Chapter 1020: Forging World Courtyard
After a whole day of discussions and fermenting, the breathtaking sight of the twin suns finally received an announcement from the academy.
The notice to the outside world was simply that “normal extraordinary experiments are ongoing within the academy.”
However, more details were provided within the academy.
It notified that “the evolution of the Self-Generated Magic Physique talent has made breakthrough progress into the Infinite Magic Talent.” There was no explanation regarding what Infinite Magic was, nor was there a detailed description of how far the breakthrough reached.
The only thing specified was that the person leading this advancement experiment was Teaching Assistant Yang Yuelan.
The infinite blank space truly gave countless students unlimited room for imagination.
Some even began to anticipate when Infinite Magic would be promoted widely, just like the Self-Generated Magic topic had.
Yet, at the same time, the group of Extraordinary Witches did not seem particularly enthusiastic. Many witches were staring at the threshold requirements provided by Principal Mei Linde, exchanging glances of disbelief.
They had never encountered such a devilishly difficult learning threshold before!
And among these witches, there were still some who were not ready to give up.
But it was evident that no matter how determined they were, they could only return home disappointed in front of Mei Linde.
After dealing with these matters, Mei Linde left a clone behind, exited her office, and headed towards the most core area of the Witch Academy.
The most important place in the Witch Academy was, of course, the academic research area, but this level also needed to be divided.
For example, the experiment zone located within the curtain walls of the Witch Academy belonged to the academy’s highest academic research area on the surface.
The Principal has absolute management authority over this area, such as allocating a laboratory for Xiao Han, or even adjusting a section to become a special Primordial Dream Laboratory, and so on.
Then there are the hidden areas.
For example… Teacher Ji, who was once Xiao Han’s advisor, after the formal establishment of the Great Spellbook research group, her laboratory became an independently developed space.
There, even the academy’s earth vein network signal could not cross the barriers of space.
Of course, with the birth of the Great Knowledge Seed and the Great Knowledge Sharing technique, this developed space has received a more convenient communication channel.
This independently developed space is home to the most elite academic witches in the Witch Academy, and there are many special research groups within, where the Great Spellbook research project is perhaps the most conventional.
There are quite a few such independently developed experimental spaces in the Witch Academy,
Typically categorized by research, such as the Extraordinary Knowledge research group, Life Experiments, Spellbook Optimization, and Spellbook Field Order Analysis Group, etc.
These all belong to regular high-standard academic areas, and they rarely participate in academy matters.
Thus, the Witch Academy appears to be governed solely by Mei Linde.
After all, witches are free; some prefer to delve into academic studies, while others enjoy a carefree life, or simply the joy of teaching.
If one had to draw a distinction, it would be that those in the academic space are the industrious witches, while those in the academy are more relaxed.
The two groups seldom cross paths and hardly encounter significant issues.
After all, no matter who it is, even witches do not like having a top student nearby when they are supposed to be having fun; the sound of turning pages can be more disturbing than an explosive spell.
There is also a particularly unique aspect within the Witch Academy.
That is a witch group established based on a super large instance space.
To explain, it is akin to what the Betraying Witch Sheryl refers to as… those ancient hawk relics.
However, the positions of these witches can certainly hold sway even among the Witch Race.
The reason they came to the Main World is that they are optimistic about its prospects and wish to stay there and slowly observe its development.
Many key issues regarding the restoration technology of the Main World can also be attributed to the experience accumulation of these “antique-level” academic witches.
And previously targeted by Sheryl, Principal Serena Palizel is one of this group, or rather, a representative.
She belongs to the “younger” category among them, which is why she was chosen to serve as the Honorary Head of the Witch Academy.
This instance realm is a massive instance world forged by this Principal using Star Alchemy.
Whenever there is a significant move in the Witch Academy, Mei Linde would proactively make a trip to chat with these few.
In recent years, she has been particularly light-footed about going; as for the reason… let’s not get into that.
This time she was heading over again, ostensibly to have a chat and foster some camaraderie, after all, they do enjoy hearing about some interesting happenings.
For example… little witches creating great spell frameworks, or little witches tearing great spells apart…
“You’re hiding quite deep—how about you take me with you this time?”
Just as Mei Linde was on her way, a figure caused her to stop in her tracks.
“Do you usually have so much free time?” Mei Linde raised an eyebrow, not expecting to be targeted by this Betraying Witch this time.
She had intentionally avoided this character before; this sudden encounter was indeed a bit rushed, allowing the other party to catch up.
“The Witch Academy in the Main World guards me like a thief. Naturally, I had to focus my attention on you, the Principal~ So, guess where you are going?”
“……”
“Hmm~ I guess you are going to meet some seniors?”
“Seniors? I thought there were only old curmudgeons in your mouth.”
“That’s not quite right; the old seniors of the witch race are worthy of my respect. I understand their conservative mindset, but I admire their carefree attitude— the vitality of the race always comes from the younger generation!”
“Even if you say that, I won’t take you inside.” Mei Linde gestured towards Sheryl.
“Then… how about a chat?”
“What do you want to talk about? Something about Xiao Liu? The things you asked me to inquire have already been announced.”
“Infinite Magic~ Whether it’s the name or the learning threshold, it gives me goosebumps. So… did Xiao Liu succeed?” Sheryl asked.
“The risk is too high. I can only advise Xiao Liu to be conservative and ensure her safety, but Xiao Yuan has already developed a mature and pending verification success approach, and I feel she’s close.”
In the face of such a crazy attempt, being a little radical is not without merit; otherwise, you could miss a great opportunity. You shouldn’t limit Xiao Yuan’s growth with your own thinking.”
The things Xiao Yuan is experimenting with are no joke; they pertain to Void Rifts! Xiao Yuan herself is not extraordinary, and a small misstep could lead to utter doom. Are you willing to be responsible for any potential deaths from being too radical?”
Just as these two were about to fall into a stalemate over their ideological disagreements, a figure appeared.
“What are you two arguing about here?”
The witch who spoke was Serena Palizel, the third Head of the Witch Academy.
“Principal Serena, what a coincidence! Did you just step out for some fresh air?” Mei Linde gathered her emotions and turned to speak.
“Yes, I just learned that the academy has gotten into some trouble again. I was about to come out and find out more.”
“It’s truly been a while~ It’s fate we meet again. How about taking me in to see the world? After all… I’m also an esteemed Betraying Witch in the Main World,” Sheryl interjected.
After all, she was the only Betraying Witch mixed into the Main World.
“Then let’s all go together.” Instead of stopping Sheryl from entering, Serena Palizel took the initiative.
Hearing this response, Mei Linde’s expression shifted slightly, while Sheryl looked rather pleased.
“Since it’s an invitation from Principal Serena Palizel, then I shall enter~”
“…” At this moment, Serena somewhat regretted having agreed so readily.
But a promise is a promise; as fellow witches, they had not done anything unbecoming. A Betraying Witch merely acts rebelliously; it does not imply a rebellious attitude as a fellow witch; otherwise, that would be treachery.
At this moment, although Mei Linde was puzzled, Serena had already agreed, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to block them, especially since she did not personally mind Sheryl; it was simply a matter of personal bias.
“Are we heading to an instance realm? Can you give me an introduction? After all, it’s my first time~”
“The Forging World Courtyard, an instance realm I personally forged; the world fragments were taken from the Main World, obtained from the Forest Elves of Ahfuhemimi.”
“The Forging World Courtyard… that’s quite an ambitious name~ So what’s inside? It’s so mysterious that Mei Linde shook her head at not letting me in; you can’t just tell me there’s a Truth Witch in there, right?”
“What are you even thinking? If there were a Truth Witch in the Main World, I’d just have to stir the waters a little, and that Head of the Wizard Academy, that old guy Tusk, would probably come running, begging me to spare his life.” Mei Linde spoke up.
“Seems like you have a point~”
Sheryl did not find herself embarrassed by Mei Linde’s rebuttal; she found this quite fascinating.
Moreover, she had only mentioned the Truth Witch casually; the Truth Witch wouldn’t settle in the Main World for retirement.
Under the guidance of Serena Palizel, the three witches quickly entered another world.
Surrounded by lush wild jungles, the path beneath their feet twisted and turned, leading them to a clear, vast area.
Sheryl reached out to brush her fingers across the branches ahead; a blend of greenery scent mingled with the fragrance of flowers wafted through her senses.
In just a moment, she felt the unusual nature of this instance realm and couldn’t help but marvel at the enjoyment it offered.
As they walked down the forest path, they entered a sea of flowers.
The gentle breeze of the world cycle stirred waves among the flowers, which Sheryl recognized.
Demon Wind Chrysanthemums.
These were not flowers native to the Main World, but looking at the vast and spectacular flower sea indeed brought her a sense of lightness and freedom.
An old-fashioned little house sat nestled within the flower sea, its pale lavender roof complementing the color of the flowers, with silhouettes moving in and out of view.
One figure bent down to pick flowers, and upon rising, seemed to catch sight of the three figures.
As a breeze passed, petals swirled around them, and it felt as if whispers were calling them over.
“Looks like the witches here are welcoming me~”
“They’re all old friends of mine. Logically, when you, the Betraying Witch, visit our Main World, you should meet them,” after all, this Betraying Witch’s power had already surpassed Principal Mei Linde, so she naturally had the right to visit these seniors.
It was indeed necessary to invite a stable presence to discuss matters with Sheryl, given her status and strength already posed an unstable factor.
All being extraordinary witches, it would be best if talk could resolve some prejudices and barriers.
“Is that so~ I’m quite looking forward to it~”
……
Primordial Dream Laboratory.
The efficiency of the Extraordinary Witches was remarkably swift; whether it was the curtain walls above the academy or the skylights of the laboratory, they were promptly repaired.
At this moment, I, accompanied by Sister Bai, experienced the birth of a completely new Life Clone.
This time, the birth of the Life Clone was not as rushed as the last one was in secrecy.
This clone evidently absorbed a significant amount of my energy.
The newly born life essence, along with the self-awakened body cultivation, self-generated magic power, and a series of abilities, was far more compatible than the previous Life Clone.
If this Life Clone wanted to experiment with Infinite Magic, it would require some time to adjust to the power it had mastered, enabling it to better cope with the various emergencies of the Infinite Magic experiment.
“Sister Bai~ If that’s the case… with this Life Clone, don’t you feel like that outer incarnation is no longer affecting you?” ×2
At this moment, I and the Life Clone were lying on Sister Bai’s body, and I had long wanted to play this way. I thought of it when I first created the outer incarnation.
However, the outer incarnation was clearly not me, and Sister Bai even said that such a surrogate felt a bit distant, so I hadn’t let the outer incarnation be too intimate with Sister Bai.
But now everything was different; both little clones were me, with the only difference being that they didn’t have to rely on mastery of power, and also the adjustment period of the new body.
At this moment, Sister Bai subconsciously let out a bit of saliva… at this moment, she truly couldn’t distinguish which was the real Xiao Xi…
Although Xiao Xi said both were her, one was a real person, how could there be two?
This cognitive issue was beyond her understanding… and there was some line in her heart that she could not cross.
“It seems like Sister Bai hasn’t quite thought this through~” ×2
Seeing Sister Bai’s insistence, I couldn’t help but chuckle before pushing Sister Bai into an instance realm that belonged only to us.
“Then I’ll use a more direct approach to help you understand… the concept of life and miracles~”
The two of us, side by side, pounced into the wooden house, overwhelming Sister Bai.
By the time Sister Bai realized what I was doing, it was already too late…
