Chapter 143: Thanks for the Invite, My First Time Experiencing School Bullying

But this was not over.

A spell ritual appeared in front of my hand.

The casting speed of this spell was much faster than theirs.

My hand passed through the ritual, as if I was grasping that fireball.

But soon, that fireball was stretched, like a spear with two sharp ends, pointed at both ends and thick in the middle.

In fact, this was just a simple Fireball spell stretched at both ends, but at this moment, I was using it as a spear, pressing it against their noses.

“Se… Senior, Big Boss! We were wrong! We got the wrong person! Really!”

At this moment, the little delinquent girl at the side quickly and sincerely changed her position and kowtowed to me, while the one I was pointing at didn't dare to move at all.

She had no idea what kind of spell this was.

Just now she saw it looked like a Fireball, now it suddenly turned into a spear and could be held in hand.

How could a Fireball be held in hand for so long?

Could it be some kind of fire weapon summoning spell?

No matter how you look at it, this kind of spell doesn't seem like something a newcomer could possess, right?

“Sorry! We were also entrusted by someone! We were just doing a job for money!”

“Please! Take back the spell! What if... I mean if it goes out of control, it won't be good for any of us, it will... will attract the Disciplinary Squad…”

“Entrusted by someone? Who?”

I raised an eyebrow.

This was hiring someone to cause trouble?

Who?

I don't remember provoking anyone.

“This… we can't say this, please! Senior, we'll give you all the money we got, just let us go. The person we're looking for is just a newcomer from this year…”

At this moment, they were as humble as could be, but it seemed they had misunderstood my meaning.

A bit boring.

Senior students should have some strength, right?

Is it really okay to come looking for trouble with this level of strength?

“Why can't you say?”

I continued to press.

“A contract, we signed a witch's contract, if we say it, we'll be settled! And the binding force of the contract also prevents me from speaking!”

At this moment, this senior was crying miserably.

If it weren't for the fact that she was shedding sweat instead of tears, I would have almost believed her.

That makes sense.

This is the academy, and it's not a particularly remote place.

She was confident I wouldn't dare to kill her, but she was afraid I would teach her a lesson.

If they were disfigured, or had their hands and feet broken, it would cost them a fortune.

Healing spells are very rare, and a trip to the infirmary is expensive.

If I set their clothes on fire, wouldn't they be here...

She simply couldn't imagine it.

“A contract…”

I knew a little about this, after all, I had signed one.

So it wasn't good to force them.

But I still had a question, “Who was the newcomer you said you were looking for just now?”

“It's… it's the class president of Class 14, Yang Yuehan…”

Hearing a question they could answer, they immediately told me everything.

It seems they were indeed looking for me.

“Little Han, it's useless. I probably know what's going on. Leave the rest to me.”

At this time, Big Sis Bai also walked over from nearby, “Also, Little Han, what you did just now almost scared me to death. Don't do that kind of thing again!”

“Big Sis Bai, oh, I know.”

Seeing Big Sis Bai come out, I immediately stopped acting all cool and aloof.

But afterwards, I was scolded a bit by Big Sis Bai, and I immediately put on an attitude of admitting my mistake.

After all, my actions just now could indeed be called adventurous, but is there anything in the transcendent world that isn't dangerous?

Even casting a spell could blow yourself up.

If one is even afraid of this, then it's better not to get involved with the transcendent.

“Okay, then… I'll leave this to you, Big Sis Bai?”

I asked tentatively.

After all, since Big Sis Bai had arrived, there was probably nothing left for me to do.

“Mm, the following scene is a bit unsuitable for children. Little Han, you should step aside for a bit.”

Big Sis Bai waved her hand at me, signaling me to leave.

“Mm… okay…”

I reluctantly turned and walked to the corner.

Actually, I was still very curious how Big Sis Bai would deal with these guys.

After all, a river of blood and all that, who doesn't like to see that?

But soon, their heart-wrenching screams came from behind me.

The screams were so tragic that listeners would shed tears and hearers would feel sorrow, it even made me a little unable to face them.

But after a while, there was no more sound, until Big Sis Bai appeared in front of me.

“Big Sis Bai Is everything resolved?”

I asked in pleasant surprise.

As for Big Sis Bai getting hurt, I wasn't worried.

If even I could scare those guys to that extent, it must have been a piece of cake for Big Sis Bai to handle them, right?

“Mm, it's fine now, you won't encounter these problems anymore.”

Big Sis Bai came over and said in a doting tone, even reaching out her hand to stroke my head.

“Really? Then can Big Sis Bai tell me why they were looking for me?”

I watched Big Sis Bai's hand rest on the top of my head.

Actually, as a boy, I don't like people touching the top of my head, but if it's Big Sis Bai, I don't mind.

Anyway, I'm a girl now, so I'm not afraid of not growing taller or anything.

That's all superstition!

“Remember those posts on the academy's website about the newcomer ranking predictions?”

“I know, is it related to that?”

I asked curiously.

“Mm, in order to get more information before the official competition begins, they will use some methods to test the newcomers, such as this kind of trouble-making that you might run into. Maybe the class presidents of other classes will also encounter a situation like yours.”

“Ah? They're so rampant and the academy doesn't do anything?”

I asked with wide eyes in disbelief.

Isn't this just straight-up school bullying?

Harassing contestants before the competition, aren't they afraid the academy will come after them?

“Of course they'll manage it, but this kind of borderline behavior is not easy to manage. You know, the academy won't go to great lengths over such trivial matters, and they don't dare to be too heavy-handed with the newcomers, otherwise it would just be asking for trouble for themselves.”

“Alright…”

I sighed.

I didn't expect them to gather intelligence in such a way, sigh, wouldn't it have been better to just pay me for an interview?

If they had given the money they gave those little delinquents to me, I would have been willing to talk!

Now, not only have they left me with a bad impression, but they also didn't get much information...

Wait, it seems they did.

I demonstrated Fireball and the energy shield.

Those are all my tricks.

Damn it, I haven't even gotten my hands on their money yet.

For them to follow me for so long and then come looking for trouble, they must have been paid a lot.

“It's fine, they won't dare to do it a second time, otherwise I'll make sure they can't handle the consequences.”

“Mm, I'm not worried. Big Sis Bai believes in my strength. I've been at the academy for so long, I'm not a newbie anymore. I understand many things.”

“Mm, I've seen Little Han's growth with my own eyes. So, where to next? To that laboratory of yours? Do you want me to take you there?”

“Mmm… Actually, that attempt which wasn't really a fight made me realize that I don't necessarily have to research Spellbooks in that laboratory. Big Sis Bai, do you know if there's any place in the academy where one can freely test spells? I remember there is, right?”

I thought for a moment and asked.

“Places like that, there are quite a few. There are spell testing grounds and pressure resistance venues.”

Big Sis Bai recalled and said.

“Then let's go to the testing ground. Are there private places for one person there? Or is it open-style?”

“The main feature there is testing in independent spaces. Spells are inherently dangerous and might affect others, so they are usually independent spaces.”

“Okay! Then let's go there and try!”

I finally decided on this place, and Big Sis Bai led the way, opening the map for the spell testing ground for me.

I had never been there before.

After we got there, Big Sis Bai opened a standard testing room for me.

It was only when it was time to pay that I discovered the fees here were so expensive!

Upon further inquiry, specific equipment, like disposable test targets, test dummies, or access to special-effect solidified spells, were all charged extra.

Alright, it's all about money, money, money.

Suddenly, I felt that the free laboratory was quite good.

But Big Sis Bai had already paid the money...

Sigh...

People who didn't know would think I was being kept by Big Sis Bai.

“Little Han, do you need some test dummies?”

Bai Yu asked, tilting her head.

“Ah? That won't be necessary. The spells I'm testing don't need to have their power observed so directly. Besides, since we opened this room, aren't there some free test dummies and dynamometers included? No need to spend so much.”

I quickly waved my hands and said.

After all, what I wanted to test were the Spirit Cat Summoning Spell and the Illusory Clone Big Sis Bai gave me.

These types of spells are not the kind that directly cause damage.

I looked around.

Although it was empty and spacious, traces of battle could be seen on the surrounding walls, floor, and ceiling.

After all, the interior here was reinforced with spells, so it wouldn't collapse due to some explosion.

Of course, there were also some spell restrictions here, all for those spells with extremely high consumption, which had nothing to do with someone like me who couldn't even use spells with a three-digit magic power consumption.

“Little Han, which spell do you want to try first? Or do you want to try the Illusory Clone I gave you first?”

At this moment, Bai Yu also stood aside expectantly and asked, “Let me remind you, the Illusory Clone spell is a bit special. Its effect only works on targets that can be affected by illusions, just like you. The dummies and various tests here can't satisfy the testing needs of this spell.”

“Eh?”

“There are also test personnel for this aspect here, but the advance payment required is quite a lot. Do you want to hire them, or should I accompany you for the test?”

“Eh? Big Sis Bai, you'll test with me? But using this spell on you…”

I looked at Big Sis Bai in surprise, not expecting her to suggest such an option.

“It's just an illusion, it's nothing. Don't underestimate Big Sis Bai, you know. Or you could use it on yourself?”

“Eh? I can use it on myself?”

“Of course, spells don't distinguish between friend or foe, why can't you use it on yourself?”

After explaining, Bai Yu came to stand opposite me, “While there's still time, let's treat it as an after-lunch exercise and begin.”
