Chapter 1077: Return to the Academy
“小猿可真厉害～”
“让姐姐摸摸～嘿嘿～”
Before I could say anything further, a group of witches excitedly surrounded me, while Deina?
She had already been pushed aside by the noisy crowd.
After all, this “duel” was different from before; they were witnesses to such an incredible event, and their emotions were genuine and uncontrollable.
“Hey hey~ Let me pass! The main character is here!”
Someone from the group of witches shouted, and the noisy atmosphere reluctantly made way for Bai Yu, allowing her to squeeze through.
Naturally, Bai Yu was reluctant to disappoint and entered the inner circle, while the cheers continued unabated.
Watching this scene, some witches who had not shown themselves throughout, or those who preferred quietness, quietly left; this incident indeed broadened their horizons.
However, at this moment, the joy of the witches did not mix with the sorrow of the Blood Clan.
Those students who secretly came back to check the situation could only feel a bit envious of the ruckus caused by the witches.
They were all Extraordinary Witches, occupying the mentor level, freely playing around with a little witch without a care in the world.
Of course, more shocked than those who were lonely in dark corners were the returning witch students who had come to witness the result.
They didn’t know what exactly had happened just now, nor did they understand why so many mentors were cheering.
All they knew was that the second Disaster of Sun seemed to have not occurred, but upon inquiring, they found out… Sister Xiao Han had won.
That’s right… won!
A teaching assistant defeated an Extraordinary Mentor!
Although this was against a Blood Clan Extraordinary and might have some leeway, looking at the Duke of Blood Clan lying there as if dead, there were no more doubts!
Of course, the excitement wasn’t limited to the members of the Zero Special Operations Sequence; the Union Society from afar at Witch Academy was also closely monitoring the situation.
When they saw an Extraordinary Mentor was defeated by that little teaching assistant, they realized what kind of existence they were working alongside.
Although such emotions had already been seen during the Disaster of Sun, to personally kill an Extraordinary was a shock of a different dimension.
At this moment, Cleveland immediately convened a union meeting.
As for the combat sequence that had dealt with the enemy in Futugu Valley, they were all recalled, after all, the enemy had already been ambushed; there was no meaning in continuing the confrontation.
The first order of business in the meeting was about the representatives of the Blood Clan’s affiliated academy coming to the Witch Academy to sign the defeat contract, compensation, and land issues.
To be honest, they hadn’t expected Sister Xiao Han to suddenly pull off such a stunt, but one thing was certain: this behavior would undoubtedly greatly enhance the pro-war sentiments within the academy!
After all, the occurrence of the Blood Sacrifice incident was inextricably linked to the Blood Clan; the hatred between the Witch Academy and Blood Clan had long been established.
Although tracing back to the Wizard Academy, and even the entire top-tier academies, it didn’t prevent them from hating the Blood Clan.
With the Blood Slave Peninsula returning to the Witch Academy, everything the Blood Clan had done here would be revealed, leaving them with no dignity whatsoever.
Guiding emotions and then venting feelings would support the justification of the actions of the Union Society, and that was the outcome every member of the Union Society hoped to see.
Meanwhile, at the affiliated academy of the Blood Clan.
After the cheering subsided, the students began to orderly retreat.
After all, the ambush on the Blood Clan’s affiliated academy was a spontaneous decision I had made while on the Blood Slave Peninsula.
Now it could be considered a fruitful return.
When the five hundred meter floating warship was summoned again by me, some witch sisters proposed to go aboard for a smooth journey.
To this, I gladly agreed since, for Extraordinary Witches, traveling anywhere was incredibly easy; they proposed boarding the ship, naturally having their own considerations.
Indeed, after the warship smoothly ascended, they came back around again, with some even bringing gifts; of course, it wasn’t to congratulate me on breaking the Blood Clan’s affiliated academy but rather to celebrate my open and direct defeat of the Extraordinary!
Of course, this was just an excuse; the important thing was to take this opportunity to get to know each other, as they all had great expectations for my future.
In their eyes, I was a little witch on the fast track to becoming Extraordinary and heading straight into the Holy Realm!
Though I had already passed the optimal investment period, there was absolutely no harm in becoming familiar.
After a warm round of greetings, the only ones who remained were Sister Bai, Deina, and a few other witches.
“I feel like Xiao Han seems a bit different from before; did you notice?”
“Shouldn’t be?” I looked toward the witch who had said this, though I said that, I was still somewhat curious inside.
After all, I could probably guess the reason; it might be related to the extraction of the “Extraordinary Knowledge.”
“Bai Yu~ What do you think? Xiao Han is your girlfriend after all~” A witch nearby brought the focus onto Sister Bai.
“Is she? I feel like Xiao Han has always been the same in my heart; if she has changed, it must be for the better.”
“Ah~~ Bai Yu’s response elicited a wave of bittersweet sighs from the witches nearby who didn’t have girlfriends.
After this topic, it turned into pleasant small talk; witches could chat about anything, including things that had just happened.
I was also forced to join this gathering among the witches, where they treated it as a tea party, some even bringing out small stools, tables, and even red tea tools, along with desserts.
In such an atmosphere, I found I still preferred to be a listener, though their topics would occasionally bring me up.
“It seems just like the rumors; Xiao Han still doesn’t really enjoy socializing. Is it because she was a boy before and some topics we discussed just don’t resonate with her?”
“I think Xiao Han being quiet is actually quite nice.”
“Let’s talk about some topics that interest Xiao Han.” At this moment, Deina suggested from the side: “For example, dreams? Bai Yu mentioned that Xiao Han has been putting a lot of energy into her dreams lately, is that true? My Witch Cat uses those adorable catgirls in the Fool Dream as a signature!”
“I know that! The recently well-discussed Dream Life Reality; many sisters must be talking about it.”
The sisters had already formed an interest research group!
“I also participated! But our group’s progress is just too slow… Xiao Se~ Does your Nightmare Workshop really not have any purchasing channels?”
“Sister, have you lost your mind? If there were purchasing channels, you wouldn’t be able to buy anything anyway.”
“Well, I’ll talk about it again when the productivity improves.”
As the discussion continued, Deina’s opening statement deviated completely as the witches, upon inquiring, were mostly witches related to the study of Dream Life, wanting to learn from me about the preparation of Dream State Soul Material.
According to their exaggerated claims, they were essentially at a point where they couldn’t purchase anything even if they threw money around.
And the “money” they referred to wasn’t the currency of the main world but the extraordinary materials universally used in the Void.
Even the top mainstream material trade Aoqin in the main world seemed to have become a side character.
And the final result was merely maintaining the status quo; I didn’t have much time to continue optimizing the nurturing purification method or to set up another Nightmare Workshop, but in the end, all the witch sisters still left me their business cards.
And they hinted that even if it wasn’t about trade related to Dream State Soul Material, they could always be contacted.
As time passed, the warship finally arrived above the Magic Capital.
And the Witch Academy’s tomb wall opened a large entrance passage for the warship with great specifications.
The last time such a grand opening occurred seemed to be when the Aphhemia Academy’s eternal Tree of Life came to the Witch Academy for the exchange competition.
Such a huge commotion undoubtedly attracted countless curious students from the academy, rushing over to welcome it.
Regarding the ambush of the Blood Clan’s affiliated academy, the Union Society did not synchronize a public live broadcast with the academy, so many students were still not fully informed about this matter.
They only thought that the floating warship of the Witch Academy had officially entered combat for observation.
However, when they arrived at the stopping position, they were stunned; representatives from the major society presidents, and numerous core members of the Union Society who rarely appeared were all here, seemingly waiting for a triumphant return.
“Wow… this this this… is this warship finally starting combat testing?”
“I don’t know; didn’t they say the warship was still at the port area for final adjustments? How is it flying now?”
“Shouldn’t you pay attention to the crowd gathered here? Look, the president of the All-purpose Workshop! And that one from the Magic Research Society; they’re geniuses who have won the Academy’s Magic Cup multiple times!”
“What on earth happened? I just heard rumors that our Witch Academy”
ambushed the Blood Clan Academy; do you know about this?”
“Huh? Sister, where did you hear this news, such wild sources? That’s too outrageous.”
As a crowd of witches watched the spectacle, the warship hatch slowly opened, and then a throng of uniformed girls, like they had just returned from a spring outing, walked down from the warship.
“No… the news agency people have arrived too; with such a grand occasion, what on earth has happened?”
“Um… it seems to be the battle garb of the Zero Special Operations Sequence from the Union Society? Hey?”
“You recognize this?”
“How is it possible not to recognize? The one leading them is Xiao Han; the badges on their chests are the emblem of the Bake Master, and the strongest teaching assistant of the Witch Academy is no joke!”
Among the crowd, girls who knew some things flaunted their knowledge, while the members of the Union Society, having finished a temporary meeting, also arranged the most solemn welcoming ceremony immediately.
During this waiting period, they had already drafted the heavy content to be publicly announced by the Union Society, and some interviews from the news agency had basically been processed.
At this moment, all the witch sisters had also left the warship.
Only I, Sister Bai, and Deina the witch remained on the bridge.
“I can see Xiao Han isn’t good at socializing; based on my analysis…”
“Alright~ Sister Deina, don’t flaunt your psychological knowledge; maybe I don’t understand psychology, but I understand Heart Sense. My reticence in socializing is simply not wanting to cater to social pretense; after all, when others speak, I can usually tell what they want to convey right away.”
“Hey… that’s quite insightful; no wonder I saw you directly debunk the lies of that Blood Clan big bat while bickering.”
“Are you envious? Want to learn?”
“No, no; I can’t stand the agony of body cultivation; let me be a useless witch surrounded by cats.” Deina quickly shook her head, shamelessly admitting her essence, “The warship has stopped, right? Then I should leave~ Remember our agreement!”
“Mm, Sister Deina, take care~”
I nodded, then watched the cat slave witch walk away.
Deina had come mainly for the Dream Grant this time; of course, she didn’t know my progress in the realm of Dream Life. She came mostly to “borrow” some Dream Grants.
The Witch Cat Café in the expanding realm had already been established, but the café there still hadn’t introduced Dream Grants and Dream Beverages; without these, it seemed to lose some of its charm.
However, the Witch Cat Café was originally meant to provide witches with a platform for a “green community,” a role-playing social game between guests and catgirls.
Yet with the addition of Fool Dream, it attracted more witches to come here, gradually becoming one of its unique features.
I also consulted the Fool Dream Realm about whether there were any desires to visit reality.
After all, I couldn’t force them into such things; according to Deina, Fool Dreams had been interacting frequently with guests lately, even with many guests whisking away the witches working at the Witch Cat Café!
This was a huge loss for the Witch Cat Café!
And when this was mentioned, I recalled a certain Betraying Witch who whisked away the Fool Dream and even boasted in front of me.
Nonetheless, I held a forgiving attitude towards it; after all, regardless of what choice the Fool Dream made, Fool Dream Realm would always be their most steadfast sanctuary.
If anyone dared to deceive or take advantage of the Fool Dream, once I had the strength, I would definitely seek them out for reckoning!
However, at this stage, it was also something I was willing to see, that the Fool Dream could be accepted by the witches.
After saying goodbye to Deina, Sister Bai accompanied me out of the floating warship.
When I stepped outside, I was indeed surprised by such a scale, but I soon accepted it.
My identity had completely transformed; the moment I stepped out from the warship facing so many students was when I formally enjoyed the treatment that came with this identity.
I felt like the closed-off position I once held had completely transformed, truly stepping before everyone.
And at that moment I appeared, the academy’s online communication platform simultaneously released a formal announcement, unabashedly publicizing my deeds this time to create a buzz.
