Monster Hunting High School

It was almost evening, and the sun was slowly setting behind the tall walls of the school. Now when I raise my head, I can only see a small portion of its golden-red figure. Sunlight passes through the dense canopy of trees behind the wall, casting mottled tree shadows.

The breeze blew, and the shadows of the trees danced with the trembling of the branches and leaves, like a group of drunken ghosts.

Zheng Qing was not drunk, but he was still standing in the drunken sunset with a flushed face.

Nicholas' high-pitched exclamation caught him a little off guard.

The curious looks from other freshmen made him even more uneasy.

Zheng Qing turned away awkwardly and focused his gaze on the screen wall not far away again.

He doesn't like people staring at him.

So, he regretted raising his hand.

Nicholas held his finger against his Dharma book and turned it quickly. From time to time, a few orange-red sparks burst out between the pages of the book, making a sound like exploding beans. He explained in a cheerful and impatient tone:

"The history of Jiuyou is actually recorded in the screen wall."

"So what you can see is history as you know it."

"You can see your name because you know yourself well enough."

"You can't see other people, on the one hand, they're not old enough to leave their mark on this wall, and on the other hand: not everyone can see the real history."

"If you want to see other people's names, you can try to recall specific historical events - such as the 1945 Wizards' Alliance Grand Wizard Conference."

Zheng Qing had an impression of the meeting Nicholas mentioned. He had just previewed this history a few days ago!

He recalled silently in his heart.

Numerous small characters slowly appeared on the blue-black stone wall:

"...July 21, 1945...the Grand Wizard Conference of the Wizards Alliance...the 1,536th meeting...reviewed and approved the "Measures for the Management of Wizard Behavior"...the honor of the Grand Wizard Conference..." Chairman, Vice President of First University, Ms. Shi Hui made an important speech at the meeting..."

Many of the contents are described in "Modern World History".

But there are also many details that are not shown in history books.

Zheng Qing looked at the knowledge on the stone wall greedily, and Nicholas's high-pitched voice came from behind:

"This wall is the dream of all Jiuyou Academy students!"

"If there is anything in this world that everyone can desire."

"That must be acceptance!"

"Accept your goodness."

"Accept your badness."

“Accept your successes and your failures.”

"Receive your glory and your riches."

"Accept that you are powerless and stagger away."

"Accept that you are growing old."

"We are all lonely travelers in time."

“Everyone wants to be accepted by others.”

Zheng Qing turned his head and stared blankly at Nicholas, who suddenly became excited.

His dark yellow skin was a little red under the setting sun, and his brown eyes trembled violently at his excited voice.

Xiao Xiao opened his notebook, grabbed his brush and wrote down quickly. There was a small piece of dark ink stain left on the corner of his mouth when he licked the brush.

"What do I wish for this world?"

"I hope this stone wall can accept my name."

"I hope everyone can see my name on the screen wall!"

Zheng Qing swallowed quietly.

What a great wish!

really brave!

Not everyone dares to shout out their dreams in front of everyone!

Xiao Xiao closed the notebook and clapped his hands hard.

Others followed suit and began to slowly applaud.

Nicholas blew his nose. Some of the old robes on his body showed new colors in the sun, and the polished cuffs and collar were also plated with a layer of golden red by the setting sun.

He looked at these new students with gratitude.

"puff."

A chuckle came from behind.

Zheng Qing turned his head angrily.

Several senior girls walked past them with their mouths covered.

Their crimson robes had two black trims.

This is a junior student.

"Okay! Let's continue to visit the school." Nicholas greeted the new students in a panic.

The breeze blew, carrying the whispers of the senior girls.

"He was talking about his dream in front of the screen wall again."

"How embarrassing!"

Low laughter came from not far away.

Nicholas blushed and roughly pulled Xiao Xiao away who was thinking about the screen wall.

Zheng Qing could still hear a few words from those girls.

"Isn't this kind of thing usually left to sophomores and juniors? How could he get such a task?"

"It seems that Lei Zhe suggested it to Professor Yao."

"Did you hear what he just said?"

"I want to put my name on the wall!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"I think he has done it now. At least he has become the 'history' of the entire First University!"

From a distance, several girls turned around, pointing at the newcomers, laughing non-stop.

The girls' backs disappeared around the corner not far away.

The journey continued, but Nicholas's spirit became noticeably lower.

Zheng Qing finally remembered.

Thomas once told him that there was a famous old student in Jiuyou College named Nicholas who stayed for two years as a freshman.

He quietly glanced at the thin figure in front of him.

Under the setting sun and in the evening breeze, Nicholas's back was desolate and lonely.

Maybe that's why he craves acceptance.

Those jeering voices are disgusting.

There is nothing worse than hurting someone else's dream.

Zheng Qing wanted to chase him very much, patted him on the shoulder and told Nicholas, you are so brave!

He doubted whether he had the courage to repeat a grade twice.

He had no doubt that he would not stand in front of others and shout out his dreams.

…

After walking around the screen wall for a few steps, my eyes suddenly opened up.

A square appeared in front of everyone.

This is a green square. Tender green lawns fill every open space, and there are large expanses of green everywhere as far as the eye can see.

Some old students were sitting leisurely on the lawn, reading textbooks.

Around them, various small animals were chasing and playing happily.

The golden-red sunshine puts a warm glow on this beautiful world.

All the freshmen were immersed in this wonderful scenery.

"I will also lie on this grass and read in the future." A new student murmured.

"You will prefer to lie in bed and read in the future." Nicholas looked at him gloomily, his voice a little depressed: "Only if you are still willing to read in the future."

In the center of the square is a rockery fountain, and at the end of the square behind the rockery, three buildings can be seen in the distance, one horizontally and two vertically standing in the central hall.

"Those three buildings in the distance." Nicholas gestured and introduced to the freshmen: "The building across the way is the Bishop's Building, which is where you will mainly take classes in the future. To the east of the Bishop's Building is the office building, which belongs to professors and lecturers. Bishop On the west side of the building is the laboratory building, which contains most of the laboratories of Jiuyou College.”

The three buildings are all painted in red and white colors. They stand quietly and solemnly at the end of the square.

"In the main teaching building, most of the courses are basically held there, but I have never counted the specific floors of the main teaching building. The floors are constantly increasing and decreasing as the courses change every day." Nicholas shrugged: "First University is always in a In the midst of constant changes, I doubt that this school is alive. Of course, some iconic buildings - such as the first gate and the first hall - are relatively stable and will not wander around. "

“Office buildings are boring and the average person doesn’t like to go there.”

"The inside of the laboratory building is more complicated, such as the underground alchemy room, the dispensing room, various testing laboratories in the middle, the astrology monitor on the top floor, etc. The practical courses, including the activity rooms of various student organizations, are Concentrate here." Nicholas raised his index finger and warned: "Unless you are asked or invited, I do not recommend that you enter this building. This may be one of the few high-risk areas in this university that is allowed to exist normally. ”

"So there are some illegal high-risk areas in the school?" Zheng Qing was keenly aware of the unfinished meaning of this sentence and couldn't help but curiously asked.

Nicholas pretended not to hear Zheng Qing's words and continued walking along with everyone.
