Chapter 228 Reminder

"The academy has a rather subtle protection rule, or should I say large-scale magic? Or is it a barrier? In short, it's good, it's just an influence to prevent fights and conflicts between members here."

While explaining to his classmates, Annan stabbed himself.

When Field saw this scene, he was too frightened to react.

But he soon saw clearly that the dagger in Annan's hand had only scratched the back of his hand, and a small amount of blood flowed out.

"You see, if it's self-harm, suicide, or self-harm, the college's protection rules won't work. I don't know if this is a loophole or if it's intentional."

"...You have already studied this academy in depth."

After Field was recruited as a member of the academy, he actually did not enter this place a few times. He had no idea that this place had such a method of protecting members.

He finally understood why Annan dragged him to a deserted place to conduct various tests and experiments.

"It's just a preliminary study, and I need your help next. After all, two people can definitely do more than one."

Annan put down the dagger, took out the prepared band-aid, and sealed the wound on the back of his hand.

"Let's talk first. I want to understand the protection rules of the academy. It's not that I want to do anything. I'm just curious. You don't need to be too nervous or think too much."

Field, who was having random thoughts in his mind, nodded stiffly.

"It would be better for you to know more about this. Although direct attacks are prohibited in this place, indirect or accidental attacks do not seem to be included, so next, we will test these places."

Annan conducted preliminary experiments when he was alone, but he was not sure whether he would get the same results if there were other people around.

For example, if someone stumbles while walking clumsily on the road, and if someone stumbles on purpose, what is the difference between the two, and whether it can be implemented.

With the cooperation of his classmates, Annan made many attempts in less than thirty minutes.

"Firearms are effective when you shoot yourself, but if someone else shoots you, the bullet will suddenly disappear without a trace like magic just before it gets close. I don't know how it disappeared."

Annan once asked a classmate to chop himself with a dagger, but the result was that the sharp blade stopped midway, and he could not swing it no matter what, so he had to stop.

The same goes for throwing weapons. If you throw the dagger out, the final result is that the entire dagger disappears without a trace and can never be found again.

"Was it teleported and recovered by the academy, or was it decomposed on the spot? That dagger is not cheap. If it is recovered, I hope I can get it back."

Annan tested physical contact, which was also prohibited in the academy. The two of them could not touch each other.

Whether intentional or unintentional, there is no real contact between people, as if each other is covered by a protective shield.

However, this does not apply to clothing. Clothing can be in contact with each other, or two pieces of clothing can be connected to each other.

"It's an incomplete protection method."

The final conclusion is that the academy does have a basic layer of protection. There is no need to worry about being harmed by other people. Even if it is indirect, it can be avoided most of the time.

Having said that, there are still certain loopholes, and it is always possible to deliberately plot against others.

"The strange thing is that the protective magic here does not limit the damage to objects and the building itself."

Annan looked at the damage he had just made on one side of the wall.

Whether it's hot or cold weapons or magic, everything here can be destroyed.

Of course, the academy building itself has undergone reinforcement works, just like magic academies in different places, and will not be easily destroyed by magic.

"We shouldn't be warned by the academy..."

Although the damage on the wall was not much and not very deep, Field was worried that the academy would punish them.

"Let's talk about it then. I will tell the academy."

When Annan borrowed the room, he did not say that he would conduct a destruction test, because he did not know whether the college would be willing to continue lending the room after understanding what he wanted to do.

He had thought about borrowing some suitable magic practice grounds. It was not that the academy did not have indoor or independent practice venues, but he thought it was better to conduct this kind of test in a normal room, so that he could test out the basic details of the academy.

Anyway, just apologize later. It's great that you just compensate me. There won't be any problem.

After all, he was chosen by the fate of the academy and would definitely not be easily expelled. In this regard, he was still confident.

"That's about it for the test. That's it for now."

Annan ran through all the tests he had thought of so far, but there was nothing left to do.

He smiled and thanked the classmates around him for their help.

Field responded with an unconscious wry smile.

"By the way, Field, you probably haven't accidentally fallen into the other world recently, right?"

There were only two of them in the room now, and Annan didn't bother to use the college's code name.

"Fell into the other world? What do you mean?"

Seeing the expression of this classmate who really knew nothing, Annan instantly understood a fact.

"It seems that you really don't know what the world in Contact represents."

Annan feels that the college seems to be a bit of a trap.

As a classmate, when I see this situation, I naturally have to give a warning.

Annan briefly explained things about the other world.

Field's face gradually darkened as he listened.

"Once you come into contact with the other world, you will never be able to escape from it for the rest of your life. Sometimes you will even fall into the other world accidentally..."

Although Field had seen the term "The Other World" in the academy's invitation letter, he did not fully understand its meaning.

Because of his strong curiosity and adventurous impulse, he chose to join the academy. After entering this place, he has not been here a few times, has not spoken to other people here, and has not had the opportunity to understand the things in the other world in depth.

Until now.

"Is this... is this true?"

"Of course it is real, more real than real gold. Although you may not have any sense of reality, I recommend you to go to the library here. There is quite a lot of information there. You should have been to the library, right?"

Annan saw his classmates nodding stiffly.

"You should first go to the library to search for introductory books about the other world, and then go to an available college professor to ask."

"……I'll go now."

Field couldn't stay any longer. He hurriedly said goodbye to Annan and ran out.

"Poor child."

Annan wasn't too worried about this classmate. Anyway, he didn't think it was a big deal, and the professors at the college would probably enlighten him.

"Okay, next..."
