Chapter 69 : Senior Crying and Making a Fuss on the Floor Is Really Pitiful

“You… what did you say?”

At this moment, Senior Ying Shiqian looked as if she had been gravely wounded, staring at me with a “terrified” and incredulous gaze.

“Come on, Senior, even if you look like you don’t believe it, it won’t change reality,” I said soothingly as I leaned closer.

But I hadn’t expected Senior to be so dramatic.

“I… I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! We agreed… not to be like them… to stay grounded…”

But before Ying Shiqian could wail with heartfelt emotion, she was interrupted by Tang Yihan.

“Ying Shiqian, what are you doing now? If you’ve got nothing to do, come help me. What are you yelling about!”

Senior Tang Yihan came from the back, still holding a whisk she hadn’t put down.

“Yihan… I’ve been hit hard… I need comfort…”

Ying Shiqian’s tone was full of grievance.

As she darted past me, I even saw a glimmer at the corner of her eye.

What a huge grievance.

I watched as Senior Ying Shiqian threw herself at Tang Yihan, aiming for a face-washing, but was mercilessly pushed away and fell to the ground.

“Really, Xiao Han’s right here. You’re embarrassing the title of Senior.”

“Embarrassing… But, but it was Xiao Han who started it! You don’t know, I was talking to her about meditation yesterday, and today… today she tells me she’s already succeeded!”

“How am I supposed to stay calm? My persona’s already ruined.”

I quietly looked at Senior Ying Shiqian, crying and fussing on the floor.

This wasn’t just a ruined persona, was it?

But at this moment, Senior Tang Yihan was also shocked by Ying Shiqian’s words.

“What? Xiao Han, you succeeded?”

Tang Yihan rushed to my side, even tossing aside her whisk.

As for the person crying and fussing on the side, she was even less worth bothering with.

“Y-Yeah.”

Seeing Senior’s excited reaction, it felt like this achievement wasn’t mine but hers.

“Then you’re practically a genius!”

“Y-Yeah… genius…”

Tang Yihan was so excited she became incoherent, saying things I couldn’t understand.

“Right, Xiao Han, have you confirmed it? Check your personal data. If you succeed in meditation, it’ll show up. Don’t get happy for nothing.”

“Huh? Oh, right.”

Reminded by Senior Tang Yihan, I realized I did have a way to confirm whether I had truly succeeded.

But no matter how the data recorded it, my ability to refine mental strength threads and enhance mental strength wouldn’t change because of mere data.

I picked up my phone and updated the data with my student card.

[Name: Yang Yuehan]

[Gender: Female (Witch)]

[Race: Human (Preparatory Witch)]

[Talent: Spirit Vision (Floating World), Unparsed Supernatural Knowledge]

[Status: Witch Academy Class of 1145 Freshman]

[Magic Power Source: 1/1]

[Physical Data: (Expand to View)]

[Spell Slots: Cleaning Spell]

[Skills: Witch Meditation Method (Beginner · 1 Thread), Basic Main World Common Language,

Basic Spell Theory, Basic Elemental Theory…]

[Tasks: Red Velvet Bakery Part-Time Employee · Clock-In (Ongoing); Meditation Practice (Optional); Flying License Exam (Optional)]

There weren’t many changes in the phone’s data.

The most significant was that the Basic Meditation skill had changed to the official Witch Meditation Method, even marked with Beginner and the number of mental strength threads!

It seemed the data was recorded quite accurately.

I wondered what principle this was based on.

Could Earth Vein Energy explain everything?

But the tasks had been updated with several optional items.

Whether it was meditation practice or the flying license, these were things I had thought about or agreed to.

So this data was basically a memo!

I scrolled down the data on my phone, covering the talent section.

Both Unparsed Supernatural Knowledge and Spirit Vision (Floating World) were probably information I shouldn’t reveal.

“It really shows me as a beginner.”

I handed my phone to Senior Tang Yihan to show her.

After seeing it, she finally confirmed it.

“It’s real!”

After confirming, Senior Tang Yihan’s face showed both joy and contemplation, as if she had decided something.

“Xiao Han, would you like to join our club?”

“Huh? Club? What club?”

Her sudden words caught me off guard.

Out of nowhere, I couldn’t quite follow.

It’s a student-organized club registered with the academy.

Most students join clubs to pass their free time at the academy, and the academy occasionally provides funding for clubs!

“Huh?”

I widened my eyes.

The academy had clubs?

Did they think there was too much free time?

“But Senior, you haven’t told me what your club is.”

“It’s the Bakery Club! The registered name is Bakery Club, and the Red Velvet Bakery we’re in is the club’s permanent base.”

“What? That’s how it is?”

Hearing Senior’s explanation, I gained some understanding.

So this place was a club space.

No wonder there was a bakery here.

If it was really for profit, with such low foot traffic, wouldn’t it just be waiting to lose money?

Even if the manager was filthy rich, they wouldn’t do that.

“Right! The Bakery Club is quite well-known in the academy, especially our manager. She’s the pillar of our club.”

“Then… what about you, Seniors?”

I asked curiously.

“Us… ahem, we’re some of the founding members of the club!”

Looking at Senior’s proud expression, though she tried to restrain it, I could tell she was very proud of it.

“How about it? Want to consider joining our Bakery Club? If you join, the manager will definitely nurture you well. You don’t know, but the manager’s club treasury is full of good stuff.”

“Huh? Are there benefits to joining the club?”

“Not necessarily for regular members, but you’re different, Xiao Han. You’re a genius freshman now! The manager can’t possibly overlook you.”

Senior Tang Yihan patted my shoulder.

No matter what, painting a rosy picture was always fine.

If a genius like Xiao Han joined the club, it would be a golden signboard, attracting more newcomers.

“Then… can I find out what’s in the manager’s treasury first?”

I rubbed my hands, sidling up to Senior with a friendly tone.

I was already looking forward to it.

I was inclined to join, and if I could really get good stuff, why wouldn’t I?

Sign me up!
