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

Upon further inquiry, it turned out that some specific equipment, such as disposable test targets, test dummies, or solidified spell permissions for special effects, all cost extra.

Well, it's all about money. Suddenly I feel that the free laboratory is still very good.

But Sister Bai has already paid the money...Alas...

People who don’t know me would think that I was taken care of by Sister Bai.

"Xiao Han, do you need some test dummies?" Bai Yu asked, tilting his head.

"Ah? That's not necessary. The spells I test don't need to look at the power so intuitively. Besides, since we opened this shop, don't we get some free test dummies and force gauges? No need to spend so much money." I waved my hands quickly. After all, what I wanted to test were the civet cat summoning spell and the illusion clone that Sister Bai gave me. These spells don't cause direct damage.

I looked around the place. Although it was empty, I could see traces of fighting on the surrounding walls, floors and ceilings. After all, the interior of the place was reinforced with magic, so the entire building would not collapse due to an explosion.

Of course, there are some spell restrictions here, all of which are spells with extremely high magic power consumption. They have nothing to do with people like me who cannot use spells with even three-digit magic power consumption.

"Xiao Han, which spell do you want to try first? Or do you want to try the illusion clone I gave you first?" Bai Yu, who was standing aside expectantly, asked, "I have to remind you that the illusion clone spell is a bit special. Its effect can only be applied to targets that are susceptible to illusions like you. The dummies and various tests here cannot meet the requirements for testing this spell."

"Ugh?"

"There are testers here, but you have to pay them a lot of money in advance. Do you want to hire them or let me accompany you to test?"

"Hey? Sister Bai, will you accompany me to test? But this spell will work on you..." I looked at Sister Bai in surprise. I didn't expect her to propose such a choice.

"It's just an illusion. It's nothing. Don't underestimate Sister Bai. Or are you going to use it on yourself?"

"Huh? Can it be used on yourself?"

"Of course, magic doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, so why can't it be used on yourself?" After Bai Yu finished explaining it to me, he came to the other side of me and said, "While we still have time, let's start it as an exercise after lunch."

Chapter 144: Illusionary clone? Please, another me!

"okay!"

I nodded heavily. Since Sister Bai had already made the choice for me, there was no need for me to be shy.

Why should you be polite to Sister Bai!

So, at this moment I closed my eyes and sank my mind into the depths. The spell of illusion clone is a little different from my other spells. That is, it contains the introduction and instructions for use of this spell.

This greatly reduces the time I have to spend exploring.

It’s just a pity that this manual does not include internal information, just like the instruction manual of a mobile phone does not contain the design drawings of a chip.

This illusion clone spell is an illusion spell, as can be seen from the name.

However, this is not the result of relying on the power of illusion to create an actual phantom of a clone, but rather relying on the result of "implanting" the target after the spell is cast.

This spell mainly relies on an illusion medium to implant an illusion into the target, that is, to make the other party enter a state of "being under illusion".

Such a spell would have great limitations. The illusory clone could only be seen by the person who was under the spell, and it could not play any substantial role. It could not cast spells, could not attack, and could not do anything.

But the advantages are also great, such as low consumption and unlimited number of clones, but too many of them may cause the opponent to "see through" the spell too early and escape from the spell effect.

But this illusion clone has another advantage, that is, it is real enough! The enemy target cannot actively distinguish who is fake and who is real from the stiffness, rigidity, and daze of the control.

After all, to put it bluntly, all of this is just "filled in" by the person who has been bewitched. Many unreasonable things will be filled in by himself. Only by defeating the illusionary clone can you be sure that it is the clone.

It can be said that this spell is extremely disgusting!

Of course, this is not impossible to defend against. For example, some special mental spells, dispel, purification, mind spells, etc. can all remove this illusion.

But how could freshmen have so many tricks?

If you don’t have corresponding measures, you will suffer losses.

Moreover, since this illusion clone spell has no main attack capability, all the effects are focused on the illusion, so it is very easy to "implant" the illusion!

It’s so easy... you might get tricked just by looking at it!

I looked at the thing that looked like a "rune" on the palm of my hand.

I have not studied rune literature and I don’t have access to it at this stage, but there are a large number of runes in rituals. They may be used for embellishment or may be the core of the ritual.

Now, I have completed the spell of illusion clone. When I saw this pattern, I had a strange feeling, as if something had happened.

But thinking about it again, it seems that nothing has happened...except...the other me in front of me.

"Ugh?"

I was startled by the scene, but quickly realized that this was the illusionary clone I saw after the spell!

The first feeling she gave me was... real, so real!

It’s so detailed that it gets to the other person’s body swaying, breathing fluctuations, clothing, temperament and expression... Is this how I see myself?

"Of course, my original body, don't look at me in such surprise." At this moment, the clone suddenly spoke, allowing me to hear what she said.

"You can actually speak?" I stared at the clone in front of me. I didn't seem to have much control over her. Could it be that this spell cannot be controlled autonomously?

Then the applicability of this spell is not very good, it can only be used as an obstruction spell to cause trouble to others.

As for the magical modification of this spell... I'm sorry, this is a completely new field, and I don't have any basic knowledge in the field of illusion. At this time, I miss Teacher Ji Niang a little.

If I ask her for help, she should use her authority to download various analytical papers related to illusion for me, so that I can have a certain basic understanding of this spell.

But it’s not available now. If I were to go to the library to look for it myself, it might take me a long time, and I might not even be able to use it.

Not only is the time wasted, but also the knowledge.

"No, no, no ~ It's you who is talking. You have been under the illusion, can't you see it? But... our Sister Bai is waiting for you now." At this time, the illusion clone leaned against me without any sense of distance, put one hand on my shoulder, and pointed at Sister Bai not far away.

"Xiao Han, what's wrong? You started talking to yourself. Are you under an illusion?" Sister Bai walked over and asked with a smile.

"Uh..." I turned my head to look at the face that looked exactly like me, and smiled awkwardly at Sister Bai, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be..."

"Really? Then give me one too. Is it this one?" Sister Bai asked curiously, pointing at the lines on my hand.

"Well... Sister Bai, haven't you seen it yet?" I raised my hand. Since I have been hit by the spell, Sister Bai should also be hit by it!

Otherwise it would be very embarrassing for me to be alone!

"No, it seems that I have a high resistance to illusions. After all, I have also done corresponding resistance training." Sister Bai explained.

"I see...that's right." I nodded. After all, seeing this medium only means there is a probability of being affected. If I actively bring the medium into contact with the individual, the probability of being affected will increase sharply!

"Sister Bai, don't move. I'll try it on you right now!" I said as I moved the illusion medium towards Sister Bai.

I don’t know whether this illusion clone is a different one for each person or a shared one.

After all, this looks like a spell targeting individuals, so it should be different, right?

I looked at the long instruction manual again. A lot of things were explained clearly there, but I just didn't have time to read it.

When I read the rest, I finally found what I wanted to know.

The clone seen by the person who is under the illusion is the same clone, because this clone is a real illusion individual created by the spell.

The medium of the magic is to let the other party see the existence of the illusion clone!

Is it such a simple principle?

After I understood all this, I looked at my clone. At this moment, she was having a great chat with Sister Bai!

And that clone is even more shameless than me. Maybe that is me, but it is the me who has no scruples!

"Sister Bai!" I shouted.

"Hmm? Oh, Xiaohan, sorry, haha, this clone is quite interesting. I didn't expect that the other party is so good at chatting... Maybe this clone will also reflect my cognition. Xiaohan, you are not so good at chatting." Bai Yu reacted immediately, and he broke up the illusion clone with one attack. He came over to explain to me, as if he was afraid that I would misunderstand.

"Sorry, I'm not saying that you can't chat, Xiaohan, I mean..."

"Don't explain it like that. I'm not very good at chatting." I interrupted Sister Bai. There was no need for me to listen to this kind of explanation. I had a good understanding of myself.

If you can chat, you can; if you can’t, you can’t.

"Sister Bai, what do you think of this spell?" I took the initiative to guide the conversation and forced an end to this development that was prone to misunderstanding.

"Well... if you ask me, this spell is indeed very powerful. I also tried hard to distinguish the difference between you just now, but... it's difficult. Moreover, even if I know that I am under an illusion, it is still difficult to see through it." Bai Yuru said after personal experience.

Bai Yu herself also has this illusion clone spell, but she did not develop it too much. After all, she has many options. Besides, she herself does not know much about illusion. However, she understands that this spell is most effective at the beginning.

The freshmen had no special preparation and were basically unable to deal with such means, so after thinking it over again and again, Bai Yu cast this spell.

After a while, when Bai Yu is ready to reorganize and streamline his abilities again, he will see if Xiaohan wants to take over the rest.

Of course, there was a reason why Bai Yu was not in such a hurry to prepare spells. The time between the start of school and the confrontation with the freshmen was so short. In her opinion, it was better to have an alchemical item that could be used right away than to master a spell.

During the freshman competition, you are allowed to use alchemical items. As long as you can use them, external objects are also part of your own strength.

Don’t forget that the four-piece witch set given free of charge to new students is also an alchemical item.

If you really want to be picky about what external objects and external forces are not your own power, then can't magic sources and spell books also be attributed to external objects?

Strength is strength. You will never have what you don’t have. No one will be fair to you in the extraordinary world.

In the freshman stage, the four-piece witch set is enough, so Bai Yu specially prepared other things.

A pair of wrist guards to protect the wrists. This pair of alchemical items is actually two alchemical items, so it has two effects, or two solidification spells.

One is a body strengthening spell, which is used to enhance physical fitness in all aspects, and comprehensively increase strength, reaction and other physical attributes.

The other is a transformation spell, the cat-man transformation spell. After the spell is released, it gives the person the racial characteristics of a cat-man, greatly improving their own agility. The body will be as soft and agile as a cat-man, and these two spells can be overlapped and blessed, which is more effective in actual use.

From Bai Yu's perspective, these two spells are undoubtedly the best configuration, especially for freshmen.

The weak body of a newborn forms a sharp contrast with the powerful power of spells, so when fighting, you cannot blindly pursue the power of spells. Your own strength is also important. At least when facing the opponent's spells, you don't have the only option of resisting it.

At this moment, when I was carefully summarizing the spell information that Sister Bai explained to me, I saw Sister Bai coming towards me with something in her hand.

"Sister Bai, what's wrong?" I asked, looking up.

"Oh, nothing. Xiaohan will go to the competition the day after tomorrow. Sister Bai, I am still a little worried about you, so I also prepared this for you, Xiaohan. I hope you can be safe on the court."

"Oh? Really, don't worry so much. Sister Bai prepared so many things for me that I feel embarrassed to accept them all."

Chapter 145: Experience the Fireball Smash from a First-Person Perspective

By the time Sister Bai and I came out of the testing site, it was already evening.

Originally, I wanted to study magic, but it ended up being magic training in the testing ground.

At the beginning, I also tested the usage and usage restrictions of the two spells, and tried the spells of the two wristbands. Except for a little discomfort caused by the sudden increase in physical fitness, everything else was fine.

Sister Bai spent the rest of my afternoon teaching me some basic fighting skills. After all, I was really lacking these practical skills.

What I lack even more is the knowledge of the two new spells I have acquired.

So, I shamelessly contacted Teacher Ji Niang on my phone in the middle of the process and asked her to help me collect some relevant information and papers. Although it may not be possible for her to complete the modifications that are useful to me before the freshman competition, I still have enough means to do so.

My spells were not specially prepared for the freshman competition, nor were they discarded after use. In other words, my study of spell books was the norm, and the competition was an exception.

So after getting Ji Niang's reply, I was looking forward to seeing Teacher Ji Niang tomorrow. After all, whether it was the spirit cat summoning or the illusion clone, these two spells were very awkward for me to use. It felt like a fixed routine like playing a game.

I don't like the feeling of formulating battle plans based on spells. I prefer the feeling of using spells freely according to my ideas.

Others cannot compromise because they cannot do it. But why should I compromise myself if I can do it?

So after saying goodbye to Sister Bai, I rode my broom back. In the next two days, I plan to lead a regular life and get enough rest to prepare for the competition.

Even though this event is a surprise to me, I want to give it a perfect start and ending.

Back to the dormitory.

Then I saw Zao Zao sitting in the living room eating salted fish...Oh no, not really salted fish.

At this time, they were in the living room with TV on, but were writing something.

"Huh? What are you doing?" I looked at their behavior in confusion. Are they... copying notes?

I haven’t seen them work so hard before... But come to think of it, although they do look unreliable, it is true that they are good at studying.

"Reference notes, huh? Sister Xiaohan!" Hong Chenyi jumped up from the floor and threw away the notebook in his hand.

"Stop, why are you so excited?" I immediately reached out to stop this guy from taking advantage of me.

"Hey? Sister Xiaohan, don't you know?"

"What do I know? What else could possibly happen to me at this juncture?"

Probably all I can think of is the recent ranking predictions and the like. After all, I was just tested today. But if it is really because of this, then the other party is being too fast.
