Monster Hunting High School

A witch with disheveled hair is sitting on a piano and playing to the accompaniment of a symphony, Symphony No. 5 in C minor, also known as the Symphony of Destiny.

The sound of the symphony came from behind the curtain of the small stage. Although there was sound, it was still dark behind the curtain. No people could be seen, and no instruments could be seen. Only the continuous and symphonic music could be heard.

A tall boy stood at the front of the crowd, holding a heavy book in his arms and listening quietly.

As Zheng Qing and others approached, the witch pressed the keys heavily, and the passionate and powerful tunes echoed in the empty living room, and the fierce and repetitive sound of battle hit the eardrums of every visitor.

The chorus of the first movement of the Symphony of Destiny.

Zheng Qing judged.

When the music slowed down a bit, a clear and heroic female voice also sounded:

"What do you think about the future?"

"With Bragi and Myriel listening, Apollo looking, and Merlin witnessing, you can confess your thoughts to your brothers and sisters...any thoughts will do."

Bragi, Myriel, and Apollo are all gods of music in myths and legends, while Merlin is the legendary wizard in the wizarding world. These existences are real, so their testimony is very important to wizards. Serious.

The three later viewers waited with bated breath for the boy's answer.

"The future is too far away, and I don't have the ability to think that far." The boy smiled a little cautiously, and then he said firmly: "In the short term, I hope to enter university and become a formal student."

This is a very clear goal.

But Kolma ignored the boy's determination.

She just touched the keys and turned the Symphony of Destiny to the second movement.

Compared with the first movement, the second movement of Destiny seems much more relaxing. Many times, Zheng Qing feels that if the first chapter of destiny is the alarm clock in the morning, then the second chapter is the class at noon, making people half-awakened in a drowsy state.

The swirling music lingered in everyone's ears, and the boy seemed a little distracted.

"Which university do you plan to enter?" Kolma's voice was like a whisper.

"Of course it's the First University!" The boy's eyes were a little dull, but his tone was still firm.

The music seemed serene, elegant, and quiet at this time, so much so that it was almost silent.

The boy opened his mouth, and his tone suddenly became high-pitched and affirmative: "First University will definitely not accept a child of a magician like me!"

Zheng Qing was keenly aware that the boy's state was a bit strange, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao.

"Hypnosis?" He opened his mouth and asked silently.

Xiao Xiao shook his head, quickly wrote a few words on the open notebook, and then put it under Zheng Qing's nose.

"Soul torture."

Zheng Qing frowned, looking at the words Xiao Xiao left in his notebook, feeling that they were worse than the words he just said. He wasn't sure if Kolma's behavior was illegal, but since Xiao Xiao didn't stop him and everyone else around him had a common expression, he wouldn't do anything rude just because of his own discomfort. move.

The music was not interrupted because of Zheng Qing's distraction. The boy's words and intonation also rose and fell with the rise and fall of the music. Soon, the piano music gradually stopped, and only the low violin was moaning behind the tent of the small stage.

In the hall, only the boy's fast and fierce roar was extremely clear:

"...Except First University, there are no other universities in the wizarding world! I can only squeeze into an unknown magician club silently! This way I can occasionally come into contact with some fascinating magic!"

Zheng Qing frowned and looked at this scene seriously.

"...Advanced magical knowledge will be a holy book to me! I will never be able to understand the difference between transfiguration and transfiguration potion."

"In this kind of club, I will learn a few tricks, such as hat tricks and poker tricks. Then I will leave when I am desperate. Maybe I will go to the mortal world and live in revelry in the secular world; maybe I will wander in the world of wizards and rely on my strength. He used some tricks to win the sympathy of a passing young man and lady."

"I will not marry. No witch can accept that her husband is a magician. Just like I cannot accept a mortal as my partner."

"I will have one or two lovers and one or two illegitimate children among mortals or other magicians. But the probability of them becoming official wizards is even smaller than mine. I will definitely be irritable because of this, and maybe I will smoke and drink too much."

"After two, three, maybe ten drunken fights, I will be protectively imprisoned in the North District of Beta Town by the Wizards' Alliance."

"It didn't do me much good. My heart was weak from drinking, my lungs were broken from smoking, and my soul was sinking into an abyss of mania and despair."

"I will be diagnosed with lung cancer around the age of fifty... Even for a officially registered wizard, this is a terrible curse. With even worse luck, my liver will be damaged by alcohol."

"At the age of fifty-five, I will cut out more than half of my lungs and more than half of my liver. Then, because of a heart disease, I will install a stent."

"My lovers are in another world, and my illegitimate children will not come to see me after I die."

"No matter what, I'm getting older."

"Every day I wander around the narrow and bumpy streets of the North District, doing a few tricks in the corners to earn a few coins. At night, after exchanging a few sips of strong drinks, I huddle in a cheaply rented cubicle."

"Then in a cold winter, I will die silently in the small attic on the third floor of No. 48 Linhe Street."

"The owner of the attic will find my stiff body the next time he collects rent. He will call two homeless people with curses and throw me into the silent river outside the window."

Zheng Qing looked at the boy with tears streaming down his face in shock and silence. His voice changed from high pitch to deep, and finally became hoarse and choked with sobs.

The second movement is gradually coming to an end.

Korma did not continue playing. She stood up, hugged the crying boy gently, and sighed softly: "It seems that you have a very clear understanding of your future."

The onlookers did not applaud.

Everyone showed sad and empathetic expressions - except Zheng Qing and the other three - everyone raised their hands and made a strange hand gesture. Xiao Xiao pulled his two companions back a few steps and hid in the shadow of the wall, leaving the other world to the people of Gini's House.

"Welcome, my brother."

The low voices of onlookers lingered in the empty hall.

The crying boy gradually stopped crying and showed a hint of embarrassment.

Korma smiled slightly and kissed his forehead: "You did a good job...Only by knowing your future can you control your destiny. At this point, you can see it more clearly than many wizards. "

"Take him in." The last sentence she said was to the girl who led Zheng Qing and the others upstairs.

The girl nodded, walked forward quietly, led the boy who had woken up but was still a little numb out of the room, then turned a corner at the foyer, walked along the narrow corridor on the right side of the foyer, and soon Disappeared from Zheng Qing's sight.

Looking back, Colma had already passed the crowd and walked towards the three guests.

"Are you my facilitators in this magic ceremony?" Her tone changed from the seriousness just now and became more lively: "Hey, there is another acquaintance~"
