Chapter 447 Bai Yu: Xiao Han is Mine
“Hey~ There’s movement… there’s movement!”
As Dongli Yiren excitedly waved her hand after seeing the unusual activity at the academy’s boundary wall through her telescope, she couldn’t contain her excitement.
“What… finally some movement? My last chance to skip class without punishment this semester wasn’t in vain…” Hong Chanyi quickly got up and gestured with her hand, causing the area within her framed view to enlarge.
This was a small spell that Hong Chanyi bought herself. Its spell effect was similar to that of a telescope, with the only advantage being its convenience. As for what Hong Chanyi was using it to see, only she knew, like… now?
At this moment, not just Dongli Yiren and Hong Chanyi, Guan Qiuling was also pulled over. Yu Yatian seemed to have left early, so she wasn’t dragged over by Hong Chanyi.
“Let me see one…” Guan Qiuling also leaned in.
After all, even she was quite curious about gossip; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so easily pulled over.
“Forget it, Hong Chanyi, enlarge the view a bit; let me see too.” Dongli Yiren put away her cheaply bought telescope and joined Hong Chanyi’s gossip group.
“Don’t crowd! This spell’s view can only be enlarged so much. It’s just a small spellbook, so bear with it~” Hong Chanyi almost lost the focus on the little sister Xiao Han they were concerned about due to the two of them crowding her.
In the end, it was their curiosity about gossip that led the three to accept the difficult situation. After all, they were too far from that place, and they didn’t dare approach too closely for fear of being discovered.
“Eh? Why hasn’t Xiao Han moved at all? She’s stood there for hours; if she doesn’t show up soon, I might have to order takeout.”
“Not sure; the other seniors have gone up…” Hong Chanyi murmured, still puzzled about what Xiao Han was doing.
“Maybe the person Xiao Han is waiting for hasn’t appeared yet?” Guan Qiuling whispered.
“Mm… very likely. Earlier, Xiao Han said her crush’s name was Bai Yu? Has she been to our villa before?”
“Has she?”
“It seems there was once; ah! Xiao Han moved! Eh? Why did she stop again?”
“Look at the direction of her gaze; she must have seen her crush just now but is definitely running into something now.”
“That… seems to be the one, I’ve seen her come to our villa!”
“Uh… the one with a pair of twins next to her?”
“Twins? Ah, no way… Xiao Han isn’t getting cheated on from a long distance, right? Those two are clearly mentors…”
“Then it’s over… How could Xiao Han compete with an Extraordinary Mentor for her Sister Bai?”
Seeing this situation, the three instantly felt sorry for Xiao Han.
This was the first time they had seen Xiao Han so joyous, only to ultimately face this outcome.
“What should we do when we go back? How about we treat Xiao Han to a meal? To comfort her; even though she lost her girlfriend, she still has us!”
“Right, Xiao Han has never given up on us; now that she’s facing a low point in her life, we will be there for her.”
“Shall we prepare something when we return?”
“Sure, but let’s not make it too obvious; otherwise, it will expose our following Xiao Han.”
…
“Bai~ Sister~ Welcome back~”
Upon seeing Sister Bai again, countless words were swallowed, and overflowing emotions turned into a teasing tone.
At this moment, how I wished to pounce straight into Sister Bai’s embrace and feel her scent and warmth.
However, due to the presence of the other Extraordinary Witches here, I forcibly restrained myself and did not want to trouble Sister Bai.
This sudden “flirting,” even accurately calling out Bai Yu’s name, instantly lit up the eyes of the twins beside Bai Yu, driven by curiosity for gossip and entertainment.
“Xiao Bai, you really have some good fortune~ Is someone already falling for you upon arrival?” Miao elbowed Bai Yu, her tone full of teasing.
Since the other party could directly call her name, it was clear that they were someone Bai Yu knew, and their deliberate approach highlighted how much they valued Bai Yu.
What was even more critical was the stark contrast between this white-haired girl and the opportunistic behavior of those students; expressions cannot lie.
As someone who had gone through it, oh no, as a witch who had experienced it, how could they not recognize this girl’s feelings for Bai Yu that surpassed mere friendship?
It was about to overflow, alright?
It was great that at the Witch Academy in this peaceful world, students still had such pure relationships.
“It’s not flirting.” Bai Yu shot Miao a glance, denying her statement, before her gaze returned to me, filled with a strong sense of possessiveness, “Xiao Han is mine.”
“Eh?”
“Eh!?”
With these two sounds of confusion, they didn’t understand; they thought they were just playfully teasing, but Bai Yu directly dropped a bomb to declare her ownership?
This move left both Miao and He stunned.
“Let me introduce; this is Xiao Han, the kind of relationship you’re thinking about, confirmed earlier.” Bai Yu reached out, grabbing my wrist and pulling me into her embrace.
At this moment, I was momentarily stunned; Sister Bai’s reaction exceeded my expectations. Was she too decisive? But feeling the warmth from behind me, coming from Sister Bai, I subconsciously leaned in closer.
“Hi~ Hello, two mentors~” I waved to the two, “I’m Yang Yuelan, just call me Xiao Han.”
“Xiao Han, huh? I’m Miao, and this is my sister He.” Miao smiled, introducing herself to me, completely lacking the aura of a mentor, and there was no distance between the extraordinary.
“Xiao Han, how did you know to come here to welcome me today?” At this moment, Bai Yu subconsciously ran her fingers through my long hair from behind, allowing the silvery strands to slip through her fingers, finally twirling one around her fingertip.
“Um… the Academy Head told me to come, so I did.”
“Oh, I see; very coincidental. We’re also going to meet the Academy Head shortly. Is it Principal Mei?”
“Mm.”
In this simple exchange, neither Bai Yu nor I felt anything unusual, but the two beside us took note; as expected of someone who could connect with the Academy Head!
Bai Yu returned, and she had to inform her little girlfriend, going out of her way to welcome her.
At this moment, the commotion naturally attracted some people’s attention.
Other Extraordinary Witches, being mentors, watched with voyeuristic interest; after all, such situations could be guessed at a glance. This girl was an Extraordinary Witch who graduated from the main world and was meeting her former junior again.
As for the few fellow students, after several setbacks, the looks they shot over were filled with envy and jealousy.
They even wished the one being embraced was themselves, but they had to face this reality.
In this situation, to run into a senior they knew was not an opportunity many had.
As for provoking… absurdity, they were too busy trying to curry favor; if the other party truly decided to expose them, they would hardly withstand it.
Did they not see that this girl could converse with all three incoming mentors? As senior students, they had crawled and struggled at the Witch Academy for years, naturally seeing through many things; mentors were truly the absolute power of the Witch Academy.
Without reaching the extraordinary, nothing mattered; the academy had no talent theories. Everyone was ordinary, and under the transformation of the Magic Source, all beings are equal. Because of this, a few could thrive in the Witch Academy, thanks to the protection of extraordinary witches; that kind of existence was the true winner.
If envy was warranted, it should be for this lucky child who had a great senior!
The time of reunion was short; their arrival would not linger due to the students’ self-assertive actions.
Most of the students’ exchanges with these new mentors culminated in handing over their business cards; excessive entanglement would be counterproductive. Their visit could be summed up in one word: to gamble. They were betting that these new teachers needed a reliable student to assist them, allowing for discussions about teaching assistants after some time.
This was a gradual process; those who didn’t understand the twists and turns would surely not go far, and those people had long been eliminated.
Even if such a lucky person existed, they would be doomed sooner or later.
As the mentors departed, only the students left behind lingered, seeking their chances.
In the end, they looked at each other, many seniors glancing my way.
After all, in this opportunity, I was undoubtedly the biggest winner.
“Nice to meet you; I’m Vivian, can we get to know each other?” At that moment, the one closest to me took the initiative to approach.
“Um, I’m Yang Yuelan, but I don’t have a business card at the moment, sorry.” I accepted the exquisite little card handed over by the other party, seemingly out of habit.
“Yang Yuelan? Are you the Xiao Han who’s been making waves recently?” A glimmer of surprise flickered in Vivian’s eyes; if she remembered correctly, that Xiao Han was a new student, right?
“If nothing unexpected happens, I’m the Xiao Han you mentioned.” I had no intentions of hiding it.
After all, one should have different attitudes towards different people.
“Seeing you in person is truly more impressive than hearing your name.” Vivian scrutinized the girl before her more closely.
Perhaps this girl was terrifyingly famous among the new students, but in the eyes of senior students, she was someone who had only recently entered school and was already strong enough to be on par with them… a much more formidable presence.
And now they witnessed this Xiao Han’s relationship with an Extraordinary Witch, believing they had found the key reason.
But no one would find this behavior shameful; after all, weren’t they chasing similar behaviors? Having a deep friendship with an Extraordinary Mentor was, in itself, a reflection of a person’s capability.
With this introduction, many seniors took the opportunity to get to know me as well. I nodded and smiled without excessive words.
As for the earlier girl who had an unpleasant exchange with me, she chose to run away. I thought she would come over to apologize or choose one of the two options, but unexpectedly, she just ran away.
But I didn’t mind; after all, who would blame others when they were in a good mood?
At this moment, nothing made me happier than reuniting with Sister Bai.
Just a moment ago, before Sister Bai left, she mentioned that they would go to see the Academy Head. Although I knew the location of the Academy Head’s office quite well, I had no intention of barging in. I understood that although my relationship with the Academy Head appeared to be very good on the surface, that was not a reason for me to act willfully.
Showing up at inappropriate times could easily make the other party feel displeased, or at least, that’s what I believed.
Now that Sister Bai had returned, I displayed behavior completely contrary to my own wishes. Perhaps I had come to understand that I wasn’t simply yearning to be glued to Sister Bai every day, but rather, I desired a spiritual safe haven—one that I could reach out for anytime.
Yes, just like that!
Perhaps… I should create a special gift for Sister Bai, a gift that would allow her to summon me whenever she wished to see me.
With the research materials on the Reverse Summoning Spell that Teacher Ji had sent me, I had nearly mastered this skill.
Now, I wasn’t sure what to use as the medium for this summoning ceremony.
If I randomly sent out the things I had previously given, that wouldn’t do. So… what should I gift?
Me?
That seemed like a good idea. As this thought formed, corresponding ideas quickly surfaced in my mind. Perhaps a figurine modeled after me would be great, something to place on Sister Bai’s desk.
Ultimately, I took out several pieces of Secret Silver. Initially, I had planned to choose Aoqin, but the silvery-white color of Secret Silver better highlighted my white hair attributes, so I settled on this.
Then, I concentrated and generated a refining array with my hands, as several pieces of Secret Silver transformed into a soft, liquid-like fluid under my mental power, slowly starting to take shape.
In reality, extraordinary materials cannot simply be reshaped by burning and using high temperatures as a shaping method; extraordinary materials could also be damaged by the flames’ high temperature and elemental fire, destroying their internal extraordinary structures and turning them into scrap.
Red Copper, Secret Silver, and Aoqin are among the few materials that retain extraordinary properties under high temperatures, which is one reason they can also circulate as currency.
The most efficient and convenient way to shape extraordinary materials is through techniques in alchemy, particularly this material refining technique.
Not long later, the refining array in my hands faded away.
I then held a small figurine that could fit in my palm.
“Mm~ I really look cute.”
Pinching the tiny figurine between my fingers and facing the sky, the exquisite little figure wore a detailed witch dress, exuding confidence with a smile, one hand pressed against the brim of the witch hat, while the other held a book.
Initially, I considered depicting her holding a magic wand, but thinking my wand was somewhat unnecessary, I changed it to a book, representing my quest for knowledge.
After admiring it for a moment, I then solemnly stored it away, planning to give it to Sister Bai once she finished her business.
Just as I was about to head back, my phone suddenly received a call from Hong Chanyi.
“Hello? Hong Chanyi, is there something important for you to call me unexpectedly?” After connecting, I asked first.
“Xiao Han, it’s almost noon. How about we grab a meal? Yiren and Qiuling are here too!”
“Wait, you guys are suddenly addicted to dining out? Also, Hong Chanyi, didn’t you have class today? Why are you calling me at this hour, have you finished class?”
“Uh… about that, Xiao Han, don’t be mad; don’t be so angry… We’re just dining out by coincidence.”
“I feel like you are hiding something from me. You guys haven’t gotten into trouble, have you?” Hearing her tone, I probed, glancing instinctively into the distance.
“How could that be? We’re all good students! How could we get into trouble?”
“Really? By the way, you guys haven’t followed me today, right?” As I spoke, my gaze shifted to the top floor of a distant building, but there was nothing there anymore.
Earlier, I had a vague feeling that there was a slight hint of being watched, seemingly stemming from some instinctual sixth sense that lasted for several hours, and now it had disappeared.
“No, no!” she quickly denied.
But such a tone made me feel something was off.
“Is that so? Hong Chanyi, let me tell you something… I just got dumped.”
“What? Xiao Han! So you really got cheated on… um…” Hong Chanyi rushed her words but suddenly realized she had let something slip, quickly covering her mouth.
“Did you slip up? Just kidding, how could I have gotten dumped? But you guys… you aren’t just sitting around, right? The one checking me out from the distant top floor earlier, that wouldn’t be you guys, right?”
