Chapter 145: Let's Experience What It's Like to Shatter a Fireball from a First-Person Perspective
By the ti Big Sis Bai and I left the testing ground, it was already evening.
Originally, I said I wanted to research spells, but it ended up becoming spell training at the testing ground.
At first, I tested the usage and limitations of the two spells, and also tried the spells from the two bracers.
Aside from a slight feeling of unaccustodness from the surging physical stats, everything else was fine.
For the rest of the afternoon, Big Sis Bai was teaching so basic combat skills; after all, I was seriously lacking in these practical skills.
And I was even more lacking in my understanding of the two newly acquired spells.
So, midway through, I shalessly contacted Teacher Ji Niang on my phone, asking for help in collecting so related materials and papers.
Although I might not have enough ti to complete any useful modifications before the Newcor Competition, it's not like I'm lacking this one thod.
My spells weren't prepared specifically for the Newcor Competition, nor would they be discarded after use.
In other words, my research on the spellbook is the norm, while the competition is the exception.
So after getting Ji Niang's reply, I was very much looking forward to seeing Teacher Ji Niang tomorrow.
After all, whether it was the Spirit Cat Summoning Spell or the Illusory Clone, both felt very awkward for to use, with a sense of fixed patterns like in a video ga.
I didn't like the feeling of formulating my combat strategies around the spells; I much preferred the feeling of using spells as I wished, according to my own strategies.
Others can't compromise because they can't do it.
Since I can, why should I wrong myself?
So after bidding farewell to Big Sis Bai, I also rode my broom back.
For the next two days, I planned to live a more regular life, build up my energy, and face the competition.
Even though this event was an accident for , I wanted to give it a perfect beginning and end.
I returned to the dorm.
I then saw them slacking off in the living room early on...
Oh no, not exactly slacking off.
At this mont, they had the TV on in the living room, but they were writing sothing.
“Hmm? What are you guys doing?”
I looked at their actions, puzzled.
Were they copying notes?
I'd never seen them work so hard before...
But co to think of it, although each of them looked quite unreliable, it was a fact that they were good students.
“Borrowing notes to reference, huh? Big Sis Xiao Han!”
Hong Chenyi jumped up directly from the floor, abandoning the notebook in her hand.
“Stop, what are you so excited for?”
I imdiately put out a hand to stop this person from coming over to take advantage of .
“Huh? Don't you know, Big Sis Xiao Han?”
“Know what? At a critical juncture like this, what else could happen that's related to ?”
The only thing I could think of was probably sothing about the recent ranking predictions.
After all, I had just been tested today, but if it really was because of this, then their speed was a bit too fast.
“Big Sis Xiao Han, your power ranking has risen, it's like rising on a rocket…”
Before Hong Chenyi could finish her sentence, I clamped my hand over her mouth.
Was it really because of this?
As expected, this Hong Chenyi was still too excited about everything.
“Oh, if it's about the ranking, let's not talk about it. It's just a prediction, what's there to care about.”
“No, I an you're so cool, Big Sis Xiao Han!”
Hong Chenyi broke free from my hand and couldn't help but say.
Then she stood straight like soone with chuunibyou, charged up her right hand, stretched it forward, and as if there was sothing in her hand, slowly crushed, clenched, and then pulled it out.
I watched Hong Chenyi from the side with a gaze as if caring for a ntally challenged child.
I felt that this gesture looked sowhat familiar?
“Crushing a Fireball with your bare hands! Big Sis Xiao Han! You're a god!”
“Huh?”
At this mont, even if my brain was slow to turn, I could figure out what was going on.
No, was the other party's intelligence gathering description so clear, or did they have a high-definition cara on them?
My gaze turned to the other roommates in the living room.
They had also put down their work and stood up, but with a show-off like Hong Chenyi around, they seed much more awkward.
“Big Sis Xiao Han, a video circulated on the academy network today that directly pushed your power prediction ranking into the top ten.”
At this mont, Guan Qiuling, who was at the side, began to explain to in a low voice.
Dongli Yiren beside her didn't speak, but her expression also confird this aning.
“Video? Where? Let see.”
Hearing the word video, I realized.
The place I went to earlier didn't have any surveillance at all.
If there was a video, it must have been deliberately brought by the other party.
“Here, here! I saved it on purpose!”
Hong Chenyi, who was closest to , enthusiastically handed over her phone.
“This is it! First-person perspective experience, the oppressive feeling is maxed out! And the person who did the voiceover for this video is a talent too!”
“Mm…”
As the classic short video voiceover started, I could roughly imagine it.
Taking the phone, the image on it was a first-person perspective from a slightly low height.
Just from a glance, I could roughly tell that the shooting angle was probably around chest level.
I carefully recalled the other party's attire.
Did that person have any conspicuous recording equipnt on their chest?
Why don't I rember?
Or was it just a miniature type?
But soon, my thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice.
“Aren't you afraid of attracting the Disciplinary Squad by using a spell here?”
Unsurprisingly, that was what I said.
I looked at the screen on the phone; it was very strange to see myself from a first-person perspective.
But I didn't expect the calm at that ti to be like this?
There was indeed a bit of an oppressive feeling, especially the hand I extended afterward, and the spell ritual that was already being constructed.
When my hand passed through the spell ritual completely unscathed and I clenched my fist to crush that fireball, the voiceover reached its climax.
I felt a wave of secondhand embarrassnt watching it, but just from the footage, the voice actor really deserved a bonus.
“I'm not watching anymore, it's so awkward.”
I turned off the phone screen and handed it back to Hong Chenyi.
After all, for this kind of thing to spread around, it's really awkward for to watch it myself!
“Ah? How could you be embarrassed, Big Sis Xiao Han? Such a hype thing! Crushing a fireball with your bare hands! Especially that final tear, the scene of exploding sparks flying everywhere, Big Sis Xiao Han, how did you do it?”
“A Protective Spell, it's nothing remarkable.”
I waved my hands and walked straight to the sofa.
“Wait, this matter hasn't spread in class too, has it?”
“Of course, this kind of thing would definitely spread in the class first! Directly dominating the other class presidents!”
Hong Chenyi also crowded around and sat on the sofa; it was obvious she wasn't going to let go.
“Alright, alright…”
I held my forehead, a bit unsure how to react.
I had actually forgotten to pay attention to the situation in class.
But then again, who knew that sothing that happened in half a day would spread so quickly?
Besides, I was still testing my spells in the afternoon and didn't have ti to pay attention to the class.
But this was also good.
Before, I was worried that others would misunderstand my strength.
Now my strength has been displayed so quickly, maybe even a bit excessively, which worried even more.
I hope they don't raise up too high.
After all, the higher you're raised, the harder you fall.
I've never dared to underestimate others.
The newcors are full of hidden talents; I don't believe there isn't anyone stronger than .
Among those I know, isn't Tan Han a high mountain that's difficult to cross?
I heard that she has even mastered a spellbook with spells that consu over a hundred magic powers.
It's really hard to imagine what kind of power such a spellbook could unleash.
But that's too far from .
I just need to manage my own affairs first.
I promised Big Sis Bai that I wouldn't have any other contact with Tan Han, and it's best to think about her less in the future too.
She was the study god I looked up to before.
Even in the world of Transcendents, I suppose she is the sa, right?
Soone who knows how to learn will show their terrifying side in any field.
Afterward, I chatted with Hong Chenyi and the others for a while before preparing to go upstairs.
But at this hour, why hadn't I seen Yu Yetian?
“Let ask, why haven't I seen Yu Yetian? Where is she?”
I turned around and leaned on the second-floor railing, asking them in the living room below.
“Yu Yetian? I don't know, but I really haven't seen her all day. However, I did borrow this notebook from her. The notes she organized are so complete, my hand is sore from copying.”
Hong Chenyi looked up and said to .
“Yu Yetian is at the library. She told when she left, and will probably be back very late... hey, why are you all looking at ? I just happened to run into her when she was going out, she asked to tell you guys, it's not like I wanted to say it.”
Dongli Yiren, who had been silent all this ti, suddenly spoke up.
It seed she was indeed the only one who knew, and she was a bit tsundere.
“No way, Yu Yetian went to the library to out-study us?”
Hong Chenyi said with a look of disbelief, as if she had been betrayed.
“Got it. Alright, you guys do as you please. I'm going to rest and recuperate first. See you tomorrow.”
I didn't bother with their commotion downstairs.
Now that I knew the general situation, there was no need for to probe further.
I just didn't expect Yu Yetian to have the attribute of a grinding king.
It seems I can't lose either.
Even though she isn't the Class President, she's still so hardworking.
The life I had adapted to before was too comfortable, I even forgot that Witch Academy is a top-tier Transcendent academy!
It just has a slightly bad reputation, but those who can get in through their own strength or be abducted, which one of them isn't a genius?
I checked the ti.
It was actually still early at this hour.
To rest so early, wasn't that a bit lazy?
I seriously reflected on myself.
Maybe I should try putting a little more pressure on myself in the future?
I can't get complacent just because of the achievents I've gained now.
After taking a simple shower and returning to my bedroom, I also began to reflect.
This ended up making unable to sleep.
In the end, I contacted Teacher Ji Niang again and had her send all the papers and materials I had requested before, taking the opportunity to first understand the basic materials in this area.
This research continued late into the night.
I didn't even know when I had fallen asleep.
But when I woke up the next morning, I was dead tired.
As expected, I just made trouble for myself.
But I have to say, those profound research papers are indeed a good sleeping aid.
