Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 491 -

Chapter 491: Tan Han's Followers

"Have the antidote potions ready! That's poison smoke up ahead... damn the Wizard Academy!"

Seeing the smoke drifting towards them from a distance, pushed by an unnatural wind, several people immediately became vigilant.

The people led by Tan Han were on high alert.

Many took out potion bottles and held a mouthful of the potion in their mouths, then cast spells from their spellbooks.

"Don't waste magic power. Don't use non-large-scale wind-type evocation spells indiscriminately. Pay attention to the poison residue," Tan Han said as she waved her hand.

The wind spell cast from her spellbook swept everyone forward, and part of the poison smoke was blown away.

Then, the others' actions completely dispersed the remaining smoke.

But it was unknown how much of the seemingly dispersed poison smoke, how many invisible toxic substances, were still coming at them.

However, this could not be an obstacle for them.

The girls following Tan Han had lost count of how many times they had been ambushed by the Wizard Academy, but Tan Han remembered clearly: a total of six times.

She would not forget a single one.

Their methods were disgusting, but their individual combat power was somewhat lacking compared to them.

So at this moment, Tan Han's main focus was on finding the wizard's main body.

She was very confident that if she found the other party, she could directly eliminate them.

But Tan Han at this moment deeply understood that so-called power, or rather, martial force, was not omnipotent.

The strength she pursued seemed so powerless on this ever-changing joint exam battlefield.

But this was the predicament she had to face.

The other party wouldn't confront her head-on, so why would Tan Han want to bother with them?

In her eyes, this joint exam was not a simple free-for-all where people were just thrown onto the Bobapus Archipelago.

She had learned one thing from Little Han: the weak longed to win the competition, while the strong would choose to end it.

In this joint exam, everyone was pursuing the acquisition of score points.

Killing the opponent didn't score points, nor could you plunder their points.

The most stable and largest source of score points was naturally killing those monsters.

After two days, those monsters had basically been killed off.

At first, she felt that Lucianne's great fire had destroyed too many score points.

Countless monsters burned to death in the flames did not count towards individual scores.

But the guys from the Wizard Academy were even more ruthless.

They set fires everywhere to create small herds of fleeing beasts and then hunted them down, accumulating a large number of score points for them.

But the people from the Wizard Academy did not like to cooperate in large numbers, which led to the situation where although the individual acquisition of score points was high, many more died in the mountain fires.

They were frantically lowering the upper limit of score point acquisition with this method.

This was also a way to end the competition.

Now, the only monsters left were the most difficult to kill sea beasts and flying monsters.

Everything should have been like this.

After the monsters were killed, they would occupy the resource points and it would become a defensive battle.

But Tan Han saw another "shortcut," a way to end the competition in the most devastating way.

Taking advantage of the current advantage, kill everyone, and freeze everyone's score points at this moment... The end of this joint exam would probably be like this.

As for how to end all of this, Tan Han was very clear.

Little Han had already pointed the way for her.

Wasn't the direction they were heading in the answer?

What method could be more convenient than a volcanic eruption to wipe out an entire archipelago?

Although it was a bit too difficult to do such a thing, Tan Han still voiced this idea.

This idea naturally received the support of her closest supporters and friends.

But there was another very real problem... not everyone supported her idea.

Those who opposed the proposal had very realistic thoughts.

If the volcano was triggered, they would also suffer.

They could not follow a leader who was bent on taking everyone down with her to victory.

Some even threatened to leave on the spot after hearing it.

Tan Han did not try to keep them, and even stopped her companions who wanted to teach this person a lesson.

After all, no one thought that a volcanic eruption was a small matter.

Once the volcanoes of the archipelago became active, everyone would suffer!

When the teaching assistants couldn't save them in time, they would die in the lava!

Even if they ran far away, the terrifying volcanic ash and the rock fragments from the eruption could make it impossible for anyone to survive.

Even with Tan Han's story about the Resurrection Spell... not everyone would go along with Tan Han's "nonsense."

The pain of death, just thinking about it, they wouldn't go looking for suffering.

Not to mention the feeling of being engulfed by lava, slowly watching oneself approach death... the thought alone made their scalps tingle.

What if this kind of death, where not even bones remained, could not be resurrected?

No one liked to joke with their own life.

Of course, some people also felt that Tan Han's plan was unrealistic.

A joint exam should be like a joint exam.

Always thinking of stirring up trouble, who did she think she was?

Little Han?

Tan Han did not express any opinions on this.

She saw it very clearly.

She was just giving the other party an excuse to leave.

After getting along for these two days, she understood one thing: the Tan Han Support Group did not belong to Tan Han herself.

She should have understood this long ago, but she was still deceiving herself.

But she also understood that the human heart could not withstand testing, and once she had the idea of testing, she was destined not to be able to turn back.

Just like testing the hardness of glass, the piece of glass being tested was destined to shatter.

So she never made things difficult for those who spontaneously gathered around her.

But she didn't make things difficult for them, and they brought her huge trouble.

So Tan Han understood.

She did not have die-hard fans and followers who would listen to her, but a community of shared interests that had spontaneously formed, attracted by her own value.

The reason she hesitated was that when she asked herself if she needed such a group, she could not give a definite answer.

This group they had gathered seemed very useful, but it was also uncontrollable.

No one was always at their peak.

Even the Little Han she knew had had her low points in the past.

Suddenly, Tan Han somewhat understood those people who called themselves the Little Han Support Group.

Even if Little Han admitted that she was not a Child of Destiny, even if Little Han never responded to them, no matter what, there was still a group of determined people who silently called themselves the Little Han Support Group.

Because ever since Little Han fell to rock bottom that one time, she had never lost.

Tan Han really wanted to tell her support group that Little Han was the person they should be supporting, because Little Han could do what they expected.

But Little Han would never respond to them.

So... from this, it could be seen that some people didn't even have the qualification to follow the strong.

But fortunately... she still had this group of people who were willing to follow her.

However, now they were facing a problem.

Tan Han's plan seemed to have been leaked, and the other academies seemed to know about it... She didn't care how it was leaked or who leaked it, because she knew that the truth would only make her more upset.

"Follow me, we can't let him drag us here any longer. If the Holy Angel Academy gets involved here, we will be in even more trouble," Tan Han said quickly.

Her goal at this moment was the nearest resource point.

On the way there, she prayed that the resource point had not been found and poisoned by the Wizard Academy.

It was also her last stopping point before heading to the volcano, and a place for resource replenishment.

The later the stage, the more precious the resources at these resource points became.

And what she had just said about the intervention of the Holy Angel Academy was not just empty talk.

According to the current intelligence, those Holy Angels would really come over.

So her pressure was not small at all.

...

Here on the beach.

"So you think that dormant volcano can really be ignited?"

"Why not?"

I asked back with a smile.

"Little Han, a volcanic eruption is not something to be taken for granted. According to the information I have, the last eruption of this volcano in the Bobapus Archipelago was hundreds of years ago. At that time, there wasn't even the concept of a tourist beach here. There are many reasons for a volcano to become dormant. A dormant volcano caused by tectonic plate movement may have its crater completely sealed. Judging by the frequency of earthquakes in recent years, the pressure of the underground magma is clearly insufficient. And there have been no earthquakes or other factors here recently..."

"Thank you. I really haven't looked into some of the things you mentioned. But have you personally been to the crater?"

I first expressed my gratitude and then asked back.

"I haven't been there yet, but I understand what you're thinking. You want to use spells to violently trigger a volcanic eruption, right? But what you're doing is essentially blasting the rock layers. If you really manage to make this volcano erupt, this mountain top would have already been flattened by you. There's no point in doing that. And those students don't have such powerful spells. Even Tan Han can't do it. And... I heard she gave you all her spellbooks? Including that Super Consumption Spellbook..."

"I envy your knowledge of these things. It's much deeper than mine," I said with a smile.

"I just read a lot usually, so I have some impression of these things," Lin Yi said.

"Yes, you just have a slight understanding of it," I took over the conversation.

This way of taking over the conversation also made Lin Yi pause for a moment.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to contradict you. I'm stating a fact. If you had an in-depth understanding of the Bobapus Archipelago, you would find that the Bobapus volcano group has always been an active volcano. It has many craters, and we only focus on the largest one. In fact, there are also underwater volcanoes in the sea. Although many of the underwater volcanoes in the false world are newly added, not all of them are newly added by the false world."

"Logically speaking, the Bobapus volcano should have erupted long ago, but it hasn't. It has remained dormant like this for hundreds of years. You also said that there was no concept of a tourist beach back then, but after this concept was born, this volcano has never moved. Why?"

I didn't wait for Lin Yi's response and continued on my own.

"Because... it has been artificially blocked. This active Bobapus volcano has been sealed by a terrifying spell restriction."

"Sealed? How is that possible? Why is there no record of it?"

"Because the records about these things are all to deceive tourists. If you were an ordinary person, and you searched for information describing Bobapus as an active volcano, but it has been sealed by a Transcendent academy, would you still dare to come?"

I asked back.

"Sorry, I was inconsiderate. It's also my lack of practical experience to jump to conclusions. This is my shortcoming."

"It's okay. No one would go to great lengths just to get the truth about a small matter. Just like you don't know that Tan Han's spellbooks never really came into my hands, including that Ancient Glacial Ice Super Consumption Spellbook."

"..."

Lin Yi was silent for a moment.

She seemed to have made two mistakes in one sentence.

Each mistake pointed directly at her weakness.

As someone dominated by reason, she did not allow herself to make such mistakes.

This was equivalent to telling her that her answers were output by herself without going through her brain.

This unintentional mistake was what made her feel scared afterwards.

When facing a junior of her own, she had subconsciously looked down on the other party.

But no one should look down on anyone.

Who among those who could become teaching assistants didn't have their own skills?

She had heard before that this newly promoted teaching assistant had an improper relationship with a Transcendent mentor to become a teaching assistant.

She had even scoffed at it back then.

She didn't expect that she had been wrong from that time.

All of this was just hearsay.

The truth... she had never really tried to find out.

"Why have you suddenly stopped talking?"

"Oh, nothing. I just suddenly figured some things out. Hehe... I've benefited a lot from chatting with you."

Lin Yi was suddenly shocked after saying this.

This sentence seemed somewhat familiar... but now the person saying it was reversed.

"Then I must congratulate you," I said with a grin.

"What are your plans for the time being? Or are you just waiting for this joint exam to end?"

"Who isn't waiting for this boring joint exam to end? Otherwise, I wouldn't be here with you."

"So... what I said earlier about this joint exam being as bland as water is probably what I meant. If this is a play directed by a script, then what do you think the director would do when a play becomes boring?"

"Add more drama," Lin Yi replied simply.

"Right."

"You seem to see through many things. Do you think there will be any accidents in this joint exam?"

"It's not that I see through things. It's just that I know a little more. But I still don't have the ability to digest all this information and make it my own in such a short time. So I see many things very vaguely. Some things I do are also taken for granted. I don't know why, but I did it."

It can be foreseen that because of this, I will spend more time in the future to make up for this part that I once lacked.

"Are you... confiding in me?"

"It's just that some things have to be said."

I stretched, then got up.

"I've had enough rest. I should get up and go find trouble with others."

"Find trouble?"

Lin Yi turned her head to look at me.

She didn't seem to have any intention of getting up.

"Yes, the chessboard of the joint exam is about to be smashed. I want to take this opportunity to find more trouble with the teaching assistants of other academies and try to get them all to the review meeting after the joint exam, especially the preaching angel of the Holy Angel Academy and the Mother God's Guard of Aphrodite Academy. They are all the ones who like to cause trouble for me right from the start."

"Then I wish you success," Lin Yi said with a smile.

And just as I was about to say goodbye, suddenly the Bobapus Archipelago trembled, and a tremor like an earthquake came.

My Spirit Vision saw through the Grand Sorcery of the False World Space. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

At this moment, there was no sign of an earthquake in the real world outside, so I reacted quickly.

Soon, a plume of black smoke in the distance billowed towards the sky with a terrifying momentum.

That direction was... the Bobapus volcano.

"It was really ignited?!"

At this moment, Lin Yi could no longer maintain her previous composure and quickly stood up.

"Calm down, it wasn't. It's just an appetizer. They've touched the volcano's restriction, but they're still far from destroying it."

After receiving the information, I quickly understood the current situation and comforted her.

However, I was also a little surprised.

Were they already causing trouble at the summit so soon...

But things should still be within expectations.

It seemed I also had to go over and help Tan Han hold the line, to prevent her from being bullied by the teaching assistants of other academies there.

After all, I was now a patrol teacher with no violations, and my credibility score was good.

They should be very happy to see me.
