Monster Hunting High School

The yellow civet took the black and yellow fruit with a moved expression.

However, Mr. Lengyouyou's voice sounded unhurriedly from the side: "——Let me remind you, when it was my agent before, it was a little arrogant and provoked a lot of people. When I was here, those people looked at me. For their own sake, they won’t make things difficult for it, but I don’t know if they will cause trouble for it after I leave... Although they won’t go too far, it is inevitable to suffer some hardships.”

No wonder Huanghuali is so eager to be promoted to legend!

Zheng Qing's face showed an expression of regret visible to the naked eye.

However, the tabby cat reacted more quickly. As soon as the gentleman finished speaking, it already had quick eyes and quick hands. It grabbed the fruit and stuffed it into its mouth. Then it twitched its ears, flicked its tail, and disappeared in front of the two wizards.

No hesitation at all.

"——You should have told me earlier!" Zheng Qing sighed heavily.

"Tell you, do you have any other choices?" The gentleman disagreed and smiled softly: "It is difficult to have perfect things in this world. Your time is tight and there are not many optional targets... Give it to it, yes The least bad option.”

Zheng Qing made some calculations.

Immediately relieved.

"Indeed, although that cat has a bad personality, relatively speaking, it is still very reliable." The young wizard smiled self-deprecatingly, changed the topic, and mentioned what the gentleman said when he gave the Xuanhuang Fruit: "—— You just said that how I handle this fruit will determine whether I will accept those three 'little' troubles... How did you decide?"

He emphasized the word 'small' very hard.

What I mean is that these things may not be worth mentioning to my husband, but they are very important to him and are not small at all.

"I actually want to confirm your handling style one last time." The teacher did not directly answer the boy's confusion. Instead, he mentioned something that was a little long ago for Zheng Qing: "——Do you still remember when you were a freshman? When I was in school, I bought a few gadgets on the recommendation of the wandering wizard when I went to the wandering bar for the first time. What did you do with them at that time? "

Zheng Qing was stunned for a few seconds.

After thinking carefully, I remembered that drunken night.

His expression was in a daze for a moment, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at a bookshelf, where he saw the small tree with its branches spread out in the glass ball.

Sir noticed his expression.

"Miss Jones's recovery speed is faster than I expected, probably because the magic tide brought by my promotion made the whole world evolve a little faster." After being relieved, Mr. changed the subject and spoke with a tone of voice. A hint of teasing: "——But, have you really thought about your plans after she comes back?"

The young wizard looked away slightly embarrassed.

"I gave everyone points."

His voice was dry, and he avoided his husband's latest question and answered the incident he mentioned earlier: "——I remember Zhang Jixin took away the flying centipede and bought Dylan a Tarzan stone, an emerald green bitter cross It belongs to Xiao Xiao, and the five-colored peach charm of Lightning Strike Wood belongs to Fatty... and the black donkey's hoof belongs to me."

The boy counted his fingers and remembered every account clearly.

"Were you rich at that time?" the gentleman asked.

"What?" Zheng Qing raised his head blankly: "——I have no money. I sold all the talismans I had saved for a long time at the Wandering Bar, and I barely managed to get fifty jade coins..."

His voice grew quieter.

To him now, fifty jade coins are nothing - he can earn more than seven hundred jade coins every month just from the blood rune bullet transaction with the Trident Sword, and there are also hunting teams participating in the hunting competition. Invitation fees, hunts, and dividends from D\u0026K, etc., fifty jade coins are really worth it.

But for him, who had just entered school two years ago and only had a scholarship worth twelve jade coins, fifty jade coins was a very big number.

But that day he walked out without blinking an eye, not feeling at all that he had been taken advantage of.

Why?

Was it because he was drunk that day? Or was he bewitched by the magic of a wandering wizard? Or maybe you want to make a good impression on the friends you just met, so you pretend to be fat?

"Because you don't care about things that don't belong to you." The husband gave a slightly harsh answer softly: "To use a more precise word, you are selfish enough."

Zheng Qing could not accept this reason.

"I'm not selfish!"

He blushed slightly and wanted to defend himself, but for a moment he couldn't find a suitable example. In the end he could only reluctantly say: "Why don't those fifty jade coins and the amulet I bought belong to me?"

"Because you don't belong to this world. In other words, at that time, you didn't have a true sense of belonging to the wizarding world. So you were eager to find a way to deepen your connection with this world... Looking at it from another angle, at that time you were interested in jade coins or There is no real concept of the value of talismans in the wizarding world. They are not something that truly belongs to you. Only if you truly understand its value can you truly own it."

"...You said before that I am very sacrificial. Is this a character that a selfish person can have?"

“Sacrifice and selfishness are not antonyms.”

The husband seemed happy that Zheng Qing could mention this. He patted the boy's shoulder comfortingly and explained: "Actually, selfish is not a bad word for me. It is extremely selfish, so it can appear to be extremely selfless. Know how to use the most indifferent words Only one who handles problems in a selfish way is a seeker The best mentality you should have. As I said before, the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. In your eyes, there is no essential difference between Xuanhuangguo and maltose. If you are really like a glutton, what? I want to hold all the benefits in my arms, I’m afraid I will rethink my arrangements.”

These reasons sound very advanced.

But Zheng Qing still couldn't accept his husband's evaluation of himself.

He was suspicious that even if he had just trampled the Xuanhuang Fruit into pulp, his husband might find out that this was because he was 'untouched by external objects' and 'so he is very suitable for taking on important responsibilities'.

"If I'm selfish, why don't I eat the Xuanhuang fruit myself?" the boy muttered.

"Because you know that fruit is mine."

The husband said it bluntly: "As the saying goes, 'A traitor is as loyal as a traitor, and a selfish person as public'. If you were not selfish, you would not try to be equal in dealing with the relationship with Councilor Su, Classmate Jiang and Miss Jones. Similarly, If you really had no selfish intentions, you should have given it to Miss Kolma, Professor Yi, or even Professor Emma, ​​but you gave it to your own cat..."

"I'm not someone's cat!"

Deep in the bookstore, the slightly dissatisfied voice of the yellow tabby suddenly came, but the voice was a bit vague, as if the fruit was still in its cheeks and had not been swallowed.

The two wizards in front of the window ignored the tabby cat's complaints.

"——What does this conclusion have to do with those three things?"

"I believe you will treat this bookstore, edge academy, and forbidden spells just like you treat that fruit. You will use them when needed, guard them when not needed, and hand them over to the right person when necessary. people."

"These choices don't sound selfish at all..." Zheng Qing was still a little worried about his husband's evaluation.

The husband chuckled: "Don't use ordinary people's concepts to deconstruct that word. Human nature is selfish. If you can do this, you can be regarded as a 'real person'."
