Chapter 142: The Ruthless Person Who Crushed a Fireball With Their Bare Hands!

“I feel like there's nothing much fun here, but the popcorn here seems pretty good, and it's also very sweet.”

Big Sis Bai accompanied me on a tour around this place, familiarizing me with all the entrances, and even the various precautions for entering and exiting the competition grounds.

I even went through some of the entry procedures for contestants once.

After the novelty wore off, the plain atmosphere here became a bit boring.

Moreover, there were quite a few staff members setting up the venue.

Although people were allowed to come in and have fun, it really wasn't good to get in their way.

“If you like it, let's buy some more before we leave.”

Big Sis Bai pointed to the exit we were walking towards, where the popcorn shop was.

After I showed some signs of fatigue, Big Sis Bai suggested we go back and rest.

After all, walking a full circle around this arena was a very energy-consuming task, especially for a newly enrolled student.

A new student's Witchification process isn't high, and the changes to their constitution aren't many.

“Forget it, I won't eat so many snacks recently, I should eat some normal food.”

I looked at the time, it was almost noon. I only ate some bread in the morning, which was a bit of a bargain for Senior Ying Shiqian. If I had known, I would have eaten more, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten hungry so quickly, “It's almost noon, let's go have lunch first, in the afternoon…”

“What? You still want to do something in the afternoon?”

“Oh, no, in the afternoon I plan to study the Spellbook. Big Sis Bai, you gave me another Spellbook, and I need to understand its characteristics before the competition starts.”

I said somewhat apologetically, after all, looking at Big Sis Bai, it felt as if she hadn't had enough fun yet.

Besides, I sensed some problems and wanted to go back quickly, otherwise there might be an issue.

I feel like I might be being followed by someone.

This was the first time I was being followed.

At first, I didn't pay it any mind, as I hadn't considered this possibility, but under the effect of Spirit Vision, I had already seen through layers of obstacles to understand the sneaky person.

The other party's performance was very good, Big Sis Bai didn't seem to have noticed.

If I hadn't confirmed that their peeping gaze was indeed locked on me, I wouldn't be sure they were following me.

Although their appearance was completely visible to me, I don't know them.

I shouldn't have a group like the paparazzi following me, right.

As expected, having Floating World level Spirit Vision is troublesome.

I can tell when others are secretly following me.

The key is that if I were to approach, they would quickly hide, seeming to be afraid of me.

Are they afraid of me?

Perhaps it's Big Sis Bai who is with me.

Maybe I should tell Big Sis Bai, set a trap to catch them and ask them clearly.

“Big Sis Bai, I have something to tell you.”

I suddenly pressed close to Big Sis Bai and spoke in a low voice.

Bai Yu didn't seem to react at once and was startled by my intimate action.

“Ah? Oh, Little Han, don't be so startled. If you have something to say, just say it directly.”

“Hehe, it's actually nothing, I just saw some guys following me.”

I said in a low voice.

“What?

“Be quieter, let me tell you…”

After briefly explaining my meaning to Big Sis Bai, I accompanied her to a roadside restaurant.

Actually, this plan was very simple.

It was to have Big Sis Bai pretend to leave first, leaving me alone, and then give the other party an opportunity to see how they would react.

If there's no reaction, then it's simply that the other party has some problematic thoughts, and I can ignore it.

I'll go directly to 8401 in the afternoon to disassemble the Spellbook.

If they react and come to block me, I'll have Big Sis Bai take them down!

I suddenly realized that Witch Academy is also a dangerous place.

After all, the people around are all Transcendents who have mastered extraordinary means.

No one can be sure if people with power can still suppress the darkness and evil in their hearts.

And look at the name of this academy, “Witch Academy”!

Witches, whether in rumor or reality, are not easy characters to deal with.

Even in storybooks, they are villainous characters.

“Thank you for this meal, Big Sis Bai. I'll treat you next time.”

After eating, I temporarily parted ways with Big Sis Bai at the restaurant entrance.

“Then I'll look forward to it. Protect yourself.”

Bai Yu responded, then took out her broom and was about to leave.

At this moment, I was the only one left here.

The restaurant I chose was a bit particular.

To find the bus stop, I needed to walk through an empty alley to the other side.

Don't talk about taking the long way around, just ask if those guys would fall for this rare opportunity of being alone?

Just as I walked in, the figures I had “marked” also made a move.

It was obvious that they were no longer content with just staring.

After walking just a short distance, I felt people walking in from every intersection of this empty little alley.

The number alone reached three people.

And the first one I met was naturally the one coming towards me.

Looking at her attire and this demeanor, she didn't quite look like a newcomer.

This unrestrained style of dress and hairstyle, coupled with the piercings that showed a disregard for her body, gave her the air of a street punk.

But she was a student of Witch Academy after all.

Witchification wouldn't make them too ugly; they all had the illusion of being little delinquent girls.

I ignored her and just silently made way, but she took a step sideways just like I did, continuing to block my path.

“Senior, I have no grievances or grudges with you, do I?”

I said.

“Yo? What's up? You look like a newcomer, don't you? Don't you know you should bow when you meet a senior?”

“Hmm?”

I tilted my head and saw Big Sis Bai's figure on the roof of a nearby building.

I met her gaze and shook my head lightly, signaling her not to appear just yet.

After all, I wanted to see what kind of act this was.

This kind of trouble-making was just too theatrical.

“Don't give me 'hmm' or 'ah'. You're a very arrogant newcomer, aren't you? Are you unhappy with me? Let me tell you, when newcomers see a senior, they must behave respectfully towards me.”

This senior said while reaching out and starting to push me.

I retreated with the push, but when I turned around, I saw two similar-looking seniors blocking my escape route.

“This… isn't very good, is it?”

I leaned against a side wall, finding it somewhat comical to watch them pressuring me.

I never thought I would also experience being bullied in the academy, and it was even premeditated.

They had been following me for a long time.

“Big sis, stop wasting words with her. Wait until I use a spell to ruin her face, let's see what she does then.”

One of them quickly got to the point, even though I still didn't know what they were up to.

Robbery?

Sexual assault?

Or just enjoying the pleasure of bullying?

And they even started using a spell without another word?

The surging of the Magic Power Source in her body and the activation of the Spellbook.

A spell converged in front of her.

At such a close distance, I could naturally see it very clearly.

One must know that spells can be interrupted.

The simplest way to interrupt is to attack, forcing the opponent to give up casting the spell, and there are also technical interruptions.

No matter what spell is forcibly interrupted or stopped, one will suffer a certain degree of Mental Power backlash.

For example, the spell ritual forming in front of her.

A spell is a very fragile thing.

The more one studies its principles and internal structure, the more one can understand the truth.

That is, the essence of a battle between spells is to do everything possible to create a safe casting environment for oneself, and only then comes the game between the spells.

It's that simple.

Moreover, Spellbooks don't have instant casting, only quick casting.

The casting time can be compressed.

If one doesn't know how to internally modify the Spellbook, and relies solely on understanding and practice makes perfect, the efficiency of shortening casting time is very poor.

For example, the one in front of me, her Fireball casting was very slow, at least to me it was very slow.

Is she bullying me for being a newcomer and not understanding spells?

“Aren't you afraid of attracting the Disciplinary Squad by using a spell here?”

As I spoke, I stepped forward and reached out my hand, my Mental Power stirring, hooking into the opponent's casting ritual.

This kind of act, which disrupts the casting ritual instead of targeting the internal ritual of the Spellbook, will only affect the spell being cast this time.

If I were to tamper with the internal ritual of her Spellbook, she wouldn't be able to use her Spellbook normally anymore.

However, I was very familiar with the spell she was using.

It was a very common Fireball.

Although some structures were different from the Fireball I had studied, it was impossible for me not to recognize such a classic spell.

And at this moment, these few seniors were also shocked by my actions.

It was the first time they had seen someone poke a spell with their bare hands!

Doesn't she want her hand anymore?

This terrifying, high-energy transcendent element could instantly vaporize a person's hand.

She had seen spells interrupted, and alchemical items used for interruption, but she had never seen it done with a hand!

Isn't this person a fool?

But obviously, I was not a fool.

I knew the power of the spell at this moment better than they did.

Interrupting a spell is easy to say, but to actually do it is not something an ordinary person can accomplish.

This is where a Protective Spell, the energy shield, comes in.

As an energy shield rather than a physical one, it meant its “plasticity” was extremely high.

Originally, it was just a rigid sphere protecting the whole body, but now, it could also be a protective glove that fits the curve of my hand.

After dismantling and applying the energy shield spell, during tests of the Fireball's power, I often protected my hand like this to prevent the Fireball from causing explosions and high-temperature burns to my hand.

The protective effect of the energy shield against this kind of elemental spell could be said to be very good, and it even had a certain defensive capability against physical attacks.

And it was even more so now!

My hand directly inserted into the opponent's spell ritual, pinching the unformed core of the Fireball, and then pulled back under their shocked gazes.

The massive and unformed transcendent elements, condensed into incomplete runes, broke apart as the ritual shattered.

Even though this was a pure fire element, without aggressive energy, it still had a terrifyingly high temperature at this moment, shooting out in all directions before dissipating.

And the damage shooting towards me was easily blocked.

“Bare… bare-handed…”

At this moment, these three seniors were frightened by this scene, especially after the scorching energy fragments shot onto their faces, they retreated and rolled on the ground in a sorry state.

The senior who had blocked me just now, her mind was now completely filled with the scene of me reaching out and crushing the Fireball.

This completely exceeded her comprehension, even making them think they had targeted the wrong person.

How could this person who crushed a Fireball with their bare hands be a newcomer.

She had been at the academy for so long and had never seen such a ruthless person who could crush a spell with their bare hands!
