Chapter 69: Senior is Crying on the Ground, It’s Really Sad
“You… what did you say?”
At this moment, Senior Ying Shiqian looked as if she had been severely injured, gazing at me with a “terrified” and incredulous expression.
“Alright, Senior, even if you look like you don’t believe it, that won’t change reality,” I said as I moved closer to comfort her, although I didn’t expect her to show such a strong need for attention at this moment.
“I… I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! We clearly agreed… not to learn from them… to keep our feet on the ground…”
Before Senior Ying Shiqian could wail to the point of genuine emotion, she was interrupted again by Senior Tang Yihan.
“Ying Shiqian, what are you doing? If you’re fine, come over and help me; there’s no need to make a fuss here!” Senior Tang Yihan approached from behind, not even bothering to put down the whisk in her hand.
“Yihan… I’ve been hit hard… I really need comfort right now…”
Ying Shiqian’s tone was laced with grievance, and as she darted past me, I even caught a glimpse of tears at the corners of her eyes. That’s quite a lot of grievance to bear.
I watched as Senior Ying Shiqian lunged towards Tang Yihan’s facial cleanser, but she was ruthlessly shoved aside by Senior Tang and fell to the ground.
“Seriously, Xiao Han is still here; you’re really embarrassing your identity as a senior.”
“Embarrassing… but it was Xiao Han who made the first move! You don’t understand, I was just talking to Xiao Han about meditation yesterday, and today… today she told me she has already succeeded in her meditation!”
“How can I stay calm with this! My image is ruined already~”
I quietly looked at Senior Ying Shiqian, crying and making a scene on the ground; this was beyond just having her image ruined, wasn’t it?
But at this moment, Senior Tang Yihan was also shocked by Ying Shiqian’s words.
“What? Xiao Han, you succeeded?!”
Senior Tang Yihan flew in front of me, even abandoning the whisk in her hand, completely disregarding the person crying and making a fuss on the side.
“Yeah… yeah.”
Seeing Senior Tang so excited, it felt as though this achievement wasn’t one I had accomplished myself.
“Then you’re simply a genius!”
“Yeah… a genius…” Senior Tang Yihan was also somewhat incoherent with excitement, mumbling several sentences that I couldn’t quite understand. “By the way, Xiao Han, have you confirmed it? Quickly check your personal data; if the meditation was successful, then the data should update to reflect that. Don’t just be joyfully misled.”
“Huh? Right.”
Having been reminded by Senior Tang Yihan, I indeed had a way to confirm whether I had succeeded in my meditation.
However, no matter how that supposed data was recorded, my ability to refine mental power and enhance my mental strength wouldn’t change due to mere data.
I picked up my phone and updated the data with my student card.
【Name: Yang Yuelan】
【Gender: Female (Witch)】
【Race: Human (Prospective Witch)】
【Talent: Spirit Vision (Floating World), Unresolved Extraordinary Knowledge】
【Identity: New Student of the Witch Academy Class of 1145】
【Magic Source: 1/1】
【Physical Data: (Expand to view)】
【Magic Slots: Cleaning Spell】
【Skills: Witch Meditation Method (Beginner·1 Thread), Basic Common Language of the Main World, Basic Magic Theory, Basic Element Theory…】
【Tasks: Part-time Employee at Red Velvet Bakery·Clock-in (Ongoing); Meditation Practice (Optional); Flight License Assessment (Optional)】
Currently, the data on my phone had not changed much.
The most important change was that the original entry for basic meditation in the skills section had been updated to the formal Witch Meditation Method, even marked with the beginner level and the number of mental power threads!
It seems this data recording is quite accurate; I wonder what the principle behind it is—can the Earth Vein explain everything?
However, the tasks had received quite a few updates with optional tasks.
Both meditation practice and flight license were things I had thought about or agreed to before.
So this data is essentially concrete proof!
As I scrolled down the data on my phone, I covered the talent section; neither “Extraordinary Knowledge” nor “Spirit Vision (Floating World)” could probably be disclosed information.
“It indeed shows I’m at the beginner level.”
I handed my phone to Senior Tang Yihan to show her, and after seeing it, she finally confirmed it.
“It’s real!” Senior Tang Yihan looked pleasantly surprised yet contemplative as if she had finalized something, “Xiao Han, would you like to join our club?”
“Huh? Club? What club?” I was momentarily stunned by Senior Tang’s unexpected question; it was sudden, and I found it hard to understand.
“It’s a club spontaneously formed by students in the academy, registered with the academy. Most students choose to join clubs to pass the time during their spare hours at the academy, and the academy also occasionally provides funding for clubs!”
“Huh?” I widened my eyes; I was surprised that there were clubs existing in the academy. Does it mean students are idling around? “But Senior, you still haven’t told me what your club is about.”
“It’s the Baking House! The name registered was Baking House, and the Red Velvet Bakery we’re in right now is the permanent base of the Baking House club.”
“What? So that’s how it is?” Upon hearing this, I began to understand; this was club space. No wonder there was a bakery here. If it were really for profit, the foot traffic is low; wouldn’t that mean it would suffer losses directly?
Even if the store manager is wealthy, they couldn’t be this reckless.
“Right! Even within the academy, the Baking House is quite a well-known club, especially our store manager; she is definitely the backbone of our club.”
“So… Senior, what about you guys?” I asked curiously.
“We… ahem, we’re one of the founding members of this club!”
Looking at the proud look on Senior Tang’s face, even though she was trying to be modest, it was clear she was very proud of it.
“What do you think? Want to consider joining our Baking House? If you join the club, the store manager will definitely cultivate you well. You have no idea, the treasures in the store manager’s treasury are all amazing things~”
“Huh? Are there benefits to joining the club?”
“Ordinary members might not necessarily, but you’re different, Xiao Han! You’re now a genius new student! The store manager cannot overlook you,” Senior Tang Yihan said, patting my shoulder. In any case, promoting it like this is always acceptable.
If someone as talented as Xiao Han joins the club, it would be a golden ticket to attract more newcomers.
“Then… can I get a preview of what treasures are in the store manager’s little treasury?” I rubbed my hands together and asked Senior Tang with a friendly demeanor.
I was already starting to look forward to it. Now that I had the intention to join, if I could really get good stuff, why wouldn’t I join?
I was ready to commit wholeheartedly!
