Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School? Chapter 297 : Chapter 297

Chapter 297: A Burden? You Are My Spiritual Pillar...

“Gone…?”

I watched as the Academy Head’s clone disappeared, feeling a bit stunned.

After asking all those questions, I chatted with the Academy Head about so other things to enrich my understanding.

I understood that I had no choice but to get involved in this muddy water.

Big Sis Bai’s expectations might be dashed once again.

I was naturally willing to do whatever the Academy Head asked of .

After all, you can’t take soone’s things for free.

The Academy Head had already noticed when I showed so abnormalities.

My journey here had been so “smooth sailing” largely because the Academy Head had been pushing from behind.

This included, but was not limited to, the Unity of Knowledge and Action spellbook, as well as other benefits I wasn’t even aware of.

So, the only problem now was Big Sis Bai.

Big Sis Bai and I had both signed a secrecy contract.

Big Sis Bai knew this, but she definitely didn’t know as much as I did.

This required an excuse to convince Big Sis Bai, or… no excuse was needed.

After all, Big Sis Bai had just called not long ago.

Now, to act contrary to her wishes was uncharacteristic.

This wasn’t sothing I could do by insisting on my own way.

Just like in the Fool’s Village secret realm, I thought everything would be fine once Big Sis Bai was safely out, but when I saw her worrying about , I realized I had been thinking too much.

“Sigh… I’m overthinking again.”

I slapped myself on the forehead.

I realized I seed to be getting stuck in a rut again.

This kind of thing should naturally be confessed directly to Big Sis Bai.

What was there that couldn’t be said to Big Sis Bai?

Perhaps there was, like the matter of the grand spellbook.

It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Big Sis Bai, but even just knowing about such a thing could bring about unimaginable disaster.

So I called Big Sis Bai again.

I was prepared to tell her so things.

At least… if I explained it clearly, Big Sis Bai should understand whether what I was doing was aningful or not.

And the eting place… was at the Witch Cat Cafe.

This was a place I was very familiar with.

I had even t the "boss" behind it, and we might even cooperate in the future, so I naturally felt a sense of closeness to this place.

Just like last ti, but this ti I went to a thed cat room, which was a private room.

After all, what Big Sis Bai and I would be discussing couldn't be heard by outsiders.

“Little Dark Cloud, What a coincidence, seeing you again.”

Walking into the Witch Cat Cafe, I ran into the pure black kitten I had t before.

I went forward and picked it up, ignoring its ows and carrying it into the thed cat room.

Then I ordered a dessert coffee and a cat food set for Little Dark Cloud.

The rest of the ti, I quietly waited for Big Sis Bai to arrive.

Not long after, before Little Dark Cloud had even taken a few bites of its cat treats, Big Sis Bai arrived.

“Big Sis Bai, you’re here.”

I quickly put down the cat treats and Little Dark Cloud.

I didn’t expect Big Sis Bai to co so quickly.

“Little Han, you contacted so urgently and even arranged to et at the cat cafe. Is sothing wrong?”

“Yes, there are so things I want to talk to you about, Big Sis Bai,” I said with a nod.

“Is it related to this sleeping curse?”

Big Sis Bai asked tentatively.

The outside world didn't know what the culprit behind this abnormal sleep was, so the most direct na circulating on the academy network was the sleeping curse.

“It is sowhat related, but it’s a bit different from what you’re thinking, Big Sis Bai.”

I pushed the drink I had ordered in front of Big Sis Bai, not knowing how to start.

If I just ca out and said it without any preamble, Big Sis Bai would definitely not agree, right?

“It really is related to this, isn’t it? The death at the Holy Angel Academy has already spread on the academy network. The situation is not good, Little Han. You called here… you’re not going to tell you want to get involved in this, are you?”

At this mont, Bai Yu naturally had so of her own speculations.

What she feared most was the person she cared about doing sothing foolish.

“Big Sis Bai, I know the cause of this matter. Let’s put aside this serious matter for a mont and listen to talk about sothing else, okay?”

I said softly.

“Mm, okay.”

Bai Yu nodded.

She was willing to listen to Little Han’s explanation.

She knew she probably couldn’t stop Little Han from doing what she wanted, but at least she wanted to know why.

“Then I’ll start.”

I nodded, and then with a snap of my fingers, a soundproof spell barrier appeared.

This soundproof spell was just a lesser spellbook, and it was physical soundproofing, but it was enough for now.

There were also powerful spellbooks for soundproofing with high consumption, but I didn’t need to use such a high level of soundproofing.

“Big Sis Bai, do you still rember our encounter in the Fool’s Village secret realm?”

I thought for a mont and decided to start sorting things out from the Fool’s Dream Village.

If I removed the content about the grand spellbook, it would still make sense.

“In the Fool’s Village secret realm? Are you referring to the collapse of the secret realm or so other encounter?”

“I’m referring to the Nightmares I encountered, the Nightmares that were part of the Fool’s Dream.”

“The Nightmares that were part of the Fool’s Dream… Nightmares? Wait, are you saying that this incident was actually caused by Nightmares?”

Bai Yu was naturally very smart.

After being reminded and using her own association, she quickly ca up with the answer.

“You’re very close. This incident was indeed caused by Nightmares. Nightmares are part of the Fool’s Dream. The Fool’s Village secret realm collapsed, and the Fool’s Dream had nowhere to go, and the sa goes for the sealed Nightmares. Of course, the Academy Head also had a hand in this.”

“The Academy Head is also involved in this? Wait… Little Han, how do you know so much?”

At this mont, Bai Yu frowned deeply.

She didn’t expect this matter to be related to the Academy Head.

The Academy Head had even co out to appease everyone earlier… then the water in this matter was even deeper.

“The Academy Head told . Have you forgotten that the Academy Head entrusted the Fool’s Dream to ? You can understand it as the Fool’s Village secret realm being a setup by the Academy Head, and our arrival, my discoveries, and other actions helped the Academy Head a great deal. I can’t say any more than that.”

“I understand. Don’t force yourself if you can’t say it. Big Sis Bai, I’m not the kind of person who wants to know everything.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Big Sis Bai. In short, after the destruction of the Fool’s Village secret realm, the Academy Head also accomplished what she wanted to do, and I also ca into the Academy Head’s line of sight. Big Sis Bai, you know my specialty, right? Spirit Vision…”

“Mm, so you were valued by the Academy Head because of this?”

At this point, a trace of worry appeared in Bai Yu's eyes.

Being valued by an existence like the Academy Head was not entirely a good thing.

It also represented greater danger.

Even a small fluctuation at the Academy Head's level could bring eternal damnation to the small figures around her.

This was not an exaggeration.

What the Academy Head valued also needed to show corresponding value, which was not sothing Little Han could bear at present.

At least… Bai Yu thought so.

“Sothing like that… Big Sis Bai, cheer up. Isn’t this a good thing? Why does Big Sis Bai always hope to live a comfortable life like an ordinary person?”

“This… I…”

At this mont, Bai Yu didn’t know how to explain.

Should she directly say that this was her project?

The project of the ordinary… it always made her subconsciously adopt such a perspective.

The ordinary pursued comfort… this was a subconscious behavior.

“It’s fine. Big Sis Bai, you have your own persistence, but I also have my own persistence so we need to find a point of balance in our differences.”

I shook my head and broke the awkwardness.

Did Big Sis Bai also have sothing she was unwilling to say?

Just like how Big Sis Bai had said herself, she wouldn’t pursue the matter to the end.

“Actually, Big Sis Bai, the Nightmare won’t kill people, but there is still a certain danger. After all, we’ve all seen that kind of monster.”

“Mm.”

Bai Yu also nodded, recalling the ti when she was pulled into the dream state by that monster.

Although it was thrilling, it didn’t cause us any substantial harm.

“Little Han, then are you trying to say that the death was actually fake?”

“No, it was real, but it wasn’t caused by the Nightmare.”

I shook my head and said.

“Not the Nightmare? Then why did you ntion the Nightmare, Little Han?”

“The sleep was caused by the Nightmare, but the death was not. These are two different things,” I corrected.

“This matter is like… %&#mm…”

Just as I was about to continue, my mouth suddenly beca disobedient and I couldn’t articulate clearly.

In the end, I couldn’t even make a sound.

I understood that the aning I wanted to express had already touched upon the hints of the script’s aning.

For an ordinary person, they naturally wouldn’t be able to obtain any useful information from this, but Big Sis Bai had also signed a secrecy contract, so the coercive binding force of the contract could no longer stop the hints I wanted to express.

“Little Han, what’s wrong with you? Little Han… you are…”

Seeing my abnormality, Bai Yu subconsciously beca flustered and wanted to see what was wrong with , but under the signal of my body language, I also cald Big Sis Bai down.

And Big Sis Bai also gradually understood what this ant.

This was being silenced, and such an abrupt silencing, Bai Yu quickly thought of what it was.

We had an unspoken understanding and completed a silent communication.

After a while, feeling the power of the contract dissipate, I took a deep breath again.

“Phew alright that’s what it is. The things we’ve experienced, um… I don’t know how to describe it. We can’t speak of such things. I know more than you do, Big Sis Bai… Didn’t you also hope at the beginning that I wouldn’t get involved in this vortex?”

“Mm… I understand… but… you shouldn’t get involved in this matter even more. You told so much, isn’t it because you want to reject what I hope you will do?”

“That’s right… so Big Sis Bai… you still don’t quite understand. The efforts of us little people have always been just about surviving in the cracks. The so-called efforts look like teasing ants from a higher perspective.”

“I understand this sense of powerlessness, so I know you shouldn’t go against this kind of thing even more. There’s no benefit.”

“I’ve never gone against it, at least not after I thought it through… also, I’m not just getting involved, but fighting for… a once-and-for-all… opportunity to get out of the quagmire.”

I looked at Big Sis Bai seriously.

If I succeeded in severing the Earth Vein Chains with the help of the Academy Head this ti, it would be equivalent to escaping the script.

And it wouldn’t be long before Big Sis Bai beca a transcendent witch, and she could also sever the Earth Vein Chains.

At that ti, both Big Sis Bai and I would have tickets to leave this world.

It would be almost like getting into the sa university after the college entrance exam.

The sky would be the limit for us to fly…

Although thinking like this was a bit too ambitious, at least there was sothing to look forward to, right?

“Once and for all? How is it possible… how can there be a once-and-for-all thod?”

Big Sis Bai also shook her head and said at this mont.

“Why is it impossible? Big Sis Bai, are you about to beco a transcendent witch?”

“This… actually, I’m not sure either.”

Bai Yu subconsciously looked at her palm, then clenched it into a fist.

“I seem to be missing the most crucial step… but I don’t know what it is. My ntor said it’s because I haven’t figured it out myself. Once I figure it out, and break through that layer of paper…”

“So that ans it’s just a fine line away, right? When you beco a transcendent witch, Big Sis Bai, have you thought about where to go? Outside the world?”

I continued to ask.

“I… to be honest, I haven’t thought about it. Outside the world, that’s a picture I’ve never seen. I heard that outside the world is the void, and the void is infinitely vast, also called the endless void… but I don’t think there will be a place for in such a vast place…”

“But the world we are in is not beautiful either, is it?”

“But this is the world that gave birth to us and raised us…”

“Is that what you think, Big Sis Bai?”

But I wasn't.

The malice this world had towards was beyond anyone’s imagination.

First, there was the innate Spirit Vision, which almost drove crazy.

Then there was a terrible family, and now I was trapped in the script… If it weren’t for eting Big Sis Bai on the front line… I didn’t know how long I would have had to persevere alone in such a situation.

I was like an outsider.

To my family, I was an outsider.

To this world, I was also the sa, so out of place.

Big Sis Bai having such thoughts might also be related to the so-called Earth Vein Chains, relying on this world and having a strong sense of belonging to this world.

“Mm… Little Han, what about you?”

“? I want to see what the world outside is like. Whether it’s a sea of stars, or a forest of myriad races, or a dark forest… the unknown and curiosity are what drive to pursue those things I don’t know.”

“Is that so?”

Bai Yu lowered her head with a bitter smile, but after thinking about it carefully, she probably ca to the sa conclusion.

Perhaps this was forced by the family environnt Little Han had always been in?

Yearning for the outside world, having no sense of belonging to her original family, and thus the sa towards the whole world.

“What’s wrong, Big Sis Bai?”

“Oh, nothing, nothing.”

“It’s good that it’s nothing. Then Big Sis Bai, are you willing to… go with … to see what the void looks like in the future?”

“See it… together, yes! Alright, since you want to see it, Little Han, then I will definitely accompany you.”

At this mont, Bai Yu nodded heavily, as if she had made up her mind.

“Well don’t say it like you’re unwilling and were forced to change your mind because of . I want you to be genuinely willing, Big Sis Bai, okay?”

“Yes, I am genuinely willing.”

“Then it’s a promise… forget it, let’s not jinx it. Anyway, since you understand my thoughts, Big Sis Bai, let’s get back to the main topic… Have you heard of the Earth Vein Chains, Big Sis Bai?”

“Earth Vein Chains?”

“It seems you don’t know.”

I looked at Big Sis Bai’s expression and nodded.

“The Earth Vein Chains are what keep us trapped in this world, and also what we must sever before we can leave this world. Big Sis Bai, after you advance to a transcendent witch, you will be able to sever your own Earth Vein Chains, but I can’t…”

Speaking of which… I also realized, since reaching the level of a transcendent witch could sever the Earth Vein Chains… then wouldn’t any transcendent witch be able to help , and I wouldn’t have to owe the Academy Head a favor?

But things probably weren’t that simple.

I still rembered that when the concept of the Earth Vein Chains was ntioned, Teacher Ji Niang, who had accompanied to see the Academy Head, had been montarily surprised.

Either there were other secrets to severing the Earth Vein Chains, or the Earth Vein Chains could only be severed by oneself, and the difficulty of using external force was even more… difficult?

Perhaps I could ask Teacher Ji Niang.

“Severing the Earth Vein Chains?”

At this mont, Bai Yu also repeated my words.

“Mm, severing the Earth Vein Chains not only allows you to leave this world, but also severs your connection with this world. This is what I need to do, because once the Earth Vein Chains are severed, it also ans I will no longer be bound by %*&… mm…”

“This… I… I understand…”

Seeing being silenced again, how could Bai Yu not understand at this mont?

“But this is still too dangerous… I think…”

At this point, Bai Yu suddenly paused, as if reflecting on herself, closed her eyes in thought, then opened them again and looked at seriously, staring into my eyes and said, “If, I an if, I accompany you… I go with you… will I be a burden to you?”

At this mont, hearing Big Sis Bai’s words, I smiled with relief.

I tried to speak, and the silence disappeared at this mont.

“How could you be? Big Sis Bai will never be my burden.”

You are my spiritual pillar…
