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

Chapter 162: Huge and Complex Rune Ritual

"Are you... already so idle?" I looked at the guys who were huddled together in the living room of the villa.

"We can't help it. Classes are suspended during the freshman competition. We have no classes, so we can only go to watch the game." Hong Chenyi immediately made way for me and welcomed me in enthusiastically. "We didn't get any tickets, so we can only cheer for you on TV!"

"Anyway, congratulations to Sister Xiaohan for successfully advancing! Oh~"

"Sister Xiaohan, congratulations." Yu Yetian on the side also stood up and congratulated me.

"They're all here." I took a quick look. Including me, there were five of us in total. "Don't you have any activities of your own? I thought some of you would go to the arena to hang out. There are a lot of good things there, even spell books for sale."

"Hey? Spell books are for sale? Is this true? I have never touched a spell book before, what kind of thing is this?"

"Well, of course. You really didn't join in the fun? Dongli Yiren, what about you?" I lay down directly on the sofa and looked at the two people who were silent.

"Me?" Dongli Yiren was stunned when I suddenly called her name, and then she said with a guilty conscience, "No, there are people everywhere. I won't go to places with so many people."

"Well, I saw someone today who looked very similar to you. She was wearing the same clothes as you. We wore the same clothes." I looked at Dongli Yiren and said. Before, Dongli Yiren had always been wary of senior students because of the senior student who sent her here.

So it makes sense that she wouldn't join in the fun.

The TV that was on at the moment was still replaying the exciting scenes of the game. After all, the live broadcast ended when I finished the game.

However, the scene at this moment is not my battle, but the knockout match scene in the morning. Otherwise, if I were to review this scene again, I might be embarrassed to be deducted from the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

However, at this moment, these people were not interested in the pictures on TV. With a guy like Hong Chenyi's personality around, their topic shifted to me.

None of them is a class leader, which means that the current progress is basically zero and is still in the theoretical stage. They do not have many channels to obtain any resources.

After some investigation, I realized that they didn't even have spell books, so they naturally became excited when they heard that there were spell books for sale.

But when it comes to price...it's not so wonderful, and I can see their disappointment with my own eyes.

So there is a reason why a penny can make a hero fall.

After I satisfied their curiosity, I went back to the bedroom. After all, I couldn't always waste time. I came back so early to study the runes.

"Then if there's nothing else, I'll go upstairs first?"

"Well, Sister Xiaohan, you have your own things to do, so we won't disturb you." Hong Chenyi could naturally see what I wanted to do at the moment. After all, she has been a bootlicker for so many years, and her ability to observe words and expressions is so accurate.

So after saying goodbye simply, I also walked towards my room.

After watching me leave, the people downstairs seemed to fall into silence.

Until Yu Yetian spoke.

"Xiao Han has completely left us behind."

"Xiao Yu, what you said is not right. Sister Xiaohan is so far ahead of us. What does this mean? We can get the moon first because we are close to the water! We can avoid many detours in the future. The strong will lead the strong, don't you think so, Yiren?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

"It's a big deal, isn't it? Don't you want to curry favor with her? Sister Xiaohan is now comparable to Tan Han, who is the first in this class! Do you know how valuable this is?"

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. Tan Han, she is just a lucky person with a lot of resources. Don't you understand? The so-called extraordinary power is essentially two things, energy and the means of using energy. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than resources."

"Tsk, Yiren, you see things very clearly. What are you trying to do? We have to fight for resources. If our class monitor wasn't Sister Xiaohan, I would have fought for it. At this stage, only the class monitor is qualified to be at the forefront. This level of resource allocation is really enviable."

"Besides, I can't compete with Sister Xiaohan now, so I can only wait for Sister Xiaohan to protect me."

"Oh, Xiao Yu, Sister Xiao Han said before that we can get magic power and spell books by joining a club. What do you think about us joining a club? How about asking Sister Xiao Han which club she joined? Then we can go and get some magic power and spell books?"

"No, I've already joined the club." Yu Yetian shook his head and refused.

"Ah? What? You joined a club without our knowledge? Which one? I want to join too! What are the benefits?" Hong Chenyi jumped up immediately when he heard the result, as if he had been betrayed.

"I'm afraid not. If you want to join, that's fine. The club I joined is the Holy Light Club, which is formed by believers who believe in the Holy Light Angels. The requirement to join is to become a practitioner." Yu Yetian explained.

"Ah? Witch Academy still allows this kind of club to exist? This is not to help... um, anyway, that's what I mean."

"Witch Academy is an inclusive academy. At least that's what I've seen with my eyes and heard with my ears."

"Forget it, forget it. Sigh... Did you get any benefits? A spell book or a source of magic power?" Hong Chenyi asked without giving up.

"No, I joined this club not for the benefits, but to move forward with like-minded people and not feel lonely."

"I don't understand you cultivators." Hong Chenyi could only look at the other party with a speechless expression, "By the way, Sister Xiaohan said that there are spell books for sale in the arena, why don't we spend some money and go take a look? Yiren, don't you want to go and take a look? Oh, by the way, didn't you go out this morning? Didn't you see any spell books for sale?"

“I’m not paying attention to this.”

"Hey, we helped you hide it from Sister Xiaohan that you didn't go out, so why don't you show your appreciation? What did you do this morning?"

"Nothing! It's none of your business! I'm going back to my room too." Dongli Yiren was forced into a corner and stood up to go back to her room.

"Hey? I'm just kidding, don't leave~ Hey? Okay, okay, then... Hill~ Do you have money?"

"I don't have any money, but I have a spell book. I don't need it for now, thank you." Guan Qiuling, who had been silent and pretending to be transparent, spoke weakly.

"What! You have a spell book without saying anything! Show me! What is the effect!"

"No."

"Be good, Qiu Ling, let us see you~"

“Don’t be like this…” Faced with Hong Chenyi’s persistence, Guan Qiuling couldn’t stand it anymore and took action directly.

"Ugh?"

Hong Chenyi was stunned at first when she saw the energy glow emerging from Guan Qiuling's hand, but she soon knew the effect of this spell.

At this moment, a rope appeared directly on Hong Chenyi's limbs and tied her up very quickly. Hong Chenyi fell on the sofa before she could react.

"Hey? What is this!?"

"This, isn't this the spell you want to see? This spell can only be cast on humans, so... you'd better stay here quietly for a while." Although Guan Qiuling's tone was weak, he still said such heartless words.

"Hey? Wait! Help me untie it!" Hong Chenyi said hurriedly as he watched Guan Qiuling leave.

"Um...Xiao Yu, Yu Yetian, can you help me untie it?" Soon seeing that Guan Qiuling didn't reply to her, she looked at Yu Yetian for help.

"I'm sorry, this is a spell effect. Control spells are not so easy to break free of. I'm sorry, I may be a little powerless."

Yu Yetian glanced at Hong Chenyi but didn't go forward to help.

"Yu Yetian! You are a pure cultivator, how can you stand by and watch someone die without helping!"

"You're not going to die, are you? Come on, if you struggle you should be able to use up the duration of the spell."

Before leaving, Yu Yetian was considerate enough to turn off the TV. No one was watching it anyway, so it didn't waste energy.

In the end, Hong Chenyi was left here.

……

At this moment, I returned to the dormitory and opened the book that Teacher Ji Niang gave me.

After a quick look, I had the illusion of going back to learning the alphabet.

But the only difference is that each of these runes represents a different meaning.

There are three hundred such runes in this book! They are the most common ones.

The preface describes the number of runes as having no upper limit, and new runes are being discovered all the time, and this act of discovery will continue, so it can be said that there is truly no theoretical upper limit.

If we want to define runes, then runes are a kind of "ritual", and a rune is a ritual!

I have learned about rituals before, including chanting rituals, formation rituals, etc. These are common things in spell books.

And what is the ritual of runes?

Runes are "Rune Ritual", which is listed as a whole series of rituals!

You can imagine how terrifying this thing is, and it is a systematic one.

And many rituals, similar to the "Formation Ritual", have a type of compound ritual composed of rune rituals, and this compound ritual is the formation ritual.

Moreover, rune rituals have permeated almost all types of rituals. Even chanting rituals have the shadow of rune rituals.

Some chanting rituals give runes pronunciations and combine runes in a chanting manner, thus meeting the standards of chanting rituals.

Even many runes were extracted from these various rituals.

From this we can see the importance of rune rituals.

However, if I were asked to memorize all these runes, it would undoubtedly be a huge project. There is not even any pattern between these runes, and their functions are also different.

And this does not involve the effects of rune combinations. The previous article clearly stated that runes can be combined, but this book obviously does not mention what the effects of the combination are.

I always feel like rune science is going to be a cesspool in the future...

But today's time is limited, I can't finish watching it all, but if you ask me to start from the beginning, that's not possible either.

Because I saw a lot of familiar runes in this book, which I saw in the fireball and energy shield spell books.

Although I don’t know if it has any impact on my understanding of the spell book, it never hurts to start learning from something familiar.

And I also thought of the rune of the illusion clone. I didn’t see that rune among the 300 common runes, which means it is not common, or... this rune itself is a combination rune, a collection of multiple runes.

At this time, I only need to take a look to understand what the runes of this spell are.

"Have you read it? This rune is a combination rune. You don't need to read it. You should know it by thinking about it, right?"

At this moment, I heard a teasing voice beside me. Needless to say, I was the one who got hit by the illusion. This spell is good in every way, but it is easy to get hit by myself, and this clone is also very unique.

"Since you have so much free time, how about you help me understand these runes?" I asked, looking at the position of my clone.

"My understanding is useless, and you can't understand it. I will give you any spiritual support~"

"Then die!"

I didn't waste any time and just broke up the clone, interrupted the spell, and exited the illusion effect.

The clone just now was correct, she just said what was in my heart. This rune is indeed a combination rune, and I even saw familiar runes in it.

But I don't understand what this means.

But it doesn’t matter, you will roughly understand it by reading the book, and this kind of thing can only be accumulated slowly.

If only there was a spell that could help me memorize things quickly or something!

Since this is already an extraordinary world, it can't be that it doesn't even have the ability to promote memory, right?

I wouldn't mind the ability to memorize spells quickly or have a photographic memory, or even some intelligence potion.

After a while, I was finally driven crazy by these 300 runes. I really wanted to find a place to vent my anger by casting a few fireballs and blowing something up!

In fact, I have also thought about combining memorization with actual situations, such as directly using the spell book.

But the actual situation is not like this. If you ask me to modify the internal structure of the spell book, that is of course no problem. I am very brave. But if I want to touch the runes inside... that is something I have to think about carefully.

Changing these runes is just like changing code. Although I have never touched code or anything like that, I know that if you change one place, many places will have errors or bugs, and serious ones may even cause the system to crash.

I don't want to break my spell book in the dormitory.

It's better... to learn the theoretical basis first before getting started, unless... I really have a lot of spell books to slowly consume and experiment with, but obviously, I don't have the financial resources to do so.

In the end, after I had used up all my brain cells and patience, I had the right to take a shower and go to bed.

Let’s deal with this annoying thing tomorrow.

There are two games to be played tomorrow, but I don’t know which ones they are.

Since I can cast spells to my heart's content on the field tomorrow, my mind has become active. I have quite a few spell books now, which seems to be enough for me to waste. I might as well just pick a lucky spell and modify its rune ritual tomorrow!

Anyway, I don't feel bad about losing so much. These spells with little cost are actually in conflict with my Fireball spell in essence. Aren't they just the Transfiguration spell with a different skin?

For example, with this Wind Blade Technique, can't my Fireball Technique condense into the shape of a wind blade and fly out?

Of course it is possible.

If other people knew about this idea, they would definitely scold me for wasting it. Maybe this is a problem of cognition?

I looked at my spell book, selecting a lucky spell, and finally, I chose the Wind Blade spell.

It's decided to be you! Wind Blade Technique!

Make a sacrifice for my research on runes, and serve as a foundation for my next new step!

The selection is complete, so next, it is better to sleep peacefully~
