Monster Hunting High School

In addition to the wizarding community, First University also has numerous vassal races of magical creatures.

Such as fishmen, nymphs, tauren, centaurs, giants, goblins, dwarves, etc. It's just that unlike the murloc tribe, which has a violent temper and has many dark histories, tribes of other magical creatures have a higher degree of freedom because they do not need to be under surveillance.

The most significant point is that other tribes of magical creatures can choose to live outside the school.

For example, many students at First University often only know their names but never see the giant tribe that stays in the heart of the Silent Forest all year round. Many students who are unlucky have never had the chance to meet them during their four years at First University. A living giant.

Another example is the tauren. Because they have a large number of tribesmen, relatively high intelligence, and strong fighting power, they can choose to live in the middle of the Silent Forest and compete for living space with all kinds of strange magical creatures in the forest. Often only when the Kuroshio comes every year, these tribes will briefly migrate to the protection of the First University.

In addition, there is also a very special type of vassal race that lives outside the school. However, due to their special habits, they do not have a fixed residence, but live in pursuit of water, grass and prey. The most famous of these races is the centaurs tribe.

Every summer and autumn, when the water and grass are plentiful and the prey is plentiful, the centaur tribe will migrate to the depths of the silent forest to avoid the coveted eyes of wizards; in late winter and early spring, when prey is scarce, the centaur tribe will move back to the vicinity of the school, passing through for The wizards work to earn some food and maintain the survival of the tribe.

Outside Alpha Castle, there is a small camp designated by the First University for this migrating centaur tribe, as a temporary residence for them during the spring famine. Because this camp is close to Beta Town, the school also entrusted Beta Town to manage it on its behalf.

When the centaur tribe needs it, the Beta Town Management Committee will hire North District magicians to clean the camp; outside of late winter and early spring, this camp will be rented out by the Beta Town Management Committee and used as a temporary open-air warehouse. , let the merchants in the town use it. The income from the lease is divided into three parts, one part is handed over to the First University Working Committee, the other part is collected by the Beta Town Management Committee in the name of management fees, and the last part will be given to the centaurs tribe as their additional income.

This happens every year, and there is no controversy at all.

But recently, the centaur tribe living outside Alpha Fort has become a little restless. They have raised questions about the way the Beta Town Management Committee handles rental income.

According to the opinion of the centaurs tribe, since the camp has been placed under the management of the centaurs tribe by the First University, the profits obtained will naturally be dominated by the centaurs tribe, instead of being equally divided into three parts like now. Especially one-third of it was taken away by the Beta Town Management Committee - this is equivalent to a property manager taking one-third of the owner's rent. Any wizard with a little business sense will not agree to such a contract.

That is to say, the centaurs tribe was too lazy to argue with the businessmen in Beta Town in previous years, so they allowed them to take advantage of it.

But this year, the centaurs felt they couldn't continue like this.

Tracing back to the origin, it is actually because the resurgence of silence came earlier last year. Due to the abnormal return of the silent tide, the ecosystem in the forest was damaged to a certain extent. In the past, the area where the centaur tribe could obtain sufficient food was still deserted in the early spring of this year. So the tribe had to stay in this camp for a longer period of time.

And the centaurs didn't have much business acumen, so they suffered a lot when making deals with wizards. The wealth they had accumulated in daily life was quickly depleted by the deception of profiteers in Beta Town.

In a normal year, the centaur tribe can receive many tasks in the town - such as assisting the town in defending against the Black Tide, acting as models for some artists, playing the blue side of a certain wizard hunting team, serving as a messenger, etc.

But this year, in addition to the centaur tribe, many other large and small magical creature tribes also suffered disasters and temporarily moved to the outskirts of the school. Therefore, the number and price of hiring centaur tribes in Beta Town are much lower. Especially those well-paid sparring, fighting and other jobs, a large part of them have been taken away by other tribes.

One by one, this spring has not yet ended, and the centaurs tribe has fallen into a rather embarrassing situation.

Not yet learning how to reduce expenditures, and unable to find new sources of income, after several meetings, the tribal elders finally turned their attention to the rent collected by the Beta Town Management Committee every year.

In addition, the tribe and the management committee did not sign any agreement at the time. It was just a verbal agreement. It was just a chance to adjust the rents by signing a formal contract.

The centaurs tribe has a good vision, but the management committee of Beta Town is not a free man.

As the only developed town outside the four colleges, the Beta Town Management Committee plays a big role in it, especially since many members of the management committee are composed of large and small merchants in the town. They will strictly control any violation of the 'agreement'. The behavior is deeply abhorrent. Even though the horse tribe did not sign any contract with the management committee.

From the perspective of the merchants, the centaurs tribe can propose to modify the rent sharing method today, but can they renegotiate the rent for the premises tomorrow? You know, there are very few empty open-air campsites around Alpha Fort, and there are very few such cheap rents.

Because it was related to their vital interests, the management committee flatly rejected the horse people's proposal to re-cut the rent.

This is how conflict arises.

Due to the existence of the First University, the conflict between the Beta Town Management Committee and the centaur tribe has been suppressed to a small extent. However, with the recent conflicts between the Fishman Tribe and Jiuyou Academy, many media outlets, including the Beta Town Post, and the Alpha Academy, have unanimously supported the Murloc Tribe’s actions in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests.

In the eyes of the centaurs, there is no essential difference between the fishman tribe's protection of their rights and interests in Linzhong Lake and the centaurs' tribe's protection of their rights and interests in the camp outside the fort.

Since the Alpha Academy supports the actions of the fish-men tribe, it naturally also supports the centaurs tribe.

Inspired by this, some young foals from the centaurs tribe felt that they could also learn the exciting methods of the murloc tribe and "go ashore" to ask for the profits they deserved from their opponents.

Moreover, in the eyes of these ponies, their opponents were not at the same level as the fish-men tribe, and they should be able to win more easily.

In this way, as the struggle at Linzhong Lake escalated, the conflict outside Alpha Castle also intensified.
