Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 434 -

Chapter 434: Monthly Exam

In the Witch Academy, if you were to ask me what impressed me the most, I would have to mention this Earth Vein system.

The various functions and applications within it are simply too comprehensive.

I really... kind of want to use this as a framework with the Tree of Knowledge to build an exclusive Earth Vein system for myself.

As long as I solve the problem of the Earth Vein, this doesn't seem to be a difficult matter.

Of course, this is not a must.

The main reason is that I feel that the Earth Vein system is an external object, and I'm afraid it will break.

As my progress steadily advanced, the images that appeared on the Earth Vein system naturally attracted the attention of Hong Chenyi and the others.

Seeing them looking over with such curiosity, I also raised my head.

"What, are you curious about what I'm doing?"

"I am indeed curious. Big Sis Xiao Han, do you do this kind of thing every day? Although I don't understand it, it looks very impressive."

"Actually, it's just using the Earth Vein system to replace practical operations and simulate possibilities. After all, this is the library. It would be bad if I directly conducted research and it exploded here."

"What? Big Sis Xiao Han, the things you research can even explode?"

"For research related to the transcendent, anything is possible. Even an explosion might be a very good result, you know? The byproducts of a failed experiment are often similar to transcendent toxins, transcendent curses, radiation, and so on, and even being entangled with unknown spell effects. It's very terrifying just to think about it. Do you want to try?"

I looked at Hong Chenyi with a smile.

"Me? I'd rather not... haha."

Hong Chenyi let out a few awkward laughs, then waved her hand to show that she was not up to it.

"But... Big Sis Xiao Han, can you tell us what you research every day? Tell us so we can take a look?"

"I'm researching alchemy-related research. Does anyone want to learn alchemy? Maybe I can introduce a senior who is learning alchemy to you. Then it will depend on whether you can seize the opportunity."

When I said this, my gaze subconsciously looked at Guan Qiuling.

But when she saw my gaze, the book in her hand also subconsciously blocked her eyes.

"An opportunity to get in touch with other senior students? Can you give me one?"

"Hmm? Hong Chenyi, you also want to try alchemy?"

I looked at Hong Chenyi who had spoken with some confusion and asked.

"Oh dear, knowing one more senior is one more path. Senior students are not so easy to get in touch with."

Hong Chenyi smiled and rubbed her hands, looking expectant.

"That's true."

I nodded.

It seemed that Hong Chenyi had thought it through.

I envy people who just go for it when they have an idea.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't take the initiative to get in touch with a certain senior.

However, I haven't been in touch with Betty for a long time either.

I hope she doesn't mind too much.

"Guan Qiuling, what about you? I remember you also said you were a little interested in alchemy some time ago. It just so happens that this is the library. How about I pick some introductory books on alchemy for you to read after the monthly exam?"

"Thank you, Big Sis Xiao Han..."

Guan Qiuling's words were a form of agreement.

...

A day passed quickly.

The next day was the day of the monthly exam.

The day of the monthly exam could be said to be a relatively hot topic in the academy, especially the newly added practical assessment, which was even more novel.

After all, this was something that the former seniors had never experienced.

And this was a battle against a false dream opponent who was similar to a student of the same year.

A battle was the most intuitive way to feel the gap in combat power between oneself and the opponent.

This could also motivate students to strive forward, and it could also allow ordinary students to learn from outstanding students and take the initiative to learn how to become stronger.

Only by yearning to become stronger will more people study how to become stronger.

After all, combat power is not just a superposition of Magic Power Sources and spellbooks, at least for reserve witches who have not completely mastered Magic Power Sources and spellbooks.

After a day of theoretical exams, some people were frowning, while some were full of excitement and wanted more.

But more people were relieved.

After all, for the monthly exam scores, the theory still accounted for the majority of the score.

What's more, compared with mastering the combat power comparable to those geniuses in just a few months, it was more cost-effective to supplement the theoretical knowledge.

On the second day, all students began to take the practical combat test according to the monthly exam batches.

When the first batch of students entered the dream pod, they were confident that they had figured out the rules of the last monthly exam and felt that they would definitely get a high score this time.

But just as they were happy, they suddenly found that the enemy they were facing was no longer anyone they knew or were familiar with.

The figure that appeared in front of them was a girl with white hair and blood-red eyes.

She just stood there calmly, her eyes only showing a hint of indifference.

Of course, in the eyes of many students, this indifference was the rigidity of the virtual opponent generated by the dream pod.

No one was surprised by this.

Before the practical combat assessment, everyone could choose a certain number of spellbooks and Magic Power Sources from the dream spellbook library as their combat means.

So, the spellbooks and Magic Power Sources they possessed at the beginning were their own advantages.

Of course, there were also some special options.

For example, those who had a little research in alchemy could be provided with ready-made combat alchemical potions and so on.

The means of combat are not only the two options of Magic Power Sources and spellbooks.

In short, special candidates are treated specially.

The academy is not afraid of students being special, and even encourages it.

After choosing their own combat means, the next step was to review the questions, focusing on the scoring rules and so on.

And the first batch of students were naturally very serious about reviewing the questions, because they had no precedent to follow and could only rely on themselves.

"The target of this practical combat assessment is only one, divided into five stages, each stage is worth 20 points, with a total of 100 points."

"Each five minutes is a stage, with a total of five stages. For each stage, you get 10 basic points for surviving, and the other 10 points are for your practical combat performance in that stage; if you defeat the target of that stage within the time limit, you will get the full score of 20 points for that stage. The fifth stage is a challenge with no time limit, and the scoring mechanism is the same as the first four stages."

"The challenge can be terminated at any time. You can apply for a repeat challenge, and each person is limited to one application. The final challenge score will be the final score."

Seeing these rules that were completely different from the first monthly exam, the first batch of students immediately let out a wail.

Many people who had taken shortcuts had spent the past month specifically studying the challenge target to find loopholes and get good scores.

Now they had all been replaced, and none of them were familiar.

They were immediately panicked.

But they had to bite the bullet and go on.

Before long, as the first batch of students who had completed the practical combat assessment came out with frowning faces, they immediately attracted the attention of many people, because this practical combat assessment ended a bit quickly.

The practical combat assessment is not a theoretical assessment where you can cheat.

The practical combat assessment is about hard power, so the teachers don't mind the questions being leaked.

Even if the information of the test person is leaked, it's nothing.

To be able to integrate a lot of information in a short period of time and formulate a feasible plan is also a talent.

So the first batch of candidates who came out were like hotcakes, surrounded by many people and asked all sorts of questions.

Those with ability could even get a lot of benefits from this.

Or, some smart people, when they confirmed that they were in the first batch to enter the test, had already planned to find a buyer to sell the information they could get.

This was a competition, even if it was just a small monthly exam.

After a series of integrations, a certain group of people was first to receive the summarized information.

The Children of Destiny and their supporters.

After that exchange competition between many academies, the number of Children of Destiny in the Witch Academy could be said to have increased a lot.

And after such a long period of adaptation, many people had already accepted the fact that they had become students of the Witch Academy.

The supporters of these Children of Destiny would naturally contribute their own strength to their side.

In an instant, they formed their own small groups among the many people.

At this moment, Tan Han was surrounded by many people.

If someone had investigated a little, they would have found that most of these Children of Destiny were in the later batches.

The time and batches of the assessment were all arranged, and it was just enough to be completed in one day.

Tan Han listened to these people spontaneously describing the content of this monthly exam's practical combat test, focusing on the rules and opponent information.

For the change in the rules of this monthly exam, all of this was within Tan Han's acceptable range.

Although Tan Han had already lost the spellbooks she had obtained before, she did not regret it.

That was a farewell to that period of confusion.

And after such a long period of development, she had obtained one spellbook after another by her own means.

She began to pay attention to every spell from the Fireball.

As for why she started with the Fireball, perhaps Tan Han had some kind of obsession with the Fireball spell.

She was too impetuous before, with one high-consumption spellbook after another, especially after meeting Little Han.

Now, she treasures every spellbook she has obtained, and she can make full use of every spell in the place where it is most suitable.

And for this monthly exam, listening to the description, even Tan Han felt that it was a bit tricky.

The opponent's powerful spell control, and terrifying physical fitness plus high mobility, this was a very difficult opponent to deal with, whether in a long-range spell battle or a close-quarters fight.

The transformation spell, which was once very popular, also met its match at this moment.

If you were a squishy, you would die on the spot if you were not careful.

According to the description, the opponent in the first stage of the monthly exam did not use spells, and relied entirely on close-quarters combat skills and powerful physical fitness.

In the second stage, some spells began to be interspersed, and this was just the beginning of their suffering. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

In the third stage, even if the opponent did not release spells, the attack power of their bare hands was very terrifying.

The sonic boom from each punch and kick, almost half of the people died under such means.

As for the fourth stage... sorry, no one in the first batch had reached the fourth stage yet.

But according to this pattern, the fourth stage was very likely to be an enhancement of the spell power.

"This is the qi energy produced by cultivating physical arts. The target of our assessment this time is a person who cultivates both physical arts and spells."

After this description, Tan Han quickly reacted.

Then, a figure quickly flashed in her mind.

A person who cultivated both spells and physical arts, didn't she know one?

"What does that dream challenge target look like?"

"Hmm... it's someone I've never seen before. It's probably a randomly generated character by the academy. Her white hair and red eyes look quite scary."

"White hair, red pupils, right?"

Tan Han directly searched for the keywords, and the guess in her heart became clearer.

"Yes, does Big Sis Tan Han know her?"

"She is Yang Yuehan."

"Yang Yuehan?"

This name popped up and made everyone present stunned for a moment.

After all, they hadn't seen the owner of this name for a long time.

In the last practical combat assessment, this former number one newcomer, the newcomer who was called the "Calamity Witch," did not participate.

After that, they hadn't even seen her shadow.

Some people even spread rumors that Yang Yuehan had been expelled from school.

"How is that possible? How could she be Yang Yuehan? The change is too big, right?"

"That's right... she doesn't look like her..."

"She doesn't? I feel that her face shape is a bit..."

"Needless to say, I'm not very clear about Yang Yuehan's appearance. I only know that after the sleeping curse incident, Little Han seemed to have become like that. No one knows what she went through. I only saw her once in the monthly exam before the last one. If she hadn't taken the initiative to talk to me, I wouldn't have recognized her. But I have talked to her, and there's no mistake."

With Tan Han's affirmative tone, everyone also believed her.

After all, they were Tan Han's followers, and this identity would not be shaken by anything.

"Then... that's actually Big Sis Xiao Han?"

"I haven't seen her for a long time. Did she come back from some witch's secret realm again?"

"I'm not very clear either. Since she has appeared, maybe she also participated in this monthly exam."

Thinking of this, a hint of fighting spirit also flashed in Tan Han's eyes.

Although this was not a direct battle with her, it was considered an indirect exchange.

She also wanted to see how big the gap was between her who had said goodbye to her past self and the current Little Han.

That's right, it's how big the gap is, not about winning or losing.

Tan Han sees herself very clearly.

She is very confident, but not conceited.

Tan Han was still a little worried in her heart.

After all, she had given all those spellbooks to Little Han, so Little Han's combat power must be even stronger than before, right?

"Then should we go and see that Yang Yuehan? Since she also participated in the monthly exam, doesn't that mean she is also here at this moment?"

At this time, a follower at the side said, and his gaze also subconsciously swept across the crowd on the scene.

It should be a very simple matter to find a white-haired person in a sea of black-haired people.

"That's right..."

Tan Han was also a little moved by this proposal.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time.

She admitted that she still cared a lot about Little Han.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have given all her spellbooks to the other party, and all of this was just because of a joke.

"Huh? Wait, Big Sis Tan Han, that! Is that Big Sis Xiao Han? The one with the white hair!"

Suddenly, while Tan Han was thinking, a voice interrupted Tan Han's thoughts.

Then she raised her head and looked in the direction the person was pointing.

There was indeed a white-haired girl there.

"It seems to be her."

After seeing that figure, Tan Han only felt a hint of familiarity.

"Huh! Wait! Don't go! She's going for the assessment. What are you running over there for?"

"That seems to be the case... sorry."

"It's fine, let's go back and wait first... if that's Little Han, she should be out soon."

At this moment, following the strange movement of Tan Han's small group, many people's eyes also noticed the situation on Tan Han's side, and some people also followed the direction the person was pointing.

The people who had participated in the first batch of assessments quickly recognized that figure.

This was the person in the assessment.

This discovery immediately caused a heated discussion, discussing and guessing the identity of that person, and Tan Han did not spread her own thoughts.
