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

"Look, you need to think before asking questions. Don't expect a bit of sympathy from outsiders. Can you really pretend that you haven't asked this question? I don't think so."

Seeing Tan Han's shocked expression, I relaxed at once. I didn't think that a clear rejection like this would get rid of Tan Han, but there were some things I really couldn't say. But I could educate her.

The dilemma she is facing now is one that even I find unsolvable. Just imagine, who can expose a world woven of lies?

The people she usually comes into contact with even express their true feelings without knowing anything, so the script is the most exquisite director, and it doesn't even say "cut" when guiding the development of the protagonists.

"So you know, right... Sorry, Xiaohan, there might be unpleasantness between us next. I will use my own way to get my answer!"

In the face of my sarcastic educational words, Tan Han's expression changed from confused at the moment of my rejection to gloomy, and then to determination. In this instant, she made too many inner changes.

And when she expressed her unhappiness, she had already made the decision she would never regret, because it was the only breakthrough she could find.

She needs to understand the truth before she can break the status quo.

“It’s a decisive choice.”

I was also very surprised by Tan Han's sudden action, but after expressing my initial shock, I quickly reacted.

Even if Tan Han wants to get the answer in this "violent" way, she needs to use the spell book. This is the foundation of her strength and the source of her confidence.

"Sorry, I don't have a choice!"

At this moment, Tan Han had already made up her mind. The guilt and helplessness she felt after taking action were soon overwhelmed by her determination. She could only say words of comfort, but she had no choice and even Tan Han didn't know whether she was saying it to the other person or to herself.

Facing Tan Han's attack, the magic attack that had already emerged could not make any further progress in the next moment. The fire spell that emitted blazing flames seemed to solidify, and a cold feeling swept through Tan Han's body in an instant. The originally resolute expression gradually turned into fear under the absolute power.

Fear of the unknown.

"You see, you are not as strong as you think. When facing failure, your heart begins to become... afraid?" I said, looking at Tan Han who was just a few steps away from me.

"What kind of power is this..."

"It doesn't matter."

"You obviously have such power, why? Why don't you take action? Do you know what we are facing? Those students in the Witch Academy are facing nightmares, facing that dream demon. If you had taken action earlier, they would not have faced that kind of danger. Do you know how many people will die this time!"

"Are you finished?"

"no!"

"Then go on and see if you can convince me." I looked at Tan Han's hysterical "No" and I was unmoved. But after these two words were shouted out, the other party was like a deflated ball and couldn't utter a word.

"It seems that there is nothing to say. I just want to say one thing. Don't stand on the moral high ground to accuse me. Do you care about those students? Does their life or death really affect you? I don't think so. So many people outside Ninglan New City have not found this shelter. I didn't see you go out to look for it. Now Ninglan New City is not safe anymore. The underground city has become your last retreat. I didn't see you bring them all down. What... time doesn't allow, opportunity doesn't allow are all excuses to convince you to feel at ease. This is what you said when we were on the way here. How about it? Wouldn't it be different if you state it in a different way? Accusations have no power over me."

"I'm just curious... where did the former Tan Han go? What I can't understand the most is your incompetence. Once upon a time, your combat power was almost the same as mine, and it seems to be the same now. The difference in magic power source is not big, and the difference in spell books... It seems to be not big now either, but why? What is the gap? You have the power to destroy the entire Ninglan New City, but you don't do it..."

"You are the same, aren't you? You didn't do anything, either?"

"Yes, but so what? Can't you hear why I am saying all this? I will teach you how to chat concisely and clearly. Admittedly, I know that I have a poor talent for chatting, and I believe you are very clear about this. I am teaching you how to communicate with me, communicate efficiently, let go of the resentment in your heart, let go of the nonsense that you open your mouth just to hear other people's words, and just tell me what you want to ask." I said in a flat tone.

"Earlier, I promised Ning Lanqiuyue to talk to you. You said you wanted to talk about things related to yourself, but look at what you are saying to me? It seems that Ning Lanqiuyue didn't tell you everything I said... If you have the answer in your mind before asking the question, don't ask it out loud."

"Why didn't I take action? Why didn't I do it? I have the power, and you too. The Sleeping Curse has developed to this point, and you haven't made any moves either. Do you care about those innocent people who were dragged into this? No, you only care about the answer you want, the answer you asked me for with this opportunity."

After saying such a long speech, I sat back on my bed again and looked at Tan Han quietly.

At this moment, after losing my power to control her, Tan Han knelt weakly on the floor.

"There are many things I can't tell you because of objective factors." Seeing that she didn't say a word, I spoke again.

"Since you have chosen to resist the so-called fate, the first thing you have to learn is to grow up. No one will just tell you something like that, unless... you have that kind of value." I said.

This reminds me of myself. In the Witch Academy, Teacher Ji Niang would tell me a lot of things, Lina would tell me a lot of things, and even... the Dean would tell me a lot of things, as if they didn't know what taboos were, or maybe they didn't care. Maybe this is the benefit of showing one's own value.

"Value... No... No one is stupid. You, Teacher Lina, and even the Dean are not stupid. They won't do anything that is not beneficial. I must have such value, which is why I let you guys manipulate me. The so-called value you mentioned is meaningless. Even... I don't want it."

"Because you are incapable of grasping this value, you are a puppet at the mercy of others." I shook my head and said.

In fact, to some extent, Tan Han and I are very similar. We both carry values ​​that we cannot bear.

I have innate clairvoyance, worldly-level clairvoyance, while Tan Han is the seed of luck.

Didn't I let myself be manipulated by Teacher Ji Niang at the beginning? One phone call was enough to trick me into going to the Witch Academy willingly.

If it were an ordinary boy, who could bear to become a girl?

Afterwards, I joined Teacher Ji Niang's group after being exempted from the course she promised. Originally, I was supposed to be Teacher Ji Niang's tool in her research of the Great Spell Book, but what happened afterwards changed me.

After I started to pick up the clairvoyance talent that I had avoided before, the value I demonstrated increased little by little. Then, under the flow of the script, I was involved in competitions and exchange competitions, which showed me even more value.

The upper limit of my value is the total amount of value I carry. I am holding this value in my own hands little by little. This value reached the peak of my life at this stage when I helped the dean complete the big spell book.

I have already gotten rid of the absolute manipulation of Teacher Ji Niang, because I have mastered the corresponding value. To put it bluntly, I can even change teachers at any time, after all, there are so many teachers who poach teachers.

But I won't do that, because I know very well what Teacher Ji Niang means to me. She is a benefactor. She changed my cognition, broadened my horizons, gave me opportunities, and raised my stage. Even if the original intention of all this was not absolutely kind, so what?

But now, after passing Teacher Ji Niang, the dean is in front of me. I naturally cannot see through the dean, but I can feel the kindness emanating from him. No matter what is hidden behind this kindness, when the dean gave me the big spell book in the form of a "trial", I realized that there is no need to think too complicatedly about many things.

It was like I had become a pawn in the hands of the dean, which wasn't a bad thing.

Because being a chess piece in the hands of others does not only mean having your destiny controlled, it also means having a backer. What is a backer?

As long as I can still guarantee my value, then the backer will be a talisman that will pay a price to protect me.

Everyone hates people with connections, because they use their limited abilities to obtain results that are beyond their reach, but everyone wants to be a person with connections.

Isn’t it the same for Tan Han?

She became the child of fortune and enjoyed the benefits brought by the script. Her identity as the child of fortune was not lost, so everything she did in the script was endorsed by someone.

But this is the difference between me and Tan Han. Tan Han did not take the value of the Son of Destiny into his own hands.

I still remember what I heard from Ji Niang at that time, that Tan Han was very courageous, and she asked for the Book of All Magical Things from the academy right away, but in the end she had to settle for other things, that is, the magic source that far exceeded all the freshmen's magic sources at the beginning, and a massive and high-quality spell books, which gave her the most original accumulation.

This is a reasonable use of one's own value.

and then?

Then she went astray, lured deeper and deeper into the bait of power.

The value that Tan Han initially grasped was exchanged for the original accumulation. This was her use of her own value, but wasn’t this also a trap set by others?

Let her follow the script.

The difficulties I face and the difficulties Tan Han faces are no longer on the same level.

It was precisely because Tan Han bore the pressure and attention for me in such an environment that I had room to struggle.

So...in principle I should thank Tan Han.

But as someone on the dean's side, I should protect the dean's interests, or at least analyze what is beneficial to the dean from the information I revealed to him.

But it certainly wasn't about telling Tan Han the truth.

This is the crux of the dispute between Tan Han and I.

But there is another point... Did Teacher Lina's behavior at the time represent the dean? After all, the contract was signed by Teacher Lina and me, and the unspoken rules that these things could not be said were revealed by Teacher Lina.

From constant contact, I can see that the attitudes of ordinary extraordinary witches and people at the level of the dean towards the script are also different.

Tan Han has already told me this. As long as I give some hints, I can bypass the contract and reveal the truth. This is the charm of communication. The contract is dead, but people are alive. Even if it was said when it was signed that the contract would guarantee that I would not reveal anything, hints would not work. However, practice makes perfect. The communication between Sister Bai and I has proved that some hints have already exceeded the scope of the contract.

But the dean has not made any move so far.

This is where I hesitate.

Tan Han had such a big accident, don’t you care about it?

Or does it mean that when multiple seeds of luck appear, Tan Han has become a dispensable existence?

The battle between the seeds of luck is a life-and-death battle, and in the end only one will be left. This is what Teacher Ji Niang told me, so... self-exposed withdrawal is also one of the default screening mechanisms of the script?

These information and ideas collided in my mind, but I couldn't come up with a good answer.

It can be said that at this moment, Tan Han and I are equally confused. Faced with choices, we don’t know how to make a decision.

But on the surface, I have the initiative and the right to speak.

"I don't have the ability to control my own value... What value can I have? A perfect score in the college entrance examination? The turning point of all this was entering the Witch Academy. I can't figure out what my value is. Xiaohan... can you tell me?"

"... "

I didn't answer immediately, but was thinking about how to say it in a way that would be suggestive yet have nothing to do with me.

But it is obvious that such an answer cannot be found in a short period of time.

I looked at Tan Han who was almost begging. This was the first time I saw her with such an expression. It was a final struggle when she was facing something she longed for, but she had to succumb to the absolute force, but was unwilling to do so.

Poor and pathetic.

"I can't explain it, but I'm curious... when did you start having this idea?" I forced myself to change the subject.

After all, as a son of destiny, Tan Han’s value has no meaning to me. I cannot empathize and understand the value of something I don’t understand.

"When... I lost for the first time... That was when we first fought."

"You won that one."

"Yes, Xiaohan, don't you think it's ridiculous? I won, how ridiculous are these words?"

"so what?"

"I will not lose. The belief of winning is rooted in my heart. This is the conclusion I have come to after so many battles."

"But you didn't win when we fought in the dream."

"Yes, because no one saw it, and no one knew about it." Tan Han refuted again, "Do you remember what I said at the end? Let me win once. It was because of what I said that I understood one thing more clearly. That is not what I pursued."

"So you admitted defeat at the end of the exchange competition."

"Yes... That was the biggest decision I ever made to defy fate, but... After that, you disappeared. As the number one, you seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth."

"... "

After Tan Han said that, I subconsciously wanted to say that it was a coincidence, but...are there any coincidences related to the script? Maybe my actions were also interfered by the script, but they just coincided with my thoughts, and the script pushed me.

"Xiao Han... do you know what your biggest flaw is..."

"Flaw?" I looked at Tan Han who slowly raised his head at this moment, and was a little surprised that Tan Han actually started to counterattack at this moment.

"Do you still remember the secret place of Yucun?"

"Ah."

"Those little guys are called... Yu Meng. There is also a group of little guys called Yu Meng here. They are troubled by nightmares in Yu Village Secret Realm. Everyone here is troubled by nightmares... Now... Yu Village Secret Realm is gone... I don't have any evidence, but I know that so many coincidences are not coincidences..."

"... "

"Are you done talking? It seems I don't need any evidence anymore." Tan Han said.

"Threats are useful, but not much. So, with the little value of threats, what do you want to get from me?" I calmed down, thought about it for a while, and then spoke.

After all, looking at it this way, it seems that I have nothing to refute.

"Is this the correct way to communicate with you, Xiaohan?"

“It’s one of the right ways.”

"I want to know how big this scam is..."

"You want to escape?"

"if you can."

"That's not allowed. It's about this big."

"Thanks…"

"You're welcome."

Chapter 327 Education from Sister Bai~

As the door in the dream opened, Tan Han's slightly haggard figure stepped into the corridor outside. There was a hint of loneliness and confusion in her eyes, but my words rang in her ears.

That’s right… since she has decided to rebel, she should learn to grow up. This is a good start, allowing her to realize how difficult the path she has chosen is.

It was already pitch black outside the hotel, and the light of the ground veins had been blocked, just like the truth that Tan Han had learned at this moment, all she saw was darkness, but such a huge and glowing ground vein would always reveal some brilliance, between those holes in the blocking curtain, Tan Han believed that she would seize that opportunity.

"Is it impossible to escape..." A golden light flashed in Tan Han's eyes, and his gaze became firm.

Then he went back quickly, clutching a blank apprentice nameplate of the Extraordinary Research Base in his hand.
