Chapter 545: The Situation in the Main World and the Breakthrough of the Observation Technique
Several days have passed.
The horrific attack that occurred in the city where Tan Han resides has drawn worldwide attention.
For ordinary people, who have lived leisurely for so long, this was their first firsthand experience of the terror that extraordinary beings can bring, making previous lesser incidents seem trivial by comparison.
Not long after the explosion, various extraordinary academies expressed their positions, strongly condemning the instigator of the incident and sending extraordinary beings to provide urgent aid and disaster recovery efforts.
However, the repercussions of this event were far from over.
With the current societal upheaval and rampant doomsday theories, coupled with the inexplicable online outrage directed at extraordinary beings, protests against them have erupted across the globe.
Even in the Magic Capital, small-scale protests against the Witch Academy broke out, but ultimately fizzled out, as protesters couldn’t even locate the Academy, only knowing it exists in the Magic Capital.
As for why there would be protests against the Witch Academy in such a place, it relates to the attitudes and statements made by various extraordinary academies regarding the disaster.
While the overall content expressed by the academies was similar, these statements were aligned with their own positions.
More crucially, a Holy Angel student residing in that city came forward to share his account, which ultimately pointed the blame toward a graduating student from the Witch Academy.
He claimed that the disaster could have been avoided and that the recklessness of the Witch Academy led to the event.
This report once again pushed the Witch Academy into the spotlight of controversy, marking one of the most malicious attacks against it.
Even the Witch Academy, often criticized as a place where one goes to become a “street girl,” did not expect to face such criticism.
Moreover, being targeted by the Holy Angel Academy’s representative made it all the more unpleasant.
Although to some extent, they weren’t entirely wrong in criticizing the academy, as the instigator behind the incident was indeed a principal from the Witch Academy.
However, the top-level thoughts on this matter were unknown to the students, who were understandably upset by the unprovoked tirade.
This online feud endured for a long time, reaching a peak of hostility, with those behind it— the players— still referred to as “active grassroots extraordinary terrorists” around the world.
Of course, this was based on the nuclear incident not being revealed; otherwise, it could have sparked even more panic.
While the Witch Academy was facing immense scrutiny, another matter suddenly elevated the world’s animosity to an even higher level!
A super academy named “Abyss Demon Academy” was directly exposed for stealing the bodies and flesh of ordinary people during this incident. The bloody footage and photos elicited strong feelings of disgust from the public.
This Abyss Demon Academy was recently established, or more accurately, it had just merged to form a new entity.
The Inferior Demon Academy, Little Demon Academy, Succubus Academy, and others united to become what they claimed to be the fourth top extraordinary academy.
This academy had recently gained attention, though it struggled with its promotional image, which appeared “rural,” and their self-description as the fourth top extraordinary academy indeed stirred up some online controversy.
Subsequently, the Abyss Demon Academy became known among the public as a “mixed bag of rogue academies,” prompting similar institutions to mock it, suggesting that these half-beast academies could unite to truly become a “Beast Academy” and perhaps the fifth top academy.
Did they genuinely believe they could unite to form a “comprehensive Beast Academy”?
They had tried, but ultimately failed.
Nevertheless, these beastly academies have since been collectively referred to as “Beast Academies,” likely a reflection of their hopes. In any case, their current state has historical reasons behind it.
The key issue is that these academies are like a pile of scattered sand; none can lead as a genuine extraordinary race.
To understand the concept of extraordinary races, one must recognize that having extraordinary strong beings within a race does not mean it is an extraordinary race.
An amalgamation of Beast Academies without extraordinary races to lead will ultimately not be recognized as a top extraordinary academy by the Main World. As for the Abyss Demon Academy, though it is currently a laughing stock, it has already been implicitly recognized by top academies, as it is supported by the Abyss Demon extraordinary race.
One can see that if the mockery continues, it is the Beast Academies that might end up as the clowns.
However, before the Beast Academies become the clowns, the Abyss Demon Academy has become the academy despised by all!
It has gathered almost all the despised rogue academies and inherited their notorious reputation. Now, with the heinous act of stealing the bodies of the deceased, it has transformed from a source of ridicule to an object of contempt.
Following that, more shocking details emerged: the Abyss Demon Academy has currently kidnapped several students from multiple schools. In such a chaotic situation, they even forcibly abducted newly adult students who hadn’t enrolled yet, showcasing their arrogance.
There have been cases of student disappearances reported in schools around the globe, and these incidents were suppressed until now, only being uncovered due to recent outcry.
With this holiday beginning, it seems the whole world has suddenly encountered numerous substantial news items, possibly more than what one might experience in a lifetime.
Now, for some unknown reason, since that city-shaking explosion occurred, those players seem to have gone quiet all of a sudden.
However, only a few people, or rather, a few witches, have a grasp of the underlying reasons for this.
The reckless actions and greed of those game architects turned this adventurous attempt into one where the players gained no substantial benefits, even leading to the d*ath of four pioneering players!
Moreover, the normal “attrition” experienced by players globally has forced them to temper their arrogance.
The extraordinary beings in this world seem to be deeper than any small world they have encountered!
With their mischief curtailed and their focus shifted to gathering intelligence about this world, they have discovered more shocking revelations.
Firstly, concerning an earlier topic that had been hotly discussed online—the abnormal space tear above Horasso Swamp—an intrepid player ventured close to it and obtained crucial information.
That is, there is qualitative data regarding the eligibility information sample of “Sinful Star,” which was previously linked to the All Worlds Terminal, on the other side of the space tear!
However, this player was ultimately killed by extraordinary beings guarding the area when attempting to breach the tear to validate their hypothesis, much to their disappointment, and they were left with no choice but to observe for now.
Based on their deductions, the swift acquisition of the qualifications to enter this world and invade it likely isn’t a coincidence. The small world they had abandoned recently is too close to this one, hinting that a collision between these two worlds is imminent.
This assumption brought them great joy, as they had been hoping that world might hold a tech core!
Of course, everything needs to be approached gradually.
As they proceeded with their gradual approach, they discovered another gratifying development—the existence of multiple individuals with game qualifications in this world!
After losing track of the girl they had initially identified, they felt a twinge of regret; after all, to involve a large number of players in this world, abundant game qualification resources are required. These resources are acquired piece by piece, and without targets, what use is their plundering?
Yet now, another shocking piece of news revealed that there was not just one, but multiple exceptional individuals with such qualifications in this world!
This significantly increased their margin for error, as they were in desperate need of game qualifications!
……
In Principal Mei Linde’s office.
At this moment, I stand here surrounded by many witches. Under normal circumstances, the Principal’s office wouldn’t be crowded with so many witches.
However, today has presented some new challenges.
I observe the large observation device in the center, which has been further perfected. A huge crystal ball displays a silhouette that has gradually reduced to a tree-like outline.
It shows the underlying flow of fortune in an extremely abstract manner. Perhaps the surface-level information may confuse other witches, but it is crystal clear to me.
I can see the undercurrents of fortune surging within. Time has passed, and the holiday is already more than half over.
The fortune remains uneventful as expected, but at this moment, it seems to hold the potential for a major conspiracy.
What represents the players’ fortunes is gradually weaving into a small net, slowly drawing closer to the prey they have discovered.
This aligns with our predictions regarding those players. Once they realized there was not just one child of fortune in the main world, they naturally shifted their target, abandoning their search for Tan Han.
After all, with such a serious incident occurring, she chose to remain at the Witch Academy for her own safety, foregoing a return home, even though she hadn’t spent many days with her family; plans change.
Her family also hopes she remains safe at the academy, as this incident genuinely frightened them.
Those players desperately need to corner a child of fortune to obtain their fortune, leveraging that power to recruit more high-end players. Based on my estimation, if they succeed this time, the players they send will still belong to the high-end category. Those lower-tier players, who can’t even fathom the truth, likely won’t enter the main world in the short term.
Unless… they manage to accumulate a substantial amount of fortune and find themselves devoid of high-end players, in which case they might dispatch ordinary players for a numerical harvest, but that probability is slim.
At this moment, as I look at the information displayed by the observation technique, I am beginning to wonder which lucky individual is being targeted by those players. Currently, it does not represent the child of fortune from the Witch Academy.
Suddenly, I seem to catch a whiff of amusement in the situation; perhaps I should indeed step out and stir things up a bit—no need to do too much, just to inconvenience those players a little.
It’s clear that many witches gathered here are not merely here to observe the current situation of fortune in the main world.
They have gathered for a more significant reason, related to… the progress of integrating the small world into the expanding realm of the main world.
At present, I have some understanding of the world merger issue. There have been some problems with the integration of the small world into the main world, evident from the space tear crossing over Horasso Swamp; the problems are somewhat significant.
Thus, the ongoing space tear has ceased expanding because the witches halted their progress.
If they had continued as originally planned, the tear would have grown larger, and there would have been more than just one space tear above Horasso Swamp.
Currently, the witches responsible for integrating this small world into the main world have mostly congregated here.
As for the reason… it is naturally due to the breakthrough in observation technique technology, providing them with a more convenient tool for monitoring the progress of world integration.
The essence of fortune reflects the state of the world itself, and with advancements in observation technique, their control over fortune has gradually shifted from observing the situation of the child of fortune in scripts to detailing the state of the world more thoroughly.
Based on the premise that “child of fortune,” “script,” and “fortune” are all parts of the world, the application of the observation technique can no longer be limited to assisting in monitoring and layout concerning the child of fortune. It possesses a more critical ability…
For observing the merger of two worlds!
Using fortune as an observational medium to derive the actual circumstances occurring between the worlds is far more efficient than relying solely on experience and common knowledge for predictions!
Before this proposal was made, no one could have imagined that this observation technique could achieve such results.
Of course… as the original innovator of the observation technique, my status has inexplicably risen.
After all, I usually do not deal with matters at the level of world integration, thus I have no qualification to propose such insights.
However, after this idea was brought forth, I was fully involved in the project’s renovation, serving as a technical and conceptual guide.
Being part of such a historically significant event is something I naturally welcome.
Indeed, participating in this project has made me feel the efficient communication between the project teams at the principal’s level. Compared to the research I conducted on the Great Knowledge Tree at the villa, this feels almost like child’s play.
Nonetheless, I do not feel discouraged, as I am eager to learn. Moreover, the witch sisters participating in the project are very accommodating toward me, even actively utilizing the Great Knowledge Tree as a communication medium to enhance efficiency—a skill they learned from Principal Mei Linde.
At this moment, it seems Principal Mei Linde has just finished adjusting the setup and stepped into the central position. Her movements instantly captured the attention of all the witches, and once most of their gazes were fixed on her, she spoke directly.
“Alright, now we will use the observation technique to begin the first phase review of our world integration project.”
“This is our first attempt to integrate a small world into the expanding realm of the main world. If we succeed, this achievement will be recorded in the Grand Library! Setting the first successful case for our future successors attempting similar endeavors!”
As Mei Linde’s words concluded, the expressions on many witches’ faces turned vibrant.
I also understood what the so-called Grand Library refers to; it is the vast repository guarded by the Primordial Witch, constructed based on the original world of the Witch Race, gathering all records pertinent to it!
Any deed recognized by the Primordial Witch will be archived in the Grand Library, an honor that no extraordinary witch could refuse!
“Well then, I won’t waste any more words. Let’s begin.”
