Hunting High School

Generally speaking, love is a luxury.

She is not like private jets, private bodyguards, grand balls and other luxuries that need to cost you tangible property. She will consume your energy, your wisdom, and even your life. What she consumes is your invisible wealth.

Moreover, she will continue to consume your wealth like luxuries that consume your tangible wealth. If you reduce your investment in this area for a certain period of time, this luxury called love will fade quickly. Even decays faster than your fur coat.

Of course, this luxury will be like aged wine, the longer it settles, the more delicious the fermented taste will be.

Most people, throughout their lives, spend their own intangible wealth in exchange for poor tangible wealth to maintain their existence in this world. Only those who don't need to consume too much intangible wealth can pile up such expensive consumables with romance and time.

The wizard is different. They are not ordinary people, they can do magic.

In the preface of the book "Timeline-The Baseline of Magic", the great wizard Lev Tomashy of the nineteenth century wrote: "... Except for time, there is no other real magic in this world. And love is Among others, the existence closest to the true meaning of magic..."

Perhaps because the student life before high school was too monotonous and pure, Zheng Qing was full of confusion at this turbulent age. And Elena was like a lighthouse in the dark, allowing him to see certain directions when he was confused.

Short skirts, high heels, long wavy hair, and different clothes every day, all of them are full of mysterious temptations of the opposite sex. Sometimes Zheng Qing felt like a sailor confused by a sea monster, knowing the dark water in front of him, but still jumped into it without hesitation.

Everything was fine.

Just like the boys imagined.

Love is sweet, sometimes mixed with a little coldness, but most of the time it exudes a fascinating fragrance. But because of the sensitivity of young people, Zheng Qing sometimes feels that Irina is not serious enough about this relationship.

Although it is not perfunctory, it is completely different from the young men and women in love who seem to be tired of being together all the time that Zheng Qing has seen.

Especially recently, Yi Lianna has been playing and disappearing again and again, which makes the young public finance student very dissatisfied.

He decides to fight a cold war with the gypsy witch.

But after only a week, Zheng Qing regretted it.

Because while he deliberately avoided the witch, the witch did not deliberately find him.

It made him feel like he had been punched in the cotton.

He missed the lightness of being with Elena, the detachment of drunkenness without the pain of drunkenness. He missed the days when his heart was beating, her different makeup every day, her tall figure, and her charming smile.

"Go find her if you want her, I've never seen such a narrow-minded boy like you!" Xin Fatty was puzzled by the entanglement of the young public finance student: "Isn't it normal for boys to admit their mistakes to girls?"

"You don't understand." Zheng Qing glanced at Fatty slightly melancholy: "When you have a girlfriend, you will understand that boys also have self-esteem..."

This is a bit hurtful.

Fatty flew into a rage, threw the fat cat off his body, and walked out the door angrily.

Fat Mao yelled at Zheng Qing angrily.

The young public finance student ignored the two Fatties, but turned to look at Xiao Xiao, trying to get a truth from another roommate in the dormitory who had love experience and was knowledgeable.

Xiao Xiao held his black-shell notebook, buried his head behind the notebook, and said in a low voice: "Love, like time, is the greatest magic."

"The manifestation of time is existence, and time has meaning only when it exists."

"And the expression of love is to listen. To love, one must learn to listen."

"How can you say you love her if you can't even listen?"

Very good, this answer is very 'doctoral', Zheng Qing found a theoretical basis for her own compromise, and suddenly mustered up some courage in her heart, and said to herself: "Yes, I always want to listen to her explanation, yes Bar."

Just like that, before he knew it, he came to the library again, to the place where he often studied talismans with Elena.

That familiar figure was sitting in a familiar seat looking at something.

Zheng Qing tried his best to restrain his urge to turn around and run away, murmuring words with unclear meanings such as 'existence', 'listening' and 'time', and at the same time grabbed the thickest and heaviest book from the nearby bookshelf, Come to that seat.

"You are reading "Hu Gong Si Wen"."

Zheng Qing put the heavy "On the Origin" in his hand on the old position opposite to Elena, glanced at the book in Elena's hand, and pretended to ask casually.

"Yes." Elena picked Own's long hair with a pen, and replied in the same calm tone: "As you said, the foundation of the talisman is in it. As long as you don't lose heart, any wizard can master it."

"Oh, maybe I'm too assertive sometimes." Zheng Qing had to use a lot of strength to open the "On the Origin" in his hand-this is a philosophy book discussing the origin of magic. Zheng Qing doubts whether he can understand it The preface of this book—but it doesn’t matter, he didn’t come to read the book anyway, and he focused on the gypsy witch opposite:

"Although "Hugong Siwen" covers some basic knowledge of talismans, the most important thing to learn talismans is guidance. Well, guidance is still very important."

This hint is very obvious.

Elena raised her head, squinted her eyes, and looked at the young public fee student with a dangerous light in her eyes:

"Guide? This word sounds like a student from Alpha College, not a public-funded student from Jiuyou College. This is not just arbitrary... Your behavior is already considered reckless."

Zheng Qing didn't look up, still staring at the preface of "On the Origin" in front of him, but didn't read a single word.

At this moment, he was racking his brains, thinking about why he came here, thinking about how to remind Elena where she was wrong, thinking about how to answer the witch's words wisely and gracefully:

"Not reckless."

He said dryly, denying the accusation of the witch, and at the same time reminded in a low voice:

"You must admit that some of your inappropriate actions have caused me to be assertive."

His voice was unassailable.

"Well, anyway, it's over." Yi Lianna lowered her head again, no longer expecting the boy across from her to be smarter, and began to take notes at the same time: "My talisman grade point in the midterm exam is 3.9, compared to before It's much better to only get one credit, or even no credit at all."

"Yeah, I noticed it on the credit list." Zheng Qing noticed that the atmosphere in the air had loosened up a little, and was immediately relieved. He casually flipped through the books under his hands, and slightly emphasized his tone: "But I have a more reliable one." training methods."

"Is it more reliable than it?" Yi Lianna poked the cover of "Hu Gong Si Wen" with a pen in her hand, and her tone increased.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It’s really easy to use. I rely on reading and listening to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download yeguoyuedu here]

Several simulated runes run hard on the narrow cover, avoiding the witch's sharp provocations.

Zheng Qing looked at those runes worriedly, while considering his tone, he said slowly:

"Because of some theories and reasons that are not easy to understand, if there is no guidance in the study of talismans, it is easy to go astray. Of course, this guidance is not a book, and some more are needed. Of course, it is only a small part, and there are human factors."

"You mean to continue teaching me talismans?"

"It can be understood in this way." Zheng Qing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. When he said those words just now, he felt as if his whole body was stuffed into a rubber tube, almost suffocating.

"You are really warm-hearted." Elena tried her best to make her tone calmer, but it was clear that the sarcasm in it was still very strong.

"I know you think so." The most embarrassing part passed, and Zheng Qing's mind became much clearer, and he tried hard to search for words in his mind:

"...Given the talisman knowledge I have, to put it bluntly, it is much richer than most orthodox witches. I don't mind spending some more time to guide you in your studies. Of course, I can also Forgive your previous inappropriate actions."

"An inappropriate move?" Yi Lianna didn't know when a deck of tarot cards appeared in her hand, and she was shuffling them.

The edges of the cards flickered coldly.

"It's just an analogy." Zheng Qing added with some embarrassment: "It means that the customs and habits are not consistent. There is nothing really inappropriate. I mean, although you have achieved good midterm exam results, But there is still a long way to go as far as the college’s requirements for sophomores. And I am generously wasting my own time to serve you for free.”

"What a generous answer." With a straight face, Yi Lianna put away the Tarot cards in her hand, put the notes on the table into her own bag, stood up, and strode out.

"Why are you in such a hurry, I haven't finished yet." Zheng Qing hurriedly stuffed the "On the Origin" into a bookshelf beside him, chasing after Irina's footsteps.

Behind him came the faint sound of books fighting—it was because a wrong book was placed in the wrong place, and other books did not welcome such a change.

The boy's footsteps only hesitated for a moment, and then he forgot those books about fighting.

I'm so sorry, he muttered under his breath, picking up his pace. There is no doubt that that "On the Origin" has a good chance of being knocked off the cover by the surrounding books. But what does it matter?

Librarians will take care of these troubles.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Elena had already walked out of the library, stood under the big tree at the entrance of the library, and asked Zheng Qing very politely.

"Wow, I've never come out of the library so easily." Zheng Qing wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and said to him from left to right: "The weather is really nice today...sounds warm."

"Hurry up, I'm going to have lunch after I finish talking." Elena said impatiently.

"What I want to say is that although a lot has happened, I'm still happy to treat you to lunch. How about going to the 'Green Elf Restaurant' in Beta Town?" Zheng Qing raised his hands and proposed seriously.

"what?"

"Of course, I know you must think I'm a very good person. In fact, your understanding is correct, and I like your sharpness very much."

"Young man." Elena rolled her eyes, trying to make herself look peaceful: "Although your technique of drawing characters is very delicate, and the lines you draw are very delicate. However, your method of picking up girls is really rough. And some behaviors It's really rude."

"Because I have never exercised this ability."

"Of course! Is there anyone who has exercised hundreds of times? Don't you have a first love? Isn't politeness the most basic thing?"

"You are my first love."

"Think about it with your brain!" Irina grabbed Zheng Qing's hair on the top of Zheng Qing's head angrily, and yelled, "Am I talking about this? You are selfish, old-fashioned, and have no interest at all." Little wizard! Don't you want to go away in peace and without giving any explanation?"

Several witches passing by watched the fight between the young wizards and wizards in this room, bit their ears, giggled and trotted past. No one stopped Irina's brutal behavior.

This made Zheng Qing feel that the world is going downhill, and people's hearts are not old.

"But in fact, I didn't really go away." The boy grabbed the girl's other hand to prevent being scratched: "And you also left me a seat in the old place of the library."

"I'm going to have lunch!" Yi Lianna shook off Zheng Qing's hand distractedly, turned around and left: "And my talisman has already passed the test, so I don't need to teach it."

"But what about the final exam?" Zheng Qing hurriedly caught up with the girls: "You can't learn those complicated runes just by reading books, let alone those complicated stroke sequences."

"I have "Hugong Siwen", I can completely memorize this book! It can fully support me in the exam! I can even get extra points in the talisman class!"

"Those words are dead, and I can't give you any effective advice! And the extra points for the talisman class can only be mine!"

"Oh, it can only be you? Then how about I get more points in the divination class?"

"That's a divination class! It won't help your talisman. Do you want to memorize that heavy, boring theoretical book all year long?"

"So what do you want me to carry with me all year? A selfish little wizard? Stubborn? Willful? A little wizard who can play more temper than a girl?"

"I'm not a little wizard! And I don't have a lot of temper around you!"

"That's because you're adding weight to your own scale! You think other people know what you want! In reality, no one knows what's going on in that little head of yours except yourself!"

"I'm thinking of you." Zheng Qing said dryly.

"Oh!" Elena slapped Own on the head.

a long time.

Yi Lianna snorted weakly: "Don't go to the Green Elf Restaurant, go to the thirty-second shop along the street in Beta Town to eat."

"Okay!" A bright smile appeared on Zheng Qing's face.

Then, he wondered, "What's the name of the thirty-second store?"

"How would I know!" Elena growled.
