"Because I am Jiang Kehan, a child who wants to hold onto the people around me..."
"So let all the pain come on me, until I can no longer lift you up, until I step into true death!"
"Otherwise, I will not stop for a moment, and I will not yield to it!"
Jiang Kehan fell backward, but with a slight flick of her fingertips, she sent the already powerless Li Hui flying.
You ask me, since demons know they cannot fly, do they know they can defy fate?
With a faint smile, Jiang Kehan stretched her hand out to the sky until she lost all sight.
Chapter 180, A1 Assessment and History Book
……
Am I still recalling that scene?
Jiang Kehan propped her cheek on her hand, looking at the dappled sunlight streaming through the window. The sunlight was gently cut by Liu Ye's slender hand, eventually transforming into a wondrous painting on the desk. Adorned with fantasy, it felt like returning to childhood.
She picked up her pen and began writing on the slightly rough white sandpaper, pausing from time to time to gaze absently at the scenery outside.
Jiang Kehan smiled faintly, put down her pen, and slowly stretched.
She still remembered the incredulous look in Ariel's eyes after she was resurrected, and the hand that Li Hui reached out to her.
Li Hui's eyes were full of smiles, with satisfaction and admiration. After Jiang Kehan took his hand, he gently hugged her and then pushed her to the glass wall so that she could see the glory that the victor should enjoy.
The audience outside didn't applaud. Their delicate chins were slightly agape, their expressions astonished, and some even rubbed their eyes, trying to prove they had seen wrong.
After confirming that their memories were accurate, most viewers couldn't help but gasp in shock, realizing that this was a significant contribution to global warming.
Huh? No? How did Jiang Kehan win?
I originally thought Li Hui was invincible, but I didn't expect there to be another expert. Quickly, please invite my second brother!
Wait, I don't think I have a second brother...
Seeing their expressions of existential doubt, Jiang Kehan burst out laughing on the spot, a few light tears welling up in her eyes, which she then wiped away.
She did not betray the blood and tears she had shed. The reason she was able to persevere through the trials and tribulations of battle was simply because she had been constantly honing herself in her daily life, and her methods could even be described as cruel.
From that little girl who was afraid of pain to Jiang Kehan who can now admit to suffering and refuse to give up, only she knows how many times she has gritted her teeth, shed tears, and regretted.
"Yes, I really, really didn't let myself down, really..."
Without a doubt, she won, and won brilliantly and beautifully, leaving everyone convinced of her superior skill.
So much so that when Wu Yuhan later announced in a rather high-profile manner that he would invite Jiang Kehan to join the Witch Organization's reserve force, other people's expressions were: "Damn, why don't I have Jiang Kehan's luck?"
"Damn it, how come Wu Yuhan always gets to steal all the good things?! You're not even human!"
Even though she shocked everyone into silence, leaving only stunned silence, she still had to sit here obediently and take the exam.
That's right, today is the day to get an A1 grade.
Jiang Kehan looked at the exam paper in front of her, feeling a bit of a toothache.
A1 stands for A1 Witch's Proof, which mainly tests witch knowledge and some basic spells. Although it is not difficult for witches, the questions are plentiful, making Jiang Kehan feel like she was taking an open-book political exam.
I knew all the answers to the questions, but my hands were still sore.
Fortunately, the A1 exam is not timed, giving her a chance to relax.
Jiang Kehan lay on the table, somewhat bored, and quietly read out the question, answering it herself.
Because the team members had to attend training, their A1 exams were scheduled earlier than planned. Moreover, the well-funded college said, "Don't be shy, each of you will have your own exam room, and we guarantee a comfortable environment!"
Yes, apart from the virtual creature acting as the proctor, Jiang Kehan was the only person in the hundreds of square meters of classroom.
It felt like countless eyes were watching her, especially since she was taking an exam, which gave her a bit of a creep.
Q: If the little witch were in a space with absolutely no food, how would she survive?
"Answer: Stop thinking, minimize the consumption of magic power, and wait for the witch's organization to rescue you."
Witches are top-tier omnivores; essentially, they eat only to replenish their magic power, which can dissolve anything.
In other words, "eating dirt at the end of the month" is actually feasible for witches!
However, in the imaginary land, soil is much more expensive than food. The witches' food is very high in energy, and if converted into soil, they would eat 2 to 3 tons per meal.
Hmm, a self-propelled humanoid digging princess, so could the academy be called New East?
Jiang Kehan's face looked somewhat comical. She felt that she had already integrated into the witch, at least in terms of her dry humor.
"However, I remember that as long as the magic power reaches 3000 points, the magic power dissipated in each magic power cycle can allow the witch to survive without eating or drinking, although there will be a slump similar to staying up all night."
"Sure enough, it doesn't make sense no matter how I think about it. Magic is obviously something that can be created out of nothing."
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but pat her stomach. Recently, her appetite had decreased a lot, from several large bowls of rice a day to small bowls, which was quite normal. The bowls were not washbasins, but bathtubs.
However, the food expenses actually increased instead of decreasing!
The accumulation of quantity of magic does not bring about a change in quality, but the scale of magic circulation within a witch's body can create higher quality magic.
This is why, in the presence of a great witch, the amount of magic power is the simplest and most effective measure of a witch's strength.
However, with higher quality, if one relies on food to supplement their diet, they would need more advanced creatures, such as the beloved dragon species, which would increase the price.
"It's expensive, but at least it's better than a fat pig."
Jiang Kehan sighed softly and picked up her pen again to answer the questions. The questions covered a wide range of topics, so much so that she couldn't help but exclaim, "I never knew I could encounter this kind of situation!"
She knew that the alien races turned pale at the mention of A1; without the witch's photographic memory, this would be incredibly difficult.
Moreover, many of the questions require practice to understand the details, further increasing the difficulty of scoring.
For example, in this question.
Looking at the familiar alchemy questions, Jiang Kehan felt that the exam paper suddenly looked much clearer and more attractive.
Q: When making a potion, what is added first, and what steps are required?
"A: The first thing to add is the substrate prepared according to the type of potion to be brewed. For example, Angel's Tears can be used as a substrate for restorative potions. However, before adding the substrate, you must pay attention to the different maintenance conditions required for different substrates..."
In alchemy courses, teachers only mention the need for a substrate, but don't explain the conditions for maintaining that substrate—this knowledge needs to be purchased separately.
Jiang Kehan wasted thousands of Witch Gold before she finally learned the tricky part that the maintenance conditions differed depending on the amount of the same substrate.
All I can say is that if you're going to use a tech-driven mindset to play with witch alchemy, you've got this for life.
Most of the concepts involved are very abstract. For example, when making cat ear potions, you have to close your eyes and pray to the cat ear god to succeed.
The Cat-Eared God is a cat ball...
The reason why the success rate of making cat ear potions is only one-third is simply because this cat ball is often in a bad mood and rejects one from time to time.
But the materials from a failed project won't come back, and there's no compensation.
Jiang Kehan was somewhat resentful. She had prepared ten sets of materials, but they all failed. She was hoping to see a cat-ear version of Li Hui!
After the exam, Jiang Kehan handed the test paper to the virtual creature. It was as if the creature had a scanner in its eyes, and it finished correcting everything after flipping through the pages.
"Perfect score, I hope you keep up the good work." Its voice had a slight electromagnetic tone, like the faint noise of a radio switching stations in the 19th century.
However, while handing Jiang Kehan a badge representing her A1 certificate, it also gave her a very thick red book.
"Welcome to the witch society and to becoming a qualified witch, Jiang Kehan."
Jiang Kehan took the badge and carefully placed it in the small room in her personal space where she stored precious items. Then she looked at the book with curiosity.
The book is titled "A Simple History of Witches"—by the Great Second Seat, Lilith Adwick.
Chapter 181 A Brief History of the Witch and the Staff
Don't be fooled by the fact that both the Great Chief and the Second Seat are named Lilith; in reality, one is the Farron Witch and the other is the America Witch.
To distinguish between the two, the great chief of Fran is usually referred to as Shining Lilith, while America's is referred to as Little Lilith.
Because Little Lilith is really small.
She's not short; she's the purest talent. As the youngest member of the group, her strength firmly holds second place, almost unshakeable.
The third seat belongs to Liang Hua of the Kongdu Dahua Empire.
These three are far superior to the other greats, and can be considered to be in their own tier.
Therefore, France, America, and Dahua Kong can all be considered powerful nations capable of interfering with the Witch Organization.
In addition, there is the British Empire with the largest number of great powers, the Cherry Blossom Empire with the deepest ties to the Silver Sea and the Void, and the Sin City Empire, which is the most open and advocates accepting and transforming witches.
These six empires constitute the basic framework of the witch world, each following a distinct path of civilization.
Jiang Kehan opened the book written by Little Lilith with a hint of curiosity, but the message in the insert made her lose her composure.
"Witches are all lazy, and Greatness is especially lazy."
Uh, I didn't see anything.
Jiang Kehan was covered in sweat, looking helplessly at the virtual creature with an innocent expression.
You truly are great; you dare to speak your mind. But even if you dare to say it, I dare not watch.
Don't blame Jiang Kehan for being naive. For someone as great as him, as long as there's even the slightest connection in his mind, the other party will be able to sense it.
This can't even be called a rude rebuke; it's like pointing fingers and cursing, and it's not just Little Lilith cursing; she's dragging the other witches into it too.
It can only be said that she dared to write this sentence directly in "A Simple History of Witches," which is guaranteed to be obtained after passing the A1 exam, which shows that she herself is very strong.
However, Jiang Kehan was also very curious about what the other great people had done to make her feel such resentment.
"It's alright," the virtual creature seemed to be smiling.
"Everyone else has the same expression as you."
"Haha." Jiang Kehan chuckled awkwardly, then continued flipping through the pages.
As the title suggests, it simply recounts the major historical changes and corresponding events of witches, somewhat like a history textbook from my previous life. Although it is not very detailed, it can give you a general idea of what witches are like.
However, Lilith's writing is of a very high standard; she can often capture the grandeur of history and the times in just a few concise sentences.
For example, when mentioning the Second World War of Witches, she described it like this: "They did not die, but turned into new paths to guide future generations to know that this is the way."
Jiang Kehan flipped through the pages, her fingers unconsciously tightening, and her expression gradually becoming serious.
It was as if she wasn't reading words, but rather the beliefs that countless witches expressed through their own destruction.
If we include modern times, witches can be divided into five eras.
