Monster Hunting High School

The Forbidden Day is a traditional festival in the wizarding world. It is usually held one hundred days after the winter solstice and one week before the Qingming Festival. On this day, wizards will spontaneously stop using any spells and start making fires, cooking, hiking, and communicating just like mortals. Therefore, this day is also called "mortal birthday" by wizards, which means a day of mortal life.

The reason for such a weird festival is said to be derived from an old story passed down from generation to generation.

According to legend, a long time ago, a great wizard lost himself in the pursuit of power and turned into a monster that only hunted wizards.

This monster is more terrifying than the demon. Most monsters only eat the flesh of wizards and drink the blood of wizards, but that monster didn't even spare the soul of the wizard. What's worse is that the monster can sense the magic fluctuations when the wizards cast spells and track the wizards who cast the spells.

In order to avoid being chased by monsters, wizards gave up their power one after another, stopped casting spells, and began to live silently like mortals, getting sick, aging, and dying.

The advantages and disadvantages of this are obvious. The advantage is that the monster cannot be hunted by the fluctuation of magic power when the wizard casts the spell, leaving a certain buffer time for ordinary wizards; the disadvantage is that this behavior greatly suppresses the development of the entire wizarding world, so that there are nearly Over the past hundred years, there have been huge gaps and regressions in the magic skills of the entire world.

During that dark age, most ordinary wizards were no different from ordinary people. They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and were as fearful of natural and man-made disasters as if they were facing an abyss or walking on thin ice.

It was not until a few years later that warriors from all over the world gathered together to kill the monster that the wizarding world returned to its former peace and freedom.

In order to commemorate those warriors and the wizards who were hunted by monsters; and to remember those dark times, at the initiative of a large number of wizards, the wizards chose to stop on the last weekend before the energy tide returns in the year. Use all magic and witchcraft to express your condolences and reward your bravery.

It has been going on for thousands of years.

As time goes by, many customs of this festival have changed several times, and many contents have been added or deleted, but its most fundamental habit of 'forbidding evil' has remained the same and has been continued.

Today's 'Forbidden Demon Day' generally starts at Mao hour and ends at You hour every day, from about 6 am to 6 pm, lasting a whole day - some wizarding families with strict rules will also take this The time period is extended to 5 am to 7 pm; but some wizards choose 7 am to 5 pm, so that the time when not using magic will be slightly shorter. To name a few.

In short, there are no very rigid rules for the time for banning magic during the Forbidden Demon Festival, and most wizards are more casual.

Being unable to use magic means that wizards cannot work, study, or live a normal life.

Therefore, on this day, many wizards who have been immersed in laboratories all day will walk out of the door to feel the long-lost sunshine and vernal equinox, and enjoy a short but short feeling of freedom.

First University will also take this opportunity to organize spring outings for students, using the natural beauty to soothe the restless atmosphere of the young wizards in spring.

Because there are so many students going out on the same day, the entire Phuket Island is very short of space suitable for spring outings.

Every day on this day, the old students in the school would invariably 'bully' the lower grade students - they often pre-selected the place for the next year's Anti-Magic Festival at the end of the previous year's Anti-Magic Festival.

This time advantage cannot be made up by first-year students.

The old students have long occupied the excellent outing places with beautiful mountains and clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers, long grass and flying orioles, pink flowers and green willows, etc. All that is left for the first-year students are some nooks and crannies on the island.

Of course, "horns and nooks and crannies" does not mean that these places are dangerous or the environment is bad. After all, this is the island where First University is based, so no matter how bad the environment is, it can't be any worse. The main reason why these places are bad is that they are far away from food, fuel and clean water. This was extremely bad for a young wizard who couldn't use magic all day long.

Astronomy Class 08-1 is also such an unlucky first grade class.

However, with the help of squad leader Downton and several "powerful" family members in the class, under Lao Yao's banner, they were able to find a place that was not so bad.

It was a depression near the edge of the coast of Phuket Island, located at the foot of a hill. There was an open grassland nearby, and there were some sparse evergreen shrubs on the periphery of the rolling hills. Further away, there is the boundless sea and silent forest.

Across the hill, the beautiful beaches outside already have their owners.

In the small hill, the young wizards clumsily supported the shed, the fire, set up the iron pots, and packed away the pots, pans, and various food materials, creating a chaotic scene.

Because Zheng Qing had a rich life history as a "Bai Ding", he took up the task of burying the stove and lighting the fire. Jiang Yu also arranged for the knowledgeable Dr. Xiao Da to serve as an assistant. Combining knowledge and experience, the two of them did a decent job.

In this way, while lighting the fire, Zheng Qing came to relax and discuss the story behind the 'Forbidden Demon Festival' with Xiao Xiao. He was very interested in the identity of the wizard who turned into a monster, the warriors who finally killed the monster, and what the legendary principal of First University was doing at that time.

Unlike him, Xiao Xiao doesn't like to talk about the facts that have "already happened". He prefers to pursue the deeper things expressed in this story.

"This story tells us that the world of wizards is very dangerous." Dr. Xiao Da always becomes extremely serious when doing this kind of analysis: "If you choose to surpass the great wizard and embark on that road full of thorns, you will face not only Not only is there huge economic pressure, but there is also a deep malice in this universe and this starry sky.”

"Look at the consequences of those wizards who failed to break through!"

"You're lucky if you become an octopus or a big mouse. At least you retain your magic power and a small life."

"More wizards were wiped out in the process of rushing to the realm. It is difficult to even collect a tomb... Those unlucky ones will be wiped out completely by the disaster along the line of cause and effect."

"There are even worse things, those like the Old Ones, the Lich King, the Siren King, and the senior who 'created' the Forbidden Demon Festival. Not only did they lose themselves and become slaves of chaos and chaos, but they also became slaves of chaos and chaos. Enemy of the entire wizarding world."

"It's a very sad thing to think about."
