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

"Correction, there are four now." Ying Shiqian said to me while watching the fun.

"I'm sorry, Xiaohan, I..."

"It's okay. Just like Senior Ying Shiqian said, what's wrong with having few people? We can just take the elite route~" I hurriedly comforted her and showed my attitude at the same time. Otherwise, I felt that Senior Tang Yihan would feel inferior if she continued like this.

I don't really care about the number of people. After all, the more people there are, the more things I have to consider. And if there are fewer people, no one will snatch the manager's small treasury from me!

"Xiao Han, do you really not care?" Senior Tang Yihan did not expect to hear words of comfort from me, and asked quickly.

“Of course, if there are fewer people, no one will compete with me for the store manager’s secret fund~” I said half-jokingly.

"That's right. When the store manager comes back, I'll tell her about this and make her bleed a lot this time!"

"That's right! Yihan, I'm not saying anything harsh about you, but why were you so lacking in tact back then that the first spell you gave Xiaohan was the cleaning spell? It's too low-end! At least you should have gotten an attacking spell!" Ying Shiqian spoke from the side.

"What's wrong with the Cleansing spell? Functional spells are not cheaper than general offensive spells. Xiaohan was still a temporary worker at the time, and I could only persuade the store manager to give me a spell book."

"Alright, alright~ Stop talking, seniors. I like all kinds of magic. I'm not picky!" I quickly stepped forward to try to stop the fight, otherwise I felt it might turn into a quarrel.

Although it’s not the first time that the seniors have quarreled and bickered with each other, I would still feel bad if it was because of me.

After convincing the two senior students, I also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, I'm just curious, what is our store manager usually busy with? I don't usually see her in the bakery. Is she not coming today?"

"I don't know about that. The store manager never tells us what she's going to do."

"Yes." Senior Ying Shiqian also responded, "But I chat with the store manager occasionally, and I heard that she is busy with some important things recently."

"Something very important? What is that?" I asked curiously.

"Hmm...it seems to be related to Tan Han. You know, Tan Han was abducted to the Witch Academy, and the store manager played an indispensable role~"

"really…"

I nodded in affirmation. This year's top student with full marks didn't even get into the three major colleges, but ended up entering the Witch Academy which had a very bad reputation. I think the girl would have fainted in the toilet crying, right?

The store manager has contributed a lot to this. Compared to now, shouldn't he be involved in calming the other party down?

Otherwise, it is really hard for me to imagine what else the store manager can do. By the way, it has been several days since Tan Han was abducted to the Witch Academy, right?

There is really no movement at all.

When something like this happens, it should be publicized, right? After all, the gimmick of a perfect top scorer is very powerful, but the way the college got the other party here is not very legitimate.

This should have been considered, but kidnapping is an old tradition of the Witch Academy. The Witch Academy should not remain silent about this, right?

Based on my understanding of witches, shouldn't they be proud of this?

Chapter 71 The Student Genius Kidnapped by the Store Manager

Although it is a little hard to believe, I have now joined the baking house community.

Of course, there are some immediate benefits after joining, namely, the salary on my original part-time contract has also increased, which can be regarded as a benefit of being a member of the club.

This is a great help, after all, I am really short of money now.

After the club-joining ceremony was over, I ate some cookies to fill my stomach, and then ran to the back to learn some baking skills from senior Tang Yihan.

Although my senior often makes some weird dishes, her baking basics and common sense are very solid and worth learning from.

And if worst comes to worst, I still have the ingredient list booklet that my senior gave me. Can't I just study on my own?

As for the store outside, it was naturally Senior Sister Ying Shiqian who took over temporarily. After all, this was roughly the team structure of the bakery before I was there.

"Um...senior, can I ask you something?" I fiddled with the dough in my hands, and then arranged it into strange shapes in the baking pan.

"Ask." Senior Tang Yihan nodded in response.

"Well, senior, what do you think about me taking the test for a pilot's license before school starts? Any suggestions?"

After all, I saw this when I was checking my phone data just now, so I asked about it as well.

"Pilot's license? Well... it's indeed a good idea. After all, it's always good to master a skill, and it's much more convenient than taking a car." Tang Yihan thought about it for a while, and finally gave a positive reply.

"If you, Xiaohan, want to take the pilot's license test, I can recommend a good place for you."

"Hey? Senior, do you know an organization that assesses pilot licenses?" I asked with a little surprise. After all, for things like this, it would be easy to get things done if you have connections.

It’s just like taking a driver’s license test in the previous life.

"I can't say I know him. After all, I have a pilot's license, so we have met before. At least I know the quality of the teaching there."

Just when I was about to ask my senior about something related, the noise outside attracted me.

But it doesn't look like a customer has come. Judging from the reaction of senior sister Ying Shiqian outside, he should be the store manager?

My senior and I looked at each other, then put down our work and went out to take a look.

After all, Senior Tang Yihan still needs to show the application for joining the club to the store manager.

I followed the senior in surprise, as I didn't expect the manager to come to the store at this time.

After I went out, I found that the noise outside was indeed caused by the store manager. Looking at Xia Li's smiling face, I seemed to see Xiao Jinku waving at me.

But what surprised me even more was that the store manager walked in with another girl.

I subconsciously opened my spiritual vision and saw that the opponent only had one magic source which was a little agitated. It seemed that the opponent was also a freshman like me.

But why does the other person look familiar?

But before I could react, two senior schoolmates came over to greet me. The most enthusiastic one was senior schoolmate Ying Shiqian.

"Manager~ You actually came to the store today? Are you here to see me~"

"Obviously not, and are you blind? There's someone following the manager." Senior Tang Yihan was very calm, and then her eyes turned to the girl next to Xia Li.

Although the girl appeared to be very calm at this moment, her unique temperament as a freshman could not be concealed.

"Tan Han, right? We met once before." Tang Yihan walked forward and asked with a smile.

"Xiaohan, let me introduce you to these two seniors. Her name is Tang Yihan, and that one is Ying Shiqian." Xia Li quickly pulled Xia Li's arm and introduced them enthusiastically.

"Manager~ What do you mean that girl is called Ying Shiqian? How can we introduce her like that? Sister Tan Han, just call me Senior Shiqian~" Ying Shiqian protested from the side.

"Okay, you can call her Senior Sister Shiqian, or not. That one... um... is Yang Yuehan..." Xia Li thought about my name and introduced me casually, "She is a new clerk in our store, and she is also a freshman this year. And her name is also Xiaohan. Two Xiaohans (Han), you two are really destined to meet each other~"

I was standing aside feeling a little awkward at this point, and when that name was mentioned, I realized who this tall, cool-toned girl was.

Isn’t this the top student in our class who got full marks?

After learning about this identity, I only felt the pressure from being a genius student, which was almost suffocating.

This girl who didn't say a word until here vividly depicts the indifference of the academic god. It perfectly fits my stereotype of the academic god. It seems that he is the type that is not easy to get along with.

Wasn’t it said that she was abducted and was still being comforted in the academy?

Are you accepting reality so quickly?

Moreover, as soon as she came, she snatched away my nickname "Xiao Han". It doesn't seem like we are destined to be together as the store manager said, right?

"Hi…how are you?"

But no matter what, I still have to say hello. I can't appear to be impolite. I've already lost in terms of status, and if I still don't have manners it will be fatal.

"Hello." Tan Han looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze, and the first greeting she said was to me, which made me feel flattered.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and it was only until the store manager came out to smooth things over that the situation became a little more relaxed.

"Oh, Xiaohan is just like that, not very talkative, please don't mind..." Xia Li closed the glass door and walked inside with Tan Han, "Hey~ You two are freshmen, so you should have a lot of common topics. Xiaohan, didn't you say you were interested in my club bakery? Feel free to take a look around, and if you like anything, you can try it directly, don't be polite with me."

After Xia Li finished speaking, she hurried to the back as if she had something important to do. After I learned that the bakery was the club site of the Bakery Club, I realized what all that space at the back of the shop was used for. It was not only used as a warehouse to store materials, but also for storing club supplies and club activities and gatherings, etc.

As the store manager got busy, the two senior students also went over to join in the fun, leaving me here in embarrassment.

By the way, where did you come to the conclusion that freshmen all have common topics?

I don't have much experience getting along with people my own age, and I don't even have many friends.

I held the work clothes and apron on my body. This set of clothes was still very different from the outfit that Tan Han was wearing at the moment, which seemed to be a fully customized one.

"Um...how about I find a bench for you to sit on first?" I asked tentatively. After all, there were no seats at the front desk of the bakery. They didn't support dine-in. It was just a store that was supposed to sell baked pastries.

"No, thank you. I'll just take a look." Tan Han rejected my suggestion.

"Well then..." I regrouped myself. After all, I was just rejected. "Then you need me to introduce you to this place... Hey? Hey! That! That can't be eaten!"

Chapter 72 Tan Han's First Experience in the Bakery

Just when I was thinking about how to talk to this aloof academic genius again, I found that Tan Han was walking around here on his own.

But this is not enough to make me lose my composure. However, Tan Han’s target is not ordinary pastries, nor the finished products placed in the display cabinet.

That was the "good stuff" that Senior Sister Tang Yihan deliberately left outside for Senior Sister Ying Shiqian!

Which of the test products from senior Tang Yihan is not a dark dish that can shake your taste buds? I can't imagine how Tan Han's expression would be twisted after tasting it!

"Huh? What's wrong?" Tan Han looked at me with a little surprise, and paused her movements. "Didn't Manager Xia Li say that I could taste it as I pleased?"

"That's right, but the cake in your hand... is a test product of Senior Tang Yihan, and it can't be said to taste delicious..."

"So you mean I can try it?" Tan Han obviously didn't get the point of what I said, but continued to use the fork in her hand to pick up a little bit of cream on it and put it in her mouth.

"Um... indeed it's OK... haha... just pretend I didn't say anything..." I looked at her just picking up a little bit of the cream on top and I felt relieved. Fortunately she didn't do anything stupid.

"The cream tastes very good." Tan Han carefully savored the taste of the cream, then gave it a positive review and clicked a thumbs-up.

Then she scooped along the cut piece with a spoon. She did it so quickly that I didn't have time to react. After all, I thought she would stop there, but I didn't expect her to come up with a big one?

By the time I reacted, Tan Han had already put the cake and the filling into her mouth.

For a moment, my tendency to feel embarrassed for others was aroused, and then I saw that Tan Han's expression, which had always been calm, changed.

And I could feel that Tan Han seemed to have been very restrained, but still couldn't help revealing an embarrassed look.

"Ah...Ah! Sorry, I thought you wouldn't eat it anymore. Spit it out! Don't force yourself like this!" I quickly picked up a tissue and handed it to him, "Do you want me to get you a glass of water?"

"Um...um..."

After the initial excitement, Tan Han subconsciously took the paper I handed over, but in the end she swallowed it. I seemed to be able to see a few crystal pearls in the corners of her eyes.

"Sorry... please give me a glass of water..."

Finally she couldn't help it and accepted my proposal.

"Okay, wait a minute..."

I hurried over and took the paper cup to get the water and handed it to her. With the transition of water, Tan Han finally calmed down.

"Thank you."

"It's okay. It's mainly because I didn't stop you... Sorry."

This time I am sincerely apologizing. Tan Han was treated like a customer here, but in the end she was treated like this. If the store manager knew about this, I wouldn't have my salary deducted, right?

"There's no need to apologize. I didn't expect... Senior Sister Tang...'s experimental product to be so... strange..." Tan Han put down the quilt and took out a few pieces of paper to wipe the moisture from the corners of her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Senior Tang Yihan has been trying new products, and things haven't been going well in recent times. I guess this is because Senior Ying Shiqian didn't have time to deal with it after she tasted it." I hurriedly explained. I hoped that Tan Han wouldn't misunderstand me.

"Huh~ Forget it, Xiaohan... Can I call you Xiaohan?" Tan Han sighed and spoke directly, but she found that it seemed inappropriate to call me like that, so she asked tentatively.

"Yes, of course." I nodded quickly. After all, I was used to being called by this nickname.

"Then you can also call me Xiao Tan. Actually, everyone has always called me Xiao Tan, but I am a little uncomfortable with the manager calling me Xiao Han."

"Ok."

I nodded quickly. No matter whether what Tan Han said was true or not, it was always better to make a distinction. Otherwise, it would be so awkward for two people to respond when someone called out to them.

Moreover, there is a huge gap in status between Tan Han and me. If I agree to the wrong thing, how will others view me? I also have to save my face.

"Xiao Han, can you give me a piece of the red velvet cake in your store? The beginning of my fate to attend the Witch Academy was that red velvet cake, but it was a pity that I didn't have the chance to taste it at that time."

"okay."

I looked at Tan Han with a little surprise. I didn't expect that she would bring up this matter on her own initiative. Just now, I had deliberately not mentioned anything about the Witch Academy. After all, she was abducted here, and I didn't want to provoke her.

Even though she looks very stable now and seems to have accepted everything, from what she said just now, I can tell that her level of acceptance is higher than I thought?

How did the academy appease him? This kind of academic genius should be the type with a lot of arrogance, right?
