Chapter 1006: Headmaster Mei Linde: Give Me a Chance
“Why not? The Witch Contract has never been a tool for witches to make things difficult for other witches.”
Headmaster Mei Linde spoke casually.
Although the extension of her meaning might not be correct, this statement has no fundamental issue; the Witch Contract has never been a tool for witches to trouble each other.
Specific situations should be treated accordingly, and this phrase applies perfectly to the current situation.
“That’s good, that’s good… No matter what, since you say this, I will definitely thank you, Sister Mei.”
“You flatter me. Can you really be so clear with Sister Mei?” When the topic returned to her rhythm, she felt the conversation becoming lighter.
Even she didn’t expect that Xiao Han would place such importance on a small matter; perhaps it involves something she cares about?
However, Headmaster Mei Linde didn’t think too much of it; Xiao Han was just dreaming, just a small matter. Fool Dream isn’t a witch, so it hasn’t reached the level of her concern.
What did pique her curiosity was whether Xiao Han would let Fool Dream become a branch of the witch race in the future, potentially becoming something like Fool Dream Witches… Just imagining such adorable kin households within the witch race made her a bit excited.
“Also… I was too strict in my expectations of Sister Mei; it’s my fault…”
“As long as you understand the problem,” Mei Linde straightened up from her slouch on the sofa. “Since you mentioned the contract, let’s reconfirm the witness contract and the trial this time so you won’t misunderstand later.”
“Reconfirm? That sounds good!” I quickly nodded. As long as this matter could be clarified, I would feel relieved.
“Then I’ll be straightforward. Let’s review the situation from back then. At that time, you were gaining a reputation in the academy, and under the suggestion of your counselor, you entered the Fool Village Secret Realm. In the realm, you initially exhibited your strong talent in Spirit Vision, along with your insight and comprehension of transcendent levels.”
“Actually, during that period, I had already set aside the progress of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell to a certain extent. Without your insight at that time, it would have taken me dozens or even hundreds of years to initially complete the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell.”
“That… shouldn’t be so exaggerated, right?” Upon hearing Headmaster Mei’s words, I felt a bit strange.
“Regardless, you have already perfected the Great Spellbook. When I say it would take hundreds of years, that’s how it is,” Mei Linde asserted firmly at that moment.
“Sister Mei is right!”
“Then let’s continue. After completing the creation of the Great Spellbook, I entrusted the Great Spellbook and Fool Dream to you. The Great Spellbook was an investment, while Fool Dream was the most compatible attachment to the Great Spellbook.”
“To ease your anxiety, I suggested this was a trial for you. Since it’s an investment, I proposed a share of Extraordinary Knowledge and two primal spell sequences as my return, which would also sync with your trial task.”
“During this time, I guided you with my words, making the first trial chip your share of Extraordinary Knowledge awakened at enrollment. I also informed you of the concept of primal spells and encouraged you to acquire two primal spell sequences through the life experiments of Fool Dream.”
“Xiao Han, that was basically the process, right?” Mei Linde asked with a smile.
“Yes, more or less.” I nodded, not paying much attention to some details; it was indeed like that at the time.
“Then let’s take a look at that trial from our current perspective?”
“Okay.”
“First off, regarding the investment I gave you, the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell has already been dismantled by you, so in principle, what I actually gave you is what you referred to as the Fool Dream’s sacred object, Extraordinary Knowledge, and the dream state consciousness of Fool Dream. I didn’t use any terminology incorrectly, right?”
“No,” I shook my head and said, “But I think that’s not quite right. Originally, the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell indeed gave me significant inspiration, and many special skills I mastered were created during that time.”
“Don’t say such things lightly; in the end, you dismantled it all anyway,” Headmaster Mei teased.
“Uh… Are you still upset about me dismantling the Great Spellbook?” I spoke somewhat shyly.
“Old things must go for new ones to come. Although I couldn’t understand it at first, just now, I changed my mind because I also want to witness a miracle: the Primordial Great Fool Dream Transformation Technique. If it succeeds, I must let Sister Mei widen her horizons!”
“Yes! Definitely!” I nodded firmly.
With Headmaster Mei saying this, I naturally felt it inappropriate to say anything else.
“Then there’s the matter of the trial and the investment return. Actually, I did have some selfishness regarding this; I can forgo the primal spells…”
“Wait! Sister Mei! How can that be? One matter is one matter; I believe…” Hearing Headmaster Mei’s words, I immediately interrupted her, but before I could finish, my words were interrupted by Mei Linde.
“Alright! I can accept those two primal spell sequences, but… I hope you don’t have to give them to me, how about that?”
“…?” I was momentarily taken aback by Headmaster Mei’s words, finally tilting my head and instinctively forming a question mark.
“This witness contract has no compulsory execution deadline, meaning you can delay indefinitely, until your or my life reaches its end; this contract holds no execution constraints, and this is somewhat my personal desire…” Mei Linde began to explain.
“I foresee my own path. Indeed… In the Main World, I am undoubtedly very successful, respected by many witches, but I feel I can’t move a step further. The limit that the Main World can reach is likely my future limit. Strength isn’t everything for every witch, but you’re different. Your seriousness and passion for the extraordinary, along with that persistence many witches fail to understand, combined with your talent, you can go further…”
“In fact, I somewhat regret not investing in you earlier. After your rise, the things you accomplish could potentially affect arrangements at my level, so I wanted to take this opportunity to leave behind a connection: the Great Spellbook, and since you had just started to rise, I wanted it this way…”
“Sister Mei…” I interrupted Mei Linde’s words and continued, “Just now you told me to call you Sister Mei without being too formal, but now it seems you’re getting formal with me!”
“Formal… Yes, I have been a bit formal,” Mei Linde chuckled as she shook her head, then looked at me again: “Xiao Han, regarding what I just mentioned… Have you considered it? Even if you haven’t, it’s fine; I won’t make things difficult for you on this matter.”
“What did you just mention? I didn’t quite catch that~ Sister Mei, weren’t we talking about primal spells? Something as important as the Primal Grace Spell, of course, I can’t simply give it to Sister Mei; you’ll have to wait a bit longer!” I said, but before I could finish.
“Don’t worry~ I definitely won’t default, let’s talk again when I want to create a new race! But creating new races is really too difficult. You’ve experienced it firsthand, and the uncontrollable factors are just too many. If it takes several billion years, I hope you can understand my difficulties. If that doesn’t work… we can discuss changing the contract content at that time, how does that sound?”
As I finished speaking this long paragraph, Mei Linde, who was initially a bit dazed, suddenly brightened up!
“Xiao Han, you really…” At this point, Mei Linde laughed, impressed by Xiao Han’s eloquence.
She truly didn’t know what to make of Xiao Han; sometimes her emotional intelligence could make witches pity her, and at other times, she would be exceptionally articulate.
“So this means Sister Mei should understand my difficulties, right? I’m usually so busy and exhausted, I really can’t find the time to create completely new races. The primal Fool Dream spell sequence is something you personally said does not meet the contractual conditions! That cannot be retracted.”
“Alright, alright! No retractions!” Mei Linde replied with a smile. “Then if that’s the case, there’s no need to discuss the contract matter further, right?”
“Hey~ Wait! I quickly said.
“Is there something else, Xiao Han?” Mei Linde was somewhat surprised; since Xiao Han had already agreed to this matter, there shouldn’t be anything else to handle.
“What about Extraordinary Knowledge? Sister Mei, will you forget this?” I asked. The Great Disabling Spell originally belonged to you, right? I answered with two primal spells, and it might not include this portion of Extraordinary Knowledge.
I was well aware of how important the Great Disabling Spell was to Headmaster Mei Linde. The Grand Spell had been forcibly used by her and ultimately shattered in the world.
The so-called talent awakening ceremony during enrollment was essentially a way to use “randomization” to try and retrieve the Experimental Knowledge from the shattered Great Spellbook over time.
It can be imagined how much Mei Linde valued this. Now that it lay before her, how could she possibly not want it?
“The Great Disabling Spell…” Mentioning this term, Mei Linde uncontrollably fell into reminiscence.
“Don’t think of your companion Mei as if she’s nothing without the Great Spellbook! Even now, I still exist as someone many extraordinary beings fear. Regarding that portion of Extraordinary Knowledge, you can keep it with you; you can even study it, try it, use it for experiments.”
“And then I can create a brand new Great Spellbook and return it to Sister Mei?!” I continued seamlessly.
“Truly… Uh, cough cough, I never said that; that’s your guess.” Headmaster Mei cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment and continued, “If you really have that ability, I look forward to your results.”
“Mm! If I have time, I’ll definitely try.”
“You should follow your own rhythm. I’m not in a hurry; I’ve long passed the stage of rushing. I have plenty of time to wait, allowing things to slowly develop,” Mei Linde said.
In fact, she genuinely hoped Xiao Han would explore it herself; perhaps she could come up with something.
If that portion of Extraordinary Knowledge returned to her, it would only turn back into the Great Disabling Spell and would take several years.
Given the current situation in the Main World changes daily, she no longer had enough time to settle down to create a Great Spellbook.
It would be better to leave it with Xiao Han to see if a miracle might occur.
“Alright then~ Since Sister Mei says so, I’ll temporarily take care of it for you.” I reluctantly accepted the Great Spellbook of Extraordinary Knowledge from Headmaster Mei.
“Mm, that’s best! After all, Xiao Han, you now have prestige among the witches that possibly surpasses even me, the headmaster. If someone seeks death trying to come after you, there would definitely be a lot of extraordinary witches to stand up for you…”
After saying this, Mei Linde sighed and continued, “Sigh~ If you elevate to the extraordinary and gain saintly status, becoming a Saint Witch, I can guarantee that if you express a desire to become headmaster at the Witch Academy, they could immediately create a new position for a headmaster, so I trust you with my Extraordinary Knowledge.”
“Come on, Sister Mei; you’re exaggerating!” I quickly waved my hand.
“I’m serious! Xiao Han, you’re not fond of socializing, nor do you attend tea parties. Perhaps you don’t truly understand your influence. Your perspective need not remain at that of a student; you are already an honored little witch and recognized as a witch by the witch race!” Headmaster Mei said earnestly.
After saying this, she relaxed her expression and decided not to continue this topic. “Alright~ let’s not discuss this anymore.”
“Okay, then let’s not chat about it.” I nodded, “This time it was an interruption…”
“Wait~ don’t be in a rush!” Headmaster Mei held her hand up, stopping me from leaving.
“Is there something else?” I asked curiously.
“You really can forget things. Since you took the initiative to come here, you should also inquire about the King of Ancient Ice Remains.”
“Um… You can just ask the King of Ancient Ice Remains directly; it’s akin to asking me. He is my Life Clone after all! I know everything about him.”
“That’s true, but personally, I still can’t grasp the concept of Life Clones. I prefer talking with you directly; it feels more formal.”
“Alright then~ What does Sister Mei want to ask? I know that the King of Ancient Ice Remains is currently improving the craftsmanship of six-sided amber with a large group of witch sisters, and there are no barriers to progress.”
“I know that already. What I want to ask isn’t about the six-sided amber; it’s about the transaction you made with the World Consciousness. You want to return the King of Ancient Ice Remains a new life. According to your words, you should still not have mastered that method, right?”
“Yes, but it’s not difficult to attempt.” I confidently replied.
After all, with my talent, skills, and means, plus the backing of the Main World’s fortune interference, I couldn’t imagine how I could fail!
After all, the Main World consciousness wants to take in the King of Ancient Ice Remains even more than I do.
