Monster Hunting High School

A blue elf tilted the long-necked wine bottle in his hand.

A stream of cyan liquid broke through the bottle mouth, flowed down happily, hit the bottom of the empty cup, curled up happily, and raised a layer of fine foam.

Zheng Qing held the wine glass filled with Green Bee and handed it to Thomas respectfully.

"Thank you...I remember when you drank it, you kept saying it was spicy...are you used to it now?" Thomas had a big smile on his face, his green eyes sparkling.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zheng Qing stood beside him stiffly, feeling a little uneasy.

"Thank you." Thomas took a green pear from the elf's hand, thanked him, and turned to look at the public student: "How are the elves you rescued on the special plane...I heard they are still alive?"

The little fox was originally standing on Zheng Qing's shoulder, asking for fruits from the elves. Suddenly hearing Thomas' question, he immediately ran back to Zheng Qing's arms, staring at his master with his big black eyes, with an expression of 'Are there any other foxes outside?'

"Well, my friend helped me... I mixed some potion with the royal jelly of sand. It should last a long time." Zheng Qing scratched the little fox's chin and explained in a low voice: "The royal jelly of sand is the one I made at Linzhong Lake a few days ago. The reward won in that matter..."

The little fox narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and raised the tip of his tail slightly. The bow on it has been removed by Zheng Qing, and not a single hair has been removed.

"Oh, how heroic." Thomas looked at him in surprise: "Although wizards all like other unique lives... but few wizards would waste this precious resource to save those that are not of much value. The goal...you know, the marginal rate of return on your investment is very low.”

"This is not an investment," Zheng Qing couldn't help but argue: "Besides, isn't life priceless... What happened to this school... It has become a little unrecognizable."

Thomas put down the pears in his left hand, switched the wine glass from his right hand to his left hand, raised a finger and scratched his chin.

"It feels so good to be young," he praised sincerely: "You can still have all kinds of beautiful yearnings for the world...Are you having a headache because of the remarks made by the Propaganda Department?"

Zheng Qing gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.

Thomas changed the hand of the wine glass again, frowned, and said slowly: "You have to get used to these things... You are already adults, and you have to learn to look at the world with adult ideas, and don't always act like a child. "

Seeing Zheng Qing's eyes widening and his mouth opening as if he was about to refute, he quickly raised his hand and stopped him: "Don't be anxious, listen to me first..."

Zheng Qing took a deep breath and closed his mouth.

"The Wizards' Union has been very passive throughout the summer."

"...The Investigation Bureau investigated several laboratories that were conducting dimensional fluctuations in violation of regulations, there were some riots in the black prison, and the return of silence came much earlier than in previous years. In addition, the school's withdrawal of power from the New World caused rumors to spread... Not to mention At this juncture, there were two accidents involving the Four Seasons and the school’s special plane.”

Thomas' expression darkened when he mentioned the school's special plane.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand... but you should be able to understand that there have been enough bad things this year, and everyone needs some positive things to cheer them up."

"The wizarding world needs a little positive energy, the Wizarding League needs a hero, and the school also needs everyone to turn their attention from certain corners to other stages."

"What could be more in line with the needs of the three parties than a publicly funded student who just entered school this year to become a hero?" Thomas handed the empty wine glass to an elf and spread his hands.

"So, adults can lie at will." Zheng Qing was silent for a long time, and finally said in a sarcastic tone: "Since we were young, you told us what is right and what is wrong; and then when we grow up, you tell us what is right and what is wrong. Tell us with actions that there is no right or wrong, only interests... What a funny story.”

"It's really funny, but this is the real world...the world outside of books." After saying this, Thomas suddenly smiled and joked: "Don't look so bitter and resentful...You know, besides You lose nothing in this transaction by signing with ink.”

"Yes, I should be the one who has gained the most," Zheng Qing said with a hint of melancholy, "As long as I revise my worldview a little, I will find that the world will be better when I get up tomorrow."

Thomas was stunned for a moment, and finally stopped talking.

Zheng Qing raised his head and glanced at the noisy first hall again, looking at those fantastic scenes that he could only see in his dreams when he was a child, and looking at those real faces.

He felt a small figure deep in his heart slowly sinking to the bottom of the water.

Like Thomas said, this was a deal, and he was just a gold-plated weight.

"Deal..." The young public-funded student murmured, suddenly raised his head, looked at the former interviewer, and asked: "What about you? Aren't you a little angry?"

"Angry?" Thomas raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I mean, they put the reputation of that thunder curse on my head..." Zheng Qing looked at his green eyes and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face: "I always feel that I It’s like stealing something.”

"Well..." Thomas smiled, raised his head, slightly lost in thought: "The school agreed to a certain arbitrary request of mine... I am really grateful. As for the Wizards Council, they promised to help me conduct an experiment... After completing this experiment, I am closer to the great wizard. For a true wizard, is there anything more important than going further on this path? "

Zheng Qing followed Thomas' gaze and looked above his head.

In addition to the deep void and pitch black, there were only a few swaying large groups of light, moving precariously on the pre-planned road, leaving a few shallow traces of light.

"Thank you." The young public-funded student said sincerely: "Thank you from all angles."

"It doesn't matter!" Thomas patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Well... we all have our youth."

"Why are you so happy!" Fatty Xin ran over from a short distance away, his face flushed and panting: "Excuse me, sir, why doesn't my badge look as beautiful as Nicholas's? Is it the material for making this year's school badge? changed?"

The orange cat lay on the fat man's head, with its claws tightly clasping the top of his head. Its tail was like a flagpole, standing straight behind his head. It looked very funny.

The little fox grabbed Zheng Qing's collar and fell down laughing.

Zheng Qing looked past Fatty Xin and landed on the repeater behind him.

Sure enough, unlike other freshmen, the two badges worn on Nicholas' chest seemed to be coated with a layer of glaze, shining with a thin layer of five-color light under the pale light.

It looks much more advanced than the matte metal stamps on the hands of freshmen.

"Nicholas?" Thomas glanced at the tall and lanky wizard behind the fat man, with a trace of doubt on his face: "Don't you know that too?"

An embarrassed expression appeared on Nicholas's face.

"No... I haven't... paid much attention to... this kind of thing," he stammered in explanation: "Normally, my studies are quite stressful... I also have to take care of Liz."

"Ah... how is Liz now?" Thomas smiled gently.

"She's fine, thank you." Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief and finally spoke fluently: "The potion prepared by the Pharmacy Research Institute is very effective. She has been very good throughout the summer."

Zheng Qing had heard that Nicholas had a sister named Liz.

But from the tone of the two of them, it seemed like Liz was suffering from some kind of serious illness?

What a difficult life.

The young public-funded student looked at Nicholas and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's good." Thomas said, turned to look at the freshmen, and explained: "The materials of the badges have naturally not changed... They are all made of meteorite, mithril, and purple gold, and are unified in the Alchemy Research Institute. It’s just that the school has added some protective spells to the badges. If you wear them for a long time, the spells on the badges will continue to strengthen under the influence of the wizard’s magic... The external manifestation of this change is that their color will become more brilliant.”

"Let me just say, my eldest brother has graduated a long time ago and still carries these two badges." Zhang Jixin came over at some point, with a look of surprise on his face: "No wonder...his badge has turned into a translucent and bright color like a diamond. ”

"Really?!" Fatty Xin looked surprised: "Why didn't anyone tell us this..."

"You are already an adult. Don't rely on others to tell you everything." Zheng Qing suddenly remembered what someone said not long ago and couldn't help but laugh: "Be proactive in everything and learn to be self-reliant."

Fatty Xin tilted his head at Zheng Qing, with an expression as if you had the nerve to say that.

"Of course, the Order of Merlin also has this effect." Thomas looked at the young public-funded student and smacked his lips: "I heard that wearing the Order of Merlin for a long time can also strengthen the wearer's physical fitness in certain aspects..."

"Wow." Several others glanced at Zheng Qing enviously.

Zheng Qing pinched the three pieces of hard metal in his pocket and immediately began to think about how to wear these 'talismans' for a long time without attracting attention.
