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

"Thank you... but... why? If luck can be transferred so easily... why does the academy go to so much trouble..."

"Do you think it's simple? It's not simple." At this moment, May Lind half squatted down, her hand on the iron collar on my neck, and with a click, she took it off. "It's not simple. First of all, I think you should have seen that there is some kind of ritual on it, a ritual that can interfere with your luck. Only by presenting the dormant luck in you in another way can we proceed with the next plan."

"Then... you don't have a luck seed. Although luck is yours and others can't take it away directly, without a luck seed, the thread of luck in your body is like a rootless duckweed. There will always be a way to pick it up and transfer it to someone else. The script does not value the transfer of luck. It only values ​​people who have a luck seed."

"And... I went through so much trouble, so even in a dream, is it going to be easy?"

"You don't think that the audience at that time was just a false existence in a dream, right? Those were the consciousness of real people in their dreams. I pulled them in and made them a part of this luck transfer ceremony."

"So...those are real people?!"

I was shocked when I heard the Dean's words. I recalled how embarrassed I was during the battle just now. I was hysterical and like a madman... It was so embarrassing...

"What? Don't worry about it. Those people won't remember the specific content of their dreams when they wake up. They will only remember the vague images. Don't worry about that."

"Is that so? It's okay, it's okay..." I felt relieved after hearing the dean's words, but before I could completely relax, I was surprised by the dean's next words.

"And they will be forced to enter the script carrying those nightmares and their luck. Then, the next event in the script will happen, which is the nightmare event. It is not just the Witch Academy, but also the other academies. The children of luck will discover the abnormality, investigate the truth, solve the problem, and gain luck. At this point, the nightmare event ends, the luck is distributed, and the script enters the next stage. What do you think?"

"This...are there other colleges?"

"We should give them some benefits, right? It's just an exchange of interests. I will sell those lucks for a good price. After the complete defeat in this exchange competition, they are like ants on a hot pot. No matter how high our asking price is, they will agree."

"Is... is that so?" I nodded and said nothing more. As expected, in the eyes of the dean, luck is just a resource that can be exchanged?

"Well, it's time to go back. You've worked hard today. Oh, by the way, if you don't want to complicate things further, just stay out of the nightmare-related matters."

Chapter 288: An Attempt at Alchemy

"But this time the nightmare affects so many people...is it really a good thing?"

"What are you worried about? Those lazy people who are still sleeping at this time of day? Nightmare will only teach them some lessons in the dream, letting them know that they may face retribution for doing nothing but eating, drinking and sleeping in the Witch Academy."

The dean's words immediately dispelled my sympathy for those innocent people. If I say that they were sleeping at this time... it really doesn't make sense.

However... although what the dean said sounds reasonable, it also proves what a cannon fodder who has no right to know the truth may face after being involved in the script.

This is a tool that has no right to choose and can be manipulated by others. That is why Sister Bai hoped that I would not get involved...

"Well... there is one last thing. I have watched the battle just now. Maybe you can try to practice Taijutsu. Taijutsu is not just about improving physical fitness and learning combat skills. It may have other uses. Of course, if you feel that you are too busy, I will not force you to practice Taijutsu."

Finally, with the help of the dean, I exited the dream and my consciousness returned to my body. I lay in the dream cabin, feeling weak all over, mentally weak.

However, this also solved a problem, that is, that great fortune had left me.

In this way, I shouldn't be troubled by anyone for no reason.

Thinking back to the various inexplicable discussions about me on the college’s internet, although it seems that there are reasons for them, we cannot rule out the interference of luck.

After closing my eyes and thinking for a while, I picked up my phone to check the current situation on the college website.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but it feels like there are less than one or two topics related to me on the college website in half a day.

Of course, it may also be because I have been too obscure recently. Witch Academy has never lacked other fun things to do. Do you really think those news clubs are just for show?

But the dean’s words still echoed in my mind.

"What about physical skills... I'll find a chance to ask Sister Bai and see what magical effects physical skills have..." I shook my head and gave up the idea of ​​trying physical skills right away.

Learning too many things will only result in half the effort and twice the results. It is enough to just understand some things and have a general plan in mind.

Just like the two main things I am learning now are alchemy and runes.

Needless to say, runes are the most fundamental thing in supernatural rituals. No matter whether you understand them or not, if you have utilized supernatural powers, you must have used some kind of ritual. Any ritual can be broken down into runes or be the runes themselves.

Even if it is a small spellbook without rune rituals, guess what is inside the spellbook that makes up it? It is also runes.

What about simple minor spells? Such minor spells have another name, which is a trick. It is not even a magic spell, so it is called a minor spell for the sake of sound.

As for alchemy, I studied alchemy as a way to consolidate and practice runes, and there is a kind of alchemy called "energy alchemy". The way such alchemists use energy is no less than that of energy-shaping mages.

I have hit a threshold with the spell book at this moment. It is not something I can reach at my current stage. Relying on the ability of clairvoyance, I have barely grasped the techniques of magic modification. This is already a shortcut. To use one word to describe it, it is probably equivalent to a unorthodox path?

Trying too hard on shortcuts is not the right way. It’s not that you can’t take them, but you can’t take them as the main path.

The so-called trial and error method that I had been working so hard on seemed like a complete mess after I mastered real editing.

This is what I realized after the dean gave me an experience of a real editor's perspective.

Many things have not reached the corresponding stage, and if you want to achieve that thing, you need to put in more effort. Instead of coveting the momentary beauty from high in the sky, it is better to spend your time on laying a more solid foundation.

Moreover, supernatural powers are essentially the same, just expressed differently. Energy refining and energy shaping spells are probably like this. The skills are mutually beneficial, and only by seeing more things can you have more inspiration.

Moreover, isn't the ultimate goal of biological alchemy also to create life?

This coincides with my desire to give life to foolish dreams.

Looking at it this way, ten years in college seems to be far from enough. Even a true genius cannot fulfill my current ambitions. There are so many things I want. Just saying this idea may cause others to laugh at me and say that I am overestimating my own abilities. Even I think so myself.

But even so, shouldn't I try my best?

No, I will just work harder. My rest period should be over, and the turmoil on the college internet seems to have passed. It’s time to get involved.

I remembered the group of senior students who were studying runes that I met in the library before, and the one who wanted to enter the field of alchemy. This seems to be the only alchemy circle I have come into contact with so far.

It is not a good idea to do anything behind closed doors. Communicating with others can promote growth and progress, and a good learning atmosphere is also very important.

It just so happens that when the time comes, I will study runes with Sister Bai, and study alchemy with those senior sisters.

I can see that Sister Bai is not interested in alchemy. Naturally, I can't shamelessly let Sister Bai spend so much money just to accompany me. After all, no one's money comes from the wind, and the same goes for Sister Bai. Even if she is willing to spend the money for me, I don't want her to spend it.

So I sent a message to the other party tentatively, and he replied to me after a while.

I didn't expect that after so much time, the other party was still studying in the library.

Well... not everyone has a foul-level spell book like the Memory Bookshelf, so the accumulation of theory is also very important.

After the chat, I also prepared to go to the library to find her.

As for why I wanted to find her, it was naturally because I wanted to try to make friends. We were both at the beginning of alchemy, so we had common alchemy topics and could communicate with each other... Even if we couldn't become friends in the end, I could still...

Thinking of this, I slapped my forehead and said, "Yang Yuehan, ah Yang Yuehan, you haven't even started dating this friend yet, and you're already thinking that we can't be friends. You deserve it because you have no other friends except Sister Bai."

After scolding myself a lot, I put my previous thoughts into context.

Came to the library.

I found the girl in a familiar location.

"Hey? Senior, you're here. We haven't seen each other for a long time." After seeing me coming, the girl spoke to me in a low voice. After all, this is a library, and it's best not to make loud noises.

This girl is good in every way except that she likes to call everyone "senior" every time she meets them... It's hard to describe.

"I told you not to call me senior." I corrected her slightly and still sat opposite her.

"It's okay. When I meet someone who is better than me, I usually call her senior. But what have you been doing recently? You haven't even been to the library once... You haven't even posted anything in the group."

"Oh, I went to the Witch's Secret Land. There was no cell phone signal there." I explained briefly and looked at the book in his hand. "By the way, didn't you say you wanted to try alchemy? Why is it still in the theoretical stage?"

"Ah? The cost of learning alchemy is too high. I'm still saving money. Besides, I'm reading books on alchemy. Theory and practice are also practice..."

"Okay..." I was delayed because I had no money. It was really a realistic reason. "Then I should buy some alchemical tools to practice. Just reading books is useless. I bought a set of tools. Although I haven't used them many times, it's not expensive."

"Of course I have seen them. The tools are indeed not expensive. I also have a set. However, the bulk of the cost is the materials. This is a huge expense. I saw that the last few failures directly squandered my living expenses from several days of part-time work. I knew that I was probably on a path of no return."

"Ah? What did you do?" I asked curiously.

"Just...I got a potion formula and wanted to try it out."

"Ah? You're going to prepare the potion right away?"

"Yes, I plan to go the direction of alchemy, so I want to try to prepare potions first. This formula is a universal potion and there is no licensing fee for its use. If it really doesn't work out and I don't have the talent for alchemy, I will directly switch to specializing in pharmacists. I heard that pharmacists don't have as high a talent threshold as alchemists."

"It's the alchemy of medicinal stones again. It seems that there are a lot of people who are doing the alchemy of medicinal stones." I sighed.

"Of course, a medicine alchemist is a highly profitable profession. If you develop a potion formula, you can make a lot of money just from the contract authorization. In addition, the initial alchemy was also developed by preparing alchemical potions. Later, alchemy developed more and more widely, and alchemical potions were also standardized and listed as a branch of medicine alchemy."

"You know so much."

"Ah... this is nothing. I just like to look through these ideas in the library. After all, I have planned the direction of alchemy for my life, so naturally I still need to understand some of the development history of alchemy."

After communicating with the other party for a while, I also roughly understood her current situation. She is already a student with an extraordinary mentor. The reason why she continues to study here in the library is actually to make up for the knowledge.

The instructor she chose was also mainly focused on alchemy, so she said that she was on a path of no return. After all, it is quite troublesome to change instructors in the Witch Academy, especially for ordinary students.

From here we can see that there is a big difference in the way different tutors treat their students. For example, this one seems to be teaching students in a normal way. But think about the owner who owns an entire plantation... Isn't the difference visible to the naked eye?

"By the way, I've been chatting with you for so long, but I still don't know your name."

"Hmm? Oh, that's right. My name is Betty Emily. Um...just call me Betty. And...Yang Yuehan, please give me your guidance."

"Um...well...please give me your guidance." I spoke a little awkwardly. I didn't expect the other party to recognize me. Although I changed my appearance, the mobile phone information will not be modified. I can see the name by clicking on the personal information.

"We really need to work hard together. If I don't work hard, I will have to call you senior all the time~"

"Okay, okay! Stop calling me senior sister!" Sure enough, this guy called me senior sister just to laugh at me... Alas...

"Okay then. By the way, you don't usually go to class, do you?"

"I am exempt from the course."

"Oh my... Is this the treatment for geniuses? But I'm still curious about the secret realm you went to. It's rumored that you blew it up. Is that true? Has the academy not punished you yet?"

"It's not me, it was the dean who did it, and I was also affected. Rumors can kill people. Let's not talk about this anymore. I've also become interested in alchemy recently, and I want to give it a try." I don't know if it's because my identity has been revealed, but I feel like even talking to the other person has become a lot easier.

"That's great. How about...how about you come to my advisor's lab? My advisor is usually not here, so you can use the tools there for free."

"Hey? Aren't you afraid that your tutor will scold you for inviting others like this?"

"What's there to be afraid of? My advisor encourages us to have academic exchanges with others. She won't mind."

"Okay." I nodded and agreed. It was a good opportunity for me to see what was in other laboratories. Even though the laboratory prepared for me by Teacher Ji Niang already had a lot of equipment and tools, I don't know why it still felt lacking in professionalism.

However, I declined her invitation to make the alchemical potion today. Because of the arrangement made by the dean today, I no longer have any energy to do anything else, so I decided to go back and rest for a while.

But I can go with her tomorrow, she wants to replicate the potion again.

After I asked a few questions, Betty told me directly what the potion she got was called. It was a wound healing potion, a potion that was also very popular in the Witch Academy.

After all, healing spells have a high learning threshold. If the threshold is low, then the entry threshold is high. For example, the flesh and blood healing spell book I own consumes three-digit magic power every time it is used. If the injury is serious, the consumption may be more.

Therefore, this common and relatively easy-to-obtain wound healing potion is really popular, or in other words, this type of potion is very popular as long as it is not too expensive. There are also a large number of stores that accept cooperation with pharmacists in this regard, so there is no worry about sales at all.

After realizing the importance of money, I also became eager to try it out. After all, who can refuse to master a skill that can bring in a stable income?

I remember that when I first entered the Witch's Secret Realm, I also got a potion formula, right?

Although the raw materials are a little difficult to get, Sophie, as one of the recipients of the potion formula, certainly has no shortage of raw materials. What's more, she also has a plantation. It is not a hassle for her to plant the raw materials in the secret realm.

"Then I'll go back first. See you tomorrow." After saying goodbye to Betty, I was ready to leave immediately.

Of course, if I just wanted to chat with Senior Sister Betty, there is no need for me to come here deliberately. I came here mainly to find some theoretical books on alchemy to expand my knowledge base. Even though the knowledge in the memory bookshelf does not belong to me at the moment, it is still a very convenient tool to use, even more convenient than a search engine.

Another thing is to tell Sister Bai about my decision. Alas... I'm afraid that Sister Bai will be jealous or something. She obviously lets me have more contact with the outside world, and I don't know if Sister Bai will feel uncomfortable when I discuss academic knowledge with other girls.

Chapter 289 The Cat Witch is checking your mental state

"Hmm? Xiaohan, nice to meet you again. What a fate! I didn't expect to see you again in the library."

Just as I was registering the borrowed books at the front desk, a familiar voice sounded behind me.

Silently, this figure came up behind me. When I turned around, I met those cat-like vertical pupils. At that moment, the other party's amusement, as if catching prey, flashed across my mind.

The next moment, the black cat in her arms called softly at me, bringing my dazed thoughts back to reality.

"Dinah...Teacher."

I greeted her subconsciously. The full name of this extraordinary witch is Dina Langdon, and she is the real "manager" behind the witch cat cafe.

In response to my greeting, Dina chuckled and said nothing. She just thought it was interesting to meet someone familiar here.

"We only had a quick chat last time we met, and it was the same this time. I saw a lot of anxiety and impatience in your eyes. I thought I was wrong last time."

"Um..." Facing the greeting from this extraordinary witch, I didn't know how to respond. I just subconsciously looked at her and quickly looked away. The most eye-catching thing about this extraordinary witch was the pair of cat ears on her head.

It seemed to be shaking slightly as her soft voice sounded.

"Would you like to come over and sit with me? I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about. I love to guide lost children the most." As Dina spoke, her other hand gently teased the chin of the kitten in her arms.

"I... um..." I shook my head subconsciously. I always felt that when I faced such an existence, I would subconsciously enter the other party's rhythm.
