Hunting High School

When Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu visited Dr. Du Zemu and mentioned their newly opened small shop, someone in an office less than a kilometer away from the Abnormal Life Research Institute also mentioned this issue.

It was an office at the north end of the first floor of the office building of Jiuyou University.

The door of the office was very clean. There were no door gods hanging on it, nor were there any other guardian charms or magic patterns engraved on it. It seemed to be an ordinary red wooden door. Although there was a bronze plaque hanging on the door lintel, due to the light, the characters on it were shrouded in dim shadow, making it difficult to see clearly.

In contrast to the clean wooden doors, the brass handles on the doors are also very clean and glisten in the dim light of the hallway.

The early morning sun in winter is not bright, and there is very little light that can shine into this corridor through the windows at the end of the corridor. But more or less, there is always a layer of faint light cast on the floor, leaving a long and narrow trace, as if shrouded in a light veil.

Then two shadows suddenly appeared in the halo, and walked silently along the center line of the corridor, the shadows became longer and longer as they went forward.

The leader was a tall, gray-haired young wizard. The large robe seemed to have been washed, and it covered him straightly. Even the collar that was originally soft stood up high, almost covering his body. The tip of the nose is covered.

Standing next to him was a blond Germanic man with tall stature and a straight nose, but the big bags under his eyes and slightly shaded eyelids made his image look pale, and he was different from the companion standing beside him. On the contrary, the robe worn by this wizard was crumpled, and the corners of the robe were still stained with mud, as if he had just driven a long way.

"Thomas, you don't need to be in such a hurry. You can go back and rest for a while before reporting." The young wizard in charge lowered his eyelids, his eyes gliding over his companion's tired face and the mud spots on the corner of his robe, and said softly: "At least Change your clothes first and take care of yourself."

"Old Yao is not Ms. Emma, ​​he won't care about such details." His companion, Zheng Qing's former interviewer Thomas Assistant Teacher twitched his mouth, showing a weak smile: "Doesn't it make me appear more Are you dedicated..."

Zhang Yu suddenly fell silent.

For a while, the corridor fell into silence again, except for the rustling footsteps of the two people, there was only the sharp and weird interrogation sound of the parrot on duty faintly coming from the front hall of the office building.

But as the two stood in front of the red wooden door, even the parrot's voice could not be heard.

"Oh, that's right." Just when Zhang Yu was about to knock on the door, he suddenly remembered something, moved his hand away from the door, reached into his robe, touched it, and took out a red and black card. Pass it to Thomas: "This is an invitation from your student. It seems to invite you to attend the opening ceremony of some store... You were not here a few days ago, so I signed for it for you. Hilda in the office also accepted it." Got an invitation for the same."

"My student?" Thomas raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I didn't have a fixed class schedule for me this semester, where are the students?"

"Jiuyou College's first-year male student named Zheng Qing." Zhang Yu thought for a few seconds before replying, "If I remember correctly, Lao Yao arranged for you to be his interviewer. Right."

"Oh, it's that kid." Thomas suddenly realized, nodded, and raised the red card in his hand.

With the faint light from the glass window at the end of the corridor, he could vaguely see the words 'd&k' and 'it is scheduled for December 20' on the card.

"December 20, it's next Saturday." Thomas murmured.

"Yes, it's the day before the winter solstice... maybe you can bring a plate of dumplings to accompany the ceremony." Zhang Yu smiled softly.

At this moment, the red wooden door in front of them opened with a 'hula', and then a rough voice came from the room: "You two bastards, how long are you going to stay outside the door?! I will come to the office early in the morning , not to sit here and listen to your small talk!"

The two teaching assistants looked at each other, laughed dryly, and hurried into the room.

As their shadows disappeared behind the threshold, the red wooden door slammed back and closed tightly again.

In line with the color of Jiuyou College, the main color of Professor Yao's office has always been bright red.

A deep red carpet, a tall mahogany bookcase, a maroon desk, and a few soft leather chairs with red leather - the only difference from the last time Thomas came was that today there was a pot of red leaves on the desk. plant.

"It's a pot of deep valley flame net grass, a Christmas gift from a certain classmate." Sensing the gaze of the teaching assistant, Professor Yao said angrily: "Maybe I should change to another college as the dean... I don't know why , everyone seems to think that I like red. Can you believe that I have collected almost a hundred red scarves this year? This is not the year of birth!"

"You can donate those scarves to the Juggler's House in the North End," Thomas suggested with a smile.

"It's a good idea." Lao Yao snorted, and pushed the small box of shredded tobacco on the table to the edge of the table, and at the same time pushed a red and black card into the drawer.

Thomas blinked.

"Is that Zheng Qing's invitation card? He also sent you an invitation card?" He probably thought it was a very interesting thing, and couldn't help but stretch his neck, as if he wanted to see it more clearly.

"Hmm, he's quite an interesting little guy, but he's not very peaceful." Lao Yao bit his pipe, sat down on the wide seat behind him, and at the same time stretched out his fingers, knocking on the red and black invitation card, The tone was a bit helpless: "Opening a shop?! It's a nonsense...Students should stay in school seriously to learn knowledge, what kind of shop to open!"

"Restless? That's not enough... I remember he was a very well-behaved kid." Maybe Thomas felt that Lao Yao's evaluation was a bit biased, so he couldn't help but add: "Maybe this is the generation gap, young people nowadays It’s different from us at the beginning, and we don’t necessarily like to put all our energy into learning Life.”

"If you behaved well, you wouldn't have received a punishment notice from the school work committee right after school started!" Lao Yao puffed out two puffs of smoke heavily from his nose, like an angry fire dragon.

"Well, the school working committee gave him a very good evaluation." Zhang Yu, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly said, "In the practice reports of the past few weeks, the school working committee gave them excellent evaluations."

"You two...do you have a little bit of awareness to talk to your superiors?!" Old Yao sighed deeply, took another heavy puff of his pipe, and muttered, "It's really self-inflicted... stop talking nonsense, Zhang Yu reports first, tell me about the winter hunting arrangements, Thomas, you can take advantage of this time to squat on the sofa in the back for a while."
