Chapter 158 : Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Guard Against Fire, Guard Against Thieves, Guard Against Your Bestie

After leaving the arena, I discovered that the atmosphere outside was even more enthusiastic than inside.

The crowded streets and the flow of people created a lively scene.

Moreover, there were various market areas planned by the academy, where you could see many senior students casually setting up street stalls or selling homemade snacks.

As I walked, I ended up with a lot of delicious food in my hands, and was even recognized by many people who asked for photos.

After all, such an explosive event had just happened in the morning, so it naturally became known to everyone.

However, it seemed that my appearance was not universally known, just to the extent of being somewhat familiar.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to wander around here so freely.

But sometimes I would still be recognized, and it was only then that I discovered that the so-called free reimbursement quota given to the contestants by the academy was somewhat useless.

The senior students who recognized me wouldn't even take my money.

Compared to that, they were more interested in taking a photo with me as a memento.

Some even wanted to shake my hand, making me feel like some kind of rare mascot.

There were even many senior students who were very direct and wanted my contact information, but Big Sis Bai was even more proactive than me in blocking them for me.

After all, if there were too many contacts on my phone, I wouldn't be able to keep up.

Accompanied by Big Sis Bai, I also saw many interesting things and learned that besides studying spell knowledge and obtaining spellbooks, there were many other professions in Witch Academy.

Such as Alchemists who refine various alchemical items, Enchanters and Blacksmiths who solidify spells and inscribe runes on various weapons, Potion Alchemists and Apothecaries who research potions, and so on.

Seeing these, I finally faintly felt the magical sensation of a transcendent world like those in novels.

I had been so engrossed in the research of spellbooks before that I almost thought spellbooks were the entirety of transcendent power.

After all, the classification of spellbooks was also very broad, almost encompassing most of my understanding of transcendent power, because with spells, there was truly nothing that couldn't be done, only things that hadn't been thought of, at least in theory.

At a street stall, I even saw a senior student selling spellbooks, but after getting closer, I found that the spellbooks she was selling were lesser spells without internal rituals, and they were evocation-type spells.

If they were something like a silence spell or some control spells, I might have been interested, but I had no shortage of evocation spellbooks.

Teacher Lina had already compensated me with many spellbooks, and the one-point consumption spellbooks basically included various common elemental types of spells.

However, this also made me understand that such lesser spellbooks were not very rare in the academy, and were even somewhat rampant.

If it wasn't for a spellbook with a special effect, I wouldn't even have the desire to look at them now.

These spellbooks were not even as interesting as some alchemical items with solidified spells.

So in the end, Big Sis Bai accompanied me to a shop that sold all sorts of strange alchemical items.

“Big Sis Bai, can this kind of alchemical item also be displayed so openly?”

In this shop, I picked up a slender and smooth short rod.

It had an integrated design, a fully enclosed and sealed exterior, and excellent water resistance.

It had an energy storage crystal inside, with an ultra-long standby time.

After activation, it would resonate as one, bringing a wonderful feeling that vibrations alone could not satisfy…

At least, that's what the instruction manual said.

“Ahem… this shop is a bit irregular, let’s go to another one.”

Big Sis Bai came over, silently took the item from my hand and put it back, then took my hand and prepared to leave.

“For real? Big Sis Bai, is the atmosphere at Witch Academy this open?”

Even so, I was still very curious.

After all, thinking about this kind of thing would make anyone blush, right?

The feeling of wanting to try but not daring to tickle my heart.

“Well… pretty much. Little Han, you’re not a child anymore, you should naturally know about this kind of thing, right? Witch Academy is full of girls, so for this kind of thing, we can only rely on ourselves to be well-fed and well-clothed.”

Big Sis Bai was also very embarrassed at this moment.

Although she wanted to explain, she didn't know how to start.

“Oh what about you then, Big Sis Bai?”

“What about me? Little Han, are you asking for a beating?”

Being suddenly asked this question, Bai Yu subconsciously blushed and ended the topic without a second thought.

“My bad my bad hehe.”

I dodged a few of Big Sis Bai's attempts to hit me, and then giggled foolishly.

So Big Sis Bai has one too?

Oh my…

It seems I've learned something incredible.

Unlike me, I haven't had a sex life to this day.

Abstinence is a daily routine for me.

Mainly because I can't bring myself to do it to myself, at most when I'm showering ahem…

But speaking of which, I am now a probationary witch.

Strictly speaking, I am neither a human nor a transcendent witch.

During this period, I don't even have the ability to reproduce, so where does this sex drive come from?

Actually, it's not that I don't have such thoughts, I just haven't acted on them myself.

But even as I was being pulled out by Big Sis Bai, my gaze still lingered in this shop reluctantly.

After all, the alchemical items in this shop were really too strange.

I wanted to take another look; these things were really eye-opening.

But Big Sis Bai obviously didn't think so.

She still treated me like a child, even though I was already an adult.

Adults should learn proper sex education and standard positions openly!

Being secretive will only lead to greater curiosity, and thus lead one down a path of no return.

“Huh? Wait, that person looks a bit familiar…”

“What, you see someone you know?”

“Uh… no, I probably saw something wrong…”

“You'd better have. If you see an acquaintance here, it’s best to stay far away from her in the future,” Big Sis Bai immediately lectured me.

“O… okay…”

I nodded guiltily, because the back I saw looked a bit like Dongli Yiren.

On the way, I opened my phone and sent a private message to Dongli Yiren to see what she was doing.

Soon, I learned that she was not near the arena.

Alright it seems my eyesight isn't very good.

After all, Witch Academy is full of beautiful newcomers and senior students, it's easy to get dazzled.

And I remember she's short on money, isn't she?

She probably wouldn't dare to come here to spend money, and be seen by me.

Maybe I'm thinking of my roommate's daily life as too miserable, to the point of having strange fantasies about them?

“Huh? Excuse me, are you the Explosive Witch, Yang Yuehan?”

“Ah?”

On the road, I was suddenly pulled by my clothes by a senior student, who then asked me with an excited face.

“Explosive Witch?”

I looked at her in confusion.

My name is indeed Yang Yuehan, but I remember being called the Hand of God before, didn't I?

“It’s really you! Why aren't you wearing your chest tag? I didn't even recognize you! Are your injuries healed already so quickly!”

“Um…”

I looked at the gazes of the senior students around me and realized something was wrong.

“Let's go.”

Bai Yu grabbed my wrist and led me away in a run, because the next moment, a crowd of people who loved a good spectacle squeezed over.

This was precisely why I took off my chest tag.

I don't like being surrounded and watched wherever I go.

“Where? Where is she? Isn't the Explosive Witch lying in the infirmary?”

“She must have snuck out for a walk.”

“Let me see, let me see, I haven't seen her up close yet!”

“Who is that person, daring to pull my Yang Yuehan like that!”

“Call her Little Han, you fake fan. And she's yours? I say she's mine!”

“Damn it! I haven't even held Little Han's hand!”

However, as I quickly left, the noisy crowd here also gradually dispersed.

After all, not everyone had the kind of crazy enthusiasm of a star-chaser.

“Phew, that was a bit scary, my snack even fell on the ground.”

After stopping, I looked at the bamboo skewer in my hand and felt a bit regretful.

But since it was all free, I didn't feel too bad about it.

After casually throwing it into the trash can, I looked at Big Sis Bai.

“Big Sis Bai, I heard it just now someone was asking who it was that ran away with me, oh? How does it feel?”

“Hehe, it feels great. These people still want you? Little Han, you are mine.”

Bai Yu looked at the crowd behind us that had calmed down, a triumphant smile on her face.

Even the hand holding mine was restlessly and gently rubbing the back of my hand.

“Big Sis Bai, how did I not know I was yours?”

“Uh… I misspoke.”

“Haha, Big Sis Bai, could you be taking this opportunity to speak your true feelings?”

I said jokingly with a smile, until I saw the expression on Big Sis Bai's face, and my smile gradually faded.

“No way… Big Sis Bai, are you for real?”

“Just kidding! We are good besties haven't we said that before?”

Bai Yu moved closer to my side, patted my shoulder with her hand, and said with a smile.

“Right! That's what I thought. When I was still a boy, nothing sparked between us, so now that I'm a girl, it's even more impossible.”

I said in a low voice that only Big Sis Bai could hear.

“Haha, more… more or less…”

Big Sis Bai also followed with a laugh and said, “Um, let's not talk about this topic anymore. We've been walking for so long, let's have a good lunch. In the afternoon, we'll go back to the arena and wait for the list of contestants for the revival round.”

“Right, I didn't realize we've been walking for so long.”

I looked at the time on my phone and nodded.

I can't just fool around like this anymore.

Even if I work hard now, it's too late, but I still have to perform well in the afternoon.

If something unexpected happens in the revival round in the afternoon, then I might as well find a brick and end it all.

“Today is Little Han's competition, so let me treat you.”

“Huh? I have free reimbursement, isn't free food good! Let's go, let's go, eat the most expensive thing!”

“You'll use up your quota very quickly like this, won't you?”

“The quota is very large, don't worry. Let's go, the experienced Big Sis Bai will take me to have the best meal nearby!”

I didn't care about these things and said directly.

After experiencing such a big battle this morning, although the result wasn't great, I still had to reward myself.

“Alright, alright let's go.”

Bai Yu said while stroking my head dotingly.

After being warmly treated, I returned with a slightly full stomach.

Actually, because there was still a competition in the afternoon, I had tried my best to restrain myself, but in the end, I was fed a lot by the restaurant owner.

Plus, not wanting to waste anything, I even packed a lot in my storage equipment.

I felt like I might not even be able to finish it all when I returned to the dorm, so I could let them have a taste of what good food is.

Now that I'm back at the arena, the noon time is reserved for the contestants.

It was only then that I discovered that the arena side actually provided lunch for the contestants.

Looking at the scene, it seems that not all of the morning's matches have been completed.

Right, after all, it's one-on-one combat.

Even if the entire arena is divided into many small arenas, there will still be many batches.

It will probably continue in the afternoon, and the list for the loser's bracket will probably be out a bit later.

The final massive battle royale in the afternoon will be the most intense part, but even so, there weren't too many empty seats in the audience.

After all, how can eating lunch be more fun than watching a competition?

Even if it's just newcomers pecking at each other, it's still more interesting than usual.

This reminded me of my previous life where even the worst national football team had so many viewers.

What's wrong with rookies pecking at each other?

“Please wait a moment, this is the area for contestants. Non-contestants, please do not follow.”

When I was about to enter, Big Sis Bai next to me was stopped by a senior student wearing a volunteer's uniform.

“Uh… um… can you make an exception?”

I looked at Big Sis Bai and then at this senior student, asking softly.

“Huh? You're Yang Yuehan! Ahem… even if you are Yang Yuehan, you can't. I have to think about all the contestants. What if she harasses other contestants?”

This senior student quickly recognized me.

Although she was very excited, she still restrained herself.

“I guarantee that Big Sis Bai will not harass other contestants!”

I patted my chest and guaranteed.

I still had great faith in Big Sis Bai's character.

How could she possibly harass contestants?

Big Sis Bai was not like those senior students who had nothing better to do than to come and get close to people.

“A guarantee is not enough. Rules are rules. This will make my job difficult.”

“Alright then…”

I looked at Big Sis Bai, “Um, Big Sis Bai, let’s just say goodbye here? How about we contact each other by phone?”

“No, let’s just leave it here. You should also adjust your state of mind properly and get used to your new spellbooks and the alchemical items I gave you.”

Big Sis Bai shook her head and refused this suggestion.

“By the way, I'll go and get you another set of witch school uniforms and clothes. The ones you're wearing don't fit very well.”

“Alright then… see you later!”

“Mmm, I'll contact you when I get there.”

After bidding farewell to Big Sis Bai, I sighed.

Just as I was about to leave, I was called over by this senior student.

“Wait a moment, Little Han.”

“Senior? Why are you calling me Little Han too?”

“Uh, can't I? Everyone on the internet calls you that, especially the newcomer who claims to be your classmate and roommate said it's okay to call you Little Han.”

“Alright… Hong Chenyi… that girl. But it's fine to call me Little Han, it sounds nice. Why did you call me?”

I asked curiously.

“It's just… that senior student just now, is she your girlfriend?”

This senior student asked in a low voice, her tone even carrying a cautious probing.

“Huh? Girlfriend? Why would you think that? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you think of her as a bestie? And Big Sis Bai is my sister!”

“So she's your sister. But you have to be careful with sisters too! And besties as well. Be cautious of senior students who claim to be your bestie! In Witch Academy, you should be most wary of your bestie! You have no idea how many people have fallen victim to their besties. Guard against fire, guard against thieves, guard against your bestie! Who knows which night she’ll just have her way with you!”

This senior student lectured me with the tone of an experienced person.

“Huh? Is that so? But I don't think Big Sis Bai would do that. But thank you for the reminder.”

“No, it’s nothing. It’s my honor to be able to help you. Um! Can I have your contact information?”

“Mmm… you can, but don't spread it around, okay?”

After bidding farewell to this senior student, I quickly went to the contestants' lounge.

As for that senior student, although I gave her my contact information, the probability of future contact is low.

Besides, I don't even know her name, so her skills at building connections are not up to par.

However, after I walked into the lounge, I also met many contestants.

After all, unlike me who rested after the first match, many of them had just finished their battles or had just come out of the infirmary to treat the injuries from their battles.

“It's… it's the Explosive Witch. I'm so miserable. Can I just surrender directly this afternoon…”

“Good luck. I hope you don't get targeted by her in the revival round this afternoon.”

“Her injuries healed so quickly? I heard Tan Han is still lying in the infirmary.”

“It feels like such a pity that such a clash of titans happened in the first round.”

“Now I believe that the academy's random matching is truly random.”

As I walked along, I greeted many of them, and some even came up to ask me not to target them in the revival round this afternoon.

However, those who were further away quickly changed the topic when they saw me.

After all, the heat from this morning's events had not died down.

And now, where the contestants were, everyone had their own separate rest area for changing clothes, placing things, and so on.

After all, many contestants even wore some armor on stage, so they naturally needed a place to change.

And in front was a spectator stand with the best view.

I, on the other hand, returned to my rest area to rest alone for a bit, and also to see what was being said on the internet.

This act of searching for myself was something I naturally couldn't let others see, so I stayed in my own lounge.

After I was done searching, I would go and watch the battles to see how others fought.

And I was also very curious, how did I become the Explosive Witch again?

By the way, do I fit the title of Explosive Witch?

I only blew up the arena, it shouldn't be that bad, right?

And I remember there's a club called the Explosive Witch Club or something.

I'm a bit curious if that club will approach me.

Probably not in the short term…

I looked at the various posts and videos on my phone.

It seems that although not much time has passed, many videos and posts have already been spread.

Actually, because of this match, I also had other nicknames, but because the final explosion was too terrifying, the title of Explosive Witch had the highest support…

Actually, it was still acceptable, at least it sounded better than Hand of God.
