Chapter 130: The Troubles of Being Class Leader
As the class ended, many students left one after another.
Some went straight back to their villas, some continued to explore the academy, while others curiously wandered around to discover extraordinary means within the academy.
Numerous young girls roamed the academy in groups, and the colossal scale of the Witch Academy had completely changed their way of life, with countless things that the outside world lacked captivating their curiosity.
Some sighed as they returned to their dormitories to find their student cards, so teachers could help them bind them. If they didn’t get them bound, who knows what troubles might arise later.
As for me, I was riding my broom, ready to find those troublesome students. They hadn’t shown up, and they hadn’t even signed the contract. Regardless of their reasons, I personally felt it was unforgivable.
As for how to confirm who hadn’t shown up, it was really simple. Once Teacher Ji assigned me this task, a corresponding task appeared on my phone, along with the targets.
Earth Veins… truly a mysterious existence.
All I needed to do was use my class leader privileges to locate them based on the information provided.
Of course, this sort of location tracking privilege wasn’t always available to me, and I needed special authorization from the counselor. Otherwise, the class leader knowing the whereabouts of every single person in the class all the time would be terrifying to think about.
My first target was… Ming Yun.
I still had some impression of her, after all, I had personally called her to urge her to join the class group, and she was the one who was sleeping deeply at that time, so I naturally remembered her well.
She shouldn’t still be sleeping at this hour, right?
With various guesses in mind, I flew on my broom towards the location, ultimately stopping in front of a villa.
She really stayed home and didn’t go out, did she? Did I guess right that she was still in bed?
I knocked on the door and pressed the doorbell, but there was no response for a long time.
I guessed that students from other classes probably hadn’t returned yet. Even if they had, taking a car wouldn’t be faster than me flying on a broom.
After confirming several times that the doorbell wasn’t getting anyone to open the door, I had no choice but to resort to other methods.
I couldn’t just break the door open violently, could I?
Even though Teacher Ji had mentioned that I could use violence once a contract was signed, if I broke the door, wouldn’t I have to pay for it?
I couldn’t waste my money here. Instead of forcing my way in, I might as well enter from another place, like a window or the rooftop terrace on the third floor.
In no time, I managed to get inside the villa. Let’s just say the girls hadn’t properly locked the doors and windows before leaving, although I did feel a bit guilty about barging into someone else’s villa.
But I was acting on “official orders,” and just thinking about how this girl had caused me trouble made me angry. If it weren’t for this mess, I should be in Room 8401 continuing some unknown experiment!
That spell was gradually being analyzed in my hands, and the angles of the unfolding knowledge were simply brilliant. Moreover, the papers the teacher gave me vividly explained the rituals and principles behind the internal structures of spells.
As long as there was a chance to try… I might be able to transform this Fireball Spell into something entirely different!
But now wasn’t the time to think about those things.
I looked at my phone’s location and confirmed the bedroom.
“Knock knock knock”
With my urgent knocking echoing, silence soon followed.
“Hello, is someone in there?” I knocked on the bedroom door again and listened for any movement inside. Sure enough, some noises emerged in response to my knocking.
“Who? Who’s there…” a low voice filled with drowsiness responded.
As the bedroom door opened, a figure appeared before me, dressed in a pink nightgown, rubbing her sleepy eyes while looking at me with confusion.
“Um… who are you…”
“I’m Yang Yuelan, the class leader of Class 14. Just call me Xiao Han. Do you remember the phone call you received yesterday? The one about joining the group?” I introduced myself and then asked.
“Uh? Oh… it’s you. Hello, class leader…” Ming Yun tilted her head while looking at me, then yawned before speaking up.
“Did you… um, did you not sleep at all last night?” I asked, noticing her nearly falling asleep while standing.
“No, after I finished your call last night, I went back to sleep.”
“Then why are you still sleeping now? Do you know Class 14 is supposed to gather this morning?”
“I didn’t know.”
“Ah? Didn’t I mention it during yesterday’s call?” I stared wide-eyed in disbelief. I was sure I had said it.
“Maybe I… forgot…”
“Ah… okay, then do you know why you’re so drowsy? Is it a family trait or some uncomfortable medical history or something?”
I continued to inquire, as it seemed Ming Yun’s condition was somewhat abnormal. If there was any reason, it was better to understand in advance to avoid later misunderstandings and to explain to Teacher Ji.
“Um… ever since I awakened my talent, it’s been like this. I’m so sleepy…”
“Talent?” I paused for a moment, then realized that talents could be quite a mix. If her talent was to be sleepy, that would be quite unfortunate!
“Talent? Is it because of talent? Well… alright.” I initially thought to let her confirm her personal information, but since she hadn’t bound her student card yet, I couldn’t view the information on her phone, so I gave up.
Instead of wasting more time, I should focus on the main task.
“By the way, because you didn’t come today, the counselor asked me, as class leader, to come over. Everyone is supposed to sign a contract today, so please sign your name here.” I took out a contract and handed her a pen.
After receiving it, Ming Yun, without a word, directly signed her name as soon as she heard my words.
The parchment of the contract turned to flames in her hand, and she simply seemed a little startled.
“Don’t you want to check the content?”
“I… it’s fine since you all signed it. Do we have to be so formal? Is there anything else?”
“Oh, also, didn’t you receive a student card when you enrolled? Be sure to find the counselor or any teacher to help you bind it as soon as possible. It’s best to do it quickly. Your talent is seriously affecting your life. If you continue sleeping like this, skipping classes and exams… can you even stay in the academy?”
“Uh… I… I will look for a teacher.” At this moment, Ming Yun realized the seriousness of the matter. She hadn’t taken it seriously before, but ever since her talent awakened, her sleepiness seemed to become a significant concern.
But this didn’t mean she was absent-minded; she was simply overwhelmed by fatigue and couldn’t think about other things.
My appearance also gave her a sense of urgency, making her consider more consequences.
“Yeah, you should hurry. Also, today is technically the start of classes, so remember to check the schedule and don’t skip classes.” I nodded, and seeing her not looking like she was taking it lightly, I continued to explain.
“Schedule? Where do I check that?”
“Alright…” I still underestimated her understanding. She seemed to be unfamiliar with many things around the academy, and it appeared her talent could indeed cause problems.
After briefly explaining things to Ming Yun, the matter was reluctantly settled.
So far, everything had gone quite smoothly. I glanced at the time and the remaining number of students, feeling that I would be busy until noon.
If I wanted to go to the laboratory, I probably wouldn’t make it before noon. I hope Teacher Ji won’t mind too much.
Continuing, I went to look for those who hadn’t shown up one by one. Some of them simply forgot.
But I didn’t believe that for a second; with everyone else in the villa gone, wouldn’t she be curious about where they went today?
And the group had notified so many times; it was hard to believe she hadn’t seen a single message.
Until I saw her still habitually using the old phone, while the phone provided by the academy often sat idle… well, she really might not know…
The more this went on, the more I could witness a myriad of excuses and various reasons, with some still on their way.
By the time I finished all my tasks, it was already noon.
During this time, I also received private messages from many classmates, asking various questions about what was fun at the academy, and some asked where they could get a flying license.
I responded to each message, not even having the chance to eat a proper lunch, just grabbing a quick snack at a convenient roadside stall before hurriedly heading towards the experimental building.
By the time I arrived, it was almost past noon.
“Xiao Han, why are you so late?”
Upon seeing me, Teacher Ji couldn’t help but “complain” a bit, though her tone wasn’t accusatory.
“Sorry, teacher, I ran into quite a few unexpected situations. Some of the missing students are drowsy due to their talents, unable to wake up, which has seriously affected their normal routines.” I quickly explained and informed the teacher about Ming Yun’s situation.
If Ming Yun’s condition wasn’t resolved, it would certainly become a big problem in the future, and she was a student from my Class 14; I couldn’t just ignore it, could I?
“Is that so? I see. You don’t need to be so anxious for others. Come sit down.”
“Okay.” I looked around here; it seemed quite different from before. Teacher Ji had added many things, making the place look quite fulfilling, almost like a real laboratory.
“Guess what we’re doing today?” Teacher Ji leaned against the experimental table, operating the information on top with one hand while casually asking me.
“Um… not sure…” I thought for a moment and shook my head. The proposal I had made earlier had already been completed. Although I myself was not entirely satisfied, I guessed she wouldn’t let me do whatever I wanted beyond that.
“We will continue the research on the spellbook.”
“Eh?”
“You didn’t think that after completely breaking down the spellbook, you would understand it, did you? Do you understand the extraordinary principles inside? Do you know the rituals involved? Do you know how extraordinary energy transforms and is utilized within these structures?”
“If you don’t know all these, I’ve said I would take you to experience the charm of the extraordinary world, and the course starting today is to understand the operational principles of the spells within the spellbook. Only by grasping these basic principles can you gain the ability to modify spells.”
“Modify spells!” At that moment, I caught the keyword; wasn’t that exactly what I had been thinking about before?
“Right, it seems you’re very interested, so let’s continue using the Fireball Spell as our prototype to experiment.”
Teacher Ji said with a smile; the reason she wanted to do this was certainly to help Xiao Han utilize Spirit Vision effectively, starting from the basics, fostering a habit of smoothly applying Spirit Vision.
Her ambition wasn’t merely this. Spirit Vision had the potential for much more, but Xiao Han was ultimately a newcomer just touching the extraordinary realm, requiring time to accumulate experience.
So Xiao Han was not suited for the current educational methods of the Witch Academy; that would simply be a waste of her Spirit Vision talent!
She shouldn’t be learning how to use spellbooks, how to apply them in battles, or how to combine multiple spells strategically to win fights.
She wasn’t a unit to compare combat strength against others; she shouldn’t become a violent witch but rather a Truth Witch who stands at the forefront of the extraordinary world!
As long as Xiao Han became an Extraordinary Witch and step onto the extraordinary stage, her Spirit Vision of floating world caliber would be her most terrifying weapon, even attracting the gaze of Truth Witches!
And all of this depended on Xiao Han becoming an Extraordinary Witch and stepping onto the extraordinary platform, as the extraordinary was the critical division point.
It seemed I needed to find a way to send some magic sources to accelerate Xiao Han’s witch transformation process.
Xi Lan looked at the person in front of her, lost in a reverie.
