Chapter 119: Join and Enjoy Course Exemption

“What a coincidence. I was just wondering where to find you, and I ran into you here.”

Just as I was continuing to research the information on Earth Vein Stagnation, I was the first to see a figure walking towards me.

Ji Niang, who is my counselor.

I don't believe there are so many coincidences in the world.

Last time was a coincidence, and this time too?

I'm not such an easily fooled child.

If I didn't realize something was unusual about this, then there would be something wrong with me.

“Hello, teacher.”

However, I still greeted the teacher politely.

I had no idea what she wanted with me now, and Big Sis Bai wasn't by my side.

But this is the library, so I figured she probably wouldn't do anything too out of line probably.

“Little Han, the more I look at you, the more I like you. What are you doing in the library? Secretly studying in advance?”

Ji Niang ignored my guarded behavior and walked towards me.

Although she was a teacher, she didn't have the air of a teacher.

Her gaze simply fell on the materials in my hand, revealing a trace of surprise.

“Earth Vein Stagnation Oh, you even got ahold of this material? Let me guess, Tan Han gave it to you? After all, to get this in advance, I think besides Tan Han, no one else should be qualified to access it.”

“Yes, that's right.”

I nodded quickly, but I hadn't expected this material to be so valuable.

But since it's an annual event, shouldn't I be able to find out about it with a little inquiry?

But information is information.

Without knowing of its existence, you probably wouldn't be able to obtain such detailed and highly specific material even if you tried to ask around.

“No wonder. I saw Tan Han leaving the library alone just now. So she had arranged to meet you here. But I felt that Tan Han didn't seem to be in a very good mood at that time. Did you make her angry?”

“I guess so.”

“Then you might be in for some bad luck. Alright, let's not talk about that. I came to find you this time for some official business. Want to hear about it?”

At this point, Ji Niang no longer concealed it and directly revealed that she had come looking for me.

“Uh can I not listen?”

I asked tentatively.

“No, you can't. Little Han, why are you like this? I am your counselor, and you are the only class president under me. If you don't listen, who am I supposed to talk to?”

Ji Niang casually pulled up a chair and sat down next to me, her tone making it seem like she had me completely figured out.

“If that's the case, why did you even ask for my opinion, teacher…”

I muttered under my breath.

“Of course, it depends on your level of acceptance after I tell you about it, so I can make a basic judgment. So, I'm telling you now.”

“Okay, please go ahead, teacher.”

I rested my forehead on one hand.

I didn't expect Teacher Ji Niang to have this kind of personality.

Fine, just my luck.

“I want to invite you to join my research group.”

“Huh?”

I abruptly raised my head and looked at Ji Niang's half-smiling expression, unable to figure out what she was trying to say for a moment.

My confused expression seemed to be asking if she had misspoken.

I was a newly enrolled student who hadn't attended a single class, and now a teacher was inviting me to join her research group.

Research what?

Research me?

“Are you surprised? No, no, no, don't sell yourself short, you have the ability. Of course, it's not about researching you. Okay, I'll be honest, at least it's not the kind of research that treats you as experimental material.”

Ji Niang explained to me very frankly, but I felt that her explanation made me even more flustered.

In the end, it's still about researching me?

“Don't look at me like that. Think about your own special qualities. I'm inviting you, so you naturally have a value that's worth my invitation. If you're willing, I can give you the same treatment as that Tan Han girl, exemption from some courses. How about it?”

“Huh? Course exemption?”

I was shocked.

Of course, I was shocked at how terrifyingly capable Tan Han was.

Exemption from some courses.

I wouldn't be jealous of her.

With her abilities, self-study is much more efficient than attending classes.

So I wouldn't have a problem with her course exemption, but if I were exempt, then I would be directly missing that part of the knowledge.

I'm not a terrifying study god like Tan Han, who learns everything quickly.

“I can see some of your concerns. I thought you would find the courses boring, after all, the first-semester courses at the Transcendent Academy are all very basic content. You've also mastered the most important Witch Meditation Method on your own. I personally think you are qualified for course exemption.”

“Besides, after you join my group, it's not like you can't learn from me, right? At that time, the things you can learn will be much more numerous and profound than what you learn in the classroom.”

“This…”

After listening to Ji Niang's explanation, I was truly hesitant.

My instinct was to agree, after all, this was a rare opportunity.

But I was well aware of my shallow foundation and lack of even common knowledge about the transcendent.

If I jumped too high all at once, it might not be a good thing for me.

“In the world of the transcendent, talent is greater than effort. What are you worried about? You have the corresponding talent, so you have the foundation to stand at a high place. Could it be that you don't want to surpass Tan Han?”

Ji Niang crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, speaking leisurely.

“Huh? Surpass Tan Han?”

I was frightened by this goal.

After all, Tan Han had already surpassed the level of a newcomer at this moment; she was a high mountain that new students could not cross.

“You yearn for it in your heart, don't you? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that she has more Magic Power Sources than you? Or more spells than you? Aren't those things that you can have just by being given them? You are essentially on the same starting line. When everyone is optimistic about Tan Han, I am the only one who is optimistic about you, Little Han. What do you think?”

As she said this, Ji Niang's tone became more and more excited, and she might not have even noticed it herself.

“I think.”

“Hesitation is not a quality a strong person should have. If I were asking Tan Han, she would agree without hesitation. Even if she knew nothing, even if she didn't have your talent, she would still shamelessly come up to me and beg me. Of course, I'm not saying this to compare you with Tan Han, I'm just telling you not to hesitate when doing things.”

“Okay I agree.”

I nodded and said, but I also took what Ji Niang said to heart, and even thought more about it.

She advised me not to hesitate, and after her persuasion, I immediately agreed.

When facing the unknown, is it really advisable to blindly follow after just a few words of provocation from others?

I didn't think it was right.

I just couldn't find a reason to refuse her, and agreeing was just an excuse for compromise.

Or perhaps, I had thought it through.

I wanted to build a deep relationship with Ji Niang.

After all, fumbling around in the transcendent world by myself was simply a waste of life.

“A definite choice.”

Ji Niang stood up and clapped her hands.

It was clear that she was also very excited.

I just didn't know what she was excited about.

It was impossible for Ji Niang to seek me out for no reason.

Either she valued my unknown Transcendent Knowledge.

Or she valued my Floating World-level Spirit Vision.

Now I knew what a Floating World-level Spirit Vision represented.

According to the descriptions in popular science books, even among transcendent witches who possessed Spirit Vision, the level of most of them was only the third tier, the “Unknown” level.

So my fifth-tier Spirit Vision must have some wonderful uses that even I don't know about.
