Chapter 2: A Not-So-Wonderful Witch Academy

After walking out of this house, I felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.

Although I was a little worried about what to do with my life from now on, what to eat for my next meal, but those were things for the future me to worry about.

This home… I really couldn't stay any longer.

It just so happened that I was now an adult, and leaving this home on this occasion was also a very good start.

“Little Han? Had a fight with your family again?”

At this moment, a sudden voice called out to me.

I turned my head to look at this big sister with an exaggerated figure.

She was a neighbor who lived next to us and had been living here for a long time.

I was naturally very familiar with this big sister.

Her name was Bai Yu, and I usually called her Big Sister Bai.

She was a very kind person.

The first time I had a falling out with my family, I went out in a fit of anger, and it was Big Sister Bai who kindly let me stay over.

After things calmed down, she would even take me back and speak good words for me.

“Not really a fight, I guess we've completely fallen out.”

I sighed.

Although there was some anger in my heart with nowhere to vent, I would never take this anger out on Big Sister Bai no matter what.

“Completely fallen out?”

Big Sister Bai spoke with slight surprise, but she still began to pull me inside as she usually did.

I didn't act coy and followed her in.

Anyway, I hadn't thought about where I was going next.

At worst, after the admission notice arrived, I would go directly to the Witch Academy.

Constantly staying at Big Sister Bai's house, no matter how thick-skinned I was, would be a bit unbearable, after all, I was an adult now.

“Little Han, tell my sister, what exactly happened?”

As the door closed, Big Sister Bai lost her earlier reserved and elegant demeanor, becoming more casual and directly lying down on the living room sofa.

The assets on her chest also swayed with Big Sister Bai's movements, attracting my subconsciously glancing eyes and causing my pupils to quake.

However, I had seen this kind of thing many times over the years, so I quickly concealed it.

To be honest, this was the Big Sister Bai I knew.

Big Sister Bai was like two different people outside and at home.

The moment the door closed, her whole person seemed to become lazy.

This also showed that Big Sister Bai didn't see me as an outsider.

I looked at Big Sister Bai's slightly messy bedroom, but the living room was quite clean, because you could see the living room when the door opened, but not the bedroom.

At least the surface work was done quite well.

“What else could it be? Filling out college applications, Guess which academy my dad and the others discussed for me to apply to?”

“According to uncle and auntie… Xiongnu Academy? If not, it should be Imp Academy, right?”

Bai Yu thought for a moment and named two academies.

“A really accurate guess. Imp Academy. This academy has free admission, provides food and lodging, and even transfers 50,000 to those who sign up. I'm afraid my dad has his eyes on that 50,000, right?”

“Really, I don't think your dad even sees you as a person. Imp Academy, going there is simply sending yourself to your death.”

“Isn't that the truth? To really think that a free lunch can fall from the sky. So I just ran away. Big Sister Bai, for the next few days, I'll have to trouble you to let me stay here.”

I put my hands together in a pleading manner, although I knew that even if I didn't do this, Big Sister Bai wouldn't refuse me, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

“Of course that's no problem, but how long are you staying? Looking at you, are you waiting for an admission notice?”

Bai Yu leaned back on the sofa, crossing her left leg over her right in a new position, looking like she was enjoying a good show.

“Something like that…”

Being reminded of admission and such by Big Sister Bai, I felt a little guilty.

After all, a grown man like me going to an all-girls school might be looked down upon, right?

“Oh? Then is it convenient to tell Big Sister Bai which academy you applied to? I remember you told me your score was something like… 586? It's not easy to get into a good academy with that score.”

“This… Big Sister Bai, can I not say?”

“Speak! Let Big Sister Bai help you check it out!”

Big Sister Bai's aura changed from before, it seemed she was determined to get it out of me.

“Okay… alright… then Big Sister Bai, don't laugh at me.”

I gave Big Sister Bai a heads-up in advance.

Big Sister Bai was a sister dearer to me than my own relatives, just short of a blood relation.

I naturally didn't feel there was anything wrong with telling Big Sister Bai about this.

After all, I chose the academy, and I would have to go there myself eventually.

There was no use in being secretive.

“Mm, I promise I won't laugh. As long as you didn't fall into any traps. With your grades, it's actually about the same no matter which academy you apply to.”

Big Sister Bai lay there, waiting for my response at her leisure.

“Mm.”

I nodded, preparing to confess.

Actually, the main reason my current grades were so average was because I was treated as mentally ill.

Because of this, I missed out on all sorts of early education.

At that time, I didn't think it was a big deal, after all, I was a transmigrator.

It wasn't until I found out that this world had transcendent power that I insisted on going to school.

At that time, my parents had already started raising a 'small account', so they naturally didn't agree to me going to school at that point.

In the end, it was Big Sister Bai who came to persuade them before I was reluctantly allowed to attend school.

This meant that I had crammed so much knowledge in the few years before the college entrance exams, including but not limited to theoretical meditation, basic magical and elemental theories, and so on.

My score was basically supported by these.

As for language… as long as communication was barrier-free, it was fine.

“That… what I applied for is… Witch Academy.”

I said in a small voice.

As expected, I still felt ashamed to say such a thing out loud!

“What? Say that again?”

Hearing what I said, Big Sister Bai shot up from her seat in an instant.

Seeing Big Sister Bai's huge reaction, my heart already started to panic.

This Witch Academy couldn't really be some kind of trap, could it?

“Witch… Witch Academy!”

I decided to throw caution to the wind and admitted it loudly, “I applied for the Witch Academy, and they've already admitted me!”

After listening to what I said, a trace of complexity flashed through Big Sister Bai's eyes, but she concealed it well.

At this moment, Big Sister Bai seemed to have calmed down, and she sat back down on the sofa, “Witch Academy? Do you know about Witch Academy?”

“Not really… Does Big Sister Bai know it well?”

I asked tentatively.

“Your Big Sister Bai here is a student of the Witch Academy, you know. Really, why would you choose this academy?”

Big Sister Bai said to me very frankly, “No, wait. No matter what, Witch Academy is considered a first-rate academy. Even if its reputation is poor, it shouldn't be your turn, right? How did you get admitted?”

“Um… not long ago, someone claiming to be from the Witch Academy Admissions Office called and asked if I wanted to apply… so I agreed…”

I said, feeling a little embarrassed.

“Huh? Has it become this difficult for the Witch Academy to recruit new students this year?”

Even Big Sister Bai found it a bit hard to believe, but the facts were as they were, leaving no room for disbelief.

Afterward, Big Sister Bai even made me open the application system to confirm it completely before she sighed.

“What's wrong? Big Sister Bai, is the Witch Academy a huge trap?” I asked cautiously.

“It's not that bad, but for you… it's probably close enough. Since you've been admitted, the academy probably won't let you go…”

Big Sister Bai stood up, came to my side, and patted my shoulder, “How does that saying go? Oh, welcome to the Witch Academy.”

Hearing Big Sister Bai say the same thing as that teacher, I suddenly felt that something was not right.

“Don't overthink it. When your admission notice arrives, I'll go to the Witch Academy with you. This is the last bit of help I can give you.”

After Big Sister Bai finished speaking, she left me standing there dumbfounded.

I still didn't know what I was about to face.

Could it be that the witch upperclasswomen in the Witch Academy were all too fierce?
