Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 446 -

Chapter 446: The Shortcut to Becoming a Teaching Assistant

I arrived at the main gate of the Witch Academy.

The actual teaching area of the Witch Academy was not large; the surrounding residential areas were also included within the academy, which resulted in the current situation where the Witch Academy covered a vast area.

I vaguely remembered that the Witch Academy was an academy superimposed on the external city of Modu.

The admission notice was the first one-way ticket into the academy.

The first time I entered, I was shocked by this situation.

At that time, I did not have the level of control over Spirit Vision that I have now.

Looking out, I could even see the overlapping of buildings between the Witch Academy and the outside world’s Modu space.

Now, all of this was something I had grown accustomed to.

Before, Big Sis Bai led me into the Witch Academy, and now, I was standing here waiting for Big Sis Bai's return.

And this wait lasted for several hours.

The Academy Head did not give me a specific time, perhaps because I arrived too early.

I didn't wait for the new Witch Academy teachers, but I did wait for a few older female students (seniors).

“Oh? I didn't expect someone to come so early. What kind of attire is that?”

I looked at the senior who spoke. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Originally, I wasn't going to pay attention to them, as I thought they were just passing by, until they also stopped here.

“I didn't bother you, did I? Couldn’t you try to be a bit more benevolent with your words?”

“Dyeing your hair white and wearing cosmetic contact lenses, are you perhaps one of the Little Han Support Group? I really don't know what's wrong with your brains; dyeing your hair white, do you want to get into your coffin earlier?”

“That’s none of your business.”

I said calmly, but subconsciously glanced at a figure soaring high in the academy sky—it was a member of the Disciplinary Squad.

It's a shame.

It’s best not to start a fight in the Witch Academy, and if you do, it’s best to be in the right.

“It’s none of our business? We deliberately came here at this time; don't we all have a similar goal? Do you really think the new teacher will take a liking to you? Being so flashy, be careful not to leave a bad first impression on them.”

“…”

I was silent for a moment upon hearing what the other person said, because I realized their goal seemed similar to mine.

Were they also preparing to become a Teaching Assistant?

But I was here to welcome Big Sis Bai.

What were they here for?

Surely it wasn’t just to leave a good impression on the other person?

I personally felt that was unnecessary.

“You want to become a Teaching Assistant?”

I looked them over again, finally deciding to just ask, because I was too lazy to guess what they were up to.

“Hmph Aren’t you?”

“I naturally want to as well. It’s a matter of relying on one’s own ability. Is there a need to belittle others? Making it seem like you're somehow superior.”

“We just hope some people have some self-awareness. I don't know where you got your hearsay, waiting here foolishly for so long. Hmph.”

“…”

At this point, I stopped talking to her, as I realized it was a waste of my time.

Besides, if information learned directly from the Academy Head counted as hearsay, then was the information the other person possessed not sewer rumors?

However, this also made me take notice, as their presence made me realize the difficulty of securing a Teaching Assistant qualification.

I had learned from the Academy Head that every teacher at the Witch Academy, provided they offered legitimate courses (whether fixed or unscheduled paid courses), could take on one Teaching Assistant, though they could also choose not to.

The Academy Head told me that most teachers actually didn't take on many Teaching Assistants, so the chance of the current teachers taking on a Teaching Assistant was small; things were mostly finalized.

Thus, a little thought led to the conclusion that only the new teachers would have the inclination to take on a Teaching Assistant to help them mitigate some of the initial trouble and adjust to the new environment.

As time passed, a few more seniors arrived here.

Their presence also created a slight pressure on me, because the number of Magic Power Sources inside their bodies was in the large thousands, and they also possessed many Spellbooks.

Therefore, if they were to fight, it would be quite terrifying.

However, the moment I thought about how I wasn't competing with them, the pressure instantly vanished.

At this moment, my heart was filled with nothing but admiration.

The students confident enough to vie for the Teaching Assistant qualification were all the outstanding ones in the Witch Academy.

There was no grade distinction here, only differences in personal ability and quality.

It was obvious that they were no longer satisfied with their student status.

Perhaps they wanted to access the power of the academy's faculty, or simply gain the title of Teaching Assistant so they could return as teachers more easily after graduation, and so on.

But what was certain was that they all had their own reasons.

Concurrently.

“Follow me. Many of you are probably coming to the Main World for the first time. Some information regarding the Main World has already been sent to you; remember to take the time to learn about it in detail. What I just sent you is the mobile phone used universally in the Main World, driven by Magic Power. Just don't break it. After entering the Witch Academy, you will need to register with the Academy Head. The Academy Head should have already planned your arrangements. As for everything else, please feel free to proceed as you wish.”

At this moment, this group of witches, following the witch leading them, had arrived at Modu.

Soon, they would be able to directly enter the Witch Academy.

A considerable portion of these witches were coming to the Main World for the first time.

However, upon arrival, the feeling the Main World gave them was not as stunning as they had imagined.

There was also a sense of suppression.

This was the spell effect of the Great Weakening Spell, which they knew was the handiwork of one of the Witch Academy Heads.

They had already learned these common facts beforehand.

“Oh? Can we really do anything we want?”

“Within the rules and unwritten rules, you can do anything you want. Of course, while some things can be done, please consider the consequences of doing so. This is the Main World, so please don't be too indulgent here. Modu is just ahead. The location of the Witch Academy is a separate space superimposed on top of Modu, completely separated by a Curtain Wall.”

Following this explanation, many of the witches noticed this point.

Among them, a few witches, upon seeing this scene, had a flash of nostalgia or an air of being used to it.

It was obvious they were seniors who had graduated and left the Main World before.

“By the way, after you enter the Witch Academy, the first people you might encounter are the students welcoming you.”

“Eh? Students welcoming us? That’s too much honor, isn’t it?”

Hearing that someone was welcoming them, one of the witches said in surprise.

“No, you are flattering yourselves. I’m not sure exactly how many there will be, but there won't be many. They are not simply here to welcome you; they are aiming for the single Teaching Assistant position you hold. Of course, you don't necessarily have to completely ignore them. The fact that they can be here to greet you shows they have some initiative. However, you are not necessarily obliged to choose a Teaching Assistant from among these students.”

After the witch who was introducing the basic situation finished speaking, many of the witches showed an inscrutable smile.

They hadn't even entered the main gate of the Witch Academy, yet students were already vying for the Teaching Assistant positions they possessed.

Of course, many witches expressed disdain for this, as they didn't need any Teaching Assistant.

But some witches were very interested.

At this moment, among the group of Transcendent Witches, one particularly young-looking witch's eyes flashed with a hint of interest.

And this person was naturally Bai Yu.

Bai Yu was accompanied by two other young women who were also Transcendent Witches.

Judging solely by their appearance, no one could tell the actual age of a Transcendent Witch, but at this moment, they were directly positioned on Bai Yu’s left and right, casually chatting.

These two were witches Bai Yu met after leaving the Main World.

It wasn't exactly a coincidence.

After all, a batch of witches wants to enter the Main World every so often, and a batch of witches who can't stand it want to leave.

However, the number of Transcendent beings in the Main World is kept in a state of dynamic balance, so the quota for entering the Main World is limited, and this limited quota also needs to be allocated among other Transcendent Races.

These two coincidentally discovered this young woman who had graduated from the Main World Witch Academy and, driven by their own curiosity about the Main World, came to strike up a conversation, wanting to know about the Main World's situation.

It was in this situation that they learned the young woman's name was Bai Yu.

Although they would receive detailed intelligence about the Main World eventually, when there was a "local" living legend, they naturally preferred to hear the information from the local person for a more authentic perspective.

In fact, there were quite a few witches trying to get close to Bai Yu at the time, but only these two ultimately passed and secured the qualification to enter the Main World.

Coincidentally, these two were also twins.

One was named Miao, and the other was named Hei.

Their names were only one character long, which were more like code names than names.

Bai Yu only learned, upon casual inquiry, that they were witches who had graduated from a Witch Academy in another world within the Void and had been graduated for some time.

It was also through this opportunity that Bai Yu learned about the huge disparity between Witch Academies in different worlds, a disparity so stark that only the academy's name was the same—a cruel reality.

Therefore, these two had endured great suffering to advance to Transcendent Witches and leave their original academy.

Only after becoming Transcendent Witches did they understand that the gap between Witch Academies could be so vast.

After a comparison, they ultimately chose this Main World Witch Academy as their place of recuperation for a long time to come.

They truly wanted to experience the peaceful atmosphere of a Witch Academy in a peaceful world.

The friendship between Miao and Hei and Bai Yu began with this connection.

Originally, their relationship with Bai Yu was merely a casual acquaintance.

It wasn't until Bai Yu produced a letter of recommendation from the Academy Head of the Main World Witch Academy that they understood the person in front of them might be a big shot—a letter of recommendation!

Who could get one without connections?

They decided they must cling firmly to such a big shot.

Furthermore, after many were eliminated, only the two of them remained closely acquainted with Bai Yu.

So, at this moment, among a group of unfamiliar witches, the three of them became friends who were reluctantly compatible.

This batch of witches was also divided into many different types of witches.

Some were famous Academic Witches who had come to the Main World, ready to display their talents.

Some had a specialized skill and were looking to teach to occupy their time.

And another batch were simply looking to change their lives and experience a different type of existence.

“Xiao Bai Are you going to try and take on one of those students as an assistant when you meet them?”

Miao asked.

“Me?”

Taken aback by the sudden question, Bai Yu was momentarily stunned.

“I might take on an assistant, but not necessarily here. Also, you two shouldn't be too hasty in your selection.”

“It’s fine. It’s just to help solve some trivial matters. Even if we find out the student’s character isn't good, we can just switch to a new one.”

“That’s right! If I choose, I’ll pick a very beautiful type, at least someone pleasing to look at.”

“Then I hope you can choose someone who meets your expectations.”

“Alright. But Xiao Bai, what's wrong? Did coming here make you feel nostalgic? I haven’t seen you say much. You should be the most familiar with this place, right?”

“It's very familiar. I looked at it for many years.”

Bai Yu nodded and said.

“In that case, we sisters will rely entirely on you, okay?”

At this moment, inside the Witch Academy.

With a sudden anomalous fluctuation in the Curtain Wall, this phenomenon immediately invigorated the students who had been waiting here for a long time.

Including me.

I had already seen the group of witches gathering outside the Curtain Wall through the barrier and the space.

Among all the witches, I finally saw that familiar figure.

At this moment, I completely relaxed.

Big Sis Bai was finally back… I had waited for this moment for a long time!

As space fluctuated, a figure stepped out directly from the gate that opened on the Curtain Wall.

Her gaze swept over the students who had been waiting here for a long time, but she said nothing.

She had seen this kind of scene before.

After all, the academy did not prohibit students from recommending themselves to new teachers to become a Teaching Assistant.

However, the selection of a Teaching Assistant by this teacher was not simply a matter of choice.

The Teaching Assistant had to undergo a Teaching Assistant Qualification Examination corresponding to the teacher to determine if they were qualified for the position.

Therefore, these students were not so much seeking to become a Teaching Assistant as they were seeking a shortcut to securing the Teaching Assistant Examination Qualification.

The students who volunteered here were mostly those who had confidence in themselves.

The Teaching Assistant examination consists of two parts: the Teaching Assistant personal ability examination and the teacher’s willingness.

If the teacher was determined to take on this specific Teaching Assistant, it meant they already had one foot through the door to the Teaching Assistant position, significantly lowering the difficulty of passing the Teaching Assistant Qualification Examination.

But the basis for all of this was that one's own ability had to be up to par.

The academy would not allow a teacher to keep a mere "pretty face" as a Teaching Assistant if they lacked ability.

Otherwise, the meaning would be too obvious, and the academy would not encourage the prevalence of such "getting-something-for-nothing" notions among the students.

As a few new teachers walked out of the door on the Curtain Wall, the students on the side all swarmed forward, but they did not dare to be overly demonstrative.

After all, those who came here were intelligent people who knew what attitude to adopt in what situation, otherwise, everything would be counterproductive.

On the contrary, I, who remained motionless, became the anomaly here.

I didn't rush forward, naturally because my goal was very clear.

It wasn't until a familiar figure walked through the door on the Curtain Wall that I finally moved.

My nervous heart was in my throat at this moment.

But I suppressed this inner excitement and walked steadily forward, wanting to quickly reach that figure.

And at that moment, amidst the crowd, the other party's gaze met mine directly.

I stopped dead in my tracks, frozen, until a slight curve appeared at Bai Yu's mouth.

Big Sis Bai was smiling at me.

At this moment, the last trace of worry in my heart completely vanished, because Big Sis Bai hadn't changed at all…
