"Haha, Miss Shanlin, look, aren't they very ladylike?"
Shan Lin couldn't help but chuckle softly, her eyebrows curving as if she had been amused.
"I didn't expect the academy seats this year to be so interesting. But don't be too reserved. I've seen so many witches, and many of them have their own unique personalities."
Upon hearing this, the three people on the sofa visibly relaxed, but they were no longer as unrestrained as before.
After everyone found a seat, Ariel took out the desserts and drinks she had prepared in advance and placed them on the table, reverting to her usual elegant demeanor.
"On behalf of the college, we welcome you, Miss Shanlin."
"However, in addition to showing you around, we would also like to get some of your help, such as answering some of our questions."
Ariel's expression was very sincere. The best way to treat a great witch is to be sincere. The more powerful the witch, the more she likes to speak her mind.
For them, they are the ones who decide their own destiny, and only transactions with clearly marked prices are the greatest respect for each other.
"Of course, that's exactly why I came here." Shan Lin picked up the glass of wine and put it to her lips, but didn't drink it, letting her breath leave a trace on the liquid.
"However, I may not answer questions involving paid knowledge or privacy."
She looked at the group with a sly smile, her tone relaxed. This time, unlike the reward she gave Jiang Kehan for completing the task, she didn't answer every question. Some things she said she would have to figure out for herself.
Moreover, Shanlin has a somewhat wicked sense of humor; rather than forcing growth, she prefers to see the little witch, caught in a dilemma, figure out of her own problems.
Well, this includes, but is not limited to, deliberately pointing out a problem, and then shutting up when the other person is most looking forward to it, leaving the other person scratching their head in frustration.
This is interesting, isn't it? Shanlin thought to herself, with a mischievous glint in her eye.
During a break in their conversation, Jiang Kehan quietly moved closer to Ai Lier and asked in a low voice.
"Um, what kind of people are An Meng and Nuo Xi?" She was still very concerned about the situation of her team.
Ariel gave a subtle look, carefully choosing her words.
“They… all have their own unique characteristics. I think we might need to get to know them better after a few more meetings.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Kehan couldn't help but steal a glance at the two of them, feeling a little uneasy.
In the world of witches, the compliment of being "unique" is not a good one—you know, witches are already unique enough, so to be called "unique" among witches is definitely a master among masters!

"Then I'll find a chance to talk to them later." Jiang Kehan shrugged, a smile playing on her lips. "As the captain of the school team..."
Ariel felt the other person's warm breath gently brush against her cheek, and her ears involuntarily turned red. She suppressed the flutter in her heart and tried her best to maintain a serious tone.
"Of course, I have great faith in you, but are you already confident enough to take the captain's position from Li Hui?"
Kehan has been increasingly displaying her "succubus nature" lately, and sometimes I even doubt whether she is a proper witch—her seductive skills are even more deadly than those of a real succubus.
Ai Li'er appeared normal, but she felt uneasy inside. Jiang Kehan's aloofness was hard for her to bear.
If we weren't best friends, I'd already want to throw you on the bed and show you what it means to keep your distance.
Ai Li'er secretly rolled her eyes at Jiang Kehan, leaving the latter looking completely bewildered.
However, Jiang Kehan didn't pay much attention to it—they were already used to these little squabbles between them. As long as it wasn't something said directly, she didn't think it was a big deal.
She straightened her chest, her tone tinged with pride.
"Of course! This time I'm going to compete fairly with Li Hui in the selection, and show her that I'm a different person now!"
—Let her know that I am finally worthy to hold her hand!
However, there was something Jiang Kehan didn't say aloud. Ever since learning that Li Hui was leaving the Imaginary Land for a year, she had been filled with unease. She desperately wanted to do something to calm her restless heart, such as... defeating Li Hui in this competition.
No one understood Li Hui better than her. That guy who always seemed so calm and collected was actually proud and stubborn at heart.
As long as Li Hui experiences defeat, it will surely leave her with a lingering sense of satisfaction.
"Good luck." Aili'er said with a mischievous smile. She had witnessed Li Hui's true strength. Although she admitted that Jiang Kehan was ridiculously strong now, she knew even more clearly that Li Hui could definitely bring Jiang Kehan endless surprises.
In particular, given Li Hui's personality, out of respect for others, he would absolutely not hold back in such a formal setting.
Ariel was already eagerly anticipating the real showdown between these two freaks; witches were born with a thirst for blood.
……
……
Shan Lin didn't stay at the academy for long. After answering the questions for the group, she casually strolled around the academy and then left.
Before leaving, she specifically asked Jiang Kehan for the contact information of their teacher, Lü Xiangtong.
Obviously, some adult transactions are not suitable for these children to know about.
After the other party left, Li Hui and Ai Li'er also prepared to leave. As the chief and second-in-command, and especially since Li Hui would also be participating in the selection, they had a lot of preparations to make.
Li Hui wanted to invite Jiang Kehan to come along, but was politely declined. Jiang Kehan, seeing An Meng and Nuo Xi deep in thought, chose to stay.
But at this moment, she still didn't know what she was going to face.
"Want to take a walk together? After all, we'll be teammates soon."
Jiang Kehan tilted her head, trying her best to look harmless, and spoke to the two of them.
"Learning more now will definitely be helpful in the future. And I'm also looking forward to competing with you guys in the selection competition."
The two women's reactions were somewhat unexpected for Jiang Kehan. The seemingly ladylike An Meng nodded decisively, looking at Jiang Kehan with a hint of anticipation.
Nuoxi, however, remained calm, yawning as if she hadn't fully woken up, but she didn't refuse.
Uh, it seems like these two are a bit withdrawn. Looking at their slightly distant reactions, Jiang Kehan also felt like she was about to become withdrawn herself.
But then I thought about it again, and this is the normal way witches interact—they are never very interested in strangers, unless they are in a tavern.
But Jiang Kehan has a knack for breaking down distance, and it works almost every time!
Without saying a word, she took one of them in each hand, chuckled, and pulled them towards the garden.
"Then let's not just stand here. Let's go to the garden and find a place to sit down and talk slowly. We can also discuss the issues that Shanlin raised. After all, we're both geniuses, aren't we?"
Hmph, she learned this trick from Li Hui. To deal with a witch, you have to take the initiative!
After all, it stems from an unspoken trust among witches; they are quite tolerant of their own kind. The key is for someone to take the first step.
Perhaps this is what it means to be favored and therefore act recklessly?
Jiang Kehan thought to herself, but inwardly she thought to herself, "Where did Li Hui learn to be so skilled? I must ask him sometime."
She doesn't really care!
Jiang Kehan almost laughed at her own wild thoughts. She felt the breeze blowing past her and watched the falling leaves, as if she had grasped the traces of time.
After a brief moment of surprise, An Meng took the initiative to hold Jiang Kehan's hand tightly, with a peculiar smile on her face.
Isn't this the adventure I've been waiting for? But, is her magical power real?!
Due to the unique sensitivity of the cult faction, almost the instant she grasped Jiang Kehan's hand, An Meng felt a tremendous magical force seemingly staring at her.
She was like a lone sail adrift at sea, powerless and lost.
But what shocked her the most was not Jiang Kehan's amazing magical power—after all, having stayed in the academy for so long, she had heard of this person's strangeness.
What truly alarmed An Meng was that Nuo Xi, the sixth seat holder, had a magic power level that was only about half that of Jiang Ke Han!
How exactly did Nuoxi manage to maintain her sixth-place position?
An Meng was somewhat puzzled, but noticed that Nuo Xi, whom she was looking at, only gave her a forced smile, and there seemed to be nothing to be wary of.
Everyone has secrets, which is equivalent to no one having secrets. It seems like we'll get along very well.
An Meng smiled at Nuo Xi, then used magic to take out her earphones again, but this time she listened to You Ran's music.
The seemingly mysterious Nuoxi had only one thing on her mind right now. She looked at Jiang Kehan with some admiration, opened her mouth but then closed it helplessly, thinking with a hint of envy.
When will I be as brave as Jiang Kehan? She actually dared to hold the hand of a witch she had just met! That's amazing!
Yes, Nuoxi is genuinely socially awkward.
Jiang Kehan was unaware of their hidden thoughts. After arriving at the garden, she found a suitable spot and pulled the two of them to sit down. She then took out several bottles of her own homemade wine from her personal space and spoke with a touch of extravagance.
"Come on, let's drink and discuss!" (Seven two robes three dark sijiu (^seven) deleted like)
Actually, she wanted to take advantage of the alcohol to get to know them better. She brewed these wines herself, so she naturally knew which ones were high-proof and which ones were low-proof.
Unless someone can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, I am invincible!
Jiang Kehan poured some drinks for the two of them with a mischievous smile.
Chapter 155 Self-Introduction
The clear liquor traced a graceful arc in the air, a gentle breeze carrying away the fine droplets of liquor, scattering the sunlight into dappled patterns of light and shadow.
The atmosphere among the three gradually warmed up, and as they felt the gentle breeze ruffling their hair, the invisible barrier between them dissipated without them even realizing it.
Jiang Kehan handed the wine glasses to An Meng and Nuo Xi, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "How about... we introduce ourselves first?"
An Meng took the wine glass, and after hearing Jiang Kehan's words, she froze, looking at her with some surprise.
"Although you are very beautiful, isn't this a bit too direct, Miss Jiang?" she thought to herself.
She originally thought it was just an ordinary gathering where everyone would drink, joke around, and spend the time laughing and playing around—this was the normal way witches socialized.
After all, witches are like twinkling stars in the night sky; although they can illuminate each other, they always maintain a distance that is neither too close nor too distant.
They are used to establishing initial contact through multiple, non-consecutive meetings, rather than going straight to the point like Jiang Kehan.
It's not that I'm being presumptuous, it's just... a bit unexpected.
Since Jiang Kehan dared to be so direct, it meant she was prepared to open up first, which surprised An Meng the most.
Why could Jiang Kehan say such un-"witch-like" things so naturally? It's just so unlike a witch's style!
After An Meng took off her headphones and put them back together, the spikes on them actually retracted and then began to shrink, turning into a small ball the size of a red bean.
She picked up the small ball and put it into the slot on her terminal before looking at Jiang Kehan seriously.
"Are you sure? Isn't this a bit too direct?" (Li Yi, Er Yilin, Lin Yan)
Nuoxi, who was next to her, also took the wine glass, took a small sip, and looked at the two of them curiously. As a pure social phobia, she was completely unaware of the social etiquette among witches.
Therefore, she just thought Jiang Kehan looked cool when he said those words.
"Well, let me introduce myself. I am Jiang Kehan, the Little Witch. My current magic power is over 2000. My favorite spell schools are Arcane, Blessing, and Origin."
An Meng and Nuo Xi couldn't help but exchange a glance and gasp.
