Chapter 527: The Existence Under Extraordinary at the Witch Academy
After listening to my brief introduction, Principal Beif Alanna fell into deep thought.
I originally planned to be more detailed, but some details were interrupted by Principal Beif, so for a moment, I wasn’t quite sure what the principal’s attitude towards this was.
“It is indeed a perspective I haven’t considered. You’ve integrated this observation ability into a systematic technique to assist in observing fortune? Or is it borrowed from the Great Knowledge Tree?” After pondering for a long time, Beif Alanna suddenly asked.
“Pretty much. Technically, there’s not much difficulty; it’s just that data collection and summarization are quite troublesome.”
“But how did you… oh, Spirit Vision…”
Alanna instinctively wanted to ask something else but suddenly realized that the young girl in front of her seemed to have innate Spirit Vision, and it was at the Floating World level… If it was guided by such a level for observation, it wouldn’t be impossible to obtain fortune information at the level of the Great Spellbook.
This… this is equivalent to using the power of the Great Spellbook to present the information observed by Floating World level Spirit Vision in a shallower form!
Floating World level!
This is the key… Does the Witch Academy have real visual capabilities at this level?
No!
“Ahem… I think this matter is a bit difficult to discuss.” After all, she’s just not good at studying those convoluted things, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t understand anything.
This ability is something she considers she cannot handle well, but its value is likely understood by some witches, like a certain someone who enjoys playing with scripts.
Just now, she had learned some applications of the fortune observation technique through Xiao Han and tried some information deduction. To say what the difference is between this and directly using real vision to observe fortune would probably be that it’s stronger and more convenient!
This point cannot be faked, especially with this line of thinking. Should I say it’s no wonder it’s from Xiao Han?
The idea is indeed unique!
“But this ability is really impressive. You mean it’s not fully developed yet?”
“Correct.” I nodded.
“Then do you have any plans to form another team to improve this… fortune observation technique? I think it’s very valuable.”
“Really?” I widened my eyes, a bit incredulous. This was a suggestion actively brought up by Principal Beif, confirming its value!
This indicates that the value of this fortune observation technique is even more terrifying than I expected. I had originally been hesitant about this low-tech inspiration.
“It seems you have the same thought, so let’s settle on this for now, shall we? I feel that Mei Linde might also be interested in this.” Seeing my excited tone, Beif seemed to understand some of my thoughts.
“But… I’m already quite busy right now, so perhaps we shouldn’t rush into this…” I opened my mouth, after all, this isn’t a high-tech endeavor; I plan to be a hands-off manager.
And I wasn’t lying; a few research groups around me were basically revolving around me. Even though the consciousness communication provided by the Knowledge Shadow could solve many not-so-important troubles, a lot of research related to the Great Knowledge Tree still requires practical testing.
So, I was fundamentally in a situation where I couldn’t be free.
“Is that so? Well, it’s true we shouldn’t be in such a hurry. Xiao Han said you’ve been busy for the past few days; you should really take a break.”
“Thank you for understanding, Sister Bai.” I quickly responded, “By the way, I heard that something happened in the Magic Capital where the Witch Academy is located. This should be due to the arrangement of the script node, right?”
“Well, don’t you have the fortune observation technique? Can’t you deduce it?” Principal Beif seemed a bit interested to focus her gaze on the current deduction data of my fortune observation technique, as if curious why I wasn’t trying it.
“Well… my fortune observation technique is still to be perfected. I lack so much data to refine it that I find it difficult to understand this information. For instance… this part clearly shows that fortune has been violently interfered with, but I don’t know how it was interfered with, the form of interference, etc.” I pointed to a piece of data.
My doing this was mainly to see if I could extract some intelligence from Principal Beif.
“Here, oh…” Beif Alanna looked at it and was initially a bit confused, but after my explanation and based on her own understanding, she quickly grasped what it meant.
Suddenly, she found herself also quite interested in this fortune observation technique because she realized she might be able to play with this spell.
Indeed, interest comes from being able to play with it.
If we talk about violently interfering with fortune, aren’t those players from the game world just that?
What could be more violent than using [Extraordinary Knowledge] to violently interfere with fortune?
She used fortune as bait to lure those guys into the main world, and they came straightforwardly; this was her first time encountering such a quick fish biting the bait. However, this also indirectly proved the greed of this world. Additionally, it could be a hasty decision made to compensate for the loss of a small world.
But in any case, the outcome was already decided, and the Witch Academy would set down its final conclusion!
“Xiao Han, do you want to know what these represent?” Suddenly, Beif Alanna asked.
At this point, she remembered she seemed to have not explained this matter to Xiao Han and had been planning to surprise her earlier… but now Xiao Han was no longer involved in this situation, so this couldn’t really be considered a surprise. It would be better to take this opportunity to explain it directly, after all, Xiao Han would find out sooner or later.
“I want to know!” I immediately nodded.
I didn’t expect the principal to be so direct; I hadn’t even thought about how to coax her. Indeed, every principal knows something.
“Then let me tell you now. Do you still remember those guys you encountered in that small world?”
“Those guys? Oh, the Excavators?” I wanted to ask what they were but quickly realized.
“Excavators… yes, they are those players. They run very fast, but their greed got them to find us.” Beif Alanna smiled as she said this.
“Ah?” Upon hearing this outcome, I suddenly felt… surprised? Shocked?
Maybe a bit of both, but more feeling helpless about their self-destructive behavior.
“How dare they?”
“The ignorant are fearless; that probably sums it up. They do not know what they are facing. They only know they lost a small world, and by chance, they discovered another world presented to them. Their choice was to come over without hesitation.”
“And what is the attitude of the Witch Academy… oh no, all the extraordinary academies in the main world towards this?” I curiously asked.
“Attitude? Is there still a need for an attitude? This is a piece of fat meat delivered to the door; why wouldn’t we eat it? Xiao Han, you should understand the plan regarding the main world repair, right?”
“The main world repair plan…” I thought for a while and found related information in the Great Knowledge Tree. “I understand somewhat.”
“That’s good. This game world is basically the consumable for repairing the main world.”
“And what about that small world about to collide with the main world?” I curiously asked.
“Of course, it’s the first attempt. After all, repairing the main world is something everyone is doing for the first time; we are all in the theoretical stage, so naturally, no one can act recklessly.”
“I see. I heard that this small world is about to collide with the main world soon. Why is there no news at all? Or are we supposed to wait?” I continued asking, seizing the opportunity to chat with Principal Beif to resolve some doubts.
“It should be a few more days. Don’t worry; proper operation generally won’t affect the normal social order of the main world.”
“Ah? It won’t?”
“Of course not. Do you want to see chaos in the main world? However, there is indeed that possibility, but that would signify that the small world experienced an uncontrollable accident during the fusion with the main world, but that also falls within the plan.” Beif Alanna said nonchalantly; at worst, the order of the main world would reset again, and the external public opinion was also prepared. The doomsday theory was rampant, and coupled with the recent extraordinary terrifying events, the main world indeed fell into some chaos.
However, this social atmosphere was more conducive to luring those players from the game worlds. They had long desired the resources of harvesting various soul materials from the game worlds, and the expansion of the main world’s territory required a lot of soul materials to cycle to increase the population.
“I see…” I must say that learning this news left me somewhat disappointed; I was expecting a world upheaval. Surely the things that Principal Mei previously told me weren’t merely half-truths?
Indeed, I still have too little sense of belonging to this world, such that I could coldly observe even if the world was drenched in blood, and even feel regret at not witnessing it.
“Xiao Han, you seem to dislike that world. Do you have any thoughts on this script?”
“I do dislike those guys, but… I don’t have any thoughts. I’ll just refrain from adding to the chaos.” I waved my hand.
After all, such a significant matter must have been planned by all the extraordinary academies together; meddling could ruin everything, and that wouldn’t be good.
Although I did have a poor impression of those players in this game world, it seemed that in some respects, the Witch Race had done even worse than them?
But given the different stances, I would naturally have my biases and positions in viewing issues. They disturbed me and made me feel disgusted, so they were enemies.
“Are you sure? Xiao Han, are you sure you don’t want to get involved?”
“Um… If Sister Beif has any issues, just tell me directly. If it’s convenient, I wouldn’t mind lending a hand.” Seeing the tone of Principal Beif, I felt somewhat taken aback; the hints of temptation and coaxing were evident.
“Alright—since Xiao Han isn’t falling for this, I’ll be direct. Are you interested in ultimately helping to harvest this game world? I know you have Reverse Summoning Spell, and I think you would be a great harvester.” Beif’s tone changed to one that implied a negotiation.
“Me? Go harvest a world?” I stretched my neck, instinctively pointing to myself with my finger, asking incredulously.
“Yes, don’t you think it’s interesting?” Beif Alanna affirmed.
“But… I don’t see myself as the best candidate, do I? And even if I have the Reverse Summoning Spell, Teacher Ji has already publicized it, right? Isn’t it something anyone can use?” Or is this the principal opening a back door for me? Though I didn’t voice that last question.
“Xiao Han, don’t underestimate yourself. Where’s your confidence? You are completely qualified to say that you are the best under the Extraordinary Witches of the Witch Academy.”
“Is… is that so?” Suddenly praised like this, I felt a bit unaccustomed; although I wasn’t clear on the division of battle strength, saying that I had achieved so much was undoubtedly indisputable, and I recognized that.
“Of course!” Beif Alanna patted my shoulder, giving me affirming encouragement, akin to a boss painting a rosy picture for employees. However, I could feel that Principal Beif’s intentions were good.
“This incident has already established that extraordinary levels cannot intervene, and the extraordinary academies cannot meddle too much. Moreover… don’t forget, you are the one who cut the Earth Vein Shackles. Collaborating with Reverse Summoning Spell to harvest, I think that’s excellent. What do you think?”
“That seems… quite reasonable…” I nodded but then felt something was off. “Wait, since the extraordinary can’t intervene, generally speaking, those who haven’t reached the extraordinary level can’t break free of the Earth Vein Shackles to reach that world… what’s the point?”
“The meaning is that just before an extraordinary person takes action, you are the only one who can harvest that world as a fallback. Take a time difference, Xiao Han, have you forgotten that world also has at least a copy of [Extraordinary Knowledge]—don’t you want it?”
“I… can I take it?!” I stared wide-eyed at Principal Beif, somewhat incredulous.
“Of course! You are capable; what’s the harm in sending you another copy of [Extraordinary Knowledge]? Sisters who help the Witch Academy shouldn’t be treated poorly!”
At that moment, I instinctively swallowed, startled by the principal’s generosity!
Though I wasn’t confident that this copy of [Extraordinary Knowledge] could be successfully turned into a Great Spellbook, if possible, I would like to try studying [Extraordinary Knowledge] step by step and experience what it’s like to create a Great Spellbook.
I could even wait until I achieve becoming an Extraordinary Witch, learn to master Real Editing Technology, and then would not be late.
“Alright, stop daydreaming. Instead of fantasizing, it’s better to focus on what you have at hand. I’ve spent a lot of time here already; let’s meet again next time.”
“Okay, Sister Beif, take care.”
I smiled as I bid farewell to her, watching Beif Alanna leave. I instinctively stretched and decided to energize myself.
I truly should take a break; perhaps I should check on the status of those Fool Dreams. I can’t keep letting them try various meditations.
While they weren’t looking for me, it was just the right time to go out and see what Sister Bai was doing.
