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

"I laugh at you for not being clear about the situation. The city guards of Ninglan New City are trying to capture scholars from the Extraordinary Research Base in the underground city area. Do you dare to take action?" As I spoke, I looked through the crowd and saw the figures of the Ground Patrol Team, including an old acquaintance, the old captain of the Ground Patrol Team.

It looks like Ninglan New City and the underground city area have started negotiations?

And the middle-aged man in extraordinary clothes should be an official of Ninglan New City, right? And the person in charge of the Extraordinary Research Base.

"Scholar? How can an outsider like you become a scholar at the Extraordinary Research Base..."

"I'm sorry, this lady is indeed an official scholar of our Extraordinary Research Base. Please don't be violent towards the scholars in our base!" At this moment, the person in charge of the base also came over and said. The other party naturally had an impression of me. It can be said that the hottest projects in the Extraordinary Research Base at the moment are the Nightmare Killer and the so-called primitive rune ritual of unknown use, etc. He knows that if the base loses this person, the scholars in the base will go crazy. After all, this little ancestor left not long ago, saying that he was here to relax, and some scholars in the base felt like they had lost their backbone.

"You... your underground city actually allowed an outsider to become an academic scholar of the base? But according to the regulations of Ninglan New City, this is an outsider wanted by the city lord himself. Please hand him over to us."

"You also know that's the rule of your Ninglan New City. We have the final say in the underground city." At this moment, the captain of the underground patrol team also came over and spoke toughly. After all, as the representative of the violent organization in the underground city, what's wrong with speaking harshly? Besides, this is their home ground.

Moreover, the person in front of him had taken the initiative to apply for equipment upgrades for their patrol team not long ago, so he naturally had to hold him in high esteem.

"The underground city area is also an integral part of Ninglan New City!"

"Then you can't take these two with you. If you take her away, I'm sure that nearly 30% or even more of the scholars, technicians, and apprentices of the Extraordinary Research Base will bring their latest weapons to your territory, Ninglan New City, and put your head on it."

"Do you want to try it?"

The Ninglan New City official suddenly felt weak in the face of the aggressiveness of these two people whom he could not afford to offend. After all... it was not worth it just for a wanted bounty. Even though he did not believe that what the other party said was so serious, he just thought that the other party wanted to save him.

The matter just ended like that, and the other party left in disgrace. Even the base leader and the ground patrol team who originally wanted to see them off did not continue to see them off.

"Scholar Xiaohan, you were too careless this time. Why did you come here for no reason?"

"I came to get some fresh air, only to find that the elevator here was controlled." I shrugged and looked at Sister Bai. I made the right bet just now.

"I'm so sorry, you probably didn't read the notice from our base in time. It's all those guys on the ground who are causing all the trouble. Scholar Xiaohan, let's go back to the base first. Many scholars have encountered problems with the sub-projects you assigned. If you're not here, I guess those stubborn donkeys will lose all their hair again."

"Okay, then... Sister Bai, come with me?"

After we left, a mouse with shining eyes in a dark corner quickly left.

Chapter 325: Everyone Arrives at the Underground City

“I really didn’t expect that there is such a large area under Ninglan New City.”

At this moment, in a relatively remote resettlement area in the underground city, in an extremely small house, several girls were huddled inside.

"I didn't expect what that huge glowing object was. It could actually illuminate such a large area."

"Sister Tan Han, how is it? Have those annoying city guards left?"

At this moment, Minian came to Tan Han and asked.

"Hmm...hmm?" After dispersing the summoning spell, Tan Han reacted and turned to look at the people who were concerned about him.

"They have left. It seems that this place is really as Ning Lanqiuyue said. The city lord of Ninglan New City is not capable of controlling this place." After Tan Han finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then...what should we do next?" asked Minian, who had the best relationship with Tan Han. Faced with this situation, none of the girls had any good solution.

Previously, they were thinking about gathering some intelligence in Ninglan New City, and everything would slowly get better. However, no one could have predicted that things would develop like this. The city lord immediately changed his previous attitude towards outsiders and even opened his arms to their enemy, the nightmare demon. This was undoubtedly a betrayal to them.

If they hadn't come here with the help of Ninglan Qiuyue, they would probably have been driven out of Ninglan New City. But even in their current state, it is no different from being driven out of the city.

"Yeah, what should we do next? The city guards have left, but they may not welcome us here. Besides, the place we are in now... is too crowded, right? It's almost night, are we going to spend the whole night squeezed here?"

Although it was the first time for the girls to come here, their impression of the place was extremely bad. It was hard for them to imagine spending the night here.

"That guy... seems to be the captain of the ground patrol team. He seems to have some connections with Ning Lanqiuyue. Didn't he say he would come find us after he helped us deal with those city guards? We have been waiting here for a long time."

"I'm not sure. Maybe they were arguing before. Didn't Sister Tan Han say that the other party had left? I guess he should be back soon."

"That person probably won't come, at least not in the short term." At this moment, Tan Han joined the topic and said in an affirmative tone.

"Huh? No way? The other party is lying to us?" Hetty asked while squatting in the corner.

"No, he just went to meet someone more important." Tan Han shook his head and said, "We are of no importance to him, and even without him, we know that the city guards have left. But we have to be careful here, because we don't know what attitude the people here have towards us outsiders."

"Does that mean we can go out now?"

"It's true that you can go out now. I also need to go out for a while." Tan Han nodded and said, she had said what she needed to say, and everyone present was not someone who took their own life lightly.

"Hey? Sister Tan Han, are you going to act alone?"

"Yes, I have to meet someone."

"Meet someone? Meet... Sister Xiaohan? Are you going to see Sister Xiaohan?" Minian asked and quickly realized that there were not many people here that Sister Tan Han could deliberately find to meet.

Ning Lanqiuyue is one, Ning Lanqiuyu is one, but they are not here at the moment, and the captain of the patrol team is not here, so it seems that only Sister Xiaohan is left. After all, the last time Sister Tan Han said she was going to find someone, the person she went to meet was Sister Xiaohan.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to guess it." Tan Han was a little surprised.

"Really? Sister Tan Han, you said Sister Xiaohan was missing earlier. So she has been here for a long time? Can you take me with you? Sister Xiaohan has been here for so long. I want to go to her!"

"I'm afraid not. If you're going with them, or if anyone else is going with them, there will be too many people. And I want to ask some questions there."

"Okay, I was just joking. I know I would be a burden if I went over there. Then we'll wait here for your good news, Sister Tan Han... Wait, Sister Tan Han, how did you know Sister Xiaohan was here? Did you see her?"

"Indeed, I saw it. The captain of the ground patrol team I mentioned just now was the one who greeted Xiao Han... Xiao Han's status here seems to be quite high. She even allowed the people here and the ground patrol team to directly protect her from the city guards."

Speaking of this, Tan Han recalled the scene she had just seen through visual sharing. This made her a little unbelievable, but when she thought that the other party was Xiao Han, it seemed a lot more reasonable.

"What? Sister Xiaohan has such a high status here? How did she do it? What if we..."

"Okay, don't always think about relying on others. If so many of us go there, it will only cause trouble for Xiaohan. Don't you understand?"

"I understand, I understand... I'm just saying it, just saying it... Don't take it seriously. I'm just lamenting that I'm such a loser... When I think about the bad things I said about Sister Xiaohan before, I feel like... I'm the loser."

"Okay, don't belittle yourself too much. Just face yourself squarely." After saying this, Tan Han opened the door and went out alone.

Watching Tan Han leaving, the girls looked at each other in bewilderment. They had come down too hastily this time, and many of their companions didn't even have the chance to come down, let alone those from other extraordinary academies.

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know. Let's wait until Sister Tan Han comes back."

"I have to take care of Lan Baihui. She's not doing well."

"Su Ningmu, your condition isn't very good either, don't force yourself like this."

"I was only injured by that thing, but Lan Baihui's soul was directly sucked by the nightmare. I know I can't do anything right now, so I'm trying to do what I can. You too, we can't just rely on Sister Tan Han or Sister Xiaohan. It was like this during the exchange competition, and it's still the same now that we're in this situation."

"Okay Su Ningmu, now is not the time to complain."

"I'm not complaining..."

"Well, now that Sister Xiaohan and Sister Tanhan are not here, this is truly our moment. So let's think about what we can do for the current situation with our current situation and abilities."

"Nothing can be done." Someone said this and everyone fell silent.

After all, they knew themselves very well. They were just freshmen who had just entered school. Because of the opportunities of the competition and exchange competition, they got most of the magic power sources and spell books. They learned half-baked theoretical courses in class, learned element theory, supernatural common sense and witch meditation, and also received practical training.

But what's the use of these? At least they have no effect here. They were even driven here by the city guards. They were already scared of death.

"I won't cause any more trouble for you. I'll meditate first."

"I'll meditate to pass the time."

"I have summoning skills, but I don't have the same visual sharing as Sister Tan Han to get instant information about the situation. However, I can send it out to learn about the situation outside and come back to communicate with me."

"I'm quite confident in my abilities, so I should have no problem protecting myself. I'll go out and see if there's anything going on around here."

Gradually, everyone started to move, and even those who were incapable at least made sure they would not cause trouble to others.

Underground city area, extraordinary research base.

When I arrived here, some scholars immediately surrounded me. After seeing the difficulties they encountered, I couldn't help but sigh that it was too difficult to hand these problems over to scholars who had only been exposed to runes for a few days. Even if each of them had a very deep foundation in inscriptions, it was still the same. Their thinking could not change, even for scholars.

After solving their problem, I planned to leave. After all, I was going to go back after going upstairs to get some fresh air, but I was forced to come here.

"Is Scholar Xiaohan leaving?"

"Yes, I am used to going to bed early, so don't stay up too late. Anyway, I can't understand your behavior."

After simply saying goodbye to these scholars, I chose to leave. Anyway, I would come again tomorrow, but I would not be as enthusiastic as before, because my main idea had been basically completed, and what I had to complete now was just a weapon against nightmares, which was dispensable to me.

But when I walked out of the base, I saw a familiar figure at a glance.

"Hmm~Hmm~Hey? Sister Xiaohan, you're out!"

"Yeah." I responded simply, and then shifted my gaze from the cute cat girl Yu Meng to another person beside her, "Tan Han, you came a little later than I expected."

"Really?" At this moment, Tan Han also put down his right hand that was stroking Yu Meng's ear and looked at me, "So do you have time now?"

"When you have time, Ning Lanqiuyue told me that you have something to ask me. It is related to this, right?" I gently stroked Yu Meng who was running towards me, touched her head and let her go back first. After all, it was almost night and it was not appropriate for her to stay outside any longer.

At this time, Sister Bai also came over from behind me.

"Hello, senior sister." Tan Han looked at Sister Bai behind me and greeted her politely, and Sister Bai just responded simply.

Then Tan Han looked at me again, "Xiao Han, can we... chat alone?"

"Well... OK." I turned my head and glanced at Sister Bai and then said, "In that case, let's go back first. This is not a good place to talk about things."

"Thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? I'm a little curious about how you are doing now. This place is quite far from where I live. Do you mind telling me about it?"

I guided Tan Han and Sister Bai to return to their residence.

Along the way, I also learned a lot from Tan Han, such as the current situation of Ninglan New City before they came down, or how many ordinary students affected by this incident Tan Han and her group had gathered, how many students were now in the underground city, and what difficulties others would face, etc.

Of course, Tan Han also learned a lot of information from me, such as the current situation of the underground city, the attitude of the people here towards outsiders, etc.

Of course, what I care more about are the methods that they have personally experienced that can harm the soul.

According to Tan Han, there were not many city guards who mastered that method, and the style was the same as the weapons they were usually equipped with, that is, cold weapons like spears and lances in their hands.

Once stabbed, according to the description of the injured, it is a heart-wrenching pain, and the personal experience of the loss of vitality will subconsciously stimulate the deepest fear of death in the heart.

When a person's soul is damaged, the conscious body in the dream will appear abnormally transparent. The more serious the injury, the higher the transparency of the body. The feeling of watching oneself step into death is very bad, and it can even cause a person to have a mental breakdown.

"We're here. This is the place." I took Tan Han into this hotel. This place is certainly not as good as the Ninglanxiang Hotel in Ninglan New City, but this also needs comparison. Compared horizontally with other places in the underground city, it is much better.

"Well, go in first." I said to Tan Han, and then looked at Sister Bai, "Sister Bai~ I'll chat with her for a while~"

"Okay, got it, go ahead."

After getting Sister Bai's reply, I went straight back to my room and closed the door. As the door was locked, I looked at Tan Han.

"Sit down, just find a place to sit. Ning Lanqiuyue said you have questions to ask me, so go ahead." I said, not caring whether Tan Han was polite to me or not, I sat down on the bed all of a sudden, then sat in the most comfortable posture, looking at Tan Han.

"Xiao Han... I want to ask you a question." Tan Han's temperament changed at this moment, and his tone was not the same as before, but more importantly, Tan Han released a soundproof spell.

"You ask." At this moment I also became serious.

"Have you ever felt like you were being played around by fate?"

"Someone who is played by fate?" I was stunned for a moment when I heard Tan Han talking about this topic with me, but then I felt relieved. "Why do you ask that? I thought you were the one who didn't care about this kind of thing the most. After all... what's the name of your talent, Spirit Eyes?"

"Yes, the Spirit Eye, an ability that can help me see through my fate. Many of the decisions I made can be said to be related to it."

"What? Are you thinking of resisting now?" I asked with a smile. Although what Tan Han saw was not fate but luck, she had guessed it almost. Isn't the script her destiny?

"Resist now... No, I have always been resisting. The power given to me by the Spirit Eye cannot be rejected. I must grasp every bit of strength to resist the so-called fate, but I find that I seem to be wrong... The more I resist, the more fate laughs at my incompetence."

"Then what? What motivated you to rebel? Did you want... freedom, or did you not want to be manipulated for no reason?" I continued to ask.

As for fate...it's naturally something that you don't like no matter how you look at it, but I didn't expect Tan Han to tell me this at this moment.

"I don't know. I just know that I don't want this kind of life. It's like...everything I know has changed since I entered the Witch Academy. Xiaohan, you must know something, right? Previously...the awakening of the spirit eye was related to you. After that, you kept your distance from me. You must have noticed something, right? What do you know? Can you tell me?"

"I don't know anything. Also, I kept my distance from you before because of Sister Bai. Maybe she was jealous. Later... she explained it clearly..." At this moment, I started to lie with my eyes open. After all, I couldn't explain this aspect in depth. After all, the signed contract was not for show.

"You're lying...Xiao Han, has anyone ever told you that you have no talent for lying?"

"So what answer do you want from me?" Seeing that my words were ruthlessly exposed by Tan Han, I didn't show any expression and tried my best to maintain a blank face.

"I want to know what you...teachers, even...the dean...are hiding from me? Stop playing dumb! Yang Yuehan! Even if you refuse, please give me a clear rejection. I can pretend that I have never asked you these questions..."

"Well then... I refuse."

Chapter 326 Script, an Inescapable Scam

"you…"

Tan Han looked at me in disbelief. She didn't expect me to answer so decisively.
