Chapter 450: The Overlapping Effect of the Appraisal Spell and the Tree of Knowledge
“Mhm? Hello, Teacher.”
After knocking on the office door, I simply pushed it open.
After opening it, my gaze subconsciously looked inward, and the first person I saw was a teacher I wasn't very familiar with, sitting closest to the door.
However, I greeted her politely.
The teacher looked at , a flicker of surprise in her eyes, but she just nodded indifferently and resud her work.
I then surveyed the office space.
The space inside this office was considerably larger than Teacher Ji Niang's private office, and much of the décor was new, but there were four teacher desks in the room.
Since Big Sis Bai told she shared an office with Teacher Miao and Teacher Hei, this person must be the fourth teacher whom I didn't know well.
“Little Han, co over here.”
“Mhm, okay.”
I looked up at where Big Sis Bai was sitting, which was the innermost desk.
Teachers Miao and Hei were nowhere to be seen, perhaps they had gone out for sothing.
Since they had just arrived from outside the Main World, it was reasonable for them to be curious about the place, so I didn't need to worry too much about the two of them.
“These are the knowledge points for the Teaching Assistant written test that I sorted out for you. Even after I streamlined them, there are still quite a lot. Little Han, you'll have to work hard for the next couple of days.”
Seeing arrive, Bai Yu imdiately handed over the materials she had organized during this ti.
It was an object similar to a USB flash drive.
The connector looked like an Earth Vein System plug-in.
This was the so-called knowledge material Big Sis Bai prepared for .
“Is that all?”
I picked up the small item and curiously looked at Big Sis Bai.
“Mhm, don't let its size fool you. Plug it into the Earth Vein System and open it; the content inside is extensive. If you start reading now, you might not finish before the written test begins.”
Big Sis Bai saw my expression and reminded , her tone carrying a hint of urgency.
“Don’t worry I didn't co here unprepared.”
I picked up the small item and imdiately used the Appraisal Spell.
"『Na: Mobile Earth Vein Storage Device
Description: An information storage device that works with the Earth Vein System, created based on the Earth Vein's capacity.
It can be read and displayed on the Earth Vein System through a special thod.
Stored Information: It contains all the basic knowledge points for all the fixed courses from the first to third year of the Witch Academy, including so extended knowledge points.
Remarks: This is the knowledge material Big Sis Bai prepared for . It seems she prepared it in advance but didn't have the opportunity to give it to to check for gaps before.
This heartfelt gesture has now been delivered.』"
I looked at the brief Appraisal description.
Most of the content was collapsed.
But I was clearly not just appraising this item to view its information.
Instead, I was using the information appraised by the Appraisal Spell, in the form of Earth Vein Information, to bypass the process of reading it myself and transfer all the information inside into my Tree of Knowledge.
Of course, if I encountered content I couldn't understand during the process, aning information the Tree of Knowledge couldn't parse, I naturally wouldn't understand it either, and the Tree of Knowledge could only "copy" it directly.
But this was fine, because difficult problems were worth using my own brain to understand and learn.
In other words, in this brief mont of appraisal, I had essentially "finished reading" all the knowledge points, as all that information was contained within that "collapse."
Naturally, I still had to go through a review process after "reading" it all, but the review process would certainly be much faster than reading it directly.
It could be said that the Earth Vein Information Appraisal Spell had completely fulfilled the last step of the three-step plan for the initial mory Bookshelf Spellbook, achieving the goal of instantly recording knowledge points from a book into the spell, even without visually reading it.
If this were back when I first obtained the mory Bookshelf Spellbook, I couldn't even dare to imagine this, or even think of the idea.
Now, it had been achieved thanks to this flash of inspiration.
I felt a little wistful, but more than that, satisfied.
It was the satisfaction of achieving a goal unintentionally.
“Do you know how to use it? Will you use the Earth Vein System you carry with you or the one I have here?”
“If Big Sis Bai isn't busy, let's use yours.”
I held the storage device, opened its plug, and gently waved it towards the interface of Big Sis Bai’s desktop Earth Vein System.
“Alright, plug it in.”
“Then I won't be polite, will I?”
Receiving Big Sis Bai’s consent, I did not hesitate to plug it into the interface.
It went in instantly!
One should know that with things like USB drives, you can't plug them in without repeatedly trying two or three tis.
The principle behind this phenonon has never been proven, which is quite bizarre.
However, after I appraised Big Sis Bai's Earth Vein System, I found it was newly configured, so no wonder the Earth Vein Storage Device fit so snugly when inserted.
From the perspective of my Spirit Vision, I watched the Earth Vein Storage Device connect on the Earth Vein Energy level.
The information data it carried was injected into the Earth Vein System at an extrely fast rate.
At this mont, a floating, translucent light screen condensed from Earth Vein Energy appeared.
Big Sis Bai expertly opened the external file, and imdiately, a massive and dense collection of knowledge points poured out onto the light screen.
The display screen was stretched quite a bit, and it only returned to a conveniently viewable size after so adjustnt.
“Little Han, how much of the knowledge on this do you generally know? I'll help you check for any gaps first.”
“Mhm… basically all of it?”
I pondered for a mont and said.
Although I was only in the first year, the first three years of the Witch Academy curriculum were mostly foundational, and many knowledge points could even be logically derived from one another.
At this mont, I had a further realization of my own learning ability.
The Transcendent… truly is a marvelous ans.
It can transform an ordinary person like into an existence that peers cannot even hope to catch up to.
“Really? This contains all the basic and extended knowledge points for the first three years of the academy, you know? Don't lie to your Big Sis Bai.”
“Mhm Mhm Big Sis Bai can quiz . If I don't know sothing, I’ll let you do whatever you want.”
I said confidently.
“You said that, Little Han. If you're lying to , I'll make you suffer a little.”
Seeing my confidence, Bai Yu also felt a little eager to try.
She wasn't interested in the "do whatever you want" part; she just wanted to quiz Little Han to see if she truly mastered all this knowledge.
After all, if Little Han had learned to lie, she would have to use strong thods to make Little Han turn over a new leaf.
“Then let's start with the simple questions. These are knowledge points related to the Elental Theory in the Foundation Evocation Chapter…”
At this mont, Bai Yu officially began to quiz .
I also pulled over an empty stool and sat down in a comfortable posture.
Bai Yu had also studied these knowledge points.
At that ti, coming into contact with Transcendent-related knowledge for the first ti made her excited, so she always rembered the related knowledge points.
Although she had forgotten so details over the years, she could quickly recall them just by looking at them now.
As Bai Yu's quizzing went deeper, many of the later knowledge points were marked as important, but I felt absolutely no difficulty with them, responding clearly and easily.
By the end, Big Sis Bai had started skipping around in her examination.
The more she did so, the more Bai Yu was inwardly astonished.
Little Han was only a first-year!
And she had a course exemption.
How could she have mastered the knowledge points so well?
But the corners of Bai Yu's mouth subconsciously lifted.
At least this ant Little Han would have no problem passing the written test.
She hadn't expected Little Han to have grown to this extent unintentionally.
Because of this, she subconsciously compared to her forr self, and she realized she had never seen such a prodigy… even now, she felt she couldn't compare to Little Han.
Even since the ti she confessed to Little Han, she had beco much smarter, as if a window had opened for her.
Her aptitude, displayed while studying at the Witch World's Great Library, had even attracted the notice of the Primal Witch.
But there was still a gap that couldn't be compared to Little Han.
However, she felt no jealousy or similar emotions.
After all, if Little Han was so capable, then she, having Little Han, must be even more formidable, right?
“Phew…”
After a long while, Bai Yu stopped and sighed softly.
“Why did you stop, Big Sis Bai? Are you giving up?”
“No need to test anymore, Little Han. You've mastered all this knowledge. Do you still need my help to study?”
Bai Yu said exasperatedly.
“But I've been busy recently and haven't reviewed these knowledge points. I was afraid I’d forget them.”
“Busy… What exactly have you been busy with, Little Han? You’re being so secretive and not telling .”
“Hmmph Of course, I've been busy with sothing good. Do you still rember the mory Bookshelf Spellbook you gave , Big Sis Bai?”
“Oh, I almost forgot. You recorded all these knowledge points on it? That’s a massive project.”
Hearing about the mory Bookshelf Spellbook, Bai Yu quickly realized.
If that was the case, then Little Han being this formidable was no longer surprising.
“Recording them on the mory Bookshelf Spellbook is too much trouble! I’m currently developing a derivative from the mory Bookshelf Spellbook…”
“A derivative?! A spell derivative?”
Just as I hadn't finished my sentence, I was interrupted by a voice from the side.
“Eh?”
I turned my head and looked at the teacher suspiciously—the one who had been sitting quietly here, whose na I didn't even know.
“I got too excited. You are still a student, right? Do you know what a Spellbook Derivative ans?”
“I do. Teacher Ji Niang once told about the spell sequence derivative.”
“Is that so…”
The teacher looked at very sharply, but she couldn't find any trace of lying.
Thinking of this… even she subconsciously swallowed.
What kind of prodigy was this girl, developing a derivative Spellbook?
The mory Bookshelf Spellbook—although she hadn't heard of this specific Spellbook, she was familiar with this category of Spellbooks.
Just from the na, she could infer its function.
This was the cognitive foundation she possessed as a Transcendent Witch, so she clearly understood how difficult the derivation of this type of Spellbook was.
Even among the group of Transcendent Witches, the ratio of witches who only use Spellbooks to those who create Spellbooks is disproportionate, let alone developing derivatives.
After all, creating a Spellbook is rely about mastering the True Editing technique, while developing a derivative requires a profound understanding of the spell.
Furthermore, she had entered the Main World as an Academic Witch, so she clearly understood the value of this.
She had co to the Main World for only one reason: she heard that the Main World Witch Academy had several research groups dedicated to [Transcendent Knowledge], and she was very interested in the manufacturing of Grand Spellbooks.
“Little Han, let introduce you. This is Stacy. She is an Academic Witch who entered the Main World Witch Academy in the sa batch as , and she will also be a colleague of mine from now on.”
Big Sis Bai spoke up at this mont.
“Hello, Teacher Stacy.”
I greeted her politely.
Then, after a mont of thought, I seed to recall having seen her when I was greeting Big Sis Bai, but it was only a glance.
After all, at that ti, I naturally didn't feel the need to deliberately record her presence.
“Mhm, your na is Little Han, right? Are you… a Lesser Witch? Does the Main World Witch Academy also accept Lesser Witches as students?”
She asked sowhat uncertainly.
“Uh… Teacher Stacy, you must be mistaken. I am not a Lesser Witch, just an ordinary low-grade student.”
I quickly waved my hand and explained awkwardly.
It seed the Academy Head truly wasn't lying.
This witch from outside the Main World was genuinely mistaking for a Lesser Witch.
“Hmm? How can that be… Did I see wrong?”
“I know Teacher Stacy might have so misunderstanding, but you can learn about this from Academy Head i Linde. This should be the Academy Head's doing. The academy's Academic Section should have recorded relevant experintal information; it's research related to self-awakened Body Cultivation and bodily Witchification.”
“What? Self-awakened Body Cultivation and bodily Witchification? You also have Self-generating Magic Power… truly amazing…”
In that instant, this Academic Witch seed to imagine many things.
The entire witch froze on the spot, and she ultimately only sighed inwardly, “Amazing.”
“Mhm, if Teacher Dana is curious, you can talk to the Academy Head. I don’t know much about it myself…”
I said modestly.
I decided to push all the credit to the Academy Head, letting her handle the trouble for .
Otherwise, this Academic Witch nad Stacy, I felt, would be the type to get stuck on a problem with and never stop.
“This…”
Stacy looked embarrassed.
Was I asking her to discuss this with the Academy Head?
She felt the Academy Head probably wasn't that idle.
However, she planned to check out the academy’s Academic Section later.
She still didn't know much about many things in the Main World.
She hadn't had much contact with the academy's students yet, and the student right in front of her left a deep impression.
Spellbook derivation… self-awakened Body Cultivation, possessing the talent of a witch without advancing to a Transcendent Witch… How many monsters like this were there in the Main World?
And she also knew that the Main World was currently in a period where the Script was being activated.
It was inevitable that such a genius would appear.
Even if this person wasn't a Child of Destiny, she should at least be an important supporting character, right?
Stacy returned to her desk and curiously looked up again.
…No Seed of Destiny, and no Earth Vein Chains?
Wait, how did she sever the Earth Vein Chains without advancing to a Transcendent?
No way… without the Earth Vein Chains, how could she carry so many Magic Power Sources and Spellbooks?
She felt that in this brief mont, her small heart had been greatly shaken.
However, I would not pay attention to what the teacher was thinking.
After all, all of this was quite normal for .
So, I redirected my attention back to Big Sis Bai.
Apart from the Grand Spellbook, there were no secrets I dared not reveal to Big Sis Bai, including matters related to the Tree of Knowledge.
After all, I never planned to hide this, and there was no need to hide it.
The initial intention for hiding things was to reduce trouble and to maintain the ntality of being ahead of others—it's best to quietly make a fortune with good things.
But sotis, appropriate sharing and communication could also bring breakthrough inspiration.
Furthermore, this was a spell I had derived myself, and the only way for others to learn it was through .
If derivative spells could be created just by knowing the idea, then derivative spells would be worthless.
Even if soone wanted to steal my Spellbook, they couldn't steal the Tree of Knowledge.
Even if they did, it would just be the unrecognizable mory Bookshelf Spellbook again.
Without the synergy of the Illusory Clone, Flexible Learning and Application Spell, and other Spellbooks, and without the Revelation obtained from the Plant Network, the Rune, and the frawork to build this derivative spell, this derivative Spellbook would be nothing but loose sand.
This is like technology: you can't build sothing just by having the blueprint.
Without the related technology, theoretical guidance, and a series of other requirents, how can you expect the finished product?
Moreover, the academy would not allow this kind of blatant robbery to happen.
If it were a dispute between students, I was confident I wouldn't be robbed.
If it were a Transcendent Witch… well, that witch would be lacking in class.
Hmm… the Academy Head would probably even stand up for , so I didn't need to worry.
“Here I call the derivative of the mory Bookshelf the Tree of Knowledge. It’s very convenient to use.”
I said to Big Sis Bai with a smile.
