Monster Hunting High School

Familiarize yourself with the rules in advance when no one knows them.

In a sense, this is indeed not cheating, but more like using information gaps to gain an advantage - just like the children of university teachers who can use their parents' laboratories at a very young age to produce several articles that can be published in There are cutting-edge scientific and technological papers in "Nature" and "Science"; and those who come from the countryside to do essay questions may still be struggling with which elective subjects to take this semester to get high scores.

The two's plans for future life are like the dwarf at the bottom of the well and the dwarf standing on the top of the mountain. There is naturally a huge parallax. This gap will become exponentially larger as they leave school.

Of course, people with high emotional intelligence may say that this all belongs to the freedom of personal choice and is not cheating. People with low emotional intelligence will flip the table angrily and curse the injustice of the world.

But that's the way the world is.

Some people know some things, and some people know other things. The power generated by mutual communication due to the information gap drives society to develop in a more profound direction.

Zhu Si didn't think so deeply.

As a witch who was lost in the mirror as a child and grew up in the bizarre world of Dreamland, her way of thinking still contains a bit of the innocence and purity of a child, and she has a very clear distinction between good and bad in the world. .

So, when she realized that Kolma seemed to be trying to cheat through her, her face suddenly turned sour.

"Feel sorry,"

The lecturer of the dream interpretation class at First University raised his chin slightly and said with a bit of pride: "Whether it is within the rules or not, I will not help you cheat."

"I told you it's not cheating." The great sage of the North District tried not to roll his eyes and made a helpless expression: "...This is what I plan to do these days, so since you can't help What's the matter..."

She shrugged, touched the empty wine glass in front of her, and very implicitly reminded the guests that her tavern was closed.

Zhu Si's chin that he just raised slightly retracted, and he asked with a hint of unwillingness: "Is there really nothing else?... There must be a reason for me to come here."

The guests were even more crazy about arriving at this tavern inexplicably than the owner, so if she just drank a glass of juice, listened to a short story, and then left hastily, she felt sorry for her transcendent inspiration.

Korma shook her head firmly.

But halfway through the shaking, she once again caught sight of the bright red spot on Zhu Si's forehead from the corner of her eye. Her expression was slightly startled, her movements slowed down slightly, and at the same time there was a trace of hesitation on her face.

"Well, there is indeed a small matter."

The great sage of the North District took out a small wooden box from under the bar, pushed it in front of the guests, and opened the box. It was filled with regular polyhedrons the size of soybeans, like rubies filled with magic power, but exuding a powerful glow. Magic gems have stronger magic power fluctuations.

Of course, this power is now bound in a box by more powerful magic.

"As you can see," Kolma stretched out his fingers, picked up a red crystal, and handed it to the guest: "These are imitations developed by the North District with the assistance of Dr. Duzem... the Philosopher's Stone. The imitation... but the one you are using can be considered a genuine one.”

Zhu Si reached out to take the imitation pill, and at the same time subconsciously raised his hand and touched the mark on his forehead that looked like a red mole. For a moment, she seemed to feel some kind of weak but clear resonance between her two fingertips.

When he came back to his senses, the tavern owner’s explanation was not over yet: “...If you have time, you can help taste this imitation and write down your feelings when using it and the difference between the two...or what you think about the imitation. Any suggestions for improvements... would be greatly appreciated."

Gu Hao

This is much easier to handle than the previous one, which may have involved cheating.

Zhu Si nodded happily and was about to say yes when his face suddenly changed and a burst of magic power surged out from the inside. The figure of the witch suddenly blurred. Kolma looked at this scene in surprise, the tower in his hand Luo cards were switched quickly.

The next second, the blur dissipated, and Da Zhusi disappeared.

A little witch in her teens appeared on the spot, rubbing her eyes and looking around in confusion. The color of the imitation Philosopher's Stone in the palm of her hand had become much darker.

At the same time, the bright red on her forehead became brighter and brighter.

"Can we use the magic power gap during form transformation to absorb magic power of similar nature to obtain additional supplements?" The great wizard of the North District thought silently and looked at the little witch in front of him.

"Huh? Why did I come out so quickly?"

Little Zhu Si murmured, his eyes sliding over the night, the candles, and Kolma's body, and finally landed on the unfinished bottle of amber light and another empty cup not far away.

She stood on tiptoes, indicating the distance between herself and the cup, and then curled her lips in disgust.

"Ah, is that guy drinking again?" She seemed not to notice the silver-haired wizard behind the bar, and complained to herself: "...I know how to do random things all day long, but I still have the nerve to say that I am an adult!"

"Will drinking make you passively transform?" Kolma put his elbows on the bar and leaned forward slightly. His tall figure fell forward, leaving a thick shadow that just happened to drown someone of short stature.

This top-down pressure made little Zhu Si feel a little uncomfortable.

But she still pretended not to be able to see the silver-haired witch in front of her. She opened her hand and looked at the dark red crystal in her palm. She carefully poked it and felt its hardness: "...can this thing be eaten?"

"You can give it a try, it doesn't cost any money." Kolma replied with a smile, and asked curiously: "Do you know who I am? Will you two share memories or feelings?"

The little witch finally couldn't continue to ignore the oppression coming from diagonally above.

She tilted her head and replied in a low voice: "What one or two... there is no 'us'... it's all 'me'... only 'me'! But sometimes, for the sake of safety, I will take the initiative to forget some Things... Of course, if you try hard to remember, you should be able to remember... just like... just like..."

She frowned and showed a hard-working expression, as if she were an examinee sitting in the examination room dictating a spell.

Magic power surged silently.

After his body blurred for a moment, Da Zhu Si appeared in front of Kolma again.

"Sorry, a little mistake."

She apologized slightly embarrassedly, stuffed the imitation pill deep into her pocket, and walked quickly outside the tavern, saying as she walked: "She is still a child, don't bother her with our troubles... I will complete the evaluation report on the imitation product and hand it over to you as soon as possible... Excuse me tonight."

Before she finished speaking, the tall figure of the witch disappeared into the deep night.

Kolma, who was left with a stunned look on his face, stood there blankly.
