Monster Hunting High School

All students at First University have a practical course in their class schedule.

This course is a school-wide basic course and is a compulsory course for every student. However, it is not included in the annual teaching plan by the Professors' Joint Conference. On the contrary, it is like a temporary course, and the arrangement of classes and lecturers is very random.

For example, key subjects such as talismans, divination, and astronomy often occupy the class time of practical classes; for another example, the teachers teaching practical classes are basically teaching assistants. In the entire First University, almost no one has heard of a professor who teaches this course.

Looking at the four-year study arrangement planned by First University for its students, the practical classes stand out in terms of class hours.

In the class schedule of a freshman, there is only one practical class per week; but in the class schedule of a sophomore or junior, this class will be arranged for a whole day; by the senior year, many Students may even spend more than half of their study time on this course.

The class hours occupied are so prominent, the credits are frighteningly high, and the practical classes do not help the young wizards at all in their many assessments as advanced registered wizards.

Therefore, many people call this course 'tasteless'.

Xiao Xiao once analyzed with Zheng Qing the reasons why practical classes became useless.

In his view, the emergence of this contradiction is inevitably related to the teaching objectives of practical courses.

The main goal of the practical class is to guide young wizards to become familiar with magic techniques, master the various magics they learn in daily life, and use them flexibly in monster hunting activities.

This means that in this class, students need to spend a lot of time practicing magic skills instead of consolidating the corresponding theoretical foundation of magic. However, in many assessments for registered wizards, theoretical knowledge of magic plays a very large proportion.

To simply understand, the relationship between practical courses and other courses in the curriculum is similar to the relationship between 'body and function' and 'dao and technique'.

Of course, for the vast majority of young wizards who have just entered university, they do not pay too much attention to the secrets behind the curriculum, let alone the intricate relationship between theory and practice.

For practical classes, students are more concerned about whether they can really see those terrifying and ferocious monsters in class.

Being able to see all kinds of monsters is the biggest expectation of many people in this course.

After all, freshness and excitement have always been a great attraction for young people.

However, for freshmen, it is difficult to see real monsters in class in the first semester.

The school will not allow young wizards to face the most terrifying things in the world unprepared.

They need to practice their magic skills and become proficient in combat skills during the first semester's adaptation process.

Therefore, for Zheng Qing and his companions, this practical class may be more appropriately called a combat class or a fighting class.

"I just wanted to say one thing in the last class." Zheng Qing stood under a few thick purple bamboos, looking at the bustling crowd in the distance, and said thoughtfully: "Have you noticed the number of people in this class? Quite a lot.”

Fatty Xin and Zhang Jixin stood a few steps away, competing with each other in front of a huge piece of granite, and ignored his question.

Xiao Xiao leaned against the bamboo quietly and silently looked through his notebook.

"Did you hear my question?" Zheng Qing shook the bamboo on which Xiao Xiao was leaning, and hummed feebly: "Aren't you tired of looking at that notebook all day?"

"It's annoying." Xiao Xiao replied with a pun: "According to the class schedule issued by the professors' joint meeting, almost all the practical classes for freshmen at First University are scheduled for this time period on Friday afternoon. There are more people. , no surprise.”

"Why!" Zheng Qing was startled, and couldn't help but turn around to look at the number of people in the valley, and shouted: "I just said, there are not so many people in the morning exercise! Is there something wrong with the class scheduling system? "

"What is the course scheduling system?" Xiao Xiao looked at him doubtfully: "The professors naturally have their reasons for arranging it this way."

"Maybe it's just laziness." Duan Xiaojian suddenly emerged from the bamboo forest. He seemed to have heard what the two were discussing, and interrupted: "Maybe it's just for convenience."

"Convenient?" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows.

"Didn't you hear what the old students said?" Duan Xiaojian seemed to be very keen to inquire about all kinds of gossip in the school: "The old students said that the school arranged this class on Friday afternoon just to allow everyone to study in the next two days. There will be enough time to recuperate on the weekend so that it will not delay other classes next week.”

"Recuperate?" Zheng Qing's throat felt a little tight.

"Recuperate!" Duan Xiaojian looked serious and nodded affirmatively.

"It's not that serious," Zheng Qing laughed dryly, looking at the thin boy in front of him, trying his best to think on the bright side: "Maybe those old students are just scaring you."

"Whether it's a threat, I don't know." Duan Xiaojian shook his head, dragged Zheng Qing, pointed to a few figures wearing green robes on the edge of the crowd, and said, "Did you see that? That's Mrs. Bella!"

Mrs. Bella is tall and fat, and her blue healer's robe is tightly stretched around her body. She stands out among a group of young wizards and several young nurses, making her stand out.

She is the head nurse of the First University Hospital. It is difficult to see her on campus on weekdays. Beside her, several young nurses sat on the huge medical kit, looking at the energetic figures in front of them with smiles.

"In addition to arranging lecturers for each practical class, the school will also arrange for Mrs. Bella to lead the elves from the school hospital to stay at the edge of the Green Valley." At this point, Duan Xiaojian paused and changed An inevitable tone emphasized: "Doesn't this mean something?"

"There's no wind without fire." Fatty Xin left the granite at some point, walked over to a few people, shook his head and said, "She's there, and everyone can't help but think wildly."

Zheng Qing pursed his lips. Although he still had reservations about the rumor, he still felt nervous in his heart.

"'Green Valley' is not an open place." Xiao Xiao finally spoke again. He adjusted his glasses, looked around, and said thoughtfully: "Since Mrs. Bella is not a lecturer in the practical class, then she can stand in Here, it only proves that she is needed here.”

‘Green Valley’ is the classroom for practical classes, and all practical classes are taught here.

This is an open valley.

The valley is surrounded by rolling hills and there is no steep mountain col.

There is ankle-deep grass under your feet, which is soft and elastic when you step on it, like a carpet.

Along the hills, there are rolling and lush bamboo forests on the slopes.

The breeze blows and the bamboo leaves rustle, which is refreshing.

"I have always felt that the grasses all over the mountains and plains in the green valley are a bit too soft." Duan Xiaojian squatted on the ground, stirring the soft grasses with his fingers, squeezing out their thick leaves: "Now it seems that maybe these grasses are too soft." It is our protective pad that can minimize the damage we suffer during the fight.”

Zheng Qing took a deep breath and resisted the urge to run away.

When he was a child, his husband always warned him that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall.

Now, he felt like he was standing in the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt.

"Don't be nervous." Zhang Jixin moved his body excitedly and clenched his fists loudly: "We will always face monsters. If you don't want to meet Nikita next time and be beaten like a dog by her, then this is the place Our best whetstone!”
