Monster Hunting High School

Ouroboros is a magical magical creature.

This is a creature with no eyes, no ears, no nose, no need to breathe, hear, and no ability to move. They lay eggs, live in caves, and have no natural lifespan limit.

From the moment it is born, it bites its own tail, devouring, growing, and dying—living on this, and starting a long, never-ending cycle.

In the modern wizarding world, this kind of magical creature is widely found in the rainforests of West Africa or South America, on the beaches of small islands in the Aegean Sea, and at the foot of the Kunlun-Tanggula Mountains.

The small Ouroboros is about the thickness of silk and less than a minute in length; the large Ouroboros is only as thick as a child's arm and less than a foot long. They don't have fangs or claws, they can't fight, and they don't even have any offensive magic.

It would be a mistake to conclude that Ouroboros is a fragile magical creature based on these reasons alone.

Because of some ancient blessings, in the eyes of the white men, these magical creatures do not exist - this prevents them from being harmed by ignorance; and in the eyes of the wizards, these seemingly "weak" beings are worthy of awe. taboo.

According to legend, the history of ouroboros can be traced back to the beginning of the universe. Jörmungandr, the second son of the ancient Nordic god Loki, is their distant relative. The West African demigod Aldo Fedu is their close friend in the rain forest, as well as the Aztec Quetzalcoatl and the Brahmin Shesha snake god. They are all based on the incarnations of Advent, borrowing their images to varying degrees.

In addition, the powerful time and space magic 'Moebius Strip', as well as its advanced version 'Klein's Bottle', require stirring enough Ouroboros bone powder into the ink when copying the spell. as a basic medium.

With such a prominent background and ability, the symbol of Ouroboros has transformed into an independent magic pattern in today's magical world. It represents a symbol "full of purifying power" and is widely used by many alchemists in their works.

The great alchemist Thomas Brown once wrote in a letter to a friend:

"...The first day should determine the last day, just like a snake's tail should return to its mouth...They should both end at the same time they are born...This is really an extraordinary coincidence..."

Mike King Soprano, a sophomore studying at Alpha College, has not read many works of Mr. Thomas Brown - one of the twin stars of Alpha College is not good at alchemical magic - but this does not mean that he has not read many works of Mr. Thomas Brown. It did not affect him from borrowing certain elements from Ouroboros when he founded the Cheung Kei Society.

Immortal, cyclical, infinite.

No matter which point, it is full of temptation for this ambitious young wizard.

Although he was born in the Alpha School, this fat wizard greatly admired the ideas of other schools.

He praised Jiuyou College’s assessment method regardless of origin, appreciated Starry Sky College’s practice-based learning philosophy, and believed in Atlas College’s purpose: everyone has their own beliefs, and everyone needs their own beliefs.

Soprano's belief is the rule.

He believed that if everything was done according to the rules, the world would be perfect.

So when he walks, each step is 92 centimeters, no more, no less; when he eats, he chews each mouthful of food nine times before swallowing it; he goes to the toilet at 11:30 a.m. every day, every time Squatting in the same pit, after washing my hands, I always shake them three times and then wipe them clean with a paper towel.

Every night at twelve o'clock, he went to bed on time, and then got up at five thirty in the morning, walked around the Alfa Castle, and stood in meditation for an hour under the portraits of the chattering old men.

And the most important thing is that he does not kill any living thing - whether it is insects, wild beasts, or monsters, in Soprano's eyes, they are all the same, and they are all lives worthy of respect.

This point not only did not arouse the resentment of other wizards, but unexpectedly gained the respect of many fans.

You must know that in this world, the bad relationship between demons and wizards has a long history. Any behavior that tolerates demons will be despised by everyone. Only Soprano, with his outstanding charisma, won this privilege in the ivory tower of First University.

At this moment, in the lounge of the Cheung Kei Club, more than a dozen core members of the club were standing or sitting around Seprano, quietly listening to the fat wizard's chatter.

Like Serprano, these young wizards all have an ouroboros tattooed on their bodies. But some people have tattoos on their necks, some have tattoos on their upper arms, and some have tattoos on their fingertips.

The only thing that is the same is that these patterns all have bright colors that the real Ouroboros does not have.

“…Friedman’s biggest mistake was arrogance.”

“Arrogance blinds.”

"His aristocratic arrogance under the moon made him give up the huge profits from trading with the fishmen, because he felt that those fishy coppers should not appear in Alpha Castle."

"And his Cullen family-style arrogance made him lose his mind after being humiliated by several young men... No smart person will fall into the same pit twice, and our Sir, in one I have fallen into the pit three times.”

There was a chuckle of approval in the conference room.

There was a voice that seemed particularly harsh in the laughter - this voice was not at all suppressed or polite, but seemed a little arrogant.

Seprano couldn't help but turn his head and look at the place where the voice was.

is a young man.

Of course, as a sophomore, he had no position in calling other wizards 'young people'. But as the founder and sole core of the Cheung Kei Association, he has enough qualifications to overlook other subordinates of the same generation or older.

"Andrew!" The fat wizard raised his arm, spread his stubby fingers, and gestured: "Andrew Taylor...smiles so happily. Do you have any insights you want to share with everyone?"

The lounge immediately fell into dead silence.

Everyone lowered their eyelids and silently looked at the tip of their noses, as if they wanted to discover a new world above them.

Andrew didn't seem to notice this.

"That's so rude, sir!" He opened his arms exaggeratedly and said with a smile: "Although I don't know how many times that vampire fell... but hearing about the bad luck of those hypocrites in the Cullen family always makes me unable to control my heart. The joy..."

"It's indeed a bit rude." Seprano squinted, looked at the bright ouroboros around Andrew's neck, and nodded slightly: "...You just joined the Cheung Kei Association last month, right...I remember you still Donated one hundred jade coins in membership fees to the association.”

As he spoke, the fat wizard's eyes slid over the magic ring between the fingers of the young master of the Taylor family, and his expression became gentler.

"It's my honor, sir." Andrew Taylor bent down hard, with an uncontrollable smile on his face: "It's my honor to be an 'Ouroboros'."

The Ouroboros is the unifying symbol of Cheung Kei Association members.

Because of this identical tattoo, Ouroboros has gradually become synonymous with ‘Cheung Kei Club’ in First University. Some wizards flock to it, while others avoid it. But as long as it does not involve vicious incidents, First University has never intervened in this active interaction between students.

Therefore, young wizards studying at the First University will always join certain societies to seek shelter - many young people are always proud to join a certain 'circle' with very high standards.

After all, this is capital that can benefit in the long run.

"Very good." A smile of approval appeared on Seprano's face: "I suddenly thought of an interesting thing... Maybe it would be a good choice to leave it to you."

Andrew stood up straight in surprise.

Although being able to get Serprano's attention is something worth boasting about, this sudden luck always makes him feel illusory.

Soprano didn't let the young Taylor's mind wander for long.

"This year's hunting competition for freshmen in the school hunting club... are you interested in participating?" The fat wizard changed his posture and sat more comfortably on the armchair, and then added: "If I guessed correctly, maybe you have The opportunity to beat up the new kid from the Cullen family in the freshman game...I think this will help you stay in a happy mood."

As he spoke, he raised his head, his deep eyes fixed on the face of the little werewolf opposite.
