Chapter 99: Even If the Academy Is Rotten to the Core, You Still Have to Make Money
As I walked down to the living room alone, Dongli Yiren kept staring at .
“Why are you staring at like that? Is there sothing on my face?”
I plopped down on the sofa, asking with a smile.
“N-No… nothing…”
“If it’s nothing, then you’ve got sothing on your mind, right?”
“Well… I…”
“Is it sothing you’re embarrassed to say? Just say it. Or should I guess? Is it about the new roommate?”
“No… it’s not that,” Dongli Yiren said softly, turning her head away.
“Alright then, I thought you were curious about the new roommate,” I said, leaning back against the soft cushion, ignoring her hesitant gaze.
Keep being so tsundere!
Not saying what you want to say.
I really want to fix that attitude of hers.
“eting Guan Qiuling today was kind of an accident. Dongli Yiren, do you know what I learned from the senior sister at the dorm card office?”
I said, taking the initiative to start a conversation since she wasn’t speaking.
“Huh? What?”
Dongli Yiren was caught off guard by my sudden topic shift and didn’t react imdiately.
“Our dorm already has four people assigned.”
“Four already…? Huh? What!”
Dongli Yiren’s eyes widened instantly, as if she’d just realized sothing.
“Is there a ghost? Does the Witch Academy not even spare ghosts?”
“How could it be a ghost? Co on,” I said, quickly calming her down.
I was genuinely worried she’d get so worked up she’d cause a scene.
“Then… you scared ! What’s the point of that?”
Dongli Yiren glared at resentfully after realizing I wasn’t serious.
I didn't scare you.
The dorm really has issued four dorm cards, but including the newly arrived Guan Qiuling, there are only three of us.
That ans one person hasn’t shown up yet but already has a card. Probably in a situation similar to yours.
“This… damn Witch Academy. As expected, it’s full of perverts! I shouldn’t have had any expectations for this rotten-to-the-core academy!”
After hearing my explanation, she quickly reacted and cursed.
“Okay, okay, complaining won’t help. I just wanted to tell you that our fourth, unseen roommate is probably a boy too, just like you. Don’t you feel a bit of camaraderie, even if you haven’t t them?”
I propped my chin with my hand, eagerly watching for Dongli Yiren’s reaction.
But her face was surprisingly calm, which disappointed a bit.
“Don’t you want to say sothing?”
I asked, unwilling to let it go.
“What’s there to say? Trash Witch Academy.”
“Alright…”
I sighed.
Dongli Yiren’s opinion of the Witch undisclosed Academy hadn’t improved at all.
She still called it a trash academy.
Honestly, I thought Witch Academy was pretty good.
Since that was the case, I didn’t have much else to say, so I planned to take a bath early and go to bed.
There was a lot to do tomorrow.
I didn’t practice with the Flying Broom today, so I’d make up for it tomorrow.
Plus, I needed to submit a volunteer activity report.
My quota was already way over the target, and the senior sister in charge of registration even recognized .
Mainly, I wanted to help out at the Bakery Club.
Finding people could be left to others.
Those senior sisters only cared about their own fun and didn’t think about the new students’ lives afterward.
Sure, that might be a bit of a generalization, but there were plenty of awful senior sisters, weren’t there?
Since I was doing this kind of work, I naturally wouldn’t et the responsible ones.
All I saw were the sses they left behind.
Just as I stood up to head upstairs, Dongli Yiren finally couldn’t hold back.
“Hey! Um…”
“Hm? What’s up?”
I smirked, knowing she had sothing to ask.
I didn’t expect her to crack so soon.
“Um… I have sothing to ask you,” Dongli Yiren said, her gaze darting away, as if she didn’t know how to start.
“What is it?”
I stayed calm, waiting for her to say it.
I really didn’t know what she was thinking.
Tsunderes are like that you never know what little thing will make them ignore you.
“Um… are you doing a part-ti job?”
“Of course. Didn’t you visit my part-ti job place before?”
I looked at her, confused by her question.
“I-I know that! I an, where did you find your part-ti job?”
Dongli Yiren started off loud to bolster her confidence, but her voice grew quieter toward the end.
“Huh… what? Find what?”
I pretended not to hear, asking again.
“Part-ti job! I’m asking where you found your part-ti job!”
She finally blurted out loudly, as if throwing caution to the wind.
Seeing her ask so directly, I thought her tsundere level wasn’t quite high enough.
A bit boring.
But I didn’t expect Dongli Yiren to ask about this.
Wasn’t she rich?
Why would she need a part-ti job?
Did her family stop sending her money?
“Part-ti job? Just say it, no need to be shy. I asked a senior sister about it. You can find them in the Academy System.”
“Academy System?”
Dongli Yiren stared blankly at the Academy System app on her phone.
To be honest, she barely used it and didn’t know how to navigate it.
“You don’t know? In the Academy System, open the most obvious task section. There’s a part-ti job recruitnt board. Just find one you like and contact them. But be careful not to get scamd into doing hard labor.”
“You… can get scamd?”
Dongli Yiren clearly caught the keyword, her eyes widening.
“Of course. The academy is like a mini-society. Getting scamd in an academy job might not be a big deal, but getting scamd outside the academy can be serious. Just be cautious and choose carefully. By the way, are you looking for a job because you’re short on money?”
“I-I have plenty of money! I just feel… bored, with nothing to do, so I want to find sothing to keep busy,” Dongli Yiren said, reacting like a cat with its tail stepped on.
Apparently, implying she was broke hit a nerve.
“Alright then. I told you the thod. I’m going to take a bath now. Don’t peek at !”
“As if I’d peek! What do you take for!”
anwhile,
A door to an office was pushed open, and a slightly disheveled figure walked in.
“Bai Yu, sorry to make you co back in person. But that injury aren’t you going to find soone who can cast a healing spell to treat it?”
“It’s been treated. It’s fine. But this injury… healing spells don’t seem to work. It might need more special thods,” Bai Yu said, clutching her left shoulder with her right hand.
Her movents were labored, and the injury was far more serious than it appeared.
“Do you regret it then? Even if this is just a minor detail in the script, for a non-transcendent witch like you, changing the course cos at a cost.”
The transcendent witch in front of Bai Yu, the teacher who had contacted her before, spoke in an instructive tone.
“But it’s worth it.”
“Alright, it seems that little one nad Yang Yuehan is indeed important to you,” the teacher said, pausing briefly.
“But thanks for stirring things up. It gave us an advantage before the script even started. Do you mind us using you like this?”
“Of course I mind, but I signed a contract with you. Anything else? If not, I’m leaving,” Bai Yu said, turning to go.
“Nothing else. In such a hurry to leave, are you eager to see your little Xiao Han?”
The teacher asked with a smile.
“No… I need to heal first. I can’t let Xiao Han know I’m injured. Also, please rember your promise to take care of Xiao Han.”
“You know better than I do that we value her highly. Since you brought it up again, I’ll personally make sure it’s handled.”
“Thank you,” Bai Yu said sincerely before leaving.
“No need to thank . How about I beco Xiao Han’s horoom teacher?”
After Bai Yu left, the teacher’s words echoed in the office, but Bai Yu didn’t hear them.
“Sigh, you didn’t answer, so I’ll take that as agreent.”
