Hunting High School

In the wizarding world, the malicious killing of innocent small animals is a serious crime and is generally considered to be second-level murder. Especially in wizard settlements like First University, Four Seasons Square, and Beta Town, the identification of such behaviors is even stricter.

This is for the purpose of protecting wizards.

In modern magic, Transfiguration is a widely spread and used magic. In long-term practice, wizards have gradually summed up many characteristics of Transfiguration. One of the most important ones is called "Mundell's Paradox".

Mundell's paradox is also known as the impossible triangle.

This law means that it is impossible for a wizard to realize the free transformation of species, independence of will, and stability of magic power at the same time.

The free transformation of species refers to the process of wizards transforming from human form to other biological forms; independence of will means that wizards can still maintain their original will after transformation and will not be polluted by transformed species; magic stability means that after transformation, Wizard magic doesn't riot due to form changes.

To explain it in common words, if a wizard wants to successfully perform the transformation technique, he can only complete the above two at the same time, or one at the same time, not three.

If a wizard wants to have an independent will after successful transformation, he must give up his magic power to avoid a riot in magic power; if a wizard wants to have the stability of magic power after successful transformation, he must give up his independent will and have a brand new life consciousness. Of course, the wizard can also choose not to transform, so he can always maintain his own independent will and magic power.

This means that, except for some guys who are willing to be completely schizophrenic, most wizards who have cast Transfiguration will become ordinary little animals with no magic power.

Moreover, the wizards also discovered in the process of practice that the more powerful the wizard, the weaker the creature transformed through the transformation technique. For example, some great wizards become a frog after being transformed—a green-skinned frog that can't even beat a duck even though it can talk.

Although this well-known law has not been verified theoretically, in practice, wizards will acquiesce that it is a law.

Therefore, the criminal law part of the "Wizard Code" has been revised many times over the past 100 years, and it is finally clear that any killing of innocent small animals is a serious crime.

Protecting small animals is protecting the wizard himself.

This has become a long-established convention.

In order to implement this principle, many powerful wizards did not hesitate to send their own avatars to Baiding World to promote the concept of human beings' compassion and protection for small animals, so as to protect their own interests from the widest range.

Zheng Qing is not very clear about this so-called impossible triangle law, but since the first day he came into contact with the wizarding world, he has been told repeatedly that wizards must never harm small animals.

Therefore, when he faced a kitten whose eyes had been gouged out, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

But Jiang Yu is different.

After the kitten on the rockery was hugged to the ground, the magician from a big family knelt and sat in front of it, silent for a long time.

"This is unreasonable." Jiang Yu finally spoke. She lowered her eyelids, staring at the silent kitten, and murmured, "Why didn't the school respond to such a serious murder? Even if the school has independent judicial and law enforcement powers , you don’t need to consider outside public opinion, but this is second-level murder!”

"What is a second-level murder?" Zheng Qing lowered his voice and asked Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao originally planned to go to the library, but saw two classmates standing and kneeling by the Linzhong Lake. After briefly asking about the situation, he did not leave immediately, but stayed quietly by the lake with the two of them.

A large leaf floated down from the tung tree, wandering with the wind, like a swing, swaying, and finally landed on the lake.

A few frogs in the process of metamorphosis climbed up the leaves from the water, greedily breathing the refreshing air under the sun.

Xiao Xiao stared blankly at the scene, a little lost in thought, and didn't hear Zheng Qing's inquiry.

"What is a second-level murder?" Zheng Qing poked him and asked again in a low voice.

Xiao Xiao finally came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and briefly explained to Zheng Qing the considerations of the 'Mundell Paradox' and the "Wizard Code".

"In other words, crushing an ant is considered murder?" Zheng Qing was shocked.

He felt that there was nothing more magical than this.

"Insects such as ants are not counted." Xiao Xiao explained: "At present, it is known that the transformed creatures of wizards are basically endothermic animals, and most of them are within the range of the twelve zodiac signs. Therefore, when formulating criminal law interpretations, Only some insects and cold-blooded animals are included."

"Cats are also considered as zodiac signs?" Zheng Qing looked at the watermelon head numbly, feeling that his own IQ had been hurt.

"Listen to my attributives, most of them." Xiao Xiao emphasized: "Also, in some countries, cats do belong to the twelve zodiac signs."

"That's weird." Zheng Qing looked at the dead kitten thoughtfully, and muttered, "As you said, if this counts as a second-level murder, then the school's reaction is a bit strange... Moreover, none of the crowd of onlookers went to look for the relevant department, which is too strange."

"It's very strange." Xiao Xiao pulled out his own timer and patted him on the shoulder: "You stay with Jiang Yu first, I'll go to the library to look up information."

"You still need to check the information?" Zheng Qing's face was full of disbelief.

Xiao Xiao didn't speak, and left in a hurry with a dark face.

After a long time, Jiang Yu finally spoke again:

"I've always wanted to have a cat."

"But because of the constraints of family conditions, I have not been able to do so."

"I heard that there are a lot of small animals on the campus of First University, so I came to the school one month in advance to see if there is a chance to adopt a kitten in the school."

"The first day I came to school, I encountered it."

"At that time, the kitten was only a little bit big." Jiang Yu sniffled, her eyes were a little red, and she stretched out her hand to draw: "It's just that big. It's nested under that big bluestone by itself."

[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, Yeguo Reading, yeguoyuedu install the latest version. 】

Perhaps because of kneeling for a long time, Jiang Yu's body swayed.

Zheng Qing quickly helped her up.

Jiang Yu grabbed his arm and clenched it tightly, her voice choked up:

"At the beginning, the kitten didn't eat anything, but just screamed and crawled along the bluestone road by the lake. It was skinny, and the fur on its body was hardened."

"Maybe its parents dropped it here."

"The nurses of the school work committee acted very rudely. Whether it was cleaning or feeding, it seemed like abuse. I couldn't stand it, so I submitted an application and voluntarily adopted it."

"According to the doctor's opinion at home, I managed to get some fish-flavored dairy products, and the little one started to eat."

"Gradually, it became familiar with me. If I don't feed it every day, it won't eat."

Having said that, Jiang Yu sniffled and let out a long breath.

"Don't be sad." Zheng Qing comforted awkwardly, but couldn't say anything.

Jiang Yu looked at the kitten silently, and squeezed Zheng Qing's arm painfully.

"Do you want to recite the Sutra of Rebirth to it?" Zheng Qing suggested in a low voice.

"I've already read it." Jiang Yu thanked in a low voice.

"Then where is it buried?" Zheng Qing looked around for a suitable place.

"I'll let my family handle it." Jiang Yu grabbed Zheng Qing's arm, stood up with difficulty, and swayed in the breeze: "The school must give it an explanation."

Zheng Qing was silent.

"Don't let me know who did it!" Jiang Yu pursed her lips and wiped her eyes: "Let's go... I have an appointment with the doctor at 9:30, and it's already very late."

"If it's inconvenient today, you can choose another day." Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was inappropriate to bother Jiang Yu on such a day.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Yu raised his head, glanced at him, and forced a smile: "You can wait, but your elves can't wait... My cat is gone, if your The little elf also had an accident, I guess we can only hug each other and cry."

Zheng Qing raised his head, feeling that his eyes were a little dry.

"The sky is cloudy and the wind is strong." He lowered his head, wiped his face with his robe carelessly, then raised his head, showing a bright smile: "Let's go! Don't keep your friend waiting."
