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

Chapter 374: Physical Training Hall

"No, I'm not asking you to do something. I just want to ask you, are you interested in visiting that world?"

"Ugh?"

I was a little surprised to hear the dean's words. Is he giving me the right to choose?

"Well...if I'm not interested in going there, do I really not have to go?" I asked tentatively.

"Why? In your impression, I am the type who likes to send people around? If you are not interested, you don't have to go. I came to you because you are a more suitable candidate in my mind."

"Suitable? Why?" I asked.

I didn't continue to ask if I really could not go, because that would make me seem low in EQ, and this matter was really beyond my control.

But I am also very curious, why did the dean say that I am very suitable? Has the dean already found out the details of that small world?

"It's very simple. Small worlds are actually very fragile and cannot bear power above the extraordinary level. That is something that only large worlds can do. So, if the instructors of our Transcendental Academy want to go there, they need to force their strength down to below the extraordinary level before they can go there."

"Well... since the instructor is not good enough, what about those strong students? There should be quite a few students in the academy who are about to be promoted but have not yet been promoted to extraordinary level, right?" I asked.

"It is indeed a lot, but have you forgotten the earth vein shackles? Students who have not cut off the earth vein shackles cannot leave the main world and enter the void, let alone enter other worlds."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." I slapped my forehead and immediately reacted.

So from this perspective, I am not extraordinary, but I have cut off the shackles of the earth veins, and it seems that I am indeed suitable for this mission?

But I know very well that I am not the only choice, I am just the only choice among the students.

When it comes to exploring the unknown world, there are always extraordinary witches taking the lead.

"Um... the dean wants to ask, I should be the type who is dispensable, right? If I go there, won't it cause trouble to the instructors?" I asked tentatively.

Originally I wanted to ask if I was not the main C this time, so you, the dean, were behind all this, right? But I tactfully asked it in a different way.

But then I thought, this is another world, can the dean control the script of the main world and control other worlds? So when I thought about this, I dispelled some concerns.

"Make trouble? What kind of trouble can you make? Even if you go over there and turn that world upside down, it won't be a big deal. That's not the main world, so you can make trouble as you like. Just don't make yourself die."

"Oh." I nodded quickly. With the dean's words, I felt relieved.

"Why, you care so much about these things, do you want to go?"

"Um... I'm a little tempted, but I haven't made up my mind yet. I want to ask, when can we go there?"

"For extraordinary witches, we can go there anytime we want, even now, but we have to cross the void between the worlds to reach that small world. After all, the coordinates of that small world have not been determined in the void, so we can't just open a transmission channel to go there. Now, many witches who are curious have gone there to take a look."

"So actually, I can't go there right now?" Hearing this, I don't know why I felt inexplicably relieved. Maybe deep down I don't want to go there, at least not in the near future. At least you have to let me rest for a while, right?

"Yes, don't even think about going there in the near future. It will take at least a month for those first batch of extraordinary witches to send back any information, conservatively estimated."

"One month, just sending back information?"

"Correct."

"Then actually, there should be a long time before this happens, right?" That should be enough time for me to rest until I'm bored and want to have fun.

Thinking about it this way... even if the dean asked me to do a task, I would probably do it, and... Sister Bai should have returned by then, and I don't know if Sister Bai would go with me.

"Yes, one month is a conservative estimate. We have reserved time to establish a stable transmission channel between the two worlds within two months, and to guide public opinion in the outside world within half a year to prepare for the collision of the worlds..."

"Huh? Wait, what does that mean? Guiding public opinion? Collision of worlds?" I quickly interrupted the dean and asked.

"Well, the collision of worlds is inevitable. If the main world wants to swallow up that small world, it will require the main world consciousness to exert its strength. Even if we are only assisting the main world consciousness to complete the assimilation of the world, when the two worlds collide for the first time, the anomaly that occurs will naturally affect the entire world. Moreover, this is a collision of two worlds at the void level, which refers to the interaction and overlap in the world space. Do you know what will happen?"

"Um...what happened?" I looked at the dean with an ignorant but inquiring look, waiting for an answer.

"The world and space represented by the two worlds are two different concepts. The overlap and interaction of space will naturally open up a space crack, and that crack is the channel for the two worlds to communicate."

"So this is actually a disaster that affects the entire world, because space cracks will randomly appear where the two world space levels overlap?" I tried to understand and asked tentatively.

"Yes, you are very smart, that's what I mean."

"So, this requires the cooperation of the entire world to seal those space cracks as quickly as possible to prevent ordinary people from going there to commit suicide or strong people from the other side from coming here to cause damage to our world?"

"No, you forgot about the earth vein shackles again. Even if the worlds collide and even a space crack opens, the earth vein shackles will firmly block them. Ordinary people can't get through at all. The same is true for the other party."

"Um... if that's the case... then the meaning of the blockade is simply to prevent ordinary people from being exposed to these things?" I asked.

"Of course it's not just that. Have you forgotten what I said just now? The main world wants to annex that small world as a fertile resource world. The process of this annexation is actually the process of the world consciousness annexing and assimilating the world's will, and turning the other world's land veins into the main world's land veins."

"This is probably equivalent to the grafting of earth veins. As long as they have the same origin, the power of the earth vein shackles will weaken. So as time goes by, ordinary people from the two worlds can pass through each other, because this is essentially the same main world, but it is still divided at the spatial level."

"So...how long will this process take?"

"We don't know. Currently, our main world has not swallowed up any small worlds, so we don't know the speed of its assimilation. But conservatively speaking... it should take several years. However, we can artificially speed up this process."

"Several years!" This time span... does surprise me a little, but when I think about the fact that it took me ten years to graduate from the Witch Academy, it doesn't seem that long.

"Yeah, so this kind of thing can't be rushed."

"Um...then the dean told me so early?" I complained slightly.

"I just happened to meet you, so I'll tell you about this. Aren't you afraid that you'll be bored? I'll give you a few months to think about it."

"I see. Thank you, Dean, for considering me like this."

"Nothing. After all, I told you all this in the hope that you can get through. And there is another point... if too many extraordinary strong men go there, the world will of that small world may not be able to bear it."

"Can't bear it? What about the main world..." When I thought about the many extraordinary academies in the main world, and the many extraordinary people in the academies, there were many in the witch academy alone, and some extraordinary witches were even scholars who didn't teach, I didn't see that the main world couldn't bear it.

"The main world also has its limit. Otherwise, why do you think your sister Bai needs qualifications to return to the main world? That qualification is used to control the dynamic balance of the number of extraordinary people in the main world."

"Um... okay..." I recalled Sister Bai's qualification as a special guest teacher, which was also thanks to the care of the dean.

"Once this small world is integrated into the main world, I estimate that the upper limit of the number of extraordinary people that the main world can withstand will increase once again."

Although the dean said this, at this moment she was wondering whether she should use this invasion of a small world as a starting point. If other extraordinary races come in in the future, she could give them a few small worlds as tickets to try first?

After all, the main world is still in a trough at the moment, and it needs a lot of resources to revive its former glory. The ruins of the main world are far larger than they appear. If the main world is fully revived, the number of extraordinary races it can sustain is theoretically... unlimited. This is one of the meanings of the main world's must-fight...

"So... Dean, during this period of time, am I just going to do nothing?" I asked tentatively.

"Don't you have your own plans? You can do whatever you want during this period of time." The dean glanced at me and said.

"Okay, okay." I nodded quickly to indicate that it was okay. As long as nothing happened during this period of time, then everything would be fine. I finally put my mind at ease.

"Then I won't bother you. I can see that you feel a little uncomfortable when you are alone with me, even when walking on the street."

"Be more confident. I'll give you some time. You can reach my level or even surpass me. After all, the original witch never told me that she had high hopes for you. She only told me to think realistically."

"At that time, I had the same spellbook as you, and I was already an extraordinary witch. Maybe that's the difference. At that time, I was even more impetuous than you are now. Now you are mature, as if you have become... How should I describe it? A social animal who sees through desires? That's probably what it means. There is only numbness to the world in your eyes, but I can see that you have a paranoid love for the extraordinary."

I listened to the dean's evaluation of me... I have to say it seemed to sound very accurate, straight to the point, and even made my scalp tingle.

It feels like I'm a time traveler.

Just when I was about to say something, the dean's figure had completely disappeared, and I was the only one left on the side of the road.

"Ah~"

I sighed and patted my face to calm myself down.

The dean has left, and I have to start my own arrangements, starting with meditation practice as planned.

After looking in the direction of the meditation room, I directly got on the broom, took out my phone and made a reservation for a high-end meditation room. Anyway, I am quite wealthy now, so I can't treat myself badly in this regard.

Time passed quickly, and after the incense burned out, nearly two hours had passed.

Although meditation consumes a lot of energy, it can help me calm down better. After all, even if you sit quietly for an hour or two, as long as you can persist, your mind will be calm.

After feeling the slight improvement in my mental strength, I ended my meditation with satisfaction.

After leaving the meditation room, I planned to go to the physical training hall to practice physical training.

The existence of the Physical Training Hall was some common sense that Sister Bai told me after she gave me the body-building ring.

It is a semi-open physical training area. Anyone who wants to practice physical skills can go there. It is somewhat similar to a gym.

Of course you have to pay if you want to get in. It's a membership system, which means you have to pay money to get a card.

The physical training hall was founded by a physical training club, and its nature is somewhat similar to the original flight license training club.

The membership standard for this club is that only those who have achieved certain accomplishments in physical training are eligible to join. Club members have many conveniences and can also work part-time or even full-time as coaches teaching physical training, similar to personal trainers in the gym. Of course, this requires extra payment for those who are learning.

I simply went through the ritual war dance that came with my body-building ring as a daily routine to improve my overall physical fitness.

As for some specific physical skills, I'm not in urgent need of them. After all, my straight punch is very powerful, so I don't really need physical skills to fight against the enemy for the time being.

I have never been to the physical training hall. Sister Bai just mentioned it to me briefly and told me that I could find it directly on the mobile map.

I tried it and it actually works, and... there is more than one physical training gym within the Witch Academy.

Judging from the description on the map, they all seem to belong to the physical training exchange club.

I didn’t pick and choose and just chose the nearest one. As for navigation?

There is absolutely no need for that. Once I confirm the exact direction, the flying broom will take me straight there and I don't have to worry about the route at all.

When I arrived here, I saw the conspicuous words "Physical Training Hall" on this special building.

When I came here, I subconsciously looked for any public teleportation landmarks. I had already interacted with the area near the meditation room. After I separated from the dean, I did not choose to teleport because it was close.

This was my first time here, so I naturally started looking for it subconsciously.

After looking for a long time with my spiritual vision, I finally found it at a farther place. It seems that the location of this physical training hall is not very good.

After complaining a little, I put away my broom and walked over here.

As soon as I walked in, I felt the vibrant atmosphere coming towards me, and the air was filled with the smell of sweat and passion.

The area in front seems to be the front desk here. Even the design of the front desk has a lot of fitness equipment and some inspirational slogans, urging everyone who chooses to practice physical training to continue to struggle on this path.

But when I walked to the front desk, I saw the senior students coming and going in cool clothes, but I seemed out of place here.

This outfit of mine... doesn't seem to be suitable for body building, oh... bad decision...

You should wear close-fitting clothes inside that are convenient for movement.

But at this moment, the senior students at the front desk also greeted me warmly after seeing me as a stranger.

Looking at the dashing postures of those senior sisters who have just finished their training, it seems that this is the atmosphere here. This trip of physical training should bring me different surprises and expectations.

But I quickly put this mentality aside. No, no, no, now I have Sister Bai, I can’t go on like this…

"Hello, junior sister, are you interested in physical training? If you just want to keep fit, we have professional physical training sisters here who can provide one-on-one guidance and correction~"

Chapter 375: An Attempt at a Primary Ritual War Dance

After a round of enthusiastic sales pitch from them, I finally got the membership card from the senior student at the front desk with great difficulty. I swiped the card at the entrance and went in directly.

Just now, the senior sisters at the front desk were enthusiastically promoting their various services to me. After all, making money here essentially means selling services, at least that's what it seems on the surface.

As for the deeper level, it’s hard to say.

The senior student just now, after confirming that it was my first time here and that I had just started physical training, enthusiastically promoted one-on-one private training.

I just took a quick glance at the most popular senior students, and the starting price had to be paid in Olympic Gold, which really scared me. Wouldn't it be better to use the Olympic Gold to do something else fun instead of being educated by a private coach here?

Unless this private trainer has ulterior motives in what he teaches.

Judging from the current situation, this speculation seems to be quite likely.

Fortunately, I rejected it quickly.

At this moment, my right hand is stroking the body-building ring that Sister Bai gave me on my finger. Although my current clothes are not very suitable for strenuous exercise, I am not picky about this.

But I do have some plans. I plan to buy some sportswear specifically for exercise or body building.

Maybe before I go buy it, I should go back and see if it's among the clothes that Sister Bai bought for me, because I needed so many that I didn't pay much attention to some of them.

When I approached the physical training hall, I was a little surprised, because the internal layout was somewhat similar to the impression I had of a gym. A lot of the equipment was of the very common type, and there were even conventional equipment such as treadmills, and even some aerobic exercise equipment. At this moment, many young girls were enthusiastically sweating on them.

Wow...are these people here to work out, lose weight and keep in shape?

When did physical training become such a joke?

This is completely different from the impression I have of practicing physical skills. I didn't even see anyone practicing ritual war dances with the body-building alchemy rings.

As if seeing me standing there without moving and feeling unfamiliar with me, a coach who did not formally coach students here walked over here.
