An Unorthodox Guide to Conquering Another World

"A girl band?" Ilsa blinked. "They might be interested..."

"Really? That's great!" The other person immediately became excited. "Then, do you want to join us? They're all very cute girls, it'll be a lot of fun, everyone's very friendly."

“Oh? Well, I only know a little bit of piano,” Ilsa said.

"It's okay, we'll teach you! You're so cute, you'll definitely be popular," the other person said with a smile. "You can also come and check out our activity room first, and if you're satisfied, you can join us."

A girl band sounds pretty good; maybe I can meet a lot of sophisticated friends.

“Then I…” Ilsa was about to speak when her hand was grabbed and Ya Feng walked over without her noticing.

"I'm sorry, my child isn't interested in you," he said to the girl, then pulled Ilsa away.

Mo Qiu seemed to want to try to stop them, but after guessing the relationship between Ya Feng and Ilsa, she gave up.

"Ya Feng, what's wrong? I think it's great that these clubs are doing music," Ilsa asked, following behind Ya Feng, puzzled.

“If it were a proper band, that would be great, but in the kingdom now, if a girl asks you if you want to join a girls' band, it’s basically asking if you’re a lesbian. That’s slang,” Ya Feng said.

"Huh?!" Ilsa was stunned for a long time.

"Why is a girl band considered lesbian?"

"Who knows, it's just the meaning that gradually evolved," Ya Feng said with a shrug.

"This, this is really... so strange..." Ilsa said blankly, then suddenly felt a little scared.

Despite this incident, they continued to stroll around Crescent Lake.

But after wandering around for a while, nothing satisfied me.

"Or, you could try a different approach: create your own club and invite others to join, wouldn't that work?" Ya Feng suggested.

“It’s not that easy…” Ilsa said.

"But look at Hikaria, she did it, didn't she?"

"what?"

Ilsa turned her head and looked in the direction Ya Feng was pointing.

Next to the reading club, there was a small, extremely deserted stall, where Ilsa's classmate, the black-haired elf Hikaria, was sitting and reading a book.

There was a sign next to her.

"World Research Department is recruiting one member and one tutor."

It's very simple, and there aren't even any requirements.

Ya Feng and Ilsa arrived at her stall. Hikaria noticed someone coming and looked up. She was still wearing thick glasses and bangs that covered her eyes.

"you..."

"Hi, Hikaria, you're still the president?" Ilsa greeted her.

Hikaria glanced at the two of them, then nodded slightly.

"Yes."

“One member, one teacher… By the way, you don’t even have an advisor?” Ya Feng asked.

Every club within the college needs the endorsement and name of a teacher to be approved before it can be established.

“Originally, we did have one, but Professor Geraint retired last week, and the academy requires me to find another advisor and a member within a month so that the club can continue,” Hikaria said in a low voice.

"I remember... a club needs at least four members, right? Where are the others besides you?"

“A student named Lily dropped out of school because of bipolar disorder. There was also a freshman who joined but never came back... There was also a student named Buddy, but he was injured in the alchemy cauldron the day before yesterday and can't come this semester, so there is a vacancy now.”

"Your club has really had a lot of bad luck..."

It seems that filling the void in the club was indeed very important to her, which is why this elf lady, who usually doesn't like to talk to others, talked to them so much.

Ilsa looked at the club name on the card:

"World Research Department... what exactly does that do?" she asked.

“To study this world,” Hikaria said.

"Oh...I see..."

Ilsa began to ponder.

If I joined, I should be able to become the second-in-command of the club, right? Vice president would definitely be no problem.

Being a vice president here is a better option than joining other clubs, because many college activities are only open to club administrators. These activities allow direct contact with other club presidents, thus expanding one's network of contacts.

Club administrators can also get extra activity points; even if they do nothing, they can get points just by being listed.

This will be very helpful for her future entry into the student council.

Setting up a club is a very troublesome thing. She doesn't know how long it would take to get approved if she set one up again. Now that Hikaria has one ready-made, why not take advantage of it?

After thinking it through, she immediately said to Ya Feng:

"Ya Feng, why don't we go together..."

"Wow! They have the complete, out-of-print 'Hell's Three Sisters' comic book here! You can borrow it for free if you become a member! Linda, come quick! We have to join this club today!"

At this moment, Ya Feng had already run to the reading club's stall next door and was shouting at Ilsa.

"This, this guy..." Ilsa helplessly covered her forehead.

Chapter 31 The Plan to Seize the Resurrection Potion

"Okay, is everything alright now?" Ilsa handed the application form to Hikaria.

"Um..."

The other person took it, glanced at it, and then looked up. Her eyes were obscured by her glasses, but it was clear that she was sizing up Ilsa.

Are you really sure you want to join my club? Aren't there other better options?

“Well, I think a new club would better showcase my abilities,” Ilsa smiled, her eyes narrowing. “Please take care of me from now on, Hikaria.”

Hikaria didn't answer, she just nodded silently.

"Well, I'll submit the application as soon as possible, and I should be able to give you a reply when class starts on Monday."

That's wonderful.

"in addition..."

Hikaria turned her head towards Afong.

"Mr. Ya Feng, I would also like to request that you become the club's advisor. Please take a look at the application form in your office on Monday."

“No problem,” Ya Feng said casually, waving his hand.

"Thank you very much."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head again and started reading her book.

Ilsa seemed a little embarrassed. She thought this was an opportunity to get closer to her deskmate, but she didn't seem to have that idea.

After a moment of silence, Ilsa spoke up, "Well then, we'll head back now, Hikaria."

"Okay, take care." She looked up and gave a brief farewell.

The two then left.

"Sigh... I still feel like she's a bit difficult to get along with," Ilsa said sheepishly.

"Maybe that's just their persona? A quiet, solitary individual who stays in the shadows in the corner of the classroom, but who transforms into a superhero to save the world when it matters most," Ya Feng said.

"Ya Feng, you watch too many movies and TV shows..."

"It's a professional habit; as a creator, I tend to make connections whenever I see something interesting," Ya Feng said, shrugging.

However, this time it's not just Lenovo.

He could sense that the black-haired elf named Hikaria was definitely not as simple as she appeared.

It's highly likely that they were also an important figure secretly dispatched by the elves.

Hmm...it seems the little princess has encountered a rather unusual deskmate.

...

night.

Everything is ready; tonight is the night for Ya Feng to infiltrate the Alchemy Academy.

All the necessary equipment was brought: a decoy dummy, a silencer box, and a storage bag with thirty cubic meters of space.

He acquired this spatial bag at an auction a year ago, spending a full 500,000 gold francs at the time.

Moreover, the spatial magic within this quality storage bag is unstable; with each use, the internal storage space will collapse and become smaller and smaller.

Therefore, he only uses it when it is most needed.

After finishing her homework, Ilsa went to bed early, while Ya Feng quietly went out, opened his umbrella, and took to the air.

Infiltrate, search, take care of it, and leave.

Top Secret Academy, Attack!

...

Hoinlé College.

In the darkness, a patrol marker, its blue light gleaming, swayed past. Shortly after it passed, a figure emerged from the darkness.

Ya Feng arrived at the Alchemy Department, and the warehouse was located underground in the third white-roofed tower.

He took out the forged access card he had prepared earlier and swiped it to open the side door of the tower.

He'd been making a lot of trips to the Alchemy Department lately to get this access card. He'd gotten to know several of the alchemy teachers, then swiped one of their access cards, copied the spell inscription on it, and returned it.

Counterfeit access cards can only be used once.

He walked into the tower.

Following the spiral staircase into the basement, the interior space suddenly expanded several times over, with a maze of corridors and rows of rooms. Sometimes, the walls, which were enchanted, would even move automatically, making it easy to get lost without a map or a clear route.

In addition to these, there are also some recently added features.

Those were carrots, buried in the ground, on the walls, and on the ceiling—they were everywhere.

These are the masterpieces of that rabbit principal. They're like alarms; getting close to these carrots is like entering his sensory domain. He can instantly locate you and detonate the carrots to form a cage that traps you.

However, there is a solution.

He took out a piece of paper, squatted down and folded it into a paper airplane. Then he plucked a hair from his head, clipped it to the airplane, and flew it towards the corridor filled with carrots.

The paper airplane wobbled and flew, turning left and right in the corridor without any airflow. It flew past carrot alarms and weaved through the complex corridors until it drifted into a long corridor. The paper airplane lost power and was about to fall when it suddenly turned into a streak of light, and Ya Feng jumped out of the light.

Jumping using objects isn't a particularly complex technique, but the difficulty lies in controlling the paper airplane to navigate through the weakest gaps in the carrot array. Only by relying on the paper airplane's low magic reflection can it avoid triggering traps; a slight deviation would likely end in disaster.

Fortunately, I'm skilled enough.

Walk a few more steps and you'll reach the entrance to the warehouse where valuables are stored.

The final obstacle is breaking the seal on the warehouse door.

Ya Feng lifted the black wooden cane in his hand and walked towards the warehouse entrance.

Click.

He heard a noise behind him, turned around, and saw a pure black insect-shaped monster opening its blood-red maw full of sharp teeth and claws at him.

In one gulp, he swallowed Ya Feng whole.

The pure black, shadow-like insect-shaped monster twisted its body and let out a burp. Beside it, a shadow rose up and transformed into a human figure wearing a black hood, raising its hand to stroke the head of its familiar.

“Good, Baka,” he praised.

Although I don't know why there are other people here, judging from how weak the magical aura on this guy is, he's probably a teacher who came in temporarily on business.

After dealing with this unexpected character who had appeared out of nowhere, the man in the black hoodie headed towards the warehouse door.

This is a top-tier security door inlaid with obsidian, possessing a seventh-order sealing technique. Forcibly opening it is about as difficult as piecing together an ant from its molecular structure.

The man in the black hood took out a hexagonal metal piece from his robe and attached it to the magic lock on the door.

This is a decryption device, and it's specifically designed for decrypting this type of sealing technique. They went to great lengths to obtain it from a mysterious organization.
