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

"I almost forgot. This is another spell book that I sponsored in my personal name. Just consider it as a welcome gift for my sudden joining of your laboratory."

"Ah? A greeting gift?" I looked at the dean blankly. What kind of lewd words are these?

Is there any essential difference between this behavior and paying to go to work?

But when I looked at the new spell book that was handed to me, I was also curious. What new spell did the dean give me?

I think the last time I was given the spells of resurrection and teleportation.

"Yes, take it." The dean said with a smile, "Didn't you say earlier that the girl you met couldn't speak her language? This spell can skip the language level and directly communicate with the other party more directly, but the flaw is... it can only communicate between the caster and the connector."

"Thank you, Dean." I widened my eyes in surprise. I didn't expect the Dean to be so thoughtful that he even had this kind of spell book and gave it to me directly. It seems that the Dean's spell pool... is very deep...

I am really envious, but I think if I am given time, I should be able to achieve this level in the future.

"It's okay, start trying it." The dean urged.

"Yes." I didn't refuse. I directly stuffed the spell book into the spell bookshelf and started my first attempt at casting a spell.

As a spell ritual began, this time, the spell was released very smoothly. I have to say, it was much more comfortable than the feeling of releasing the spell with my bare hands!

But to my disappointment, even so, there was still no trace of anything being summoned during the summoning ceremony. I used my psychic vision to observe carefully, and there was not even any abnormal information.

"Still the same, nothing can be summoned... Is there something wrong with this summoning technique?"

"Perhaps we can change our thinking and use another method to release this spell. After all, this spell is running successfully and stably, which must have some magical effect that we have not yet discovered."

"Change the way? How do I change it?" I can't put it upside down, right? This touched on my blind spot in knowledge.

"Maybe... you can try standing in the center of this magic ceremony?" suggested the dean.

Chapter 390 Reverse Summoning

"Standing in the middle of a spell ritual?"

Regarding the dean's suggestion, although I personally feel that it is not as good as casting spells by standing upside down, but since it is the dean's suggestion, I will naturally give it a try. What if it works?

After all, even if it is the worst case scenario, I don’t think the dean should be unable to save me.

At this moment, after I made the decision, even Teacher Ji Niang stopped her progress and came to the side, seemingly curious about the effect of this spell book. After all, she had watched me cast it several times, and the consecutive "failures" did make her curious. What was going on with this spell that had no effect even though it was successfully cast?

"Okay, I'll try it then."

After confirming that there was no good way, I also started to try it according to the dean's method. Maybe this summoning technique requires the cooperation of the caster during the summoning?

But unfortunately, this spell book was just made by the dean, and there are no notes in it. It is even still in the... testing stage, and the tester is me.

After I consumed my magic power and injected it into the spell book again, the spell book lit up, and a spell ritual lit up on the ground, emerging again with me as the center. Seeing this scene, I was also thinking about other possibilities.

This has been no different than every other failed attempt so far, but since the headmaster has asked me to stand within this spell ritual, it seems to make sense.

After all, once this spell is released, the spell ritual will rise from under my feet. I had previously withdrawn in case the summoned things would be blocked by me.

Could it be that... staying in the center of the spell ritual is really the correct way to proceed?

Just as I was wondering, my body suddenly shook!

It's that familiar feeling.

The effect of the spell released...actually acted directly on me.

"Wait... Dean, this is a bit strange... The spell effect of this spell is connected to me as the caster. The relationship is somewhat similar to the previous one between the rune and me. Is this how summoning works?" I said at this moment.

After all, I still remember that this is a test. As a tester, I naturally need to tell the dean all the information I feel now, so that he can understand what is happening to me. Otherwise, bystanders may be confused.

"Of course, this situation does not exist in conventional summoning techniques, but you must understand that the summoning technique you are using is not normal. It is just classified as a summoning technique. Even if it is a summoning technique for creatures from another dimension, it is to summon the subject and sign a contract to establish a connection." The dean immediately explained to me.

"Then what should I do? Continue waiting?" I continued to ask.

"Perhaps... the thread of luck in your hand has given you the answer."

"A thread of luck?"

At this moment, I noticed that my attention was completely focused on the spell itself. Now I looked at my right wrist, and the luck tied with a bow was trembling slightly, like a fluttering butterfly.

Suddenly, the magic ritual under his feet seemed to be activated by something and shone brightly, just like the rune in the dream.

"Is this going to recreate the scene from that time?" I whispered to myself.

This time... could it be that the other party has been summoned?

It was not until my whole body was enveloped by the power of magic that I realized the abnormal situation. An inexplicable force quickly climbed up my body, and the strong restraint made me almost unable to move.

"I can't move... The power generated by the spell is controlling my body..."

"Don't resist. Fighting against the spell effect will most likely cause the spell to fail, and you will then suffer the backlash of the spell." Seeing me like this, the dean immediately began to persuade me, and then she stretched out her hand, and another spell effect wrapped around my whole body.

This is a protective spell. While I was nervous, I also felt what the spell was. I guess it was a layer of protection cast by the dean because he was afraid that I would encounter an accident.

With the protection spell cast by the dean, I breathed a sigh of relief, but I knew very well that this was not the time to relax, because I could clearly feel the resonance between my consciousness and the spell effect, that consciousness seemed to be asking me for its needs.

Just as I was thinking, a golden shadow floated past me. It was a butterfly, a butterfly transformed by golden luck. It flew away from my wrist, and its flight trajectory was erratic, until a certain moment it disappeared into the void.

At this point... I was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the Dean who was standing aside without any movement, but everything around me seemed to be still, until... a crisp voice rang in my ears.

Kala——!

There was a sound of shattering that was harsher than glass, and the reality in front of me was shattered in an instant.

Then, my body fell into a state of weightlessness again, as if I had plunged into the deep sea. The faint protective spell on my body was resisting the oppression of space, but I could do nothing.

Everything in front of me seemed to be moving away from me, and the fragments of shattered reality were also moving away.

I felt like a victim who had fallen into an ice cave, watching the water surface gradually recede and the broken ice cave, the light gradually dimming, and my five senses gradually losing external stimulation...

Until a golden butterfly appeared in front of me again, emitting golden light, forming my only guide in this empty space.

Every time it flaps its wings, it casts a little light; every time it moves forward, it becomes dimmer, as if it is using its life to show me the way ahead.

But it's not so much showing me the way.

I was helpless in this void and couldn't do anything, but it was like a guardian, opening up the unknown ahead for me and guiding me to my destination.

now.

In the laboratory.

Seeing the figure suddenly disappearing from the experimental site, Ji Niang's eyes flashed with panic for a moment, but when she saw that the dean beside her was not surprised at all, she calmed down.

"Where did she go?"

There was a hint of depression in Ji Niang's tone, but she still pretended to be calm as she asked.

“Maybe... there’s a high probability that it’s the small world pushed over by the abyss demon.” The dean said.

"You knew what the effect of this spell was from the beginning, right? What kind of weird summoning technique is this? How can there be a summoning technique that can make the caster disappear!" Seeing the dean's calm tone, Ji Niang also spoke with a hint of urgency.

"Calm down, Xilan, you have lost the rationality that a witch scholar should have. Besides... aren't you curious about what this is? I call this spell derived from your [Supernatural Knowledge] and created by me... Reverse Summoning."

"Reverse summoning? What about Xiaohan? You are sending her to her death! Do you understand?" When she heard that Xiaohan was going to be sent to an unknown small world brought by those abyss demons, she began to question on the spot.

"The reverse summoning technique requires a prerequisite, and that is the summoning guidance. This summoning technique is still composed of two parts: the summoning subject and the summoned. But the difference is that the initiative of the summoning is in the hands of the summoned." The dean looked calm at this moment, without any worry on his face.

"As for your concern for Xiaohan's safety, I actually care more about her than you do. However, I cast a special protective spell on her. If this protective spell is broken, I can sense it, which proves that Xiaohan is in danger."

"What's the use of perception? Isn't Xiaohan's safety the most important thing?"

"Don't worry, I understand the principle of the reverse summoning technique better than you do. But don't forget that I completed it, and I left a summoning guide. As long as this guide is activated, Xiaohan will be able to feel it. In this way, as long as Xiaohan wants, she can be summoned by me again." May Lind said as he showed a rune. This rune was exactly the summoning guide rune mark left in the previous spell.

"But this is still not safe! That is an unknown world. Even that small world has been invaded by the abyss demons and has become a hatchery for small demons!"

"Can't you just learn to trust others? Xiaohan is much stronger than you. When facing unknown events, her performance has always been better than I expected, even much better. Whether it's the competition, the exchange competition, or the Ninglan New City incident, I've watched her grow little by little."

"..." Ji Niang was silenced by the dean's words, "Then what's next..."

"Of course we are waiting. This is our only chance in the near future. That piece of luck is only enough to serve as a one-time single guidance. Xiaohan needs to figure out the effect and general principle of this spell there, and leave the guidance rune of reverse summoning before encountering danger that she cannot deal with."

"You should tell her these things directly instead of keeping her in suspense." Teacher Ji Niang criticized from the side. It was obvious that she was still a little dissatisfied with the dean's behavior. Even if the other party was the dean, she would still express it directly.

"It's not important, Xilan, it's not important. This is just a test and training for Xiaohan. This is a rare opportunity. Even if Xiaohan wastes this opportunity, our Witch Academy advance exploration team will be able to find this world in about a month. Time is nothing to us. We just need to wait."

"Are you so sure that the world Xiaohan accidentally connected to this time is that small world?"

"Of course." The dean responded confidently.

"Don't forget, dear Xi Lan, we are in the main world. Even though it has become a ruin, it is still a world blooming on the main stream of the earth veins. Both in theory and the void development team composed of several deans like me have confirmed that there can be no world outside the main world on the main stream of the earth veins. Large worlds cannot exist either because they are not qualified."

"Only the main world is qualified to stand above the mainstream of the earth's long river."

"That's why I'm curious about how those Abyss Demons got that small world nearby. Maybe they got it from somewhere else, but it's obvious that unless it's human intervention, there can't be other worlds. Since that trace of luck can come to the main world, it means that the small world has entered the radiation range of the main world in the void, which is the void area around the main world that we have explored. In this range, we have only observed the world sent by those demons, so there is only one answer left."

"To add, even if Xiaohan really discovered another small world, I would die of laughter. The traces of my protective spell that Xiaohan brought with her would allow me to locate the coordinates of that world even if it took me decades or even hundreds of years. A world that can be hidden right under our noses is also worthy of our attention."

Following the dean's words, Ji Niang was also stunned.

She didn't think so much about it. After all, she didn't care what the main world was like. In this main world, she only cared about the [Supernatural Knowledge] in front of her. The main world could provide her with a shelter that could not be guaranteed outside the void, and that was all.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Ji Niang looks like an ordinary extraordinary witch in the Witch Academy. You have to understand that entering the main world also requires qualifications. Except for a few who have connections, any witch who wants to enter the main world by relying on hard power is a genius in the void.

……

"What is going on..."

After some calm thinking, I began to analyze the current situation. Am I trapped in a space channel?

In addition to sensing a protective spell that the dean temporarily cast on me, I also felt the power of the so-called summoning spell.

So... the reason I experienced this was entirely due to this spell!

And I don't dare to interrupt the spell. What if I lose the power of the spell halfway through? I might get caught in space turbulence or something!

I won't joke with my life. Even if I have the power of resurrection, I can't withstand such a thing.

And...where is the dean?

Dean, please save me.

This is the first time I see someone using summoning magic being summoned over. What is this?

The dean wouldn't have made a good plan, right? After all, this spell book was written by the dean, so he should know something. Plus, the dean suggested that I stand on top of the spell ceremony... I'm probably being tricked by the dean again...

Miserable life... dare not resist... and still be a riddle man, is it easy for me?

In fact, although I thought a lot at this moment, not much time had passed objectively.

Soon, I saw a ray of light at the end of this empty space channel.

At this moment, the remaining outline of the butterfly of luck completely turned into a golden light and disappeared in front of me. Perhaps it also felt that its mission was accomplished?

At this moment, I felt the freedom of my body, as if it was the last leg of the journey. I tried my best to go towards the "exit". As for what was there, I didn't know, but it was safer than staying in the space channel.

"This should be the world of that girl." I murmured to myself.

Recalling the previous conversations with the dean and Teacher Ji Niang, that was another world, and the girl was most likely a lucky child of that world.

Facing an unfamiliar world, I naturally need to be prepared. It may not be enough to rely solely on the protection of the dean, because even I don't know what kind of emergency I will encounter at this moment.

As one of my hands stretched out from the end of the passage and touched the solid ground at the edge, my whole body seemed to have a support point. I didn't even need to exert any strength. The effect of the spell squeezed me and pushed me out of the passage of space.

Chapter 391 The Girl in the Dream Enters Reality

In the dark night, the early morning hours are also the darkest hours of the day. This is when most people are enjoying their dreams.

But in a dark alley, a figure walked by very carefully, feeling the wall.

But from time to time, his toes would hit a stone or he would trip over something, making a discordant sound in the silent night.

The girl who walked so hard at night was named Qiu Ruxin. Logically, she should be lying in her bed and dreaming beautiful dreams at this moment, but those were just memories from some time ago.

But this doesn't belong to her now.

She had to remain vigilant at all times to avoid being discovered by those who wanted to harm her.

Even at this time, she did not dare to act rashly. The world had changed, and was gradually falling apart. Night was still the time when criminals were rampant.

She needed to find a place to live that could accommodate her, no matter how shabby or simple it was.

But she didn't have much money and couldn't afford to stay in a guesthouse or motel. She could only try her luck in finding a place to stay here. She didn't even dare to wait until daytime to do these things because it might be even more chaotic.

Taking advantage of the night, Qiu Ruxin walked to an abandoned factory. Theoretically, this should be an excellent place to live, but after seeing the place clearly, she felt a little discouraged.
