Monster Hunting High School

The Forbidden Demon Festival is a traditional festival for wizards, usually held one hundred days after the winter solstice and one week before the Qingming Festival. According to this standard, this year's Forbidden Day is on March 28th, which is still three weeks away, almost a month away.

In other words, there is still plenty of time, and Zheng Qing has enough time to prepare mentally for this outing.

In contrast, his daily study, which was gradually getting on track, put more pressure on him.

Maybe the school feels that the students have passed the adjustment stage in the first semester of freshman year, maybe it’s because of the promotion exam that will be held in less than half a year, or maybe it’s the conflicts between student clubs that make the professors feel that everyone has too much time. abundant.

In short, just two weeks into the second semester, Zheng Qing felt tremendous study pressure.

On the one hand, the learning content has become more difficult. For example, subjects such as Charms and Magical Literature have begun to deviate from actual spells and other content, and teach some very theoretical things. For most people, including Zheng Qing, this type of course is more terrifying than the hypnotic spell. What’s even more frightening is that if you lose your focus for a moment during class, you will have no idea what the professor is going to say next.

On the other hand, extracurricular tasks have also become more arduous. Less than a month into the school year, the students have already received three papers, four experimental reports, nine test papers, and several after-school exercises. What Zheng Qing regrets the most is the fish-people common language he took as an elective in the second week of school. He was given a text on Yuman language and required to recite the entire text, so that when he was planting morning glory in the dormitory and listening to the recording to study, he was scratched many times by the irritable Tuantuan.

Simply devilish.

Of course, compared to other students, Zheng Qing is lucky because he has profound knowledge in talismanology. Professor Zhang has nothing more to teach him, so Zheng Qing can transfer a lot of energy to this class. to other aspects.

Such as divination.

As Professor Yao mentioned before when sorting out the essence of magic, in a broad sense, divination is a linear analysis of dimensions; in a narrow sense, divination is an analysis of the 'timeline' of a specific dimension.

In the first year of college, Zheng Qing and others were exposed to divination in the narrow sense and related practical methods. Such as smoke divination, tarot card analysis, astrology divination and the 'trend divination method' which they will officially start teaching next semester, etc.

"I understand the truth...but why do we need to bring a weekly diary?" Zheng Qing sat in his seat, shook the notebook in his hand, and was confused by Professor Yi's request: "To be honest, we are taking a divination class instead of Let’s hold a regular class meeting!”

"This is what Professor Yi requested." Downton held the noteboard and stood next to the public-funded student. He tilted his head and looked at the notebook in Zheng Qing's hand: "So, you brought a weekly notebook, right?"

The time has arrived, March 3rd, which is the Tuesday of the third week of the second semester.

The same as last semester, there is a divination class on Tuesday morning, and the class location is still in classroom 1001, east annex of the teaching building.

It's a quarter past eight in the morning, less than fifteen minutes before class starts, and the classroom is already full of students. It's just that instead of bustling around and whispering to each other, everyone is silent and immersed in homework, or catching up on sleep. This made the little stick figure behind the door extremely disappointed.

It has been counting on these students in class to bring it some fun.

As the monitor of Astronomy Class 08-1, Downton has always been the link between professors and classmates. What orders the professor needs to convey to the students, and what students need to give feedback to the professor, are mostly practiced through the monitor of Tang University.

Just like today's divination class, Professor Yi asked all students to bring their "weekly diaries" to class before class, so before class, Downton checked each student one by one to ensure that everyone had brought their notebooks.

The so-called "weekly diary" is the diary that Professor Yao requires everyone to write every week on the first day of school. The content involves daily life, mood, thoughts, etc. In the early days, Lao Yao asked some students to come to the podium to read their weekly diaries.

This requirement has continued to this day, and will be checked at every regular meeting - just last weekend, because he forgot to write it, Zheng Qing frantically wrote an additional article before the regular meeting.

Seeing Downton's head stretched out, Zheng Qing raised the notebook in his hand and muttered: "I did bring it with me...but you haven't told me why you want this thing."

"It is said that it has something to do with the new divination technique that we will learn today." Downton grabbed the quill and put a check mark on the noteboard, then turned and walked to the next classmate. Before leaving, he reminded: "About this Yes, you can ask the doctor, he should know."

Hearing this, Zheng Qing tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes and hummed: "I don't know, I'm too lazy to tell, don't ask me...can't you just do a preview before class?"

Zheng Qing flipped through the "Basic Yi Xue·First Year of College (Volume 2)" at hand. When he saw the complicated and unspeakable terminology, large text explanations and dazzling diagrams, he immediately folded the textbook again.

"Well, there's no rush... Anyway, the professor will tell us soon." He explained his behavior in a serious tone.

Xiao Xiao tried very hard not to hit Zheng Qing's face with the notebook in his hand.

Zheng Qing’s prediction this time was very accurate—perhaps it was one of the few things he could accurately predict—after class, Professor Yi easily mentioned the role of weekly diaries:

"As I mentioned when I first gave you a divination class, any kind of divination requires a huge amount of information resources as fuel. And the 'trend divination' you are about to learn today uses resources from in these weekly diaries.”

The professor walked off the podium, stood next to Li Meng's desk, and picked up the little witch's pink weekly diary. He completely ignored Li Meng's pale face and just taught the class at his own pace:

“What is a trend?”

"The trend is the direction in which things develop. It's just that this direction is not clear enough, it's still vague, it's volatile, and it's uncertain... Does it sound familiar?"

"Exactly! In a sense, divination is actually a discipline that studies 'precise trends'!"

"In the past, the divination techniques we learned tended to be accurate divination, divination for other people, or divination for certain things. But the trend divination method is different."

"The trend divination method is mainly suitable for wizards to predict their own future, and this kind of divination is fuzzy divination. Wizards can only get a rough fortune from this divination method, and it is difficult to be precise about something or a certain person."

"Open the textbook, Chapter 2, Section 1."

"To learn the trend divination method, we first learn the chart making method based on this divination method. Although the description in the book seems complicated, I can responsibly tell you that this is what all of you have learned during your four-year college career. The simplest divination method that everyone can learn and master.”

"It requires the least amount of talent on your part."

"The only thing required is a little patience and your intuition as a wizard."
