Hunting High School

"Three months have passed since the last Kuroshio."

"On Phuket Island, from the O'Brien Mansion to the North District Wharf, from Green's Grocery Store to the Yang Painell Hotel, in the streets and alleys of Beta Town, the damage caused by the black tide has not yet completely subsided. "

"'The price of live frogs has increased by 120% compared to a month ago,' Marilyn Curie, a witch who has married to the North District, waved her arms fiercely at the reporter, 'Originally, the Kini House has agreed for us to use it. The mouse was used as a substitute for casting spells, but I don’t know why I backtracked and withdrew the order... Without the frogs, I couldn’t even do housework! But with the frogs, we can’t even afford the bread for our next meal! '"

"Kini House is a small wizarding organization located in the North District of Beta Town. Before Ms. Colmar de Kiney became a great wizard, this cottage is not much different from dozens of other large and small magic study rooms in the North District. .”

"'It (referring to the Kini Hut) has actually replaced the influence of the Beita Town Management Committee and even the First University in the North District,' a wizard close to the decision-making level of the First University revealed to the reporter privately, 'The school? Of course the school has This phenomenon is worrying ... but we have more important things to deal with.'”

(For "more important things", please pay attention to the in-depth investigation column "Reform or Coup - A glimpse of the leopard from the changes of the 2009 school hunting meeting" on the a3 page)

“There is no doubt that Ms Colmar de Keene – as she is more widely used in the North End as the ‘Great Sage of the North End’ – bears most of the blame for the school’s concerns, and with her help Now, many wizards with insufficient levels in the North District have learned to increase magic by squeezing the life force of frogs, and have achieved remarkable results (Mr. )."

"...that's why, since May of this year, the price of frogs used for experiments and other magical uses has been rising all the way (the wholesale price of green-skinned frogs from the northern pier to the shore has reached seven coppers each), so that Fizzle Both the Magic Pharmacy Company and St. Mungo’s Hospital need to use mice instead of frogs for drug testing, and magic materials such as frog skin gloves, frog eyes, and frog blood are also in short supply to varying degrees.”

"This leads to the second question - why did Ms. Keeney finally give up the plan to promote rats instead of frogs to alleviate the financial pressure on the poor wizards of the North District?"

"On the evening of the 28th, the last day of the first quarter moon, the reporter of this newspaper accidentally saw a scene outside the courtyard of No. 33 Gu Diao Street, which may explain part of the reason."

——Under this passage is the accompanying picture that Zheng Qing first saw. When he read this, the witch in the photo had already hidden her face under the wide hood, and was still walking hurriedly in the deep night.

"...the witch in the photo is Ms. Zhu Si, a lecturer in the 'Dream Interpretation' class newly hired by First University. This is a school-wide elective course designed to enhance students' understanding of dreams."

"According to a source who did not want to be named, Ms. Zhu Si has long-term experience in the dreamland Life, and she can provide students with a better teaching experience from a practical point of view."

valley

"'But her teaching skills are really bad,' an Alpha College student complained privately to a reporter, 'many people fall asleep during class...the school turned a deaf ear to our complaints...everyone says she has a hard backstage .'"

"Different from the Great Wizard of Korma, Ms. Zhu Si did not gain the school's recognition by virtue of her powerful magical power. It is confirmed that a former employee of the First University, a non-famous wizard who is famous for creating the Rat Race in the world under the moon, and There was a close relationship between Ms Juss."

"'Zhu Si is a descendant of the Rat Immortal, it's not a secret in the vagabond bar.' A regular visitor of the vagabond bar said to the reporter, 'It's really a descendant in the sense of blood, not like the two in the shop diagonally opposite. Mister Rat Man with a tail, just a conceptual descendant of magic.'”

"According to the reporter's investigation, when the Rat Immortal was a researcher at the First University, he did leave many records with the surname 'Zhu'. Because of an undisclosed secret experimental accident, he became a Rat Immortal.

Live in seclusion in the underground world of First University. It wasn't until the black prison incident broke out a few months ago that it appeared in front of the public again. "

"'The latter words are valuable,' the regular customer of the wandering club finally told the reporter a secret message after getting enough assurances, '...It is said that the Rat Immortal broke through the shackles in the black prison event and became a legend, and is now in Phuket An unknown place in the depths of the island is quietly transforming. If it succeeds, then it is likely that he will create a brand new race under the moon like the ancestor of the blood race or the fox race.'”

"Perhaps this is why Ms. Zhu Si was hired by the First University as a lecturer for the 'Dream Analysis' class."

"Back to our original question."

"What is the reason for the wizards in the North District to give up using rats as spell-casting materials?"

"As we all know, the wizards of the North District are trying their best to seek approval within the Alliance, hoping to obtain a seat in the Wizarding Council and enough places to enter the First University. If this appeal is endorsed by a legendary wizard, it will be accelerated to a large extent. The approval process within the Alliance... Conversely, with the full support of a wizard organization (North District Wizard Group), it is easier for the newly born Ratmen to find a new living space in Beta Town..."

"Of course, the above-mentioned conclusions are just standard inferences made by fortune-tellers and astrologers based on existing information... and why did the lady who is said to be good at 'analyzing dreams' appear in a sensitive area of ​​the wizarding world late at night, with an orthodox wizard? People may never be able to get a definite answer to the real reason for the close contact of a special group that is deeply disturbing to us... As of press time, neither the First University nor Ms. Zhu Si have given a clear answer to the relevant questions."

"...We have reason to believe that an open and transparent public opinion environment is in line with the interests of all wizards and a necessary condition for achieving maximum freedom..."

"...The First University, which has employed two generations successively, is also obliged to answer these questions and ease the public's anxiety...and to respond positively to the unresolved issue of the identity of the wizards in the North District..."

At the end of the article, as Zheng Qing expected, he saw a series of familiar titles and a name that impressed him——Senior editor and senior reporter of the Beta Town Post, head of the 'Truth' column, Luvi Pulitzer (Miss)
