Chapter 724: Fortune Witch Weapon, Fool Dream, and Reverse Summoning Spell
“What is this thing?!”
When the people from the Wizard Academy took out that object, everyone felt a wave of heart palpitations.
It was a crystal ball, not very big, only the size of a palm, presenting a transparent color, and it seemed to contain something sealed inside.
Most of the students from the Witch Academy present were senior sisters, but they were not necessarily high-ranking members of large organizations like the All-purpose Association.
So they didn’t immediately recognize the fortune.
Their Spirit Vision couldn’t help them see the Thread of Fortune, and they had no idea about the concept of “Fortune Items”!
When the people from the Wizard Academy took this object out, it was enough to prove many things.
For example… there were characters in the Wizard Academy who played with fortune similar to the “Fortune Alchemist” in the Witch Academy.
And for instance… this matter had already involved Extraordinary Wizards from the Wizard Academy in this abduction operation!
“Do you really think we would be so kind as to tell you?” The wizards laughed sinisterly, as if they found it a huge joke against them.
These people were merely unaware of the truth; they didn’t understand why this “scramble” was initiated.
They gathered here, all driven by fortune; after accepting this task, they actively stepped into the web woven by fortune. When they produced this witch weapon capable of controlling fortune, they became the true masters!
To them, these two levels were different. Everyone on the other side was a puppet of fortune, while they were the active players in control!
“By the way, is this thing really useful?”
At this moment, someone from the Wizard Academy quietly inquired; not every wizard was aware of the fortune crystal ball.
But they had to complete the task assigned by the Extraordinary Wizard.
Because that wizard wanted to reclaim the fortune.
Yang Yunhan gathered a large amount of fortune under someone’s deliberate guidance, especially because of the connections stained with his abilities, which influenced the direction of the world.
This guidance occurred after the college entrance examination, but even before that, he had also gathered a great deal of fortune, which enabled him to touch the fortune distribution of the entrance examination ceremony, resulting in outstanding performance.
The purpose of the entrance examination was to select extraordinary talents; hard work was not the only path. Those with fortune were like extremely lucky individuals, and luck was also part of strength. The fortune ceremony of the entrance examination merely included a person’s fortune in the scoring consideration.
Even those without fortune, if their learning ability was strong enough, could rely on themselves to defy fate. If someone thought that simply joining a top extraordinary academy was defying fate…
So the people from the Wizard Academy were very clear that Yang Yunhan’s score was definitely suspicious. Although the entrance examination recognized hidden “fortune bonuses,” such scores were generally not acknowledged by those participating in the entrance examination.
No one liked “privileges” that weren’t aimed at themselves.
Moreover, they found out that even with the fortune bonus, Yang Yunhan only had a score slightly over seven hundred, which led to the earlier ridicule.
A genius… anyone who could enter a top academy was a genius in their own right!
Therefore, the people from the Wizard Academy were even more certain that if this Yang Yunhan was abducted into the Wizard Academy, there would only be one outcome: he would be stripped of that immense fortune power by the Extraordinary Wizards of the Wizard Tower, turning into a Fortune Witch Weapon!
In fact, those who were endowed with fortune also had a second path in the Wizard Academy, which was to be favored and invested in.
For example, Aen Galande from the Wizard Academy, that Child of Fortune was highly regarded, even after his first inter-academy exchange competition upon enrollment, he was hidden away, ultimately leading Lusen Polite to the Witch Academy.
Lusen Polite was the Child of Fortune who was not highly regarded; he ultimately became… Luxien in the Witch Academy.
Even if he hadn’t been abducted by the Witch Academy, upon returning to the academy, his fortune seed and all the fortune would still be stripped by an Extraordinary Wizard from the Wizard Tower who had their eye on him.
His fate could easily be imagined.
Perhaps unintentionally, Lusen Polite’s fortune seed allowed him to make the most correct choice in the Witch Academy, becoming Luxien and escaping the tragic fate of becoming an experimental subject.
In this brief interaction, the people from the Wizard Academy thought that this naive and foolish guy, who had no common sense whatsoever, would struggle to survive if he truly made it to the Wizard Academy, and at first, he even called out wanting to join them.
At that time, the wizards almost laughed out loud.
But now… the people from the Wizard Academy knew they needed to showcase some skills!
Fortune was indeed a miraculous thing.
If Earth Vein Energy represented “bearing,” then the life and soul material of people in the world were all borne upon the Earth Veins, living and dying, dying and being reborn, and this relationship was called the “Earth Vein Shackles.”
Then the power of fortune probably represented “pushing” and “enhancing.” All people in the world would be driven by fortune, and those favored by fortune could gain unimaginable power! This was referred to as an event node where dramatic turns occurred in the world’s script.
The Fortune Witch Weapon was a man-made “event node,” a product of the wizards’ wisdom, using the rules of the world’s script for their own benefit.
So after the Fortune Witch Weapon was taken out, ultimately… the one endowed with fortune was not its beloved Child of Fortune, but the holder of the fortune item.
However, due to its fantastical effects, it had many restrictions.
For example, the Fortune Witch Weapon could not produce fortune out of thin air; its usage was necessarily within the scope of a fortune event.
The effects it produced must have a positive effect on the world; if it couldn’t, once the item was separated from the holder, the holder would experience backlash similar to the “world curse” after severing the Earth Vein Shackles, and their luck would become extremely poor until the fortune affected by this fortune event calmed down.
What specific effects did this Fortune Witch Weapon bring?
The most direct was the enhancement of strength. The power of fortune could not directly participate in the concepts of “attack power” and “destructive power,” but its enhancement could allow the extraordinary power of the endowed individual to be maximized!
Even their consciousness, combat reactions, luck probability, etc., would all be enhanced; this kind of all-around enhancement would generally only occur in the Child of Fortune, and only at critical nodes of major event turns.
And this “irrevocable” power was whimsically referred to as the power of “script killing.” At least those who hadn’t broken through the script limitations could not defy the absolute correctness under this script rule.
Even those who barely broke through, if they hadn’t reached the extraordinary limit, would still have a formidable suppressive power, after all, they were going against the world!
This was the unreasonable aspect of the power of fortune—those under its rules could not defy the established script, so breaking this “established” inevitably required obtaining powers from outside the rules.
For example… the power systems of various extraordinary academies.
The power systems of extraordinary races were forces beyond the rules of the main world’s fortune script.
The more one practiced such power, the more one could break free from the constraints of these rules.
Originally, this was supposed to be the path directly aimed at severing the Earth Vein Shackles, and it was the original intention of various extraordinary academies to promote their own extraordinary race power systems.
However, in the Witch Academy, more and more people focused only on the magic source and spellbook itself, neglecting the development of the witch power system, allowing the magic source to slowly push the growth of their life levels, which led to the yearly decrease in the number of witches advancing to the extraordinary, with more and more being trapped by the Earth Vein Shackles.
Of course, there were also issues related to teaching methods, which was why the Witch Academy sought reform.
Not only the Witch Academy was like this; other extraordinary academies were the same, only the form of the Witch Academy was more pronounced.
“No need to say more; since things have developed to this point, there’s nothing left to say!”
The people from the Wizard Academy took the initiative to attack first. Under the enhancement of the fortune crystal ball, the golden brilliance unique to fortune resonated with every Thread of Fortune entangled with each person.
Just the first wave of contact warfare, the Witch Academy side felt a pressure completely different from before!
“Millien! Hurry and help! Their strength is off!”
“Hahaha! Realizing your own weakness, huh? When we played with you earlier, you thought it was real? Now this is our true strength!”
The group from the Wizard Academy was all enhanced by fortune. This sense of smoothness and ubiquitous good fortune brought by fortune manifested in every aspect of spellcasting.
At that moment, they were as if they had activated a buff in a game; all they needed was to enjoy it, as the entirety of the battle relied on fortune, because fortune would guide them to make choices more correct than subjective consciousness!
As Millien also joined the battle, the situation of the battle still didn’t improve.
“Yes! Come on… the more, the merrier!”
With Millien’s involvement, the wizards felt their power rising to another level. This whirlpool of fortune swept through, with Millien also representing a push of fortune, so her addition still couldn’t break the balance of fortune.
Millien herself was not very adept at combat; even at this moment, holding the Box of Books, she could only gain a slight advantage.
She couldn’t truly use the Box of Books, but she could use it superficially. Just like previously when smashing through three layers of defense, the Box of Books burst forth with internal knowledge power and annotations she couldn’t understand.
Although she didn’t comprehend it, as long as she could use it, that was enough.
Just as the battle between the Witch Academy and the Wizard Academy was intensifying, a figure was already scared by the terrifying aftermath of the battle, and he had to leave quickly!
No matter what, this was a very dangerous place…
“d*mn it, that guy is trying to run!”
However, how could Yang Yunhan’s fleeing figure go unnoticed by the Extraordinary Students? So when he tried to escape, both sides noticed at the first opportunity.
The initially one-sided situation instantly relaxed.
“d*mn! Why can’t we, enhanced by fortune, still crush you?” the wizard exclaimed angrily, looking at Millien and that annoying Box of Books, blasting Millien away.
Facing Yang Yunhan’s escape, they originally thought to suppress the Witch Academy and then come back, but the reality was that while they could suppress, it wasn’t thorough enough—by the time they defeated all the witches, Yang Yunhan might have already escaped who knows where.
Although they had a tracking witch weapon, Yang Yunhan couldn’t run far, but they were afraid that the idiot would get picked up by other extraordinary academies along the way!
“Fortune?”
Millien was taken aback, and immediately was blasted away by the momentum unleashed by the wizard, but that was it; she didn’t suffer too severe injuries because of this.
At this moment, the witches of the Witch Academy also reacted.
After all, they knew about the concept of fortune; they just couldn’t imagine that the people from the Wizard Academy could actually make fortune enhance themselves.
No wonder they felt the strength of those guys from the Wizard Academy was somewhat strange. It was clearly no different from the previous battle yet always felt frustrating!
“What should we do?”
“Go stop them! We can’t let them take Yang Yunhan and run!”
These two simple sentences instantly established a goal for execution, and the group of witches moved forward.
However, this still couldn’t match the speed at which the Wizard Academy reacted. At this moment, they were still chasing after the fleeing Yang Yunhan.
But it was unrealistic for them to just escape like this.
The speed of the flight witch weapons mastered by the wizards could not compare to those brooms in the Witch Academy; if they tried to run hard, they sure wouldn’t be able to outrun them and would be caught.
As the leader of the Wizard Academy, he knew that those witches on the opposite side were all vulnerable under their fortune enhancement.
But there was one exception.
That was Millien, who held the Box of Books, because when battling with Millien, the enhancement brought by fortune seemed not as “smooth” as when fighting against others.
So if they wanted to leave, eliminating Millien was a necessary step.
“Millien, didn’t you say before that you didn’t come to take Yang Yunhan back to the Witch Academy?”
“But I also came for Yang Yunhan, however… I may not necessarily take him away,” Millien replied, and since the other party was willing to communicate with them, Millien wouldn’t reckless.
After all, it had already been proven that they couldn’t suppress wizards enhanced by fortune in terms of strength!
“Then why did you come for Yang Yunhan?”
“Naturally for a promise; Yang Yuelan once said in person that when the scores came out, she would come to see her brother.”
“That Yang Yuelan is already dead! You want to oppose us from the Wizard Academy for such a trivial matter?”
“It is you who are opposing me. The plot that killed Yang Yuelan also involved your Wizard Academy, right?” Millien stated, had it not been for this group targeting Sister Xiao Han, she wouldn’t have been running all over the place like this.
“Don’t spout nonsense; that was individual behavior, what does it have to do with our Wizard Academy!”
“It has a big connection; do you really think Sister Xiao Han just got killed by you so easily?”
“You! What do you mean!” Upon hearing Millien say such words, the other party instinctively felt a tremor in their heart.
That Yang Yuelan… she didn’t d*e?!
Even if they firmly believed the fact that that person was gone wouldn’t change, the instinct to fear “what if” wouldn’t change.
“What I mean is…”
Millien raised the Box of Books in her hand; at this moment, she had already felt the power of the Box of Books bursting forth. This was not under her control; since it wasn’t her control, then who could it be?
Of course, it was its master!
“I am waiting for someone, and what are you doing?”
As soon as Millien finished speaking, a petite figure sprang out from the Box of Books!
And the figure was none other than the Fool Dream, molded into a Mimetic Soul!
“Fool Dream?!” This sudden unexpected development even caught Millien off guard.
How could it be Fool Dream?
Where is Xiao Han?!
But at this moment, with no substantial body, Fool Dream, who was only a Mimetic Soul, stood atop the Box of Books, as if just realizing something.
“Oh! Did Sister Xiao Han’s guess succeed? Then next is this…”
With Fool Dream’s seemingly self-talking voice, the next moment, the Reverse Summoning Spell ceremony engraved on Fool Dream’s Mimetic Soul instantly unfolded.
