Chapter 1 Welcome to the Witch Academy Application!
“Hello~ Is this Yang Yuelan?”
“This is the admissions office of the Witch Academy. Today is the last day for filling out application preferences. I see you have not submitted your choice yet. Are you interested in applying to the Witch Academy?” I answered the phone, and a sweet girl’s voice came through, her enticing tone describing wonderful visions, akin to a witch tempting someone to fall.
Oh right, the other party does seem to be a witch, after all, she is from the admissions office of the Witch Academy.
“Hello, hello, um… I haven’t filled out my application yet, but… my score is just a little bit below your school’s cutoff…” After picking up the call, I waved my hand to demonstrate a fingertip universe, unfortunately, the other party couldn’t see my gestures.
“And since you already know my name is Yang Yuelan, you must know I’m a guy, right? Isn’t your school a girls’ school?”
“We are aware of that. However, because you are a boy, the academy will lower the cutoff score for male applicants. This call basically means that if you are willing, you can be directly admitted to our school.”
“Ah?”
I widened my eyes in disbelief. A girls’ school lowering the admission score for boys?
Is it because they lack men and need to recruit a few more?
Immediately, countless beautiful girls or seductive witches pouncing on male students flashed in my mind… honestly, it was a bit scary.
But! I’m quite looking forward to it!
As for my girlfriend… well… her grades are excellent, far beyond what I can reach. It’s been quite a few days since the break began, and she hasn’t even contacted me, not even officially breaking up.
The last chat we had stopped at her sending me a picture of her report card and the early admission notice from Aphhemia Academy.
What does this indicate?
It shows me that I have some self-awareness!
I still have a bit of emotional intelligence.
Aphhemia Academy.
That’s one of the three top-tier academies; it’s already beyond my reach.
But the Witch Academy I’m now on the phone with is also considered one of the top-tier academies, aside from the three major ones.
It’s just that… the reputation of the Witch Academy isn’t very good. When I first looked into the Witch Academy, I thought it was a girls’ school, so I didn’t bother to learn more, and the current online opinions are also devaluing the Witch Academy.
The key point is that the Witch Academy hasn’t made any announcements, just quietly recruiting students.
Now it seems they haven’t filled their student quota and have started contacting someone like me?
Not even sparing boys?
Moreover, every year when new students enroll, there will be retention programs.
That’s the academy forcefully abducting students to join the Witch Academy, which is also why their reputation is poor.
As for how the Witch Academy can be so arrogant, doesn’t the government of this world intervene?
The answer is naturally that they are afraid to intervene, they simply don’t dare!
Perhaps the people of this world have become accustomed to it and adapted to such a world. But as a transmigrator, I can see things very clearly.
The existence of academies must be an external entity, an intrusion from outside this world. They set up academies in this world to sift through talent, keeping ordinary people to maintain basic operations.
Just look at the names of the most famous academies now!
The three top-tier academies: the “Wizard Academy.”
It is also currently the only human academy. They claim to uphold the wizarding ideology and walk the extraordinary path, but I am well aware of the historical development of this world; there is no soil here for the profession of wizard to be born. This difference is as bizarre as how a magical world wouldn’t give rise to immortal civilizations.
The three top-tier academies: the “Holy Angel Academy.”
This is an academy established by the angel race. Moreover, the holy faith spread by angels in this world has now penetrated deeply into people’s hearts, leading many to worship angels, build temples, etc. Many take pride in being admitted to the Holy Angel Academy and becoming part of the angel race.
The three top-tier academies: the “Aphhemia Academy.”
In other words, it’s the Elf Academy, set up by the elf race. My girlfriend was admitted to this academy. Although I envy her, I… am powerless, so I can only envy from afar.
The teachings of these three academies are no longer about what fields of study like in my past life, then going out to work.
But how to master power!
How to achieve extraordinary!
Thus, the academy that teaches extraordinary powers is also called the Extraordinary Academy to differentiate from the ordinary colleges in this world.
This world exists in a relatively peaceful atmosphere, and there is even only one unified nation, speaking a common language throughout.
The authority held by the country isn’t great either, nor are there any law enforcement institutions that wield extraordinary power.
Because in this world, without entering an academy, one cannot obtain extraordinary power…
“Are you still listening, classmate?” A probing voice came from the other end of the phone, seemingly prepared for my refusal.
“Ah… Yes, yes. Um… let me ask, if I don’t agree, will your school come to abduct me to the academy?” I jokingly inquired.
“We won’t, we don’t dispatch personnel to forcibly take you. Usually, we only go after those talented geniuses.” The other party honestly replied, as if treating me like one of their own.
Upon hearing this, I swallowed hard. Is it really okay to directly tell me such things?
By the way, the Witch Academy isn’t one of the three top-tier academies. Do they dare to be so bold? Don’t those academies punish the Witch Academy at all?
They just scold them online and never do anything real about it.
“Hello? Are you still listening? If possible, please forget what I just said, thank you.”
“We are a serious academy, and admissions are based on our own capabilities. There are no outlandish behaviors such as abduction. May I ask if you are still interested in applying to our Witch Academy?” The tone seemed to quicken, as if sensing they had wasted enough time with me.
“Ah? Oh! Oh, yes, I’m applying! Definitely applying!” I quickly replied with a smile.
Even though the reputation of the Witch Academy is very poor, it is still one of the top extraordinary academies aside from the three major ones. If I miss this opportunity, I’ll end up in some beastman academy or in some unknown places called “wild chicken academies.”
Although the Witch Academy is a girls’ school, getting in is already a good thing. Isn’t it all about encountering the extraordinary and obtaining power, just a different path?
Moreover, I’m a transmigrator; my own capital is extraordinary. Even though I don’t have a system or some grandpa’s cheat or anything.
But being a transmigrator gives me an inexplicable sense of superiority.
And even though my grades aren’t ideal, and my mental affinity assessment is ‘generic affinity’, I have a unique understanding of meditation.
My score mostly relies on the scores I got in meditation, magic theory, and elemental theory.
Meditation is a method of enhancing mental power and is quite common.
You just need to close your eyes, get into the right posture, clear your mind, and concentrate. This is sort of a slow-cooked effort; over time, sleep quality improves significantly, and mental power also gets a slight boost.
It serves as a prerequisite for encountering the extraordinary; one’s mental power strength somewhat represents one’s talent.
Moreover, there is something I have not disclosed: I have been able to manifest spirit vision since I was young!
I don’t even know how to describe this spirit vision thing. The theory now circulating online is that after this ability opens up, one can see the “Inner World,” which ordinary people cannot.
This world is quite magical; the world we live in is called the Surface World, and the world seen after spirit vision opens is the Inner World.
Since I transmigrated and became an infant, I saw a vastly different picture of this world.
It later slowly dawned on me that this was the Inner World, and I had already activated spirit vision.
Spirit vision is also a threshold for joining the extraordinary academy; if by the time of the college entrance examination, one has not opened spirit vision, they will not be eligible to enroll in extraordinary academies, even if they score full marks. They can only attend ordinary universities to learn a trade and contribute to this world.
Although I will definitely end up as the bottom of the class at the Witch Academy, I believe that my talent can lead me further down the extraordinary path.
Although it sounds a bit **natural to say, if one doesn’t even have confidence, what can be said about the extraordinary?
I quickly chose the Witch Academy as my first preference and directly clicked confirm.
“Um… Teacher, I’ve only filled out the Witch Academy. Please don’t deceive me.” I reminded hastily as the other party hadn’t hung up yet.
“We can see it on our end; congratulations on making the right choice. Welcome to apply to our Witch Academy!”
The other party immediately sent their congratulations in a cheerful tone, and before I could say anything, the call was disconnected, almost as if they feared I might have a change of heart.
Everything felt like a dream.
Except in front of me, the application preference had already been filled with the words “Witch Academy.”
The other party was very efficient; it looks real.
I stared at the message showing “Witch Academy Admitted” with constant astonishment.
That was indeed quick; it shouldn’t be a scam, right?
But there’s no other way; I can only wait for the admission letter to come back. Once I get the admission letter, I will pack my things and leave immediately, without looking back.
“Bang!”
As the door behind me was violently kicked open, I had gotten used to it.
“It’s the last day! You don’t want to fill out your application, huh!” With a loud shout, a figure blocked the kicked-open door, “Did you apply to the Inferior Demon Academy? If you did, you could at least get 50,000 yuan. With your scores, what do you think you’re even trying to apply for? Hurry up, if you don’t apply, I’ll apply for you!”
“Apply, apply, apply! You take your little son with you! What is the Inferior Demon Academy? Even if I applied, that 50,000 yuan wouldn’t reach your hands. I don’t care to stay in this house!”
I closed the webpage with a flick of my hand. Without my password, they couldn’t check which academy I had applied to, so I naturally wasn’t worried.
“You! You! I think you’re seriously psychologically disturbed!” My dad pointed at me but didn’t dare to stop me.
Because I was sent to a mental institution when I was young, due to this reason, they don’t have much faith in me, their eldest son.
During this pro-natal period, they have naturally started opting to raise a younger brother, so right now I have a younger brother, and my mom is pregnant again. I don’t know if it will be another brother or a sister.
Moreover, my dad is worried I might suddenly go off the rails and hurt someone, after all, I am deemed a “congenital mental health patient.”
But I clearly understand that I am not mentally ill; I know better than anyone else. It’s just the side effects brought on by my spirit vision; back then, I simply had a hard time adapting.
