Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?-Chapter 544 -

Chapter 544: The Dead Hold No Secrets

Since Teacher Lina had arrived, I took the opportunity to leave the Infirmary.

Teacher Lina looked like she wanted to say something to me, but ultimately, she didn't stop me.

After leaving.

I immediately used the Teleportation Spell to return to the ruins I had marked earlier.

Because I hadn't witnessed what exactly happened here firsthand, I planned to spend some time restoring the disturbed Earth Vein Information.

However, this wouldn't take too long.

The blast radius was extensive, but organizing the Earth Vein Information at some specific nodes and restoring some scenes was enough.

Then, I could pass a copy of this to the Academy Head and the others, which would count as contributing to the refinement of the Destiny Gazing Technique.

After all, this was a clash between the pre-determined important resource in the Script—[Transcendent Knowledge]—the Child of Destiny, and the Players who could forcibly manipulate Destiny.

It had a high value for information gathering.

And while I was busy, this ruin—no, disaster area—was already filled with the sounds of rescue: ordinary people, spontaneous Transcendent helpers, and so on.

They were resisting the potential threat posed by powerhouses, and even risking the possibility that the creators of the disaster hadn't left, to rescue every person who might have survived here.

I walked through the ruins, piecing together the scenes that had occurred here earlier, occasionally going forward to rescue those who still had a breath.

But in the center of this explosion, the survivors were too few.

More often, the victims were just unrecognizable mosaics due to the shockwave's impact.

I even encountered people who were on the verge of death and beyond the help of my Flesh and Blood Healing Spell.

At this moment, I clearly felt how easily a person's life could vanish.

The Soul-substance diffused, flowed into the earth, and returned to the cycle...

And now, when I used the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell again, I finally confirmed one thing.

Throughout this journey, I relied on the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell to acquire fragmented Earth Vein Information, attempting to restore the local scenes from that time.

However, after the collection was complete, it was mixed with other fragments of information that far exceeded my expectation.

Some information fragments were quite complete, but they had absolutely no relation to what I needed.

Now I understood… when a person died, their Soul-substance returned to the Earth Vein, and their memories, in the form of information, flowed into the earth.

The information I collected, which I called "interference information," actually originated from the memories of those who died.

This meant that… when a person died, the concept of the individual dissipated, and the information was publicly exposed.

That person held no secrets anymore.

This was a truly important discovery.

It meant that the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell had taken a big step forward in "prying into" personal privacy.

Moreover… I still had the Resurrection Spell...

When a person died, it meant that they had no secrets anymore, even if they were resurrected by the Resurrection Spell.

Thinking of this, I attempted to use the Resurrection Spell to resurrect a deceased person to obtain some test information.

My previous understanding of the Resurrection Spell was entirely based on my own foundation.

But the Resurrection Spell at this moment was targeting this world, this Earth Vein.

It was competing with the Earth Vein for the diffused Soul-substance and reshaping it.

The Resurrection Spell I mastered meant the reshaping of both the Soul-substance and the physical body.

But the essence of my life was the Soul.

No wonder I felt it was "so simple" when I tried it before, because the effect of the Resurrection Spell at that time was only the reshaping of the body.

As Magic Power was consumed, the Resurrection Spell had gradually reshaped the figure in front of me to a distinguishable human form, but I ultimately stopped without continuing.

Rescuing a dead person for no reason held no meaning.

My ability was limited, and this was not how I should be looking for trouble for myself.

Could the person who was resurrected accept the current situation?

Could they accept the passing of their loved ones?

This was not saving someone but pulling the deceased back to reality to experience the cruelty of reality again.

The moment I understood this point, I immediately stopped.

I suddenly understood the perspective of Transcendent Witches looking down on ordinary people as a higher level of life.

It was clearly an easy task to save a life, but ultimately, they chose not to save them.

If this were to spread online, I would probably be accused by a crowd of people.

But what was the meaning of that to a Transcendent being?

I spent several hours walking all over the place, striving to collect and perfect the information I needed, including those memories.

They could help me better understand the differences of the Main World from various angles.

And I also personally rescued many people.

This was the most gratitude and pleas I had heard in my two lives.

Perhaps only at this time were a person’s exposed emotions and feelings at their most genuine, whether beautiful or ugly.

Of course, this disaster area needed more than just rescue.

It also needed the removal of obstacles and the clearing of roads.

The arrival of ambulances required a clear path.

This rescue operation would probably last for several days, but I wouldn't delay too much time here.

The initial purpose of my coming here for this disaster was to collect on-site information, followed by feeling the fragility of life, and finally, witnessing the glory of life.

I was like a cold, detached observer.

Once my initial purpose was fulfilled, I would put away all my pity and leave this place.

In a deserted corner, I looked at the pieced-together images that showed the situation at the time.

From the Shop Manager being discovered and chased by the Players, to the sneak attack on the Players by a group of students who had left the campus, during which I also witnessed the instigation of the brain-dead Birdman, and finally the eruption of the entire disaster.

The entire incident seemed quite dramatic, so I thought the Academy Head and the others would definitely enjoy it.

So, I sent all this collected information and scenes, along with the data I observed on-site using the Destiny Gazing Technique, to the Academy Head and the others through the Great Tree of Knowledge.

This information transmission made me realize the difficulty of information transmission between the Great Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Knowledge.

Because this was a one-way information transmission, with all information converging into my Great Tree of Knowledge.

What needed attention was that the Tree of Knowledge generated by the Seed of Great Knowledge was passively sharing information with my Great Tree of Knowledge.

This relationship was somewhat like a "tribute."

However, knowledge and information were "resources" that could be spread and replicated, so this relationship was one-sided sharing and did not exploit the lower-level relationship.

But if I, as the upper level, wanted to transmit information out, it was somewhat difficult.

The most mainstream channel currently was the Earth Vein Information Appraisal Spell.

Every time another person's Tree of Knowledge performed an Appraisal, the compiled information primarily targeted the database within the Tree of Knowledge as the first source.

Only if the information was incomplete would it request "access permission" from my Great Tree of Knowledge's information pool to further complete the Appraisal information.

This was a form of information interaction that I had refined into a complete system.

If one wanted to isolate it for dedicated real-time information transmission, it would be somewhat difficult.

Although it seemed that all these techniques were quite similar, to use them this way would still require someone to specialize in doing so.

It hadn't been long since the Great Tree of Knowledge was born.

Not all inspirations are born and perfected with a single thought.

However, this idea I had now had another solution: connecting it to the Academy Network system could perfectly solve this problem!

But the Academy Network was ultimately an external input.

If possible, I also wanted to conquer the technical challenge of the Great Tree of Knowledge and achieve purely Spell-based information intercommunication.

Back at Witch Academy.

After briefly exchanging thoughts about the harvest of this trip with the Academy Head, I returned to my villa for the remaining time.

Although I had said that I would temporarily stop researching the Great Tree of Knowledge and had other things to do, and this information had probably spread, this did not mean I wouldn't come back to check on the progress when I was free.

“Little Han Didn’t I just receive your message saying you were going to rest? Why are you back so soon?”

Many Witches were surprised to see my figure appear here.

“Well It’s because I couldn’t stop thinking about all you sisters, so I took some time to come back and check. Although I didn’t leave for long, quite a bit has happened outside. Do you want me to tell you about it?”

I immediately responded to their curiosity.

They had been staying here all along and didn't know much about the outside situation.

But hearing that I was going to share the shocking news I had witnessed outside, many Witches put down what they were doing and gathered around.

However, some Witches who had access to information already knew some things.

After all, this incident had happened several hours ago, and even Teacher Lina had heard about it and urgently went to the Infirmary.

It wasn't hard for this matter to spread in Witch Academy.

But they were more curious about the specific details, and I narrated it to them by combining both audio and visual descriptions.

When I finished speaking, many Witches immediately started discussing and expressing their opinions, and some wanted to know about the follow-up situation.

“Little Han, Little Han, are there any more details? What happened next?”

“Hmm… no more. But I will continue to follow up. Don't worry. Just consider this my vacation. I will transmit all the information back through the Great Tree of Knowledge as soon as there is news.”

“Great! Thank you for your hard work, Little Han Are you going to transform into a War Correspondent for the Script? By the way, can you start a live broadcast? Hey, hey Big Gamer, you've already set up a game platform on this. Can a live broadcast platform be set up on the Great Tree of Knowledge?”

“Live broadcast platform? Maybe… that’s not a bad idea?”

“By the way, did you forget that the Great Tree of Knowledge is already connected to the Academy Network? The Academy Network can already do what you are asking for, alright?”

The few Witches responsible for the Academy Network interface spoke up at this moment.

“You don't understand! The Academy Network has been perfected so much by you that there is almost no room left for development, but the Great Tree of Knowledge is an undeveloped blue ocean!”

“Isn't that just a superfluous action?”

“But you can't deny that the Academy Network is ultimately an external thing to the Great Tree of Knowledge. Anyway, I'm free, and I’m willing.”

“Then, suit yourself. Don't use the ecosystem built by the interoperability of the Tree of Knowledge and the Academy Network later. When we phase out mobile phones and switch entirely to the Tree of Knowledge, don't come begging me with your phone in hand.”

“I’m sorry! Big Sis Qiong, I was wrong!”

Watching them so lively, from bickering to begging for forgiveness, made me happy.

Afterward, I also found the Witch Sister who suggested developing a live broadcast platform.

Her idea perfectly coincided with mine.

After an exchange of opinions, I left satisfied.

It seemed the possibility of my idea becoming a reality was quite high.

Don't be fooled by her somewhat clumsy appearance during the bickering.

She genuinely had the capability.

However, the gossiping Witches still hadn't stopped.

They even started analyzing the Players' behavioral philosophy by comparing it with the scenes I provided.

“Hey, hey I still think those Players have some problems.”

“What kind of problems could they have?”

“Look at this scene. Their fear of Little Han is a bit abnormal, far exceeding the threat Little Han herself poses.”

“I think so too. Look at the question they asked twice, whether she was a person of this world. The sense of detachment is very strong. It feels like the question was sent by the Game Architects behind them.”

“Do you think there's a possibility that they learned about the concept of a Witch from somewhere, and they are actually afraid of the Witch Race, not Little Han herself…”

“That seems plausible. Repeatedly confirming if Little Han is a person of this world means confirming that she is not the Witch they know.”

“That makes sense! I asked Academy Head Bev Ailana about it. That Small World was also invaded, and then they ran away for an unknown reason. Could it be that Little Han scared them away? Hahaha!”

“Then, according to your theory, aren't they going to do even more outrageous things to the Main World? Since their concerns are gone, won't they hold a grudge and seek revenge? I'm excited, I'm excited…”

Their gossip wasn't deliberately subdued, so many Witches joined in to express their opinions.

I also listened with great interest.

I have to say, quite a few of their ideas were genuinely possible, things I hadn't thought of.

I even thought their analysis was quite good and logical.

The only difficulty with the possibility they were discussing was how that world learned the concept that "Witches are terrifying."

I also didn't believe that the power I displayed was enough to scare them away and directly make them abandon a world.

Moreover, my single appearance was insufficient to command such respect from those vanguard explorers.

But I just treated it as a joke.

If I truly believed it, I would be a little fool.

They were just gossiping to add some fun to their boring lives.

Whether it was true or not didn't matter much to them.

Furthermore, the topics they discussed later became even more ridiculous, so I stopped listening.

Leaving the gossiping group, I went to the top-floor terrace to rest and relax my mind.

After all, I had just witnessed the tragedy of so many people not long ago.

Honestly, I couldn't empathize with the current atmosphere of the Witches' cheerful gossip.

Those scenes had caused a considerable impact on my mind.

And the best way to calm these emotions was to divert my attention and find something to do for myself.

I chose… studying!

The books and content already recorded in the Great Tree of Knowledge naturally couldn't just be left there to gather dust.

Only by flexibly utilizing them could they truly belong to me.

And to learn and apply this knowledge flexibly, I naturally needed a target as an Anchor.

At this moment, I thought of the Spellbook that Bev Ailana had given me.

I heard it was a Spellbook that even the Academy Head struggled to handle.

Naturally, I had to witness its wonder for myself.

As I activated the Spellbook, I first observed its interior.

There was no introduction of the Spell information left, not even the most basic Spell name.

It seemed this Spell was indeed somewhat mysterious.

As the Spellbook was activated, I only felt a slight drop in temperature on my palm, but that was all.

Then, a substance resembling an ice crystal scattered onto my palm.

I picked it up, but I didn't feel the coldness of ice.

I had been exposed to that absolute zero too much, so I subconsciously associated it with ice, but it wasn't ice.

With the information feedback from the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell, I quickly learned what it was.

It was some… crystals, material crystals.

And these crystals were not Spell effects but real matter.

So… the Spell effect of this Spell was the act of "Crystallization."

“Interesting. Then, let's temporarily call it the Crystallization Spell for now. It feels… not very special, though? Could Academy Head Bev have tricked me…”
