Monster Hunting High School

Sunday afternoon.

In a classroom where magic is practiced.

When Zheng Qing was once again hung by the restraint curse from the ceiling, Xiao Xiao, who was sparring with him, finally couldn't help it and took off his glasses.

"Although I know that your practical grades in Charms class are very good, you can't be so perfunctory." The short wizard wiped the frame of the mirror with a clean flannel cloth, frowned, and looked at the young publicly funded student who was struggling to break free from the vines: "With your mentality, I doubt whether you will get a passing grade in the practical exam of Charms class tomorrow."

The young public-funded student sighed heavily.

"Pass or fail..." He muttered, subconsciously glancing at the apologetic fortune teller, he hesitated again and again, and finally annoyed Dr. Xiao.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up!"

The short wizard rarely showed a grumpy look. He put away the flannel, put on his glasses, and glared at Zheng Qing fiercely: "You have been like this since you came back on Friday, and there will be no end... Who did you beat again?" Cheng is seriously injured, or Councilor Su is pregnant with her second child, so you want to run away early!"

His voice was a little loud, waking up all the elves who were napping in the corner of the ceiling. There was even a ghost leaning over from the next door, his long pearl-colored face full of curiosity.

Zheng Qing was startled by Xiao Xiao's terrifying guess and almost dropped the copperplate book in his hand to the ground.

"What a mess!"

The young public-sponsored student's face was pale. While driving away the curious elf, he quickly put up a barrier with his hands and feet to isolate the sounds from inside and outside. Then he took a small breath and complained: "I It’s just some personal issues...I mean it has nothing to do with anyone else...Forget it, what do you think about graduating early?”

After realizing that he couldn't explain clearly, Zheng Qing simply asked the question that had troubled him for two days and consulted the person he had wanted to consult for a long time.

"Graduate early? Who?" Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"Me." Zheng Qing replied honestly.

"you?"

The doctor looked at the young public-funded student up and down with a very hurtful look, and finally reluctantly put away his disdain in the wizard's angry gaze, and concluded: "In other words, the reason why you have been so distracted these past two days is that Are you thinking about graduating early? "

"It's too exaggerated to be haunted... I just thought about it more carefully... But yes, this is indeed an issue I have been thinking about for the past two days."

"not so good."

"What?"

"I mean, the idea of ​​graduating early is not good. Of course, this judgment is based on myself." Xiao Xiao rubbed the blue bamboo slips in his hand and curled his lips.

"how to say?"

"What do you think everyone does when they enter university?" Xiao Xiao asked.

Zheng Qing blinked and said uncertainly: "Of course you come to school to learn...the school's more advanced magic knowledge...and then graduate, get a registered wizard certificate, and find a good job?"

Xiao Xiao raised his right index finger and shook it.

"That's just the choice of some people."

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and a circle of portraits immediately appeared around the two of them. Then Xiao Xiao clicked on the portrait closest to him: "Just like Zhang Shuzhi, do you think Linda Barnes can apply one year in advance?" After graduation, will Zhang Shuzhi not get enough credits to become Lei Zhe?”

"That's not necessarily true." Zheng Qing muttered, wanting to remind his fortune teller that the Zhang family has never been known for their wisdom. Similar to Zhang Jixin, his biggest wish in life is to train his muscles into his brain.

"Another example!"

Xiao Xiao seemed to know what he wanted to say. He raised his voice slightly and chose a new figure: "Sir Friedman of Alpha, who was born at public expense for three consecutive years, was once a strong contender for the title of Augustus... But Even if he lost the competition with Serprano and lost face in Alpha Castle, he did not choose to graduate early! If he wanted to, I believe he would choose 'Blood Clan Heraldry' 'A Concise History of the Yuexia Clan' 'Yuexia'. He can also quickly earn enough credits for courses such as "Magic Philosophy".

This example was very convincing, and Zheng Qing listened honestly with his mouth shut.

"And I."

Xiao Xiao raised his hand to disperse the phantoms of people whirling in the air, and pointed at his nose: "Do you think it will be difficult for me to graduate early?"

Zheng Qing shook his head decisively.

Just kidding, he has no doubt that if only one person can be selected to graduate from all the students at First University, there may be some debate about this candidate, but if the mastery of magical knowledge is only used as the criterion for graduation, there is no doubt that , the only candidate must be Xiao Xiao.

"So," Xiao Xiao rolled up his bamboo slips and concluded: "For many young people from wizarding families, First University is more like a social place with rich resources, a place where they can come into contact with cutting-edge magical knowledge. An experimental platform, a place of freedom to escape the confinement of the family...accumulate experience, make friends, indulge freely, observe the world...There are so many things young people can do, why do you only care about learning?”

Hearing the last sentence, Zheng Qing suddenly felt enlightened.

Yes, I am still just a young man, an age where I should be free and indulgent, an age where I can feed horses, chop wood and travel around the world. Why do others come to school to escape from the cage, but I enter the cage?

What does the battle of wits between the top men of the No. 1 University have to do with me?

I'm still a kid!

Thinking of this, he finally felt a little relaxed and answered the doctor's question half-jokingly: "Why do you care about learning...because I am a student of Jiuyou Academy? For Jiuyou, knowledge is power."

"wrong."

Xiao Xiao shook his fingers and shook his head slightly: "For wizards, knowledge should be a lever... And at First University, this lever is not only longer, but also stronger. Because with this lever, you can really move the earth ”

"Then do you think I should apply for early graduation?" Zheng Qing cheered up and brought the conversation back to the original topic.

The short wizard did not answer the question directly, but reminded him very tactfully: "I am a fortune teller."

"So?" Zheng Qing didn't understand the tone of his words and thought he wanted to charge a fee. He dug around and found a few copper coins and patted them into the fortune teller's hand.

Xiao Xiao took it with a look of disgust, stuffed it into his pocket, then adjusted his glasses and replied: "Foretellers never give clear advice to people, they only list different possibilities for you... So, don't look forward or backward. Whatever you want to do, just do it...it doesn’t matter how big it is, don’t be afraid.”

The young public-sponsored student sighed deeply: "If you simply apply for graduation, it's really not a big problem... But in this matter, apart from fear, I can't find any other emotion."
