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

"Back to the spell book you mentioned, I didn't expect that you would discover this thing in the spell book so quickly after learning about runes. Logically speaking, even the extraordinary witch doesn't know much about this thing."

"Then teacher, you..."

"I am a theoretical witch, so I naturally know." When Ji Niang said this, there was an indescribable confidence in her tone.

"In short, if I were to describe this thing to you, the abstract expression would be the seed of a spell book."

"seed?"

"Yes, I said this because it is easier for you to understand. What do you think, taking Fireball as an example, when you become very powerful, do you think the Fireball spell is useless?" Teacher Ji Niang asked.

"Well... a little bit. It has an upper limit. Any more energy will destroy the Fireball spellbook." I answered truthfully, and Ji Niang was very satisfied with this answer.

"But in fact, it is not. The process of a witch preparing to become an extraordinary witch is called witch promotion. It is an improvement to another level, a qualitative change. The same is true for spell books. This thing is the key to spell book promotion."

"Spell book promotion!" I was shocked to accept such a concept. Spell book... can be promoted?

"Yes, the spell book is like a seed, and you have the power to make it sprout."

"But even if I have the clairvoyance of the Floating World level, I can't make it advance... Is it so difficult to advance?" I asked again.

"You're half right. It's really difficult to get promoted. Also, you really can't get it promoted because the spell book is not yours, and the source of magic power is not yours. You don't have the spell book, and you don't have the power. How can you get it promoted? Getting something for nothing? Even if it's in your body, it... is not yours after all." Teacher Ji Niang said, then stretched out her hand and moved towards my chest.

I also tried to block it, but Teacher Ji Niang did not grab me with her hand. However, I felt something leaving me. It was an unknown force that drove my spell book to leave my body.

"Did you see it?" Ji Niang picked up a spell book in her hand, which was my fireball spell book!

"It doesn't belong to you, and you have never truly owned it. This situation will continue until you become an extraordinary witch. At that time, your spell book will undergo a transformation. Only that kind of spell book will be a real spell book. Only then will you be qualified to own a spell book and a source of magic power, instead of like you are now." Teacher Ji Niang said as she stuffed the spell book back and even placed it on its original location on my spell bookshelf.

At the moment, I was so shocked that I lost my mind...I still haven't recovered from it.

It turns out that from the beginning of school till now, I have never had...

Just now... Teacher Ji Niang... took away my spell book so easily.

This is the first time I have felt so clearly how easy it is to lose something that is not yours!

Chapter 263 The Importance of Wisdom and Enlightenment

"It's time to come back to your senses. I won't tell you too much. To put it roughly, it's like playing a game to practice your skill proficiency."

"Now... you should understand the value of spell books at this moment, right? Compared to ordinary spells, spell books are a more systematic form of finished product for spell advancement."

"I...I understand..." I nodded heavily.

"Don't think too much. Those are things you can't access now, okay? You understand that it's not good to know too much, right? The spell book has many other values, but now... I won't reveal them to you anymore." Teacher Ji Niang shook her head and returned to her chair.

Although she had just lectured Xiao Han, Ji Niang still felt that it was not enough, but she was also pleased that the other party had grown so fast.

Is this the guy who is blessed by God? I really can't envy him.

"Well... I won't bother the teacher anymore..."

After getting the answer I wanted, I had no reason to stay any longer. I originally thought I had discovered something good, but now it seems to be just something that I can't use at this stage.

Apart from bringing me new knowledge, it did not bring me any improvement. This sense of gap is actually quite big.

But it would not be wrong to say that I have gained nothing. From the beginning of school until now, I have not truly mastered extraordinary powers. Confirming this, I understand even more the importance of the knowledge and skills in the academy at this moment.

Perhaps this truth is dispensable to other people. If they feel that it is not theirs now, they will become theirs once they become an extraordinary witch. It will be theirs sooner or later.

Therefore, they want to accumulate foundation for themselves at this stage, and at the moment of becoming extraordinary witches, they want to master the power that truly belongs to them and be completely reborn.

But in fact, at that time, both the spell book and the source of magic power had just changed from tools to one's own means.

And accumulating skills means making the means you have mastered possible for creation.

Although at this moment, I still have many curious points and other questions about many details before and after the spell book promotion, but as Teacher Ji Niang said just now, knowing too much is really stressful. It is just like knowing how many days are left before the college entrance examination in elementary school. It is meaningless.

Of course, the most important thing is that I don’t have the real power.

If you hold true power...

I remembered the fruit of life that I had snatched in the dream exchange competition, that panacea-like good thing.

I remember someone mentioned that this thing can also enhance natural power. So if I eat it, can I control the natural power like an elf?

But I'm not an elf, so maybe it's not possible... Their natural power relies on their elven blood, and I'm essentially a witch.

"Are you leaving? What are your plans after this?"

Just as I turned around and was about to leave, Teacher Ji Niang called me again.

"Um... I plan to remain quiet for a while. I plan to master a skill first." I gave an answer after thinking for a while.

After all, I don't have many things that truly belong to me now. Although I have started to accumulate spell books, this kind of thing is a one-size-fits-all approach. After hitting a wall with the fireball spell, I knew I should stop for a while. As for when to stop, it will naturally be until I become a witch and my mental strength can control magic power. That time will be the golden period for developing spell books to obtain more powerful means.

Now, while I still have a lot of capital, that is, aojin, I should master a skill to ensure that I can make money in the future.

This behavior is somewhat similar to when I first found a part-time job at a bakery, learning a skill to make money. This is my simplest idea in the face of the unknown life ahead. It really does not forget my original intention...

"Be silent for another while? Are you addicted?" Teacher Ji Niang complained.

"It's okay, I found that I quite like a simple life." Of course, I know that I don't really like a simple life, but I want to break my previous instinct of being impatient about everything and to wear away the trauma caused by my past life.

"Is it true? Why don't I believe it? At the beginning, you...well, that's not what you said at that time."

"Teacher Ji Niang, do you have anything for me to do? If so, just tell me directly. Teacher Ji Niang, didn't you say you were leaving soon? Why are you talking to me for so long?" I saw that Teacher Ji Niang talked to me so much, so I was afraid that she had something to talk to me about.

"I've been talking to you for so long because of you, and now you're complaining. But I do have something for you to do."

"Really?"

"Am I kidding you? You should be happy that you have a responsible teacher like me. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get down to business. Open the academy system on your phone, search for the keyword 'wisdom enlightenment', and then classify the tasks."

"Wisdom enlightenment?"

I asked out of curiosity, but still did it. Just as Teacher Ji Niang said, after searching, such a task really appeared in the task column.

"This mission...wait, how long has this mission been pending? Tens or hundreds...hundreds of years? Huh?"

I looked at the task and then at Teacher Ji Niang in disbelief, and for a moment I didn't know who had the problem.

"This quest was released during a time when the Witch Secret Realm was popular. This secret realm was one of the few that was not provided by graduated students, but by one of the deans who originally founded the Witch Academy. This action caused a wave of enthusiasm to complete this secret realm at the time."

"But it hasn't been cracked yet?" I asked.

"Yes, that's why there is this task. This task is bound to this special secret realm. At that time, the popularity of this secret realm came and went quickly because the dean released an impossible secret realm from the beginning. Because this secret realm does not have any substantial rewards, the trials in it are the most important. The dean's original intention was good... Alas..."

"So, Teacher Ji Niang, you found this task for me because you saw that I had nothing to do?"

"Don't you want to be quiet for a while? This secret trial realm requires quite a while and is very suitable for you. I was originally hesitant, but now you can go and take a look if you are free. If you don't have time, just pretend I didn't say anything." Teacher Ji Niang shook her head and said.

"Oh, it's not mandatory?"

"of course."

"Okay, I'll go take a look when I'm free. Anyway, thank you for your advice, teacher." I silently took note of this matter, but before that, I still wanted to master a skill first, such as...alchemy.

I had paid attention to it when I was reading about runes in the library. The most important alchemical ritual in alchemy is a means composed of different rune rituals. Although runes only occupy the basic part in alchemy, I undoubtedly have a considerable advantage as I know almost all the basic runes.

Moreover, alchemy is also a skill to train mental strength. It is impossible for my mental strength to be improved through meditation all the time without actual practice. It requires the ability to control magic power. Before that, there is no problem in controlling alchemy.

What's more, I still have some common sense memory instilled from the previous geomantic memories, and they are recorded in detail in my memory bookshelf. In addition, the professional instruments used by basic alchemy apprentices that I ordered in advance from the library will almost arrive today.

"Let's go, this is none of your business."

Ji Niang looked at my leaving back and finally sighed. The Secret Realm of the Witch of Wisdom and Enlightenment was a good place. She had even been there when she was studying at the Witch Academy. Unfortunately, she was about to graduate at that time, but the benefits she gained from it were enough to benefit her until now.

It even became one of the reasons why she wanted to get a glimpse into the field of creation of the Great Spell Book.

Some things can only be understood after reaching a certain level, and that is when the education loop is closed. Unfortunately, she did not meet a very good teacher at that time, but this did not prevent her from becoming such a teacher.

Wisdom enlightenment is really crucial, the sooner the better. If the secret realm could be popularized throughout the school, the deans would really want to make this compulsory education for all students.

But many people don't see the importance of this kind of thing.

Potions, magic potions...even many spell effects, those that enhance wisdom and spirit can see results faster, but these are all caused by external forces, not achieved by one's own efforts.

This is an essential difference.

"Haha, why think so much? You can't force this kind of thing." Ji Niang said to herself self-deprecatingly, but she had no plans to go back. What a joke, does an extraordinary witch have to go back to eat and sleep?

There is no need for that. Even eating is just a desire to satisfy the appetite. The extraordinary witch has already become an extraordinary existence. This is not only powerful in strength, but also a leap in the level of life.

She still has a lot of important things to do. The plan for the Great Spell Book has been put on the agenda. She needs a lot of preliminary preparation, and even has to leave the main world and go to the Great Library of the Witch World to personally look for what she needs.

Oh... and, even though Ji Niang, who created the Great Spell Book, has been prepared for a 99.99% chance of failure, she will take the best insurance for that 0.01% and sign a contract with the original witch who guards the Great Library of the Witch World.

At this moment, I also returned to my villa safely.

"Sister Xiaohan, you are finally back. Why are you back later than usual today? I signed for a package for you. It was covered with warnings to handle with care. I didn't dare to touch it..." Hong Chenyi spoke directly to me when he saw me coming back.

"Have you arrived yet? Thank you, where is the stuff?" I asked.

"It was right there at the door. I didn't dare to move. Was there some kind of glass inside? There was a crashing sound when I took it."

"That's about right. Thank you anyway."

I gently lifted the big box, which was filled with various instruments. The so-called glass was probably test tubes, bottles and the like. After all, alchemy involves a lot of things, and even scientific experiments require so many instruments. The same must be true for alchemy, an extraordinary level of research.

"You're still thanking me? By the way, Sister Xiaohan, you've become so low-key recently. You've changed your face and it's like you've disappeared from the Witch Academy. I can't even see any clips of you on short videos anymore."

Hong Chenyi glanced at me. They were extremely puzzled by the white hair. However, they could still see that their sister Xiaohan seemed to have changed a little from before. Maybe she had become more curlier?

"Isn't this a bad thing? When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. I came to the Witch Academy to learn extraordinary knowledge, not to become famous."

"Sister Xiaohan, you are right. Alas... it's a pity that what we are learning now is too boring."

"The more boring it is, the more you need to calm down..."

"Okay, okay, I won't drink the chicken soup. By the way, Sister Xiaohan, are you really planning to take me to the secret realm?"

"Sorry, I've been busy with my own things and forgot about you, but I may be busy again recently." I sighed and could only say sorry. Originally, I was thinking about whether to take Hong Chenyi to the Secret Realm of Wisdom Enlightenment, but I recalled that Teacher Ji Niang said that this is a long-term secret realm, and Hong Chenyi may not be able to enjoy it.

"By the way, aren't you accompanied by Shi Huiyu? She's pretty strong, right? Ask her if she's willing to take you to a secret realm. I found a pretty good secret realm today that can provide you with a stable source of magic power."

"Stable source of magic power! Is this true?" Hong Chenyi jumped up from the sofa when he heard this.

"Yes, but the entrance fee costs one Arcane gold. You have to figure it out yourself."

"O...O'Gold?" Hong Chenyi suddenly wilted when she heard this. She had deliberately learned about these extraordinary materials and also understood how expensive one piece of O'Gold was.

"I... Well, at worst I can just sign a promissory note with Shi Huiyu. It's always hard to get started, and I'll pay you back later..."

"IOU? You want to borrow from Shi Huiyu? Be careful that you may not be able to pay it back and get yourself into trouble~" I shook my head and advised Hong Chenyi.

"It's okay if I have to pay for it. At worst, I can pay it back with my own money. If she doesn't want to lend it to me, she wouldn't have lent it to me in the first place. Don't I understand her?"

"Eh~ I didn't expect you to be this kind of Hong Chenyi." I pretended to be disgusted and said, "Well... it's up to you. If you don't bother me, I'll be more at peace."

"Hey! Wait! Sister Xiaohan! You haven't told me which secret place you are talking about!"

"In the Secret Realm of Trial Zero, you can obtain a maximum of five Mana Sources per week. But in my opinion, you probably can't get enough. Shi Huiyu may be able to do it, but you may not."

"I'm not that weak, am I? I've also taken some serious practical training classes..."

"Anyway, if you want to go, you should learn about it in advance. There are so many witch secret realms, there will always be one that suits you, and many of the ones with low thresholds are also suitable for you, but they may not necessarily give you good things."

After briefly explaining to Hong Chenyi, I took all these things back to my bedroom.

In fact, the villa is quite large. After all, it has three floors, and there are still many places that we have not yet utilized, such as the laboratories on the first floor that are deliberately divided for students who master professional memory.

However, this cannot be compared with the professional and paid alchemy room in the college.

But it is very suitable for a novice alchemy apprentice like me.

As an apprentice, the alchemical experiments I came into contact with can't possibly blow up the villa, right?

How dangerous is that?

If we can blow up the villa, then this is a big deal. This is not a failure, this is a success!

Even a fireball may not be enough to destroy the villa.

Just upgrade it to a conventional means of combat power, turning it into a powerful attack without the need for a spellcasting prelude, okay?

Just as I was tidying up and wiping these utensils, a phone call suddenly came.

"Hey? It's Sister Bai." I picked up the phone and answered it without hesitation. "Hello~ Sister Bai, why are you calling me so late at night? Aren't you supposed to be very busy recently?"

"Well... my project has come to an end for now. Now, I have plenty of time..."

"Hey? The project is completed? Then Sister Bai, are you going to become an extraordinary witch?" I asked excitedly.
