Monster Hunting High School

In late autumn, the days are shorter and it gets dark quickly after the sun goes down. 【】

From the pedestrian street to the tree-lined road inside the school, it seemed that in just the blink of an eye, the sky turned completely dark.

The various decorations prepared for moon hunting on both sides of the road have become more and more abundant.

The plush doll, which is as tall as a person, is wandering around feebly, and is occasionally caught by a few passing witches to take photos together; the colorful flags are buzzing in the night wind, and a few dazzling electric lights flash from time to time on the flags, adding to the atmosphere. The upcoming hunt adds an extra level of tension.

The most eye-catching thing is the lanterns floating in every corner of the school.

Most of these lanterns are palace lanterns, which are fat and round and look very festive. Their skeletons have been imprinted with spells by wizards, and they can only wander and drift slowly in a narrow space one to two meters above the ground.

The red candle sat on the thin wooden frame of the palace lantern and wept secretly. The candlelight passed through the thin gauze covering, clearly showing the 'curse riddle' printed on it. Many students stood under these palace lanterns and thought hard. Try to decipher the mystery.

This is the warm-up done by the organizers of this year’s school hunting party before the official start of the hunting month.

From the time the sun goes down to the time the moon rises, all kinds of lanterns will be floating around the entire school. There are various riddles related to spells set on the lantern. As long as the answer is answered, the lantern will explode, exploding a cloud of mist flashing with Venus and a random bouquet of flowers.

There will also be a talisman inserted in the bouquet - a standard talisman corresponding to the lantern riddle spell. 【】

This prize-based guessing activity obviously piqued the interest of many students.

Therefore, in the past few nights, the school seemed a lot more lively, and it finally created a somewhat moon-hunting atmosphere.

Zheng Qing followed Jiang Yu and walked around the campus - although he did this for the reason of sending the witch back to the dormitory, everyone knew that it was difficult for a wizard to have an accident in the academy, even if it was already late.

If Zheng Qing didn't say anything, Jiang Yu naturally had no reason to press him.

She simply strolled slowly, answering the lanterns that floated in front of her from time to time, and Zheng Qing occasionally went up to join in the fun.

It must be admitted that wizards from aristocratic families often have unique advantages in terms of basic magic. The lantern in front of Jiang Yu would emit a golden mist every now and then. After a while, the witch was already holding many bouquets in her hands.

But for some reason, the flowers in the witch's hands are all roses.

Red, white, gold, blue, roses of various colors compete for beauty in the witch's arms, and they are so delicate and beautiful.

"Take this." Jiang Yu suddenly turned around and motioned to Zheng Qing to take the bunch of bouquets. Maybe it was the reflection of the flowers, maybe it was the rendering of the lantern, but there was a faint blush on the witch's fair cheeks.

"I want to collect the talismans inserted between the flower bouquets." She muttered and explained.

It is indeed necessary.

Zheng Qing looked at the shining talismans inserted between the flower holders, nodded repeatedly, and quickly reached out to pick up the flowers, but accidentally touched a hand under the flower holder.

There was a slight chill in that hand, which made the young public-funded student couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Jiang Yu lowered her eyelids and twitched her eyelashes slightly.

"One, two, three..." She muttered quietly, looking for her trophy among the rosettes.

"It's really amazing." The young public-funded student said sincerely.

"It's just so... I used to play this kind of 'curse puzzle' game when I was a kid." The witch pursed her lips and raised her chin slightly, her long black hair undulating in the wind on her shoulders.

Zheng Qing suddenly felt that now was a good opportunity.

"Well," he asked tentatively, "do you like hunting?"

"I like watching hunting games, but I don't like hunting." Jiang Yu seemed happy that the two of them finally had other topics to talk about, and immediately started chatting: "The family holds a large-scale hunting party every year, usually in spring or autumn. ...Sometimes, wizard families with good connections are invited to come to watch the ceremony... During the Yunmeng Autumn Hunting last year, the clan's hunting team hunted a big demon... The Wizards Alliance also specially issued a letter of commendation. "

Zheng Qing sniffed and felt very stressed.

He was suddenly a little unsure whether his trivial matter could arouse the interest of this young lady.

"...According to tradition, our coming-of-age ceremony requires us to keep vigil alone in the hunting ground... It's really scary. There is no one in the dark hunting ground. Except for a Dharma book, not even a single amulet is allowed to be brought in."

Zheng Qing was making plans in his mind while listening to the witch talk about hunting.

Finally, when Jiang Yu finished talking about her coming-of-age ceremony, the young public-sponsored student couldn't help but ask: "Did you participate in this year's school hunting party?"

"School hunting party?" The witch glanced at him in surprise, seeming to notice something, and her expression suddenly became a little strange: "I am the representative in the class who is responsible for communicating with the school hunting party organizing committee, I must have participated...or "By 'in person' you mean participating?"

She emphasized the word 'personally' very seriously.

Zheng Qing nodded quickly: "There will be a spin-off event from the school hunting party..."

"Freshman Hunting Competition." Jiang Yu held his forehead and his expression fell slightly: "Is this what you want to say? Are you planning to participate in the Freshman Hunting Competition?"

"Did you also know?!" Zheng Qing did not notice the subtle expression of the witch, but asked excitedly: "The freshman hunting competition only allows us freshmen to participate...The rewards are very generous, are you interested in participating?"

"Whose hunting team did you join, Downton? Or Matthew?" Jiang Yu did not answer Zheng Qing's words, but asked a question that made him a little confused.

"Downton? Matthew?" Zheng Qing chewed these two names in his mouth for a moment before he realized: "They are also going to participate in the Freshman Hunting Competition?"

"You don't know?" The witch's beautiful eyebrows knitted together: "Then whose hunting team did you join?"

"I formed it myself." Zheng Qing scratched his head and smiled innocently.

Jiang Yu finally stopped talking.

She blinked and looked the wizard up and down with a hurtful look.

After a long time, the witch slowly said in a probing tone: "If you serve as the main hunter, even if I agree to be your auxiliary hunter, it will be difficult for our hunting team to perform well in the hunting ground."

Zheng Qing smiled bitterly.

"You put it too tactfully." The young public-funded student laughed at himself and shook his head: "Although I am the captain of the hunting team, the main hunter is Zhang Jixin, and the assistant hunters are Xin Banner and Xiao Xiao. I'm the Blue Bird of Starry Sky Academy...I only serve as a soy hunter."

Jiang Yu's face turned slightly red.

"Since your hunting team has Elder Zhang and Dr. Xiao Da, it should be no worse than other hunting teams." She lowered her head and continued to search for talisman in the bouquet of roses. At the same time, she muttered: "I see that your hunting team is full. Are you looking for me to be your substitute?"

"If there is a substitute, it will be me." Zheng Qing immediately rejected this possibility. He paused and finally stated his request: "I am looking for you because I hope you will be the manager of the hunting team... Doctor There is a famous saying in the wizarding world, 'Behind every successful hunting team, there is a good manager'... I hope you can become the figure standing behind our hunting team."

Jiang Yu did not reply immediately.

But she finally finished selecting the talisman in the rose bouquet.

"Give me the flowers." The witch motioned.

Zheng Qing held the large bouquet of roses and carefully handed them into the witch's arms. This time he was very careful not to touch the witch's hand.

"What are you two doing?!" A surprised voice interrupted the two young wizards who were handing over bouquets of flowers.

Zheng Qing turned around.

Li Meng stood not far away, holding a stuffed bear and looking at them in shock.
