Chapter 9: The Reason Why Witch Academy Is Recruiting Boys Is Actually…
After walking out of the place where I awakened my talent, I let the senior pull me forward without asking much. I simply trusted Sister Bai.
But I still couldn’t help but wonder what my talent actually was.
Clearly, I hadn’t obtained anything.
As I walked along the road with Senior Bai, I vaguely heard a scream?
There was an evil laugh mixed in, reminiscent of a villain.
The sound was coming closer, and Sister Bai seemed to be aware, leading me in that direction.
At the turn, the wailing sound made me realize the one screaming seemed to be a boy like me. This sound really made one think—was some senior girl attacking a junior boy?
So eager?
As I thought this, a figure crawled out from around the corner. To be fair, it was more like a hand reached out, only to be dragged back in despair.
And the other party was undoubtedly a senior girl; her voice became clearer.
“…Good boy, cute junior, don’t make it difficult for me, eat this Magic Source, and become a witch like me!”
This time, Sister Bai intentionally brought me there, giving me a direct view of the tragic scene. That boy was full of resistance, but the senior pressing him against the wall wasn’t going to let him go easily.
The senior’s palm was opened slightly, as if holding something, but it seemed invisible to the n*ked eye; all I could see was a wave of distorted visual illusion.
But I didn’t forget what the senior just said—Magic Source… become… a witch…
I looked at Sister Bai with a hint of disbelief, and she gestured for me to continue looking.
The boy seemed to notice us. He wanted to seek help from me, but I was powerless to assist. I felt so sorry.
I instinctively activated my Spirit Vision. It was clear that the senior had something in her hand—probably the so-called Magic Source she mentioned.
When my Spirit Vision focused on what was in the senior’s hand, I saw that half of it had already entered the boy’s body.
But I couldn’t see the item clearly; it seemed to be quite complex, with horrifying, intertwining information contained within that mass. I could only identify it as a mass of energy. If this was the Magic Source, then this energy should indeed be magical, right?
After all, the energy that powers phones is magic, so this primitive method is used to access and command extraordinary powers?
Injecting power into the body?
But soon, I was shocked by what happened next!
In Spirit Vision, I saw the so-called Magic Source suddenly erupting with terrifying might, and the dissipated energy transformed into basic light radiation and heat in reality.
In the Inner World, the terrifying magic spread within the boy’s body, covering him entirely as if he were being eroded!
In that moment, I “saw” too much information, overwhelming my consciousness and causing an intense headache.
“Are you okay? If it’s too much, don’t force yourself to use Spirit Vision,” Sister Bai supported me and spoke.
“I’m… I’m fine…” I quickly waved my hand, not daring to continue using Spirit Vision.
The boy in front of me was now wrapped as if he were a glowing form of light. I remembered the information I had seen in Spirit Vision; this was the energy dissipating after being injected into him. But the conversion of this energy was so high! I could even feel a wave of heat, and the bright light was somewhat blinding.
“Sister Bai, what is happening…?” I unconsciously swallowed when I asked this question.
“The Witch Academy gives each new student an initial Magic Source; this is also your first step into the extraordinary realm,” Sister Bai explained to me in great detail.
Meanwhile, the senior not far away smiled at Bai Yu, signaling a mutual understanding between seniors.
Only my attention remained on that boy because, perhaps soon, I might be in the same dire situation…
I wondered if it would hurt when the Magic Source was injected into my body?
While I was lost in thought, I saw the boy, now resembling a humanoid self-moving light, reveal his true form.
But why did it feel different?
I frowned slightly; his short hair had suddenly turned long, and his chest had a slight bulge. The face that had clearly identified him as a boy now looked softer…
Wait… how did a living boy become a girl after receiving the Magic Source?
I widened my eyes in disbelief.
“Did you see clearly? This process is called Witch Transformation. Regardless of gender, upon merging with the Magic Source, one will continuously evolve towards the level of an Extraordinary Witch. This process is called Witch Transformation.”
“So… I will turn into a girl?”
At that moment, I found myself at a loss for words to express my feelings.
Was it joy or delight?
Or should I pretend to be in disbelief and go a bit crazy?
“Yes, the Witch Academy is naturally an academy for training witches; I told you this long ago,” Sister Bai said, placing her hand on my shoulder. If I acted impulsively, I guessed she would stop me immediately.
But I should not act so rashly.
After all, in my two lives, I viewed gender quite openly. To say I was very open wouldn’t be entirely accurate; I should say I even yearned for it. It was a perspective and life I had never experienced!
If I became a witch, changing my current appearance would mean I was completely bidding farewell to the past of this life!
I could enjoy life unrestrainedly under a new identity, wear cute clothes or skirts, act playfully with others, and express my emotions without concern…
I momentarily thought of too many things, and not a single one was a decision I regretted; my body and soul seemed to be expressing willingness.
But my mouth couldn’t voice these thoughts, as I was still a boy, serving as my last constraint, forcing me to speak words contrary to my thoughts.
“Sister Bai, you’re lying to me, right? I… I don’t want to become a girl…”
This was the only broken statement I could manage to utter, and even I could hardly believe it.
“Ah… I understand…”
Sister Bai waved her hand slightly, and my limbs seemed to lose control as if they were marionettes, awkwardly following Sister Bai’s side.
“Xiao Han, do you remember what I said back then?”
“I said I would accompany you to the Witch Academy; this is the last bit of help I can give you.”
Sister Bai continued, but it wasn’t that I didn’t want to speak, rather I had lost complete control of my body and couldn’t even utter a word.
“This is the last bit of help I mentioned. I’m sorry, Xiao Han. Once you choose the Witch Academy, everything becomes unchangeable, which is why I purposely contacted the academy on the train and applied to be a volunteer guide for new students.”
At this point, Sister Bai appeared to be holding something in her hands, although it was empty; the only proof of something being there was the slightly distorted light emanating from her hand, as the dissipating magic disturbed the air, causing the light to bend.
“I can only take matters into my own hands. Otherwise, if another senior girl were to do this, she would likely have the same morbid interest as that one. If it’s a twisted and malevolent senior, you might fare worse. They will prolong this process, watching as you struggle against it until it culminates in despair; they might even record it for keepsake.”
“But I won’t. I’ll make sure this all ends quickly, and I will teach you how to live as a girl as if you were my little sister. Please don’t hate me, okay?”
“Just like Sister Bai, become a witch.”
Sister Bai said this to me and then directly thrust the Magic Source forcefully into my chest.
