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

"Huh? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I'm just curious. Today, everyone on the college internet is discussing the inexplicable changes in the college today. I see that many people are pointing the finger at you, so I'm a little curious."

"Even you saw it?" I held my forehead slightly, feeling a little helpless.

"Well, I'm not a primitive man. I can use a mobile phone. As for this matter... Sister Xiaohan, you should be okay, right?"

"Of course I'm fine. Let's not talk about me. Yu Yetian, what have you been doing recently? I feel like I don't know much about what you usually do."

"Me? Of course I go to class when I have classes, and go to the library to read books when I don't have classes. I know too little about the supernatural world and supernatural powers. I need to understand a lot of common sense on my own. The supernatural common sense theory popular science courses are too general. There's nothing I can do about it."

"I didn't expect you to be so hardworking?"

"It's not bad. Students who can enter the Witch Academy are basically capable and naturally know what they need. And... Sister Xiaohan, you may have underestimated the influence of freshmen like you. Not only you, but also Tan Han and others have greatly stimulated many people to go crazy."

"Everything is involuted... OK, OK."

I smiled and shook my head. I was just about to relax, but others started to get introverted. I hope they don't get into any problems.

While Yu Yetian and I were having an awkward chat downstairs, there was some movement upstairs.

"Who's back? Hong Chenyi? My fan... um? Xiaohan... sister?"

"Hi~ Dongli Yiren, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you?" I raised my head and looked at Dongli Yiren with a smile. It turned out that the person Xiao Niuma was referring to when he said "in the bedroom" was Dongli Yiren.

At this moment, Dongli Yiren was wearing loose pajamas and holding a pen in her hand, but after seeing me, she seemed to have thought of something and ran back to the room.

"What's going on with her?" I turned and asked Yu Yetian who was standing beside me.

"I'm not sure. Dongli Yiren has been working very hard these days. She even raised some plants and flowers on the rooftop. I heard her say that you guided her..."

"Oh~"

I nodded. It seems that Dongli Yiren has changed a lot. After recognizing the current situation, she has burst out with such motivation.

Not long after, Dongli Yiren came out of the bedroom again, but with several notebooks in her hands.

"Um... Sister Xiaohan, um... I wrote everything down in this notebook, I'm giving it back to you..."

"You can keep it. You don't have to return it anyway, so just keep it as a souvenir." I waved my hand and said, this thing will just gather dust in my hands anyway.

"What's going on with you?"

"Well, it's like this..."

"I figured out what I wanted to do, so Sister Xiaohan borrowed the notebooks for me." Dongli Yiren took the lead in explaining for Yu Yetian, "Well, in that case, I'll put these notebooks away first."

"Well, it's up to you." I nodded. Seeing Dong Li Yiren taking it so seriously, it seemed that these notebooks were a great inspiration to Dong Li Yiren.

"By the way, Dongli Yiren, I'm just asking if you'd like to work part-time in a plantation... maybe you can get in touch with a lot of rare and extraordinary plants."

"Plantation?"

Faced with my sudden question, Dongli Yiren quickly grasped the core keywords.

"Yes, there is a place in the Witch Academy that specializes in cultivating extraordinary plants. It is very large and difficult to take care of. There are always places where magic cannot reach its capabilities. There..."

"I understand. I'll go take a look when I have time." It was obvious that Dongli Yiren had her own plans at this moment.

Seeing her like this, I didn't make a decision for her on my own. Fortunately, I didn't tell Sophie that I wanted to recommend Dongli Yiren to go over.

But at this moment, compared to these trivial matters, they were more interested in my sudden return and the big fuss I made today.

I also briefly told them about what happened in the secret realm. Of course, I skipped over the things that couldn't be said. They listened to it with great interest, and were especially curious about the Yumeng race. This was a new type of intelligent being they had seen besides humans.

As for other races in other academies, I now vaguely discovered that they did not care about this racial change. They still considered themselves human, but their extraordinary powers allowed them to appear in front of others in a different posture.

This kind of thought or idea may be a concept that has been instilled in them since birth. They may think that everything is reasonable, but I feel it is awkward, especially for an academy like the Lesser Demons.

There are many such colleges, and even such colleges can find a large number of students, which is very telling.

"Then what? What about those foolish dreams? The secret realm has collapsed. Don't they have nowhere to go?"

"Yes... Sister Xiaohan, you are not doing anything wrong. Does the explosion in the secret realm really have anything to do with you?"

"Wait... Hong Chenyi? When did you come back?" At this moment, Dongli Yiren also noticed that there was another person here, "Didn't you bring me food?"

"Yes, I brought it. I must have brought it. The hungry girl in the dormitory is still waiting for me to feed her. How could I not bring it?" Hong Chenyi stretched out his hand and took out the bag that had been packed.

"That's good enough." Dongli Yiren took the lunch box and then sat quietly waiting for my response.

"Sister Xiaohan, you haven't told me what to do with those stupid dreams yet?"

"Just let it sit for a while. But I do know some inside information." I said.

"What's the secret?"

"Those foolish dreams may appear in the Witch Academy in a different form. I heard that the dean personally reshaped their bodies. Maybe we can see them in the academy then."

"Really? I'm already looking forward to it!"

"By the way, Sister Xiaohan, since you have returned from the secret realm, why don't you show up in the group to prove that you are back? After all, Sister Xiaohan, you are the nominal monitor of our Class 14!"

"This... shouldn't be necessary." I looked at Hong Chenyi. Although I said that, I subconsciously opened my phone. At this moment, the class group and mutual aid group on my phone could no longer be described as exploding. In fact, it would be a bit conservative to say so.

"Sister Xiaohan, if you don't want to cause too much trouble, then leave it to me. Can I tell the class group about your situation? I think the class will be very interested in this matter."

"I don't care. Just don't exaggerate or say anything too outrageous." I waved my hands. I naturally wouldn't care too much about someone like Hong Chenyi who likes gossip and chatting in the group. Even if she took a photo of me at the beginning of the school year, I didn't care. I just regarded it as a way to help the class get to know me better.

But when it comes to understanding each other in the class, they are always trying to get to know me, but I never seem to have taken the initiative to get to know them.

As time went by, the heat that was circulating on the academy's website slowly died down, and no one waited for the announcement of the person responsible for the collapse of the Witch Secret Realm.

In the end, they only received a notice that Dean May Lind had successfully created the Great Spell Book, but unfortunately, this notice did not cause much stir. After all, a considerable number of people in the Witch Academy did not know what the Great Spell Book represented, and they did not even know that such a thing existed. The seniors who knew a little about it also knew very well that they were not qualified to obtain such a Great Spell Book.

And I also completely relaxed for a while during these few days. Of course, it didn’t mean I just lay down and did nothing. Instead, I began to carefully plan my future study life.

Now that I have calmed down and thought carefully, I really have a lot of things to do. Not to mention the matter with the dean, just organizing and understanding the various new spell books will take a lot of time. Even though I don't plan to continue to work on the spell books at this stage, it doesn't mean that I don't need to understand my own methods.

Sometimes, understanding yourself is more important than understanding anything else. The second thing is to make use of the prizes of this exchange contest, such as the opportunity to customize alchemical items. However, I haven’t thought about this yet, so I plan to save it for now. Anyway, there is no time limit for this.

Secondly, Manager Xia Li, I haven’t asked the manager to fulfill the promise of a small treasury before the exchange competition.

However, I have already contacted the store manager by phone, and she said that she would not go back on her word. As long as I want, she will open her little treasury to me immediately.

Finally, I had originally planned to master a skill, which was alchemy. I even deliberately studied the runes of the alchemy-related alchemy rituals. However, when I saw how powerful Sister Bai's physical skills were in the secret realm of Yu Village, I also wanted to try to practice physical skills.

But my energy is limited, so I plan to continue learning alchemy as planned, and even when the time comes to cash in the stuff with the store manager, I plan to exchange it for something related to alchemy.

As for the magic source for spell books, it is not an urgent need. Moreover, right now, I already have so many spell books that I can’t use them all. Having more will just be icing on the cake to enrich my foundation.

If I want to enrich my knowledge, I also have other plans, that is, a plan to collect small spell books.

Although the effect and power of the small spell book are much inferior to those of the general spell book, it has a very good effect and is suitable for all aspects of life, such as... illumination, fire, invisible hand, etc.

Just as I was excitedly planning my future study life, a phone call came in.

"Hey, Teacher Ji Niang, what can I do for you?"

"Something's wrong. It's something important. Come to me quickly. The dean wants to see you. I'll take you there."

Chapter 284 Meeting the Dean

"OK, all right."

After hanging up the phone, the previous leisure in my eyes disappeared. I packed up my things and planned to sneak out of here.

"Xiao Han, what's wrong?" Bai Yu asked at the side.

"I have to leave. The dean is looking for me." I sighed, looked at the extraordinary instructor who was explaining alchemy knowledge to us in front, and then looked at Sister Bai, feeling a little helpless.

What I am attending now is not an ordinary course, but a lecture given by the Extraordinary Witch.

I know very well that I can't learn anything by myself, especially alchemy, so I came here accompanied by Sister Bai.

Because this is not a class scheduled by the academy, there is a threshold to come here to listen to the lectures, and the threshold is naturally the fee. The cheap courses start at red copper, and the expensive ones start directly at arcane gold.

The proceeds will go directly into the pocket of the extraordinary witch who gives the lecture.

This also means that extraordinary materials such as Arcanite still have very high value even if they reach the level of extraordinary witches.

"Then let's go quickly. I'll write down the following content for you and give you a copy of the notes when the time comes." Sister Bai didn't care about anything, but was a little surprised that Xiao Han would be valued so much by the dean that he would go there in person.

"Thank you, Sister Bai. I'll be leaving now. By the way...if the content you talked about is about the alchemy ceremony...please help me record it. I'm very interested in this aspect."

"Yeah." Bai Yu nodded without refusing.

My departure did not attract anyone's attention, and the same was true for the teacher who gave the lecture before me. Leaving early is irresponsible to yourself, and the fees paid will not be refunded.

After leaving here, I took out the broom and went straight to Teacher Ji Niang's office.

Likewise, I was a little nervous. After all, the person I was going to meet later was the real dean, and the one I met before was just a clone of the dean. I hoped that the dean himself would be as amiable as the clone.

"Xiao Han, you are finally here. You have been dawdling for so long." Pushing open the door of teacher Ji Niang's office, Ji Niang started to scold me.

It seems that even Teacher Ji Niang has many concerns when facing the dean.

"Um... Teacher, I was giving a lecture on alchemy just now. As soon as you called me, I rushed over immediately. I lost several gold coins."

"Alchemy? Why are you learning alchemy again?"

"Well... mastering one more skill wouldn't be a bad thing... right?"

"It's up to you. If you are interested in alchemy, you can learn it. You can learn whatever you want in the Witch Academy. No one will stop you. Just don't bite off more than you can chew." Teacher Ji Niang waved her hand and stood up to take me away immediately.

However, she did not take out the flying broom, but directly grabbed me. The next moment, the world was spinning in front of my eyes, and I felt as if I was floating and unable to stand steadily. It was not until the next moment when I felt my feet on solid ground that I felt a little relieved.

"This...is this space teleportation?!" I was a little surprised at this moment. With this method, who would need a flying broom?

"It's just a means of transport. Space is synonymous with fragility. There are too many ways to break through space. Even powers or skills without spatial attributes can easily do this. So don't be too surprised. Follow me."

"Oh... okay." I followed Teacher Ji Niang closely, but my eyes were constantly looking around here.

This is the most distinctive walkway I have ever seen in the Witch Academy, with retro patterns and decorative reliefs of unknown plants, which has a strong flavor of the old times.

The end of the corridor is the hall. Even before I got there, I saw the most conspicuous huge stone sculpture in the center. The stone statue holds a long staff in his hand, as if gently pointing it, and the action is frozen here. Judging from the smart and floating skirt and the exquisitely carved face, it is no surprise that it is Dean May Lind.

"I'm bringing you to the office of Dean Mei Lind. You should have met the dean before, right?" Ji Niang suddenly asked.

"Well... barely? I've only seen the dean's clone." I explained.

"Really? Since she's a clone, she should have communicated with you, right? What did the dean say to you?"

"Um... well, does the dean allow me to say this?"

"It's nothing more than a matter about the Great Spell Book. This kind of thing is naturally not a secret among us teachers. You can speak out boldly. You should have helped the dean solve some kind of problem. Otherwise, the dean would not deliberately let a student come to see her."

"Uh... it seems about the same..."

"That's good enough." Ji Niang was slightly relieved after hearing this answer, but she didn't show it. "By the way, if you have two choices in front of you, one is a reward you can't refuse, and the other is to help you get out of the script, which one would you choose?"

“Off script,” I said without hesitation.

"Okay! Just do this when the time comes." Ji Niang nodded with relief, feeling that her efforts were not in vain.

"Um...but the dean has already promised to help me break away from the script...should..." Although this requires me to pay the price of accepting the trial mission.

"What! Just agreed?"

Even Teacher Ji Niang was a little surprised to hear this answer, but she soon realized that the meeting requested by the dean this time and the fact that it was out of script were no longer the main point...

At this moment, Teacher Ji Niang and I walked to the last hall and stood under the huge stone statue. It seemed as if an inexplicable power cleansed my soul.

There was no corridor leading anywhere, only a tall bookshelf on one side of the hall, along with the floor and ceiling, filled with densely packed books. The books here seemed to have some kind of extraordinary energy looming inside, and some of the books gave me an extreme sense of danger.

It seems that the books here cannot be browsed casually.

"Um, Teacher Ji Niang, where should we go next?" I asked curiously.

"Wait for the elevator."

"Ah? Waiting for the elevator?" In response to such a simple answer given by Teacher Ji Niang, I was looking for the elevator entrance, but I couldn't find it.

Until... a platform slowly descended from the top. I saw Teacher Ji Niang walk directly up, so I followed her up.

Is this what they call an elevator?

A platform?

I looked at Teacher Ji Niang, but she didn't seem to want to explain it to me. After all, no one stipulated that an elevator must be a rope pulling a box, right?

I looked at the platform beneath my feet. The simple and clear runes were exactly the ones I recognized. This meant that to achieve this level, only the simplest runes were needed.

The platform slowly rose and brought me to the top floor.
