Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 473 -

Chapter 473: Senior Teaching Assistants

"Hmm... this must be it."

I looked at the conference room; this was my first time here.

Earlier, Teacher Lina called me here, informing me that my previous application had been approved, and I had now become a "glorious" joint exam teacher.

Teacher Lina said that because there weren't many applications for Teaching Assistant positions this time, I would temporarily be under her guidance.

She also added me to a temporary joint exam Teaching Assistant group.

Besides Teacher Lina and myself, there were only three other Teaching Assistants like me in the group, all of whom had more seniority.

The four of us formed the mobile team for the upcoming joint exam, commonly known as errand runners.

We primarily followed Lina's arrangements and secondarily followed the commands of other responsible mentors.

In short, we could be called upon by any Transcendent Witch if needed and spotted.

Although that might be an exaggeration, the meaning was roughly the same.

When I joined the group, the three of them were already there.

It was currently unknown if a fifth Teaching Assistant would join.

After a simple welcome, there wasn't much more conversation, so I didn't say much in the group.

Pushing open the door, only two girls were in the spacious conference room.

Even Teacher Lina, who had called me here, was nowhere to be seen, making me subconsciously check if I had gone to the wrong place.

"Hey sis, you didn't come to the wrong place. You must be Xiao Han, the new Teaching Assistant, right? You can come sit here with me."

At this moment, one of the girls, who looked not very tall, enthusiastically greeted me, pulling out a chair next to her.

Her light purple medium-short hair was very eye-catching, and its transparency was evident as it swayed.

But what was most striking was the pair of cat ears on top of her head.

"Thank you."

I smiled and walked over to sit down, though my body instinctively shifted a bit to maintain a slight distance from her.

However, my gaze remained fixed on the pair of cat ears on her head.

I could tell that it seemed to be just a... spell effect?

"If you stare at my ears like that, I'll get shy."

The girl covered her ears with both hands, feigning shyness, while the other girl, who was some distance away from her, couldn't help but let out a laugh.

"Pfft... Hehe, it's hard to imagine you being shy. Anyway, it's not like you're pretending."

"Girls are all like that when they're shy!"

She wasn't too annoyed about being called out; she just gently tightened the small jacket that had slipped down to her shoulders.

Inside the open jacket was smooth skin and a graceful waistline.

A strangely styled dark one-shoulder bra tightly gathered her not-so-large chest.

I looked at this boldly dressed girl.

It was indeed a question that someone who dared to dress like this would still be shy.

"Staring at people like that isn't very nice, you know? Also, my name is Liffia. I know you, Xiao Han, the celebrity of the freshman class."

"Then I won't introduce myself, okay?"

I don't know why, but it felt like everyone I met knew me, while I didn't recognize them, which made me extremely awkward.

However, this awkward situation should no longer be a problem for me.

Because I have the Appraisal Spell, Earth Vein Information doesn't lie, and Earth Vein Information also records some basic information, such as the individual characteristics of those who have visited.

This isn't something I can't know just because they don't speak.

"Of course, you can. After all, I'll need your help a lot, Xiao Han."

"I think it's more like you'll be cleaning up after her."

At this moment, the other girl interjected again.

I looked over, and at that moment, the Earth Vein Information data was almost organized.

And her name... Lin Yi, a name so simple that I thought there was a mistake.

"Hello Xiao Han, I'm Lin Yi. You can become a Teaching Assistant as a first-year student, you must have your own outstanding qualities. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, my full name is Yang Yuehan, this is my business card."

I said, handing over a business card.

"Thank you, your business card..."

She took the business card readily, and after receiving it, she was a little surprised.

"Traces of alchemy. What did you do on it? I saw you seemed to have made a special mark before giving it to me."

"Your observation is truly meticulous..."

"Don't be so meticulous, Xiao Han. Why are you so enthusiastic towards her? I was the one who spoke to you first, aren't you going to give me one?"

Liffia stood up from her seat, as if greatly wronged.

"Your desire for attention is so strong, I really feel sorry for those freshmen. And interrupting others is very rude, can't you let Xiao Han finish?"

Lin Yi said unceremoniously, her meaning clear: she was interested in what was on my business card.

"Here's one for you. I was planning to give you one anyway, since we'll be working together for a while in some capacity."

I took out one of my few remaining business cards and handed it over, while also thinking about refining a few more.

"This business card has a Summoning Ritual, a mark closely related to one of my Reverse Summoning Spell spellbooks. If you need me urgently, you can directly use this to summon me."

"Oh? Then can I summon you to my bed tonight? What time do you sleep? Do you like sleeping naked? And, and..."

Liffia asked excitedly, holding the business card, her words non-stop.

"Stop, if you keep talking like that, I'll put you on my blacklist. Besides, the initiative to be summoned is with me. You performing the Summoning Ritual only makes me perceive that you are summoning me. Whether I will be summoned by you depends on my mood."

I immediately interrupted this gal pal's remarks.

If she dared to do that, I'm afraid Big Sis Bai would strike down her house immediately.

"Is that so... a bit boring..."

Hearing that the spell effect wasn't what she had imagined, she immediately reined in her emotions.

However, I did make a note of her words.

Next time... maybe I could play like this with Big Sis Bai.

Seriously, it sounds quite exciting.

"Reverse Summoning Spell... interesting. I'll take the business card, but I won't use it casually."

Lin Yi put it away solemnly, then said to me.

"Oh, I generally don't respond to summons without reason. If it's an emergency, you can summon twice consecutively, and I might take it more seriously."

"A good decision. Relying on yourself is better than relying on others. I just thought you were a softhearted person who likes to help everyone."

"That's not necessarily true. I'm just a bit casual and serious."

I said, "But let me ask, is it just the three of us here right now?"

"For now, yes. Teacher Lina and one other haven't arrived yet."

Lin Yi said.

"Is that so..."

I nodded and said nothing more, but when my gaze swept over the information about Lin Yi that I hadn't had time to disperse, I discovered a secret!

This senior Teaching Assistant named Lin Yi... was once a kidnapped... boy.

Well, for now, this fact doesn't seem surprising.

From our conversation, I can also feel that unique masculine way of thinking, but her behavior and demeanor have completely become that of a girl.

Witchification truly is quite detrimental (beneficial) to people (humanity).

At this moment, I also subconsciously looked at Liffia.

I was slightly curious about her.

Such a distinctive Teaching Assistant must be a legend in the Witch Academy, and I wondered if she would hit on first-year girls.

Judging by her behavior towards me just now, the probability is not small.

During the inspection, I was also forced to chat with her for a while.

Using the Earth Vein Information Appraisal Spell to appraise a person's information was naturally a bit slow.

After all, a person's information is very complex, and to get more Earth Vein Information, one needs to expand the channels for acquiring Earth Vein Information.

Fortunately... the other party were all Teaching Assistants who hadn't severed their Earth Vein Chains.

If I used the Appraisal Spell on a Transcendent Witch... that would certainly be more restricted.

Before long, the information I obtained after the appraisal revealed a recent glorious deed of this senior, which seemed closely related to why she joined this joint exam mobile team.

In one of Liffia's recent missions, she caused a large-scale disaster outside the school.

Although the incident was suppressed and there were no public reports, she was warned and criticized by the academy, and her freedom to leave school was restricted; it was almost like being put on probation.

Then, with the endorsement of her mentor, she participated in this joint exam mobile team, which could barely be considered... being allowed out of school?

Speaking of which, she really dared to exploit the loopholes in the Witch Academy.

This is really... asking for trouble.

The Main World isn't that chaotic, probably largely because the academy places great restrictions on people like Liffia.

Thank you, Witch Academy.

Just as Liffia and I were chatting idly, Teacher Lina finally arrived.

I subconsciously checked the time Teacher Lina and I had agreed upon; there were about two or three minutes left.

She was really cutting it close.

Among the three of us, Lin Yi and I immediately stood up and greeted her politely.

"Everyone's here, Lin Yi, Xiao Han, hmm... is one still missing?"

Lina came in, smiled when she saw us, then looked around and noticed someone was missing.

"Teacher Lina, what about me? How could you forget me?"

At this moment, Liffia stood up again and asked tearfully.

"Oh, and you, Liffia, is that better?"

Lina's attitude towards Liffia was one of helplessness.

If it were before, I might have been a bit confused, but after learning even just one of her glorious deeds, I would no longer be puzzled.

And just as Teacher Lina was about to say something, a figure suddenly appeared at the conference room door.

"Perfect timing, Teacher Lina, you're 2 minutes and 8 seconds early."

I looked at the girl holding a delicate pocket watch in her hand.

Her tone of voice was very calm, even when facing Transcendent Witch Lina.

My first impression of her was a slight mystery, and a hint of arrogance.

Her long black hair was simply tied into a few braids, with the rest flowing down her back.

"Since you're here, take a seat. The main reason I gathered you all here today is to hold a small meeting and explain some precautions."

Lina didn't say anything else, just gestured for everyone to sit down.

"Everyone, you should all know each other, right? This is Xiao Han, who just became a Teaching Assistant recently. She probably needs a lot of looking after as a newcomer."

Lina said.

"The Xiao Han who was making waves earlier? I heard you have three Super Consumption Spellbooks by yourself, peerless, aren't you?"

The last arriving girl said.

"Just rumors spread by those who wanted to target me. Nice to meet you, Senior Edaline."

I said with a smile.

"You know me?"

Edaline was a little surprised by this; she didn't remember having any contact with me.

"I do now. This is my business card."

I smiled slightly and handed over a business card.

As for calling out her name, it was naturally with the help of the Appraisal Spell.

Perhaps this was the dimensionality reduction attack from the Earth Vein Chains.

They were still in the cradle of the Main World, while I had jumped out ahead of time.

Although I paid a small price, with the suppression of the alchemy collar, the price was negligible.

"Business card?"

Edaline didn't dwell on it too much, but curiously took my business card, as she felt traces of alchemy on it.

"Hmph crude alchemy craftsmanship. Did you solidify some spell ritual on it? Alright, alright since you've already handed it to me, I'll take it."

Although Edaline said so, she still accepted the item, as she couldn't quite understand what the solidified ritual was.

Anyway, it wasn't anything like eavesdropping or recording.

So she planned to go back and study it carefully.

As a Prospective Witch who started with alchemy, she couldn't immediately see through a small alchemy item; this was simply a challenge to her!

Since the other party could call out her name, it meant that the other party probably knew her well, and then used this inferior alchemy item to challenge her professionalism!

But it had to be said that she truly... didn't know this solidified ritual, because she had never seen it before.

At this moment, Edaline was already wildly imagining many baseless things in her mind.

But I was unaware of this, though she did guess one thing correctly: I did know a bit about this senior.

She was most skilled in alchemy, no wonder she subconsciously belittled my business card.

I admit my craftsmanship wasn't great, but I hadn't studied alchemy for long either.

Moreover, this girl had a lot of inner monologues.

Her very striking head of beautiful hair was also the source of her pride.

The reason for her pride was that she had broken the inherent "curse" that "either hair volume or alchemy would not be good."

All her long hair was maintained by herself, without any spell-based hair growth methods or similar means.

Mhm... to have such deep attainments in alchemy and still have a head of beautiful hair, she was indeed very confident...

"It's good that Senior accepted it. Please take good care of me in the future. Also... Senior, your hair is really well-maintained."

"Oh? Is... is that so? Hmph you have good taste."

She was a little embarrassed by my sudden compliment.

After all, under normal circumstances, although she did "show off" her beautiful hair and hoped for compliments, basically no one would use this as an entry point, making her feel that it was a trivial matter not worth deliberately envying.

Now, suddenly being praised, that somewhat unreal feeling made her momentarily stunned.

"Alright, since everyone has been introduced, I'll get straight to the point."

At this moment, Lina saw that the topic had strayed a bit, so she quickly brought the conversation back to business.

And I looked at Senior Edaline.

I didn't expect her to be a bit hot and cold, hehe... got her.
