Monster Hunting High School

The orange-red sun sat on the distant ridge, revealing only half of its rust-colored face.

There were no clouds in the sky, and there were only a few white streaks on the dark blue background. The breeze blows, and the flags above the hunting ground are rolled up, making hunting sounds.

The sound of these hunting flags rolling was the only sound on the hunting ground at this moment.

Lao Yao's coaxing and persuading words shocked some students who were originally making trouble - even if some people were still unwilling to do so, in such a public place, the power of the great wizard on the podium was Next, they all closed their mouths, sat in their seats obediently, and stopped making noise.

After all, this is a world where great power belongs to oneself, and the 'persuasion' of the superiors is always very convincing.

As far as Zheng Qing could see, perhaps the only puppet on the rostrum didn't buy Lao Yao's blame, showing a somewhat frustrated expression - of course, it didn't rush up to confront Lao Yao. , but shouted loudly, breaking the solemn atmosphere created by Lao Yao before.

"etiquette!!"

“Where’s the etiquette for award ceremonies?!”

"Etiquette! Get the medal quickly! Let's end this damn time-wasting program as soon as possible!"

The round brain of the puppet man was spinning on its slender neck, its two dark eyes were wide open, and the civilized stick in his hand whirred as he kept searching for and summoning etiquette. figure.

"Come on, come on! Don't rush me!"

“Why didn’t anyone tell us this brand is so heavy!!”

A sharp and hoarse voice suddenly came from mid-air, startling the young wizards who were looking left and right.

Raising his head, Zheng Qing's eyes suddenly jumped a few times.

An emerald-green budgerigar was hanging above everyone's heads, holding a bunch of yellow medals in its paws, and flapping its wings laboriously in mid-air. Although the voice sounded familiar, the young public-funded student did not confirm that it was this bird. Is the parrot the bird I know?

After all, in his eyes, all parrots look roughly the same.

"Is this our etiquette?" the young wizard murmured softly, and quietly moved a small step away from the parrot, lest something 'Xiangrui' suddenly fell above his head.

"Who is the sign for?"

"Who is number one? Speak up! If you don't speak, the bird will go back!!"

The sharp voice of the budgerigar sounded again. It lowered its head and its small green bean-sized eyes rolled around, scanning the bodies of several young wizards.

Zheng Qingshang was hesitating whether to go out, so the puppet man interrupted the budgerigar's cry.

"Ahem, thank you for your hard work, little etiquette bird."

The puppet man pretended to cough twice, stretched out his hand, hooked his fingers, and greeted very politely: "I am the guest of honor for this hunting competition... Just hand the medal to me."

"No! Definitely not!" The parrot clicked its beak and shook its little head: "The ancestors said that you can't just trust people who have no brains... You are a wooden person, do you have any brains?"

The puppet man was stunned, but before he could get angry, the budgerigar folded its wings and landed on the shoulder of Lao Yao, who was standing quietly next to him.

Then it tilted its head, raised its voice, and shouted at Old Yao: "You said before that you were just doing this kind of hard work to improve the bird's level? Aren't you deceiving the bird!"

"Niao is done with it! Bird wants to go back to the laboratory building and continue to work at the front desk!"

"Easy to say, easy to say." Old Yao smiled and nodded. He could not see the power of a great wizard at all, and seemed to have no temper: "I will help you adjust the level back later. It is very easy...you can return to it in the evening." Go to the experimental building of those little foxes and continue to work at the front desk."

The budgerigar looked delighted, nodded his head with satisfaction, loosened his paws, and threw the bunch of medals into Lao Yao's hands.

"The following is the awards ceremony!"

Seeing that the medals were there, the puppet man immediately continued his work with a stinky face: "The hunting team that won the first place in the 2008 Campus Cup Freshman Competition is..."

…

After the 'parrot etiquette incident', the rest of the process went very smoothly.

Zheng Qing went on stage, received the award, and gave a speech according to the puppet man's instructions. He walked step by step, but there was not much excitement in his heart, but more and more messy thoughts emerged.

He thought of the 'betting tickets' he bought from the blue-green-eyed man at the beginning of his hunt for the moon. He was betting on his hunting team's victory in the freshman competition, but he didn't know what the final profit would be. Thinking of this victory, he couldn't help but recall the memories not long ago. The bursts of boos coming from the stands around him made his mood even more depressed.

The only thing that comforted him was the first place medal. It was a heavy piece of gold. It weighed about half a catty. There were many profound runes engraved on it. It looked very valuable and made people feel excited. A sense of solidity.

Before leaving the stage, Lao Yao grabbed Zheng Qing, who was walking at the end of the Exoneration Hunting Team, and warned him quickly: "After you go out, don't go away, wait for me in the lounge... There will be more later. It’s a bit of a chore, I need your help to confirm it.”

Zheng Qing nodded with a confused look on his face. He didn't know if Dean Yao needed help from a first-year student.

But when he walked into the lounge, he immediately realized what the "chores" Lao Yao was talking about.

In the originally empty lounge, two figures were sitting opposite each other. On one side is the big black cat that is suspected to be Zheng Qing's 'shadow incarnation', and on the other side is a young wizard in a green robe and a bun.

This strange young wizard had fair skin and wore a pair of rimless glasses. Although he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his back was straight and his expression was meticulous. He stared at the big cat opposite him seriously.

The big black cat didn't care about people staring at it like this. It still lay lazily on the ground, its thick and long tail sweeping at one time and another, kicking up pieces of dust.

Hearing someone coming, the young wizard and the big black cat turned their heads at the same time and looked at Zheng Qing. The black cat's eyes were red and shiny, but the young wizard's eyes were calm and seemed a little cold.

Zheng Qing raised his hand hesitantly, just about to say hello. Unexpectedly, the man and cat opposite him suddenly withdrew their eyes and started looking at each other again. The atmosphere suddenly fell into awkward silence.

Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last long.

As the curtains flew up, Lao Yao strode in. The young wizard immediately stood up and saluted Old Yao respectfully: "Hello, Professor Yao."

The big black cat also swung its tail and climbed up from the ground, twitching its ears, and glanced warily at the great wizard who had just entered the door.

"Where is Baoyangzi?" Lao Yao asked directly.

"Because of what happened a few days ago, we collected a lot of 'material', and Master Baoyangzi is doing the follow-up related processing work..." the young wizard answered vaguely.

"Is it possible that you are planning to come up with a new spell?" Old Yao sneered, but had no intention of continuing to ask.

The young wizard adjusted his glasses, twitched the corners of his mouth, and showed a stiff smile: "We can't carry out further work without the principal's consent... You all know this."

"Don't be restrained, don't be restrained, we are all our own people, relax." Old Yao waved his hand, pointed at Zheng Qing, and introduced to the young wizard: "This is the child I mentioned to you before... this You must obtain his consent."

Then he turned back, pointed at the young wizard, and introduced to Zheng Qing: "This is an investigator from the school's 'relevant department'. You can call him..."

As he said this, Lao Yao suddenly felt a little stuck and couldn't help but turn around again and look at the young wizard.

"Forty-one." The young wizard bowed, but his tone was still very calm: "You can call me 'Forty-one'."

forty one? Zheng Qing wondered in his heart why he had such a strange name! Is there anyone named Four in the wizarding world?

As if he guessed what Zheng Qing was thinking, Lao Yao patted Zheng Qing on the shoulder and explained: "Forty-one works in a relatively high-security organization, where there is only a code name but no name."

"He came here this time to discuss with you a plan to deal with this 'big black cat'."

Hearing the word 'handle', Zheng Qing's heart couldn't help but twitch.

Siyizi, who was standing aside, immediately said: "In view of the status and threat level of this 'superdimensional creature', the relevant agencies believe that it needs to be placed in a safer place and receive relevant safety training... so as to Make sure there are no uncontrollable accidents.”

The big black cat stood nearby, shook his beard, and snorted disdainfully.

The wizard named Forty-One glanced at it and added sternly: "The relevant agency can issue a letter of guarantee to ensure the safety and health of the ward."

Hearing the words "security" and "threat", Zheng Qing couldn't help but think of the bloody slaughterhouse in the hunting ground, and his original idea of ​​​​arguing suddenly dissipated.

"If it agrees, I have no objection." The young public-funded student finally agreed.

Three pairs of eyes immediately looked at the big black cat.

The big black cat frowned, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Okay," it finally said, its voice a little hoarse: "Actually, I'm also very interested in your organization."

"Fuck! You can talk?!" Zheng Qing was staggered by the big black cat's words and almost fell to the ground.

"Idiot." Black Cat glanced at the young public-funded student, licked his lips, and muttered: "How could I have such a stupid body!"
