Monster Hunting High School

"Terry Duzem, a 1980 public-funded student at the Alpha College of First University, possesses a very high talent for alchemy. He completed the registered wizard assessment ceremony in the second year of enrollment. In the third grade, he published as the first author Important papers on divine substances, and became a special guest at the International Young Alchemists Conference..."

The puppet seemed to have returned to the stage hosting the hunting game. He was pacing back and forth on the large desk, turning the slender cane on his slender fingers. His voice echoed with the tapping footsteps, intertwining with each other to form a command. Pleasant rhythm:

"...Then the school built an independent laboratory for him - Duzem Alchemy Laboratory. Oh, there is a small detail here. The person who completed the thesis with Dr. Duzem was Professor Monteria... Maybe that’s why they met tonight, a simple exchange between two long-lost friends?”

"Getting back to the subject, at the age of twenty-one, Terry Duzem, who had become a 'doctor', entered the Major Arcana sequence of the 'Wand', code-named 'Star', which represents the future hope of the wizarding world. He should be nearly thirty The youngest recipient of the Major Arcana title in 2018...oh, no, should it be the second or third youngest?”

At this point, the puppet man flicked his slender fingers with some distress and counted them all: "Eighteen is less than twenty-one. Zheng Qing from Jiuyou College should be the youngest college student in the past thirty years." Kana...and the beautiful Su from Qingqiu, eh, twenty-three? How old is she?"

It purred its eyes and looked at the old man behind the desk, its dull face full of curiosity.

Ruoyu pretended not to hear its question.

After a period of anxious and meaningful silence, the puppet man laughed, turned his slender cane again, and started walking on the desk: "...Anyway, after a few years, Dr. Duzem violated the " The Wizard's Code stipulates that through an almost evil alchemy array, the vitality of all living creatures in a secret world was drained, and illegal life refining was carried out in an attempt to create a god. This incident was banned at the school and locked up. After the ban, few people knew about it.”

"As far as I know, Dr. Duzem's soul was greatly damaged due to the experimental accident in his early years. In addition to symptoms such as premature aging, he should have no hope of advancing to the great wizard for life... and in the dark After the Battle of Prison, it was revealed that Dr. Duzem had successfully refined the Philosopher's Stone. Although he maintained his independence and security and gained some freedom through the mutual compromise of different forces, it is hard to say what his future destiny will be... "

Not knowing what he thought of, the puppet man sighed slightly, shook his head, stopped, took off his top hat, took out a wooden goblet from the hat, pretended to take a few sips, and then raised it. He raised his glass and added: "Respect for freedom... The above is what I know about Dr. Duzem."

After losing the only source of sound, the huge office returned to calm.

Perhaps because the night is getting darker, the darkness in the house is getting deeper and deeper. The fairy fire on both sides of the door in the distance has become the size of a green bean, trembling in the endless darkness, and it seems that it will be completely extinguished in the next second.

Old man Ruoyu sat in a large high-backed chair, folded his hands, and looked at the small and brilliant starry sky outside the side window, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.

After a long time, when the puppet man was already considering whether to take out the pillow and quilt from his top hat, the old wizard behind the desk finally made some movement.

"It's really hard to say."

He withdrew his gaze from the starry sky and landed on the puppet man again. Then at the end of the puppet man's words, his voice sounded without any fluctuation: "Destiny, freedom, these beautiful words originally represented the most sincere hope of wizards. . Just like Dr. Duzem. He originally placed his hope on that huge skeleton - if I remember correctly, he named it Ju Ling San - in the hope that by creating a powerful enough extraordinary life, In other words, create a real 'god' to break the shackles and shackles of your body and advance to the level of a great wizard."

"There is no doubt that this is a smooth road. The road he tried was originally a way for a great wizard to advance to a legendary wizard, just like the ancestors of werewolves and vampires. And Dr. Duzem, with his outstanding talent, simplified This way, try to use it to break through the locked level of the great wizard."

"A very creative idea." The puppet man listened with interest and couldn't help but boldly comment.

"It's really creative."

The old wizard did not feel dissatisfied, but nodded with approval, and then shook his head: "The only problem lies in 'fate', or to be more specific, in 'luck'."

"For ordinary wizards, luck is a poor and abstract concept. But for high-level wizards, luck is not so illusory... One possibility that can be speculated is that because of the illegal and cruel event many years ago Forged by his own life, huge resentment has always surrounded Dr. Duzem, which not only caused great harm to his soul, but also damaged his luck, causing him to have bad luck. "

"Is that why his Giant Zero Three was taken away by Old Man Mouse?" The puppet man became more and more courageous.

Old Ruoyu looked at the small window again and sighed softly: "It can't be called 'taking', it can only be said to be a fool of fate... As the saying goes, talent cannot match luck, and talent cannot make up for mistakes. . The higher the talent, the further away from the destination he will be when he takes the wrong path... He is now like a herb collector on the edge of a cliff."

"Herb collector?"

"The herb picker can see the beautiful snowdrop on the mountain in the distance, but when he gets closer, he will find that the flower is growing on a steep cliff. The moment he reaches out to pick the flower, he is very likely to Falling off a cliff and dying... But can this stop him from reaching out? After traveling through mountains and rivers, and facing countless hardships, the flower is already within reach, can he still take a step back and have nothing but life? Furthermore, even if you fall off the cliff, you will still be holding the flower in your hand."

The puppet unconsciously took off his hat, stared at it with his fingers, and murmured: "If it were me, I would rather live."

The old man behind the desk answered the different choices using Aristotle's words: "Some people live to eat, and some people eat to live."

The puppet man put on his top hat and looked solemnly at the old wizard behind the desk.

"Don't judge others casually!" It imitated the old pastor of Atlas College, and in a long tone, randomly pieced together the words from the Bible: "Don't judge others, lest you yourself be judged; for how you judge others, others will be judged." People will judge you the same way.”
