Monster Hunting High School

"I don't know if meeting you today is a good thing or a bad thing."

This was the first thing Lao Yao said after the office door closed.

Zheng Qing and Shadow Cat looked at each other, both shocked by these words - what about the legendary wizard who was said to be almost 'omniscient and omnipotent'? Even if you throw such a big hat when they meet, you are not afraid of breaking their fragile little necks!

On the contrary, the head of the small green dragon hanging on Zheng Qing's ear was raised higher.

Lao Yao walked around the desk and walked to the tall mahogany bookcase. He held the pipe in his hand and let the faint green smoke in the pot dissipate little by little. He didn't take a puff for a long time, seeming hesitant.

Especially when he saw the cyan figure hanging on Zheng Qing's ear, his expression became more cautious.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have anything to say..."

The last two words of Shadow Cat were blocked back by an invisible force. After a pause, it muttered again: "What I mean is, in short, the cats are here, so don't hesitate, it's not at all." like you!"

Lao Yao did not speak immediately, but continued to linger in front of the bookcase.

Wandered for a long time.

It wasn't until Zheng Qing was about to fall asleep on the sofa that he frowned and asked a question very slowly: "—What if, I mean 'what if'... what if you mastered an evil thing?" Will weapons destroy it, or use it?"

Zheng Qing suddenly became energetic.

But after thinking about it carefully, I was surprised to find that isn't this a classic question in Hollywood movies? A good man takes a powerful evil weapon and then must destroy it. Zheng Qing has complained about this kind of plot in the past.

Sure enough, before he could say anything, Shadow Cat couldn't wait to yell.

"Joke! I've only ever heard that hearts can be divided into good and evil. When did weapons also have good and evil?" Shadow Cat waved his claws and vowed: "Weapons are tools, and tools have no thoughts... Well, tools are just tools!"

Halfway through, he finally realized that in the wizarding world, some weapons really have ideas, so he worked very hard to revise his answer.

Professor Yao’s eyes fell on Zheng Qing.

The boy hesitated for a few seconds.

Finally shook his head.

"have no idea."

He answered honestly: "If I go by my previous thinking, it would be fine if the person using the weapon does not do bad things. But in the magical world... we have no way to confirm whether the weapon has been corroded by the power of a higher dimension. Will it be? It will have a psychological impact on the user, so the answer is I don’t know.”

This is a tame answer.

Zheng Qing originally did not expect this answer to be approved by Lao Yao.

Unexpectedly, the other party nodded happily: "Okay, this answer is enough. This question ends here. Just remember your answer."

He let out a long breath, and most of the hesitation on his face disappeared.

Is this the end?

Zheng Qing looked puzzled - he and Mao Shisan were called here late at night just to ask such a harmless question? All I can say is that he is worthy of being a professor who has taught magic philosophy.

He muttered in his mind.

Old Yao's voice came to my ears again.

"Don't think this question is trivial."

The professor shook the pipe in his hand, put it into his mouth, and took a heavy drag: "--Fu--I ask you a question, do you know what the saddest thing in life is?"

"People are alive, but money is gone?" Zheng Qing answered without thinking - this answer came from the Spring Festival Gala skit, and it was probably the last impression of the Spring Festival Gala in his life.

Shadow Cat gave him a contemptuous look.

The green little dragon tilted his head, pretending not to recognize the guy with his ears.

Zheng Qing came to his senses and cleared his throat slightly embarrassed.

Lao Yao did not laugh, but nodded with approval: "Well, the situation you mentioned is quite sad, but it is not the saddest. The saddest thing in life is to regret it all your life. Regret what you have done. Something you regret about something you could do but didn't do, especially the latter - being able to do it but not doing it is more sad than doing it wrong - just like you once had the chance to become a legendary wizard, but you were limited by morality. Or give up on ethical restrictions... This inner demon will haunt you for the rest of your life."

The Black Jewel Cat is not here, and there are no idiots in this room.

No matter Zheng Qing, Shadow Cat, or Cyan Xiaolong, their eyes all became serious. Because the professor’s last, slightly abrupt example didn’t seem to be pointless.

But the problem is, he is already a legend, why would he say that?

Or maybe he's not talking about himself?

The dean of Jiuyou College didn't pay attention to the glances exchanged between the man, the cat, and the little dragon. He just lowered his head and stuffed the golden tobacco into the smoking pot while saying to himself: "You child is being raised." He is too polite and too polite. Whether it is love, study, or other matters, he always looks forward and backward, and is timid, and he behaves like an old man at a young age..."

"He doesn't lack impulse at all." Shadow Cat glanced at Zheng Qing with a hoarse voice.

The young wizard sitting on the sofa twisted uncomfortably.

I don’t know why the topic suddenly turned to myself.

After finishing his cigarette, Lao Yao raised his head and looked at the boy seriously: "——In fact, when people live in this world, sometimes we don't need so much order and rules. Sometimes, we need a little impulse . Use emotion instead of reason, use intuition instead of thinking to help you make a decision... In this university, everyone is growing up, talking in the language of adults, greeting each other as adults, and pretending to be adults. As an adult, you pretend that you are not the runny-nosed child you used to be. But in fact, apart from biological maturity, there is no real sense of "psychological maturity" in the world. Being sensible is contrary to nature and distorts one's self, which is abnormal. Normally, who doesn't want to be a happy and carefree child for the rest of his life? "

He rambled on a lot, but Zheng Qing became more and more confused the more he listened.

Until the end, Lao Yao changed the topic and ended the previous topic lightly: "——Oh, there is another thing that I want to explain to you first, so that you will not be thinking about it all day long and not focus on studying. Go on. You have to remember that you are still a student, and successfully graduating from school is your most important task at the moment.”

Zheng Qing perked up.

I finally understood what the old man was saying.

But he was happy a little early.

Lao Yao's next words will stop him: "——After a while, when the Edge College is established, there will definitely be a fate catastrophe. This is the basic law of magic. The school has a dedicated person in charge of these, you Just don’t worry about it.”

Zheng Qing looked blank.

It was Shadow Cat who asked the question that just passed through his mind: "What calamity?"

"The calamity of luck."

The person who answered this question was the little cyan dragon hanging on Zheng Qing's ear. Its eyes flashed with strange colors. It explained unhurriedly: "In short, there will definitely be trouble in the school."

The dean of Jiuyou College gave it a thumbs up and expressed his attitude.

ps, stop it, Azu, there’s not a single word left in the manuscript... Everything should be done in moderation, hey~!
