Chapter 36: Has the Academy Been Attacked?
In this world, various items infused with extraordinary energy are quite common, although many are high-end luxury goods.
This includes, but is not limited to, various plant fruits, melons, and vegetables, as well as medicinal herbs that can be used in medicine, and even basic materials soaked in extraordinary energy.
More often than not, these are plants or animals that either mature while saturated with extraordinary energy or are grown in environments that contain extraordinary energy.
In short, they eventually become luxury goods for sale simply because they contain extraordinary energy.
Personally, I feel it resembles an IQ tax; after all, there have been promotions for high-energy materials recently—do people really think that materials with extraordinary energy are beneficial?
Aren’t they afraid of energy radiation cutting short their lives?
However, I am also aware that some extraordinary items can produce special effects under the influence of extraordinary energy.
This is undeniable, and indeed, some artificially induced plants need extraordinary energy to grow, and the fruits harvested are beneficial to the human body.
But that’s only a small portion; more often, they are harmful to the body, or simply ineffective. After all, you cannot expect extraordinary energy to enter your body and kindly help you enhance your physique and eliminate diseases; that’s simply wishful thinking.
The best outcome of extraordinary energy entering the body is its free dissipation without interference. If you’re not careful, it can cause terrifying internal injuries, resulting in a direct trip to the hospital or even to the crematorium.
Looking at many of the materials on the ingredient list, I see that many are ordinary materials, but some formulations involve high-energy materials—that is, materials containing extraordinary energy.
I took out my phone and searched; they are indeed edible.
However, some high-energy materials have been crossed out, presumably by Senior Tang Yihan. From the handwriting recorded in the margins, it seems that she found these things in the ingredient list to be harmful…
It appears she must have tried them out and ended up with a bad stomach?
I hope not.
As I flipped through the pages, I found many places with notes, so many errors—how did this book even get published? Wouldn’t it mislead others?
I was amusingly browsing through the contents of the ingredient list, occasionally glancing at some of the sarcastic notes written by the senior.
This was certainly much more interesting than just reading through the contents.
And time passed accordingly.
No strange customers had come into the shop, and there were no large delivery orders appearing like yesterday.
It seemed Senior Tang Yihan had been gone for quite a while; it shouldn’t be too long, right? Could it be that the materials needed for purchase are scattered everywhere?
Or is it that the senior has gone to seek out some quirky materials that can be made into pastries?
Thinking about this gave me a chill; the smell from the morning seemed to rush back up to my mouth.
However, at this moment, I was the only one in the shop. Although I felt a bit worried, being alone also meant I could do whatever I wanted!
My gaze was fixed on the exquisite cakes in the display case, each priced at an amount I couldn’t bear to spend.
And at this moment, with only me in the shop, even though there were cameras, the authority to monitor them was indirectly in my hands…
As long as I had a greedy thought, these luxurious desserts, though placed in a realm I usually couldn’t reach, seemed within easy grasp.
In the end, I still didn’t stretch my evil hands towards them, feeling that if I did take one, I would surely be lectured when I got back, right?
Those are items on display in the most prominent places, meant to represent the shop’s status.
Even if I could eat during lunch, I didn’t dare touch them; I still had a modicum of emotional intelligence.
Just as I was lazily slumped at the front desk, I felt a low rumble.
I quickly stood up, wanting to confirm whether it was just my imagination; after all, this place is not in a seismic zone.
But fortunately, nothing in the shop seemed unusual.
Could it be an illusion?
That shouldn’t be possible; Witch Academy exists in another space! Even if there was an earthquake, it shouldn’t reach here. Could it be that some senior in the academy is having a passionate showdown?
Otherwise, I can’t explain what just happened.
I approached the shop’s entrance and noticed that some nearby store owners were also standing outside, seemingly curious about what was happening.
It seems it wasn’t just a trick of the mind; something indeed occurred.
I raised my gaze to the sky, which was still blue with white clouds; it was truly nice weather.
At this moment, several seniors had already mounted their broomsticks and were flying up into the sky, making me, who was still on the ground, envious. Perhaps something unexpected had happened at the academy.
Could it be a gas explosion?
No, no, no, this is Witch Academy; it must be a magic explosion!
And after that rumble, there was also a deep, muffled roar that seemed to come from the horizon.
I looked at the seniors flying on broomsticks; since they seemed to be heading in one direction, they should know more than I do.
So, I didn’t hesitate to activate my Spirit Vision to look at them.
Instantly, everything in my sight changed; the academy street appeared to overlap with another city, which I knew must be the Magic Capital overlapping with Witch Academy.
What shocked me, rendering me speechless, was the scene in the sky!
A massive semicircular shield covered the entire Witch Academy, and the outside world seemed to be engulfed in blinding light.
It was a terrifying flow of energy, with a terrifying and complex level of information coverage—this was definitely an unknown extraordinary energy I had never encountered!
And it wasn’t just this one source of energy; it was a clash dominated by this energy.
The scene outside resembled a judgment day, with the high sun seemingly affected, transforming from a hot, harmless sunlight into a terrifying, blazing fireball.
The vast and unknowable information from the inner world crashed against my mind, causing everything before my eyes to appear as if covered in an unknown layer of mosaic, reminiscent of when I was a baby, opening my eyes in excitement to see such a terrifying world.
Unknown and bizarre.
I quickly closed my eyes; this was something I had never encountered before, a vast extraordinary power that I could not comprehend.
Thus, I couldn’t understand and subjectively shield those abnormalities; my head couldn’t process them into effective information, so eventually, a blurry mosaic formed in my vision.
If I didn’t exit Spirit Vision quickly, my head would be in pain for at least a whole day.
After exiting Spirit Vision, I looked at the still-beautiful blue sky and white clouds, momentarily feeling dazed, as the earlier scene still resonated in my mind, overlapping with the sun in the sky.
These stimuli kept prodding my nerves, nearly leading me to emotional collapse.
“What on earth was that?!”
My hand pressed against my chest, trying to slow my heart rate back to normal.
Just when I thought I could observer everything without Spirit Vision and everything would be fine, the sky displayed another anomaly.
This time, I didn’t activate Spirit Vision; was the situation outside impacting the academy as well?
It had reached a level visible to the n*ked eye…
