Chapter 755: The Long-Unseen Bakery Club and Senior Ying Shiqian
The market here for the opening ceremony would last for a while.
While wandering around, I also encountered those sisters I knew from the laboratory.
If I didn't know them, who would have guessed that the people setting up stalls in such an ordinary-looking market would be seniors or even teaching assistants who were usually never seen?
Unfortunately, I flipped through my storage equipment and found that I didn't have anything I could take out to sell.
Otherwise, I would have also wanted to set up a small stall next to them and just sell something random; that would surely have been very interesting.
It wasn't that I lacked that bit of money; what I lacked was just this kind of wondrous experience and the feeling of having friends by my side.
After leaving the market, I headed toward the road for newcomer guidance.
With their own admission notices in hand, no matter what transportation they used to get here, the newcomers would enter a place completely different from Modu after passing through the Witch Academy's Curtain Wall.
And this was the Witch Academy.
Perhaps it was their first time coming to Modu and they wouldn't know how to use it, but it didn't matter.
As long as they were within the range of Modu covered by the Witch Academy, holding the admission notice, they would enter the academy in the next moment.
After entering the academy, there was the root network of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree guiding the newcomers to report, which could be said to be extremely convenient.
I remembered when I first enrolled, Big Sis Bai was the one leading me.
Because the process wasn't very standardized yet, it led to some students not finishing the enrollment process, requiring the clubs to cooperate in searching for them within the academy.
Taking care of and locating newcomers scattered so widely across the Witch Academy, no wonder the Earth Vein Operating System formed Earth Vein Stagnation after the newcomer enrollment was finished back then.
Of course, from my perspective, the main reason why many newcomers couldn't perform the enrollment process on time... was probably those overly thirsty seniors.
Passing through the crowd of newcomers and seeing their enthusiastic and longing looks, unknowingly, I felt a bit emotional.
Even someone like me could become the senior they spoke of.
Those avatars were busy at every moment.
However, I didn't intend to snatch work from my avatars.
Today was the day of newcomer enrollment.
My avatars were guiding the newcomers on the main roads and nodes of the enrollment process.
Although the number of people had increased, the work had become simpler.
The flow of people and the guidance marks formed by the root network naturally let the newcomers know the places they should go, while those hundred or so avatars just acted as volunteers, responding to the newcomers' common-sense questions.
“Wow, another Big Sis Little Han.”
“Hello to you too.”
I responded to this group of girls who were walking with me, three or four of them gathered together.
“It really is! Are you also Big Sis Little Han?”
One of them was a bit surprised by my response and immediately followed up with a question.
“I am.”
“Speaking of which, how many Big Sis Little Hans are there in the Witch Academy? Coming along this way, I feel like I've run into several. I've checked-in with every single one.”
“I heard from a senior that the enrollment process requires successfully checking-in with all the Big Sis Little Hans, which equals completing enrollment. Is that true?”
“Who spread such a rumor?”
Hearing them say this, I immediately realized they had been tricked by some senior again.
What a group of naive newcomers.
“Eh? It's not?”
“Of course not. My avatars are only responsible for guidance. After registering for enrollment, just ask around and you'll know what to do after enrolling.”
“Is that so... what a pity, I specifically prepared a notebook to check-in with all the Big Sis Little Hans. Wait! Speaking of which... there shouldn't be anything to do after enrollment, right? Can I continue looking for Big Sis Little Han to check-in?”
“If you insist, there's naturally no problem.”
I responded to her statement as if I had no other choice.
“Alright I'm going over that way. Goodbye.”
“Wait! Wait! Big Sis Little Han! We haven't checked-in yet!”
“Yeah, Big Sis Little Han, where are you going? Aren't you going to guide the newcomers in enrolling?”
“Guiding your enrollment is what my avatars should do.”
I smilingly took the notebook of the newcomer who said she wanted to check-in with me.
There were already several instances of “Little Han” written on it, and I swish-swish left the signature of “Yang Yuehan” on it.
“As the original body, I naturally have to enjoy a rare moment of leisure so I'm planning to go wander around the club recruitment area.”
“Eh? Original body?!”
The girl who took the notebook looked at me in shock, then looked at the signature on the notebook.
When they wanted to say something again, they found that the figure in front of them had disappeared, leaving only the moving crowd.
“Ah! That just now... that! Could that really have been Big Sis Little Han herself?”
“Wow... it's Big Sis Little Han's full name signature! It might really be that legendary senior herself!”
“Even the signed name is different. Yang Yuehan... the name itself radiates golden light, eh!”
While the girls exclaimed in surprise, they also stepped back into the enrollment process.
For newcomers, in the Transcendent world, coincidence and serendipity were probably just like this.
“Hey, hey after we finish enrolling later, let's go over to that club recruitment place Big Sis Little Han mentioned. Maybe we'll run into Big Sis Little Han again?”
“I want to see what the clubs in a Transcendent academy are like. It must surely be very interesting too, right?”
“No... how long will that take? Maybe by the time we finish our business, Big Sis Little Han will have already left?”
“What if? What if, right let's go take a look.”
“Not for me. I want to continue collecting Big Sis Little Han's signatures for my check-ins!”
The cheerful voices of the girls gradually blended into the tide of people, while I arrived at the place for club recruitment.
The reason I came here was to see if I could find any acquaintances.
Additionally... it was to see Shop Manager Xia Li.
Although my view of this shop manager was very average, and I also had quite a few stereotypes about her, she was still one of the few people I knew.
Back when I worked part-time there, I had also spent a fairly good period of daily life.
If there hadn't been one turn of events after another, I even felt that studying, living, and working part-time here until the final graduation would have seemed like a good choice.
But many things changed far too quickly.
Going to see her now, I didn't even know what to say to her.
Perhaps the act of seeing her was the meaning itself.
Moreover, when I went to pick up my cheap brother for his enrollment into the Witch Academy, I found that Shop Manager Xia Li had also gone there.
Although she eventually left in a huff midway through because she was angered by Yang Yunhan, the fact that she brought that special Red Velvet Cake of hers was enough to see her regard.
After all, last year, the one who had this treatment was the first-place top scholar, Tan Han.
Consider it as going over to apologize to her on behalf of my cheap sibling; it was a clumsy but sufficient reason.
By the time I arrived at the club recruitment area, quite a few people had already gathered here.
The people gathered here weren't all newcomers; there were also students from other grades who wanted to change their clubs or try joining a new one.
In short, in such a rare moment when all clubs were gathered, it was indeed an opportunity.
After all, for newcomers, a club was basically a platform, a platform that could help them take flight in the early stages of being a newcomer.
If they just wanted to spend a plain academy life, they could actually choose a club based mainly on interest.
However... after taking a loop around this area, I found that the clubs gathered here were actually those that usually didn't have much fame.
Ones similar to Wan Shi Wu or the Witch's Secret Realm Club were very rare.
Or rather, for such clubs, the quotas for most internal members might have been decided internally from the very beginning.
If they wanted to play it like that, then let them play it like that.
I walked to a relatively peripheral corner and saw a familiar figure there, along with a familiar club section.
In that area with the words “Bakery Club” written as the club name, there were only very simple tables and chairs.
A figure was sprawled lazily across the tabletop just like that.
To the side, there seemed to be a basket and some small cookies that had not been finished being distributed.
As I stood there, my figure blocked the sunlight shining down.
“Mm...... who is it? Want to take a look at our Bakery Club?”
Ying Shiqian rubbed her eyes and spoke somewhat listlessly.
“Senior Ying Shiqian, it's me.”
“Mm?”
Hearing this familiar voice, Ying Shiqian let out a strange sound of light confusion, as if her brain hadn't quite registered it, and lifted her head.
Her eyes, still somewhat hazy, slowly regained their spirit, and her vision began to focus.
“Little Han?! Ah? You! Why are you here!”
“You gave me a start, Senior Ying Shiqian. Slacking off again, eh?”
I propped my hands on the table she had been sleeping on and looked smilingly at this person I hadn't seen for a long time.
“Little Han... what a surprise, huh...”
At this moment, Ying Shiqian had completely snapped awake, and after seeing me, she also looked both surprised and delighted.
“You couldn't be an avatar, could you? Or is it the original body that came? Recently I found so many of your avatars outside...”
“Of course it's the original body coming to see you. It looks like no one really comes here?”
I smiled as I walked to the side, pulled out an idle chair, and sat down as well.
“Of course. Who would enter a Transcendent academy to learn baking for no reason? Sigh.”
After Ying Shiqian finished, she also let out a sigh.
“But Little Han, you're usually never to be seen. Is there something you're here for this time?”
“Just simply giving myself a holiday. I don't know many people in the Witch Academy; the few of you from the Bakery Club are already considered very familiar people to me.”
“Oh being told that by you, I'm actually a bit flattered.”
“Senior Ying Shiqian has actually become humble. This is not quite the same as the one I knew before. I don't mind you taking our relationship to brag to others, you know.”
I chatted with Senior Ying Shiqian with a beaming face.
This feeling was a bit like when I had just started working part-time before, but there was also a very obvious barrier.
I knew that the current me already found it very hard to return to the previous relationship.
After casually chatting about some topics, we also talked about other matters.
“By the way, is it just Senior Ying Shiqian alone coming for recruitment again this time? How is Senior Tang Yihan doing now?”
I picked up a club application form pressed down by a weight nearby; they were all brand new, and not a single one had been filled out.
There were also a few next to it with creases, seemingly played with and ruined by Ying Shiqian as origami.
“A hard life is just like this.”
Ying Shiqian sighed, but her tone had no meaning of complaining.
She even seemed to be enjoying herself.
Perhaps since she finished her studies at the Witch Academy, she had always been living the retirement daily life she had looked forward to?
“That fellow Tang Yihan, she wasn't willing to come accompany me. As for the shop manager... speaking of the shop manager, she... that...”
“What happened to the shop manager?”
I asked curiously.
“It's about that sibling of yours called Yang Yunhan. You should still remember yunhan, right? The shop manager also went back then, but after coming back she was... anyway, she just looked very angry. I don't know how she is now.”
“Oh, I probably know about that matter. That cheap sibling of mine hasn't experienced the beatings of society and angered the shop manager. Originally, I was thinking if I could come over and apologize to the shop manager or something.”
I explained.
“Geez!, what's there to apologize for? So much time has passed, the anger should have faded long ago. And... I heard that you, Little Han, still ended up abducting that sibling of yours to the Witch Academy?”
“Yes, I brought him to the Witch Academy to let Yunhan properly experience a round of beatings. That fellow, since she was young, didn't learn anything good from her parents.”
“True. I heard she could actually personally say words like it was good that you died before. I don't know if it's true. If it's true... I really want to go over myself and help you spank his butt!”
“Sure but at most just give him a lesson. She's ultimately just an underage child, children's words carry no malice. I'm too lazy to keep bickering with him. If he can recognize right from wrong now, the life in the Transcendent academy will also be a turning point in his life to say goodbye to the past and change himself.”
“You're quite open-minded, Little Han.”
Ying Shiqian said with a smile.
“But seriously, during the vacation period, that rumor about you being dead was spreading through the whole academy. It really scared me.”
“Well aren't I perfectly fine now. Just don't listen to the rumors spreading on the Academy Network.”
I said with a smile.
“By the way, I'm curious to ask, where is the shop manager... now?”
“The shop manager... how should I put it? The shop manager should be dealing with Tan Han's matters, right?”
After thinking for a while, Ying Shiqian spoke with some hesitation.
“Hm? Together with Tan Han? Dealing with matters? What matters?”
I inquired curiously.
“What else could it be? Ever since the shop manager gave that treasure of hers to Tan Han, she has basically been busy with this matter all the time.”
“Oh, so it's this.”
Being told this by Senior Ying Shiqian, I also remembered.
As the holder of the largest fragment of that [Transcendent Knowledge], the shop manager would indeed be constantly entangled by trouble.
Even if she made that crown into a sealed wand and gave it to Tan Han, she would likely still face a lot of trouble.
Back then, Wan Shi Wu was the first to look for trouble with the shop manager, but it eventually came to nothing.
Perhaps it was related to me also obtaining a Heart of Cold Tide?
After all, with my piece missing, [Transcendent Knowledge] would ultimately still be incomplete.
But... now in my hands, there were already two Hearts of Cold Tide.
“Little Han, that [Transcendent Knowledge] possessed by the shop manager should be related to some very important things, right?”
Ying Shiqian inquired curiously.
Although she knew roughly what that thing was, she didn't know much about the deeper level of understanding, such as what kind of existence a Grand Spellbook shaped with [Transcendent Knowledge] was.
“I suppose so. Probably... a good thing that even Transcendent mentors cannot ignore.”
“Even Transcendent mentors would fight over it? No wonder...”
“What's wrong? Did a mentor really take action regarding this?”
I inquired curiously.
After all, this [Transcendent Knowledge] seemed to be related to Destiny; the mentors shouldn't have too much interference with this.
Or... did other Transcendent academies have designs on this?
“That’s not it. It’s mainly that... far too many people covet this thing. Ever since Tan Han got that wand made from the crown... called the Wand of Absolute Cold, I shouldn't have remembered the name wrong, anyway, she has been constantly facing people's challenges, or even things like robbery. Even though I only listen to the shop manager vent, I can feel Tan Han's daily hardships.”
“Challenges?”
“Yeah, right over at the arena. I sometimes go to see Tan Han fighting there too. I have to say, with the Wand of Absolute Cold, Tan Han is truly amazing! I heard that in an unrestricted duel, she can even hold her own against a teaching assistant!”
“Is that so?”
Hearing this news, a flash of surprise also crossed my eyes.
It seemed that after so much time, I wasn't the only one making progress.
