Chapter 727: Entering Witch Academy
Witch Academy.
Through spatial teleportation, I brought Yang Yunhan to Witch Academy behind the Magic Capital.
Since I didn’t pick up the admission notice, I had to rely on a teleportation spell to tear through space and bring him directly into the Witch Academy.
Looking at the long-missed gateway of the Witch Academy, although it’s merely a symbolic landmark, it still represents a starting point for the academy.
I hope the registration is still at that central square afterwards.
“Although the Witch Academy is said to be located in the Magic Capital, it is essentially built on another spatial layer above the Magic Capital. It’s easy to come here, but getting out… is not possible at all.” After putting Yang Yunhan down, I spoke as I watched him fall to the ground.
I had relied on a one-way ticket provided by the admission notice to get into Witch Academy, but for him… there was no need to be that particular.
Back then, Sister Bai had welcomed me here and even accepted a task, but I also didn’t need that, after all… I’m a teaching assistant.
I took a few steps and stopped, looking back at him.
“Not going? If you think this is a silent rebellion, I don’t mind telling you just how powerless your so-called resistance really is.”
After saying this, I squatted down and picked up a nearby Yu Lan, speaking again, “If you stay here and don’t leave, I can’t guarantee that after I leave, you won’t be taken away by some perverted senior who will drain you dry and whatnot. Furthermore… I must tell you that you have already entered Witch Academy. If you don’t follow me through the enrollment process… you won’t even have student status. If you are taken to strange places, like… the Street of Elegance… hehe.”
After a series of internal struggles, Yang Yunhan ultimately gritted his teeth and followed me.
Seeing that he was so easily persuaded, I didn’t bother saying more to him.
Actually, after taking care of Yang Yunhan, I planned to go snag some more new students.
It’s not that I’m looking for fun, but it wouldn’t hurt to have some entertainment along the way.
The reason I want to do this is actually to observe how the magic source affects ordinary people during the “initial witch transformation” state.
This greatly aids my understanding of the nature of the magic source. Right now for me, layering on the magic source is just an increase in quantity without much practical significance.
However, the transformation technique of the body within the magic source is immensely valuable for me.
If this technique could be integrated into the resurrection spellbook, combined with the Magic Source Body Cultivation Method, it might result in a different kind of resurrection spell, or even… step outside the realm of resurrection spells.
Regarding the transformation of self-generated magic, I initially approached it from the perspective of resurrection spells, but that doesn’t mean the ultimate technique must center around resurrection spells. Therefore, I shouldn’t rigidly define my thoughts; everything is aimed at the final outcome.
So in order to carry out this “compliant” experiment, I casually brought over some young boys to the academy… which isn’t much, right?
As for why I’m snagging boys… it’s naturally because the transformation into witches affects boys the most.
This is the normal enrollment process, and I’m just collecting some data, which is quite normal.
I have to say, it hasn’t been long since the scores were published and the system for filling out applications opened. The previous commotion has mostly happened in the afternoon.
Perhaps Yang Yunhan will become the fastest enrolled student this year, especially since regular students are still waiting to fill out applications and then waiting for admission notices.
The so-called “snatching” people is a feat that, for most students, is out of reach and desirable!
It’s like no one would want to get snatched every day, while those who are snatched would curse it each day.
It’s a true reflection of the disconnect between people’s joys and sorrows.
My appearance soon attracted quite a bit of attention, but it didn’t seem to cause much of a commotion since there weren’t many people passing by the academy gate at this time. Moreover, since it’s a break, aside from the students who are here to snag others, who else would run over here for no reason?
Of course, more importantly… many within Witch Academy are imitating me, and it seems the number of people with dyed white hair has also increased.
Currently, the “d*ath” news being spread about me online has become widespread, to the point where many don’t even connect me with my identity.
I must say this feeling is quite strange.
But before that… there’s still a very important thing to do. I stopped in my tracks and took out a magic source.
I used to think that each new student’s magic source was provided by the seniors themselves, which seemed quite a pity.
But now I realize, it’s really not that significant.
One could say that snatching people is a “high-end game” only wealthy seniors could play.
“You! What are you going to do now?” Seeing me stop, Yang Yunhan looked at me warily. Although he had awakened his Spirit Vision, he lacked flexible control over it and only had an ordinary perspective. He hadn’t yet seen what I was holding in my hand.
“Hmph~ Of course, it’s a tradition well-liked by each cohort at Witch Academy.”
I teased him while playing with the magic source in my hand.
“Sister Xiao Han, what is the tradition of Witch Academy?” At this moment, Yu Lan on my shoulder curiously asked. She genuinely didn’t know what that meant since Fool Dream hadn’t gone through these events.
“Tradition is… the seniors at Witch Academy turning the students they snatch into witches.” I emphasized the last part, and then looked at Yang Yunhan, whose expression immediately tightened. “You should be grateful that I brought you to Witch Academy; if it were another senior… it wouldn’t be as kind.”
“You! Don’t come near!” Yang Yunhan shouted at me loudly, his voice carrying a hint of trying to attract others’ attention, seeking help.
“Stupid choice. By yelling like that, more people on the roadside are looking over, right? Do you think they’ll help you by shouting? What are you thinking?” I glanced to the side and smiled at a few students who turned to look, receiving their understanding smiles in return.
“See? No one cares about your feelings. They’ll at most stop to enjoy what I’m about to do to you.”
“You! This academy is a den of demons! You are simply a devil!”
“Go ahead, scream… savor your current status, speak a bit more, because soon, there will be no opportunities.”
I said to Yang Yunhan without concern. I was no longer interested in what he thought and was even beginning to enjoy this despair coming from him. However, it was regrettable that it wasn’t despairing enough; it still lacked some hysteria.
But then again, he is a coward, a person who goes with the flow. His life is very contradictory; when I was still around, he was pampered and cherished, but after my departure, he became a punching bag for the family.
Yet, this cannot change the fact that the family was utterly terrible. Even during the phase when his parents would still love him, that family was still suffocating.
“It’s okay, pain is just a fleeting moment.”
I vaguely remembered when Sister Bai inserted it into me, she cast a deep sleep spell, so I didn’t feel much pain.
“Don’t… don’t come near… ah ah ah!”
Before Yang Yunhan could say anything further, I forcefully inserted the magic source into his chest.
“Deep sleep, sleep for a while.” I also cast a sleep spell on him.
My intention was not to torture anyone; physical pain had no meaning. Moreover, excessive painful screams would affect my observations and data collection.
And just as I inserted the magic source, the students who had been lingering by the roadside began to take out their phones to record. After all, this once-a-year entertainment and topic were the limited fun of the year.
These videos would likely circulate online throughout the academy for the entire holiday. Even after the semester starts, they would still be the talk of the town.
I didn’t mind them filming this; after all, it would be a hardship that Yang Yunhan would experience later. Within Witch Academy, he… no, she, would undoubtedly face a very arduous journey.
Once the magic source was inserted into Yang Yunhan’s body, I also activated my subjective sense of time, watching as the magic source, upon entering a human body, unleashed such tremendous power!
Previously, I had not witnessed this firsthand due to being in a deep sleep but vaguely recalled Sister Bai showing me the experiences of other boys.
Back then, Sister Bai did not know that I truly wouldn’t mind living life in a different gender.
Are there really many people in life who care so much about gender? Actually, once life has dulled the sharp edges, what one cares about becomes unimportant; what matters is how to learn to enjoy.
The conversion time of the magic source on the body exceeded my expectations, and so did the utilization rate of the magic.
I had only been able to discern that magic turned into light and heat when it dissipated, causing the magic source to emit light when inserted. But now looking back, the magic contained within a magic source converting into this little light and heat is quite shocking.
Moreover, this magic source’s reshaping of the body left me a bit confused. It didn’t seem like a resurrection spell; rather, it seemed like a body-rejuvenation spell.
In other words, this magic source, a mere point of magic, achieved the same effect as my previous hundreds of points of magic-consuming flesh rejuvenation spellbook, and did it even better.
Is that possible?
The magic source is not a spellbook; it’s merely a continuously regenerating point of magic with no spell structure inside, only… that special structure I had once understood.
Or perhaps my thinking is flawed…
Body alterations might not be achievable solely through resurrection spells or body rejuvenation.
It seems that just observing once might not be enough.
After a short wait, once Yang Yunhan’s condition stabilized, at this moment… no, she should be referred to as “her” now.
She lay collapsed on the ground. The clothes she wore were still her original ones, and after all that she had undergone, she looked somewhat disheveled.
Her originally short hair had transformed into long hair, flowing on the ground, her chest slightly protruding, the gender characteristics typical of girls beginning to manifest.
Though upon close inspection, one could still vaguely discern her previous appearance.
Currently, the overall look presented a sort of androgynous beauty, not stunning but rather the type that one wouldn’t recognize in a crowd.
But in the context of the academy, the saying that “there are no ugly witches” is not unfounded. If Yang Yunhan were placed outside, she would at least be the type turning heads as people pass by.
This time, I picked her up, used a cleaning spell to remove some dust, then prepared to go straight through the enrollment process.
I wonder if the process this semester is different from last year.
After all, with the spread of the Knowledge Seed, that has replaced many things.
However, within Witch Academy, if one wants to replace something, it also requires a big move, and many things would need to change together, which also counts as a major operation.
“Hello~ You brought a new student for enrollment so early? I remember the application fill-out just opened in the morning, right?”
In the square, the registration area hadn’t changed, but the person in front of me seemed to be a different one from last year, and she spoke more than the previous senior and was quite enthusiastic, “Hmm? Passed out, this outfit… you inserted the magic source so early? She’s quite a cute boy, right~? Hey? You look a bit familiar… are you a fervent fan of Sister Xiao Han?”
“Yeah, it was indeed a bit early to insert it, but he isn’t a very cute boy; he’s a boy needing proper education,” I replied with a smile.
“Really? You brought her over so quickly; tell me, have you had your eye on her for a long time?” The senior in charge of registration seemed to enjoy chatting, perhaps because she was quite free at this stage?
“Yes, I’ve had my eyes on her for a while now, but only made my decision today.”
“Alright~ Since she’s passed out, please confirm her enrollment information, what was her original name?”
“You’re now directly using the Knowledge Seed to register instead of devices?” I asked in surprise, “Her name is Yang Yunhan, yes, that’s the name.”
“Of course, using the Knowledge Seed is very convenient… wait, did you say her name?” The registration senior, who initially seemed eager to chat, quickly reacted as if she had seen a ghost!
“Her name is Yang Yunhan, my younger brother, or rather, my former younger brother.”
“She… you, ma’am!” At this moment, the girl suddenly realized as her eyes widened in disbelief, pointing at me, “You… you are Teaching Assistant Xiao Han?!”
“Is it necessary to be that surprised?” I said, slightly massaging my temples, feeling a bit helpless. With her shout, all eyes in the vicinity turned towards us.
“You… you’re not… dead? The instructors all…”
“Did you witness my d*ath with your own eyes? There’s so much black material about me spreading online now, and they’ve begun to joke about me being dead?”
“N-no! That’s not what I meant!” The girl hurriedly tried to explain in a panic!
“If you didn’t mean that, quickly help me enroll this foolish brother of mine, oh no, this foolish sister of mine, okay~” I said while tugging at the back of Yang Yunhan’s collar. I must say, she felt noticeably lighter after transforming into a girl; it was easy to lift her.
“Okay! Alright! I’ll take care of it for you!” After experiencing such a shocking event, the girl suppressed her inner shock and excitement, managing to keep her chatter under control for a moment.
She truly had too many questions she wanted to ask this “legend” of Witch Academy face-to-face!
However, directly inquiring now was quite inconvenient.
“Just a curious question, is the enrollment process for this year the same as last year?” Seeing her wanting to say something but hesitating, I decided to speak first.
“Ah? The… process! The process is pretty much the same! If you’re unclear, I can…”
“Pretty much the same? What about the Knowledge Seed? Do we still need phones, student ID cards, and the like?”
“Yes, those are still required. After all, the situation at the academy means some things can’t just all be replaced at once. As for the Knowledge Seed… I heard it’ll be uniformly distributed in the first lesson for new students, since its usage requires professional instructors to guide to avoid issues like damage or waste.”
“I see, thanks~”
“Um… I’ve already helped register her. Do you… need me to go over the specifics of the process?”
“No need for that, I pretty much already know.” I showed her the process information I obtained through Identification Magic, then carried Yang Yunhan and left.
As I departed, the chatter erupted at the location.
Before long, the topics on the academy’s website would explode even more!
