Chapter 520: 169. Huh?! Player?! _4

Suddenly learning that the vast universe has the existence of undying beings, it would be a lie to say there’s no pressure.

It was only at this moment that Noland Lee truly understood the weight of the saying, “There’s always someone better out there.”

“Denise… I will join the Silent Maiden.”

Noland picked up the stone dagger on the table and waved it:

“I’ll contact Professor Erica right now. Help me out by going to the Cat Society Manor and selling the Alchemy Weaponry to Mabel. Once I finish talking to Professor Erica, I’ll come find you.”

“Alright~”

When Denise heard that Noland was planning to join the Silent Maiden, her face showed a relieved and cheerful smile.

Even if a wild wizard is extremely talented and has strong extraordinary traits, they’re destined to face setbacks.

Denise’s biggest concern was that Noland would be too stubborn and unwilling to put down his pride from his rapid increase in strength to learn magic knowledge earnestly.

Now, that worry has been resolved.

Denise happily stood up, waved to Noland, and teleported away.

“I’m leaving~ Don’t be nervous when you meet the professor for the first time.”

Nervous… Noland’s mouth twitched slightly and he laughed, feeling like he was being treated like a child.

He looked at the curtain in the study room and used the “Mind Capture” he learned from the River of Mind: The Lower Scroll to pull the curtain up. He then infused a bit of soul energy into the stone dagger.

The process of entering the “online classroom” for the first time was quite similar. Basically, all wizard students would enter the dream world when they got sleepy and arrive at the various professors’ “online classrooms” in their dreams.

Normally, just following the guidance of drowsiness and falling asleep would complete this step.

However, for Noland, there was an extra step due to a system message reminder.

[System Message:]

[Your consciousness is about to enter the “Silent Yard.”]

[The “Silent Yard” synchronizes with the time flow of the natural world.]

[For every hour you stay in the “Silent Yard”, your energy points will decrease by 1.]

[Due to having the “Sword of Silence”, you will not be obstructed from entering the “Silent Yard” this time.]

[Do you confirm your entry?]

Drowsiness surged in Noland’s mind.

His eyelids were weakly resting on each other, but he never fell asleep as if there was a rope tied to him preventing him from sinking into the dreamscape.

The reason for this was the system message asking him, “Do you confirm your entry?”

As long as Noland didn’t nod, the system would prevent him from entering the dreamscape and the Silent Yard.

After confirming that the system was more powerful than the professor’s dreamscape, Noland felt much more at ease and silently recited, “Confirm entry.”

Noland maintained the posture of keeping his eyes closed.

He felt his consciousness leaving his body and flew straight upward.

A bright star shone in the darkness above his head. It resembled a watery blueberry, emitting a soft and tranquil indigo light. An invisible force came from the star, guiding Noland to fly towards it.

The star rapidly grew larger in Noland’s eyes, its surface covered in indigo mist like a sea of clouds.

Noland dived headfirst into the indigo mist.

Just as he wondered how long it would take to reach the bottom of the mist, it suddenly dispersed, and a bright, open-air swimming pool filled with silvery laughter appeared before him.

The pool’s area was massive, equivalent to an ordinary water park, surrounded by densely packed trees that emitted indigo light.

All the figures in the pool were concentrated at the edge. They were using magic to manipulate the water to turn it into various pet appearances.

“Hehehe~ Look at the dog I created, isn’t it cute~”

“Look at mine, look at mine~ I made a little kitten~”

“Such a cute little kitten~”

“It seems you’ve gotten bigger here again…”

“Eh! Don’t poke… so annoying…”

“Ah! Why is there a man there?!”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

“Ah!”

“Splish-splash…” Water splashed as many people paddled frantically, trying to reach the poolside as quickly as possible.

Noland looked at the group of girls in swimsuits playing in the water and moved his gaze away from their fair and smooth skin.

Embarrassed…

Why are there so many girls in swimsuits playing in the water here?

Could they be newly enrolled Wizard Students who just became witches?!

Noland recalled the erotic scene of girls playing in the water and thought of the phrase “80% of members were originally male,” getting a chill for no reason.

This Silent Yard is not silent at all.

Noland looked down at himself and quietly exhaled.

After his consciousness entered this place, he was wearing the formal attire he wore in the natural world, and his whole body appeared translucent.

Noland cast Deconstruction and refreshed his panel information.

There was an additional effect of “Illusion Avatar” on the status bar, which meant that his consciousness had entered an avatar created by illusion magic, allowing him to move normally in the Silent Yard.

“Who are you!” A girl in a large white bath towel shouted at Noland.

“How did you get in!” Another girl wrapped herself in a large white bath towel, her water-drenched neck glistening as she asked.

“Professor, Professor, there’s a stranger coming in!” A girl looked across the pool and called out to the tall woman who had just appeared.

“He’s our new member.” The calm female voice eased the alarmed girls.

“Pr-prof-professor… but he’s a man…”

“Why do we have male members…”

“That’s right, aren’t we supposed to turn female after obtaining the ‘Magic Power Container’…”

“I will explain the situation to you in class later. In the future, I will give him a separate area for entering and leaving the dreamscape. You will hardly meet him. This time is an exception. You may continue playing.”

The female professor’s voice turned towards Noland:

“Let’s go somewhere else to talk.”

After a crisp snap of her fingers, the scene before Noland’s eyes blurred for half a second and then returned to clarity.

At a glance, he had arrived in a study room overlooking the indigo forest. The swimming pool from before was deep within the indigo forest, far away from the current building.
