Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 521 -

Chapter 521: Falling into the Deep Dream State

At this moment, my mind was replaying the information about the Interpretation of Life that the Academy Head had told me before.

The Truth Witch who pioneered the Great Project of Soul Life Essence was the one who delved deep into the Dream State, mastered the Authority of the Dream State, and completely proved the relationship between Soul and the Dream State.

The reason why Dream State creatures are not recognized by the Void's concept of "life" is likely due to the barrier between the Dream State and reality, and the Soul seems to serve as this bridge.

The moment the Great Tree of Knowledge was completed, the essence of the Grand Spellbook attracted the effect of the fellow Grand Spellbook, the Tree of Wisdom's Enlightenment, presenting itself as a reflection on the other side of the Great Tree of Knowledge.

Therefore, what separated the Sea of Consciousness and the Sea of Dreams was never the "mirror" effect formed by Void energy; it was only a means of presentation.

Even if I looked through this mirror, I couldn't reach the other side of the Tree of Wisdom's Enlightenment.

However… when the Tree of Wisdom's Enlightenment surfaced, the Shadow of Knowledge appeared there.

“Try to enter the Dream State, within the Sea of Consciousness.”

The words of the Shadow of Knowledge came, as if illuminating my mind.

But I had never tried how to enter the Dream State in this manner.

“Truly an idiot. Meditation.”

Right, Meditation… The Witch Meditation Method utilizes the Primal Dream State.

Because of this, it is easy to seamlessly transition into deep sleep during Meditation if one doesn't exert effort to keep the consciousness clear.

Meditation itself is a method of mental strengthening that hovers on the edge of the Primal Dream State.

But it could also be used for more than just that.

At this moment, I "closed my eyes" within the Sea of Consciousness.

I seemed to lose consciousness, my body sinking into the sea.

External sounds seemed to be separated by a barrier.

Not only sound, but the Five Senses were gradually being lost, then reconstructed.

Everything about me was being reshaped.

My consciousness seemed to have "reborn" in a new world, having switched to a new vessel.

When I desperately tried to open my eyes, my whole body felt like it was drifting in a void with no support, completely different from the already ordered Sea of Consciousness.

It wasn't until I seemed to bump into something that my attention was drawn to it.

It was a tree… an existence completely different from the Great Tree of Knowledge.

“Is this the Tree of Wisdom's Enlightenment?”

I murmured.

In this chaotic Dream State, because it was within the Dream State, anything could suddenly appear and abruptly vanish.

Absurd things occurred little by little, piecing together my memories into bizarre scenes.

It seemed only the Tree of Wisdom's Enlightenment was the sole order here.

It stood erect, its roots continuously spreading, and its branches stretching outward.

In this Dream State, which I had been completely unaware of, the Tree of Wisdom's Enlightenment had already grown to a degree that shocked me.

But at this moment, it was only a spell effect.

I seemed to have never truly understood the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell.

At this moment, a thought surfaced in my consciousness.

Or rather, it was something I had always wanted to do but lacked the confidence to attempt… integrating the two Grand Spellbooks into one!

However… I couldn't do that yet.

I didn't understand the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell well enough.

A complete Grand Spellbook, even in terms of its spell effect development, was not as capable as the nascent Great Tree of Knowledge.

This was clearly not right.

But now, the thing I needed to do was to touch upon what I had never dared to approach: the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell.

This was an excellent opportunity for me to test the effect of this Grand Spellbook.

I had never actively sought to understand it, passively assuming that casting the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell would bring me an increase in intelligence, reaction speed, and so on.

But I realized that it didn't seem to be the case…

All of that was just an attached effect.

The effect of this spell was certainly more than that.

I just hadn't truly mastered it.

I needed to actively grasp it.

My current situation was like a primitive person with no knowledge of spells gaining possession of a Fireball Spellbook.

After casting Fireball, I would only passively use it for warmth and to light up a small area, never utilizing its aggressive nature, never using it to hunt animals to satisfy my hunger.

Every spell has its field of application.

Using it in the wrong place will only lead to deeper complications.

The predecessor [Transcendent Knowledge] of the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell originated from the Fool's Dreams, who were still Dream State creatures.

Therefore, its effect must be related to the so-called Dream State and Life.

Even… thinking deeper, I shouldn't be influenced by the name the Academy Head gave it, "Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell."

Perhaps that was just its superficial appearance.

The concept of "Wisdom" was too broad, too broad to be described by any specific concept.

How could it be solely controlled by a single spell?

It should have a scope of application, for example… the Fool's Dreams.

What are Fool's Dreams?

Dream State creatures.

What is the Dream State related to that I have encountered so far?

Soul.

So, this spell should be an existence somehow related to the Great Project of Soul.

Although this was just my intuition and speculation, I now had the qualification to test it.

…

“Big Sis Xiao Han, Big Sis Xiao Han!”

In the outside world, Fool's Blue and the others watched me close my eyes and fail to respond to them for a long time.

Even though they were anxious, they could only choose to trust their Big Sis Xiao Han.

However… they watched the figure in front of them fall into sleep and then collapse straight onto the ground.

Only then did they truly realize that something was wrong!

They wanted to go forward and help her up, but the huge disparity in body size made it very difficult for them.

Until the body completely slumped down, Fool's Blue could no longer hold on and was also pressed down.

“Big Sis Xiao Han! Are you okay? Wake up!”

“What should we do? What happened to Big Sis Xiao Han? Why did she suddenly faint?”

This sudden abnormality immediately left the three Fool's Dreams at a loss for what to do.

It was deep in the night!

The other Fool's Dreams had also left early, and only a few of them remained in the villa.

“Quick, send Big Sis Xiao Han to the Infirmary…”

Fool's Blue crawled out from under the body and said.

“But we can't move Big Sis Xiao Han…”

“How about we call for help?”

“But who can we call at this hour?”

In an instant, the three Fool's Dreams were in a state of panic until Fool's Blue suddenly thought of something.

“How about… we go call Big Sis Dana? Didn't Big Sis Dana say we could ask her for help if we encountered a problem? Big Sis Dana is Little Han's friend; she will definitely save Big Sis Xiao Han!”

“Right! Let's go find Big Sis Dana!”

After all, the Fool's Dreams originally worked in the Witch Cat Cafe.

They naturally knew the Store Manager behind the Witch Cat Cafe, and she cared for the Fool's Dreams greatly, even giving them her contact information.

Not long after, a figure rushed to the location somewhat hastily.

Because she was in such a rush, and the Fool's Dreams couldn't provide an accurate spatial coordinate, Dana could only tear space and arrive near the location before finding the place. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

“It's alright, it's alright. Take your time and tell me what happened? Why did you use such an emergency contact method all of a sudden? Did someone bully you?”

Dana rushed forward to comfort them when she saw Fool's Blue and the others.

“Big Sis Dana, it's Big Sis Xiao Han! Something happened to Big Sis Xiao Han!”

Fool's Blue struggled out of Dana's embrace and said quickly.

“Ah? Little Han?”

Dana was visibly stunned.

How was this related to Little Han?

Did someone in the Witch Academy dare to bully Little Han?

However, she still quickly followed the Fool's Dreams into the villa.

“This basement below—did Little Han convert it into her laboratory?”

Dana commented with a sigh, looking at the layout and decoration below.

“Mhm! Big Sis Xiao Han is right ahead. She fainted, and we can't wake her up no matter how much we call her.”

Fool's Blue said anxiously.

“Little Han fainted?”

Dana frowned slightly.

She couldn't have gotten herself into trouble by doing some strange experiment, could she?

But she was also somewhat powerless about this.

At the thought of this, the cat ears on her head twitched irritably, but no matter what, she had to go check the situation first.

“She really fainted?”

After entering, Dana quickly went forward and helped Little Han up.

After sensing the situation, she also frowned.

Because she couldn't find the reason why Little Han was unconscious.

There were no spell effects, no Spell Backlash, and no curse.

Her body was also perfectly fine, without any injuries, and she hadn't consumed any strange drugs.

“Do you remember what Little Han was doing before she fainted?”

Dana looked at the Fool's Dreams next to her and asked.

“Big Sis Xiao Han seemed to have encountered some difficulty, and we couldn't help. Then, after Big Sis Xiao Han closed her eyes… she didn't move anymore and just collapsed directly…”

“Big Sis Xiao Han must be too disappointed in us. Did we make Big Sis Xiao Han angry?”

“Huh? She just fell straight down like that?”

Dana was somewhat helpless upon learning the situation.

Looking at Little Han, whom she was holding, breathing evenly, it really seemed as if she was asleep.

“Never mind, I'll send her to the Infirmary.”

Dana knew nothing about this and decided to let the professional Witches handle the professional aspects.

Dana picked up Little Han, and a Teleportation Channel tore open in front of her.

“Big Sis Dana, can we follow too? We are very worried about Big Sis Xiao Han!”

“Fine, follow along.”

Dana indicated it was no problem and stepped into the Teleportation Channel with them.

The next moment, she arrived at the Infirmary, immediately followed by three more figures, which were the three Fool's Dreams.

The Fool's Dreams, who had never been here, were naturally a bit wary of the unfamiliar place.

After arriving, they closely followed behind Dana.

After settling Little Han, Dana learned some information from the Witch in the Infirmary: Little Han was currently… in deep sleep.

“No, are you sure? Deep sleep? Are you sure she didn't faint?”

Dana asked, still unconvinced.

“She fell straight down like a log. Are you telling me she's sleeping?”

“Don't question my professionalism. We wouldn't mistake sleep for unconsciousness. She'll naturally wake up after getting enough rest. However, this is one of the deepest sleeps I've ever seen. Can you ask her what kind of Sleeping Spell she used on herself?”

Dana, having received this answer, rubbed her forehead, feeling helpless.

She then informed the eagerly watching Fool's Dreams of this news, which finally put them somewhat at ease.

“Tsk I can't possibly guard her all night, can I? I remember Little Han said she had a girlfriend…”

Dana searched for a long time but couldn't find Little Han's phone.

She couldn't violently open her Storage Equipment either, so she had no contact information…

“Alright, alright… I'm unlucky. It seems I can't… Sigh.”

Although Dana complained, her body was honest, staying here with the Fool's Dreams to wait.

She picked up one of the Fool's Dreams.

Fortunately, she had cute Cat Girls to keep her company now.

She then prepared to ask the Fool's Dreams for more detailed information.

After some inquiry, Dana gradually uncovered some things.

“You said Little Han is currently researching the Seed of Knowledge? Why does that sound so familiar?”

Dana picked up her phone and scrolled through some of her gossip group chats, and finally seemed to discover something.

“Wait, Seed of Knowledge, Seed of Great Knowledge!”

Dana suddenly realized.

She seemed to have seen this thing in some of the gossip group chats she had joined on her phone.

She heard it was a good thing circulating from Academy Head Mei and that it was quite interesting.

She seemed to have discovered something significant!

“Fool's Blue Tell me, is this the thing you and Little Han were researching?”

Dana held Fool's Blue and showed her the picture of the Seed of Great Knowledge she had found on her phone.

“Mhm mhm! That's it. Big Sis Xiao Han was researching this thing so we could use it, and then she became like this…”

“It really is?!”

Dana's heart skipped a beat, still somewhat unable to believe it.

After all, Little Han… she was just a student, no, a Teaching Assistant now, but what right did such a Little Han have to research a Grand Spellbook?

Even if the Academy Head thought highly of her and gave her a Grand Spellbook, still…

Dana sorted through the matter and counted: this incident involved a Grand Spellbook, Little Han, the Academy Head, and the Seed of Great Knowledge… things were getting complicated.

“How about… I ask Mei?”

Dana muttered to herself, then fell into deep thought.

Academy Head Mei was busy now, leaving only an Avatar in the academy, but… that was no ordinary spell Avatar; it should be okay.

Deciding to act immediately, Dana opened her contact list and found Academy Head Mei's number.

She had been roped into labor by Mei Linde not long ago.

Even though she had said she wouldn't actively seek her out, now she had no choice but to call her… what a disaster.

“Hello, Big Sis Mei May I ask if you're busy now?”

“Hmm? Dana? Calling at this hour? Didn't you say you wouldn't contact me again? Why are you suddenly looking for me? Is something wrong?”

Academy Head Mei's voice came from the other end of the phone.

“There is something. I wanted to ask about the so-called Seed of Great Knowledge…”

“I don't have any left. You're too late to ask.”

Academy Head Mei immediately said.

“I'm not asking for that. I'm asking, is it… related to Little Han?”

“It is related. Did you ask Little Han?”

“Little Han is currently here in the Infirmary. According to the Fool's Dreams around her, she seems to have fallen into a deep coma while researching that Seed. Although the Infirmary staff says it's deep sleep, even if…”

“What? What happened to Little Han? Speak clearly… Which Infirmary are you in?! I'm coming right away!”

Before Dana could finish speaking, an anxious voice came from the other end, and before Dana could say anything, the phone signal seemed to have cut out.

“Huh? No, what in the world is going on?”

Dana stared blankly at her phone, confirming that the other party had not responded, and could only hang up voluntarily.

But… she truly didn't understand what was happening.

Because Little Han… her one phone call had summoned the Academy Head directly!

Normally, whether the other party would even answer her call was a question.

Just as Dana was puzzled, she suddenly felt a palpitation, and a huge crisis emerged from beside her.

This abnormality immediately sounded an alarm.

The instinctual perception of danger made her subconsciously try to grab Little Han and the Fool's Dreams and run.

But when she picked up the Fool's Dreams and prepared to pick up Little Han, she discovered that the source of the danger… seemed to be coming from Little Han!

To her astonishment, she felt a terrifying aura surfacing above Little Han, and the piercing sound of space tearing made her instinctively get goosebumps.

“My Primal Witch Lord Lilith … A Void, a Void Crack? How can it be a Void Crack?!”
