Several ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍conflicts even occurred midway, and it ended up unhappy in the end.

Of ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍course, the so-called unhappy ending just meant that they didn't agree this time.

Under ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the hidden rules, they needed to make contact multiple times.

After ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍all, the witches here weren't qualified to decide such a big matter.

Soon, ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍this matter reached the Witch's Secret Realm Club and Wan Shi Wu.

After all, the Ice Throne Secret Realm instantly involved these two large clubs, and other clubs barely had some right to know.

In the Witch Academy, large clubs represented the interest binding of the top families among the pro-witch family forces, and other small clubs were just second-tier families.

To use an analogy, family relationships in the outside society directly affected the relationships between clubs in the Witch Academy.

This attack targeted the family forces of the entire witch territory.

Whether anti-witch, pro-witch, or neutral, they were all hit by map artillery.

Even if Wan Shi Wu, influenced by the pro-witch faction led by Ming Xueming, didn't plan to get involved in matters related to the Ice Throne Secret Realm.

After such a disturbance, Wan Shi Wu couldn't clear its relationship either.

After all, the Secret Realm was just an excuse; the root cause was still the Power Network released by the witch side.

Since the families accepted the witch's favor, they naturally had to bear other pressures.

The clubs of the Witch Academy understood that other Transcendent Academies wanted the Secret Realm for those fragments.

But the Secret Realm was not something these clubs could transfer just by saying so.

Anyway, the club side also needed someone to communicate with the academy.

What if... what if the witches relented, right?

Although this probability was too small, even impossible.

Of course, people from other Transcendent Academies didn't only have the option of wanting the Secret Realm.

They also wanted the witch side to hand over the culprits who caused all this, to seek justice for those who died in the Secret Realm!

As for who the culprits were... who else could it be?

Tan Han, Shi Ruizhi, Lucianne, Xiao You.

The academy side certainly couldn't push their own students out to suffer, and other Transcendent Academies didn't have that much face.

More importantly, these people were basically closely related to that Yang Yuehan.

Even if the academy side unprecedentedly said that conflicts between students should be resolved by themselves, they didn't have the confidence to deal with this assistant!

If it were really that easy to solve, would they still need to pursue these people and ask for symbolic compensation, delaying taking action?

The other party simply ignored you; any slight movement could be considered a dimensionality reduction attack.

However, there were other voices within the club.

Fundamentally... it was because they learned that Yang Yuehan's main body had left the Witch Academy and went to the world where that player was.

Putting aside how she could possibly do such a thing, just the fact that her main body wasn't there seemed to be something to make an issue of.

Of course, there was no lack of people with brains in the club.

That Yang Yuehan had the means to leave this world; either she had that ability herself, or she went over with the help of a Transcendent Witch.

Either way, they couldn't afford to provoke her.

Even if that Assistant Little Han only left her avatar behind, the avatar could leverage the relationship with mentors and beat them back to their original form in minutes.

It could be said that the reason for such a big divergence between these two groups of people was mainly because they knew too little intelligence.

The fearlessness of the ignorant and the foresight of the pessimists produced a huge divergence.

As the saying goes, where you sit determines how you think.

Those who approved of messing with that Assistant Little Han might want to use this to get rid of their opponents, and those who opposed taking action might have privately had interests that couldn't be exposed long ago.

After multiple rounds of fierce arguments, they barely reached a plan acceptable to all.

That was to test the waters.

They knew too little about that Assistant Little Han, basically being deterred and daring not to move the whole time.

But given the self-consolation that her main body wasn't in the academy, they also decided to touch and see the situation.

Moreover, they were only testing Tan Han and the others.

Based on the club's understanding of these people, plus professional profiling analysis, they didn't look like people who would complain as soon as they encountered problems.

If possible, they also hoped to exchange this conflict for a conflict between them and other Transcendent Academies, keeping themselves out of it.

But this situation probably wouldn't happen; Tan Han and the others wouldn't watch themselves be used as guns.

And not long after the club negotiated this conclusion.

Fu Xinglan and Tracy visited the Bakery Club together.

As newly promoted assistants in the Witch Academy not long ago, Fu Xinglan and Tracy would also be the assistants mainly promoted by the two major clubs and their nominal identity representatives.

Their arrival was also of extraordinary significance.

Moreover, these two met Yang Yuehan during the written test stage of the assistant assessment, plus further cooperation in the Expansion Realm, confirming their pro-witch stance, and had become the face of the pro-witch faction.

They even sought a contract badge.

Facts proved that the value and gold content of this badge were still rising constantly.

This time, the arrival of the two was naturally not to fulfill this promise.

As long as they weren't stupid, this promise had almost no possibility of being used.

Their arrival was to seek further cooperation.

With the Witch Academy announcing the construction of the Witch Branch Academy, they also quickly understood... the academy preparing to establish a branch academy wasn't a joke.

The branch academy established in the Expansion Realm didn't plan to recruit students from the Expansion Realm immediately; the reason wasn't specified.

Most likely related to the Spirit Vision talent that everyone in the Main World might awaken.

So after the branch academy is established, the first batch of students will move from the main campus.

Mainly lower-grade students and some upper-grade students.

This list of upper-grade students followed the mentors they chose.

After all, the branch academy also needs mentors.

However, because the branch academy in the Expansion Realm is still under construction, it must be under control, meaning one cannot leave the academy to go outside into the Expansion Realm.

But the academy will open a teleportation channel between the main campus and the branch academy, so students going to the new campus won't be unaccustomed.

Those clubs who originally got this news were happy for only a few seconds before falling into silence again.

Originally thought that waiting for another holiday, they could enter the Expansion Realm.

But no one expected that with academy control, they indeed arrived in the Expansion Realm, but it was no different from not arriving.

Moreover, the people entering and exiting the branch academy were still a minority of students and lower-grade students.

Although there was no lack of new generation family members among the lower grades, getting along well in the Expansion Realm also required qualifications and means.

What's more, they didn't have the opportunity to contact the market of the Expansion Realm.

The arrival of Fu Xinglan and Tracy this time was to test the waters.

Perhaps the news unintentionally revealed by that assistant could let them be one step ahead.

Of course, then there was probing the attitude regarding the Ice Throne Secret Realm.

The reason why the Ice Throne Secret Realm became this awkward situation, they believed, must also have the assistance of this assistant.

It's just that they really couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do.

Was it really just for fun?

Or was it to prevent those fragments from falling into anyone's hands?

These questions could only be clear after chatting with the other party.

Fu Xinglan and Tracy's arrival wasn't ostentatious; they even actively communicated and greeted before coming with sincerity.

They stayed in the Bakery Club for nearly two hours before leaving.

No one knew what they talked about during this period.

Not long after they returned, they urgently recalled the club members stationed in Qunluosen Wasteland.

Suddenly, the core of the Ice Throne Secret Realm really became an unattended treasure on the wasteland.

And it was placed in the border area of the Witch Territory.

This operation directly confused other Transcendent Academies.

They indeed proposed the demand to transfer the Secret Realm to them as compensation, but they never expected the other party to hand it over just like that.

Discerning people could see this was a witch's trap.

The witch also didn't explicitly state the transfer of the Secret Realm.

But such a bait placed here really made them drool too much!

Inside this Secret Realm were almost all the Transcendent fragments!

As for that Ancient Glacial Ice with extremely powerful combat power?

It couldn't make any waves in the hands of Transcendent Wizards.

As for what would be triggered by biting this bait, no one cared.

Anyway, those families had Transcendent Academies backing them.

They only knew that Wizards wanted the fragments inside the Secret Realm very much.

With such a rare opportunity, Transcendent Wizards might not refrain from acting personally.

Although this violated the unspoken rule of Transcendents not interfering, as long as the benefits were large enough, Wizards had no bottom line.

At this moment.

Bakery Club.

"No, Little Han... are you really prepared to use that avatar to confront Transcendent Wizards head-on?"

Shi Ruizhi still asked with some concern.

Although she asked about my avatar, my avatar represented my will.

"First declare one point, the opponent Transcendent Wizards won't step in so easily. Once caught, plenty of witches will chop off the hand they reach out. They also worry this is a witch's setup, so in the worst case... Transcendent Wizards taking action would only dare to probe."

"But spending so much effort, what is the meaning of doing this? I don't understand..."

"The moment the Secret Realm explodes in the hands of Transcendent Wizards, that is its meaning."

I said.

"Framing? Do witches need such a reason to act against Wizards?"

Tan Han asked puzzledly from the side.

"Not strictly framing, just a fuse."

"Fuse... is the explosion of one Secret Realm enough?"

Tan Han continued.

"What about adding a revived ancient race and a Grand Spellbook about to be formed? If that's not enough, what if a Void Crack accidentally kills a Wizard when the Grand Spellbook forms? Still not enough? What if the Ancient Glacial Ice race can use the Grand Spellbook to create an extremely low-cost but extremely high-value energy superconducting Transcendent material?"

"This... uh..."

Hearing what I said, whether Tan Han, Shi Ruizhi, or the Shop Manager and others, they all fell silent.

They were completely confused by this series of questions.

Is this still a fuse?

Why does it feel like this conflict alone can start a Transcendent War?

"Do you think this degree can already directly start a Transcendent War?"

I asked with a smile.

"You still underestimate the foundation of the Witch Race. Even so, they still dare not start a Transcendent War."

I said.

After all, I know very well that once they start it actively, it will be a complete loss situation.

They will die, and witches won't get the Main World either.

The key still lies in the Umbilicus Mundi.

But these belonged to the category that couldn't be said to Tan Han and the others.

"So this is the beginning of the Academy War?"

Tan Han probed.

"Is there really going to be an Academy War?"

The Shop Manager asked.

This wasn't just the Shop Manager who dared not believe it; the others were the same.

After all, Academy War... they still instinctively felt it was far from them.

Even though I had already revealed this concept and possibility to them last time, they still felt it was somewhat distant.

But... when they realized the fuse of this war was so close to them, it naturally gave them an unreal feeling.

This level of outrageousness was comparable to attending school nicely, participating in a study competition, and then causing a world war.

Especially Tan Han and the others; they created all this with their own hands!

"What do you think is the root cause of this war?"

I didn't answer the Shop Manager's question but asked directly about the deeper reason.

"This... this is completely a meaningless war planned by the academy... Our world now has no basis for the outbreak of war at all, nor has it reached the predicament where death must be used to baptize social order. Little Han... is this really necessary?"

Shop Manager Xia Li was still somewhat incredulous.

Although most of the atmosphere in the Witch Academy shouted "I want to see rivers of blood!", when it really came to this situation... they hesitated instead.

And the reason why Shop Manager Xia Li looked at me so earnestly was that she felt this fuse was facilitated by me single-handedly.

If I could change my mind, this meaningless war should be avoidable.

"Shop Manager... do you think so?"

I looked up at the Shop Manager, my sharp gaze meeting hers until she looked away, daring not to look at me anymore.

"Although I understand your original intention is good, Shop Manager, but... perhaps you have stayed in the academy for too long and forgotten the suffering of the outside world. All resources outside the academy are monopolized by families. The extreme imbalance of social resources makes it difficult for all ordinary families to move forward."

"This world has stepped into deformity. Everyone has become a walking dead maintaining the operation of society. Transcendent Academies that change a person's destiny are no longer opportunities that those bottom-level families can hope for. They are not stupid, just family, education, and resources made them lose at the starting line."

"This world we are in, the Main World... needs a reformation, a thorough change..."

Speaking of this, I paused.

Because the change I mentioned completely exceeded the scope of their understanding; that was the former glory of the Main World.

But now, there are three Transcendent reptiles hindering the development of the Main World.

Smacking the bugs on one's body, pain is inevitable.

"Mercy... is because those sufferings didn't befall oneself."
