Monster Hunting High School

The next morning.

While doing morning classes.

Xiao Xiao easily discovered the 'foreign objects' on Zheng Qing's wrists.

"Weren't you hiding around yesterday at noon, afraid that others would see your new string of beads?"

He spelled the word 'others' very clearly, and his voice was a bit teasing: "...Why did you suddenly let go today? What's going on with that new bracelet?"

Zheng Qing closed his eyes and said "no punch" slowly, ignoring the curious baby in his ears.

Until the morning class comes to an end.

As the two of them walked towards the edge of the field, because he was worried that the short wizard would talk nonsense in front of the fat wizard, he hummed and briefly talked about the origin of the green hairy dragon bracelet. At the end, he emphasized it vaguely. Concepts like 'balance'.

Xiao Xiao was very dissatisfied with Zheng Qing's deceptive rhetoric.

"If you talk about balance everywhere, the end result will only make everyone feel unbalanced. Because the world originally relies on the 'high and low potential energy' generated by 'imbalance' to drive its continuous development."

He warned the young teaching assistant with earnest words: "As for love...it is impossible to balance reality and love. Balance is an ideal state in magic, just like a rational person in economics, which is conceivable but cannot exist. "

Zheng Qing didn't pay attention to his noise.

Instead, I became interested in a certain word in his sermon.

"You also know economics?"

He was obviously a little surprised to hear such unmagical words in the magical world - although there are banks on Phuket Island, First University has insurance, and Su Shijun also discussed Yuexia Airlines' stocks with Zheng Qing, as a country with a limited population In this society, wizards have neither the motivation nor the need to develop economics at the level of a 'rational man'.

“How fresh!”

Dr. Xiao snorted three words with his nose and tilted his head at Zheng Qing: "When you were entangled with Senior Sister Kolma or the little horse girl of the Houyhnhnms tribe, I was always in the ocean of knowledge. travel!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zheng Qing glared at him with some irritation - only one or two parts of this irritation was due to the word "entangled", but eighty-nine parts were due to the doctor's mention of Luna Houyhnhnm.

The Houyhnhnm mare who vowed to give birth to a foal for her at the Shanglinyuan dance became unusually honest after entering school and did not pester him as Zheng Qing imagined.

This made all the "rhetoric" and "methods" he prepared in advance come to nothing. Every time he thought about it, it always made people feel a little embarrassed. Even if there was no one around, it would still make him dig his toes on the ground in embarrassment.

What's more, being mentioned by others now has once again awakened the memory that he tried hard to forget.

"What tangle? Who is Brother Scumbag tangled with again?"

Fatty Xin's whirring sound was heard. Zheng Qing turned around and saw the soy milk, oil cakes and tea eggs in his hand. He pursed his lips and finally decided not to be like Fatty.

He chose to keep things quiet, and the fat wizard who took the initiative over breakfast was a little unscrupulous.

"So, it's a fucked up world."

Fatty Xin shook his head, his tone full of compassion: "Money always flows to those who are not short of money, love always flows to those who are not short of love, women always crowd around men who are not short of women, and news always happens In places where you don’t want news…”

“Is there any news that appears in places where it doesn’t want news to appear?”

Zheng Qing had no choice but to interrupt the fat man's strange talk. He held the pancake in one hand and took a big bite. The rich aroma of wheat relieved the depression in his heart.

But the fat wizard's next words almost made him choke to death.

"The Daily Bugle exposed your presence in the North District on the Forbidden Day."

As if he guessed that Zheng Qing would choke, after saying this, Xin thoughtfully handed over the hot soy milk. Seeing that Zheng Qing was sweating profusely, he patted his shoulder with relief: "... But the situation is not bad. The report only said that "Vice President of Fringe College, Grand Wizard Kolma, Assistant Professor Zheng Qing of Fringe College and many other people were present." It did not mention the specific role you played in this incident, so you also Don’t worry too much.”

Zheng Qing held the hot pancake in one hand and the steaming soy milk in the other, puzzled.

How dare the Daily Bugle speak out on this matter when neither the school newspaper nor the Beta Town Post dared to report it? Taking a step back, why did only his name appear in the report, while the other two parties were listed as "many others"?

Before he could cast his suspicious eyes on his two companions.

Xiao Xiao's thoughtful voice sounded in his ears: "I see... If I guessed correctly, you have been affected."

"spread?"

Zheng Qing didn't react for a moment when he heard this familiar word.

Because his blood was rushing to his stomach at this moment, his brain couldn't keep up with the doctor's slightly jumping thinking - or in other words, the doctor didn't need to worry as much as he did because of this news.

"Yes. Logically speaking, the Daily Bugle has no reason to make irresponsible remarks about an accident of this magnitude."

Obviously, Xiao Xiao also had a similar judgment to Zheng Qing, but he immediately changed the subject and gave a conclusion that Zheng Qing did not think about further: "The only possibility is that a certain big shot gave Daily Bugle pressure and demands that he could not refuse. Or the reward, so they gritted their teeth and published this report..."

"Why not go to the school newspaper or the Beta Town Post? Aren't those two newspapers more influential?"

"This comes down to the word you mentioned before - balance."

Xiao Xiao didn't mind at all using a concept that he had despised for a long time: "Except for the school, no one can influence the school newspaper; and the independence of the Beta Town Post is not much worse than the school newspaper. So suppose there is really a big shot , then he needs to find a balance between 'influence' and 'controllability'. The Daily Bugle is the perfect balance point because last year, the Daily Bugle broke the news between you and Congressman Su. A few months of living are very nourishing.”

At this point, before Zheng Qing could complain, he turned to look at the fat wizard: "...If my inference is correct, then in the article you mentioned, there must be some accusations against Bei District. The accident has something to do with Senior Colma, right?"

His tone was assured.

The fat wizard gave a thumbs up: "This is not a casual accusation, but a very straightforward speculation. Senior Sister Kolma relies on 'summoning unknown existences and advanced wizards', so she must be concerned about 'illegal magic rituals'." 'Creating path dependence... In other words, the report suspects that the big snake was summoned by the senior sister, and she needs to bear full responsibility for the series of accidents. "

Finally someone took the blame.

Zheng Qing didn't feel much joy in his heart.

Because he finally remembered why he felt the word 'affected' sounded familiar to him. Jiang Yu had reminded him of this during the 'tea break' of the clone transformation technique yesterday afternoon.
