Monster Hunting High School

"When you said 'don't want to know' you just meant..."

Zheng Qing wanted to ask something more, but the door of the conference room suddenly opened. As a draft passed by, a burst of staggered footsteps also came. Zheng Qing suddenly turned his head and saw a group of dark figures walking away silently. Come in.

The leader is Professor Yao Xiaomi, the dean of Jiuyou College and the dean of the Academy of Magical Philosophy.

He seemed to be in class as usual, with handouts under his arm and a pipe in his hand. He had a smile on his face and raised his hand to wave around, as if he had walked into an ordinary classroom.

Following closely behind were several other black-robed wizards - Qian Jiuzhou, deputy director of the school working committee, Sister Margaret, deputy dean of Atlas, Professor Simon, deputy dean of Starry Sky Academy, and Charles, deputy dean of Alpha. Professor Zhang Yu, head of the teaching assistant group, followed quietly at the back of the crowd.

Zheng Qing knew all these people and had interacted with them to some extent, but except for necessary public occasions such as school hunting parties and opening ceremonies, they were rarely seen.

Seeing them appearing together at this moment, I suddenly realized that today's meeting was as strange as the rumors said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning."

Lao Yao put the lecture notes in his hands on the lecture table, raised his head, and made a concise and clear opening statement. His eyes passed over the faces of every teaching assistant in the conference room, his eyes were deep, and Zheng Qing felt that his eyes seemed to stay on him for a short time. For a moment, he subconsciously straightened his body.

There are many assistant coaches like him.

Although the legendary wizard on the stage calmed down, just one look made these young wizards feel stressed and held their breath.

“Today’s meeting is related to Edge College.

Earlier, the head of the Edge College proposed a very interesting plan. After review by the First University Professors’ Joint Conference, the School Working Committee and other departments of the school, they found this plan to be of great value, so I am here in this conference room today. , not to discuss issues with you, but to come with tasks and assign tasks to you. "

Having said this, Lao Yao paused for a moment, as if he wanted the teaching assistants to digest what he said, but Zheng Qing believed that everyone, including him, couldn't wait to know what the specific task was, and no one said anything. , the entire conference room was surprisingly quiet.

The professor chuckled, slightly dispelling the dull atmosphere in the room: "Since we are assigning tasks, I won't waste everyone's time.

Before that, let me say a few more words.

I know you have all heard a lot of rumors, one way or the other, but I need to tell you very clearly now that none of what you have heard is complete.

The establishment of Fringe Academy represents that a new world is slowly opening its mysterious curtain. Any wizard with an adventurous spirit and a desire to explore the new world should not miss this opportunity, and must also admit this fact - Facing the surging tide of magic, the power of the wider wizarding community is growing rapidly.

You belong to the elite wizards of the First University Assistant Group.

The teaching assistants only need to care about magic.

The so-called college stance and division of interests—that is, the real attributes behind news and events, or elements that directly become campus narratives—are all by-products of teaching assistant work.

Each teaching assistant can have his or her own specific background, unique worldview, and specific methodology, so we will not interfere with your specific views on everything, nor will we adjust the narrative style of the teaching assistant team accordingly.

The teaching assistants should tolerate anyone and reject anyone, just to see if he really cares about magic.

Okay, enough nonsense.

The specific tasks assigned today will be informed to you individually when everyone receives them. At the same time, as usual, you need to sign the corresponding contract when receiving the tasks. I need to remind you here that the work assigned to the teaching assistant group by the school is not easy. It will last for most of the semester, at least three months, and the relevant work will be counted as working hours. You will serve as the 'little hands' of the wizard who leads this project, allowing him to handle the more important tasks. Focus more energy on more specific matters..."

Hearing this, Zheng Qing finally couldn't suppress the shock in his heart and raised his eyebrows.

‘Little hands’ – petites mains – is an ancient term originating from the conservative wizarding community of Europa.

The old-school wizard-apprentice inheritance is very strict and hard. The wizard apprentices who are not yet independent live in the teacher's magic tower and practice various magic skills under the guidance of the 'teacher' day after day. But most of the time, this kind of practice is more like the exploitation of cheap labor. These wizard apprentices are more like contract workers in the magic tower than apprentices.

Even so, not every 'intern' has the opportunity to follow the teacher and listen to his advice. More often than not, most apprentices can only stay at the bottom of the magic tower, doing the most trivial and boring work of processing magic raw materials. , only those apprentices with outstanding talents have the opportunity to become the mentor's "little hands" - helping the teacher make complex magic scrolls or high-level magic props, doing some magic pattern drawing, magic potion preparation, and magic stones. Work such as inlaying frees teachers from boring and repetitive low-end homework to complete more complex tasks.

Ordinary magic scrolls only require the help of one or two 'little hands', but advanced ones, such as the drawing of the magic tower base magic circle, the etching of the internal magic circuit of the Yellow Turban Warrior, or the rune imprinting on the dragon knight's armor, are more complicated. The task requires a dozen or even dozens of 'little hands' to work at the same time, for dozens of days and nights, to meet the requirements.

But now, the entire teaching assistant group of First University is needed to act as a "little hand" to continue the task for a semester.

Zheng Qing could not imagine what a huge workload it would be - more importantly, the wizards in the teaching assistant group can be regarded as the leaders of the younger generation in the entire wizarding world. Not only everyone (except someone) is a registered wizard, Moreover, they all have one or two very beautiful skills, and it is not difficult to enter the key laboratories of the school.

Such talents were sent to take on the job of "little hands", which immediately made many assistants unable to hold back. However, under the stern gaze of the head of the assistant teaching team, no one said anything in the end.

"...Next, those whose names are called will come forward in order," Professor Yao seemed completely unaware of the slightly turbulent atmosphere in the conference room. His voice did not fluctuate at all. He just pointed at the deputy deans of the college next to him with the finger holding the pipe. Leader: "Come and receive your assignment... Andy Wolfe!"

A tall wizard sitting on the edge of the conference room stood up silently and walked quietly to the front desk. Several vice-deans beside Lao Yao had already set up a translucent barrier, which was blurry and made it difficult to see clearly. There was something inside, but Lao Yao was standing outside the barrier with his hands folded and his pipe between his teeth, smiling and looking like he was doing nothing.

Zheng Qing felt that the old man's eyes were on him again.
