Chapter 584: The Beautiful Quality of Daring to Learn
A new day.
The improvement process of the Great Knowledge Tree has ended, and the newly transformed Great Knowledge Tree has a higher utility compared to before.
The integration of order has made the operation inside the Great Knowledge Tree orderly, and the application of Extraordinary Knowledge has also deepened continuously.
Just like last time, the development of Extraordinary Knowledge led me to derive the Great Knowledge Seed, and this derived sequence has dramatically increased the speed at which the Great Knowledge Tree accumulates energy.
Now, with the upper limit of the Great Knowledge Tree raised and its abilities enhanced, my inspirations burst forth once again.
The Great Knowledge Tree can do many things; for example, I had previously conceived a “channel” for information sharing, which has led to the birth of the Knowledge Sharing Technique.
Now, the Great Knowledge Seed is also going to collaborate with more people. Concepts like “nurturing” and “condensing seeds” have begun to take shape, especially after combining this idea with the concept of “information stratification,” which sparked a brand-new idea.
As for whether it can be realized, we will know after trying.
Finally… I position the Great Knowledge Tree as not a combat type, so initially, I did not derive offensive means from it.
Even now, I haven’t leaned the Great Knowledge Tree towards combat.
However… who says one must always use offensive means to attack others?
The status of the Great Spellbook is the highest; the reason I considered making the Great Knowledge Tree my means of countering has only recently emerged.
But I am weighing the pros and cons to see if this is appropriate.
The main reason for this idea came from what Principal Beif Alanna told me, threats from other academies.
However, after contemplating, I ultimately found that the Great Knowledge Tree is still not very suitable as an offensive means.
But… Knowledge Power can be.
And the Great Knowledge Tree and its derived sequence can become the best carriers.
Setting aside these less vital ideas, many things cannot be forced; rather than forcibly demanding, it is better to let things take their natural course.
As for now… I should prioritize the meditation routine that has become a habit every day.
However, after receiving the Enlightenment Meditation Technique from Principal Beif Alanna, I incorporate a periodic meditation after my daily sessions to activate my thinking. As for the body cultivation of the five senses, that has already integrated into every aspect of my life, so there’s no need to carve out extra time for it.
Today is a relatively special day, as the improvement of the Great Knowledge Tree has concluded. I also gathered a few Witch Sisters to explain the situation.
Mainly, I elaborated on my upcoming plans and arrangements.
The most important arrangement among them is the integration of the capacity known as “Knowledge Sharing Technique.”
Just like when I first revealed Knowledge Power.
At that time, I did not understand what that represented; however, now I know that it signifies the transmission of the manifestation of field order. It is a tool they use to perfect the Knowledge Tree, and now adding the Great Knowledge Sharing Technique means they can rely on the Great Knowledge Seed to accomplish even more incredible things!
It’s hard to imagine how much the Knowledge Tree sprouted from the Great Knowledge Seed would be modified by them…
But of course, that’s up to them to experiment with; after all, being able to try new things driven by their interests and inspirations is much better than being indifferent like a corporate drone.
After all, nobody owes anyone here; if someone wants to leave, or if a new witch wants to join, I won’t hold them back in the slightest.
Later, regarding the condensing of the Great Knowledge Seed and other issues, I briefly mentioned them, somewhat like painting a big pie?
But unlike that pie I painted, I will do my utmost to bake it.
For now, after discussing it with everyone, I quickly left.
After all, I don’t particularly enjoy staying in places like laboratories.
Perhaps it’s due to a preconceived notion, but the atmosphere of a laboratory always seems to be accompanied by seriousness and rigor, making it hard for me to relax. Let alone inspire any great ideas or thoughts.
To be honest, I prefer the previous villa; the atmosphere there is very relaxed. I’ll leave the laboratory to those professional witches, and moreover, some witches in the villa have no intention of going to the lab.
And those witch sisters seem to have gotten used to my absence.
After all, with their abilities, they basically do not need to consult me for anything they want to do. If they do need to ask, there’s also the Knowledge Shadow, right?
Plus, now with the addition of the Great Knowledge Sharing Technique, once the channels are interconnected, if they really want to ask me anything, they can simply do so perfectly through the Knowledge Shadow.
Of course, they can also actively allow me to descend into their consciousness as a medium.
After leaving the laboratory, the first person I looked for was Sister Bai.
After all, improving the Great Knowledge Tree took me many days. Although Sister Bai came to check on me during these days and sometimes even cooked for me, it was still not enough.
Now that things have temporarily come to a close, I naturally went to find Sister Bai first.
What’s more, Sister Bai even allowed me to set up a teleportation mark in her office.
“Sister Bai… huh?”
When my figure appeared in the office, I found that Sister Bai was actually not there!
However, the other three were present.
“Uh… Sister Miao, hehe~ Sister He, hello~” I awkwardly greeted looking at the two who were hugging each other and seemed very cozy.
“Oh? It’s Xiao Han~ Are you here to find your dear Sister Bai? She’s not here right now.” Sister Miao said as she tightened her grip on Sister He, preventing her from getting up.
“Yeah, that’s true…”
“Then sorry… excuse me…” I instinctively glanced at Sister Stasi, who was curiously observing me.
Looking at this awkward trio of witches… I feel like Sister Stasi has become a part of Sister Miao and Sister He’s play.
But looking at the situation now… Oh no, I’ve become a part of their play too!
“Not interrupting~ Xiao Han, you need to get used to it. Witches can express their feelings very directly; I’ll tell you~ Your Sister Bai secretly hopes that you can be in the office with her…”
“Alright, you two enough! Don’t lead Xiao Han astray!” At this moment, Sister Stasi suddenly stood up and scolded them, looking like she had been holding it in for a while.
“Sister Stasi, don’t be angry, I’m fine~ I won’t learn bad things just because of this.” I hurriedly stepped forward to soothe Sister Stasi’s emotions. After all, I am part of Sister Bai’s office, and creating too much awkwardness wouldn’t be good.
“I’m not angry, huh~” Sister Stasi let out a small sigh, as if adjusting her mood. “Xiao Han, since you have the time to come, you must have improved the Great Knowledge Tree, right?”
“Yes, it has already been improved to a whole new stage. The Great Knowledge Tree has also entered a higher level; Sister Stasi is quite attentive to my matters.”
“Indeed, after all, it involves the improvement of the Great Spellbook. Even I, as an Extraordinary Witch, would pay attention to such matters.” Sister Stasi, who had calmed down, returned to her seat.
“Is that so? By the way, Sister Stasi, do you know where Sister Bai went?”
“Bai Yu… She should have gone to find that mutual aid group. You should know she has been learning real editing techniques lately, right? That group is a bunch of witches gathering together to exchange insights.”
“Oh, I see. Then Sister Stasi, do you know when Sister Bai usually comes back?”
“Not too sure. Sometimes she comes back in the afternoon, sometimes she might stay until evening. After all, she doesn’t always return to the office every time.”
“Alright, then I’ll head back for now, ladies. I apologize for intruding.”
“Not an intrusion, not an intrusion~” Sister Miao replied with a smile.
“It’s fine…” Sister Stasi nodded, but her tone seemed hesitant, “Uh, wait a moment, Xiao Han.”
“Mm? Is there anything else, Sister Stasi?” At this point, I had already opened the office door, but at the sound of Sister Stasi’s call, I turned to look at her curiously.
“Well…”
“Sister Stasi feels too shy to say it, so let me help her out~ I think Sister Stasi wants to ask you if your research laboratory for the Great Spellbook is still accepting witches.” Seeing Sister Stasi stammer, Sister Miao quickly clarified.
“Huh?”
“Miao! This is my business! No need for you to b*tt in!” Sister Stasi turned around in embarrassment to address the two witches, but she did not outright deny the implication of Sister Miao’s statement, suggesting that she might be onto something.
“Sister Stasi, are you interested in participating in the Great Spellbook project?” I formally asked, realizing why she had been so attentive when I was improving the Great Knowledge Tree.
Although being attentive doesn’t necessarily mean she is interested in the Great Spellbook project, a witch interested in the Great Spellbook would likely be keen on the improvement of my Great Knowledge Tree.
“Uh… well… is that alright?” Sister Stasi, seeing me inquire directly, finally spoke her mind.
She herself is an academically inclined witch with a great interest in the Great Spellbook, as its content is exceptionally valuable!
She entered the Main World in the same batch as Bai Yu and had heard about several research projects involving the Great Spellbook here, hence she initially entered as an instructor to gain experience and look for more opportunities.
She didn’t feel too hurried; she had her preliminary plans. But witches… are always afraid of comparisons.
She had inquired about Extraordinary Knowledge and the production of the Great Spellbook project, but she currently seemed to lack the qualifications to get involved.
Unless she had an established project on Exceptional Knowledge, she had no means to initiate research in this area. Otherwise, nothing of hers would be of any significance given her knowledge.
However, learning that her colleague’s “Little Witch” girlfriend could research the Great Spellbook hit her hard.
Then she came into contact with the Great Knowledge Seed, giving her the opportunity to quickly accumulate knowledge related to extraordinary skills, instantly shortening the time in her planning.
So… she truly wanted to access the research of the Great Spellbook to accumulate experience for herself.
Thus, she set her sights here, as it would be easier to secure such connections through existing relationships. Even if she couldn’t arrange her entry into the research of the Great Spellbook, she could still gain relevant experience from witches who had worked on Exceptional Knowledge or the Great Spellbook.
“Of course, you can.”
“Ah? Really?” Sister Stasi couldn’t quite believe how readily I agreed!
She hadn’t even introduced what skills she was proficient in, what topics she had studied, or what certificates she had obtained, and I just agreed!
“My laboratory actually has no significant thresholds; it’s mainly a gathering of people driven by interest, plus it might be completely different from the Great Spellbook research project you know…”
“It’s… it’s okay! As long as I can get involved with the Great Spellbook research!” Sister Stasi spoke excitedly, almost incoherently.
But at this moment, what she needed most was indeed to gain experience related to the research of the Great Spellbook.
She had thought that Xiao Han’s research team might not be very professional, or even half-baked, since after all, the other party is merely a Little Witch. How could they possibly attract powerful witches skilled in the research of the Great Spellbook to assist her?
Thus, all she needed now was a qualification. Even if it was just a crowd of witches playing around, Xiao Han is a genuine witch with the Great Spellbook!
Moreover… with two volumes at once.
Even if it were a completed Great Spellbook, she wouldn’t mind.
“Alright… then I won’t push for more. Sister Stasi, if you’re genuinely interested in this, just come to my laboratory. We welcome any witch at any time, and if it doesn’t meet your expectations, you can leave whenever you want.”
“No worries, as long as I have this opportunity, I will cherish it.” Sister Stasi took a few deep breaths to calm her excitement. After all, everyone, even a witch, experiences a mix of nerves or excitement when faced with something new.
“Since that’s settled, I’ll take my leave now.”
“Mm, take care.”
After a simple farewell, I left Sister Bai’s office.
I have no doubts about Sister Stasi joining my laboratory; she’s free to come as she pleases. This is the Witch Academy; the name carries the essence of learning— even instructors have the right to learn. No one comes in knowing everything; even Extraordinary Witches are the same. Daring to learn is the true beautiful quality.
Actually, I wanted to mention that my former advisor, Teacher Ji, has formed a professional research team for Extraordinary Knowledge.
But after thinking it over… I didn’t want to introduce her to Teacher Ji just yet.
After all, relationships shouldn’t be used this way, right?
Perhaps I’ll wait until Sister Stasi can no longer stay in my laboratory or isn’t learning anything anymore before I dare to introduce her to Teacher Ji. After all, Teacher Ji’s research on Extraordinary Knowledge isn’t as carefree as the environment in my lab. The philosophies differ, and it would be presumptuous not to make any changes.
Now, having left the office, I am contemplating what to do next.
I seem to have many things to accomplish, but none of them are particularly urgent.
After finishing the improvement of the Great Knowledge Tree, taking a short break seems reasonable, right?
How about… going to Sister Bai’s villa and surprising her tonight?
