Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 468 -

Chapter 468: From Now On, Little Han is No Longer a Student of This Class

“Um… Big Sis Bai, are we just leaving like this?”

I looked somewhat reluctantly at the classroom, and at the complex gazes of the teachers and the seniors in the waiting area.

Even though I hadn't spoken to them, their gazes seemed to say a lot.

“Of course. Do you want to stay here and watch them fight each other over you? If you have such a wicked hobby for watching that spectacle, be careful not to get beaten up.”

Bai Yu said with a smile.

It was clear she was in a good mood now, completely shedding the imposing aura she had just moments ago.

“Little Han If you were any more outstanding, I would be worried that another witch would abduct you.”

“Well in the eyes of those teachers, is there any difference between my situation now and being abducted by you? But… Big Sis Bai, the interview isn’t officially over. Is it really okay for you to leave like this?”

“What's wrong with it? Why waste time here? No one will fuss over such a small matter.”

The interview process was meant to solve a need for the witches.

She was a Body Cultivation teacher, and only Little Han met her requirements among this batch of students.

Was there any problem with her only valuing this one student?

Absolutely none.

“Hey Sister, is your interview over?”

Just as Big Sis Bai and I were walking down the stairs, a leisurely witch was sitting by the doorway.

She saw Bai Yu, then looked at me, and asked.

“I found a very good student, and I finalized the choice on the spot,” Bai Yu said, unable to hide her smile.

“Then congratulations.”

The witch also waved her hand, sending us off.

Every instructional building in the Witch Academy usually had a witch serving as a part-time building manager.

Building managers typically needed to be Transcendent Witches and were usually the type who had nothing urgent to do—the kind who could sit there all day.

The building manager's role was wide-ranging.

She was responsible for many things within the instructional building, such as interior design, and being the first responder to emergencies like explosions or fires in student classrooms or laboratories.

The barrier isolating this building from the outside was also set up by this manager, to prevent idle students from wandering in and stumbling into the interview venue.

Once we stepped out of the area covered by the isolation spell, we saw the crowd of seniors gathered outside.

Seeing a teacher emerge, the seniors who were watching and waiting immediately greeted her enthusiastically.

In their view, there was no harm in building a good relationship with a teacher.

However, when they saw me following closely behind, they were all instantly taken aback.

Being personally escorted away by a teacher during the interview… surely that meant the position was secured?

After a brief moment of shock and surprise, they quickly reacted and recognized me.

“It's Yang Yuehan! She really secured it this time…”

“Is she still called Yang Yuehan? We should start calling her Teaching Assistant Yang now.”

Whispers immediately spread through the crowd.

“How about just Teaching Assistant Little Han? That sounds more natural.”

“She really took a giant leap… I’m so envious. Why didn’t I run into a senior like that to carry me forward?”

Although these whispers were very soft, Big Sis Bai heard them all.

However, she didn't care.

Neither the admiring comments nor the envious words could change the reality that they were merely complaining.

Those who are truly capable focus directly on advancing to a Transcendent Witch.

Teaching Assistant… under normal procedures, is for students who are confident in advancing to a Transcendent Witch and are willing to return to teach at the Main World Witch Academy.

Even if they go to teach at a Witch Academy in another world, this Teaching Assistant experience is the best qualification.

Leaving the immediate vicinity, I immediately brought up a topic.

“Big Sis Bai, the matter about Spirit Vision you mentioned back there… is it really that serious?”

I asked, shaking Big Sis Bai’s forearm.

“Of course, I was just scaring them. Those new witches were being so pushy. They're still too naive to try and steal you from me.”

“Eh? Doesn’t that worry you about them retaliating later?”

“Who told Little Han to be such a genius? If they come to steal you, I’ll simply have to use my blade to chase them away.”

“Ah? Is that appropriate?”

My eyes widened as I looked at Big Sis Bai.

Why was Big Sis Bai so direct in handling things?

“I'm joking. At most, they’ll challenge me to a spar to vent their frustration. Besides… Little Han, what I said wasn't completely baseless, do you understand? You are very likely to encounter this situation later.”

“Is that true?”

“Of course, it’s true, but it’s not as serious as I made it sound. A person's five senses are a complete system. An imbalance in one does cause considerable trouble, but it will be fine once you adapt to it.”

“So, it’s not a major issue then?”

“Mhm, we should go back.”

Bai Yu nodded, confirming that what I said was roughly correct and it wasn't a very big problem.

“Where to?”

“To complete the final Teaching Assistant Assessment, of course. Once a teacher is chosen, the teacher typically sets their own test. Finally, I will write a report and an application, and only then will your Teaching Assistant status be recognized by the academy.”

“Is it that complicated?”

I quickly followed Big Sis Bai and asked.

“It’s not bad. It’s just going through the procedure. However, Little Han, you will need to start your Physical Arts cultivation with me these next few days. The position of Teaching Assistant comes with power, but it also means obligation. If you don't have a certain level of Body Cultivation and Physical Arts experience, you won't be able to assist me in teaching the courses.”

“Good, good Of course, I can cultivate with you, Big Sis Bai!”

Since many of my current tasks have reached a temporary conclusion, spending some time cultivating Physical Arts with Big Sis Bai is certainly fine.

Since I'm already on the Transcendent path, I also want to experience the joy of dual-cultivation in both spells and physique.

After all, who would refuse to be able to use "long-range spell-fire suppression, and close-range fist-power suppression"?

Let the squishy spellcasters be squishy if they want to.

However, before that, Big Sis Bai and I both decided to celebrate the success of today’s interview prematurely.

The location for the celebration was at Senior Yisha Yuan's place.

Big Sis Bai had taken me there before.

This senior's place was an inner shop that required private invitations.

Since she chose not to advance to a Transcendent Witch and decided to stay in the Witch Academy, my impression of her remained stuck at the time of the exchange competition when she said she was my fan.

Big Sis Bai's primary purpose for going there was to meet this friend.

I naturally had no objection, as there wouldn't be any outsiders there, and the dipping sauce she prepared was quite unique.

…

A few days later.

The academy's announcement regarding the joint practical combat assessment for the final exam, involving all low-grade students and students from external academies, immediately stirred up heated discussion among the students.

The Academy Network was suddenly filled with news about this, and the previous rumors and slanders were all drowned out by the anticipation of the upcoming test.

It was as if the Academy Network had no memory, or perhaps the so-called public opinion was merely a castle in the air.

Lacking the necessary support base, it fundamentally could not occupy a place on the Academy Network.

After confirming that all students would participate, all the students were immediately excited.

Of course, many students with little actual strength were also very worried about their situation.

But the ones who were truly upset were naturally the older seniors.

They weren't included in this joint inter-academy exam either!

They were the ones who had truly accessed Transcendent power, the group that was free to master immense strength.

They had been looking for a way to justifiably "bully" students from other academies for a long time, but the academy had never organized many inter-senior exchange competitions or events, which was very frustrating for them.

Low-grade students refer generally to students in the first to third years—students who are still guided by a Counselor and do not have a dedicated Teacher.

Limited by the previous reform, the allocation of resources like Spellbooks, Magic Power Sources, Elixirs, Alchemical Items, etc., to low-grade students in the Witch Academy was slightly increased, with more ways to acquire them.

So, after one semester, even though the reform only started in the last two months, if a student hadn't formed a certain level of combat power, it meant they were being somewhat irresponsible toward themselves.

Following the announcement of this matter, many low-grade Counselors also organized impromptu class meetings during this period to explain the precautions for the joint exam to the students.

Therefore, there was a lot of information and many rumors circulating about the joint inter-academy exam these past few days, making the classes that hadn't yet held a meeting anxious to know the details.

At this moment.

Students arrived one after another at an instructional building.

Some came in small groups of two or three.

After arriving here, they quickly found a good spot to sit down.

This was the classroom where Class 14's Counselor, Teacher Ji Niang, was holding the impromptu class meeting.

“Our Counselor is finally holding a class meeting. If she didn't call one soon, I would have died of anxiety.”

“I know! Other classes held a meeting yesterday to go over the precautions.”

“By the way, are you all so eager to go? I heard that because this is a joint exam with other academies, it's a practical combat assessment! Even a minor scrape is enough to make you cry for a long time.”

“Is it really a practical combat assessment? By the way, can't they use our Witch Academy's Dream State? At least there would be no danger to life. Even if it hurts, it's fake. You only suffer from phantom pain for a few minutes afterward.”

“Do you think the Witch Academy’s Dream State device pods are infinite? This involves many academies! We have to enter in batches just for one Monthly Exam. It’s impossible.”

“You’re right. I was being foolish.”

“Sigh Why is our Counselor so busy every day? We rarely see her. It’s almost the scheduled time, and most people are here.”

“Are we all here? We’re still missing one person, aren't we? Do you think our former Class President will come to such an important pre-assessment class meeting? We haven't seen her in a long time, have we?”

“You’re right, I haven't seen her in a long time. Sigh Having a Course Exemption is so willful.”

“But she got a full score in theory. We can't compare to people like that!”

“I equally dislike all geniuses. Why can't I become the person I dislike?”

“I think she will come. This time, they emphasized all low-grade students! She dared to skip the Monthly Exam, but does she dare to skip the Final Exam? This is recorded in the student archives. Skipping it counts as failing, and there won't even be a chance for a make-up exam.”

“Ah? Is it that serious? No chance for a make-up exam?”

“Of course. I made sure to ask about this.”

“Are you sure that’s not because your Elemental Theory course always just barely passed the minimum grade?”

“Don't call me out, okay? It's still my skill that I pass exactly on the line every time! That's called being prepared for all eventualities, understand?”

Following the chatter of these young women, Lucianne, sitting at the back, fell silent.

She was too lazy to tell these girls who only gossiped that the former Class President they spoke of, Yang Yuehan… would likely never have a chance to fail a course again, and wouldn't care about missing the final exam and not having a make-up chance.

She clearly remembered what Senior Daphne had told her, and that chance encounter had deeply shocked her!

While she was still proud of her small progress, she looked up and saw a mountain she could never reach.

The other person came and went so casually, leaving her with a deep psychological shadow.

She felt that she didn't want to compare herself to anyone else for at least the next few years.

She only wanted to slowly accumulate strength.

With the help of Senior Daphne and the background of the Wan Shi Wu Club, she could at least ensure she stayed ahead of her peers.

Everyone was similarly blocked by the high mountain named Yang Yuehan.

But after being "counseled" by Daphne, she had put this complex feeling aside.

Senior Daphne was right: from now on, the other party and she belonged to two different worlds, so she didn't need to try to belittle or compete with her.

She shouldn't assume that because they were once classmates, they were on the same level; that was the greatest self-deception.

Putting aside the facts, among her peers, excluding Yang Yuehan, she was also a powerful person in the front ranks!

Furthermore… she had never thought that the Witch Academy, which was not one of the Three Great Top-tier Academies, would be so terrifying, with such deep foundations, and where power could be acquired so easily… If she met her former classmates, the Prospective Wizards, she swore she would beat them up, and not hold back!

The few days she spent in that Wizard Academy brought her so many hard-to-accept realities.

Compared to that, she even had a faint feeling that becoming a witch and joining the Witch Academy was not an unacceptable thing…

Thinking of this, Lucianne quickly shook her head, throwing out this terrible thought.

How could she simply admit the good side of the Witch Academy!

She was at least a male in the Wizard Academy before!

She had the ability to pass on her lineage with other girls.

Now, she was the one who was the recipient of someone else's desire...

The mere thought of this was frightening.

But throwing all these thoughts away, the image of Senior Daphne appeared in her mind again…

That graceful body… the alluring curves and… Cough…

Lucianne silently slapped herself.

Even though she was sitting alone, her face inexplicably flushed.

It wasn't until a figure quickly walked into the classroom that she collected those meaningless thoughts, sat up straight, and focused her attention on the person.

And this figure was naturally Teacher Ji Niang, who had squeezed in time to come.

Her arrival immediately brought silence to the slightly noisy classroom.

Looking at the class that was almost fully present, she focused on the few she paid special attention to, such as Lucianne and Ninglan Qiuyue.

No other class in the newcomer grade of the Witch Academy had such a roster: two Children of Destiny.

Then, Ji Niang took a deep breath and let out a sigh.

“Everyone is here. I am very happy. I believe everyone knows what this impromptu class meeting is about.”

“However, before discussing the main agenda, I need to announce something to everyone first.”

As Teacher Ji Niang finished speaking, many people were curious about what else needed to be said at the very beginning of the class meeting.

“That is, Classmate Yang Yuehan has officially left our Class 14. This means that from now on, Yang Yuehan is no longer a student of Class 14, and her student registration information with the Witch Academy has been canceled, placing her in a non-registered status.”

Teacher Ji Niang paused at this point, seemingly watching the expressions of the class, before speaking again.

“Also… congratulations to Classmate Yang Yuehan for passing the academy’s Teaching Assistant Assessment process and becoming a Teaching Assistant.”

With this drawn-out announcement from Teacher Ji Niang, she delivered two bombshells that completely stunned the entire class.

After a few seconds of silence, the entire classroom was immediately filled with the sound of a hundred people expressing their shock.
