Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 480 - 189 The First Day at Crystal Lattice Academy
In the virtual world of the Aijieka Sea, a fierce battle between two genius students was underway, but the students from both sides felt differently about the match.
On one side, Crystal Lattice Academy students were constantly shouting out, commenting on the abilities and techniques used by both sides; on the other side, Edith Academy students had a more subdued reaction, to put it simply, they didn’t quite understand what they were watching.
"It feels very impressive, but Ruby doesn’t understand at all," the idol girl with the purple-red highlights noted, acknowledging this was not her area of expertise.
"I can somewhat understand it, but there are still many parts that are confusing," Tilan shook her head, she had recently learned about the Aijieka network from Geyin and had some understanding.
The biggest difference between combat in the Aijieka network and the real world was the use of formulas and high-speed computing ability, which determined the strength of one’s power.
This wasn’t the real world, but a network space specially created within the Aijieka Sea by a particular system. It exists between illusion and reality. The strength of your soul consciousness determines whether you can exist stably in this world, and the application of various "weapons" and "armor" depends on how you manipulate your limited magic power to construct your branding formulas for combat.
Compared to reality, skill and calculation are more valued here, because the magic power from reality cannot be directly brought into the Aijieka Sea.
If someone is described as an online "keyboard warrior" or a "famous hacker," in reality, they are probably also a transcendent who is adept at calculations and manipulating complex transcendent formulas.
This is a great place to hone your skills.
While everyone around her was focused on Geyin and the deep blue-haired girl’s fight, Tilan was also adjusting to the environment, continually testing the formulas she had learned in the past.
In her palm, a Rubik’s cube constructed of blue crystals was constantly rotating, its internal crystal shapes also continuously changing—from twisting into a sphere to transforming into a three-dimensional diamond shape, then separating into individual crystals before fusing together again to return to its original cube shape.
No wonder that almost all students from Crystal Lattice Academy have the Spirit Particle Sequence. After experimenting for a while, Tilan compared the magic power manipulation skills of the students present with those from Edith Academy and found them to be quicker and more sensitive.
Compared to other sequences, the Spirit Particle Sequence specialized in computational ability and multitasking. A person was like a multi-threaded computer, able to control multiple mechanical units, or cast support transcendent art formulas, etc. They had computational power close to high-rank AI but were more flexible and intelligent than AI. In today’s Interstellar Era, they thrived, active in all corners of society, and probably had the easiest time finding employment among all the transcendent sequences.
Various factories needed such talent; even on their own, they could set up a micro studio to produce small quantities of handmade products with a personal style.
However, this didn’t mean other transcendent sequences had no competitive edge. At least in the fields of medical care and mental healing, the Withering Sequence still had its advantages. Moreover, compared to other sequences, because of its focus on the soul consciousness realm, the Withering Sequence had an even more tenacious and powerful consciousness body in the Aijieka Space, just not as adept at computational ability.
While Tilan was analyzing and thinking, the competition below came to an end. It was Geyin who narrowly defeated his opponent. The deep blue-haired girl left with a sullen face, turning into a stream of data, vanishing into the space, most likely having logged off.
"Kailanli is gone."
"She probably felt she lost face, haha."
"Hey, I wasn’t paying attention just now, did ’Big Blue Mouth’ leave?"
"She did leave, but if she hears that nickname, you’re not going to have an easy time."
"I’ve always said, Kailanli is impressive, but she’s too narcissistic, like a prideful parakeet perched on a branch, humming dismissively at anyone who passes, as if she’s afraid they won’t notice her,"
"It wasn’t so obvious before, but ever since she advanced to the fourth grade, there haven’t been any upperclassmen to hold her back, and now she’s getting more and more out of hand.
"Alright, in the recent unified exam, she ranked sixth in her grade, clearly feeling pretty good about herself. Why don’t you beat her next time to teach her a lesson?"
"Uh, let’s not, I’m still studying the ’Xuanguí River Book Formula’. This branding system developed by Eastern scholars is quite unique and interesting, and I might advance in that direction to build my own Sequence 5 core,"
"Didn’t you say before that you wanted to apply to the renowned ’Dual Swords’ school in the Emerald Moon Star Domain? Are you planning to change direction again?"
"Ahaha, well, a person’s ambitions are always changing, just like liking girls, you know. It’s not that I like a specific type, I just love anyone who’s pretty."
"Tsk tsk, you really have no shame, do you? We agreed to fall for a virtuous big sister together and find true love at a prestigious university,"
"No more talk, I’ll head back to my private room to study carefully. See you tomorrow."
The chatter of students discussing in the distance reached Tilan’s ears. Most students were relaxed and casual, not bothering to create separate chat channels.
Geyin, who had returned from a competition, received a warm welcome from the students at Edith Academy. They curiously asked the quiet girl various questions, and the surrounded Geyin calmly answered some and simply ignored the rest.
"Alright, stop crowding Geyin," Ruby intervened, shooing away the other students before taking Geyin by the hand and bringing her over to Tilan.

Because this black-haired girl was not only the current student council president but also a singer officially recognized by the federation. To the students at Edith Academy, she was on a completely different level from ordinary people. So when Ruby brought Geyin over, the others behaved more docilely and dared not press forward with more questions.
"Congratulations, I never thought Edith Academy had such an excellent student."
Unlike other students who discussed noisily and some who were unconvinced, Ed congratulated Geyin openly and generously, displaying an uncommon magnanimity as the top student of Crystal Lattice Academy.
"Thank you for the compliment." Since Geyin was hiding behind her, Tilan had to thank him on her behalf.
Afterward, they continued to explore and visit various functions within the Aijieka network space, until after 9 p.m., when they finally logged out.
"It’s getting late, and everyone must be hungry by now. How about we all have dinner together?" Ed once again invited Tilan and the group to a banquet prepared by Crystal Lattice Academy.

At night, they dined in a space that resembled the beautiful expanse of stars and the Milky Way, the view completely simulating outer space, as if sitting just outside a planet looking down upon the world, vast and beautiful.
And so, the first day of their exchange at Crystal Lattice Academy came to an end.
