Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 467 -

Chapter 467: No Matter How Eloquent Your Speech, Is It as Aromatic as Big Sis Bai?

After more than ten minutes of narration, combined with the modeling, analysis, and explanation provided by the Tree of Knowledge, I smoothly concluded my explanation of the Fireball Spellbook model's construction.

However, most of this was my personal perspective.

If I wanted to, I could have continued for a few more hours, explaining related derivative spell sequences of the Fireball Spellbook to the teachers.

But I clearly remembered that this was an interview.

The fact that I spent so long just on this one segment clearly indicated that most of the teachers were supportive of me using more time to demonstrate my personal ability.

The documents they held were ultimately just cold, hard text.

It could never be as direct as listening to a person narrate the process face-to-face.

Some teachers had already taken out their phones and were searching for my papers on the Academy System Academic Section.

“Judging by your demeanor, you also seem to have extensive research on the Fireball Spell's derivative sequences…”

“Wait a moment!”

Seeing the witches who were very knowledgeable about Spellbooks attempting to continue the discussion, a witch who was looking at her phone interrupted them.

After all, this was an interview, not a class where students lectured them on their academic insights regarding Spellbook models.

“I believe this is sufficient to prove Classmate Yang Yuehan’s academic achievements regarding this paper, and I can discern your profound foundation in Runology from this.”

“However, I have one question. Although my research into Runology is not profound, I can see that your paper focuses heavily on the Spellbook's structure, almost completely avoiding the topic of runes. Furthermore, the Spellbook model presented in the paper is limited to updating the macro-level observable structural model and does not include the rune level. May I ask why?”

“Because I hadn't come into contact with Runology at that time,” I said simply.

“Hadn't come into contact with Runology?”

The witch who asked the question was somewhat surprised.

She then looked at the publication date of the paper, calculating the timeline.

“According to this timeframe, you shouldn't have been studying at the Witch Academy for very long at that point, should you? Or rather, you shouldn't have been in contact with Transcendent Power for very long. So, how did you manage to co-author this paper with the witch named Xi Lan?”

The interview process requires verifying every student’s information, and she naturally had to ask about anything that seemed outrageous.

Even though I had demonstrated the ability to write this paper now, fabricating the past was still shameful.

“Teacher Xi Lan is my homeroom teacher. I have Innate Spirit Vision.”

I said concisely.

After I finished speaking, the Transcendent Witches conducting the interview turned their heads, murmuring softly to the witch next to them.

They had naturally heard of Spirit Vision—a highly characteristic talent of the Main World, a heavenly bestowed talent that allows one to perceive True Vision without achieving Transcendent status.

The basic common knowledge provided before entering the Main World mentioned it, but it did not include the specific circumstances of Innate Spirit Vision, as the common knowledge contract had limited space and could not record every detail.

“Is the Spirit Vision of the Main World that terrifying?”

“I'm not sure, but she said Innate Spirit Vision, which might be even more formidable. And… the document records it, so she wasn't lying.”

“It’s roughly analogous to a higher level of True Vision. It can indeed observe things on the True Time plane.”

“I wonder how many students in the Main World Witch Academy possess Innate Spirit Vision? The Witch Academy should have a recruitment quota for this kind of talent, right? How many per batch, roughly?”

“Not sure. We'll ask later.”

While these new teachers were making these baseless speculations, the veteran teachers on the side rubbed their foreheads.

What were they even talking about?

Recruitment quota… most people with Innate Spirit Vision are sent to mental institutions every year.

Who would recruit them?

Little Han is special, understand?

The matter was quickly settled.

After all, they only needed an explanation, and generally, no one would intentionally pursue this kind of trouble.

When this topic concluded, the interview was essentially a guaranteed success.

My value had been proven.

The remaining part was to continue raising my other values.

If I were merely seeking the Teaching Assistant qualification, I had already over-fulfilled the task.

However, these witches were clearly quite interested in the subsequent information on my profile, especially the new Transcendent Witches.

They saw experience related to Grand Spellbook research on a student’s profile!

Although the profile only stated proficiency in operating and maintaining the equipment related to the [Transcendent Knowledge] research project and the ability to craft the core components of the related equipment by hand.

But this didn't stop them from drawing other connections.

If a teacher hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have known that the document recording my personal information, which the teachers held, actually included this kind of information…

My guess was that a large part of this personal information came from Teacher Ji Niang.

Since I hadn't disclosed such things, the source was self-evident.

But it was clear that the teachers were very interested in the fact that I had been exposed to [Transcendent Knowledge] research, especially the Academic Witches.

One of the reasons they came to the Main World was that they heard there were research bases for Grand Spellbook study here.

As Transcendent Witches who lacked resources, background, and connections, possessing only the essence of a Transcendent life and immense power, they had to rely on their own efforts to reach a higher level.

Now, seeing that even a student was qualified to touch [Transcendent Knowledge] filled them with hope.

Time passed quickly.

Even though I alone took up almost an hour of the interview time, they would have loved to continue the conversation if they hadn't considered the many students waiting behind me.

It was clear that the topics they wanted to discuss had already exceeded the scope of the interview, and this was only partially restrained by the presence of several veteran witches.

At this moment, the witches present became increasingly satisfied with the young woman before them.

Setting aside the issue of her lack of seniority, she was the absolutely perfect, full-score Teaching Assistant!

If such a terrifying student could maintain this momentum and advance to a Transcendent Witch, she could easily become a powerful witch who could carry them along.

Witches have no shortage of time.

Witches planning to permanently stay in the Main World have even more time.

They were willing to witness the rise of a genius during their boring life at the academy.

The understanding of spells and the learning talent she currently displayed, not to mention her profile documenting her independently created spells like the Nightmare Spell, the Dream Rewrite Spell, and the Dream Rewrite Spell—spells that veteran witches had already crafted into Spellbooks and for which related information could be found in the Witch Academy—was undeniable.

By the end, many witches verbally expressed their extreme optimism for me, and some hinted that they would be willing to take me on as their Teaching Assistant.

While a Teaching Assistant is superficially there to handle trivial matters for the teacher and may even act as a substitute teacher, if the teacher takes on a genius, they will not be stingy with their knowledge to instruct a future sister.

Of course, not every witch favors genius students.

For some, a genius or a fool are all mere ants who have not advanced to a Transcendent Witch.

They treat everyone equally.

However, such witches generally do not look for Teaching Assistants.

So, it was clear that the witches here selecting Teaching Assistants did not fit that description.

“Yang Yuehan, I feel this interview should be called a mutual exchange. I believe most of the teachers present are quite satisfied with you. The core intention of this final interview stage of the Teaching Assistant assessment is for a mutual exchange and mutual selection between the prospective Teaching Assistant and the teacher.”

“We never begrudge teaching an excellent Teaching Assistant, and we are even willing to let her touch things that only those at the Transcendent level are qualified to touch. Therefore, choosing a teacher to follow is an extremely important matter. This relationship is different from the relationship you form when you choose a teacher in your fourth year. I almost forgot you haven’t even chosen a teacher yet. But I believe you can distinguish the importance of this choice.”

“I understand.”

I gave Teacher Cindy a graceful smile in response.

This teacher, as a veteran teacher among this group, had essentially taken the initiative to host the interview process.

“So now it is time for you to make your choice. I said this is a mutual selection. If you want to know more about any teacher, you can directly ask to communicate with them and make your final decision based on the feeling you get from the exchange. An excellent student deserves special treatment.”

As Teacher Cindy’s words fell, the most shocked people were naturally the seniors who had not yet been interviewed and those who had finished their interview but had not yet left.

Why didn't they get this kind of process?

Why was this person treated so specially?

Although they already had the answer in their hearts, an answer is one thing, and the unwillingness to accept it is another.

But after some thought, many seniors were already resigned.

Especially those who had already been interviewed—seeing the teachers' lack of interest after their own interviews—they didn't have the audacity to ask the same question…

“I choose Teacher Bai Yu.”

Facing the expectant gazes of the teachers present, I stated my choice without hesitation.

No matter how eloquently you speak, is it as aromatic as Big Sis Bai?

I think not.

And… the Transcendent-level things Teacher Cindy promised I would be exposed to—haven't I already been exposed to enough?

I am suffering from a slight information overload now.

There are simply too many good things.

I need time to digest and settle them.

I have my own plan.

I see their expectations for me in their eyes, but aren't those expectations also a form of shackles?

They value the potential I displayed, but I haven't revealed my true foundation or my plans for myself, and these are not things I will allow anyone to dictate to me.

I will not even allow the possibility of that happening.

Compared to the future they foresee for me, I prefer to choose my own freedom.

The last witch who wanted to teach me something and hoped for me to become something was Teacher Ji Niang, but now Teacher Ji Niang is almost letting go of me… Therefore, Teacher Ji Niang's willingness to let me go is what I admire most about her.

I will never forget Ji Niang, for she was my first "benefactor" and the witch who completely transformed the trajectory of my life.

“Wait… who did you say you chose?”

After a moment of silence, Cindy was the first to break the quiet.

Her tone was full of disbelief.

Subsequently, the other witches also reacted, remembering the rumors about the relationship between Bai Yu and this student…

But all of this felt like a dream.

Bai Yu, the teacher chosen, had remained silent for almost the entire interview, yet the interviewee chose her without the slightest hesitation.

“Little Han, don't joke about your future. Do you know who the teacher you've chosen is?”

“I know you have a relationship with this Bai Yu, but you don't have to maintain this relationship at the expense of your talent! She is a Body Cultivation Witch! Her courses are all closely related to Body Cultivation! Your talent should be focused on spell-related academic research!”

The agitated witch practically blurted out everything the other witches wanted to say to persuade me.

Her tone even carried a hint of interrogation and absolute authority.

But precisely because of this interrogative attitude and unquestionable authority, I felt that my choice was not wrong.

If the Transcendent world were beyond question, it wouldn't be what I wanted.

“I am a Self-awakened Body Cultivator.”

Facing the crowd of agitated witches who had stood up, I spoke clearly between their gasps.

When I finished speaking, they all fell silent again.

They had also apparently overlooked the most inconspicuous detail in the mountain of data—a piece of data that recorded such a terrifying talent.

Self-awakened Body Cultivator—the moment this term was uttered, some witches instinctively felt a sense of confusion.

Body Cultivation is somewhat niche among witches, let alone the even rarer Self-awakened Body Cultivator.

They didn't understand what Self-awakened Body Cultivation represented.

And at this moment, Big Sis Bai, who had been silent all this time, finally stood up, because she understood that she had to intervene now!

“What is the meaning of this? Are you looking down on Body Cultivation? Do you really think you understand Little Han well enough to clamor about what’s good for her? Do you think you know her well after only an hour of contact?”

“If you understand Little Han, then you should affirm Little Han's talent in other areas! Body Cultivation is already a niche choice for witches! You are just fixated on the talent of a Self-awakened Body Cultivator…”

At this point, one witch stood up to refute.

“I advise you to go back to the Witch World's Great Library and ask the Primal Witch what the concept of a Self-awakened Body Cultivator means before speaking like that! Do you think you understand Little Han? You don't even understand the concept of Innate Spirit Vision and yet you are making a fuss here. Do you only see Little Han's abilities and talents? What about the cost?”

As Big Sis Bai finished this round of words, many of the witches fell silent.

The witches who were not impulsive or who understood what a Self-awakened Body Cultivator was simply watched the spectacle.

“I heard you talking earlier about the academy's recruitment quota for Innate Spirit Vision students. Since you are newcomers to the Main World, I can provide you with some common knowledge on this matter. The Witch Academy, and almost all Transcendent Academies in the Main World, have no such quota for recruiting Innate Spirit Visionaries. This is because essentially all Innate Spirit Visionaries in the Main World are in mental institutions. Only Little Han is special. Do you understand?”

“If Spirit Vision is a blessing bestowed by the Main World, then Innate Spirit Vision is a curse that is too much of a good thing.”

“However, the Five Senses Enhancement practice of Body Cultivation can help her adapt to the True Time perspective brought by Innate Spirit Vision. When she advances to a Transcendent Witch, she will inherit the talent of Spirit Vision, making her True Vision far surpass her other four real senses. Do you think you have any other way to help Little Han rapidly balance this disparity in sensation, other than the True Five Senses cultivation system of Body Cultivation?”

As Big Sis Bai stood up and pressed hard, her aura immediately overwhelmed the crowd of witches.

The pressure of her unique Five Senses Perception from Body Cultivation instantly made them calm down.

If everything the other party said was true, then their intervention was indeed ill-considered.

What surprised them even more was the level of understanding and closeness this Body Cultivation Witch had with Little Han.

At the very least, putting themselves in her shoes, they wouldn't dare to confront so many witches head-on.

So, they appropriately backed down.

They truly suffered from a lack of knowledge about the Main World.

However, seeing the other party walk away with the student they favored—no, who was now a Teaching Assistant—left them with a great sense of frustration.

“Forget it. Since the position is already taken… next.”

Cindy said, also reminding the witches that the matter was settled.

Witches don't easily make enemies of each other.

After all, a witch's lifespan is long, and making an enemy over small matters would only make the rest of one's life difficult.

Moreover… looking at the bigger picture, this was just a Teaching Assistant position, and weren't there many others behind?
