I seem to have said some overstepping words. War... no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like something you can influence, Little Han. Is this the academy's will?"

"Shop ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Manager There's no need for this. Asking whose will this war is has no meaning. This is a problem of non-coexistence that has arisen between Transcendent Academies and Transcendent races. Transcendent power determines that the struggle is carried out in a bloody and violent way. Under the irresistible general trend... it's better to think about what role one should play in this war affecting the entire academy."

I didn't entangle too much with the Shop Manager on this issue.

The qualities overflowing from past education would hinder the development of this world because the Shop Manager hasn't realized what Transcendent Academies represent.

They represent irreconcilable struggles for survival between races.

No one is innocent.

They want to kill me, and I also want to kill them.

It's just a pity that I have indeed killed quite a few people of other races, but they haven't killed me even once.

I don't blame the Shop Manager for asking such a question.

Several people present had such doubts, but only the Shop Manager asked it.

Watching the figure of my avatar leaving, the few people also fell into silence.

"Speaking of which... since what's going to happen cannot be stopped, should we prepare something for self-defense first?"

Tan Han broke this atmosphere first and put forward a constructive suggestion.

"What are you buying this for? After this holiday, Tan Han, you will still be a second-year student, right?"

Shi Ruizhi said: "Aren't lower-grade students going to the branch academy in the Expansion Realm? I think this is the academy's means to avoid lower-grade students who haven't mastered much combat power dying unnecessarily on the battlefield, right?"

"I don't know how the academy will arrange students for combat when the time comes..."

The Shop Manager also sighed on the side and said: "According to some academy wars initiated by small Transcendent Academies I know, basically all members are in combat readiness. Fleeing or avoiding battle are serious violations..."

"Hah? Wait... Shop Manager, how do you know these?"

Shi Ruizhi looked at the Shop Manager with a shocked face:

"Did an academy war happen when you were studying, Shop Manager? Or did you hear it from your batch of seniors?"

"How is that possible? Large Transcendent Academies like those top academies, including the Witch Academy, rarely have academy wars, at least I haven't heard of any."

The Shop Manager shook her head and said: "But many small Transcendent Academies and affiliated academies around the world start academy wars for various reasons... The change in the number of applications for Transcendent Academies each session basically belongs to that academy having finished off its students, and then the academy was completely delisted..."

"Ah? There is such a thing? How come I don't know anything?"

"Small Transcendent Academies... it's normal that you don't know. If I hadn't taken the wrong mission because I was short of money while in school, accepting a war mercenary mission... I wouldn't have thought there were still regions in our world constantly at war."

The Shop Manager explained.

Of course, this was her embellished version.

She took this mission out of curiosity back then.

Whether war or mercenary, these terms were very exciting for the then hot-blooded witch student.

And the final result...

"Precisely because I participated, but only once, I understand the cruelty of academy wars. Small Transcendent Academies are like this; large Transcendent Academies are truly rivers of blood in the literal sense."

"Wu... why didn't you explain to Big Sis Little Han like this just now, Shop Manager? I feel Big Sis Little Han might have misunderstood you, Shop Manager."

"It's fine... I can't persuade anything at this time, right? Moreover, this doesn't count as a misunderstanding... Compared to Little Han, I am indeed an incompetent person."

***

After leaving the Bakery Club, I planned to find Academy Head Mei.

The Ice Throne Secret Realm was just an event created by a Destiny Node.

When the Academy Head let me do it myself, she gave me great autonomy.

Meaning... no matter how big the commotion, it doesn't matter.

After all, the Academy Head proposed the upper limit as an Academy War.

What could be worse than a full-scale war?

And the Academy Head and others also expected such a battle to warm up for the upcoming reforms in the Main World.

Since the Academy Head is willing to gamble in advance, reserving a hope for Fool's Dream.

Hoping to observe the movement of the World Will and the abnormal sounds of the Umbilicus Mundi through this, I naturally won't let the Academy Head down.

The Ancient Glacial Ice is a cover.

The revelation born from shaping life with Ancient Glacial Ice is the foreshadowing I prepared for Fool's Dream to achieve life.

Destiny Gazing Technique locating the Umbilicus Mundi, Dream State Calamity hard-controlling the Transcendents of the Core Realm.

The witch's strategy for plotting the Main World is destined to be an onslaught.

This time I went to find Academy Head Mei to communicate the details of the plan with the Academy Head.

After all, a plan is a plan, and execution is execution.

But the main thing is actually... the Academy Head tacitly allowed me to contact enemies at the Transcendent level, contacting them in the posture of Ancient Glacial Ice.

When I arrived at Academy Head Mei's office, the Academy Head had already left an avatar waiting for me here under my advance contact.

As for her main body, she was busy with topics related to the Destiny Gazing Technique.

However, what surprised me very much was...

This time, the witches I was familiar with were not in the Academy Head's office, and the Destiny Gazing Technique instrument had also been moved away, leaving it empty.

But besides Academy Head Mei's avatar, there was also an... Anti-Witch?

"Hi Little Han, haven't seen you for some days."

"Mn? Why are you here?"

Slightly serious, my head subconsciously tilted back a bit, then I asked.

"Little Han, your words are a bit hurtful. Don't you look forward to me coming over?"

Cheryl pretended to be sad and said.

"I think that's enough from you. I don't think any witch would look forward to seeing you."

Academy Head Mei added a knife from the side at this moment.

"Alright... it seems Little Han didn't have fun in the Game World? Otherwise, you wouldn't have this attitude..."

Cheryl sighed, bringing up this topic first.

"Indeed can't be considered happy... but the main thing I came for this time is not this matter."

I shook my head and ended this topic.

"Mn, Little Han came to find me first. You are just an accident."

Academy Head Mei Linde stood up and swept away this figure sitting on a corner of her desk.

"Alright, alright I'm an accident You guys chat."

Cheryl, swept away from where she sat by Mei Linde, turned around and sat directly on Mei Linde's office chair, then assumed a posture of "you go first".

"You... fine, I'm an avatar, as you wish."

Mei Linde didn't argue too much about this, mainly because even if it wasn't an avatar, she couldn't do much about this Anti-Witch.

At this moment, Cheryl already looked like she was watching a show the whole time.

Academy Head Mei led me to the more comfortable sofa on the side.

"Did Little Han come as an avatar this time too?"

"Yes, that's right. The main body is relatively busy."

"Still busy? Not taking a break?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Academy Head Mei asked with concern incidentally, completely disregarding that she was also very busy usually.

"It's the kind of busy that rests."

"She's busy accompanying her partner. Old Witch Mei wouldn't have failed to understand what Little Han meant because she doesn't have a partner, right?"

Cheryl interjected with a smile.

"No need for your mouth here."

Mei Linde looked up and glared at Cheryl, but was only dissatisfied with this address.

It seems necessary to curb the spread of this address.

But fortunately, Little Han wouldn't call her that.

Still Little Han is sensible!

"Does Little Han have something again this time? Seeing the message you sent me didn't say anything specific, I just let the avatar wait here."

"Indeed nothing much, just matters concerning the Ice Throne Secret Realm."

While speaking, I took out a palm-sized crystal and played with it in my hand.

"Ready to act?"

Hearing me mention this matter, Academy Head Mei also became interested, "Did the club finally make you unhappy?"

"No, just a bit too sensible, daring not to act against me, but I can't wait anymore."

I shook my head and said, "The Ice Throne Secret Realm hindered the normal implementation of three of my plans at once. Dragging on... mn, no big deal, but I just want to find something to do."

Hearing my words, Academy Head Mei also pulled open the Seed of Great Knowledge.

Now Academy Head Mei is also used to using this to obtain information on various aspects of the academy, mainly for convenience.

"Mn... the club actually decided to let go of the Secret Realm Core?"

The Academy Head was somewhat surprised.

As the Academy Head, she naturally had a rough idea of what doing so would trigger, "Are you preparing to target the outside?"

"That's right. Doing so might trigger friction between the Witch Academy and other academies. It should bring quite a lot of trouble to the academy, right?"

After I finished speaking, before Academy Head Mei could reply, a voice from the side sounded again:

"What trouble? Don't listen to that Old Witch Mei's nonsense. Listen to me, the academy has plenty of witches who will settle troubles for you! And any trouble! If not settled, I'll do it personally!"

"Cough... Cough mn! No need for you."

Academy Head Mei coughed lightly, rolled her eyes at Cheryl, and then said: "I haven't said anything yet, how can you assume my decision? And did I say this is trouble? The Witch Academy is not afraid of friction, let alone conflict."

"Good, good, good. Then I'll watch the show from the side."

Cheryl smiled, not embarrassed at all by being refuted, even seemingly happy to facilitate this situation.

"Let's return to the main topic, Little Han."

Without Cheryl's interruption, Academy Head Mei continued to discuss the topic just now with me.

"Mn, then I want to ask, in the current situation, taking Wizards as an example, will their Transcendent Wizards intervene in this matter? Just based on those fragments in the Secret Realm."

"No, they won't even touch those fragments. For now, they will only use these things to directly exchange for the Myriad Worlds Terminal with those people in the Game World."

Academy Head Mei explained.

"Keeping promises so well? I thought these fragments were bait to catch those players, and finally take everything."

"Although the impression Wizards give witches is indeed not very good, some things have to be said separately. The Wizard's power system adheres to Equivalent Exchange. This rule has a status and concept basically equivalent to the Witch's Contract. So once Wizards use the Equivalent Exchange Rule to exchange for the Myriad Worlds Terminal with the Game World, Wizards will absolutely not take a bit more."

"Of course, if the Game World does not abide by the rules, they can also enforce it according to the rules, because the Equivalent Exchange Rule is executed under the Will of Wizards. This execution power is enough to collide with the binding force of the Transcendent Non-Interference Contract we signed with them."

"Ah?"

I let out a puzzled sound.

This really opened my eyes.

The collision between execution power and binding force... really abstract.

"Then if a conflict occurs between the two... who to listen to? Listen to whoever is stronger?"

I continued.

"In most cases, it is mediation. Otherwise, favoring any side is shaking the foundation of the other race, which will cause a war between Transcendent races. Under normal circumstances, rules of absolute conflict cannot be established. Those Wizards can complete the Equivalent Exchange Rule by exploiting loopholes. After all, Transcendent Non-Interference is only a partial restriction, leaving room. But how to execute it in the end... mainly depends on how the conflicting party, that is, our Witch Academy, responds."

"Uh... wait a minute!"

Hearing the Academy Head say this, I thought of something not quite right, "This Equivalent Exchange executes and affects both parties of the exchange, but the witch is a third party, so... as long as the equivalent balance is not destroyed, even if the transaction itself is destroyed, witches essentially don't need to fear starting a race war, right?"

"Smart! Hearing the name and concept, you understand how to deal with it."

Academy Head Mei said with a smile.

Although this matter cannot be said to be very important, since it was mentioned, Mei Linde naturally had to say something.

After all, Little Han's avatars are all over the Game World.

Some things that shouldn't be touched, naturally don't touch.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Just understanding the Wizard's Equivalent Exchange Rule is enough; there's no need to deliberately research it."

Academy Head Mei forcibly corrected the topic that had gone astray, "Let's talk about what was just now. Your question just now was to ask to what extent Transcendent Wizards need to be pushed to intervene in this matter, right?"

"Mn."

I simply nodded and admitted.

Mei Linde naturally knew what this was for, the fuse for the beginning of the Academy War.

This is not sudden, and this idea has become a consensus among many witches.

Many witches have the idea of starting a war, but as the Academy Head, she cannot disregard the overall situation like this.

And what they are discussing now is... the weight of this fuse, and the range of detonation.

"Just now, you said the Ice Throne Secret Realm blocked the progress of at least three of your plans. Is this the chip you prepared to pull Transcendent Wizards into the arena?"

Academy Head Mei threw the topic back to me again.

For the Academy Head, as long as it is not a Transcendent War, even an Academy War belongs to the level of playing house.

No wonder she shows such indifference at this moment.

Perhaps only witches can remain calm about such things.
