Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?

After becoming nominal friends with this simple Grass and Tree Elf through this method, we also chatted about some other topics.

For instance, we exchanged names, including mine and Big Sis Bai’s.

Unexpectedly, this Grass and Tree Elf actually had her own name!

According to Big Sis Bai and the records within the Great Tree of Knowledge, Grass and Tree Elves who haven’t formed large communities generally do not possess language or script.

After some inquiry, I learned that they had lived in this “world” for a very long time and had been exploited and enslaved for a long time as well.

As for language and script… they weren’t systematic, just very fragmented, to the point where even daily communication was quite difficult.

However, their internal desire to express their needs and meanings was still very clear.

I heard that these languages still had some connection to the original Grass and Tree Elves.

According to my guess, it’s possible that the original Grass and Tree Elves caught by the wizards were members of a large community and had their own language and script, but after arriving in this world fragment, the knowledge wasn’t fully passed down, so it became semi-lost within this world fragment.

And this Grass and Tree Elf’s name was Ling Yi.

The naming convention for the Grass and Tree Elves living in this world followed the “Ling XX” style.

It could be said to have clashed with the naming convention of the Fool’s Dream.

Perhaps this was the naming style favored by little fellows in small communities.

Afterward, Big Sis Bai and I simply set up a temporary tent on this lake island.

For the next few days, I planned to cast aside those external troubles and live a peaceful life for a few days with Big Sis Bai in a place where it was just the two of us.

After setting up the tent, I went to the small mound of earth where the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree was planted.

At this moment, under the nourishment of the energy environment dissipated by the Transcendent Primordial Crystal earlier, this Myriad Connection Main Network Tree was growing at high speed.

After my simple induction, it lost many of the abilities originally endowed upon it—or rather, its shackles.

It didn’t need to become a Myriad Connection Main Network Tree; even that name was a shackle endowed upon it by that world.

Now, it was just a tree.

It would no longer actively spread its root network, nor would it actively attach itself to the earth veins to become a parasite upon them.

It would only become a large tree with a relatively developed root system.

I endowed a tree with temporary freedom of growth.

But I also had expectations for it.

I was truly curious… are plants also considered… life recognized by the Void?

Yes, plants are as well.

Among spells, there are also many transformation and summoning spells modeled after special transcendent plants.

Therefore… plants are also life that fits the Void’s recognition.

This includes naturally born Grass and Tree Elves; they too are life recognized by the Void.

“Ling Yi, let me ask you a question. Can you understand the language of plants? Or rather, perceive the emotions of plants?”

I asked curiously.

The research field of botany is massive, much like zoology, and it also has “miraculous” settings like animal affinity.

And Grass and Tree Elves are the absolute “natural experts” of the plant field.

Even Forest Elves, in the “natural” domain, cannot compare with Grass and Tree Elves.

“The language of plants… if it’s plants… do they have a language too? But it’s true that I can feel the emotions of plants. Just like this sprouting tree, I can feel its joy! But I can also feel her confusion… and a bit of loneliness. When she grows up later and I make my home on her, she won’t feel lonely anymore!”

“Is that how it is?”

After getting an affirmative answer, I understood… plants indeed have their own emotions.

Then… since they have them, my perception should be able to perceive them!

But my sixth sense, Heart Sense, completely failed to feel such emotions…

Could it be that I don’t yet understand the way plants transmit emotions, which is why I can’t perceive them?

Pondering such things seemed meaningless.

It’s just like how those never-before-seen earth vein creatures could ignore world regionality to manipulate earth vein energy; Grass and Tree Elves could perceive plant emotions that couldn’t be understood through ordinary means.
