Chapter 504: Reduced to Bai Jie-jie’s Dress-up Clothes Rack
With the conclusion of the joint examination and the review conference, the first semester of the first year at Extraordinary Academy has come to an end.
The students received notifications about the upcoming holiday and important notes on their phones.
What surprised me this time was that there was no mandatory contract to be signed. However, I realized that I had signed something upon enrollment, so it wasn’t a big deal after all.
As a teaching assistant, I also received an announcement from the academy, especially wishing me a good time since I participated in the joint examination.
Attached was a travel guide for the Bobapop Islands, which was very considerate.
Moreover, all the expenses for shopping and entertainment at the Bobapop Islands would be reimbursed by the academy. Generally, as long as I didn’t splurge and buy the whole island, it would all be covered.
The Academy of Witches reserved a substantial island nearby solely for its students and instructors to enjoy.
At this moment, Sister Bai was accompanying me as we strolled around the main island.
During the joint examination, I hadn’t paid much attention to the developments here and there weren’t that many tourists. Now, it was bustling with activity and had a lively atmosphere.
A few days ago, news spread that a large number of extraordinary beings had gathered at the Bobapop Islands, leading to the neighboring islands being sealed off, which drew quite a few tourists to visit the Bobapop Islands.
From the perspective of extraordinary beings, this was quite strange; after all, extraordinary power easily affects ordinary people.
However, incidents involving extraordinary killings reported to the outside world were rare, giving the illusion that extraordinary beings faced significant restrictions. Additionally, everyone in the main world greatly desired extraordinary power, especially those who were not admitted to the Extraordinary Academy, showing a different kind of persistence.
In the non-extraordinary outside world, there were many unofficial organizations or individuals who relied on their talents, experimenting with extraordinary powers without formally entering the academy to systematically learn how to master it.
After all, there isn’t much of a threshold to extraordinary power; on the contrary, it’s quite common and easy to study. The reason ordinary people in the main world find it challenging to harness extraordinary power without guidance is partly due to the suppression available.
Most ordinary people cannot rely on personal strength to master the extraordinary because the outside world lacks effective meditation methods to train mental power, does not have extraordinary materials for foundational research, and lacks much theoretical grounding that lays the cognitive framework for exploring the extraordinary world.
Nevertheless, with news spreading about the Bobapop Islands, it was somewhat like trending on social media. Not only were the Bobapop Islands affected, but many other places too. Moreover, since it was the students’ holiday, the tourist flow surged dramatically.
“Sister Bai～ how about this one?” I picked up a hanger displaying the latest trendy bikini. However, no matter how much the sales assistant explained them to me, I felt these were just bits of fabric that barely qualified as underwear…
But after some explanation, I understood that bikinis are swimwear, and they are actually meant to be worn directly, so there were many more styles than what I usually saw in the lingerie shops at the academy, and the decorations were more eye-catching.
This was my first time encountering these items, and they felt quite different from lingerie…
“Xiao Han, don’t just try to measure it with your hands, why not just try it on?” Sister Bai did not comment on my courage to pick up the scantily-clad bikini but encouraged me to go try it instead.
“This girl has a really nice figure～ if you wear this bikini, it will perfectly showcase your body, and you’ll definitely be the center of attention among the men on the beach…”
“You don’t need to sell it so hard. Where’s the fitting room? I’ll take her to try it on.” At that moment, Sister Bai suddenly spoke up, her tone slightly displeased as she interrupted the sales assistant.
“I’m sorry, I misspoke… This way, this way…” The sales assistant quickly apologized sincerely and guided us to the fitting area without further ado.
It wasn’t surprising that the sales assistant was so nervous; as staff at the Bobapop Islands, they knew well this area belonged to the Extraordinary Academy, where extraordinary beings often appeared. Some wore extravagant clothes, some were plain, others were inconspicuous, and some even looked disgusting.
No one knew whether the person they were serving was an extraordinary being. Even veterans who’ve been around for years wouldn’t claim to have that kind of insight.
Even though extraordinary beings generally cannot act against ordinary people, the mere presence of extraordinary beings can instill a deeply ingrained fear in ordinary people.
The sales assistant had no delusions of luck simply because there had been significant activity recently involving extraordinary beings, and their manager had already warned them about the high number of extraordinary beings around, advising them to be discreet.
As a cautious individual, she certainly wouldn’t gamble with her life.
“What happened to Sister Bai just now～ Was there something that annoyed you?” I teased her while holding onto the bikini I had picked up, nudging her with my arm.
“You’re really asking the obvious, aren’t you?” Sister Bai replied to me, slightly annoyed at that moment.
“You asked me if I could accept it before～ I didn’t expect you to be unable to handle it now? Are you jealous, or are you protective～ hmm?” I completely ignored the expression that Sister Bai had, which showed she was close to losing her composure.
“I think it’s you who’s asking for a reprimand, Xiao Han.” Sister Bai playfully pushed me into the changing room and followed me inside.
“Hey? Wait, the fitting room is so small, don’t come in with me…”
When I realized Sister Bai had followed me inside and locked the door, I began to feel something was off… the bikini in my hands suddenly felt a bit too hot.
“Why not? Xiao Han～ can you wear a bikini? This one is a tie-on, can you tie it yourself? In the end, it will still be me helping you, right?” Sister Bai said with a smile, leaving me no chance to refute.
At that moment, I stared at the soundproofing spell that enveloped the entire fitting room, instinctively feeling a pang of anxiety. Would Sister Bai really…?
This place… I hadn’t tried anything here and had no mental preparation… And this was outside…
“What’s wrong? You chose it yourself but don’t want to try it?” Sister Bai looked at me with no motion for a long time, seeing my face turning visibly red, and not undressing, she reminded me, “Are you shy? Who was it that loudly suggested wearing bikinis for me to see～ Xiao Han, did you think you could deceive my feelings?”
As she spoke, Sister Bai placed her hand on the hanger holding the bikini, pushing it towards me, clearly eager to see the spectacle.
“Um… I’ll try it…” I said shyly.
Clearly, I wanted to see Sister Bai wear it first… but for now, I had to be the bait…
Not long after, I removed my light clothing and took the pieces of fabric Sister Bai handed over. Wearing such scant clothing… it was utterly humiliating!
Especially as Sister Bai patiently taught me the simple way to use the tie, along with some binding tips… I had to admit these things were very intricate. If it weren’t for Sister Bai, I wouldn’t have known how to deal with them on my first try…
“See, this tie can be knotted here, and then be threaded through, it’s very convenient for adjusting the size. It’s not just a slip-knot hanging around your neck～ isn’t tying it at the back inconvenient? Let’s tie it while you lay down～”
Sister Bai enjoyed this teaching process while also savoring my embarrassing compliance to her instructions, feeling immensely satisfied.
“What’s wrong? Don’t know how to wear the bikini? Of course, you tie it first, wear it, then adjust the tightness based on your hips! You didn’t think you’d wear it first and then tie it, did you? Or… you can try doing it this way too～” Seeing me pick up another strap with a tiny piece of fabric dangling from it, Sister Bai started explaining again.
“Uh…”
I blushed, quickly trying things out; I genuinely had no clue…
And Sister Bai displayed no signs of impatience beside me.
Perhaps only at this moment did Bai Yu feel her superiority as Xiao Han’s senior?
Previously, she had been shocked by Xiao Han’s various actions and had questioned the life of a witch. Now she realized that Xiao Han was just a girl who had only been one for about half a year. So many common knowledge about girls were foreign to her. This stark contrast was what Bai Yu found most enjoyable now, but probably… it would only be this once in her life?
After a taste of it, perhaps Xiao Han wouldn’t need to ask for help again…
It was vaguely sad, but it only lasted for a moment because enjoying the present was what Bai Yu should focus on now.
In the following time, Sister Bai had me try on various styles of bikinis and forced me to stand in front of a large mirror to look at my embarrassing appearance…
Whether it was the classic triangle bikini, simple and elegant, perfectly accentuating my body curves, or the high-waisted bikini, with its sides sitting high, showcasing feminine allure and elegance, each style provided different levels of comfort.
Sister Bai had me try on the halter and one-shoulder types, pursuing elegance and sexiness, which happened to be the styles she liked.
After trying those on, despite my strong physique, I felt a wave of fatigue. However, seeing how Sister Bai was endlessly enthusiastic, I complied with her.
Eventually, I also tried on one with a skirted design down below, which appeared cooler but slightly more conservative.
These lighter skirts provided more coverage, mostly made from sheer fabrics that were semi-transparent under the sunlight at the beach, making it even more appealing to Sister Bai…
Meanwhile, the other sales assistants eagerly recommended various popular styles to us, displaying no signs of impatience.
Logically speaking, they should despise customers who only try things on without buying, but once Sister Bai presented the reimbursement qualifications from the Extraordinary Academy, their attitudes changed immediately.
After all, such information carried weight!
Moreover, this reimbursement from the Extraordinary Academy didn’t even require us to pay upfront or go through tedious reimbursement processes; the entire experience encapsulated a single word: freebie.
In the end, as long as Sister Bai felt it looked good on me, she pretty much bought everything, truly maximizing the academy’s benefits…
“Wait, Sister Bai, what about you? Aren’t you going to try it on with me?”
“I have something prepared in advance?” Sister Bai smiled while patting my head and said, “I’ve been waiting for you to suggest this plan～”
“Wait! Sister Bai, why are you so cunning? You’ve seen me in so many outfits!”
“Then how about I join you in a bit? We can buy some other things too.”
“Hmm? What else?”
“Xiao Han, when you get to the beach, you’re not just going to wear your beachwear and wander around, are you? Don’t you want to have some other fun? Even if you want to lie down and sunbathe, you’d need something like a beach chair, right?”
“Oh oh… Sister Bai, just arrange it. I really don’t know about these things…” I quickly followed Sister Bai’s lead.
“You don’t need to know, just base it on your needs. What do you want to do on the beach? Oh, I forgot to ask, which beach are you planning to go to?”
“Um… the one exclusively reserved by the Academy of Witches, at least it’s all girls there. Sister Bai shouldn’t mind, right?”
“Oh? All girls? Does that mean you can feast your eyes?” Sister Bai narrowed her eyes with a smile as she asked.
“No! That’s not it! At least there, I… I can relax, right? Sister Bai, you were jealous of those men earlier. Now you’re not letting go of the girls? I just want to be in a livelier place without being disturbed or taken advantage of by the opposite s*x…”
“It’s fine～ Sister Bai was just joking. What matters is that you enjoy yourself, Xiao Han…” At this moment, Sister Bai seemed to realize her mistake, her tone softening immediately, “Sorry… It’s my strong possessiveness that made me forget about your feelings, Xiao Han…”
“Sister Bai, did you actually apologize to me?” I exclaimed in shock.
“What’s wrong? Can’t I acknowledge my mistakes? Or do you think I’m the kind of person who just causes trouble in your eyes?”
“No… It’s just that I feel lucky to have met you in my life!” I hugged Sister Bai tightly, and internally I added, encountering Sister Bai was truly a stroke of luck in two lifetimes!
“Let’s go～ Don’t get all sentimental all of a sudden. I heard there are various beach activities on the island reserved by the Academy of Witches～ Many students who performed well in the joint examination have also been invited here to enjoy. Maybe you’ll see some familiar faces.” At that moment, Sister Bai did not mind my sudden hug but simply spoke while pinching my cheek.
“Um… okay～”
