I hitched a ride with my senior, holding on tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d flown with others before, but each senior had their own style. Tang Yihan was behind the broom this time, and I was a nervous wreck, scared I’d fall off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I get why everyone loved Bai Yu’s flying—so smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We ended up at a quiet little restaurant. I thought Xia Li, with her loud personality, would’ve gone for a wild place, like a bar or karaoke joint, where we’d drink and cut loose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turned out I was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We flew through the sky, and Tang Yihan kept boasting about their big win. I pieced together some details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole thing started because of Manager Xia Li. As for what’d she do? I should’ve guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nabbed this year’s top recruit, and she pulled it off. Tan Han, the hotshot, was already at the academy, getting settled. That poor little thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I checked the academy’s system. That top mission? Done. The person who completed it used their real name; I could see Xia Li and her crew weren’t listed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were probably just there to help, I guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Xia Li’s grin said she scored something good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What I didn’t know was Xia Li only got the deal Ying Shiqian set up—no extra perks. Her joy? All from tricking some San Angel School kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody knew why she was enjoying it so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is reservation-only,” she said, leading us in. “Booked it yesterday. Win or bust, tonight we’re eating big!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We walked a bit, then a guy in plain chef’s clothes came out, smiling big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xia Li! Long time!” he said. “Got your call yesterday and started prepping the menu right away. It’s gonna be good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Xia Li was buddies with the owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d never been to a fancy reservation-only spot like this. Total rookie. But my seniors seemed chill, so I figured it was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way!” Xia Li said, all excited. “What’s the main course? I’m dying here! Oh, and I brought the new guy—making this a welcome party too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Li grabbed my hand, pulling me forward. “Let me introduce you—this is… uh…” She froze, shooting an awkward glance at Ying Shiqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Xia Li hadn’t bothered learning my full name. She only knew the seniors called me Yuehan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Senior,” I said politely, bailing her out. “I’m Yang Yuehan. Just call me Yuehan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talk about a half-baked manager. She didn’t even ask my name beforehand? I only knew the owner’s name from the seniors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stung a bit, but it showed how little she cared about me. I was just a part-timer, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuehan, huh? Nice name,” Xia Li said. “You’re a freshman, right? Starting early at the academy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, wanted to get a feel for campus life,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Settling in okay? Mornings like today’s are rare. Don’t let it give you the wrong idea about the place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nah, I’m good,” I said quickly, fading into the background. Better not steal the spotlight. This party was for Xia Li’s win, even if she called it a welcome for me too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I toast her later? Did this world even do toasts? Probably not. I didn’t care much either way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the restaurant was small, with just a few seats. The kitchen was right up front, like they were cooking a show for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s the vibe? No wonder it was reservation-only and tucked away in this hidden spot. They didn’t care about foot traffic. Did they make bank off regulars alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe, like Xia Li, the owner had a side hustle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how chummy they were, I couldn’t help but wonder. What if the owner was even shadier than Xia Li?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I watched the owner head to her domain, then noticed a younger girl nearby, looking a bit green compared to her. Probably her apprentice. I’d still have to call her Senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed as out of place as me, though she hid it well, staying quiet behind the owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once we sat, the vibe loosened up. The seniors relaxed too. It felt less like a meal and became more like a chit-chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They asked about my food allergies and stuff. Pretty professional, at least so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the ingredient showcase. I had no clue what I was looking at—some kind of transcendence creatures. Not just meat soaked in high-energy transcendence solution, but actual high-level beings with their own powers. Now? Just food, about to hit my plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole fancy setup felt new and exciting, but I was more curious about how the food would taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuehan, want a drink? It’s low-alcohol, like a cocktail.” Tang Yihan, sitting next to me, plopped a fancy-looking bottle down. Had to be pricey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… maybe just a little,” I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go for it. Don’t hold back—Xia Li’s footing the bill,” she whispered, leaning in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guess she noticed I was quiet. With Ying Shiqian and Xia Li deep in their own chat, Tang Yihan slid over to talk to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuehan, see that meat in the display case?” she said, pointing. “When it comes out, dig in. It’s tasty and expensive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it,” I mumbled, nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>",890,"2026-06-03T10:21:31.651Z","2026-06-03T10:21:36.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","1c798ee91b18f7aee18546c2cb8bd0f01571598539d0ca2af24526e66aaf04c8","is-it-weird-for-a-guy-to-apply-to-a-witch-school-chapter-40","is-it-weird-for-a-guy-to-apply-to-a-witch-school-chapter-38",710,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fis-it-weird-for-a-guy-to-apply-to-a-witch-school-cover.jpg"]
