Monster Hunting High School

Nicholas became increasingly silent.

Apart from Liu Feifei, who studied with him every day, only Zheng Qing and a few people could see this. Although most people in the class did not cynicize Nicholas as much as foreign students or Alpha students did, they did not stand behind him and cheer him on.

Because ever since Nicholas threw his 'self-justification' into the newspaper, the focus of public opinion has escalated from 'an ordinary nine-year-old student's views on the fish-man riots' to the college conflict of 'freedom and equality'.

Public opinion in Alpha concluded that Nicholas was under pressure from within Jiuyou Academy, so his defense in the newspaper lacked credibility. Public opinion became even more uproar after the Beta Town Post released the full record of the interview, saying it had not been taken out of context. There are many voices in Alpha Castle who regard Nicholas as a 'liar', 'coward' and 'a man of no faith'.

Similarly, there are few supporters of Nicholas in Jiuyou Academy. On the one hand, before Nicholas entered Jiuyou Academy, the first college he entered was the Alpha Academy. This made him seem to be born with some kind of 'sin', and his speech on the 'Fishman Incident' further proved it. This point; on the other hand, Nicholas's behavior of easily changing his position after being pressured by public opinion also gave Jiuyou College a handle on others, as if the college did not allow students to express their positions.

This sounds contradictory, but it is true.

Pharmacy class on Thursday.

In the corner of the Potions class, Liu Feifei cut off an herb with wooden scissors and handed it to Nicholas. In order to prevent others in the class from speaking ill of him, the witch specifically applied to be in the same potion-making group as him.

"Star grass has a spicy, warm and fragrant nature. It connects the heart and spleen internally and reaches the limbs externally. It can detoxify and relieve pain." The witch whispered and handed the herb to Nicholas' hand: "Chop it into pieces and scald it with boiling water."

With a stiff smile on his face, Nicholas took the piece of herbs and started working silently. This made the witch's face look more worried. She raised her head uneasily and looked around.

Everyone in the classroom was paying attention to the crucible and medicine jar in front of them, and no one was looking at them.

Liu Feifei didn't know which situation was worse, turning a blind eye or treating her like scum, but she knew that she didn't like either situation. She hopes that everyone will face Nicholas with a normal attitude like her.

On the podium, Professor Li Qihuang's weak voice came, as if coming from the distant horizon: "...After the star grass is ground, simmer it in boiling water, then mix it with onion juice, and stir it clockwise for nine and a half times with a jade spoon. , add three qian of warm wine. Here we often use Shaoxing rice wine as a condiment. Its mild nature can make the medicinal effect evaporate slowly..."

Nicholas carefully mixed the potion according to the professor's instructions. On the contrary, Liu Feifei was a little confused. She either measured the wrong weight of the rice wine or stirred it in the wrong direction.

After a few times, she became increasingly frustrated.

"Am I useless?" The witch pursed her lips and her eyes were a little red. She was not only annoyed at the small pot of magic medicine in front of her, but also annoyed at her own inability to deal with Nicholas.

The stiff expression on the wizard's face finally softened a lot.

"No, absolutely not." His tone was very firm: "If you, as the chief student, feel that you are useless, then I should throw myself into the Mariana Trench and serve as a snack to the big sea monster."

"You haven't passed the exam as a registered wizard yet. The Siren King won't eat snacks like yours. It's too embarrassing." The witch couldn't help but smile, and her mood finally improved a little. Anyway, Nicholas still jokes, which is a good sign.

The wizard twitched his lips in cooperation and turned to look out the window.

"Don't worry, I'm strong."

He murmured, looking at the blurry face reflected in the glass window, and said silently to himself: "If there are two things in this world that I am good at, then one is to protect my sister, and the other is to Learn to be strong.”

"Well, now I have to add one more thing...to protect your peace of mind."

Thinking of this, the wizard grinned and made a happy smile.

In the aisle near the window, a figure in a white robe was slowly passing by. As if aware of the sight behind the window, the white-robed wizard glanced at him casually.

Nicholas' eyes seemed to be stabbed, and he suddenly shrank back.

…

…

Sir Friedman looked away, feeling that the face behind the window looked familiar.

But looking at the appearance of this classroom, it seems that a group of first-year students are taking potions class. Friedman didn’t think he would know any of the first-year students from Jiuyou—except Zheng Qing and Matthew. The former has embarrassed his subordinates two times and three times, and the latter is his cousin. Naturally, he is no stranger to the two of them.

The steaming mist in the Potions classroom made the face a little blurry.

After thinking for a long time, Jazz finally remembered who the familiar face belonged to when he reached the end of the corridor and was about to turn.

Nicholas Green Oswall.

The half-werewolf who had attended school with him was a half-Oswall hybrid. He once thought that this half-werewolf had certain qualities that other hybrids did not have, and he also considered letting him participate in activities in his lounge. But later facts proved that some qualities can never be made up for.

Bastards are just hybrids after all, and no matter how noble their mixed blood is, they can't hide the despicable aura of their other half.

Just like the incident that caused a lot of commotion recently.

A wizard with a sense of honor would never change his position under inexplicable pressure, let alone make up lies in a newspaper. Whenever he thought about this matter, Sir Friedman had the urge to extract the blood of the Oswal family from Nicholas, so as not to tarnish the glory of Yuexia.

But this is First University, not the castle of the Cullen family, nor the lawless hunting grounds outside the school. Except for practical classes and hunting competitions, First University does not allow students to take out Dharma books from each other.

"It's a really bad world."

Sir Friedman's gloomy eyes swept across the corridor and past the gray world outside the window. For a moment, his mood became particularly bad.

Because Nicholas reminded him of the harassment of the fish-men tribe, and then of the riot of centaurs outside Alpha Castle that he dealt with. The same method but different results made him see the disappointment in Augustus's eyes.

He had never seen the same disappointment in the eyes of Augustus when he looked at Serprano's fat man.

This gave Jazz an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart.

And this is also the reason why he appears in this stairwell at this moment.
