Chapter 168: Multi-Academy Joint Exchange Gathering at Witch Academy

After coming out of Teacher Ji Niang's office, I didn't rush back, but turned around and entered the 8401 Laboratory directly.

I planned to use a few more Earth Vein Memories here to see what I would get.

If I encountered danger, at least Teacher Ji Niang would be in time to save me.

But the impact of the first memory seemed to have not yet subsided.

In this state, I was clearly not suitable to continue opening memory blind boxes.

So I followed the memory and began to practice this body strengthening technique.

After all, the effect of this technique seemed to be very good, but it didn't seem to have an immediate effect and required long-term persistence.

And I did need such a technique to exercise my body.

After all, I would spend the whole day in the laboratory studying spellbooks at a moment's notice.

Now that I was starting to learn runology, one could imagine that my daily exercise amount was definitely not up to standard.

What if I get fat?

And the food these past few days has been too good, I really need to exercise some restraint.

Maintaining a perfect figure, increasing body flexibility, and improving physical fitness and balance, these should be benefits that are hard for any girl to refuse, right?

I am no exception now.

Cultivating myself to a point where even I can't find any flaws would also bring a great sense of accomplishment.

I just don't know which lucky person I will benefit in the future.

If nothing unexpected happens, of course, it will be myself!

Sigh just thinking about it, I'm starting to become narcissistic.

Afterward, I took out two memory blind boxes.

Today, I planned to use just three and see my luck.

The rest I would use when I get back, after bathing and changing clothes, with a pure heart.

Should I give some to those guys in my dorm?

After all, this kind of memory is not a mandatory requirement for me, it's something I can take or leave.

“I'll check this one first.”

I randomly picked one between the two and held it in my hand.

Then, I followed Teacher Ji Niang's method and guided the memory to flood into my mind.

Suddenly, that feeling from before appeared again.

The scene in my mind appeared.

It was two figures engaged in close combat with each other, but this kind of battle seemed a bit different from my understanding.

Both sides were seniors holding magic wands, and I soon understood what this was.

This was the Magic Wand Combat Technique, a response technique based on holding a magic wand to deal with various close-quarters combat situations.

And it also included some quick-casting techniques, combining close combat with spells.

Seems somewhat useful?

But not very useful.

It could only make me a bit more composed when dealing with others in close combat.

Besides, I wouldn't use a fragile weapon like a magic wand for combat.

This kind of combat technique requires wands that are custom-made and reinforced.

I have no intention of changing my magic wand for now.

Afterward, I closed my eyes, emptied my mind, and entered a state of meditation.

Although meditation is also an act that consumes mental power, after entering the world of meditation, I could quickly get used to this discomfort.

And I discovered that I could also practice in the world of meditation.

Because this is a dream.

But it seems it can't be compared to that so-called Dream State device.

That is the dream state of a Primal Witch, truly terrifying.

Here, I can only rely on my mental power to construct some scenes I am familiar with.

After confirming that I had recovered, I couldn't wait to start opening the blind box for the third time.

But obviously, the third memory was a bit of a chicken rib.

I couldn't even properly summarize what it taught me.

It was probably various regulations of the service industry.

I feel that this Earth Vein memory was obtained from somewhere near a commercial district.

After a simple recovery, I stopped paying attention to this memory.

When I didn't actively think about this memory, I found that the pressure the memory brought me also lessened a lot, and it even accelerated its forgetting.

It could be considered a gain and a loss.

At least I know that if I get a useless memory, I can use this method to relieve my stress.

I checked the time.

It was still afternoon, so I still had a lot of time for studying.

But now my options were divided.

Should I continue the boring study of runes from before, or should I study spellbooks for the newcomer competition?

My instinct leaned towards studying spellbooks because it was much more interesting than studying runes.

And I have more and more spellbooks now, but the only spells I am good at are still Fireball and Energy Shield.

How can this be!

I have three hundred-point consumption spellbooks, and even one thousand-point consumption spellbook.

And then when people ask me what my signature spell is, and I say I'm good at Fireball, it just seems so out of character, right?

But my instinct told me to study runes, because that is more important!

But how much can I learn in less than half a day?

Countless thoughts were arguing endlessly in my mind.

In the end, I looked at the book I had already taken out in my hand.

I still compromised.

Let's leave the choice to Teacher Ji Niang!

I was prepared to ask Teacher Ji Niang if there were any spells to improve memory, or to improve learning efficiency.

I'll see if I can be thick-skinned enough to get this kind of spellbook.

If I get it, I'll continue studying runes.

If not, I'll study spellbooks!

So I quickly returned to Teacher Ji Niang's office.

“Hmm? Why are you back again?”

Ji Niang asked curiously, seeing me appear in her office once more.

“Um… Teacher Ji Niang…”

At this moment, I was a bit awkwardly thinking about how to phrase it better.

After all, I was still not used to asking for things with a thick skin.

“If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hem and haw in front of me.”

Seeing my appearance, Ji Niang said directly.

“Um, Teacher Ji Niang, do you have any spellbooks here?”

“Didn't you just get so many spellbooks? Why do you want more? Don't you understand the principle of biting off more than you can chew?”

Hearing my question, Ji Niang directly lectured me.

“That's not it, are there any spellbooks that enhance memory, or improve learning efficiency?”

I quickly added.

This kind of spellbook shouldn't be lumped together with those spellbooks used for combat, right?

“Oh? You little rascal actually thought of this? There are indeed such spells among spellbooks, but unfortunately I don't have any here. After all, this is a very rare category of spellbook. Even a small spellbook of this type would be snatched up. You can understand the value of this kind of spell, right?”

After hearing my supplementary request, Ji Niang was also very surprised.

Generally speaking, if you can't think of something, you just can't.

Ji Niang didn't expect me to think of this issue so soon after the start of school.

She really didn't know if this was a matter of personal learning mindset or a desire to be lazy.

“Alright…”

Hearing Teacher Ji Niang say this, I gave up hope.

Since she had clearly said she didn't have any, I naturally wouldn't continue to pester her.

I should have thought of it.

Many people must have thought of this method, how could it be my turn?

“But don't be in a hurry yet.”

Seeing my disappointed look, Ji Niang quickly spoke up to stop me from turning to leave.

“Huh? Is there some way to get it?”

“Hehe, who knows? But you can look forward to the rewards for this newcomer competition. The rewards for the top ten will only be announced at the very end. Who knows, right?”

“Is Teacher Ji Niang saying that it’s among the rewards for the top ten!”

I immediately stopped in my tracks, turned around, and excitedly confirmed again.

“Did I say that? No, I didn't. No one knows the rewards for the top ten newcomers until they are announced. I don't have anything.”

Ji Niang turned her head away, as if she had just mentioned it casually.

“Is that so?”

Looking at Teacher Ji Niang's appearance, it was probably a sure thing.

It seems that even heaven wants me to study spellbooks.

But I can't have too high hopes for this, because Teacher Ji Niang didn't give a definite answer, but just having this thought is enough.

I just don't know which rank among the top ten will have this kind of spellbook.

Once it's confirmed, it also means that I have lost the ability to freely compete for a ranking.

Which means I might not have a conflict with Tan Han.

Thinking about it carefully, could this also be part of the script!

It's really too scary, daring to tempt me with benefits!

I'm most susceptible to this!

And at this moment, a message box suddenly popped up in front of Teacher Ji Niang, and her expression turned serious.

“Little Han, you go back first. The teacher has something to attend to. If you want to stay in the laboratory, you can go. Remember to close the door when you leave.”

Teacher Ji Niang stood up at this moment and walked past me with that prompt box.

She was so fast that I couldn't react.

“Huh? Teacher Ji Niang, where are you going?”

I asked subconsciously.

“Teacher's business, children should ask less. When I can tell you, I will tell you.”

Ji Niang's tone carried a hint of a joke, brushing me off as she directly kicked me out of the office.

I looked at the closed office door, still a bit slow to react.

Is something big going to happen at the academy?

Summoning the teachers over so urgently?

And at this time, many teachers from the offices here also came out.

Some just jumped out of the corridor window, and in the next moment, all I could see was their exhaust fumes.

This speed is that overspeeding?

But they are Transcendent Witches, and teachers.

The Disciplinary Squad probably wouldn't dare to stop them.

I'm so envious…

I silently returned to my 8401 laboratory.

Hehe, it's good that no one is here.

I'm preparing to try modding a high-consumption spellbook.

After all, I have a lot of Magic Power Sources, enough for me to use a hundred-point consumption spellbook as a regular means.

At this time.

Inside the Witch Academy Grand Conference Room.

This conference room was the largest in the academy.

It was divided into two parts.

One part was the Academy Head's conference table formed by a central round table, and surrounding it were the academy teachers.

However, not every teacher was required to attend this emergency meeting.

The main attendees were the newcomer teacher-counselors of the 1145th batch.

If they couldn't come, they could also participate in the meeting via remote Earth Vein Projection.

For example, right now, only one Academy Head was sitting at the central Academy Head's position.

Two other Academy Heads were participating as semi-transparent Earth Vein Projections, and some seats were directly empty.

After all, the Academy Heads were very busy.

Being able to participate in the meeting via Earth Vein Projection was already giving a lot of face.

Some even only had a display light screen and a speaker, without even an image.

It seemed that one was really out of time, but still wanted to participate in the meeting.

“Thank you all for coming so quickly. I won't waste any more words. For those who haven't arrived, please inform each other. The following content will not be recorded in any form, including on paper. After the meeting, the Earth Vein information will also be shredded.”

As the only present Academy Head started the meeting, the witches all quieted down.

However, hearing that the information would not be recorded in any form, and even the Earth Vein information would be shredded, there wasn't much to discuss about this meeting.

The last time there was such a treatment was for the matter of the World Script.

This time was probably no exception.

“As of now, our Witch Academy has received exchange applications from dozens of transcendent academies. The earliest, Aphrodite Academy, will arrive at our academy tomorrow. After discussion, we have fully accepted this multi-academy Newcomer Exchange Competition, and it may use our Primal Dream State.”

After the Academy Head finished speaking, the witches did not show too much surprise, at most they were just a little surprised by the number of academies participating in this exchange.

“Academy Head, the newcomers have just started school not long ago. Is it necessary to hold such a grand exchange? It's not necessary, right?”

“That's right, there's not much to see in our newcomer exchange competition here.”

“The newcomers haven't had time to accumulate experience, nor do they have access to resources. Is there a need to make such a big fuss?”

“Yeah, so many academies coming to our Witch Academy is another expense.”

“Alright, quiet, listen to me.”

As the Academy Head spoke, those witches who still wanted to express their opinions immediately closed their mouths and listened attentively.

“The newcomers indeed don't have much to fight over, but it's not just the newcomers who are fighting anymore. What if the ones who truly clash are the Children of Destiny?”

“Not long ago, we obtained new intelligence. A second Seed of Destiny has appeared, and this matter has been confirmed by me.”

After the Academy Head finished speaking, the many witches immediately exploded into an uproar.

“A second Seed of Destiny? What about Tan Han then?”

“Impossible, right?”

“What's going on? Playing a true or false Child of Destiny with us?”

“I think the world consciousness of this Main World is playing with us.”

“Impossible, Tan Han’s Seed of Destiny is genuine, and her destiny is also genuine. It even extended to the ability of the Spirit Eye.”

“Tan Han was confirmed as the Child of Destiny through this year's college entrance examination ritual. The talent that awakened was also the Seed of Destiny. The destiny gathered by a ritual that covers the entire world, she can't be a fake.”

“I am not denying who is fake.”

The Academy Head slammed the table, instantly suppressing all the witches.

“You are right, there is nothing wrong with Tan Han being the Child of Destiny, and the college entrance examination ritual, a layout that covers the entire world, will not make a mistake. Don't bring your past inertial thinking here.”

“The second Seed of Destiny has already appeared. Although it may not be unrelated to those Abyssal Demon guys, the actual situation is that the script has already departed from our understanding.”

“This time, the script is no longer a single linear story. If a second Seed of Destiny has appeared, there will be a third, and even more!”

As this statement completely defined the matter, all the witches had no choice but to accept this new reality.

“There must be the shadow of the Abyssal Demons behind this good thing, that Imp Academy. But for so many transcendent academies to come to us for an exchange, this indicates the worst thing: other academies may have followed suit, and there may already be dozens of Seeds of Destiny. They lack the irrigation of destiny, so they want to use their Seeds of Destiny to get a piece of the pie from Tan Han.”

“It is no longer a competition for the Child of Destiny. No wonder Tan Han was so easily lured over. It turns out they discovered this matter before us. This has now become a battle royale for the Seeds of Destiny to compete for destiny to incubate!”

These were the words of another Academy Head, and the witches naturally had no doubts about it.

But the last trace of hope was also completely gone.

“Are they crazy? Interfering with the script like this, do they want to drag all of our races into this game of the script! Aren't they afraid of it collapsing?”

“The fact that Tan Han has already embarked on the path of a witch cannot be changed. Think about it from another perspective. With the Abyssal Demons being the first, which of those races would see an opportunity and not take it?”

“That's right, as long as the final winner is not the Abyssal Demons. They will use the excuse of dispersing destiny to prevent the Abyssal Demons from achieving their goal in a disguised way.”

“As long as the Abyssal Demon race does not become the fifth transcendent race of the Main World, this is our consensus.”

“Tsk an overt scheme? This move by the Abyssal Demons is truly disgusting.”

“Haven't the Abyssal Demons always been disgusting? Of course, I really like Abyssal Demon witches, they are very much my type.”

“Don't talk about your kinks in such a serious meeting! You disgusting person, take a punch.”
