Hunting High School

News of the postponement of the opening ceremony of the school hunting meeting spread on Thursday morning.

There are all kinds of rumors in the school.

From the monsters attacking the school’s stronghold in the Mariana Trench, to the massive uprising of the natives in the New World, or the resurgence of the Silent Forest this year brought some horrible creatures, the leaders of the school are all concerned. To suppress the restlessness of the forest.

In short, there are endless strange remarks.

Even after the pharmacy class started, there were still people whispering in the audience to discuss this issue.

Professor Li had to stop his opening remarks, and first announced the school's announcement to everyone—he originally planned to announce this when the get out of class was over.

"I know that many people have their own opinion about the postponement of this hunting meeting... This is not a reason for you not to take the class seriously." Professor Li's thin voice floated in the classroom, as if he would hold his breath at any time.

It also forces many students to stop concentrating and try to catch every word the professor utters.

"Because the security situation in the school is a little tense recently, after careful discussions between the professors' joint meeting and the school working committee, in order to ensure the personal safety of the students in the school, the opening ceremony of this year's school hunting meeting has been postponed to mid-October... The specific time has not yet been determined. But it will certainly take place before Frostfall."

"You should be able to get more detailed information from your counselor at your class meeting over the weekend."

"Well, that's all I know."

"I hope everyone can maintain a positive learning state in the next class, and don't be disturbed by external factors to the affairs you really need to pay attention to."

Speaking of this, Professor Li picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip of tea slowly.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he reached into his robe, fumbled for a long time, and held up a glass vial.

It contained a small half bottle of purple-black liquid, which shone with a mysterious color in the sunlight.

"Does anyone know what this is?" Professor Li raised his voice and looked at the young wizards in the classroom with inquiring eyes: "If you are not sure... Oh, everyone knows."

The second half of his sentence was interrupted by the arms raised in unison in the front row of the classroom.

Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.

There are many dark purple liquids, such as grape juice, potassium permanganate solution, litmus test solution and so on. Just based on the small bottle that the professor held up, from a distance, there is no way to clearly determine what is contained in it.

But to Zheng Qing's expectation, almost all the girls in the classroom raised their hands.

In contrast, among the boys, only Xiao Xiao raised his hand - it is not surprising that Dr. Xiao Da can even speak clearly about the color, flavor and style of this year's popular perfume.

"What's in the bottle?" Zheng Qing pushed the big doctor next to him with his arm.

Xin Fatty and Zhang Jixin, who were sitting in the front row, also cleverly turned their bodies to one side and pricked up their ears.

"Belladonna juice." Xiao Xiao's lips twitched slightly, and he explained quickly: "Belladonna, also called beauty grass, is a perennial herb belonging to the family Solanaceae, and it is native to Europa. It likes warmth and avoids cold and high temperature. , the smell is slightly bitter and pungent; the ripe berries are spherical, smooth, purple-black, and the juice is purple."

"But there's a lot of purple liquid!" Xin Fatty finally couldn't help it, turned his head, and retorted in a low voice: "I can read you a long list without looking in the encyclopedia..."

"But the most popular purple liquid in school recently is belladonna juice." Xiao Xiao glanced at Fatty expressionlessly: "This is why girls can recognize it, but you don't know it. "

"Why?" Zheng Qing urged curiously.

"Because belladonna juice has the effect of colored contact lenses." Xiao Xiao shrugged, and said the answer lightly: "This is a very ancient makeup method, which first emerged in the Apennine Peninsula... In medieval Italy, women used it to Own's eyes look bigger, and she will drip belladonna juice into her eyes... In fact, belladonna is spelled bella donna in Italian, which means beauty."

"Bella donna?" Zheng Qing read this somewhat familiar word and felt a little familiar.

"Ms. Bella?!" Xin Fatty looked like a ghost: "Ms. Bella means beautiful?...No offense, but I didn't realize how beautiful she is."

"Pfft." Zheng Qing lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders violently.

Mrs. Bella is the head nurse at the school hospital.

She was a tall, well-built female nurse.

As Xin Fatty said, the gap between this name and the word beauty is indeed a bit big.

"Everyone's name has a good wish, but not every good wish can come true." Zhang Jixin stopped the ridicule of several boys, and said in a very serious tone: "The name is a very serious carrier. It's very bad manners to make fun of someone's name."

"Sorry." Zheng Qing held back his smile, and expressed his own apology with a serious face.

Xin Fatty snorted twice, and quietly turned back to the front row.

On the podium, Professor Li didn't seem to notice the whispers among the boys in the corner. After pointing out a few girls to ask for answers, he waved his hand to signal others to put their arms down.

"I should have expected this result." The professor smiled lightly, his eyes gliding over the faces of the young wizards, and he slowly explained:

"Just like the previous students answered... this is belladonna juice."

"The potion made with the juice of ripe belladonna berries as the main raw material is often used by therapists in antispasmodic, analgesic, and antiperspirant prescriptions. It is very effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal colic and excess gastric juice secretion …The standard wolfbane potion contains belladonna, which can to a certain extent curb the werewolf's manic impulse to eat and the pain of transformation."

"Of course, girls should be aware of another side effect of belladonna juice - pupil dilation."

"That is mydriasis... Belladonna juice can expand your pupils to some extent, achieving the effect of non-physical contact lenses."

"But I singled it out today, not to recommend this ancient herbal essence to everyone..."

The professor's statement was very interesting, and suppressed laughter resounded in the classroom.

"Belladonna contains a variety of alkaloids—including hyoscyamine, scopolamine, and, to a lesser extent, atropine—that, in certain doses, are deadly venoms."

"Even if the dose is strictly controlled, prolonged mydriasis can cause loss of focus in the eyes, loss of vision, and even intermittent blindness in severe cases."

"As far as I know, no wizard has been able to obtain a certificate of registered wizard while blind."

"...Perhaps because of the school hunting party, the trading volume of herbal medicines with certain beauty effects, such as belladonna juice, has increased rapidly on campus recently... But Uncle Stendhal in Baicao Garden is not happy at all."

"It's not good news."

"You should concentrate more on your studies...so that when you become registered wizards, after a hundred years, your appearance will remain the same, and you will have plenty of time to dress yourself up."

"If you haven't become a registered wizard, it doesn't take fifty years for you to lose your face and look old."

The classroom was quiet, everyone held their breath and listened carefully to the professor's threat.

Especially girls.

Zheng Qing noticed that Li Meng was clutching her cousin's robe tightly, her face pale.

Her pupils also looked slightly larger than usual.

Not sure if belladonna juice was used.

On the podium, Professor Li's inculcation still did not stop.

"... You must know that the school hunt is just the beginning of the moon hunt, and the dance party is not the whole of the moon hunt... The moon hunt is a long event that lasts for a whole month... There are also many activities such as the hunting painting exhibition, the hunting song competition, etc. .”

"Don't blind yourself to the wider world."

"...Of course, at the end of the day, I also want to remind everyone...especially the ladies in the class."

"You are both young, beautiful with smooth skin and sparkling eyes - youth is the best beauty medicine. You are also charming without belladonna juice in your eyes."

"Beauty sustained by potions is as addictive as poppy."

"It will kill you slowly, too, like poppies."

"Remember, everyone has a yearning for beauty. But don't do things that you regret in order to maintain beauty and youth."
