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

No...after the exchange competition, there was a transfer student in our class...his name is Lucien.

That's the one from the wizard academy...

"Oh→↑↓Oh! You are Lucien!" My gaze towards Lucien suddenly changed, with some meaningful look in it.

"You! What's that look in your eyes?" Lucien felt a little frightened by my gaze, and she was already a little afraid of the person in front of her.

"Nothing... just... curious as to why you came here."

"I...can't I come?" Lucien swallowed subconsciously, looked at Bai Yu beside me, turned his head and left.

And I didn't stop her. I didn't expect to meet Lucien here. It was quite interesting. Lucien was from Class 14. She came here, most likely because of Teacher Ji Niang's reminder. At this moment, I was curious about what Teacher Ji Niang was going to do.

Teacher Ji Niang knew that the task of wisdom enlightenment was a long-term task. Did Teacher Ji Niang ask for leave for Lucien?

"Xiao Han, do you know him?" At this moment, Bai Yu came up to me and asked.

"Hmm~ Sister Bai, if you watch the exchange competition, you will be familiar with her."

"She...oh..." Bai Yu quickly responded, "Lucien...this name...Wizard Academy?"

"If you know it, there's no need to say it out loud!"

Chapter 274: Wisdom, Futility, and the Value of Meditation

Lucien's arrival had no effect on me.

As soon as she arrived here, she started to get busy, seemingly looking for a breakthrough in the secret realm of Yu Village and related tasks.

At the moment, my sister Bai and I are still practicing meditation here leisurely. When we are bored, we can go and play with Yu Meng here, which is also a good way to relax.

The skills that Yu Meng mastered as learned from previous information, such as planting, potions, etc., do exist.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many extraordinary plants here, and the mixed juice “Foolish Dream Drink”, all of which require extraordinary skills.

These are special skills that are different from those in Witch Academy, but that doesn't stop me from learning and mastering them.

I will also specially collect the seeds here, especially the fruits needed for Yumeng Drink, I have collected some.

The taste of Yumeng Drink is indeed great, and the effect is also very powerful. It temporarily increases affinity and gives oneself the "vision" to see the flow of energy clearly. It can be said that this is one of the important means of initially obtaining enlightenment.

As time went by, today, not only Lucien came here, but other guests also came to Yu Village, suddenly making this rarely visited secret place lively.

This abnormality made me wonder what was happening in the academy outside.

Could it be that the news about Yucun's secret realm has spread to the outside world again?

This was not good news for me, but after I saw the "seeds of luck" in the bodies of each of the students who came in, I felt relieved.

Well, the script begins to interfere here. Although I am a little unwilling, but since the script interferes, it means one thing, that is, the value of this place is higher than I expected.

Besides... the script is not unbeatable. I also defeated so many lucky children in the last exchange competition. What's more, this is just an internal competition within the Witch Academy?

Some of the people who came in, I didn’t know, but some looked familiar, although some of them were not the sons of luck.

But this is enough to prove one thing, that is, the Witch Academy is bolder than I expected.

Are they trying to snatch away all the lucky sons from those small academies?

Some students still have the characteristics of their original academy, and the freshmen who were transferred from the animal school are particularly obvious.

The dinner started as scheduled.

Perhaps because so many people came at once, this dinner was more sumptuous than the last time I attended.

But it’s okay, I don’t care. I even hope that they can hold it more grandly. The grander the dinner ceremony is, the more obvious the revelations will be.

At the dinner, I just sat in a quiet corner drinking Yu Meng and observing whether there were any new revelations. This time, the focus of my observation was Yu Meng itself.

Even so, I was approached by those people who came to the secret realm of Yucun this time, and they implicitly expressed their desire to cooperate.

I didn't refuse outright, but I didn't reveal any information to them either. After realizing that this was the work of the script, I gave up the idea of ​​actively telling them the information.

Of course, some basic hints will still be given.

"You should try the specialty Yumeng drink here, it tastes really good. I plan to collect some seeds of these fruits and bring them back to the college to try to grow them." I said to them with a smile, holding up the cup.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Also... take this cup of weird-tasting, hallucinogenic juice away from me."

"It's up to you. What does it have to do with me if you don't drink the juice?" I shook my head and stopped paying attention to the other person. I turned to face the person next to me and shared the Yumeng Drink.

In my opinion, they are too impatient. If they really want to obtain information, perhaps the memories compiled into stories in the village chief's house can provide a lot of useful information, but Yuhu will not mention these on her own initiative.

However, Yu Hu agreed to show me these stories. After I borrowed them, I finally understood what Yu Hu meant by "as long as I don't feel bored."

Yu Meng doesn't know any descriptive techniques, she just tells the story in a straightforward manner, and even many processes are repeated over and over again.

After just flipping through a few of them, I gave up and ended up borrowing a few books symbolically to pass the time.

I gained some new revelations from this dinner, but I still don’t know what these revelations imply. Perhaps only when I truly reach that level will I understand what they mean.

The next day, new guests came to Yucun Secret Realm. Among these guests, I finally found a familiar figure, Tan Han.

Since all the sons of destiny are gathered here, how could Tan Han, as the eldest one, be absent?

But when I met Tan Han, I just chatted with her for a few minutes and nothing else.

After all, from another perspective, every "guest" who comes in is in a competitive relationship, but before they came in, they all learned about the secret realm of Yucun and the wisdom enlightenment tasks associated with it.

I know this is a task that has been delayed for hundreds of years.

Although they may know very well that they may not be able to solve the problem, they still have to show the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger.

The arrival of Tan Han and her friends once again provided me with a fruitful dinner, and I spent the remaining time still practicing meditation.

I believe that after their efforts have failed, they will begin to pay attention to the practice of meditation, but before they realize this, they still need to suffer a little.

"Yang Yuehan, have you been in this secret realm during the time you disappeared?" Tan Han couldn't help but ask after meeting me again.

"nature."

"Are you practicing meditation?"

"Correct."

I could clearly feel that Tan Han was also facing some difficulties at the moment, so she tried to find a breakthrough with me, but she was much more restrained than before. Even when she was talking to me, she was only asking questions in a roundabout way. She would never talk to me like this before.

What I said also revealed the importance of meditation. Even if you don’t aim to complete the task, it is still worthwhile to spend a lot of time here to practice meditation.

But their impetuousness prevents them from realizing this.

With their arrival, the number of nightmare attacks on Yu Meng in Yu Village increased.

I also participated in their ceremony of Yumeng shedding her shell and returning to her ancestral land, as well as the ceremony of welcoming the birth of a new Yumeng.

In this respect, although I may appear as sad or happy as those foolish dreams, I am essentially just a ruthless recorder.

I call the revelations I get from here "revelations of life and death" because they are different from other revelations. As for their purpose... I am not sure yet.

Time passed day by day, until Sister Bai's advanced meditation technique had reached a bottleneck. At this point, the advanced meditation technique had come to an end.

"Sister Bai, what do you feel after mastering the advanced meditation technique? Or any revelations?" I asked curiously.

"Feeling... I just feel that everything seems to have come to an end. Different from the sluggish feeling after completing the elementary or advanced meditation practice, this time it's like hitting a wall all of a sudden. But after all, if this feeling can be considered an enlightenment, then advanced meditation is indeed the last step." Bai Yu described it to me truthfully at this moment.

"Is this the last step..."

This is very similar to what I predicted, because after reaching the advanced meditation, the runes are already very compact, with no room for improvement, only room for horizontal development, but at this moment, it makes no sense to expand the breadth of the mind-boosting meditation.

So something must have gone wrong. Even though I had not completed my meditation practice, my thoughts and ideas were more active, and my focus quickly shifted to the meditation spell book itself.

Is there really such a strange spell book as meditation in this world?

A spell book that can only work once and is thrown away after use does not meet the definition of a spell book. In addition, from what I have learned about the "promotion" of spell books, no matter what spell book it is, it will have completely different power or effect in the hands of people of different strength.

If I define the spell effect of the meditation spell book as improving thinking and enlightening wisdom, then this should be a spell effect, rather than a permanent improvement of oneself.

Is there anything that can be continuously improved through practice?

Of course there is, but it won’t be a spell book.

When practicing a spell book, what is improved is the spell book itself, that is, the promotion of the spell book, not the improvement of the user himself.

This concept needs to be made clear. If practicing something improves the user himself, does this really exist?

Yes... For example, I haven't had the chance to learn physical skills yet.

What is Taijutsu?

It is a fighting skill.

So either meditation is a skill, just covered by the shell of a spell book, or meditation really is a spell book, but it is missing a very important thing, something that defines it as a spell book.

A kind of thing that improves thinking and enlightens wisdom as a spell effect.

At this moment, I have already had a glimmer of understanding. Meditation is still lacking something very important. It is not something that can be done by casually changing the internal structure and runes of the spell book.

Even if I continue to practice exhaustive method until the end of my life, there will be no qualitative change.

After figuring this out, I was no longer confused. At this moment, I had only one thought in my mind, which was to practice meditation, reach its so-called end, and personally experience the enlightenment that perfection brought.

Sister Bai's description of me is ultimately someone else's description. Only after experiencing it yourself will you understand what is missing from meditation.

"Yang Yuehan..."

Just as I was about to continue with my thoughts, a voice interrupted my plan.

"Um...Lucien, what do you want to talk to me about?" I looked at the girl in front of me. Compared with the first day I met her in Yu Village, she looked a little tired and haggard at this moment.

"These days, these days! All you do is wander around and meditate here! Do you still have the awareness that you are the first among the freshmen in the exchange competition?" At this moment, her face was full of anger, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally vented in front of the right person.

"Then what should I do?" I was confused by the other party's sudden question, so I replied casually.

"That's better than you doing nothing. You've fallen, Yang Yuehan. I don't understand how I lost to you. Now I understand that you're just a guy who relies on the spell book to show off his power!"

"Please go somewhere else to vent your emotions, not here. You scared these foolish dreams. You yourself were broken down by the mission. What does it have to do with me?"

"What relationship... What relationship do you ask me? I have always regarded you as my competitor. You are so relaxed here. Do you know how bad your reputation is outside the academy? I am ashamed to lose to you."

At this moment, I was comforting Yu Meng beside me. At the same time, Lucien's behavior also attracted the attention of others.

"You keep talking about embarrassing me, as if you live for me. How can you be sure that I am not working hard? You open your mouth and deny my achievements?"

"So what did you work hard for? Practicing that meditation technique? That thing is just a waste of time, and it can't even improve your mental strength as well as the witch's meditation method."

"So, this is the gap between us. If you have a mental breakdown, you can quit, but don't get mad in front of me." I said bluntly and turned around, signaling to Sister Bai not to do anything.

In the end, Lucien seemed to be afraid of Bai Yu's murderous gaze and left.

"Do you need me to teach her a lesson?" Bai Yu asked at this moment.

"No need, just think of it as an episode in our boring life. It seems that many people have expressed their opinions on my behavior." I shook my head and glanced at those who came to watch the show deliberately.

"Then how should you respond to their confusion?" Bai Yu asked with a smile, because she knew that this kind of thing would not affect me. She was just angry that the guy spoke to Xiao Han in that tone.

"I have no obligation to explain to them the meaning of my actions. There are always some people who think that strength can solve all problems. If you hold this idea, why didn't you join the animal hospital in the first place?"

After this outburst, Lucien seemed to have calmed down.

The other people watching the show also understood my current situation. It can be said that Lucien had become their mouthpiece and asked all their questions.

But the answers they got made them even more confused. Is there really a task in this world that can be completed by just playing around and sleeping?

But they don't think the other person is a fool.

But more people still want to get information from me. They think that since I would behave like this, I must have information that they don’t know. That’s how information asymmetry works. Both sides look at each other as if they were fools.

But there is always only one fool.

After Lucien vented her feelings and calmed down, she realized that she seemed to be used by others. Thinking back to the people who had come into contact with her before, how they had provoked her emotions, targeted her, and finally took advantage of her, this feeling of powerlessness did make her feel even more uncomfortable.

But she did not regret being a gun, because she really wanted to shout out this grievance.

She was not called here by Teacher Ji Niang, but was tricked by those guys who were also abducted to the Witch Academy.

She learned that Yang Yuehan, the number one in the Witch Academy, gave up the theoretical monthly exam to complete this task and the secret realm. Since this secret realm is so important, the desire to get a piece of it is the primary motivation for most people to come here.

But after wasting so many days coming here, they also realized their mistakes. This place is completely different from what they expected. Coupled with the contrast between their own efforts and Yang Yuehan's current state, Lucien was pushed out.

Lucien was very self-aware. It was the same thing in the wizard academy, and she was being used here as well. She knew very well that she could not beat those guys, and she also knew that this was not a secret place that could be conquered by just relying on strength. After all, even the spell book had been borrowed and exchanged at this moment, so... she was ready to leave here. She felt that wasting time here was the biggest mistake she had made.

But not long after seeing off Lucien, I welcomed another guest.

Tan Han.
