One was the owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel the owner’s apprentice cringing, totally helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I got a paid half-day off. Nothing to do this afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just some small chores at the shop, then lock up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, Yuehan, hold up,” Tang Yihan called as I was about to clock out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s up, Senior?” I turned, eyeing her warily. She wasn’t about to make me work overtime, was she? Paid half-day or not, extra hours meant extra pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re in luck,” she said with a sly grin, like I’d hit the jackpot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lucky? How?” I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, take this.” She handed me a glowing orb, weightless and soft, its light easy on the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this?” I asked, holding it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spell Book. Nabbed it from Xia Li’s stash while she was in a good mood. It’s the Cleaning Charm we talked about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way!” My eyes widened. This was a Spell Book? I’d pictured a book-book, not… this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yup. Use it quickly. It’ll fade outside its storage container,” she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, but how?” I asked, a little panicked. I was eager but clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Easy. Just smack it onto yourself—head, chest, wherever,” she said, miming the motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it?” I was skeptical but trusted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I held the glowing orb loosely, worried it might slip through my fingers despite its weightlessness. Following Tang Yihan’s advice, I pressed it to my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orb dissolved, scattering light like tiny threads sinking into me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No big sensation at first. Then—a faint connection, like it was always part of me. And a rush of info hit my brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t sweat it,” Tang Yihan said, calm as ever. “Spell Books usually need a manual, but Xia Li’s come with built-in instructions. Feel it out. Make it second nature. Spells are just tools you wield.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded, barely listening, too busy processing the flood of info.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was wild—having a manual beamed straight into your head. Weird, but handy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You good?” Tang Yihan asked, noticing me snap out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, thanks, Senior,” I said, meaning it. This was my first real spell. The badge thing didn’t count. This was mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, it was just a utility spell, no firepower, but still—a spell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem,” she said with a grin. “But now you’re on dish duty for the baking tools.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal!” I nodded. I’d scrub them all if I had to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept that to myself, though. No need to overpromise and get stuck with extra work. Keeping your word is harder than it sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying bye to Tang Yihan, I headed back to my dorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a long walk, but I couldn’t wait to try the Cleaning Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manual in my head explained it all, but I had to test it myself. No way I could hold off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Per the instructions, you cast spells with mental focus, letting the spell draw mana on its own. There is no need to mess with mana directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did the spell use mana? The manual didn’t say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt my dormant mana core stir, a surge of energy flowing into the Cleaning Charm in some mysterious way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is what casting feels like?” I muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spell activated, and I could feel the power under my control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I flicked on my Psi-vision, watching it all: from my mana core to the spell, to this soft, pliable energy I could now bend at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shift from mana to spell was crazy complicated, but the power in my hands wasn’t raw mana anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping the Cleaning Charm going barely tapped my mana core. It felt like my mana was refilling as fast as it drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I had to use Psi-vision to say which was scarier—mana core or spell—I’d pick the core. The Cleaning Charm was complex, sure, and Psi-vision’s feedback left me stumped. But they were different kinds of confusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mana core was like a stripped-down equation, simple but terrifying, unfolding into a mind-boggling mess of calculations. The spell? It was intricate too, but I could pick out bits that seemed familiar, like I could maybe grasp them with my old theory knowledge—if I had years to study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t get either yet, but the manual let me use the spell anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Practice beats theory every time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried the Cleaning Charm on my clothes. Dust, visible or not, vanished in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manual had a disclaimer, though: if the spell stripped away a surface, color, or dye, it wasn’t the Charm’s fault—blame the shoddy material. It even listed a complaint hotline for refunds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This manual got weirdly detailed about the oddest stuff. Why not throw in the spell’s principles too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fat chance. In the transcendence world, knowledge probably came with a price tag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever. Back at the dorm, I’d zap the whole place with the Cleaning Charm. Good practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, we had that smart butler bot, but that little vacuum droid? Totally unreliable.\u003C\u002Fp>",867,"2026-06-03T10:21:31.651Z","2026-06-03T10:21:36.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","050ddcc616deb1c982cc66d70aaf6f579f1b95a763fc93de64ac56b421989598","is-it-weird-for-a-guy-to-apply-to-a-witch-school-chapter-41","is-it-weird-for-a-guy-to-apply-to-a-witch-school-chapter-39",710,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fis-it-weird-for-a-guy-to-apply-to-a-witch-school-cover.jpg"]
