Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 435 -

Chapter 435: Meeting Tan Han Again

In the dream pod, within the Primal Dream State.

"They're really treating me as a testing tool."

After casually beating the virtual version of myself from the first four stages to the ground, I stood up, clapped my hands lightly, and then looked forward to the final stage.

It was obvious that the first four stages were watered down, probably to accommodate the newcomers.

In the dream state, you could choose your own spellbooks, and the combat power of the newcomers could be improved very quickly with the right equipment.

And the final stage was unlimited in time, which meant that the other me in the dream state at this moment was the strongest me from before.

I had fought with her for a long time that day, and in the end, it was a draw.

Or rather, it was a forced draw, because that mentor didn't want to wait any longer.

Although it was a bit of a pity, the opponent whose data was synchronized with mine was so terrifying that even with the Tree of Knowledge as my ultimate means, deriving spells to fight the enemy, the other party could do the same thing as me without any cost by synchronizing with me, and drag me into a war of attrition.

I used all my strength to derive various spells from the Tree of Knowledge, with its derivatives and variations, the improvement of my physical arts skills, and the cultivation of my combat thinking.

The other party was my equal with just one synchronization.

Every bit of my improvement was in line with my combat philosophy, to defeat the opponent with any form of crushing.

But the other party only let me enjoy the thrill of crushing for a moment, and the rest was an endless delay.

This feeling was very frustrating for me.

But I also had to admit that just that one battle had turned the inspiration I had accumulated into battle skills and ideas that I had truly mastered, and I... was visibly getting stronger.

But I knew very well that this kind of strengthening was not unlimited.

This kind of extreme battle stimulated potential.

Without sufficient accumulation, a deathmatch would not lead to any improvement.

And it was precisely because that mentor saw my state that she made me stop.

It would have been meaningless to continue.

But now, I was meeting this guy in the dream state again.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited.

Watching the me with the exact same face slowly stand up, but at this moment, she had lost that bit of spiritual light from the other day.

The next moment, several spells exploded around me and her.

The almost invisible trajectories of the spells attacked me from the most tricky angles, but they were met and detonated by me.

This feeling was very similar to the previous battle, but then a collision of qi energy scattered the element-rich area created by the spell explosion.

This was a combat style that prioritized physical arts, with spell attacks as auxiliary interference.

In the fast-paced rhythm of close-quarters combat, high-consumption, long-charge spells became a burden.

Even spellbooks did not activate spells instantly, but this instant of time was the difference between victory and defeat in close-quarters combat.

But after the next few physical arts collisions, the other party gradually fell into a disadvantage.

And she was also clearly aware of this and quickly distanced herself from me, because she knew that I was stronger than her.

I was improving, but the other party was not.

Then the only option she had was to crush me with spells.

"But... it's too late! The speed at which guys who don't improve are eliminated is far beyond your imagination!"

I didn't choose to have a spell duel with her, because I understood that it wouldn't be long before the spell derivations she had mastered would also be left behind by me.

As long as she had no means to counter me or the same means, she could only be crushed by me.

Since there were no variables and the result was already foreseen, I naturally had no interest in continuing to waste time with her.

After all, this was just a monthly exam.

After the monthly exam, I still have to go to the plantation to find Sofili.

"Teleporting to create distance? How did you come up with that."

Seeing the other party already using this method to delay the battle, I already understood that the other party was done for.

"Die."

I said calmly.

Even though I knew very well that the other party would not give me a response, I still gave her a final ending.

Following a violent roar of a spell, this moment was brought to a final end.

I turned around.

Not looking at the explosion was my last insistence.

The strong never look back at explosions.

Then, a purification spell dispersed some of the negative spell effects that I had no time to care about during the battle.

The information of the Primal Dream State practical combat test appeared at this moment.

"4 minutes and 28 seconds, not bad. Last time, you and I were in a stalemate for several hours, right?"

Looking at the time taken for the final stage, I was not surprised.

Even a slight improvement can bring about an absolute crushing.

This monthly exam, even I was just barely able to solve her within five minutes, which was barely enough for the full basic score of the fifth stage.

According to the time-limited kill rule, then my total score should be full marks, right?

A bit easy, but it might not be the case for others.

At this time, the built-in system of the dream state prompted that I had already completed this practical combat assessment.

And I did not linger in the dream state and directly logged out.

Leaving the exam area, at this moment, I felt that the outside seemed to be full of people.

This crowd was not like the feeling of waiting to enter the exam hall when I came in, but the meaning of deliberately waiting for someone.

"Tsk... could it be that those guys from the first batch recognized me after they came out?"

After this thought flashed in my mind, I immediately used a disguise technique to change my appearance, and of course, the most important hair color.

Then I lowered my head and walked out from one side.

"Classmate, may I ask what you guys are doing here?"

After coming out, I randomly grabbed a person and asked curiously.

"I don't know. I heard that someone saw the person who was the data input for this practical combat test. The people who came out in the first batch seemed to have been brutally crushed by the virtual opponent generated from that person's data."

"Ah? Is that so? Sorry to bother you."

I simply ended the topic and prepared to leave immediately.

It seemed that my choice to disguise myself and run away just now was the right choice.

And just as I was preparing to leave, I saw a familiar person in the vast crowd.

Tan Han, and Minian and the others.

They were surrounded by many people.

I was stunned for a moment and then realized that these should be Tan Han's supporters.

Tan Han could be said to be the most orthodox Child of Destiny in the Witch Academy.

From the beginning of the school year, she had powerful strength, a dazzling halo, and a large number of mass followers.

Has even Tan Han reached this stage?

Perhaps Tan Han hadn't done anything.

Just by her own ability, she had people who played well with her.

The rest of the people basically chose Tan Han because they were following the trend of siding with someone.

"Is Tan Han also waiting for me?"

I muttered to myself, but my gaze was on Tan Han.

We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I feel that Tan Han has changed a lot.

Is she more confident than before?

But she has given me a difficult problem.

I'm not good at dealing with so many people.

Facing so many people, the only word in my mind is "a disorderly mob."

I shook my head, chuckled lightly, and then turned to leave.

But before I left, I did use a little trick.

At this moment, on Tan Han's side.

"Hmm?"

Tan Han suddenly felt as if something had locked onto her.

It felt very slight, and it also felt like an illusion.

But just as she was about to continue to put her realization on the main entrance and exit of the examination hall, her peripheral vision suddenly found a white figure, standing quietly in the surging crowd, just looking at her.

"Little Han?"

"What? Has Big Sis Xiao Han come out?"

At this moment, Minian, who was beside Tan Han, naturally heard Tan Han's whisper.

"You didn't see... oh, I saw it wrong."

"Big Sis Tan Han, Big Sis Xiao Han's white hair is so conspicuous, you can't be mistaken, right?"

Minian subconsciously looked in the direction of Tan Han's gaze, but did not see that conspicuous feature.

"You guys help me keep an eye out first, I'm going to the restroom. I'll go alone."

Tan Han casually found a lame excuse and left here, and the others did not have the tactlessness to want to follow.

After leaving the followers who surrounded her, at this moment, Tan Han was very sure that that figure was Little Han.

It was estimated that it was not a physical body, but an illusory clone.

She quickly thought of this spell.

After all, she had suffered a lot from this spell, and she had also witnessed the power and terror of this spell.

But she remembered that the requirement to be hit by this spell was not low, right?

She was actually hit so quietly.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace, chasing after that figure.

But she found that she couldn't catch up.

The other party just wanted to guide her somewhere.

But this also proved one thing, and that was that Little Han had already come out!

This speed... isn't it a bit too fast?

According to the information she had learned, this practical combat assessment should generally take about half an hour.

For ordinary students, perhaps they couldn't defeat the Little Han of the first few stages, but if they persisted for five minutes and reached the next stage, they would still get points.

And Little Han would definitely not be eliminated in advance like those ordinary students.

Then this meant that the other party had solved the battle at an extremely fast speed, and this also included the preparation time for the assessment, entering the dream state, and other operations.

How many minutes have passed?

When Tan Han came to an empty corner, the figure she had just seen also completely disappeared.

She didn't even have time to see how that figure disappeared.

"Long time no see, Tan Han. How have you been lately?"

At this time, a familiar voice came to Tan Han's ear.

The source of the voice was behind her.

"Little Han?!"

"Yes, you really gave me a big gift. As soon as I finished the test, I saw such a big scene. I was really flattered."

I said with a smile.

"Sorry, I didn't want it to be like this either."

"It's fine, I was just kidding. I naturally know the feeling of those guys watching the excitement. That's why I used this way to let you come and talk to me. I saw you were also waiting for me just now. Is there something?"

"Waiting for you..."

Tan Han was at a loss for words when I used this adjective, but their behavior just now seemed to be like that.

"Actually, it's like this. I learned from the classmates in the first batch of practical combat tests that the opponent in this test might be you."

"That's indeed true. Is it because of this that I am surrounded by so many people?"

"It was like this at the beginning. As for so many people surrounding, it may be because the figure of you walking in was seen by those classmates who came out in the first batch."

"Oh so it was my fault. I should have disguised myself before I went in."

After learning the truth, I also sighed.

"By the way, I called you over, it shouldn't delay your test, right?"

"It's fine, I'm in a later batch. I probably won't get my turn until the afternoon."

Tan Han waved her hand to show that it was nothing.

Then Tan Han also took the initiative to start the topic.

"I'd like to ask, since this test is based on you as a prototype, is the data you left behind your strongest combat power?"

"Hmm... how should I put this? I also updated the data a few days ago. For the me at that time, that was my full strength. But for the current me, it's not necessarily so, because every meaningful battle will make me stronger."

"Is that so?"

After getting such an answer, Tan Han also subconsciously smiled with relief.

But at the same time, she silently mourned for those classmates for a second in her heart.

"Looking at you, you're eager to try? Then I'll wish you good luck." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

As I said this, I thought of something and took out something.

It was all the spellbooks that Tan Han had given me.

"And this, you actually had Senior Ying Shiqian give it to me without a word. It was actually not necessary. I was just joking back then. Why take it so seriously?"

"For me, this is not just a joke, nor is it just taking a childish joke seriously. This is my farewell to the past."

"There's no need to say goodbye to the past... hmm, alright, it seems I'm going to say something superfluous. Are you sure you don't want it? You're putting a lot of pressure on me by giving me this. To be honest, I actually don't want it."

"So Little Han, you also feel pressure? I thought someone as free-spirited as you wouldn't care at all."

Hearing my words, Tan Han also subconsciously chuckled.

"How could that be? I'm scared to death of these annoying things, so I try my best to avoid them. But... if you ask me, in the upcoming practical combat test, if you don't have these spells, I think you might lose very badly."

"Are you that confident?"

"Of course."

"Then how about we make a bet?"

Tan Han said upon seeing my demeanor.

"A bet? What kind of bet?"

"I bet on whether I can defeat the you at your peak at that time with these spellbooks. If I win, I will take these spellbooks. If I lose, you will take them."

"Wait, did you say it backwards?"

I looked at Tan Han with a strange gaze and asked.

"No, I will go all out. Even if I lose like this, then it means that these spellbooks are equivalent to nothing to me. I will not take them back. I will continue to become stronger in my own way."

"Then what if you win?"

"If I win, it means that perhaps I shouldn't have entrusted these spellbooks to you. I admit that they have given you more of a burden. And... you were the one who said you didn't want them, right?"

"There's actually a little bit of logic. You're actually betting that you can't beat me? When did you become so pessimistic?"

"No, this is a manifestation of my confidence. It also means that I will not lose my original heart and become conceited because of power. Although I don't know what you did during your absence, I know that you will not do meaningless things."

"Alright then... I'll add another insurance. If you win by a fluke, I can tell you what I did. How about that? I guarantee you'll be interested in this."

"Hehe... you're so worried that I'll go easy on you? But since you said so, I have to go all out."

"So you didn't plan to go all out before?"

I asked back with a smile.

"No, it's just that I've added another reason on top of the reason to go all out. The thing you said that you couldn't say, it should be related to the script, right?"

"I didn't say anything, you know?"

I waved my hands, showing that I knew nothing.

Because I also didn't know if this was related to the script, but for that small world to directly insert itself into the main world with such a volume, it was very likely that the Academy Head and the others would design this matter as a script node.

"Then I'll go first. My excuse for leaving was to go to the restroom. I have to go back now."

"You're leaving already? It also takes time to touch up your makeup after you're done. I have something else to give you."

I smiled and stopped Tan Han, "I have something for you."

"What else?"

"This."

I handed out something.

It was the positioning summoning ritual for the Reverse Summoning Spell that I had made with alchemy.

I had given it to many people before and still had a few left.

It was just right to give one to Tan Han.

"What is this?"

"This is a summoning ritual for a Reverse Summoning Spell. After you activate it, if I have time, I will respond to the summons and appear in front of you."

"A Reverse Summoning Spell?"

Tan Han looked at this small gadget in great surprise, "What a magical thing."

"Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't activate it for fun if there's nothing. If there's an emergency, you can activate it twice in a row. Also, don't use it in a crowded place and get me into trouble."

"Oh... alright."

Tan Han held this small alchemical item and quickly understood the meaning of my few requests.

"Thank you for the good thing. I have to go back now."

"Yes, I won't see you off."

I waved my hand and had no intention of keeping her.

Then, my figure disappeared on the spot.
