Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 487 -

Chapter 487: A Dimensionality Reduction Attack with Real-time Intelligence

“Sigh sigh! Edaline do you really think it’s possible? Half a day, it’s only been half a day since the joint exam started, and the Witch Academy has occupied as many as 15 resource points?”

Liffia looked at the midday sun in the sky, then caught up to Edaline, who had left earlier with the resources.

“15? Where did you get that confidence? Do you even know how many resource points there are on the main island in total?”

As if she had long expected Liffia to catch up, she slapped away the other's arm and sidestepped to dodge her enthusiastic hug.

“That’s why I came to ask you, but this is Little Han's prediction, completely without basis.”

“Little Han?”

Edaline turned her head and looked at Liffia with some surprise, “What did she tell you?”

“She just said she wanted to play a game with me, predicting the situation of this joint exam, and asked me to go verify it when I have time. Then she said that the Witch Academy's candidates have already occupied more than ten resource points. It just so happens we're going to deliver some supplies, want to go take a look?”

“I was going to deliver resources in the first place. If you want to follow, that's up to you, just don't hold me back.”

“Eh? No, how can delivering things hold you back?”

Liffia quickly followed, “By the way, do you know which resource points these resources are being delivered to? Why are you walking so fast?”

“Just go wherever the main force of the Witch Academy is. We can ask a candidate when we run into one,” Edaline said nonchalantly.

They were patrol teachers, not mentors watching the backend data.

After a resource point was occupied, the score distribution was recorded directly after being discussed and allocated at the beginning.

After this initial allocation, these score points would be distributed again every day, so occupied resource points could be seized multiple times, but the acquired score points would only be distributed the next day.

The resources secured by the teaching assistants from various academies could be distributed to the resource points occupied by their own academy according to the situation.

They could be distributed evenly or targetedly; this depended on the teaching assistant's own judgment.

Of course, if an academy had not occupied any resource points, they couldn't distribute the resources even if they had obtained them.

Resources could not be given directly to their own candidates.

Just as the two were about to do so, suddenly Liffia and Edaline’s phones both buzzed.

It was a message in the teaching assistants’ small group chat.

“What is this… what is this that Little Han sent?”

Liffia opened her phone and looked at the message in the group.

Edaline didn't open hers, but instead glanced sideways at Liffia’s.

“It’s a map, a map of the Bobapus Archipelago,” Edaline quickly identified and said.

“Of course I can tell it's a map,” Liffia retorted, and then several more messages were sent out.

They spent a few minutes reading the messages, and Liffia couldn't help but send a “?” over.

“Wait, my brain can't quite keep up. Little Han is asking me to make a targeted drop of these supplies? She's even marked the resource points for us? Where did she get this intel… didn't she go with us to grab resources midway?”

“Stop talking.”

Edaline kicked Liffia to make her stop asking.

She seemed to have figured something out.

Just when they were still thinking about how to use some small tricks to help the Witch Academy's candidates, someone had probably already made contact with a portion of the academy's candidates without anyone noticing.

“We’ll know when we go and see. Remember! This is the information Little Han obtained through that prophecy spell,” Edaline said decisively.

“Eh? Oh…”

Seeing Edaline like this, Liffia wasn't so slow that she hadn't reacted by now.

She just found it a little hard to believe, because in her perception, there was no way Little Han had the opportunity to do so many things.

And Little Han didn't have many opportunities to make contact with the Witch Academy's candidates alone.

Even if she did, no one knew if the current scene was being broadcast live.

If she was caught red-handed, it would be over.

Soon, they arrived at the nearest resource point with the resources.

They looked at the resource allocation in the group chat.

There were more than ten in total.

Some resource points had almost only basic food and the like, and some had none at all.

For example, the resource point on the island where the Witch Academy had first arrived was now empty.

Some, however, were allocated a large amount of supplies, including but not limited to important strategic materials like potions and alchemical items.

And the locations of these resource points that were allocated a lot of resources were also quite far from the original landing place.

Only now did they realize that the Witch Academy's candidates had actually advanced so far.

The most shocked of all had to be Liffia, because she remembered that she had to verify something before she came out.

This wasn't just a prediction of the occupation of resource points, but also their current situation and… the situation of the other academies.

For example, on the coast of the southeast side facing the Beast Academy, the group of candidates led by Ninglan Qiuyue was firmly suppressing a Beast Academy's candidates.

At this moment, the other party was still riding on driftwood floating on the sea, maintaining a safe distance from the main island, out of reach of spells.

And in this coastal area, there were only three resource points in total, but they had found and occupied all of them.

If this was still a coincidence, then Tan Han's current direction was clearly towards the dormant volcano on the main island's high ground, but they had occupied as many as six resource points along the way!

By the time Liffia and the others arrived and delivered the resources, they were already preparing to set off for the next resource point.

If they still hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem by now, they would be fools.

After they had distributed all the resources, they sat down and began to analyze the situation.

“Well, well, well… Little Han did so much behind our backs, so we're just strolling around here, huh?”

“The duty of a patrol teacher is to stroll around. What's wrong with that?”

Edaline was quite open-minded.

She took out an alchemical item, shaped like the Earth Vein Operating System, and a holographic projection was displayed in front of her.

This was the holographic map of the Bobapus Archipelago that she had spent some time completing.

In fact, she didn't need to run around for this map; it could be generated directly from the existing map.

But it was marked with a lot of data, which could be considered useful information she had gathered from her legwork.

As for what she originally planned to do with this information… it was no longer important, because someone had already completed her vision one step ahead of her.

“At this stage, the Witch Academy's numerical advantage has been split into four forces. Relying on the advantage of being the first to land on the main island, they have suppressed the Beast Academy on one side. Three forces are branching out, with one heading to occupy the core high ground of the main island. These two forces will clash head-on with the guys from the Holy Angel Academy, and if the timing is bad, they might even get into a three-way collision with the Elves.”

“It seems to be true!”

Liffia watched as the resource points lit up on the map.

Just by relying on the resource point occupation status, the situation was indeed like this.

“Little Han is being a bit too reckless… her ideas are a bit naive. Has she really considered other factors? If one is not careful, any one of these forces could be completely wiped out. To be so overt like this, it's not like the other academies won't gather intelligence.”

The teaching assistants of each academy were a hidden source of intelligence.

If it really came to a moment of survival, sacrificing the teaching assistants to save the candidates from a major loss would be completely worth it.

To be so aggressive right from the start, and to fight on multiple fronts, was she really not leaving any room for retreat?

At least be a bit more steady, just like Tan Han's objective, occupying the most advantageous terrain.

So what if the Beast Academy from the southeast was let onto the main island?

Even if the Holy Angel Academy from the northwest wanted to expand over, it would take time.

The further they pushed, the weaker their rear would be.

In the end, all it would take was a little guidance to sit back and watch the Elves and the Holy Angel Academy clash.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

This fire could basically be avoided from burning the Witch Academy's candidates with just a little care.

As Edaline thought this, she unknowingly fell into the trap of making assumptions.

The battlefield of the joint exam was ever-changing.

Any action needed its own framework, and then any factors taken into consideration will require adjustments to that framework, whether they are minor tweaks or large-scale ones.

No one could say for sure; disagreements were inevitable.

After organizing their thoughts, the two decided to go back and have a good discussion first.

Just a while ago, everyone was still strolling around very casually, and now the intensity had been cranked up.

But with such a beginning, no one could say this wasn't a good thing.

When they returned, they didn't find me.

After asking in the group chat, they finally learned that I was on a beach.

At this moment, I was strolling on the beach.

The Bobapus Archipelago created by the Grand Sorcery of the False World Space was already in ruins, but my Spirit Vision saw through this grand sorcery to the bustling scene in the real world—the beach, the sun, the waves, and the lively crowd with vast stretches of spring scenery.

If you were to ask me what I was doing right now, I would say without hesitation that I was scouting the area.

I had almost never been to the seaside before, only seeing it in videos and movies.

Those images attached countless wonderful labels to the beach and the ocean, with every frame striving to make a person yearn for it.

It seemed I had never truly traveled.

The real purpose of travel is to relax oneself, not to be in a framework, following some process of what to do.

If travel also had regulations and processes, what difference was there from spending money to go to work and clock in?

It was just spending money to get annoyed in a place with better scenery, while comforting oneself that this was traveling. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

When a place is developed under the framework of tourism, then the tourism here is gradually dying, and the so-called enjoyment of popular tourist attractions is merely experiencing its last hurrah.

For some reason, walking here alone, my mind would always wander.

I understood what was wrong with me.

I was missing Big Sis Bai.

Suddenly, I felt that this joint exam didn't seem that important to me anymore.

The previous planning and fighting, after gradually losing interest in the matter, seemed rather dull.

“Found you, Little Han. What are you doing here?”

Suddenly, a voice came.

I looked up at the three people coming towards me from a distance, feeling a little surprised.

I didn't expect all of them to be here at once.

“Don't you have your own things to do? Coming all the way here to find me, if there was something, couldn't you just summon me back?”

I asked in confusion.

“That seems to be true… Ah that's not the point, Little Han! You actually did so many things behind our backs without telling us?”

“What did I do? Haven't I been very much a salted fish? I'm here scouting out a spot to sunbathe after this joint exam is over,” I kicked at the somewhat charred fine sand at my feet and asked back as if I knew nothing.

“What a fine mood. I also think this place is nice, a suitable place to relax after the joint exam.”

At this moment, Lin Yi also stepped forward and spoke before Liffia, “Since there's nothing to do now, why don't we analyze the current situation of the joint exam here?”

“I'm fine with whatever,” I waved my hand to show I didn't mind.

Seeing them like this, they probably had a general understanding of the current situation on the main island and wanted to exchange intelligence with me.

Soon, Edaline took out an alchemical item, which directly projected an interactive holographic sandbox map of the Bobapus Archipelago.

Everyone could see many markings on it, as well as temporarily marked manuscript clippings and arrows.

Soon, they finished explaining the general situation to me, and I checked it against the deductions from the Destiny Gazing Technique spellbook in my mind.

It seemed to be about the same.

It seemed that the current progress of the Destiny Gazing Technique was sufficient to support my deductions of the changes in destiny within the Bobapus Archipelago.

Then, next, I might not even need to run around to know what was happening outside.

“The situation is roughly like this. I have to say, our academy's candidates are very proactive. They have spontaneously started to cooperate and carry out a multi-threaded strategic layout. But from the current looks of it, this behavior seems a bit too aggressive. Little Han, what are your thoughts?”

“Hmm… my thoughts are completely consistent with their current decisions…”

I said casually.

And they quickly understood my hint.

“Then Little Han, do you have any general predictions for the upcoming situation?”

“Predictions, huh…”

My voice trailed off for a long time.

I looked at the results of the Destiny Gazing Technique.

From the macroscopic level of destiny, Tan Han could be said to have a smooth journey, but there would eventually be a battle.

On one side, Ninglan Qiuyue had become a force of her own, suppressing multiple streams of destiny, so there was no need to worry much.

The only one I needed to pay attention to was Lucianne's side.

From the perspective of destiny, Lucianne was undoubtedly the suppressed party.

The only variable she currently controlled was starting a forest fire, and even that would only barely weaken the opponent's momentum.

The other variable would most likely come from the Aphrodite Forest Elves' side.

This would depend on Lucianne's own actions… or should I turn the tide?

That would be a bit too arrogant.

To take a step back, I wasn't cut out for command.

So I directly voiced my thoughts, to discuss with them.

During our conversation, they quickly realized a problem.

“Little Han, isn't assuming the opponent's actions so boldly a bit too ill-considered? Won't there be other interference factors?”

Lin Yi asked.

“Hmm… I've thought about it, but I'm quite certain I won't be wrong. If there are any surprises, I will also know immediately.”

After all… the game of destiny doesn't lie.

Just like how before the troops move, the supplies go first.

To know if the enemy wants to fight, just look at whether their supplies have moved.

To know if the candidates from other academies have any plans, just look at whether there is any movement on the level of destiny, and then a rough judgment can be made.

After I finished speaking, the three of them looked at me with great surprise.

It was obvious they were very puzzled by my inexplicable confidence, but also very curious as to what kind of method gave me such conviction.
