Shadow Legion's summoning technique felt a little stretched when facing ten thousand undead. Although each individual in the Shadow Legion was much stronger than the undead, they were suppressed in numbers at this moment, and severely suppressed.

Although it was still killing enemies continuously, it was gradually unable to withstand the massive attack. After all, the shadow legion summoned by the spell was just a spell effect.

Even using a high-consumption summoning spell book cannot pass this trial. In terms of difficulty, I still recognize this trial secret realm.

Of course, if I keep using the Shadow Legion Summoning Technique, I can also get through, but what about my consumption?

It directly consumed hundreds of magic points. With such a consumption threshold, which freshman can pass it?

There are tens of thousands of undead here. Even if I use the protection of elemental spirits, I will be exhausted just killing them.

Unless I use Rain of Fire, but that's not worth it, and the cost of other spells, including the three derivative spells of my Evocation spell, is also not to be underestimated.

Therefore, if I don’t consider consumption, I can solve it easily, but when I need to consider consumption and maximize savings, I am in trouble.

Because I don't have such a means to quickly clear the map with less consumption.

In the end, as the enemy kept approaching, I still chose the most primitive way to use basic energy-shaping spells, mainly to try out the combat memories I obtained from the geomancy memories.

Of course, I could also try physical skills here, but I haven’t mastered them yet and only know the theory. In order to avoid rollover, I chose a conservative approach to carry out the final cleanup.

Until it was all over, and I was exhausted.

This made me realize that at my current stage, I am unable to cope with wars of attrition and overwhelming numbers, and these are my visible weaknesses now.

But I am very satisfied with the fighting skills. This is a kind of experience, the experience of fighting, which is the best skill that requires a lot of time to summarize, and I only need to hone it a little to make it my own.

After all this was over, I got all five sources of mana.

At this moment, an operating interface similar to the underground operating system popped up in front of me.

"Wait... this secret realm... infinite trial mode?"

I looked at the information above and didn't start rashly, but instead checked what this meant.

Rewards can only be obtained once a week in the Secret Realm of Trial No. 0. If the infinite trial mode is opened after passing all the trials, the undead will continue to pour out until the trial-taker is forced to quit. The explanation here also specifically states "please do what you can", and also considerately marks the cost of resurrection and the various materials needed, etc.

In addition to this endless trial, this operation interface also has the function of viewing the rankings.

The ranking list records the ranking of the speed competition and the number of endless trials.

I subconsciously clicked on the speed ranking, and then I saw that the guy ranked first actually took less than six seconds!
