Chapter 111: The Class Monitor's Permissions
Early the next morning.
I dressed myself up quite meticulously, even putting on the outfit Sister Bai liked most among those she bought for me yesterday.
According to the description, it was a "Dark Girl Outfit Set." It used a niche design style, featuring a minimalist crop top paired with shorts adorned with chains. It felt very cool and airy to wear. Although they were technically shorts, the wide leg openings and the way the fabric draped made them look like a miniskirt at first glance.
More importantly, the buckled leg ring designed just below the left hem was likely the soul of the entire outfit. Furthermore, this leg ring was actually a small-capacity storage equipment.
Perhaps the cost of small-scale alchemical storage items wasn't that high, as this space was less than a single cubic meter. Many of the new clothes I’d gotten yesterday had similar features.
To me, this kind of spatial storage felt more like a replacement for pockets.
It was as if pockets had been turned into purely aesthetic design elements, while the actual function of carrying things was handed over entirely to spatial storage.
I had to admit, it was practical. But it was also truly expensive—certainly more so than ordinary clothing. However, in Sister Bai's words, the cost was just "pocket change" and very affordable.
Well, I hadn't figured out exactly how deep Sister Bai's pockets were, so I wasn't in a position to judge.
"Dongli Yiren, didn't you say you weren't going to your part-time job today? Why are you up so early again?" Once I was ready to head out, I saw Dongli Yiren busying herself and asked casually.
"Uh... I, I'm going over there today to let them know..."
"Alright. But I suggest you two take the next couple of days to check your assigned classes and counselors. If you get the chance, go introduce yourselves and get on familiar terms. Guan Qiuling, you too—why are you up so early?"
I noticed Dongli Yiren sounded a bit hesitant, but I didn't pry. I simply gave them a few pointers and shifted the topic to Guan Qiuling, who was standing nearby.
"Eh? I... I, well... I'm going to see a senior sister..." Guan Qiuling’s eyes darted away slightly, but she eventually gave a vague answer.
"Okay then. Whoever leaves last, remember to lock the door. I'll probably be heading over to the freshman enrollment point to look around. If you guys get bored, you might find me there."
With that, I headed straight out the door.
I planned to stop by the bakery first to see if Senior Sister Ying Shiqian was still there. If she was, we could head out together; if not, I’d just grab some cookies for breakfast and go find the academy staff.
As I walked, I scrolled through my phone. I wanted to see if the "Class Monitor" permissions my counselor mentioned had been activated. If they were, I wanted to try and find my classmates.
Oh, right, I needed to set up a class group chat. "Class 14 Mutual Aid Group." If I was making one, the name should probably be a bit formal, since Ji Niang would be in it too.
But on second thought, if I pulled everyone into a single group with the counselor present, wouldn't everyone feel awkward?
I remembered back when I was in school, students always had an official class group and then private ones that excluded the homeroom teacher.
In that case, I could do the same. It would make it more natural for everyone to chat and mess around. As the Class Monitor, I really had to consider these things for everyone's sake.
So, I quickly set up two group chats. I invited my great counselor, Ji Niang, to one, while the other currently had only me in it.
When I opened the academy system, I immediately received a notification.
It congratulated me on becoming the Class Monitor of Class 14 and informed me that I had gained new permissions. There was even a very detailed guidance process that let me clearly understand what these new powers were. Having an official position really was different; I didn't even have to figure things out on my own.
However, the name of this permission was quite plain. "My Classmates"—it sounded ordinary enough, but I hoped it would be useful.
After clicking into it, rows of student information appeared.
Unfortunately, the info only included names, genders, and student IDs. The gender column was utterly useless information—was there even a single male enrolled in a Witch Academy?
The senior sisters responsible for guiding new students would probably give any guy a "painless gender swap" on the very first day.
Curious, I looked at the students representing Class 14 and subconsciously scrolled down. After a while, I realized something was wrong. Why hadn't I reached the end yet?
I sped up, scrolling all the way to the bottom. The last student was numbered 106!
I rubbed my eyes, unable to believe the number. Over a hundred people in one class?
What kind of crazy class was this?
Could I even manage that many people?
I instinctively clicked on the last person's info and discovered that each entry could be expanded to reveal more details.
Well, after a few glances, I took back the words "detailed information." It was mostly trivial stuff, including but not limited to the number of Mana Sources, basic personal info, dormitory location, and so on. There was even an option to request permission to remotely view more sensitive data if the other party agreed.
Hmm... wasn't this a bit too much authority?
Things like the number of Mana Sources should be private information, right?
Even though I could see it clearly with my Spirit Vision, there should at least be some pretense of privacy.
Fortunately, I found a "Contact Information" column.
So there was a way to contact them. I wasn't sure how the academy got ahold of these details, but it was likely through Ley Line Information statistics again.
I noticed quite a few students didn't have contact info listed yet. They probably hadn't arrived at the school to pick up their phones.
But I didn't have time to add them all to the group one by one right now. I needed to find the senior sister first.
When I arrived at the bakery, I found Tang Yihan keeping watch over the shop alone. I asked her about Ying Shiqian, only to find out she had left quite early.
"Oh, wait, Xiao Han. If you're going to look for Ying Shiqian, take this with you. She was in such a rush she forgot everything," Senior Sister Tang Yihan said when she saw I wasn't planning to stay.
"Huh? Take what?" I looked where she was pointing and saw a finished display board and some signs.
"The display boards for our club recruitment. She actually managed to forget these. I have no idea what she thinks she's doing sitting over there without them. She's probably slacking off again."
"I see. Alright, I'll take them over." I picked up the display board. The base was quite heavy; it would be a real chore if I had to carry it all the way there by hand.
"Xiao Han, if it's too heavy, I'll go with you. Or I could just call that girl Ying Shiqian and tell her to get back here."
"Haha, no need. I have storage equipment. It's not huge, but I can fit the base inside. The board itself isn't heavy," I quickly reassured her. There was no need to trouble the senior sister with something like this.
"Xiao Han, you actually have storage equipment already?" A flash of surprise crossed Tang Yihan's eyes. After all, storage equipment was very expensive.
"It's built into the clothes. The space is small, but it's very handy." As I spoke, I showed it to her. This was Sister Bai's favorite piece, after all, and I liked it a lot too.
"Is that so? I have to say, this outfit really suits you."
