Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 562 -

Chapter 562: Meetings and Cooperation Under the Auction

In a reception room at the hotel.

The team leaders who had previously organized all the elves to come to Modu and were responsible for leading the Elf Academy were already seated here.

And the people responsible for receiving them were the executives from the Wan Shi Wu of the Witch Academy.

After some unnecessary pleasantries and formalities, they got straight to the point.

Although this was a reception room, it was considered a formal communication between the students of the Witch Academy and the elves of Aphrodite Academy.

The intelligence they were to exchange was naturally about the desperate criminals currently active all over the world.

In fact, students from the Three Great Top-tier Academies had basically all encountered those guys.

But because of their initial disregard, they ended up suffering setbacks, and some even lost their lives.

Just like the kidnapping incident that happened shortly after the last school break.

It ended with an explosion, the deaths of all ordinary students, and the severe injury of all the high-grade students who took on the mission.

The various Transcendent Academies had expressed serious intentions to hold those responsible accountable!

But in the end, they could barely find any of the culprits' strongholds because the guys were too cunning.

Of course, the main reason was that they did not receive aid from Transcendent Mentors.

Many academies even treated this as a comprehensive ability test for their students.

Many such incidents, big and small, occurred globally, all targeting Transcendent students.

The commotions they created were mainly explosions, and their methods mostly involved bombs.

This caused the academies to misjudge the situation, thinking they were merely ordinary anti-Transcendent terrorist organizations or the like.

It wasn't until the collision between Xia Li of the Witch Academy and these guys, which directly paralyzed a city's infrastructure, that they finally took them seriously, realizing the terrifying potential for destruction that their initially not-too-concerned enemies possessed.

Coupled with the fact that these "desperate criminals," as they called them, had recently begun to target the Children of Destiny, this was something they could not tolerate.

Especially the Witch Academy side; one of their Children of Destiny was even murdered!

Therefore, the Witch Academy had the right to speak.

“Now, we can indeed disclose some information to you to confirm your suspicions.”

“Please proceed. We also believe that information sharing is the premise of our cooperation.”

“First, let's talk about your suspicion. The desperate criminals you mentioned are indeed not from our world.”

Upon receiving confirmation of this news, the elves were not too surprised and calmly continued to ask.

“Can you explain the identity of those guys and how they integrated into our world?”

After all, they had also searched for the identities of those guys.

They could be found in the world's personal information database, and their birth could even be traced back to which hospital.

With such complete information, how could they not be people from their world?

“Consciousness occupation. That is to say, their bodies are people from our world, but their consciousness is not. You should also be familiar with their combat weapons, right? They don't match any Transcendent Academy in our world.”

Of course, if one had to insist... given the nature of the Wizard Academy, their Wizard Tools might be crafted into something similar, but this explanation was too far-fetched.

The Witch Academy took advantage of this auction to invite the Three Great Top-tier Academies, among others.

The Wan Shi Wu's plan was sound.

They wanted to use the optimal information asymmetry they currently possessed to gain the right to define and interpret those players first.

This was a subtle hint: the more they knew about these players, the more advantage and initiative they would have.

Then, using this as an excuse, they would establish an information exchange agreement with the various Transcendent Academies.

This would allow them to use the intelligence they currently had to leverage more Transcendent Academies into sharing intelligence with them.

Controlling intelligence meant controlling more initiative, and they wouldn't have to exhaust their own people.

Anyway, this intelligence would basically be known to other Transcendent Academies after they had contact with those players.

Therefore, the Wan Shi Wu naturally wanted to maximize its value.

Of course, they also had to thank Teacher Xiao Han for her selfless contribution, giving the intelligence to them to gain the first move, all for the mere price of Red Copper.

“Just relying on this speculation? According to the information we've obtained, the individuals your Witch Academy took away were just corpses, not live captures.”

“Yes, but we have other means to corroborate our statement. However... instead of talking dryly here, why don't we cooperate to capture a player alive? Then everything will be clear. How about it?”

“I see. So, you still don't have direct evidence to prove the veracity of your intelligence, do you?”

One of the elves sitting nearby said.

After all, they also suspected that these guys might be invaders from beyond the world, but they needed clear evidence, not the other party's nominal guarantee.

However, the three elves present also caught some keywords: "player."

This term clearly described those desperate criminals.

Although they questioned it verbally, they had to take it seriously.

The other party might genuinely know something.

After all... they had also obtained intelligence that a Teaching Assistant from the Witch Academy had managed to rescue two students from those guys and killed two of the desperate criminals.

Perhaps those two guys did reveal some extraordinary information before they were killed.

However, that Teaching Assistant left too hastily, leaving the two corpses behind.

The Witch Academy went to the scene immediately after hearing the news, but the people from Holy Angel Academy still managed to get there first and take them away.

They were later beaten up and forced to leave one corpse behind.

But these were all speculations, just some basic reference information for judging the veracity of the other party's intelligence during this "exchange."

They were very interested in the concept of "player" and... the plan proposed by the Witch to "capture a player alive."

...

The elves who remained at the exhibition had also integrated into the current state.

According to their needs, they wandered through the exhibition area accompanied by receptionists, while also learning about the items for the upcoming auction.

Some went directly to enjoy the hotel's services to eliminate the fatigue from their journey.

Others, full of energy, leveraged their advantages to move among the crowd, having shallow conversations with those who were trying to curry favor with them about recent interesting events.

This exhibition was originally a platform for broadening one's social circle.

At this auction, one could admire a person's vision, understand a person's cultural background, probe a person's aesthetic preferences, see a person's wealth, and... the social connections they had established.

There was nothing better than interacting with those people here.

Perhaps the person you were chatting and laughing with right now would be a talent from another Transcendent Academy?

So here, when facing fellow Transcendent students, they would greet them with a smile.

Even if they were newcomers, their presence here meant they had the potential to be recognized.

Only those ordinary wealthy people, or nobles who lived in their own circles, were regarded by them as mere opportunists.

The only things worth seeing in them were a glib tongue and pleasing looks.

In their opinion, these people would never be qualified to touch the truth of this world, at most, they were just playthings.

They were Transcendent, but they also had primitive bodily desires.

This was inevitable, but such matters were not to be discussed openly.

In the most conspicuous area of the entire exhibition, it would always unintentionally attract countless passersby to stop.

“Is this the highlight of the auction? Hehe It's truly beautiful.”

The Heart of Cold Tide, as translucent as an ice crystal, emitted bursts of cold air.

Its intrinsic nature was a rare and precious jewel.

After all, girls simply could not resist such shiny objects.

However, only those who truly recognized the Heart of Cold Tide understood its true value!

“Beibei, where were you taken? You've toured most of the exhibition area, and I haven't seen a trace of you. I thought you were abducted by the Witch Academy guys.”

“That shouldn't be the case. I've been with her the whole time,” another elf girl accompanying Yao Beijuan said with a smile.

“I went with Beibei to have some breakfast. After all, Beibei didn't have an appetite this morning and didn't eat anything on the way. Maybe she was a bit uncomfortable right after getting off the car.”

“Ah? They are still serving breakfast at this hour?”

“Of course. Breakfast and lunch here are seamlessly connected in the dining area. Do you want to go eat some?”

“No thanks, I had a little something to tide me over this morning. I plan to go explore the dishes at lunchtime to see if they are different from when I came last year.”

“Did you come here last year, Senior?”

Yao Beijuan asked.

If it weren't for a senior sister saying she would take her to an auction to broaden her horizons this time, she wouldn't have known about this place.

Perhaps this was the circle of the Transcendent.

She heard that it gathered talents from various Transcendent Academies, and even the ordinary people here were rare wealthy nobles outside.

Therefore, this place was very suitable for a newcomer like her to build her social network.

Even a slight acquaintance would be beneficial to her.

After all, having people she knew would make it easier to ask for favors in the future.

The Transcendent world was not only about fighting and killing; it also involved the ways of the world and human relations.

“Of course. I'm telling you, Beibei, the Witch side has a lot of good stuff. Although I don't want to admit it... but the Witch Academy... hehe, I won't say more.”

“But the Witch Academy isn't the most top-tier academy... why do we have to go through so much trouble to participate in an auction hosted by one of their clubs?”

Yao Beijuan still asked, puzzled.

“There's a lot to talk about here. Oh dear You'll probably figure this kind of thing out yourself later.”

This elf clearly didn't want to dwell on this question too much and immediately changed the subject.

“By the way, I just heard about something big that happened at this hotel last night from those guys. Are you interested?”

“What happened last night... Oh, is it about the fight between the two Teaching Assistants from the Witch Academy?”

“You know about it?”

“Hmm, when we went up for breakfast, we shared a table with a handsome guy. We didn't refuse, and he chatted with us about it,” the senior girl next to Yao Beijuan explained.

“It sounds really interesting. It's a shame we didn't see it. We should have come last night. We missed a good show.”

The girl said with a sigh.

“By the way, I heard that one of the Witches in the fight is named Yang Yuehan. That name... Tsk tsk Beibei, it clashes with your ex-boyfriend's name.”

“Don't mention that guy. Beibei was clearly about to forget him. Why bring him up? Besides, isn't she a Witch now? You should change it to ex-girlfriend.”

“My apologies... I won't mention it then.”

“It's nothing, Senior. I got over it a long time ago. I'm young now, how could I be trapped in a relationship?”

Yao Beijuan said, waving her hand, appearing indifferent.

“It's good that you got over it. I don't think that guy was anything great anyway. If he hadn't been your deskmate back then, how would he have had any friends? Now he enters the Witch Academy without a word. I think that guy most likely has psychological problems.”

“Yes, and I wonder if that guy will be invited to this auction. She should be, given her strength, right? If we do run into her, our sisters will back you up and we can target that scumbag together.”

“Correction, she's a scumbag girl now.”

“True. I heard Witches are infertile, which suits her well, saving others from her trouble.”

“Don't let the Witch Academy people hear that, or they might get emotional and beat you up.”

“It's just the truth.”

The girl smiled casually, not caring.

She then turned her smiling face to reveal some anticipation.

“By the way, do you two have anything else to do? I just met a very interesting man here, and I'm going to go meet him again.”

“Alright, then we won't bother you. Beibei and I will go look around elsewhere.”

After the two finished speaking, they each went to do their own things.

Not long after the elves from Aphrodite Academy arrived, another group of people arrived, wearing dark-toned Wizard Robes, directly highlighting the characteristics of the Wizards.

It could be said that this auction was one of the most luxurious lineups yet.

But the other meeting, hidden beneath the veneer of this auction, was one of the important purposes of this visit.

As the number of people here increased, the preview became livelier.

And at this moment, I, who was reading in the book corridor, remained completely undisturbed.

I only occasionally saw many people passing through the book corridor.

Some were like me, reading to pass the time, while others chose this less crowded area to seek excitement and engage in deeper communication.

But these things did not affect me at all.

I was still gradually understanding the research related to the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell, trying it out from time to time, attempting to personally replicate the results presented in those data.

But so far, I still haven't been able to realize a previous idea of mine, but I am gradually seeing hope in the process of continuous understanding.

The Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell is indeed a key for the Fool's Dream Clan to achieve true life.

Precisely because of this, when I conduct research for the Fool's Dream, the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell is always full of coincidences and revelations, bringing me surprises unintentionally.

I read very seriously this time.

The passage of time seemed irrelevant to me until night fell and the sun rose again...

A new day had begun just like that.

And Jiao Xiaoshuang, who had been by my side the whole time, was truly numb this time.

When I previously said I might read for a day and a night, she thought I might be joking, but she didn't expect it to be true!

I was like a statue reading a book, with no extra movements and not even turning a page.

She was somewhat curious about what kind of magic that book possessed that allowed me to continue reading it like that.

And... if she remembered correctly, wasn't that the weapon I used to beat Lilianna?
