Monster Hunting High School

After parting ways with the Mouse Immortal and Korma, the black cat ran all the way, using the direction map provided by the Mouse Immortal, towards the outing place of Astronomy Class 08-1.

He felt that he could still save a little more.

It wasn't until he got close to the outing place and saw the fireworks signal rising in the sky not far away and the anxious shouts floating vaguely in the wind that Zheng Qing finally gave up.

"It's over." He hid behind a bush and stopped the transformation spell, turning back into a wizard. At the same time, he stared at the fireworks in mid-air as the color gradually changed from orange to red, like a funeral examination, with a sad face.

It seems that the class has been aware of their 'missing' for some time, and even the magic fireworks used as 'warning and summons' have turned red. Not to mention the shouts that were getting closer.

The young public-sponsored student even turned his head and glanced at the Resurrection Poplar next to him, considering whether to bump into it and knock himself out, so that he would still have some room for argument when facing his classmates and the school's investigation. .

But then, he recalled the warning from the Rat Immortal, hesitated for a while, and finally gave up the slightly drastic idea, and walked dejectedly in the direction of everyone.

…

"Where have you been?! Everyone has been looking for you for almost two hours!"

"Brother Qing, you're finished... Downton has already informed the school about your disappearance. People from the school working committee and student union will be here soon."

"Are you seduced by a water demon in the river or a nymph in the woods? Do you have any new stories to tell me? I promise to be anonymous when publishing and will not reveal your true identity!"

"Quick, quick, pretend to be weak, Jiang Yu might be coming! She was so angry just now..."

All kinds of comments surged up, instantly drowning out a certain wizard who had just appeared at the team building station. Some people, such as classmate Li Meng, feared that the world would not be in chaos, so they made loud noises that shook the world.

Zheng Qing looked numb, letting his companions surround him, and swarmed towards an old student. He was a fourth-year student who was responsible for student safety and was good at healing.

After just a quick glance, the old student said to everyone with certainty: "This classmate is very healthy and his breathing is normal. Although his spirit is a bit decadent, it is not serious... Let's go, let's go."

After that, he dispersed the crowd of onlookers, dragged Zheng Qing and got into the tent behind him.

The students' chatter was separated by the curtains, making it seem distant and empty.

In the slightly compact tent, several figures gathered together turned back and looked at the two wizards who had just entered.

In the corner of the tent, a brass teapot sat on a small stove, its slender curved mouth spitting out white steam, slowly flowing out like running water; in the overturned hourglass, there was still sand persevering through the narrow glass. Channel, recording the time that no one has paid attention to.

Several large hunting team posters were hung around the tent, blocking the cold wind that came in through the gaps. The hunters in the hunting team on the poster have long since disappeared, leaving only empty drawing papers hanging there, like strange abstract paintings.

The chairs made of mahogany were piled up in disorder, leaving enough space in the center of the tent.

A large square table was placed in the open space, and a huge sand table was placed on the table.

There are hills, valleys, forests, water, and a small bay in the sand table. With just a brief glance, Zheng Qing judged that the sand table showed the scene near the activity area of ​​Astronomy Class 08-1.

Standing near the square table were Downton, Jiang Yu, Xiao Xiao and Elena, as well as the senior students who had been sitting on the branches of the tree to warn Zheng Qing not to use magic to chop down trees, as well as the school janitor in gray robes and Assistant teacher in black robe.

At this moment, they all stared at the two wizards who appeared in the tent.

There was surprise and relief in his eyes, as well as anger and blame.

Zheng Qing felt a little at a loss.

The senior students didn't know Zheng Qing, the school teacher in gray robe, but Zheng Qing, the teaching assistant in black robe, was very familiar with them. It was their practical class teacher, Assistant Hilda. The first person in the tent to speak was the teaching assistant.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, why are you here every time!" Assistant Hilda looked unlucky, took out a bag of salt from somewhere, and sprinkled it all around Zheng Qing. While pouring, he also complained: "From last year to this year, I have only taken on a few jobs, and every time there are accidents!"

"Do the math, does the chartered flight last year count when the school started? We were actually touched by a little banshee. When we turned around, we were scolded by Old Yao. Then there was the Hunting Club, that dragon beast that appeared inexplicably. And then It's Dong Shou... It's better now, even if you go on an outing, I won't let you go!"

"What grudge or grudge?!"

Zheng Qing carefully avoided the white salt that was thrown at him, with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face, and he was too embarrassed to talk.

Although the next few things about assistant Hilda were unclear, Zheng Qing remembered them all clearly. Indeed, in a sense, the several activities that Zheng Qing participated in seemed to be quite unlucky. Either demons invaded or ancient beasts awakened.

But from another perspective, it is also possible that Hilda was too unlucky, causing Zheng Qing to have accidents every time.

The gray-robed school janitor interrupted Hilda's assistant teacher's complaint and said comfortingly: "It's good that I'm back and everything's fine... But now that I'm here, I still have to go through the process. Can you tell us, you Where did you go during the time you disappeared?”

The first sentence he said was to Hilda, and the last sentence was said looking at Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing grimaced and answered honestly: "I just looked at the interesting things in the forest and chased the mice and bugs for a while, but ended up getting lost... Because you can't use magic today on the Forbidden Magic Day, I didn't bring a compass or a map. So I couldn't come back. Later I saw the light of the magic fireworks and slowly found my way."

Hearing this answer, the tent felt a little cold for a while.

After a long while, the old man who once told Zheng Qing not to use magic to chop down trees rubbed his head and sighed: "If you say you can't use magic, then don't use magic... You are really honest. Did you pick up the firewood in the end?"

"I picked it up," Zheng Qing paused and added, "I lost it again when I was looking for the way."

"Ahem," the gray-robed school janitor coughed twice and looked at Zheng Qing with a smile: "It's a good thing to abide by the rules, but when necessary, you still have to be flexible... If it doesn't work, you can give it to me if you get lost. It’s okay for everyone to fly a paper crane.”

Zheng Qing touched his nose and didn't know how to interface.

They had said both truth and irony, what else could he say.
