Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 479 - 188 Geyin’s Grand Stage

After lunch, Tilan and her group, led by students from the Crystal Lattice Academy, arrived at the famous "Imaginary Sphere" within the academy. On the outside, it appeared to be a giant sphere buried underground, with the entrance located directly above the sphere.

Once they walked into the circular hall, which resembled a ring, there was a round entrance in the center of the main hall. Looking down from the outside, one could see a vast spherical world inside, with about five thousand immersion pods distributed along the inner wall of the sphere’s underside, each with white and blue indicator lights, and a few orange ones.

"White indicates vacancy, blue means someone is inside, orange signifies the person inside is in an unstable condition or has used it for too long and needs to be monitored, and red represents an emergency situation, at which point resident teachers and Autonomous Units will come to inspect and provide assistance," the girl dressed in a blue uniform with white trim explained to Tilan.

"Our Academy’s student uniforms are equipped with magnetic devices. Just jump down from this round opening, and you’ll be caught and stabilized by the magnetic field at the bottom, so you won’t get hurt. If you’re going down, it’s best to take this," she said, passing over a lightweight belt.

"After you jump, the belt will generate a glass-like sphere around you, and then slowly lower you down. Don’t worry, you won’t fall to your death," she added with a laugh.

"Sounds pretty fun," one of the boys from Edith Academy said as he took the belt and put it on.

He walked to the hole at the dome’s top, jumped, and began to fall. About 1-2 seconds later, a blue sphere formed around him and wrapped him up, then slowly lowered him onto the central plaza at the bottom of the giant sphere.

"Let’s go." The others also took turns taking the belt and jumped down. Now only Tilan was left.

"Don’t you need one, Tilan?" the girl from Crystal Lattice Academy asked curiously, seeing she hadn’t taken a belt.

"I have some flight ability, so I don’t need it," the young girl explained, then went to the edge of the hole and lightly leaped down.

Air currents blew upwards from below, and the girl quickly adjusted her posture to lean forward, then emitted a faint white halo from her body, making herself as light as a feather. Finally, she lightly tapped the ground with the tips of her toes, landing smoothly in the plaza.

"That’s quite impressive," several students from Crystal Lattice Academy followed her down. They had planned to use their abilities collectively to save the Songstress in case of an accident, but it seemed their concerns were unnecessary.

"Come this way, Cooper will help you with temporary cards," she said, guiding the group to a counter at the edge of the plaza, where a benevolent-looking teacher with glasses swiftly processed cards for them.

"Just insert this into the card slot on the side of the immersion pod to activate it."

Afterward, the group headed to the nearby vacant immersion pods, while Ed from Edith gave Tilan and the others a rundown on the purpose of this building.

"You all must have heard of the Aijieka network. By utilizing the Aijieka network, many things can be accomplished, from studying, acquiring knowledge, to sparring with top figures from various Star Domains on the network, all of which are advantageous activities."

"But the Aijieka network is also riddled with various dangers, some areas and zones that even the Federation has difficulty policing."

"This is our Academy’s dedicated Aijieka Immersion System. You can think of it as an independent and autonomous mini Aijieka network, with realism and safety multiple times higher than that of the regular Aijieka network. It allows students to use it freely without worrying about safety issues."

"After entering immersion mode, you can take advantage of the state of Immersion into Aijieka Sea to obtain thought speeds far surpassing reality. That is to say, if you study here for three hours, perhaps only an hour would have passed outside."

"You can also engage in uninhibited combat with classmates through immersion mode, trying out various moves and combat skills in the virtual world without fear of injury. This feature can also be used to simulate various opponents stored in the data library."

So that’s how it is, thought Tilan, recalling the Crystal Lattice Academy students who had observed and collected data during the ’Hat and Short Sword’ confrontation with Thunder Edge Academy the other night.

If they had collected data, then they could simulate the opponent here, getting accustomed to the opponent’s attack patterns and combat reactions, thus gaining an advantage in later battles.

During these few seconds of reflection, another girl beside her had already inserted the card into the immersion pod and stepped inside.

"Geyin’s gone in," Ruby remarked, unable to refrain from commenting as she watched the silver-green haired girl beginning to lie down.

"No need to worry about her," reassured Tilan to Ruby.

Geyin was a girl who had grown up on a space station, and she was especially fond and familiar with the Aijieka network. Logically, such a child of the stars should have applied to the Crystal Lattice Academy, Tilan thought to herself.

Then, with the assistance of staff members from the Crystal Lattice Academy, they each entered the immersion pods and activated them.

The world turned pitch black, then a bright light shone suddenly.

It was a sensation akin to walking on land bathed in bright moonlight. Tilan slowly grew accustomed to the feeling of immersion into the Aijieka Sea,

And as her consciousness gradually stabilized, a door appeared in front of her. Pushing this door open, on the other side was a void world filled with various lights. Many doors hovered above and below, most closed, but some open, and out of these, figures familiar to Tilan emerged.

"Over here~ Tilan." At Ruby’s call, Tilan floated over, and soon, the people in this illusory space gathered together.

"Now, the flow of time here is one-third of the outside world." Yalian opened the small screen in front of him, which displayed the time.

"What a convenient space and equipment," someone curiously looked around.

"Doesn’t our school have this?" asked a freshman from Edith Academy.

"We do, but it’s not as large as Crystal Lattice Academy, and the time flow here is only twice that of the normal world."

"Because there are not many students in our academy who focus on the Aijieka Sea and AI technology, the school’s investment in this area is limited, unlike Crystal Lattice Academy, where almost all the students are Spirit Particle Sequence."

While they were talking, Ed also brought over the students from Crystal Lattice Academy.

"Has everyone arrived? Then let’s enter the first scene," he said, clapping his hands, and an archway formed by two huge stone pillars appeared before them.

The tightly closed doors then slowly opened, revealing the scenery inside.

In the bustling Combat Arena-style building, students from Crystal Lattice Academy battled each other. They wielded straight and intense Light Sabers, piloted massive war machines, or manipulated autonomous units like swarms of bees. A plethora of abilities and skills emerged, creating a colorful scene.

"This is our academy’s routine training and sparring place, simply referred to as ’Sky Combat Arena’."

Now, let me take you all to get acquainted and have a look around. If anyone wants to give it a try, you can join in and experience what it feels like to fight in the virtual world of the Aijieka Sea."

Gorgeous lights fluttered chaotically in the tumultuous scene, but a girl with deep blue hair particularly stood out. She was tall and voluptuous with teardrop-shaped gem earrings on her ears. As she stepped onto the stage, many spectators focused their attention on the rising marble checkered platform.

She swung her hand forward, and a colossal machine gun materialized in front of her. The gun was steel-blue with clearly defined mechanical textures and gears that twisted smoothly and rapidly. When they reached a certain angle, the sound of a catch halting could be heard, and the dial on the gun barrel stopped on that line.

Deep blue circuit patterns lit up on the barrel, and then a fierce Laser Beam was unleashed, piercing through the mechanical beast standing opposite on the platform and burning a fist-sized hole in it.

"Boring," she waved her hand as the large steel-blue gun barrel shrunk and converged, then faded away.

After looking around, she called out a few opponents she deemed still worth challenging, but those named directly admitted defeat without stepping onto the platform.

"It’s getting more and more boring. The newcomers this year are just not up to scratch," she said, waving her hand, preparing to leave, but then she noticed Tilan and the others who had come in with Ed.

’Ho ho, it seems the president has brought some interesting guests this time.’ She certainly recognized that these newcomers were not from Crystal Lattice Academy, and one of them immediately caught her attention.

"It’s you. Do you dare to come down and challenge me? Don’t hold back any moves."

As she waved her hand, a giant palm also appeared in the air. Its index finger mimicked her motion, pointing at one of the students from Edith Academy—the girl with silver-green hair.

"Me?"

After a few seconds of silence, Geyin unwittingly responded, seemingly just realizing that she was the center of the challenger’s gaze.

Surprisingly, upon realizing she was the one being addressed, Geyin did not refuse or calmly walk away. Instead, she leapt down and gently landed on the dueling platform.

’This child’s thoughts are truly inscrutable,’ Tilan shook her head, ready to keep watching.

In her view, Geyin was a student who had a special understanding of the Aijieka network technology and was unlikely to be at a disadvantage, especially since this exchange was meant to understand the gap between their academies—why refuse?

On the platform below, this unusual and rare duel involving a student from an outside academy quickly drew the attention of students and spectators alike. As the girl with deep blue hair summoned the large gun barrel again, Geyin also displayed her astonishing talent.

Like a grand ball from medieval times, precisely crafted gearwork automatons walked out from the ripples behind Geyin. Some wore dark copper-colored corset dresses, others held violins, or wielded slender Rapiers, or wore masks. Beneath Geyin’s feet, a stage with rotating gears appeared, turning incessantly as if wound up.

"I never would have expected it—a Transcendent with a complete projection space. Such a talent is even envied and admired in the Aijieka network full of geniuses," Ed explained to the Edith Academy students nearby who were unfamiliar with the Aijieka network.

"What a pity; if only such a child could come to our Crystal Lattice Academy."
