It seems she was able to get a week off entirely because Ariel silently took over her duties.
"Okay." Jiang Kehan quietly approached Ai Lier, and before the other could react, she suddenly brushed the hair from Ai Lier's forehead and ran away quickly.
"If you catch me, I can stay with you while you work until we finish, how about that?"
Hmph, Jiang Kehan is not an ungrateful little girl. Besides, as the president of the club, it is only right that she makes the members happy and shares some of the work!
As Ariel watched Jiang Kehan's retreating figure, she raised an eyebrow slightly, took out her crossbow from her personal space, and used magic to conjure a crossbow bolt imbued with spatial magic. She easily caught the giggling Jiang Kehan.
"Stop fooling around." She looked at Jiang Kehan, who was beaming with a helpless tone.
Jiang Kehan didn't say anything, but playfully nudged Ai Li'er's hand with her head, trying to make her take it back.
You're becoming more and more like a mischievous little cat ball lately; one day I'll have to buy a small cage to catch you.
Ai Lier tapped Jiang Kehan, withdrew her hand, and complained inwardly.
Her expression became much more serious, and she adopted a work posture that Jiang Kehan found somewhat frightening.
"Then those who are willing to accept defeat can come with me to handle the documents."
Jiang Kehan quickly regretted it. She was taken to a room specially set up by the academy for the six seats. The room was neatly organized, but the pile of documents, which was taller than her, still made her a little scared.
Good heavens, how can there be so many?
Jiang Kehan scanned the surroundings with a few quick clicks, then closed her eyes in resignation. Good, there were several more piles like this around.
At that moment, a wicked idea came to her, so she spoke to Ariel.
"What do you think about us bringing Li Hui over here?"
She looked at Ariel expectantly, hoping to become an accomplice, but Ariel just rolled her eyes and casually picked up a few documents and placed them in front of her.
Jiang Kehan took it curiously and carefully looked through it, but the contents made her lips twitch.
"A Test on the Effects of Large Consumptions of Magic Potions on a Little Witch's Strength - Applying to the Academy for Large Quantities of Potions"
Who came up with this plan, you little genius? Why is your head so pointy?
Jiang Kehan tried to keep her expression straight and then looked at the content behind her.
"On Whether the Combined Use of the Blessing and Weaving Factions Can Achieve the Effect of Bewitching a Witch"
"Looks pretty serious," Jiang Kehan nodded. Sure enough, not all witches like to do abstract things.
She continued reading, but what followed made her face darken, and she wanted to punch the little witch who wrote the article.
The other party then added unabashedly at the end, "We hope to invite the chief to be our experimental subject. Our first stop is the movie theater."
You made dumplings just for this dish of vinegar, right?
Jiang Kehan didn't even need to think; this guy was definitely a seasoned veteran from the upperclassmen.
Besides being responsible for large-scale events like the Academy Festival, the Academy seats also have the authority to draw funds from the Academy's public fund pool to invest in the Little Witch's whimsical ideas.
Jiang Kehan also used the funds to experiment with her alchemy ideas.
But it's clear that some seasoned veterans who have figured out the rules are no longer satisfied with just funds; they've set their sights on people.
“I think this application should be rejected.” Jiang Kehan nodded very seriously.
"How about this, you ask them if I can take over. I promise I'll get along with them perfectly."
I think it's more like a physical integration.
Ariel rolled her eyes at her and said irritably.
"Come on, at least half of the documents here involve applying for Li Hui, which is why I haven't called her over recently."
“We’re about to graduate, and this is the last chance we’ll have to get to know Li Hui. Or maybe it’s not just Li Hui, but you and I have also been applied to.”
"Ah, this," Jiang Kehan glanced at the documents around her, her lips twitching.
As expected of Li Hui, she is truly a heartthrob.
"These documents won't be handled according to the regulations either, will they?" Jiang Kehan felt utterly hopeless.
The witch was surprisingly serious about applying for funding, requiring detailed verification that the project matched the submitted documents before she could confirm.
It is said that a long time ago, a witch took advantage of everyone's kindness and applied for a lot of funds under different names, and finally made a huge mess of things.
It's like having a small hydrogen bomb in your home; ever since then, the review process has become much stricter.
Unfortunately, the other party accidentally blew up the little witch who wasn't even an adult yet.
Ariel is always busy because she has to keep an eye on other witches' projects while also serving as their teacher and providing guidance.
The reason why the other four, five, and six seats were not occupied was also due to this.
"Of course, we are paid, and the academy will give us extra rewards once we achieve results."
Ai Li'er knew exactly how much money Jiang Kehan needed. Ever since she repaid the association's funds, she had become even more frugal.
She was making final preparations for the duel.
"Waaah, is there any easier work?"
Jiang Kehan was really starting to lose her composure. Most of the documents submitted by these applicants would just be empty promises, let alone a satisfactory outcome; the projects themselves might even be fake.
Pure manual labor.
"Yes, for the school team selection, we need to order a batch of drinks from the Witch's Tavern, and we need a little witch to confirm it."
Knowing that Jiang Kehan wouldn't waste her time fooling around with other little witches, Aier took out a document she had prepared on the way and handed it to her.
Jiang Kehan took it and examined it carefully, mainly to confirm the types of drinks available. Some drinks intended for VIP guests might be out of stock and needed to be replaced in advance.
This is much more tiring than those manual labor jobs. Jiang Kehan immediately got excited and raised her hand, speaking up impatiently.
"Okay, okay, speaking of which, I've only been to a pub once."
Yes, that time I went to the bar to see Bai Bingbing, and she even bought me a glass of milk, which was quite delicious.
Aili smiled helplessly. She knew Jiang Kehan too well. She waved her hand casually, signaling her to leave quickly.
"I understand. Go and come back soon. I have other things to take care of here, so I won't keep you company."
"I'll bring you something delicious, hehe." Jiang Kehan pushed open the door and turned to Ai Lier.
Chapter 134 The Witch's Tavern
The Witch's Tavern is located in the capital, but Jiang Kehan went home first before going there. She didn't plan to go alone; she wanted someone to accompany her.
For Li Hui, who has nothing to do at home, this is a good choice.
She gently pushed open the door and peeked through the crack, trying to give Li Hui a surprise.
But today, the other person wasn't lying on the sofa with a newspaper in hand, drinking bitter coffee. Instead, Li Hui's door was ajar, revealing a blue light.
Ugh?
Jiang Kehan walked in, deliberately making some noise to make sure Li Hui would notice before curiously looking into the other person's room.
Li Hui should have drawn all the curtains; it was very dark inside. The azure light was probably coming from the terminal.
Jiang Kehan could only see very little with the naked eye. The other party's room seemed to be filled with a special barrier, and even though witches generally have night vision, it was difficult to see the details.
It looks quite ordinary.
Using the light emitted from the terminal, Jiang Kehan examined the general interior decoration.
It was surprisingly simple; besides a bed, there was only a bedside table and a bookshelf, not even a desk.
But it was more luxurious than she had expected. The bookshelf covered the entire wall and held at least thousands of different books, as well as rare spell scrolls.
Ah, no wonder Li Hui rarely lets people in; this place is practically a secret stash of money.
No, Jiang Kehan shook her head. If witches were to choose between witch gold of equal weight and these books, almost all of them would choose the books without hesitation.
The others opted for all of them.
This is so witchy.
Seeing that Li Hui did not respond, Jiang Kehan knocked on the door and spoke into it.
"Is Li Hui there? I need to talk to you about something."
Inside, Li Hui opened her eyes somewhat groggily. She was lying in the unknown solution, like a sealed elf.
She had a slight headache and couldn't help but cover her cheek as she looked at the terminal screen used to calculate time.
The top is like a water hourglass timer, but about a third of it has not yet fallen.
Ugh, my mouth is so dry, who's calling me?
Li Hui couldn't help but use magic to shock herself; the tingling pain made her much more awake.
She forced herself to sit up, yawned, picked up the cup of bitter coffee on the bedside table, and drank it all in one gulp.
Interestingly, bitter coffee is actually more like hot cocoa, with a rich aroma and a hint of sweetness, while the small white round sugar placed on the side is the source of the bitterness.
Li Hui casually picked up two and stuffed them into his mouth, speaking indistinctly.
"I'm out. Do you want some milk?"
"Mmm!" Jiang Kehan's eyes lit up, and she quickly called out, "I want it hot!"
Li Hui couldn't help but smile, but the tearing sensation inside her body quickly pulled her back to reality.
She frowned slightly, ignored the sensation, and emerged from the solution as if nothing had happened.
The damage to my body has been getting worse lately, and it looks like I'll have to go back to her for treatment again.
Tsk, this is a bit troublesome.
Li Hui scratched her head, took a small bottle of milk from the top of the bookshelf, and then thoughtfully heated it with magic. She already knew exactly what temperature Jiang Kehan liked.
After leaving the room, Li Hui handed the milk to Jiang Kehan and snapped her fingers, locking the door behind her.
"Hey, what's up?" She moved closer, her tone somewhat languid.
Jiang Kehan happily picked up the milk and sipped it, then excitedly extended an invitation.
"I'm planning to go to the Witch's Tavern and would like to find someone to accompany me. I wonder if you have time?"
"Of course I can, but can you really handle the alcohol?"
Li Hui looked at Jiang Kehan with a suspicious gaze. She was deeply impressed by Jiang Kehan's dancing when she was drunk. Hmm, it was very beautiful.
