Chapter 872 End of the Matter
Regarding the accident during the Self-Generated Magic Power experiment, it ultimately fell upon Ji An alone to bear the blame.
This announcement was released, and even the students who were just spectators found it hard to believe, as discussions about it continued online at the Academy, with anticipation for the follow-up handling of the situation.
Unfortunately, the reality did not meet anyone’s expectations; this matter was far from over.
It was not surprising that Daniel, as an Extraordinary Witch, could extricate herself from the incident, but the thoughts of those families would not align with her wishes.
The follow-up issues of concern for the many students were, of course, to deal with those who participated in the accident, including the… teaching assistant.
It was almost identical to that previous hunting incident, a complete replica.
The difference was that this time the list of involved students was provided by… Daniel.
Those students and their families were sold out by Daniel.
“Practicing the topic of the Betraying Witch, huh… next time you won’t have the chance to use such a despicable reason again.”
Bai Hua softly recounted this incident, leaving with a somewhat distressed expression.
This matter could be considered over; not a single person died because of it.
However, after this incident concluded, more people would be affected by it, leading to comple.
Ji An could not shield her family from the calamity brought about by the Academy Head, nor could anyone else.
Only a chorus of cheers echoed online at the Academy, with countless spectators shouting for “blood to flow like rivers”!
Not all students held favorable opinions of their associated families; the Witch Academy was not dominated by a single faction.
After all, everyone possesses Extraordinary Power—why should one think themselves superior?
Only those aligned with the families remained; their influence in the Main World was growing, while those favoring freedom left this stage for another, larger one.
Returning to the perspective of the Extraordinary Witches…
This was Bai Hua’s first experience of animosity towards a witch. Because of differing stances, it couldn’t even be described as hate.
She simply sensed a witch more extreme than Sheryl appeared in her view.
If Sheryl made her feel cautious, towards Daniel… she could only feel disgust.
It was not merely a matter of means, but also a problem of attitude afterwards.
Between witches, it is quite difficult to generate feelings of “I hate,” as it is not a matter of life and death.
However, estrangement and prejudice remain present.
Daniel struck a nerve with Bai Hua; even though they had openly communicated under Mei Linde’s encouragement, Daniel clearly stated that she had never targeted Yang Yuelan.
Yet Bai Hua did not buy it.
In Daniel’s view, the only party truly at fault for the accident was that preliminary witch named Shi Ruizhi, and that girl was ultimately rescued, so this matter should have been resolved satisfactorily.
However, Bai Hua could not think this way. After all, if everything is analyzed from the perspective of outcomes, then could Bai Hua be considered to have not experienced anything after going to fight Daniel with lethal intent, only to be dissuaded by Mei Linde?
Let’s not forget that Bai Hua is an Extraordinary in the Holy Realm, but Daniel is not; thus, it was evident how difficult it was for Daniel to hear this example.
Mei Linde noticed as well; the two witches were on completely different wavelengths and ceased to persuade them further.
To say more was futile; no matter how you organized it, it was merely a repetition of one’s own biases.
Even among witches, there are many moments when they only evaluate things from their own standpoint.
After leaving, Bai Hua planned to head to the Experiment Zone.
She requested permission from the Academy Head to go to Xiao Han’s laboratory.
Since she was going to Xiao Han, Bai Yu naturally did not want to confront her with such emotions, so she quickly returned to her usual demeanor as if nothing had happened.
Laboratory.
“Sister Bai~ you finally made it~”
I welcomed Sister Bai’s arrival, feeling delighted as I introduced her to a few witch sisters here. After some brief introductions, Sister Bai also began to integrate into the atmosphere of the laboratory.
After all… this laboratory currently appeared somewhat chaotic, with nearly every witch having their unique research topic based on the Primordial Dream.
However, they needed to share that small piece of special Primordial Dream.
In fact, some witches did not often stay in my laboratory; they only came over to verify data.
After all, who conducts research just to “do experiments all day long”?
Experiments and collecting data are ultimately only one part of a research topic, so in my laboratory, many witches frequently vanish.
Because they have their own laboratories in the Experiment Zone, as soon as Bai Yi collects the data, she takes off.
Only witches like Aina remain in my laboratory, as the reason is simple—she lacks her own laboratory in the Experiment Zone.
After all, she is researching the theory of the Soul’s Great Topic combined with the Primordial Dream, so she naturally cannot apply for a key topic level laboratory.
Previously, they were so excited when they heard that a Primordial Dream descended in the Expanding Realm, rushing to enter it at the first opportunity, even risking becoming lost in the process.
Now that they have such a “safe and controllable” condition, they must remain here.
After all, they can collect data so conveniently without taking risks, and they were quite tempted.
They also reflected on this, realizing that the stronger one is, the greater the contributions to academia, as it is incredibly easy for them to conduct experiments. At least Aina stated she cannot wield the Primordial Dream.
And Sister Sister staying in this region’s laboratory has her own intentions.
That is to attempt to grasp and verify the construction of the “Dream Realm”!
Though the conditions for the Dream Realm are incredibly harsh, it fundamentally relies on the power of the Self-Awakened Body Cultivation and the basic components of the realm, the sixth sense “Heart Sense.”
Sister Sister coincidentally has mastered such powers. The only unfortunate thing is that she does not have the Great Knowledge Tree to expedite the reconstruction of the realm, so her only method left is to adapt to difficulties using Body Cultivation powers.
Furthermore, Sister Sister’s Body Cultivation power is not from Self-Awakened Body Cultivation; her Body Cultivation strength is restricted to the singular Five Senses Body Cultivation, so even if Sister Sister completes the Dream Realm, the information from the Primordial Dream influenced by this realm is also biased.
Yet still, this does not obscure one fact:
That is, within the Witch Academy, Sister Sister is currently the only—extraordinary witch capable of replicating the mastery of the Dream Realm.
Time—days go by.
However, these days are rather turbulent.
With the clarification of the Self-Generated Magic Power experiment accident, a large batch of students and teaching assistants were implicated.
Don’t be deceived that this matter merely brought about one person’s cause for the accident; if no one else had intervened, where would she find the energy to scheme this incident?
How could there be guidance in discussions post-accident?
Thus, these days, topics and posts about who was involved in the incident flooded the Academy’s online space, providing plentiful amusement for those countless fun-seekers within the Witch Academy.
Amidst this widespread atmosphere, another message was released, but few took note.
That is, research on the Self-Generated Magic Power topic has restarted, except this time the experiment is no longer confined to students and teaching assistants; it now includes guidance from instructors.
The role of instructors is merely to alleviate the panic triggered by the incident. Compared to the worst-case scenario of having the instructors take full control, this is already a favorable outcome.
After all, a director serves as a layer of assurance, and the credibility of an Extraordinary Witch in extraordinary skills far surpasses that of a group of students and teaching assistants.
Moreover, the naming instructor is the mentor of Yi Yang and others, namely, the witch Belika and several other witches.
It must be said… Instructor Belika and others provided significant assistance to Yi Yang’s group during the Self-Generated Magic Power experiment. This mentorship title indeed only belongs to them; it’s safe to say they mutually achieved success alongside students and teaching assistants.
With the restart of this experiment, the recruitment for the second batch of small-scale experimental volunteers also opened for sign-up.
Many students closely following this matter quickly discovered this announcement and eagerly sought to sign up.
After all, in the wake of this experimental accident, some still maintained their calm.
For them, even if this is a formal experimental accident with one instance among hundreds, they are willing to take the gamble!
After all, the first round, driven by rumors of “Unlimited Firepower” competition styles, was incredibly shocking!
When the Magic Source surpasses the limit of ten thousand, and magic restoration can no longer be infinite, the confrontational performances brought to the audience by contestants will be a relentless barrage from start to finish!
This is the scene they should witness!
This is the power they hope to master!
However, with the lessons from the first experiment, the screening of volunteers for the Self-Generated Magic Power experiment naturally became more stringent!
This led to many cursing those who caused trouble after the reversal of the Self-Generated Magic Power experiment accident.
And no one dared to defend those from the families in the Academy’s online space.
After all, one must understand that the Academy’s online platform operates on real-name systems; speaking against group sentiment calls for caution to avoid retaliation from senior students offline.
Therefore, the discourse online at the Academy is hard to steer, but once it is stirred, it can lead to catastrophe!
And this was just what happened within the student body these days; among the Extraordinary Witches, they were also partaking of the gossip.
And this gossip naturally pertains to the conflict between Daniel and Bai Yu.
Many witches had their own opinions on this; some felt it was nothing, others thought Bai Yu was overly sensitive, and some believed Daniel instigated the matter first.
However, regardless of anything, the conflict between Bai Yu and Daniel can be termed as an irreconcilable enmity.
Furthermore, there were many witches who understood the protest actions by Daniel against the Academy Head’s decision. Those who didn’t grasp the principles just gossiped a little.
What a situation.
The main reason causing this incident still relates to the issue of whether to promote the Self-Generated Magic Power skills.
This matter was previously discussed in meetings by Mei Linde as the Academy Head. After seeing that most witches had no objections, Mei Linde proceeded directly, neglecting the voices of the few dissenters.
Originally, Mei Linde never expected they would create such an incident, and now she is paying attention to it.
However… ultimately this matter concluded with the dissenting witches making compromises.
After all, Daniel took the initiative in this matter; they stopped what they were saying as well, but the key remains that they witnessed Mei Linde’s resolve during this incident. If they continued to oppose her, they would need to consider leaving the Main World Magical University.
Of course, some witches indeed left quietly, as they believed the Main World Witch Academy was not their true home.
As the grievances between Bai Yu and Daniel unfolded, another incident spread within the witch community.
That is, after experiencing this Expansion Realm’s Dream Window, witches had made breakthrough progress in the area of the Primordial Dream!
However, this statement seemed more ethereal compared to the so-called conflict gossip.
Because until now, not many witches understand how this originated.
It’s just that as the days passed, the details of this matter became more specific.
That is, the Witch Academy gradually mastered the skills to manipulate the Dream Window!
This was undoubtedly a bombshell, striking the hearts of many witches.
In fact, most Extraordinary Witches rarely engaged with the obscure field of the Primordial Dream.
Naturally, they wouldn’t even mention entering the Primordial Dream.
The Soul’s Great Topic belongs to a burgeoning field; exploration projects derived from this Soul Topic regarding the Primordial Dream can only be accomplished by cross-disciplinary academic elites.
These are endeavors not accessible to ordinary witches.
The Witch Academy is an institution, which means it gathers highly capable witches. At the very least, even if not, they still have the strength comparable to Academy Head Belfrana, ensuring that the witches in the Academy do not represent the brilliant distribution of the witch community.
Seemingly, the Primordial Dream seems trending in related topics, yet that’s only within academic circles.
While many witches may not comprehend the Primordial Dream, they can understand achievements!
Not long ago, the Dream Catastrophe directly wiped out so many extraordinary beings; it truly is hard not to make a name for themselves.
In that catastrophe, other Extraordinary Academy’s elites were almost entirely buried in the Primordial Dream, while the only lost witches from the Witch Academy were all recovered.
This point, even the witches themselves felt something was off.
Now that news has leaked about the Witch Academy mastering controlling Dream Disasters, this “rumor” naturally possesses a credible foundation.
In the past, those Extraordinary Academies boasted so loudly, blaming the witches for the Dream Catastrophe, attempting to shift all responsibility onto them.
But now… with news coming from within the Witch Academy, witches may indeed have mastered this technique; they cannot disregard those extraordinary ones who were part of the rescue efforts!
