Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?
Chapter 631 -
Chapter 631: The Highly Sought-After Darling: Xiaohan!
When I finished explaining the concept of the Reincarnation Spell, Mei Linde was the first to suggest joining and expressed her willingness to assist me in perfecting this Spell.
Following closely were the few Witches who were watching the show on the side.
Truthfully, they were neither Witches of the Soul Domain Project nor Witches specializing in Resurrection Spell-related Spells, but they were willing to help.
Help with what?
Helping to create the Spellbook, or rather, modding the Spellbook.
Modding the Resurrection Spell Spellbook into the derivative Spell, the "Reincarnation Spellbook."
They were Transcendent Witches, and Witches who mastered True Editing, so they were very proficient in this area.
Actually, I didn't necessarily need this help.
It wasn't my first time creating a derivative Spell that replaced the original Spellbook; the Great Tree of Knowledge came about this way, and its predecessor, the Tree of Knowledge, was derived from the Memory Bookshelf Spellbook.
However, having the help of these Witches would undoubtedly bring me great convenience.
Because they were genuinely curious and concerned that a terrifying Spellbook like "Reincarnation" could be born in the Witch Academy!
In the Witch Academy, researching Grand Spellbooks was not the only research project.
The birth of some very important Spells was also quite eye-catching.
However, after a round of understanding and research, the Academy Head and the Witch Sisters discovered that the "Reincarnation" Spell I constructed had a certain difference from the true Reincarnation Spellbook.
Mine was more like... a simplified version.
It even seemed that only I could use it after its creation, because the external techniques it relied on and the self-use threshold were simply too high.
The true Reincarnation Spellbook was a terrifying Spellbook that could be used with virtually no threshold.
It could even resurrect a person from nothing without requiring spell-casting materials, even if the target's body was completely destroyed.
And such a Spellbook—one with no threshold, no spell-casting materials, and no requirements—was the perfect state truly pursued by spell-casting techniques.
Such a Spellbook had only one rigid condition: the magic power required for casting reached the unit of ten thousand.
According to the cases the Academy Head and the others knew of, resurrecting a single person, an ordinary person, with this Resurrection Spell consumed nearly 500,000 Magic Power!
500,000!
And it couldn't be paid in installments; it was fifty times the capacity of my current Magic Power Source!
But at least this kind of Spellbook had no use threshold, no requirements, and no spell-casting materials; this was a complete Spellbook.
It was just... my current concept was not complete, so there were quite a few extra requirements, but one thing could at least be confirmed... I could afford to use it now.
For me, the low usage threshold was exchanged for using other techniques as prerequisites.
The true Reincarnation Spell was extremely rare, and its upper limit was far higher than that of the general Resurrection Spell.
Even its lower limit was very high.
But even so, this did not diminish the enthusiasm of Academy Head Mei Linde and the Witch Sisters.
Because I had this foundation, this Spellbook had a complete future.
What was currently missing was the inability to incorporate my techniques into this simplified Reincarnation Spell using the True Editing technique.
The prerequisite for the True Editing technique to create a Spellbook was that the user must completely master all the techniques to be used in the Spellbook.
Therefore, there was only one way to completely perfect the Reincarnation Spell: wait until I became a Transcendent Witch and learned the True Editing technique.
Of course, they could also learn my techniques.
But setting aside whether I was willing to teach, just the ability of self-awakened Body Cultivation could not be found in the Witch Academy...
Not to mention my Floating World-level Spirit Vision, my methods of acquiring information, and so on.
As this temporary "Reincarnation Spellbook Creation Team" was formed in Academy Head Mei's office, it also attracted many Witches to come and observe.
Although this was not a Grand Spellbook, a temporary team established in Big Sis Mei's office was indeed enough to draw many Witches to watch the fun.
Not to mention the composition of this team: one Witch Academy Academy Head, one Witch Academy Teaching Assistant, and several Transcendent Witch mentors who didn't even possess the Resurrection Spell Spellbook.
Such a group of Witches creating a Reincarnation Spellbook that even the Witch Academy didn't possess was truly something that made Witches curious.
In fact... most Witches were quite arrogant, and many even had exaggerated ambitions but little practical skill.
This could be seen from the fact that some Witches, as soon as they arrived in the Main World, immediately wanted to join the Grand Spellbook Creation Team.
Many Witches looked down upon the general Resurrection Spell and didn't even have its Spellbook, at most using it for collection to enrich their Spellbook inventory.
Learning to cast the Resurrection Spell Bare-handed was enough, and besides, the general Resurrection Spell couldn't be used on oneself.
Normally, having a friend who knew the Resurrection Spell was sufficient.
However, they were very interested in the "Reincarnation" Resurrection Spell, which had its own derivative name.
This phenomenon was perhaps similar to how women in the ordinary world pursued luxury brands; the more famous the name, the more sought after by Witches.
But Spells were not luxury goods.
The more famous the Spellbook, the more powerful it was; this was an absolute truth in most cases.
However, these "spectator" Witches could only watch the excitement from the side in front of Academy Head Mei and dared not say much.
Respecting Spells and techniques was a common cognitive understanding shared by Witches.
This was true even though the primary technical person for researching this Reincarnation Spellbook was only a Lesser Witch.
The creation of this Spellbook took more than two days, or rather, this was only a modification using the Resurrection Spell Spellbook as a prototype.
It was already extremely simple for Academy Head Mei Linde, yet it still took several days.
However, compared to a Witch who might take more than ten days to complete a basic Spellbook, this efficiency could be called divine speed.
And as the to-be-perfected Spellbook was finally completed, a burst of celebratory cheers erupted from Academy Head Mei Linde's office!
Compared to the distant Grand Spellbooks, this was the domain that Witches most frequently encountered: scarce Spellbooks with unique effects.
And now that the Reincarnation Spellbook was complete, the first thing to do was naturally to bestow brand new bodies upon Fool's Dream!
“Right, I was so busy with this Spellbook, I forgot about this. I'll share this with you. This is all the information on the original template I made for Fool's Dream's temporary bodies. Now you can rely on Reincarnation to completely engrave their appearance information onto their mimicked souls.”
Mei Linde said.
“Thank you, Big Sis Mei.”
I quickly expressed my gratitude and used the Great Knowledge Sharing Technique to receive this segment of information.
Academy Head Mei really didn't need to cooperate with me and waste time doing this.
Once I had enlightened these concepts, the Academy Head could have completely given me this information and let me handle it myself.
However, to achieve the current level, it might have taken longer, perhaps a month or two.
But she didn't; she was the first to take the lead in helping me.
After acquiring the Fool's Dream body template, I didn't hesitate to start learning and integrating it into the Reincarnation Spell.
Resurrecting a person would not be this troublesome, but I also needed to transcribe Fool's Dream's life information into their life essence, so this was not a simple task.
The consumption was also not small.
Furthermore, my current Magic Power Source capacity was only a little over ten thousand.
I couldn't complete the transformation of all the Fool's Dream girls in such a short time, but I could complete the initial metamorphosis for Fool's Blue, Fool's Luck, and Fool's Fruit.
“Academy Head, you finally finished being busy.”
Just as I was busy shaping bodies for Fool's Dream, a few Witches who had been waiting on the side came forward.
“Hmm? I remember you are from Xiaohan's lab, right?”
Mei Linde looked up at these Witches who proactively approached her.
Since they were looking for her the moment she finished her work, they probably had something important to say.
“That's right. The experiment for the Tree of Knowledge condensing the Seed of Knowledge in our lab is completely finished! And we've conducted multiple rounds of testing and calibration these past few days, and the information grading is basically adapted!”
“Really? That is indeed good news.”
Mei Linde was genuinely happy to hear this news.
After all, the successful experiment of the Seed of Knowledge also meant that cooperation projects with other Transcendent Academies on the Seed of Knowledge officially began.
“Then what about the mass production technology?”
“The lab samples were just perfected. And the testing type Seed of Great Knowledge also requires Xiaohan's supply, right? I lost the rock-paper-scissors, so I have to bring Xiaohan back.”
This Witch Sister said with a bashful scratch of her head and a laugh.
“Oh? Is that so... is Xiaohan that highly sought-after now?”
Academy Head Mei also joked.
But in terms of objective reality, she truly was highly sought-after.
Unbeknownst to them, there was currently a group of students in the Expansion Realm searching everywhere for Teaching Assistant Xiaohan's whereabouts.
Because at this moment, standing on the city wall of Ninglan New City, one could see with the naked eye that the Dream State Overlap area was slowly creeping towards the outer wall and the buffer zone!
A little later, I carried the completely renewed Fool's Dream girls and came before the Academy Head.
“Thank you, Academy Head.”
The three Fool's Dream girls waved their small hands, expressing their most sincere gratitude to Academy Head Mei.
“Such adorable little ones.”
Mei Linde also reached out to pinch these little ones.
Why hadn't she thought these little ones were so cute before?
Perhaps it was because she had given the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell to someone else, allowing them to bear the heavy burden for her.
“Alright, since you've been delayed here these past few days, it's time for you to go, right? If you don't leave soon, this person is going to physically carry you back.”
Mei Linde said with a smile, pointing to a Witch beside her.
This Witch Sister was from my lab, and I still remembered her.
“That's right. I've been waiting for you. The Academy Head is still counting on the Tree of Knowledge cooperation to strengthen in-depth communication with other academies.”
This Witch Sister said this while pulling me, ready to go out.
Meanwhile, the other Witches still remaining here eagerly surrounded Academy Head Mei Linde, begging for the research materials for the Reincarnation Spell.
These were rare Spellbook research materials!
Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't be able to get them without a connection!
It was lucky that they were at the Main World Witch Academy; otherwise, they wouldn't have the qualification to shamelessly ask for them.
Although they might not be able to create such a Spellbook based on these materials, studying this kind of material could enrich their cognitive foundation.
Witches specializing in Resurrection Spell-related research were especially persistent about this!
They were Witches of Resurrection Spell-related research projects, but they couldn't create this Spell.
What did that mean they were lacking?
They were lacking ideas, lacking inspiration, and possibly lacking any unintentional detail!
So they desperately needed these materials to help them complete their cognitive boundaries.
“Alright, alright, stop fighting. I will organize my portion of the materials and send them to you, but it will be limited to my records. I will not disclose the cognitive information from Xiaohan's perspective without Xiaohan's permission.”
Mei Linde saw so many Witches shamelessly asking for the materials and gave in.
However, she only provided her own insights and experiences.
This Reincarnation Spellbook was primarily guided by Xiaohan's ideas, but they were also participants, and she also learned many things.
What one learned naturally belonged to oneself.
But she also understood that Xiaohan had also learned many things in this attempt.
This was a mutually beneficial cooperation, and what one learned was entirely up to one's own ability.
She could process her own insights and share them for free, but she could not make a decision for Xiaohan.
Even though she likely thought Xiaohan would make the same decision, she could not decide for her, because Xiaohan was no longer the Xiaohan of the past.
The Xiaohan of now was a legitimate "Lesser Witch"!
And at this moment, I was led away by the Witch Sister from the Academy Head's office and encountered unexpected people outside.
“Teaching Assistant Xiaohan, that's great, you really are here!”
“Hmm? Who are you?”
I looked at the group of people who swarmed around me the moment I came out.
They weren't mentors; they were just students.
“We are students who went to the Expansion Realm. Teaching Assistant Xiaohan, we finally found you! We heard you were in the Academy Head's office, so we could only wait outside. Please quickly return to the Expansion Realm!”
“What's the matter? I have other things to attend to. Don't bother me if it's not important.”
I said.
“It's like this: at Ninglan New City in the Expansion Realm, the surrounding Dream State Overlap area is about to engulf the outer wall and the buffer zone! If the Dream State Overlap area spreads into the city, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
“Is that all it is... Haven't you learned the Dream Magic Spell? Mentor Elena is teaching how to cast this spell Bare-handed in the city. Why are you calling me?”
I waved my hand, my expression one of indifference.
“Exactly! Do you have to trouble Xiaohan for such a trivial matter? Is it more important than the urgent matter we are about to do?”
Just as the girl was about to say something to move me, the mentor beside me immediately spoke up.
And with the mentor's words, these students immediately quieted down.
They dared not refute the mentor.
If a mentor had something urgent to trouble Xiaohan with, then it was truly not their turn.
But the only person who could solve the Dream State Overlap problem was this one person...
“But... this...”
“Don't bother me with this useless stuff. Don't think I don't know what's happening in the Expansion Realm. Isn't it just the Dream State Overlap problem? It's not like you can't adapt. Moreover, you've already learned the Dream Magic Spell that Xiaohan created. Without it, you would only be much worse off. Have you turned into overgrown babies who only think about getting resources in the Expansion Realm and only ask for help when encountering difficulties?”
The Witch Sister's words were blunt, causing the girls to lower their heads and not dare to breathe loudly.
“Go back and figure out how to adapt yourself. I'm taking Xiaohan with me. Unless she is willing, don't expect her to help you.”
“Yes... yes!”
The few girls quickly ran away after being reprimanded, afraid that if they stayed too long, they would be lectured again.
If a mentor from the academy held a grudge against them in this way, their future good days would likely be gone!
“How was that? If you don't want to do something, just refuse bluntly. Students who haven't gained the comprehension of becoming a Transcendent Witch are all so useless. Don't spare their feelings.”
Looking at their retreating figures, the Witch Sister smiled at me and said, her tone even carrying a hint of disdain.
“Thank you, Big Sis.”
I responded with a smile.
However, this was also my first time witnessing the Witches' true attitude towards the students.
Indeed... they were not polite at all.
“It's nothing. Let's go. The lab needs you to preside over the overall situation. Our Scholar Xiaohan is a Lesser Witch who is going to lead us to do something great!”
